Outside the window, the winter air was crisp and cold, but inside, it was warm and cozy, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
...
After the wedding, they returned to their home in Yecheng.
Outside the window, the night enveloped everything.
Shang Wu took off her light blue coat.
Lu Rang immediately took it, carefully hung it up, and then turned around to get her some soft house shoes to change into.
The room still retained a faint scent of joy brought back from the wedding.
Shang Wu leaned back in the soft sofa in the living room, gently rubbing her slightly sore calves, her face still warm and filled with a touch of emotion.
"It's so nice to see my sister and Cheng Zhou like this today. I'm really happy for them. It feels like they've come a long way, with some minor setbacks, but they've finally made it back to each other."
As she spoke, she suddenly looked up at Lu Rang, who was pouring her warm water, her eyes shining brightly under the light.
Shang Wu said softly, with a hint of coquetry, "Lu Rang, on such a happy day, shouldn't we celebrate a little? Just a small sip, okay? I promise, just a small sip of champagne?"
She held up her index finger and thumb to indicate the height, gazing at him longingly like a greedy cat.
Since becoming pregnant, her diet has been strictly controlled; not to mention alcohol, even coffee and milk tea have become luxuries.
At today's wedding, watching everyone raise their glasses in celebration, she also wanted to have a taste.
Lu Rang carried over the warm water and saw her unusually charming appearance. His heart softened, but he could not compromise on matters of principle.
He remained expressionless, handed her the warm water, and said gently but firmly, "No, alcohol is bad for the baby."
Shang Wu's face immediately fell, and she muttered, "It's just a small bite, just a tiny bit..."
Lu Rang saw her disappointed look and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
He didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the wine cabinet.
Shang Wu's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at his back with anticipation.
Lu Rang took out a bottle that looked like champagne from the wine cabinet, and then took a slender tulip glass. He opened the bottle and poured the wine with his back to Shang Wu.
Lu Rang directly replaced the real champagne with sparkling grape juice.
He carried it back and handed it to Shang Wu.
The wine is clear and bright, with fine bubbles rising up along the glass, looking no different from real champagne.
"You can only drink this small sip." Lu Rang handed her the cup, his tone filled with indulgent yet helpless pampering.
Shang Wu immediately beamed with joy and carefully accepted the wine glass.
"It's delicious!" She took a sip, squinted her eyes, and looked completely satisfied.
Looking at her adorable, easily satisfied appearance, Lu Rang's heart melted.
He sat down next to Shang Wu, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "After the baby is born, I'll drink whatever you want."
Shang Wu leaned against him, and weariness gradually crept over her.
Her eyelids started to droop.
Seeing this, Lu Rang gently took the wine glass from her hand and said softly, "Tired? Let's go to sleep."
"Mmm," Shang Wu responded softly, leaning against him dependently.
Lu Rang picked her up horizontally.
Shang Wu then wrapped her arms around his neck with relief and buried her face in his shoulder.
Lu Rang walked steadily upstairs step by step, gently placed her on the soft bed in the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and dimmed the lights.
In her hazy state, Shang Wu felt his gentle goodnight kiss on her forehead, a sweet smile on her lips, before drifting off to sleep.
...
Three days later,
According to custom, on the third day after their wedding, Lu You and Cheng Zhou are required to return to their parents' home.
However, they did not return to the Yu family's old residence, but went directly to Lu Rang and Shang Wu's home in Yecheng.
In Lu You's words, "This place feels more like my maternal home."
Lu Zheng naturally arrived early as well.
Around noon, a car stopped in front of the villa.
Cheng Zhou got out of the driver's seat first, quickly walked around to the passenger side, and deftly opened the car door.
He didn't let Lu You get out of the car immediately. Instead, he first put his hand above the car door to prevent her from hitting her head, and then helped her out of the car by supporting her arm.
Lu You, wearing a newly bought red coat, had a blush of newlywed blush on her face and naturally placed her hand in Cheng Zhou's arm.
Lu Zheng saw it all.
He had been a little worried that Cheng Zhou wasn't steady enough, but seeing his thoughtful and considerate actions, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Dad, we're back!" Lu You greeted him with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
"Dad," Cheng Zhou called out as well, his tone more solemn and affectionate than before.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back."
Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly, his gaze shifting between his daughter and son-in-law.
