Chapter 138 My Idea
Li Hongyan pouted: "Okay, I know it's impossible, I was just saying."
"But you can't be absent from my wedding. We were best friends in school, and I'll be really sad if you don't come."
Jiang Jianni looked at her speechlessly: "Be normal, please be normal."
"I'm a woman, you really don't need to act cute towards me."
Li Hongyan was a little embarrassed by what she said: "Hehe, I've gotten used to it over the years."
She was the youngest child in her family and the only girl.
She was spoiled from a young age and naturally loves to act cute.
After dating Zhou Heping, Old Zhou finally managed to win over a girl. He was so happy about her coquettishness that he didn't stop her from complaining.
This has led to Li Hongyan, who used to be more restrained in front of strangers, unconsciously acting coquettishly even when facing friends.
It's all Lao Zhou's fault!
She moved closer to Jiang Jiani and whispered, "May I touch your belly?"
Jiang Jianni gave her a strange look: "Didn't you already touch it?"
Li Hongyan: "That's different..."
Jiang Jianni: "...How is it different? It's just that the child has grown a bit."
Li Hongyan said anxiously, "Oh, it's just different."
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Jiang Jianni quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, you can touch it, you can touch it, don't rush, don't rush."
Li Hongyan chuckled and carefully placed her hand on Jiang Jiani's stomach.
Not long after, she cried out in surprise, "Ahhh, she kicked me! She kicked me!"
"Jiani, did you feel that? She kicked me."
Jiang Jianni: "...Nonsense, she kicked me first before she kicked you, okay?"
The little one in her belly is surprisingly lively for some reason.
Since I turned six months old, the baby has been moving very frequently.
Jiang Jiani was naturally happy that her baby was so lively.
This means the child is healthy, energetic, and full of vitality.
But it's really uncomfortable to be kicked in the stomach every day.
Sometimes, when she kicks too hard, she wonders if the little one might kick her belly open and burst out.
Seriously, it's so painful.
Li Hongyan couldn't understand Jiang Jiani's heartache. She touched Jiang's belly with a dreamy look on her face and said, "Jiani, do you think my child will be as lively and cute as your child?"
!!
Jiang Jianni looked shocked and blurted out, "You're pregnant?"
Li Hongyan's face immediately turned bright red: "Ah, ahhh, this, this..."
Jiang Jianni was speechless with frustration: "No, you and Zhou Heping got married because you were pregnant?"
Li Hongyan's eyes darted around, and she chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem, well, not really..."
Jiang Jianni snorted: "Lift up your clothes and let me touch your belly."
Li Hongyan immediately clutched her stomach and backed away, saying, "Oh dear, don't do that!"
Jiang Jianni put on a fierce look: "Then you'd better tell me the truth, or don't even think about me attending your wedding."
Li Hongyan immediately made a face: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk."
"Actually, we didn't get married because of pregnancy. Zhou Heping and I got our marriage certificate before the Lunar New Year, the day before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed for the holiday."
Now it was Jiang Jianni's turn to be shocked: "Really? Didn't you say you were dating? How did it turn into marriage??"
Goodness.
This speed isn't much slower than hers and Lu Xiangyang's.
She and Lu Xiangyang met and got married on the same day.
Li Hongyan and Zhou Heping met on the same day and got married the next day because the government offices would be closed for the holiday on the third day.
After figuring out the time, Jiang Jianni didn't know what to say.
Are all soldiers this fast?
Lu Xiangyang was like this, and so was Zhou Heping.
I've heard that many soldiers are like this.
They wrote letters to each other, looked at each other's photos, then submitted a marriage application, went back to their hometown, and got married.
Dating is out of the question, and I don't have time for it.
Isn't it truly unusual for Lu Xiangnan and Tang Tian to develop feelings for each other over time in the military?
They didn't even develop feelings for each other over time.
Because Tang Tian herself said that she and Lu Erge felt that they were both good to each other, and since they were going to get married anyway, they might as well make do.
Li Hongyan chuckled awkwardly, then said seriously, "Even if you get a marriage certificate, if you don't have a wedding ceremony, it doesn't count as being married."
"This was something I agreed upon when my husband and I went to get our marriage certificate."
"After we get our marriage certificate, we won't tell our families yet. We'll talk for a while first. If it doesn't work out, we can quietly get a divorce. It won't affect either of us."
Jiang Jianni was speechless: "No, you just believe what he says?"
I never thought Li Hongyan was that stupid.
Li Hongyan looked humiliated and insulted: "What are you talking about? How can it be that he said it? I was the one who said it, and he just agreed."
"I'm not the kind of silly girl who believes everything people say."
She's very rational and thoughtful, you know.
Jiang Jiani looked at her speechlessly.
I have absolutely no idea what to say.
Even after Li Hongyan left, she was still questioning the meaning of life.
As soon as Lu Xiangyang returned, she quickly told him about the bizarre thing that had happened between Zhou Heping and Li Hongyan:
"What are they doing?? How can they treat something as important as marriage like this?"
"If it's not working out, then get a divorce. It's not that easy. Whether you have a marital history or not is written on your household registration book, you know."
Unless there are no changes to their household registration.
Lu Xiangyang said calmly, "What's wrong with that? Old Zhou has wanted to get married for a long time. It's normal for him to make a quick and decisive move when he finds a suitable partner. Otherwise, he'll never get married in his life."
Jiang Jianni still found it strange: "Even so, I still find it a bit odd."
To put it bluntly, Zhou Heping is actually a bit love-struck.
All his previous failures stemmed from his attempts to pursue the other person in his own way, which resulted in the pursuit turning into intimidation.
She didn't believe that an old man who was almost thirty years old would suddenly change his ways.
I don't believe that someone with a fixed mindset would actually listen to a girl's wildly imaginative ideas.
If things don't work out after marriage, then get a divorce.
Twenty years from now, such a view might be considered normal, but now, such thinking is not only not radical, but terrifying.
Who gets married with the intention of getting divorced?
Lu Xiangyang couldn't help but awkwardly touch his nose.
Jiang Jiani, who had become somewhat dull due to pregnancy, suddenly became more perceptive for some reason.
She looked Lu Xiangyang up and down carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like there's something off about you?"
Lu Xiangyang surrendered: "Okay, I admit it, I gave Lao Zhou some ideas."
Jiang Jianni's eyes widened slightly: "You gave him advice? What advice did you give him?"
You're a clueless straight man who gets married after just one meeting and has never been in a relationship. What kind of advice can you give someone?
