So Duan Ye started to act spoiled: "Fine, sitting here is fine too."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
The house was filled with laughter and joy. Even Luo Qingyuan couldn't help but smile slightly, which left Duan Ye somewhat stunned.
It wasn't until almost the end that Liang Mo looked at Duan Jiancheng and asked, "Grandpa, is there still no news from Renji?"
Liang Mo didn't want to put her family in a difficult position, but the only person in the family who could contact her husband was her grandfather. Even though she was the leader of the Chinese intelligence organization, she still couldn't get any information.
She didn't dare to investigate easily, and even now, she doesn't know whether Duan Renji knows she's pregnant.
After the New Year, it will soon be time for her to go to the hospital to give birth.
Although she trusted the doctor's skills, she still really wanted her husband to be with her during this time.
Duan Jiancheng sighed, then shook his head: "There's no news from Grandpa either."
The old man didn't tell Liang Mo that Duan Renji had gone abroad on a mission. In any case, no news is actually the best news.
"However, your father-in-law will go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year."
Upon hearing this, Liang Mo smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Then I'm going to sleep now."
As she spoke, Liang Mo propped herself up on the sofa, protecting her stomach as she stood up.
Luo Qingyuan quickly stood up and helped her up, saying, "Sister-in-law, let me take you back to your room."
Liang Mo nodded, his expression slightly forlorn.
Luo Qingyuan helped Liang Mo into the house.
The atmosphere in the living room wasn't as pleasant as it had been before.
Duan Ye: "Grandpa, can't even my eldest brother come back for the New Year? If my eldest brother can't come back, what about my second brother?"
Duan Jiancheng: "Your eldest brother is tied up with official business, how could he possibly come home for the New Year so easily? Besides, with the heavy snow falling now, flights to many cities have been grounded. As for your second brother, we haven't heard from him for years, and Grandpa doesn't know anything about him either..."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Duan Jiancheng: "Only your eldest uncle knew that Liang Mo was about to give birth, so he took a special leave to come back this year. Liang Mo's parents will also go to their hometown this year to celebrate the New Year with us."
Duan Sheng: "There are only two days left until Lunar New Year's Eve. I was thinking, why don't we have lunch tomorrow and then drive back home?"
Ding Yifen: "I have no problem with it. It's better to go back early so that the traffic jam won't get worse as the night goes on."
Duan Sheng looked at Duan Ze and Duan Ye: "Where are you two brothers?"
Duan Ze and Shen Niannian held hands, and Duan Ze said, "I'll follow your arrangements."
Duan Ye: "That's good. It'll be better if we can look out for each other while we're walking together. But I need to take Qingyuan back to the Luo family for dinner tomorrow morning to let them know."
Duan Sheng: "Are you coming back for lunch?"
Duan Ye: "Let's eat over there. We'll come back together after we finish eating."
Duan Sheng: "Okay, it's settled then."
Duan Jiancheng was the first to stand up: "That's good. Go back early. I'm not comfortable leaving your grandma alone at home."
After saying that, Duan Jiancheng also returned to his bedroom.
Later, everyone gradually went back home.
Duan Ye turned off the stove and waited quietly on the sofa.
At this moment, Luo Qingyuan was chatting with Liang Mo.
Luo Qingyuan: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. My brother is just too busy with work. Otherwise, he would definitely have come back."
Liang Mo nodded: "How could I not know? We've actually been married for almost four years, and I can count the number of times we've met on one hand. But there's nothing I can do about it; your brother and I both have very special jobs."
"I'm used to it, it's just..."
Liang Mo touched her bulging belly, feeling somewhat sad: "It's just that at times like this, it's inevitable that I miss him a little."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and lay down beside Liang Mo, gently reaching out to touch his stomach. Suddenly, she felt a throbbing in her palm and exclaimed in surprise, "He moved..."
Liang Mo nodded with a smile: "Yes, she's almost due, she'll start moving around."
Luo Qingyuan looked at Liang Mo: "Sister-in-law, you don't seem to have much trouble turning over in your sleep at night, do you?"
Liang Mo: "Yes, a little, but I can move around slowly by myself."
Luo Qingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll sleep with you tonight. With me here, I can help out."
Luo Qingyuan never imagined that she and Liang Mo, who were initially at odds with each other, would now be sleeping in the same bed.
Liang Mo suddenly laughed, and then said, "Would Xiao Ye be willing?"
Luo Qingyuan: "I'll go talk to him now."
After saying that, Luo Qingyuan left directly, and Liang Mo shook his head helplessly.
Duan Ye was still waiting in the living room. When he saw Luo Qingyuan come out, he immediately went over to her: "You're out. I just wanted to tell you that Mom and Dad are planning to go back to their hometown tomorrow at noon. So I was thinking of going to the Luo family's house to have a meal with your brother and the others before leaving. What do you think?"
Luo Qingyuan: "Okay, let's go find my brother and sister-in-law in the time it takes to eat a meal."
"I guess my mom doesn't want to see me right now."
Duan Ye: "Okay, whatever you say."
After saying that, Duan Ye pulled Luo Qingyuan and prepared to go upstairs, but Luo Qingyuan said, "I'll sleep downstairs with Sister-in-law Liang Mo tonight."
Duan Ye: "Huh?!"
Luo Qingyuan smiled and reached out to rub his head: "Good boy, your sister-in-law is in her late pregnancy. If there's no one by her side, she'll have to get up by herself to get anything at night. With me here, at least I can help out a little."
Duan Ye looked at her pitifully: "You didn't do it for more than one night, did you?"
Luo Qingyuan: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, why are you arguing about this?"
Duan Ye was extremely reluctant to be alone in the empty room. After all, he was used to sleeping with his sweet and soft wife every day, but he also knew that Liang Mo couldn't do without someone by her side.
So Duan Ye nodded: "Alright, another day of being alone in an empty room."
Luo Qingyuan smiled helplessly: "What about those people we arrested at the wedding? If we're going back to our hometown tomorrow, shouldn't we try to pry something out of them?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Ye's expression changed: "No rush."
"Let them spend the New Year in detention."
"As for other things, we'll talk about them after the New Year."
After saying that, Duan Ye's expression softened again: "Neither my brother nor I really want anyone to disturb our family reunion."
"Besides, there are several new members in the family this year, shouldn't we have a proper get-together?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
"Okay, whatever you say."
"I'm going back to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too."
After saying that, Luo Qingyuan turned to leave, but Duan Ye pulled her back.
"So heartless? Aren't you going to offer some perks?"
Luo Qingyuan looked left and right to make sure no one was home before smiling, tiptoeing, wrapping her arms around his neck, and offering her red lips.
Duan Ye held the back of her head with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist, deepening the kiss.
