Liu Yan rested her chin on her hand, watching Jiang Chao's retreating figure as he walked through the door, her thoughts becoming increasingly complicated.
A wedding... is something no girl doesn't dream of.
Be with the one you love most, and receive everyone's blessings.
The wedding dress is really beautiful.
To this day, she still doesn't know how she managed to suppress the urge to show Jiang Chao the selfie when she secretly accompanied Mo Yuqing to try on wedding dresses.
She was already looking forward to her wedding.
I just didn't expect it to come so early, leaving us so caught off guard.
Because of an accident, the two of them are now inexplicably like children who have made a mistake, constantly preparing themselves to report to their parents and wait to be scolded.
They were not prepared for anything.
They haven't even switched roles yet. One second they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and the next they're getting married and becoming parents early next year.
I still feel like a child.
I really wasn't prepared.
All she could do was lighten Jiang Chao's burden.
Liu Yan quietly looked out the window at the bustling traffic on the roadside. The traffic was very dense, and the cars had just started moving as the red light turned green.
People often ride electric bikes across the sidewalk, all with serious faces, as if each of them has something to do.
She let out a long sigh, picked up her phone, and made a call.
"Hey, Mom... have you eaten?"
The window of the black sedan parked on the roadside slowly rolled up, gradually revealing the girl's profile and drowning out all the sounds inside the car...
......
When Jiang Chao arrived home, Jiang Yubo and Zheng Yunying were sitting on the sofa watching TV. The show on TV was "Ming Dynasty 1556," and the young Grand Secretary was cursing, "A courtesan that a merchant has already had his fill... You've almost completely disgraced the Gao family for eighteen generations!"
Comparing that face to Gao Yuliang from the TV series next door, it's just plain hilarious.
Zheng Yunying was engrossed in watching, while Jiang Yubo remained uninterested in anything, glancing up at the screen for a while before looking down at his phone again.
The housekeeper led Jiang Chao to the living room, glanced at everyone somewhat awkwardly, and then quickly walked away to the kitchen to find a new fruit plate.
She's been working here for over ten years, and she reckons this family is likely to start arguing again soon, which would be too awkward if she were there.
I'll just come back later and clean up the broken things.
Hearing the aunt cough before leaving, the two looked up curiously and saw Jiang Chao standing there expressionless.
Jiang Yubo was stunned for a moment, then continued watching TV as if nothing had happened.
"You knew you were coming back?" Zheng Yunying spoke first. Over the years, she had always played the role of mediator at home.
Although it doesn't work very well.
Jiang Chao's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he let out a faint "hmm" before sitting down on the single sofa at the other end.
Zheng Yunying glared at Jiang Yubo, picked up all the melon seeds and fruit in front of him, and sat down next to Jiang Chao with a smile. "Come on, eat, Mom will peel an orange for you."
"You eat it yourself." Jiang Chao shook his head and slowly pushed Zheng Yunying's hand away.
This is clearly his home, but he feels completely alienated from it and has no sense of belonging here.
It's like... he's a guest.
The sudden feeling sent a chill down Jiang Chao's spine, but it quickly disappeared.
He's used to it.
Zheng Yunying placed her hand, which had been pushed away, on his cheek again, her tone becoming very anxious, "How come you've lost so much weight since New Year's Day? Have you been sleeping properly at all? You're almost big enough to be a panda at the zoo!"
Jiang Chao subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yubo across from him, but the other man remained motionless. He could only see the television screen reflected in Jiang Yubo's eyes.
His heart sank, and he said in a deep voice, "I have something to say."
"Then tell me." Zheng Yunying's attention was still on Jiang Chao's haggard face, and her tone became somewhat anxious. "Is there some difficulty at work? Tell me quickly, your father and I will definitely try our best to help you, okay? Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Seeing that Jiang Yubo remained unmoved, Zheng Yunying gritted her teeth fiercely, "No matter how stubborn your old man is, you're still his only son. If he doesn't love you, who else will he love? All the money we've earned in our lives is for you. If things don't go well at work, we'll quit, okay? Be good."
"It's not about work."
What is that?
Jiang Chao took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm getting married."
"......"
After a long silence in the living room, Zheng Yunying finally spoke slowly with a blank expression: "Why so suddenly?"
He just brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents a few months ago, so why is he saying he wants to get married this time?
"Liu Yan is pregnant." Jiang Chao sorted out his thoughts. "I really like her, and I really want this child. I came back this time hoping that you... I hope you can agree to this and attend our wedding."
Zheng Yunying was at a loss for words when Jiang Yubo suddenly said, "I can't afford to lose face like this."
Even though he had anticipated Jiang Yubo's reaction, Jiang Chao was still taken aback when he heard this.
If it were anything else, he could simply give up and leave if he couldn't get through to the conversation.
It's not like he can't survive without leaving home; he hasn't come back much in the past few years anyway.
But not this time.
Liu Yan said she didn't care whether or not to have a wedding, but the loneliness in her eyes was undeniable.
