After a vigorous workout that left him drenched in sweat, Gu Wei timed it perfectly, placing the pre-prepared pigeon-egg diamond ring onto Zhou Wenyi's slender finger at exactly midnight.
He knew this girl wasn't that interested in bags, but she really liked sparkly things.
Therefore, it's a brilliant idea to simply give a diamond ring every year for her birthday. It saves you the trouble of thinking about it and also caters to her preferences.
Happy birthday, my wife.
Zhou Wenyi never expected that her birthday gift this year would be such a large diamond ring, and the design was so unique that it touched her heart. She happily gave it a kiss.
"Thank you, honey, I love it."
Gu Wei gently tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen beside Zhou Wenyi's ear behind her ear. "I'm glad you like it. Do you have any birthday wishes?"
Zhou Wenyi earnestly suggested, "Our little star is so big now, shouldn't we start planning for a second child? My mom was talking about it today."
She and her entire family are especially grateful that their first child took her surname.
Therefore, Zhou Wenyi was eager to have a second child who would take Gu Wei's surname.
As a result, even though her child was almost two years old, Gu Wei remained calm and unhurried.
It's true what they say: the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.
Gu Wei understood Zhou Wenyi's resentful gaze, and immediately chuckled, tapping her nose. "Of course you can. You little ingrate, weren't we worried about your health before?"
Although he was a man, he learned a lot about childbirth after Zhou Wenyi became pregnant.
Ten months of pregnancy may seem simple, but it can cause considerable harm to a woman's body.
If you become pregnant again before you have fully recovered, it will undoubtedly be a disaster and could potentially lead to irreparable consequences.
Zhou Wenyi's face lit up instantly, and she said playfully in a affected tone, "Come on, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower..."
Gu Wei, who was poised to strike, nearly threw out his back because of these sudden words.
He suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, then I'll gladly accept your offer."
The night is still long...
The next day.
First, Song Daming, who had dark circles under his eyes, and Cheng Ranran arrived together.
After that, many more friends came.
Gu Wei, understanding his wife's hard work the previous night, told her to just chat with the children and her girlfriends, while he would take full responsibility for the hospitality and other matters.
Zhou Wenbo, the older brother, also came over to join in the fun.
He drove a low-key yet luxurious new car today, and since losing weight, he's become quite handsome.
Therefore, it attracted a lot of attention as soon as it appeared.
"Brother, you're here."
"David".
After exchanging pleasantries like brothers, the two huddled together and started chatting about business.
Last year, they partnered to acquire a game company with the intention of developing a full-immersion online game.
Given that many Chinese people enjoy farming, the first holographic online game is set up around a modern person who travels through various dynasties to level up, fight monsters, and achieve great things, starting their journey with farming.
The game is now in its early stages and may be released soon.
Whether or not they will make a fortune remains to be seen.
But Gu Wei really liked it, and it fulfilled his dream of playing games.
Actually, he wanted to turn the games in The Three-Body Problem into a full-immersion online game, but there were too many things involved.
Anyway, I have a long life ahead of me, so I'll take it one step at a time.
The barbecue birthday party was a great success.
Everyone ate, drank, and played until very late before the party ended.
Unexpectedly, just as Gu Wei and Zhou Wenyi were preparing to have a second child, Song Daming and Cheng Ranran got pregnant out of wedlock.
The arrival of this child completely disrupted some of the balance.
This also forced Song Daming to make a swift and decisive decision.
The two families quickly sat down together to discuss their marriage.
Unlike Chu Sitong's family, who made exorbitant demands, the Cheng family only asked for a token dowry, keeping everything else simple.
Comparing the two, Song's parents liked and cared for Cheng Ranran more.
Furthermore, they even took the initiative to contribute some money to help them with the down payment for a house in Qingcheng.
Because of severe morning sickness, both families decided to register their marriage first and hold the wedding ceremony after the baby is born.
Therefore, Gu Wei and Zhou Wenyi, as good friends, also attended the family banquet celebrating their marriage registration.
Song Daming sat next to Gu Wei and showed off his newly issued marriage certificate.
Gu Wei found it a little funny, but at the same time, she was genuinely happy for him.
Whatever we've been through, things have finally settled down.
"Daming, treat her well from now on, be a good husband and a good father."
Song Daming said with utmost seriousness, "I know. As long as she doesn't betray me, I will never betray her and will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Gu Wei believed that Song Daming was speaking from the bottom of his heart at this moment, "That's right. You have to be able to distinguish who is the most important person in your life, instead of hurting people for the sake of passersby."
Song Daming nodded. "Don't worry. I was too soft-hearted and foolish before. It will never happen again."
He then changed the subject, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, "We're such good friends, if my wife is carrying a girl, how about we become in-laws? With parents like you, I can rest assured."
Gu Wei paused in his act of picking up food. "You're really thinking far ahead!"
He thought for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "It's not impossible, but the era of arranged marriages from childhood is over. Let's see what the two children want in the future..."
