Lu Yunqi's face turned ashen. He stared incredulously at Yu Yao's big belly, as if Yu Yao's pregnancy was a betrayal of him. He was about to walk up to Yu Yao to confront her when Mu Hehe grabbed his arm.
"Yunqi, you've come to the wrong place. Our location is over there."
When she mentioned the word "over there," Mu Hehe whispered in his ear, "You don't want the job in the publicity department anymore, but don't forget why we came here."
Lu Yunqi thought of something, suppressed his anger, and sat down at another table with Mu Hehe.
However, his gaze was intentionally or unintentionally drawn to Yu Yao.
After Lu Ze noticed this, he blocked Lu Yunqi's view with a cold face, and glanced at Lu Yunqi with his sharp eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Yunqi quickly put on a smile and mouthed to Lu Ze, "Hello, Uncle."
Lu Ze ignored her and asked Yu Yao softly, "Yao, would you like some water?"
Yu Yao was a little thirsty and nodded, "Just a little."
Lu Ze took out a military water bottle from his cloth bag, unscrewed the cap, and held it to her lips.
Yu Yao took several sips from his hand, and only when her throat felt less dry did she push the kettle away.
Lu Ze screwed the lid back on, put the kettle back into the cloth bag, took out a snack bag from the bag, and started peeling walnuts for Yu Yao.
Lu Yunqi and Mu Hehe witnessed the sweet interaction between the two, and felt different emotions.
Mu Hehe was surprised that even though Yu Yao had cheated on her, Lu Ze was still so attentive to her. Or was it that Lu Ze didn't know that he couldn't get a woman pregnant?
That might really be true.
After all, in his previous life, Lu Ze's impotence was discovered by the doctor who examined him later. It was for this reason that Grandpa Lu and Hu Lingyu stopped urging him to get married.
Based on the timeline, Lu Ze is very likely still unaware.
Her gaze lingered between Yu Yao's protruding belly and Lu Ze.
Although Lu Ze wasn't home when Wang Xiu spread the rumors last time, he must have heard about them. No one can ignore such a thing; once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout.
All she had to do was offer a kind reminder, and she trusted that Lu Ze would find the answers himself.
By then, Yu Yao's affair will definitely be exposed.
Although Fang Qiaoqiao and Wu Huaiqing disliked Lu Yunqi and Mu Hehe's uninvited arrival, it was their wedding day, and they didn't want to make things unpleasant.
If the two of them are sensible and don't cause any trouble, Fang Qiaoqiao and Wu Huaiqing plan to turn a blind eye.
But if the two of them are trying to cause trouble for Yu Yao, then sorry, they will definitely have someone kick them out.
People from Haixing Food Factory have arrived.
Tao Xueying, Aunt Liu, and the workers in Fang Qiaoqiao's workshop.
"Qiaoqiao, congratulations on your marriage to Director Wu! May you live a long and happy life together. This is just a small token of our appreciation." Aunt Liu, now the foreman of the new workshop, led the factory staff in handing out red envelopes.
Fang Qiaoqiao took the red envelope and handed it to Wu Huaiqing, saying, "You're too kind. Please come in and sit down. Ayao is here."
Tao Xueying was extremely envious when she saw the red dress Fang Qiaoqiao was wearing. "Qiaoqiao, your wedding dress is so beautiful, it's hard to look away. I've never seen anything like it before, it's so beautiful."
Fang Qiaoqiao glanced in Yu Yao's direction, her face full of a happy smile, "This dress was designed for me by A Yao. There are no other dresses like it anywhere else. It's the only one I'm wearing."
Aunt Liu looked her over carefully. "No wonder it suits you so well. It turns out that Squad Leader Yu specially designed it for the bride."
Fang Qiaoqiao and Wu Huaiqing still had to receive other guests, so Tao Xueying and Aunt Liu didn't linger and went into the courtyard after exchanging pleasantries.
The two women looked around as they entered, and then saw Yu Yao waving at them, "Xueying, Aunt Liu, there are still seats here."
The two of them went over, and the others, who weren't very familiar with Yu Yao, just found empty seats and sat down.
Tao Xueying and Aunt Liu greeted Lu Ze first, then surrounded Yu Yao to look at her belly.
"Squad leader, why is your belly so big? Are you about to give birth?" Tao Xueying asked when she saw Yu Yao's belly.
Yu Yao touched her belly and smiled, saying, "It's only seven months now, not so fast. My due date is in December. My belly is big because I'm carrying twins."
Upon hearing this, both of them were happy for Yu Yao.
"Squad leader, you and Commander Lu are so good-looking, your children will definitely be good-looking too."
"Xueying is right. Your belly is round at one end and pointed at the other, you might be carrying twins." Aunt Liu carefully examined Yu Yao's belly and came to this conclusion.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao looked at her belly with gentle and loving eyes: "Thank you for your kind words, Auntie. If it is a boy and a girl, it will make a perfect family. If not, it doesn't matter. Both the baby and the baby are Mommy's precious treasures."
The three of them hadn't seen each other for several months and had a lot to talk about. Lu Ze took a pillow out of his bag and placed it between Yu Yao's waist and the chair so she could lean on it.
The guests arrived one after another, and it was almost noon. All the guests took their seats and waited for the banquet to begin.
For this banquet, the chefs were borrowed by Wu Huaiqing from the shipyard's residential compound and the food factory's canteen. There were a total of five tables, each filled with various dishes.
Once all the dishes were served, everyone took their seats. Wu Huaiqing and Fang Qiaoqiao first thanked everyone for attending their wedding, and then, led by their parents, they went from table to table toasting each other.
After toasting the other four tables, they finally arrived at Yu Yao's table.
Most of the women present drank fruit juice, while the men mostly drank alcohol.
Wu Huaiqing poured Yu Yao a glass of juice, and then he and Fang Qiaoqiao raised their glasses together: "Zhizhi/A Yao, you are our great matchmaker, this glass is for you."
