"You look so enviable!"
Zhu Qianying vaguely remembered what she looked like when she was heavily pregnant. Of course, she wasn't bloated, but she definitely couldn't be as elegant as her younger sister is now.
"Shadow, since you're so envious, why don't you ask Brother Yan to teach me?"
Ji Huan, who was about to become a father, couldn't hide his joy, and he spoke with great pride.
Before Zhu Qianying could speak, a man's voice came from the doorway, "What do you want me to ask you, Second Young Master Ji?"
The one who spoke was Young Master Yan, who strode in.
Ji Huan punched him in the shoulder. "Brother Yan, you need to step up your game!"
As they spoke, the two sisters raised their chins slightly.
Yan Shao immediately understood and readily admitted, "Yes, I will. I've been trying to conceive lately!"
Zhu Qianying's face flushed slightly, and she glared at Yan Shao reproachfully.
While the couple reached a consensus on the baby issue, it doesn't mean they should announce it publicly in front of so many people!
Yan Shao's frankness amused everyone present, making them chuckle.
The Yanbo couple, who arrived a step earlier with Zaozhu Qianying, were overjoyed upon hearing their son's words.
Madam Yan immediately leaned close to Letong's ear and whispered, "Tongtong, it seems we should keep our travel plans to a minimum for now. I missed Zizai's birth, and I don't want to miss my grandson too."
Le Tong and Ji Rui certainly don't have any plans to travel far recently, after all, Ji Huan and Zhu Qianyu's baby is about to be born.
Furthermore, it seems that Chen Jing and Luo Yifan's wedding will be held soon.
Ji Huan and Yan Shao chatted for a few minutes about the baby. Seeing Luo Yifan come out of the kitchen, Ji Huan asked, "Uncle Luo, have you and Mom decided on your wedding date?"
Luo Yifan glanced at him dismissively, "Still calling me Uncle Luo?"
Ji Huan looked at Zhu Qianying and then at Yan Shao. Yan Shao nodded, "That's right, we've both changed our tune."
Ji Huan didn't stand on ceremony and called Luo Yifan "Dad!" in a straightforward manner.
Luo Yifan readily agreed, and then said to Ji Rui with a hint of smugness, "Brother Ji, back then I asked Xiao Yu and Xiao Huan to recognize me as their godfather, but you refused. Now, Xiao Huan is calling me that, isn't he? So, this is fate."
Ji Rui glanced at him indifferently, "You're wrong. This is your fate with A Jing, and Xiao Huan and Xiao Yu's fate. They're two different things."
On such a happy day, Luo Yifan certainly wouldn't argue about this matter any longer. Besides, what Ji Rui said was also true.
"Dad, have you and Mom decided on a wedding date?"
This time, it was Zhu Qianyu, with her big pregnant belly, who asked the question.
She only heard that her mother and Luo Yifan had registered their marriage, but she didn't know that her mother wanted everything to be kept simple.
Luo Yifan glanced at Zhu Qianying, "You should ask your sister about this. I can't really say."
Zhu Qianyu turned to look at Zhu Qianying with great curiosity, "Sister, what's going on? Are you inconvenienced?"
Zhu Qianyu assumed that her sister was too busy to find the time to arrange her mother's wedding.
"Of course it wasn't me. It was Mom who wanted to keep things simple. But I think I can convince her, so don't worry."
Judging from yesterday's situation, my mother has become very skeptical.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianyu finally felt relieved.
"Yes, if you need any help from us, just let us know."
Zhu Qianyu felt very guilty. She hadn't been able to help much with her sister's wedding, and now her mother's wedding coincided with her own baby's due date.
"Okay! If you need any help, I'll talk to Ji Huan. As for you, just relax and prepare for childbirth!"
Zhu Qianying's words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
After a while, Zhu Qianyu leaned close to Zhu Qianying's ear and asked curiously.
"Sister, before, when the topic of the baby came up, my brother-in-law always seemed ambiguous, but this time it's completely different. Are you pregnant?"
Zhu Qianying paused slightly, "I'm not quite sure..."
All she knew was that neither Yan Shao nor she had taken any measures recently.
If she's lucky, perhaps new life has already begun to take root and sprout inside her.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianyu felt there was a chance, and said with a smile, "You can take the test!"
Zhu Qianying calculated the days and felt it was still a bit early.
"Let's wait a bit, it's still early!"
She was actually anxious, but some things can't be rushed.
Especially when it comes to children's matters, you can't rush things.
The two sisters were whispering to each other, while several men and elders were discussing Luo Yifan and Chen Jing's wedding.
Although Chen Jing, the person involved, had stated that everything should be kept simple, the current discussion is not about keeping things simple.
Meanwhile, Chen Jing, the person involved, was in the kitchen preparing the menu for tonight's dinner. It was a rare occasion for several families to get together, and she was going to cook the dish that had won a gold medal at the food exhibition to entertain everyone. So, while the discussion outside was very lively, Chen Jing in the kitchen was very focused on cooking.
Luo Yifan chatted with everyone for a while, then, feeling a little worried about Chen Jing, he told everyone and slipped into the kitchen to check on Chen Jing's progress.
"What are you doing in here? Go out and keep them company!"
Chen Jing was busy, and when she saw him come in, she told him to leave.
Luo Yifan walked behind her and gently massaged her back.
"Thank you for your trouble! Actually, it would have been fine to just eat out; there was no need for you to arrange everything yourself." Luo Yifan was now starting to feel sorry for his wife.
Chen Jing's hands never stopped. "That's different. It's rare for everyone to get together happily. Eating out can never be as thoughtful as cooking at home."
In Chen Jing's eyes, both the Ji family and the Yan family were benefactors in her life.
Without these two families, neither she nor her two daughters would have been able to escape from the deep pit that was the Zhu family.
Not to mention, it gave her the opportunity to become the dazzling Chen Jing she is today.
Therefore, this meal is less a gathering for family reunion and more a meal of gratitude.
Of course, she didn't want to tell Luo Yifan about these things, because they involved too many things from the past.
She could face those unpleasant things with equanimity, but she knew that Luo Yifan didn't like to hear them.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Luo Yifan. If it were her, she wouldn't like to hear Luo Yifan mention his ex-wife either.
And Luo Yifan, indeed, was also mentioned in a very small way.
This is a sign of respect for both his ex-wife and Chen Jing.
Knowing he couldn't persuade her, Luo Yifan could only stand behind her, occasionally handing her sauces or something similar.
Chen Jing's two apprentices were already used to their master and grandmaster showing affection in the kitchen all day long. Now, they were both focused on their work and trying their best not to disturb their master's good time.
After Luo Yifan handed her the wrong sauce for the nth time, Chen Jing finally couldn't help but shoo him away again, "Boss Luo, could you please go out and keep the guests company? I can manage here!"
It must be said that although Luo Yifan is a successful restaurant businessman, he could never become a chef, not even if he tried.
