Rong Yan immediately guessed what her best friend was thinking.
She leaned close to Shen Xingzhi's ear and whispered, "Pregnant women often feel insecure, but Yu Wenhao works at Fu Jingsheng's company. Are you still worried that he's lying to you?"
"You actually figured it out." Shen Xingzhi pouted.
"Isn't your question a sign of suspicion? But Yu Wenhao is taciturn, so he probably won't think much of it," Rong Yan said in a low voice.
The restaurant was noisy, and Rong Yan was between Fu Jingsheng and Shen Xingzhi, but the man still heard the video conversation.
He sent Yu Wenhao a message: "Hurry up, we'll eat while we wait for you."
"This is an order."
Yu Wenhao was thinking of telling his boss not to wait for him and to go home as soon as he was done. He had only typed half of the message when he saw another one from his boss, so he deleted it and replied with "Okay."
“Let’s eat slowly and wait for Yu Wenhao,” Fu Jingsheng said, putting down his phone. “I’ve been really busy lately, it’s my fault. Maybe I should drink a penalty shot first.”
"Why blame you? Overtime is normal in IT." After hearing what Fu Jingsheng said, Shen Xingzhi dispelled her suspicions about Yu Wenhao.
If something happens to Yu Wenhao, Fu Jingsheng would never help to keep it a secret.
“I gave him orders to come over by eight o’clock, regardless of whether he can finish or not,” Fu Jingsheng said.
Rong Yan raised an eyebrow at her husband, praising him for being so capable.
Ye Jianming sat opposite him and clicked his tongue: "You two are just showing off your love. You're both being eyed, aren't you? You can't stand not eating a meal together. I'll be getting a girlfriend soon too."
As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone exclaimed "Ah!" in unison.
Shen Xingzhi was the first to ask, "Is it the one we went fishing with last time?"
"What's going on with Ye Jianming? You didn't give me a clear answer when I asked you last time," Rong Yan added.
Fu Jingsheng was much calmer than the two ladies: "It's normal to have a partner at this age."
Fu Jingsheng seemed to have known about Ye Jianming's matter beforehand.
Rong Yan glanced at the man: "You don't know something and are keeping it from me, do you?"
“How could I possibly have the information before you?” the man explained.
“He doesn’t know, nobody knows.” Ye Jianming suppressed the corners of his mouth that were turned up. “Rong Yan, you’ll see her tomorrow.”
Rong Yan suddenly realized: "Could it be the new receptionist we hired today?"
Ye Jianming nodded and said, "Smart."
"Wow, they've all become employees!" Shen Xingzhi exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s easier to understand if they stay by your side,” Ye Jianming joked.
"Don't you guys think Ye Jianming has changed? It's been a long time since we've heard him joke like this." Ever since his sister passed away, Ye Jianming had always been listless when it came to matters of the heart, but he was completely different now.
"I'd like to say first that I strongly support this," Rong Yan said, raising her hand.
"I have no objection." Shen Xingzhi and Fu Jingsheng said in unison. It's not their business, let Ye Jianming do whatever he wants.
Then everyone started gossiping about what the place was like, and Ye Jianming said that they would see it tomorrow.
The group chatted for a while and barely ate anything. When Yu Wenhao arrived, the dishes on the table were still untouched.
The man parked his car and ran upstairs, panting as he entered the private room.
"Why are you running away?" Shen Xingzhi said reproachfully while fanning her husband. "We're all waiting for you."
Yu Wenhao took off his coat: "I was just afraid you'd have to wait too long. I'm sorry, everyone."
"Please sit down," Shen Xingzhi said, pulling out a chair.
Yu Wenhao was unaware of Ye Jianming's situation. By the time he arrived, the topic had already changed.
Ye Jianming asked Fu Jingsheng if he was deliberately making things difficult for Yu Wenhao.
We chatted until 10 o'clock before heading back from the hot pot restaurant.
Yu Wenhao brought the computer back; he'll be working overtime tonight.
Shen Xingzhi took a shower after getting home and lay down on the bed. Her back ached, but seeing her husband's busy figure, she didn't say anything for fear of worrying him.
——
Fu Jingchen's home.
Zhou Luo prepared a candlelight dinner.
She sprayed some perfume in the living room while waiting for Fu Jingchen to return.
As soon as it was time to leave work, the man would collect the documents from his desk and leave on time.
Zhou Luo spent some time with me in the office in the afternoon before leaving to meet up with a friend.
Although the woman looked much better than last night, Fu Jingchen was still worried.
Zhou Luo looked at the time, imagining how surprised Fu Jingchen would be when he got home and saw all this, and whether he would hug her and spin her around.
Today is the day she learned that her child had come into her life, a day worth commemorating.
At six o'clock, the door lock clicked.
The woman stood up upon hearing the sound.
When Fu Jingchen's face appeared in front of her, Zhou Luo hugged him and said, "Husband, you're back."
"What's wrong?" Fu Jingchen was taken aback by his fiancée's overly enthusiastic attitude.
Zhou Luo held the man's hand: "I missed you. I've made dinner, honey. Wash your hands and come eat."
As soon as Fu Jingchen opened the door, he smelled the aroma of food. Zhou Luo looked very happy. Had she encountered something good while playing outside in the afternoon?
He went to the kitchen to wash his hands and stood by the dining table: "There are even candles."
After saying that, Zhou Luo lit the candle and then turned off the light.
"Could it be some kind of anniversary today that I forgot because I've been so busy?" Fu Jingchen couldn't think of any other reason for such a ceremonial occasion besides an anniversary.
"Yes, let's make today our anniversary." Zhou Luo rested her chin on her hand. "Honey, when should we get married?"
"Isn't it supposed to be spring? The weather's warmer, and it'll be nice for taking pictures."
"It might have to be done earlier."
"What?" After Fu Jingchen and Zhou Luo got engaged, he hoped to get married as soon as possible, but Zhou Luo had to wait until next year.
“Didn’t you want to get married this year? I agree.” Zhou Luo changed her mind.
"Really?" The man stood up excitedly. "It's October now, and we'll get married in December. We have two months to prepare. Luo Luo, you're not kidding, are you?"
Zhou Luo held the man's hand tightly: "No, there's something else I need to tell you."
The woman took out an ultrasound report from under the placemat.
"You're pregnant?" Fu Jingchen asked, looking at the summary on the form. "I'm going to be a dad? Luo Luo, I've been thinking about it all morning. I've been vomiting so much, could it be that I'm pregnant? I hope so, but I don't dare to say it, afraid you don't want to be pregnant right now."
Fu Jingchen's words reassured Zhou Luo. Just as Zhao Rong had said, her worries were unnecessary. From the man's expression, she could tell that he wanted to be a father.
"It must be fate. God wants us to get married soon, Jingchen. I thought you weren't ready."
The two embraced and shared their innermost thoughts.
They sat on the balcony in the evening.
Looking at the starry sky, Zhou Luo told Fu Jingchen about her most unbearable past.
Only at this moment did she completely give herself to him.
From then on, there were no more secrets between the two.
Fu Jingchen tenderly kissed his fiancée's forehead.
——
Heavy rain fell in the northwest.
Rainwater pelted the ground, splashing mud everywhere. Rong Bing leaned against the window, a sudden panic gripping her.
She pressed her hand to her chest; was something bad about to happen?
