Lu Nanchen, sitting by the side, was experiencing for the first time the spectacle of watching Yu Ting work right in front of him. She looked captivating in the boss’s chair - her fair complexion was highlighted against the black chair, her not-so-large eyes slightly upturned at the corners, and her full, rosy lips lightly smiling.
She was beautiful and charming.
After Yu Ting finished her calculation, she noticed Lu Nanchen was staring at her. Her overbearing presence tapered off, and she tilted her head to ask, "What’s up?"
"Nothing," Lu Nanchen responded with a light smile, "Do you have any work left? What time are you thinking of heading home?"
"No work left, I stayed in the office for a few days before my business trip, got a lot done. Right now there’s just the final episode of "Dreaming Twenty-first Century" to record next week; we can head home after that," Yu Ting explained.
"Okay."
Song Zhan, whose desk was piled a half a meter high with unfinished paperwork: ? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The duo hung around the office for a while longer and then departed around one or two in the afternoon.
Certainly, times had changed; they’d be a family of three soon, with lots to prepare - a study, guest room, game room, home cinema, and so on. With this in mind, Yu Ting purchased a new villa, choosing to avoid properties with swimming pools due to safety concerns. They settled on a minimalist European style villa, with an area of 180 square meters, located quite far from the city center, featuring an underground parking facility, excellent environment, a lot of greenery, and fresh air.
They sold off Lu Nanchen’s apartment from the smaller complex, with the casual gesture costing more than twenty million.
For the first time, Lu Nanchen wasn’t surprised or resistant to Yu Ting’s high-spending behavior; in fact, he was quite happy.
After all, they still had to prepare a room for their child, who would need to sleep alone when he reaches a certain age.
When their new house was ready, Yu Ting walked around the place a few times to familiarize herself with the surroundings.
Lu Nanchen, on the other hand, went back to their old apartment to pack up essentials and all of Yu Ting’s clothing to bring to the new house, deciding to get rid of the old miscellaneous items and replace them with new ones.
After settling the main bedroom, they moved on to Yu Ting’s walk-in closet. Lu Nanchen arranged the clothes, shoes, and bags one-by-one; having done all that, he still found time to set up a nursery...
Referring to pictures they’d found online and in books over the past few days, Lu Nanchen ran between the villa and the furniture store to start purchasing infant products.
First, it was the crib, followed by soft mats for the floor, and a bunch of unopened toys and dolls.
All the items Lu Nanchen bought were pink.
While Yu Ting was downstairs drinking fruit tea, Lu Nanchen was upstairs, busy arranging these things.
Towards evening, there was a knock at the door. Recognition flashed across Yu Ting’s face as she stood to answer it. Dressed in a neatly ironed suit, Zuo Fugui stood at the door with his top two buttons undone; a few creases could be seen on his shirt inside. He looked a tad flamboyant, both in appearance and taste.
He was carrying two bags filled with various imported goods, including milk, whole grain products, and a basket of fruits.
He’d bought everything exactly as suggested online.
"Hello, sister-in-law," Zuo Fugui greeted.
"Ah...how come you’re here? You didn’t have to bring anything," Yu Ting said, surprised, but then she smiled lightly and stepped aside to let him through.
As Zuo Fugui walked in, smiling, he said, "That wouldn’t be right! You have to eat well during pregnancy. These are just some temporary things I bought in a hurry. There are more things being air-shipped; I’ll have them delivered to you when they arrive."
Wasn’t he happy that his brother’s wife was pregnant?
Of course, he was! He was thrilled. In the beginning, among the three of them, he was the one most worried about Lu Nanchen, thinking he’d be alone until his old age.
But things were better now, Lu was about to become a father.
