"Dad, if you have nothing to do, just ask my Aunt Zhou to scold you." Xiao Jin glared at Deng Jianyan.
"You're all in cahoots, I'm not saying anything." Deng Jianyan's arrogant streak kicked in again.
Zhou Yue chuckled at the sight. Although this man always had a serious and stern face in public, he was quite the player in private, with a variety of tricks up his sleeve. She wondered where he got all these cunning ideas. Her thoughts drifted away, and she immediately blushed. When she saw Qin Xiaoyu looking at her with a half-smile, she quickly lowered her head.
"Beautiful, so gorgeous! What woman wouldn't want one like this?" Director Feng said enviously.
"How about I divorce your uncle and get married again? You can make me one," Commander Wang pleaded with Zhou Yue, and everyone laughed.
"You're talking nonsense. You're almost a daughter-in-law, and you still want to get married? How can you be so shameless!" Zhou Xing's mother teased her.
“My daughter-in-law’s wedding dress isn’t this pretty. I won’t stand for it. Xiaoyue, you can’t be biased.” Commander Wang started arguing again.
“Fengqin is beautiful, so the dress is just the icing on the cake. She shouldn’t steal the bride’s thunder. Unlike me, I’m ugly, so I’m only relying on the dress to make me look good,” Zhou Yue said with a smile.
“Aunt Zhou isn’t ugly at all, is she, Dad?” Xiao Jin quickly said.
"Ugly freak." Deng Jianyan was still angry about what had just happened.
"Dad!" Xiao Jin pinched him angrily.
"Oh, so protective of your Aunt Zhou, huh?" Director Feng felt a pang of envy seeing how supportive the stepdaughter was.
"Why didn't you protect her?" Xiao Jin asked sharply, leaving Director Feng feeling awkward.
“Our Xiaojin is going to be a fashion designer in the future.” Zhou Xing’s mother now finds everything about this girl pleasing to the eye.
"No, I want to be Aunt Zhou's model." Xiao Jin stood up straight and struck a pose. She was originally tall and thin, but after taking dance classes for a while, although she was a latecomer, her diligence had helped her regain her figure. It was just that her face was only half-grown, and she didn't look beautiful at first glance; her eyebrows, eyes, and nose all looked a bit out of place. In Zhou Yue's words, "Don't worry, it'll grow out of place; it'll be a high-class face."
"Lisheng, are you going to be a fashion designer?" When Qin Xiaoyu was at home, Lisheng didn't dare to touch wedding dresses, but now he's a skilled worker, and he can apply rhinestones quickly and well.
"I don't want to. I want to go to West Point Military Academy with Hanhan."
“Yes, let’s go together,” Hanhan replied.
"Men just like fighting and killing, it's boring," the young woman said seriously, picking up a diamond.
"Old Wang, let me tell you, just looking at these kids makes my heart ache. I also want a house full of children and grandchildren, surrounded by my knees, that's true family happiness. Am I getting old?" Director Feng kept muttering to himself as he left the Zhou family's house.
"Anyway, I'm almost there. Fengqin and the others said they shouldn't have children yet, and I won't argue with that. We'll see when they're really in love, and they might just have a baby." Commander Wang said smugly.
"Are you trying to upset me again? Let me tell you, if things get really heated, I'll make Jingtian marry Xiaoyu."
"Don't you dare! Sister, don't be impulsive. Don't let your son ruin things for others. Xiaoyu isn't Jingtian's type. Our Xiaoyu is perfectly fine." In his anxiety, Commander Wang said some harsh words, but Director Feng could only listen. It was his own son's fault for being so disappointing.
The two of them laughed and joked as they arrived at the entrance of the military region. Suddenly, Commander Wang thought of something and leaned close to Director Feng's ear, saying, "Have you noticed? Isn't Zhou Yue making a move?"
"Oh, you noticed too? I was wondering the same thing. Wasn't Zhou Yue infertile?" Director Feng, being an experienced woman himself, had a keen eye. Zhou Yue vomited a little while eating; it was probably morning sickness.
"If Zhou Yue really gives birth, it will be a slap in the face for the Chen family. They were the ones who said Zhou Yue couldn't have children, and now they're the ones who have to raise someone else's child while wearing a green hat. Seeing Zhou Yue living a wonderful life and having a big, healthy son next year, I'll be overjoyed just thinking about it." Commander Wang watched Zhou Yue grow up and naturally sided with her, which made Director Feng laugh as well.
These two are always talking nonsense. Somehow, the news of Zhou Yue's premarital pregnancy got out. What should have been a shameful affair was somehow brought up in the context of the Chen family's affairs, and Zhou Yue became the heroine proving her innocence. No one said anything bad about it; instead, everyone said the child came at just the right time.
Zhou Yue's morning sickness subsided in a few days, but being her first pregnancy, she was still a bit delicate. Deng Jianyan, despite being a father of two and a doctor, was even more delicate than Zhou Yue this time.
Since their relationship was already public knowledge in the Zhou family, he simply moved in with his child.
He had to help Zhou Yue downstairs, and he would wait for her outside the bathroom door. If there was a little water on the floor, he would run to get a mop and wipe it carefully.
Zhou Xing's mother and Qin Xiaoyu looked helpless.
The children have gotten used to it, because each of them has been called in for a talk by Deng Jianyan, who told them not to run around at home and not to get involved in Zhou Yue's affairs.
“You’re letting the kids have opinions like this; it’s too biased,” Zhou Yue complained behind his back.
“They won’t have any ill intentions. Because they accept you from the bottom of their hearts, the child in your belly is their family. How could they hurt their family?” Deng Jianyan couldn’t help but press his ear to Zhou Yue’s belly to listen when no one was around.
"What are you listening to? It's not even as big as a potato yet!" Zhou Yue was annoyed by him.
"I can't even listen to you! I can't even touch you now, I'm so wronged!" Deng Jianyan took the opportunity to hug Zhou Yue, and slowly moved his head upwards.
Zhou Yue felt like she was on fire. Because she was pregnant and couldn't move around too much, she angrily grabbed Deng Jianyan's hair and wouldn't let go.
"Silly girl, just wait until the baby is born, and I'll see how I deal with you," Deng Jianyan whispered, biting her earlobe. Zhou Yue buried her head in the pillow, blushing, and let him do as he pleased.
Zhou Yue's health condition did not affect her work. However, Deng Jianyan was very reluctant to let her go, so Qin Xiaoyu could only let her rest at home.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoqing made rapid progress and filled a vacancy. Zhou Yue simply stayed home to work, draw, and rest during her pregnancy.
When Commander Wang saw Zhou Yue's wedding dress last time, he felt indignant on behalf of Tang Fengqin. He went to Riyue Clothing and insisted on adding two more pounds of rhinestones to his daughter-in-law's wedding dress.
"Just tell me how much you want. As long as it looks beautiful, I'll do anything. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for everyone, isn't it?" Commander Wang sat in the high-end customization room and refused to leave.
This is a newly established department by Qin Xiaoyu. Now there are more customers demanding high-end orders, and the goods at Shanghai No. 1 Department Store cannot be sloppy. Either don't do it, or do it and make sure it's high-quality, otherwise it's a waste of such a good place. Now we need to set up a separate department to deal with this.
"Alright, Aunt Wang, you go back first. She is your daughter-in-law, but she is also my niece! How could I mistreat her?" Qin Xiaoyu finally managed to coax Commander Wang out.
