Zhen Tian was happy for several days after hearing Ji Yuzhi's wonderful description.
This excitement lasted until she returned from H City.
Ji Yuzhi's vacation was very short, only enough for them to go back and briefly explain everything that had happened during that time to their parents.
I also shared two red certificates.
Zhen Tian was overjoyed, as were Lu Ti and Liu Ye.
The two sisters gathered together and remarked on how quickly time had passed, and how quickly the children were all together.
Then she sighed, "After all these years, the two children are finally together."
On the way back, Liu Ye and Lu Ti each slipped a card to Zhen Tian.
"Your wedding will definitely be held in S City. It's so far away, I don't know if your parents can help. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell us."
"This money is for you newlyweds to buy things. If you don't need it, just keep it."
"Mom doesn't need it," Zhen Tian refused. "I only have money."
"Keep it."
The plane was about to take off, and Ji Yuzhi gestured for her to accept it.
Zhen Tian felt uneasy holding the money.
It was fine to accept money from my parents when I was a child, but now that I'm all grown up, it feels weird to still take money from them.
I returned to S City and stayed for only a few days before the New Year arrived again.
Because Ji Yuzhi was suspended from his duties some time ago, the higher-ups intended to make amends for him. Therefore, he still attended the New Year's meeting.
This means that Ji Yuzhi will not be able to go home for the Spring Festival again.
Everyone got used to it, and the Zhen family's gala was held again.
Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuan both came to join in the fun, but there were no peaches this year.
After the Spring Festival, Ye Qingyan's belly grew bigger. It was obvious that she was pregnant.
When Zhen Tian and Yuan Yuan took her back to S City, they were very worried, afraid that she would bump into something.
Huo Qingming was even more worried than they were. As soon as he got off the plane, he stood directly at the exit, though no one knew how he managed to get in.
He protected Ye Qingyan until the crowd dispersed before going out, and then got into the car and drove her away.
Safety is paramount.
After hearing Zhen Tian's words last time, she went back and talked to Huo Qingming, only to find out that his silence on the phone wasn't because he didn't like children, but because he was stunned by such good news.
Knowing the answer, Ye Qingyan naturally stopped making a fuss.
The two agreed to hold the wedding after the baby was born.
However, the date for registering their marriage has been set for Valentine's Day after the new year.
She rushed back this time because the day to get their marriage certificate was approaching.
"How's the company doing?" Ye Qingyan asked from the car, gently stroking her belly.
This is a habit she developed ever since she found out she was pregnant.
"It went very smoothly." Huo Qingming stared at the rearview mirror, glancing at Ye Qingyan every now and then.
"That means they chose hectare security."
"Um."
"Yes!" Ye Qingyan was secretly delighted.
"Um?"
"It's nothing." Ye Qingyan shook her head: "I want to give you a gift after we get married."
Huo Qingming became interested. Just then, the light turned red, and he turned to look at her: "What gift?"
You'll find out then.
She wanted to give him a surprise too.
Huo Qingming was actually starting to look forward to it.
Ji Yuzhi didn't take a single day off. He went home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, stayed for three days, and then rushed back.
Counting the days, Zhen Tian and he hadn't seen each other for almost a month.
She took a taxi to a parking lot to pick up her car, and then drove home.
Ji Yuzhi knew she was coming back today, so he left work early.
It's normal for a young couple who haven't seen each other for a long time to feel a surge of passion.
Having not eaten dinner, Zhen Tian was covered in sweat and panting as she lay on Ji Yuzhi's chest.
"I'm so hungry." Zhen Tian's stomach was rumbling.
"Wait for me." Ji Yuzhi lingered on her forehead for a while before turning over and leaving the house.
Zhen Tian lay sprawled on the bed, her mind blank.
Ji Yuzhi was quick and efficient. The ingredients were all readily available, and it was impossible to make anything complicated in the middle of the night. He simply cooked a bowl of noodles and took it upstairs.
Zhen Tian must have been really hungry; she finished the whole bowl, not even the soup was left.
She rubbed her tummy and lay back down contentedly.
Ji Yuzhi pushed the plate aside.
"Aren't you going to take it down?" Zhen Tian snuggled into his arms.
"Tomorrow then." Ji Yuzhi hugged her, his desire surging again.
Zhen Tian was shy, but she didn't refuse.
Ji Yuzhi's palm tentatively reached down, but he suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Zhen Tian blinked.
He pulled his hand out, and under the light of the desk lamp, it was covered in red.
"Ah!" Zhen Tian exclaimed in surprise, "You hurt your hand while cooking!"
She suddenly stood up.
Ji Yuzhi said helplessly, "Silly girl, go take a shower. It's your period."
"Huh? It's me?" Zhen Tian pointed to herself.
"Um."
Zhen Tian scrambled off the bed, and when she turned around, she saw a large bloodstain on the bed sheet.
She exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran to the bathroom.
That's so embarrassing.
Ji Yuzhi sat there sighing, shaking his head with a smile, and resignedly took off the sheets and duvet cover and replaced them with new ones.
Zhen Tian covered her face as she walked out.
Ji Yuzhi pulled her down onto the bed and tried to distract her by saying, "I've arranged to take wedding photos. What are your thoughts?"
"Wedding photos?" Zhen Tian poked her head out from under the covers.
"Um."
"Should we shoot here or outside?"
What do you think?
"I didn't mean to, I just saw a lot of people online going to the beach, underwater, forests and stuff like that..."
Zhen Tian is fiddling with her fingers.
"You want me to arrange it for you."
