After finishing his business, Li Yunhao took Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao home.
Xue Qi was overjoyed to see Ye Zhaozhao and immediately hugged her.
"Master, I miss you so much."
Ye Zhaozhao let her hug her, and when she felt that she had gained weight, Ye Zhaozhao knew that she was pregnant.
Li Yunhao and Gu Yunduan went to the kitchen to cook.
She left the two of them outside to chat while Ye Zhaozhao examined her.
Finding that the baby was fine, Ye Zhaozhao wasn't too worried, since Xue Qi herself was an obstetrician.
How many months pregnant are you?
“It’s only been three months. During this time, Li Yunhao has been going out to do business, while I’ve been staying at home.”
Xue Qi couldn't hide her smile as she spoke, and Ye Zhaozhao knew she was very happy.
The two of them had so much to talk about as soon as they met.
Gu Yunduan and Li Yunhao, two grown men, actually made dumplings, and surprisingly, they tasted pretty good.
After finishing their meal, Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao went home.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. When Gu Yunduan returned from training in the morning, she brought back three large packages.
Ye Zhaozhao was shocked when she saw the three packages.
Upon opening them, I found one letter from the research institute and another from Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
The last one was sent by the publisher. The package contained mooncakes, and the rest were some pastries and canned fruit.
"Honey, Chief Liang wants us to come over for dinner tonight."
"good."
Ye Zhaozhao thought that Chief Liang usually took good care of Gu Yunduan, and since others had already invited her, she decided to accept the invitation.
Of course she was going, and she immediately prepared some things to bring with her when she went.
She was preparing her things when she heard someone knocking on the door. Gu Yunduan opened the door.
Upon seeing the person outside, they realized that the newcomer was the commander of the military region.
He heard that Ye Zhaozhao had saved his mother, so he came here today specifically to express his gratitude.
Ye Zhaozhao never expected that the person she casually saved would be his mother.
"You're welcome. It was just a small favor."
Despite saying that, the commander still put down what he had brought.
Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan did not refuse, and it was clear that the commander genuinely wanted to thank them.
If you don't accept the gift, it might make others overthink things, and that's what Gu Yunduan said.
The new commander is a workaholic; he works 124 hours a day, except for eating and sleeping.
He spent the rest of his time in the military region, and his mother and sister came to see him because they were worried about him.
As a result, he suddenly fell ill that day. Fortunately, he met Ye Zhaozhao, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
After seeing the commander off, the two set off for Chief Liang's house to see them.
Chief Liang's wife warmly invited the two of them to come in and sit down. Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao had just sat down when Liang Xingqiao came out.
"Comrade Ye, welcome to our home."
"Thanks."
Looking at his impulsive granddaughter, Chief Liang looked on with doting eyes.
When will she be able to be like Comrade Ye? Chief Liang's wife knew they were coming, so she prepared a table full of dishes.
The group had just sat down and hadn't even started eating when they heard someone coming from outside the door.
Chief Liang went to open the door, and a woman walked in with a young man.
"My dear in-law, what brings you here?"
"I've come here for only one thing, and that is to break off the engagement with your Xingqiao."
"We'll talk about this later. You all go back first."
Chief Liang thought that since there were guests at home, he would send them back first.
We'll talk about it later, but to everyone's surprise, the woman refused to do it after hearing that.
"I've brought all the engagement favors today, this engagement must be called off!"
Liang Xingqiao didn't say a word. Ye Zhaozhao noticed that the young man and the woman were dressed very plainly.
Liang Xingqiao is the granddaughter of a high-ranking official. Shouldn't ordinary people fawn over her?
How come they're the ones who want to break off the engagement? Look at Chief Liang's silent expression.
Ye Zhaozhao wondered if this was Liang Xingqiao's fault.
The woman realized that Chief Liang wasn't giving them a definite answer, and thought this wouldn't do.
Her son has already found a girlfriend and they're getting married next month, so this engagement has to be called off.
"Chief Liang, it's not that we insist on breaking off the engagement, it's that there's something wrong with your Xingqiao."
My son has been dating her for five years, a full five years! And she won't even let my son hold her hand.
Although people are conservative these days, if you've been dating for five years, holding hands is still okay.
Liang Xingqiao didn't know what was going on either, although he said he was a good person.
The two were classmates and knew each other well, but if she were to marry him...
For some reason, Liang Xingqiao felt inexplicably repulsed.
“My son wants to marry her, but she’s not willing. My son is already 25 this year, and we absolutely can’t delay any longer.”
The woman already knew she was dating the granddaughter of a high-ranking official.
I was so happy I wanted to tell the whole village dog, but then I found out.
This leader's granddaughter not only doesn't know how to take care of people, but she's also not very considerate towards them.
She originally thought her son could also benefit from the leader's good fortune, but who knew her son is still just a lowly worker.
His son was also willing to break off the engagement, unlike Liang Xingqiao who didn't want him to get involved with her.
Even a celestial being is no match for Liang Xingqiao.
"I'm willing to break off the engagement, Grandpa, please grant my request."
"good."
Since his own granddaughter had said so, Chief Liang had no choice but to agree.
The matter of annuling the engagement was quickly settled, and the woman left happily with her son.
"Mom, is it okay if we just call off the engagement like this?"
