A free life, a career of one's own, joyful travels, a perfect marriage, adorable children...
An Nuannuan silently set down the soup bowl in her hand and took out an album she had prepared earlier from her bag and handed it to her.
"This is..."
Yao Mingyue took it, the album wasn't large, but flipping to the first page, Yao Mingyue was stunned.
These were oil paintings, even more real than photos. The first page featured a mountain very familiar.
Laojun Mountain...
In the image, the familiar Golden Light Peak, Laojun Temple, and the people taking photos together in the golden sunlight of the morning.
However, in the image, the group of people has beco three.
Xu Musen stands in the middle, always with a sunny yet slightly cheeky smile.
An Nuannuan is on the right, clad in a long pale floral dress, her gentle cheeks bathed in sunlight, so pure and beautiful.
On the left, Yao Mingyue's outfit is ever-changing, her long black hair flows like a waterfall, and her almond-shaped eyes always carry a hint of cunning and liveliness.
The second picture is of them on a grassland, backs to cattle and green grass...
The third, white snow-covered mountains, dazzling auroras...
The fourth, endless deserts, caravans of cals...
The fourth also shows an endless ocean, a relaxing sunny island...
As each page is turned, Yao Mingyue rembers, these are all places Xu Musen and An Nuannuan have traveled together before.
Exactly identical to the photos they posted on social dia.
The only difference is, in these paintings where originally only two people were in the picture, now they have beco three.
The pages of the album turn one by one, stopping at the last page.
In the image is the familiar school entrance.
Zheng City Fourth Middle School, standing at the school gate, they are all wearing the blue and white school uniforms, at the crowded school entrance.
The three people closely leaning together, An Nuannuan lightly pulling on Xu Musen's sleeve, gently linking arms with him.
Yao Mingyue, bold and carefree, one arm casually draped over Xu Musen's shoulder, the other hand making a V sign in front of her eyes, smiling brightly.
The reserved and restrained youth alongside uninhibited exuberance.
Displayed vividly at this mont.
As if this scene marked a perfect beginning and ending for the story.
Tears slid down Yao Mingyue's cheeks, her greatest regrets were fulfilled in these paintings.
How could this not be walking through mountains and waters together?
"Nuannuan, thank you..."
Yao Mingyue's voice choked with emotion, yet her eyes shone with light, as if they truly had visited many places together.
An Nuannuan helped wipe away her tears, her tone gentle, "Actually, there's sothing I want to tell you myself."
As she spoke, An Nuannuan took out a report from her bag and handed it to her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel※fire
Yao Mingyue took the report, opened the first page, and was stunned.
"Ultrasound... embryo implantation..."
"This is..."
Yao Mingyue looked up, her gaze imdiately shifted to An Nuannuan's belly.
"I'm pregnant."
An Nuannuan gently caressed her flat little belly with a tender smile, "I only found out a few days ago, counting the days, it should be about a month now."
Yao Mingyue opened her eyes wide, carefully looking at the report, and then at An Nuannuan's belly, after a mont she was a bit at a loss for words, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
It's been a month, which ans during the few days she spent alone with Xu Musen, An Nuannuan already knew she was pregnant, yet still...
Yao Mingyue felt a sudden rush of guilt, her hands and feet at a loss.
"Now we don't need to say anymore, even if there's bla, bla the useless grandfather of the baby."
An Nuannuan chuckled, but her tone carried not a hint of resentnt.
Yao Mingyue was stunned, she reached out wanting to touch An Nuannuan's belly but withdrew in hesitation.
"You won't feel anything now, at least three months before showing."
An Nuannuan, seeing her cautious deanor, took the initiative to place her hand on her flat belly.
Yao Mingyue touched her flat belly, completely unable to feel that a small life was already growing within.
"Life... is truly amazing..."
Yao Mingyue was more excited than a certain useless father.
The baby... this was the lifelong regret between her and Xu Musen.
"You... haven't told him yet?"
"Not yet, my parents already know," An Nuannuan shook her head, with a smiling curve on her lips, "He's the last to know."
Yao Mingyue ca back to her senses, smiling knowingly, "Not only a useless man, but a useless dad... looks like from here on, you have more leverage over him."
The father, the last to know he's going to be a dad.
Even taking another woman away for ti alone...
These incidents, one by one, probably an Xu Musen won't have much of a ho status for the rest of his life.
"Perfect, you can play along with in a scene, give this unqualified dad a lesson..." An Nuannuan seed to think of so mischievous prank.
"Sure!" Yao Mingyue imdiately agreed.
They exchanged a glance, both revealing mischievous smiles.
Indeed, those who are liked may share similar traits.
At this mont, Xu Musen, washing fruit, sneezed three tis in succession.
At the mont, Mother Xu stood by his side, asking this and that, appearing hesitant, her hands moving back and forth.
"Mom, what's up with you, like you've got Parkinson's or sothing."
