The two walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing, to the coffee shop. Hei Zi stretched out his arm to remind Gu Shaokai.
"Brother Kai, your wife is here!"
At this shout, Gu Shaokai, who had been focused on the ledger in his hands, slowly raised his head.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately handed the ledger to Hei Zi beside him, instructing him, "Check these data carefully."
Hei Zi didn't dare to delay and quickly took the thick stack of ledgers. However, just as he was about to respond, Gu Shaokai strode towards the door.
"Sister-in-law, welcome! We recently launched a new coffee with a unique flavor. You must try it later," Gu Shaokai said with a smile and a gentle tone.
As he spoke, he subtly reached out and gently pulled Zhong Xinyi into his arms. The movement was natural and fluid, as if they already had a tacit understanding that required no words.
"Okay, then I'll have to savor it properly."
Su Jingjing noticed their subtle interactions and realized that the young couple's married life was sweet and happy.
Zhong Xinyi gently broke free from the man's warm embrace, her gaze fixed intently on his deep and bright eyes, and said softly, "Go ahead and do your work, I want to talk to Sister Jingjing alone for a while." Her voice revealed a hint of firmness and tenderness.
Despite being married to him, Chung Hsin-yi still felt somewhat uncomfortable about displaying overly intimate behavior in public.
After all, she had always been an introverted and shy girl.
Of course, the man also respects her and will never force her to do things she doesn't like.
Before the marriage, she worried that Shaokai might change his mind, but in the months since the marriage, the man has truly kept his vow and has always pampered and loved her.
Even his grandmother praised him highly.
Gu Shaokai naturally understood her thoughts; he knew that Zhong Xinyi was shy and easily embarrassed.
So, he smiled and changed his approach, reaching out to hold Zhong Xinyi's slender hand. At the same time, he turned to look into Su Jing's eyes and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, then I'll trouble you to chat with Xiaoyi for a while longer. I'll go and prepare some delicious food for you."
After saying that, Gu Shaokai affectionately reminded Zhong Xinyi, "Wife, you two have a good chat." He then hooked his finger around hers and turned to leave.
The man's adoring gaze made her blush. Although her heart was filled with sweetness, she remained calm on the surface.
After the two sat down, Su Jingjing looked at Zhong Xinyi with a teasing expression and joked, "How's married life? Tell me about it!" She blinked her curious big eyes, seemingly full of anticipation for the topic.
Uncle Gu and Aunt You have always been very easy to get along with. They are kind and amiable. In such a harmonious and warm family atmosphere, there is no problem with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts.
Upon hearing Su Jingjing's question, Zhong Xinyi smiled slightly, trying to conceal the turmoil in her heart, but a hint of unease still showed in her eyes.
She replied calmly, "Well, it's alright." Her voice was soft and gentle.
However, these three simple words contained her overflowing happiness.
"Shaokai is a good man. Jingjing can tell that he only has eyes for you."
“He really spoils me,” Zhong Xinyi said softly.
Su Jingjing continued to ask, "Is there any movement in your belly?"
Zhong Xinyi was stunned for a moment, then blushed and shook her head, "Jingjing, we've decided to wait a year before having a child."
The waiters brought out desserts and coffee one after another. They all knew that Zhong Xinyi was the boss's wife, so they didn't dare to neglect her at all.
Even before the wedding, Gu Shaokai couldn't wait to introduce Zhong Xinyi to the store's employees, claiming that she would be the boss's wife in the future, which really gave her a strong sense of security.
Su Jingjing took a sip of coffee, then put the cup down and nodded. "That's fine. You're currently in the prime of your careers, so it's okay to have a child a year later."
“I’m worried that my in-laws will have a problem with it. I can tell they really like children.”
They've been married for a while now, and her mother-in-law has never mentioned having children in front of them. She probably wants them to let nature take its course. But if they keep using contraception, wouldn't it be unfair to her parents?
Su Jingjing pondered for a few seconds, then gave a sincere suggestion, "I think you should tell them what you think, and your aunt and uncle will understand."
"Okay, Sister Jingjing, I will."
Chung Hsin-yi also felt that some things would be better said out loud.
"By the way, Jingjing, how are you feeling about the college entrance exam these past two days?" Zhong Xinyi asked with concern.
She continued, "Aren't you nervous?"
Hearing Xinyi's question, Su Jingjing smiled slightly, picked up a spoon, and gently scooped out a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth. She chewed slowly, savoring the sweetness of the cake melting in her mouth.
Then, she put down her spoon and answered softly, "Actually, it's okay. I wasn't particularly nervous. No matter the result, the most important thing is to do my best and not leave any regrets." After saying that, she smiled again, her eyes firm and composed.
"Jingjing, I believe you can pass the exam."
"Then I'll take your kind words."
The two smiled at each other and chatted for almost an hour before parting ways.
A few days later, the children's kindergarten also started its holiday.
So Su Jingjing moved into the old house with them. Several elders in the family took turns taking care of the children, so she didn't have to worry about An'an and Yuanyuan at all.
However, An'an and Yuanyuan have been feeling down these past two days, for no other reason than that they are both at the age where they are losing their baby teeth.
Several teeth have fallen out, causing them to have a slight lisp when they speak.
What saddens Yuanyuan even more is that she can no longer enjoy her favorite candy.
"Mommy, am I not pretty anymore?" Yuanyuan hugged Su Jingjing's neck tightly and asked in a coquettish tone, her little face full of worry, especially when she looked at her missing teeth, she looked particularly sad.
"How could that be? You're still as beautiful as ever! Come on, give Mommy a smile, okay?" Su Jingjing gently comforted her.
"Actually, most children lose their teeth at this age, and they will grow back gradually, so don't worry."
Su Jingjing gently patted their backs. Because of the matter of losing their baby teeth, the two children had lost their appetite.
"Have you noticed that Da Pang and Xiao Yun have also lost their baby teeth?"
"Oh, right."
After hearing what her mother said, An'an suddenly understood.
"So don't worry too much, just avoid sweets during this period."
"Yuanyuan, can you do it?"
She was completely at ease with An'an, but she was worried that Yuanyuan, that clever little devil, would steal food. Her family always spoiled her, and they couldn't resist her as long as she acted cute.
"Mom, I promise I will never eat sweets again."
Yuanyuan quickly covered her mouth; she wanted teeth more than sweets.
Without teeth, she didn't dare to laugh out loud.
