The barbecue party ended around nine o'clock.
Ni Sitian and Xu Tingchuan saw them off.
As Ni Tianzhen was getting into Liang Xiujie's car, Ni Sitian whispered a few words of advice to her about things to be careful about during early pregnancy.
Liang Xiujie started the car, and Ni Tianzhen and Liang Kaile sat in the back seat.
"Mom, is your tummy upset?" Liang Kaile looked up at her with concern.
"Much better." Ni Tianzhen patted Liang Kaile's head. She truly loved Xiaole, and even if she really had her own child, it wouldn't diminish her love for Xiaole.
Liang Xiujie glanced at the mother and son in the rearview mirror. Compared to him and her, his son seemed to be more like a family with her.
The car was driven back to the community garage, and Xiao Le was already asleep.
Liang Xiujie carried his son, with Ni Tianzhen following behind. The three of them returned home together.
After settling Xiao Le in the room, Liang Xiujie went back to the master bedroom, loosened his tie, and took off his shirt.
Before Ni Tianzhen was fully awake, she took off her earrings and necklace. Everything was as usual. After doing their own things, they went to bed.
If they don't do "that" at night, they basically each occupy one side of the bed, because the bed is big enough that they won't touch each other unless they deliberately try.
Ni Tianzhen had something on her mind. She didn't read any books or design drafts today and went to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She turned to her side with her back to him, not wanting him to know that she had something on her mind.
Liang Xiujie flipped through the files, then put them down after a while, turning his head to look at the woman beside him.
She had been sleeping in that side position for a long time, and he always felt that she wasn't asleep.
"Are you asleep?" Liang Xiujie asked in a low voice.
Aside from doing that, they rarely talked in bed. Ni Tianzhen was hesitating whether to pretend to be asleep or respond to him when he heard him say, "Director Chen called today and said that Xiao Le has passed the entrance exam."
Ni Tianzhen forgot to pretend to be asleep, turned over, and said happily, "Then it's worth celebrating."
Liang Xiujie smiled slightly, stared at her face, and said nothing.
Ni Tianzhen then remembered that he had asked her if she was asleep, but she hadn't responded. Now she was so energetic, it was really...
Not knowing if he would misunderstand that she was deliberately ignoring him, she explained, "I was just thinking about something. There's a client at work who's causing me some trouble."
Liang Xiujie nodded, but didn't press the matter further. They didn't inquire about each other's work; it seemed to be an unspoken understanding from the beginning. His work was something he couldn't discuss publicly, and she rarely mentioned hers either.
"Are you free this Saturday? Let's take Xiaole out for the pizza he wants to eat, to celebrate his admission to Yuying High School." Ni Tianzhen steered the conversation back to Liang Kaile.
It's tough being a kid these days. Even getting into primary school from kindergarten requires an exam, especially for top-tier primary schools where the competition is fierce.
"Okay." Liang Xiujie smiled when he saw that she was even more enthusiastic than he, as her father.
After the conversation ended, both sides fell silent again.
Ni Tianzhen didn't know what else to say and felt the atmosphere was very awkward.
Liang Xiujie seemed to sense her embarrassment and said, "Go to sleep."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and after he turned off the bedside lamp, she turned her back to him with a clear conscience.
Liang Xiujie looked at the back of his wife's head in the darkness and smiled helplessly.
There's nothing wrong with this kind of life, but if it continues like this, it will inevitably become boring. Perhaps he should take the initiative and try to get closer to them.
