The weather was cold, and everyone was wearing three layers of clothes. In addition, although Li Nian's belly was visible, it was not very big.
If you don't look closely, you really can't tell that she is pregnant.
Lin Hongsang hated Li Nian very much and regarded her as a love rival, so it was naturally impossible for her to look at Li Nian carefully.
Plus, Shen Baiying said last time that Shen Qianye liked Li Nian.
So she didn't think about it that way at all.
When I heard Li Nian say she was pregnant, my first reaction was, Brother Qianye and this southern girl are already together? An affair without a matchmaker?
"My ex-husband's." A soft voice answered frankly.
Lin Hongsang was even more confused.
So Shen Qianye fell in love with a pregnant woman?
She looked at Shen Qianye with a questioning look: “Brother Qianye, is she really pregnant?”
"Um."
After receiving Shen Qianye's affirmative answer, Lin Hongsang suddenly became furious.
How could she, a pure and innocent young lady, be inferior to this married woman who was pregnant with her ex-husband's child?
Lin Hongsang's resentment and grievance instantly turned into anger that swelled in his chest.
She glared at Li Nian and scolded loudly: "Since you are pregnant with your ex-husband's child, why do you still want to seduce my brother Qianye!"
“Sister Hongsang!” Shen Baiying didn’t expect Lin Hongsang to suddenly say this.
She looked at Li Nian nervously, but saw that she was frowning, with confusion and doubt in her eyes.
"You must have misunderstood. Shen Qianye and I are just friends."
Shen Baiying quickly agreed: "Yes, Sister Hongsang, you misunderstood, we are just ordinary friends." She winked at Lin Hongsang.
But Lin Hongsang didn't even look at her.
Lin Hongsang sneered, "Friends? Bai Ying told me last time, Qianye admitted in person that he likes you!" She glared at him, "Why are you still pretending? I don't believe you don't know."
Li Nian really didn't know, she saw that Shen Qianye was also very good to Sisi?
She looked at Shen Baiying inquiringly.
Shen Baiying was so angry that she would die. If she had known this, she would not have told Sister Hongsang that day!
"No! Nian Nian, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Li Nian felt relieved and looked at Lin Hongsang with an expression that said, "You must have misunderstood me."
Wang Bai quietly ate food, drank wine and watched the show.
Thinking of the surprise confession my friend prepared on New Year's Day, I couldn't help but laugh.
This guy Shen Qianye even thought of a name for the child, but the girl doesn't like him at all?
Hehehe.
Seeing the three women quarreling, Shen Qianye’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He stood up, his usually clear and bright voice now a little low: "Nian Nian, I'll take you back."
Li Nian looked at Shen Baiying: “Baiying, let’s go back?”
Without even looking at her, Shen Baiying replied, “I have something to say to Sister Hongsang, you and my second brother go back first.”
Li Nian pursed her lips, thinking that Shen Baiying would probably say something to Lin Hongsang in private, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Shen Baiying didn't respond again, but pulled Lin Hongsang out.
Li Nian followed Shen Qianye out.
Wang Bai had no more show to watch, so he stood up a little disappointed, and suddenly remembered that these people had not paid the bill yet!
Wang Bai stood up and sat down again.
He paid for it, so he had to finish the food and drinks before leaving!
Back in the carriage, Shen Qianye said hesitantly: “Niannian, don’t think too much, Lin Hongsang is sick.”
Li Nian was stunned for a moment: "What disease?"
Shen Qianye's tone was a bit gnashing of teeth: "Our two families are old friends. She and I grew up together. When I was a child, he pestered me and said he wanted to marry me."
"I originally thought she was joking, but ever since I came of age, whenever she sees me talking to someone, she thinks that person likes me."
“The rats she raises are…” At this point, Shen Qianye suddenly remembered that Li Nian was afraid of rats, so he stopped talking.
Instead, he said as if to assure her: "Don't worry, I will deal with my relationship with her as soon as possible."
Li Nian was intrigued by his words and couldn't help asking, "Why does Lin Hongsang raise mice?" Could it be that she likes to eat mouse meat?
I've heard before that people in some places like to eat rats, but it seems that eating rat meat is not popular in the northwest.
“She is sick and likes to raise mice for fun.” Shen Qianye replied.
Li Nian couldn't understand why someone could raise rats. It was unbelievable.
There was no conversation along the way. Shen Qianye had something on his mind. After sending Li Nian back, he rode away on his horse.
Li Nian only bought a few things today, so he thought that he would take Yu Niang and Xiao Ying to walk slowly on the street in the future, buying a little bit every day, and he would be able to buy everything.
A few days ago, the doctor said that she didn't like to go out and lacked exercise, so she should go out for a walk more often.
Now is the perfect time to kill two birds with one stone.
In the evening, Li Sisi brought back good news.
Brother Pei wrote home, saying that everything was fine and asking them not to worry.
Another good news is that Pei Yanli gave Li Sisi a holiday!
A full half month of annual leave!
Now, they can go shopping for New Year's goods together.
Shen Baiying has never come to see Li Nian since the last time, and even Shen Qianye has come less often.
Li Nian told Li Sisi about Lin Hongsang. Li Sisi was furious and wanted to find trouble with Lin Hongsang, but was stopped by Li Nian.
There is no need to waste time and emotions on an unimportant person.
It is better to focus on the most important things at hand.
Their first New Year in this world must be a prosperous one.
There were a lot of red lanterns at home, and Li Sisi hung them up before the New Year.
There is also a New Year picture prepared for every door, not to mention food and drinks.
New clothes have also been bought for Yu Niang and Xiao Ying.
After finishing all these, the countdown to the New Year has begun.
Shen Qianye has been trying to enlighten Shen Baiying recently, but unfortunately the results are minimal.
However, he did not give up on his confession on New Year's Day.
After what happened last time, Shen Qianye vaguely felt that his confession might not be successful.
Therefore, he planned to use a roundabout tactic and first find Li Sisi to inquire about the situation, and by the way, try to understand Li Sisi's attitude towards him.
If Li Sisi is willing to help him, then he and Nian Nian will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
