She knew her face must be very red.
She couldn't help but look at Qin Yang's face, but he remained calm and didn't seem to have the same reaction as her.
Qin Yang gazed at her tenderly, "What's wrong?"
Why aren't you blushing?
Qin Yang paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Maybe it's because I have a thick skin."
Zhou Cailian: "..."
Qin Yang suppressed a laugh. "Alright, go take a shower."
Zhou Cailian took her pajamas to take a shower. There was a wooden bathtub in the bathroom, which was already filled with water. It was hot, so she didn't need much hot water.
Today was indeed quite tiring, but it was also an unforgettable day.
Previously, Zhou Cailian had never imagined that she would one day wear a wedding dress.
Such a grand and romantic wedding was something she had never imagined before.
So this is what it feels like to marry someone you love.
It turns out that it doesn't matter who you marry...
That night, Zhou Cailian finally learned what real intimacy was like.
Life after marriage didn't seem to change much. Zhou Cailian only rested for two days before opening her breakfast shop.
After finishing work, I still went to help out at the restaurant.
More than a month later, she felt nauseous at the smell of cooking oil.
I went to the hospital for a checkup and found out I'm pregnant.
Her morning sickness was so severe that she had no choice but to hand over the shop to Yu Qingxiu.
Yu Qingxiu and Zhou Xiaofen had already completed their apprenticeships, and their courage had been honed, making them much more mature.
Zhou Cailian couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil, and after staying home for more than two months, her morning sickness subsided.
At the end of the year, Qin Xiao and his wife Yan Qingning returned.
Upon learning that Zhou Cailian was pregnant, Yan Qingning was filled with envy.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family chatted in the living room for a while. Zhou Cailian felt sleepy, so she went back to her room first.
I had just finished washing up and was getting ready for bed when there was a knock on my door.
Zhou Cailian guessed it was Yan Qingning because Qin Yang didn't knock before entering.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to sleep?" Yan Qingning smiled a little shyly.
Zhou Cailian wasn't familiar with this sister-in-law; they had only met three times in total: once at the other's wedding, once at her own wedding, and now this time when she and Qin Xiao came back for the New Year.
She stepped aside to invite her inside, saying, "Come in and sit for a while."
"Qin Xiao went to the study with my older brother. I was a little bored, so I came to talk to you for a while." Yan Qingning was really bored and didn't feel comfortable at the Qin family home. She also didn't like being with her parents-in-law, so she had no choice but to come to her sister-in-law, Zhou Cailian.
Zhou Cailian pushed out a stool for her to sit on, saying, "I wasn't used to it when I first married into this family, but it's better now."
Yan Qingning stared at Zhou Cailian's slightly protruding belly, "Sister-in-law, what does it feel like when you're pregnant? Does the baby move around in your belly?"
Zhou Cailian smiled and said, "I don't feel anything special yet. I can only feel the baby moving in my belly in the last couple of days."
This is her first pregnancy, and she's already over four months along. She's been feeling the baby move quite a bit these past couple of days.
"That's wonderful, the baby will be born next year." Yan Qingning's voice was filled with undisguised envy.
Zhou Cailian noticed her envy and asked in confusion, "You and Qin Xiao have been married for so long, aren't you planning to have children?"
Yan Qingning's eyes dimmed, and she forced a smile, "Qin Xiao said he doesn't want to have a child so early..."
Zhou Cailian didn't think much of it, "You're still young, you can have children a couple of years later."
But Yan Qingning felt uneasy; she wanted a child.
After chatting with Zhou Cailian for a while, Yan Qingning noticed that she kept yawning, so she decided not to disturb her any further.
Back in her room, she sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xiao finally pushed open the door and came in.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Qin Xiao asked casually as he closed the door, then went to get his clothes to prepare for a shower.
Yan Qingning stepped forward and hugged him from behind. "Qin Xiao, let me have a baby for you, okay?"
Qin Xiao paused in his action of picking up clothes. "I said, we'll have children in two years."
