Based on what Xu Jiayue said, Ni Sitian felt that Han Shizhao did indeed like her.
When someone likes another person, they will cherish even the smallest gift from them.
"But is it enough that he likes you?" Ni Sitian pursed her lips. She didn't understand big principles, but if marriage was about settling, then it was about settling for a lifetime.
"I don't know either. We'll see how it goes. At least he's not annoying, and he's a rare good man in many people's eyes. I'm not at a disadvantage either," Xu Jiayue said with a shrug, appearing relaxed.
Ni Sitian didn't know what to say, after all, Han Shizhao was indeed impeccable. Such a good man, even if she didn't like him now, she might like him in the future.
"But you, it's been two months now. You have to tell your parents the good news when you go in later." Xu Jiayue took Ni Sitian's arm.
Ni Sitian glanced down at her flat stomach and nodded.
The two walked into the house, and it was getting dark. Han Shizhao got up to say goodbye, and Xu Jiayue saw him out.
Xu Haicheng seemed to be in a good mood, praising Han Shizhao to Xu Tingchuan, "Deputy Commander Han has raised his son well. Shizhao is so young but already so mature and steady, leading a regiment of soldiers. It's rare to see such a person."
“He’s really good. We can discuss the wedding date after we meet his family next month.” Jin Rulan rarely spoke to Xu Haicheng, clearly having a very good impression of Han Shizhao.
"Sigh, our little Jiayue is getting married in the blink of an eye." Xu Haicheng said with satisfaction, but also with a touch of nostalgia. "When you brought her here, she was only this tiny."
Jin Rulan glanced at Xu Haicheng. He was well-maintained for his age, but there were still some gray hairs at his temples. Twenty-two years had passed since that incident, yet she still remembered the feeling of coldness from head to toe when she entered that hotel room. She had considered letting it go, but she couldn't get over it in her heart; she just couldn't let it go.
She looked away and didn't respond to him.
Xu Haicheng looked embarrassed and turned to Ni Sitian, saying, "The white wine we opened today should be your favorite flavor. Why didn't I see you drink it? Don't be shy here."
Xu Tingchuan reached out and took Ni Sitian's hand, pulling her to sit down beside him. He then said to Xu Haicheng, "She's not being reserved; she just can't drink."
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Haicheng asked with concern.
Ni Sitian felt very warm towards the elders' concern and shook her head: "I'm not feeling unwell."
Seeing that she was too embarrassed to say it herself, Xu Tingchuan spoke up for her, saying, "You two are about to be promoted in seniority."
Jin Rulan and Xu Haicheng were both taken aback, looking at Ni Sitian's belly with surprise. Jin Rulan even sat down next to Ni Sitian, took her hand, and asked happily, "When did this happen? How many months pregnant are you?"
"It's been two months," Ni Sitian answered honestly.
Jin Rulan smiled, a rare sight on her face, and asked Ni Sitian about her pregnancy symptoms with concern, also giving her some instructions on what to be careful about.
"This is the perfect time to celebrate!" Xu Haicheng said in high spirits, and asked the butler to bring out his newly collected wines.
Ni Sitian couldn't drink, but watching them celebrate happily made her happy too. She felt it was wonderful that the family was so harmonious and joyful.
Xu Tingchuan had already drunk some wine at dinner, and then drank two more cups. Although he wasn't drunk, his face was a little red, so the two of them decided to stay overnight.
