Long Wu said smugly, "Is this surprise big enough? Leng Er! You and Sisi can just wait to drink our wedding wine! Su ng and I have already decided, we’re having the wedding next month. Unlike you two, waiting until after the baby is born! Brother Wu is impatient, haha!"
Ever since he found out he’d be a dad, he hadn’t stopped smiling. He was overjoyed! Finally, he’d have a wife and kids by the warm stove, saving him from secretly envying Leng Er all the ti. Su ng glared at him angrily, "Can’t you just keep your mouth shut?"
He was grinning like a fool. Frankly, she was happy too, but she thought Long Wu was going a bit overboard, especially bringing up Sisi not having a wedding. What was the point?
What if Sisi overthought it?
Long Wu zipped his lips with his fingers, making a zipping motion. "Alright! Shutting up!"
Su ng rolled her eyes at him and ignored him, pulling Li Si aside to chat quietly.
"Sisi! What did you eat back when you just got pregnant?"
Li Si grimaced, "I don’t rember eating much. I just rember throwing up all the ti. Not a very pleasant mory!"
"I hope I won’t be like you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to handle it!" Su ng recalled that Li Si had thrown up so much she’d gotten skinny, which now looked completely different from her current soft, plump complexion.
"You can’t really say. Everyone’s body reacts differently, and every pregnancy is different! When I went for my checkup, I overheard a pregnant woman with her second child say she didn’t throw up at all with her first. She ate a lot every day and slept well!
But the second pregnancy was the total opposite—everything she ate made her throw up, and she didn’t want to eat anything, just wanted to sleep!"
Li Si envied that type of pregnancy with no vomiting, good als, and good sleep. She and her husband dread of having another baby after this one—hopefully a little girl to complete their family.
But this first pregnancy was such an unpleasant mory! Who knows, maybe for the second one things could flip, and no vomiting?
Su ng’s eyes lit up. "That’s really strange. Could it depend on the little baby in the belly? Then Sisi, all that vomiting you did before was your son giving you a hard ti!"
"I hope he turns out to be a quiet and handso young man! If he’s as mischievous as a monkey, I swear I’ll lose my mind!" She was full of anticipation!
Su ng couldn’t help but grin, "Don’t worry, your Leng Er is definitely the ’strict dad’ type. When he glares at your son, I guarantee he’ll behave!"
"I hope so!" Li Si glanced at Leng Mochen, who was chatting with Long Wu. Strict father, loving mother. Maybe!
Leng Mochen took a small sip of red wine and raised an eyebrow, "So your date is set? What about your granny?"
Long Wu leaned over to whisper, "I’m taking the lead on that; no way she can’t be convinced! Plus, now there’s a grandson involved. What excuses can she even make?
Still, Leng Er, as a buddy I’ve got to give you a word of advice. That thing Heizi ntioned a couple days ago—why on earth did you go et Leng Mohao, that punk? Since when did you beco so careless?
What if sothing really had happened? Luckily Sisi saved the day, girl hero style, stepping up when it mattered most. Otherwise, we’d be mourning your departure right now, drinking to your mory instead of brewskis together!"
When Long Wu first heard Heizi ntion this, he couldn’t stop himself from griping about it. But these past couple of days Leng Er had been holed up at ho, claiming he was nursing his injuries and refusing visitors.
When Long Wu called him to talk about it, he didn’t even get to fra his thoughts properly before Leng Er hung up on him, saying he had to tell his son a bedti story—leaving Long Wu utterly annoyed.
Fortunately, Long Wu had his own joyous news lately, otherwise he’d have gone crazy putting up with Leng Er endlessly flaunting his son!
Leng Mochen’s lips twitched; not only did he have to take the fall for others, he had to bear the aftermath of criticism and lecturing. Thinking back on it, it had been pretty exasperating!
Still, for the sake of a bright future, what was a little hardship and fatigue?
The original antagonist had been taken care of, Leng Mohao was now arrested, and finally, Leng Mochen felt like a "liberated farr singing songs of freedom!"
So, he pretended to listen humbly, "People make mistakes, horses stumble. Let’s just leave the past in the past!"
Long Wu spat out his sip of wine, coughing uncontrollably! He hadn’t expected Leng Er to co out with such philosophical words.
"Er, are you okay? Did you take too big of a hit? Look, if you’re sick, you need to get treatnt! Hear ?"
"Get lost!" Leng Mochen snapped, pouring more wine for him aggravatedly. If Long Wu was so happy, then he definitely needed to get thoroughly drunk!
Long Wu was genuinely elated, letting down his guard, and eventually he did drink too much!
Su ng, furious, pinched the soft flesh on his waist with all her might, twisting rcilessly. Long Wu woke up in the middle of the night feeling sober, wondering why his waist hurt so much! Could it be kidney issues? He felt weak but sure he hadn’t done anything bad. Right?
With bleary eyes, he asked Su ng, and she demonstrated the reason for his waist pain herself—clearly!
anwhile, Li Si and Leng Mochen returned ho, chatting about Long Wu and Su ng. They were genuinely happy for them.
They also discussed what, besides monetary gifts, would make aningful wedding presents.
Leng Mochen suddenly raised an eyebrow, "When we got engaged, didn’t Long Wu and Xu Er gift us sothing special? Should we return the favor?"
Li Si imdiately rembered the box of condoms they’d received, laughing mischievously. "Honey! So what special thing should we give them?"
Leng Mochen grinned devilishly, "I think we should give them... a doll!"
"A doll? Is that more special?" Li Si asked, puzzled.
She was actually still thinking about gifting them the sa thing.
"You’re such an innocent little girl! Co, I’ll explain!" Leng Mochen pulled her close and whispered two words in her ear.
Li Si shoved him hard. "You’re awful! But that idea is genius!" She could almost see Long Wu’s tearful expression already.
...
Today was a good day for Wang i because she was one step closer to achieving her dreams!
She and Yin Xian were finally engaged, and just thinking about how she’d soon beco a Yin Family daughter-in-law, Yin Xian’s wife, made her feel like all the past unpleasantness didn’t matter.
She could tolerate it all.
Those unpleasant things included the Yin Family’s indifference to her, especially Yin Xuan’s sarcastic comnts, which had never stopped since their first eting.
If Mrs. Yin was around, she’d just put on a show by saying a few polite words. When she wasn’t there, Yin Xuan’s cold mockery beca even more aggressive.
Wang i still didn’t know why Yin Xuan had it in for her, but thinking of today’s wonderful occasion, she bit her tongue and held it in.
Only a few mbers of the Yin Family attended the engagent ceremony, while the Wang Family had filled twenty tables with guests.
Mrs. Yin took one glance at the people seated and beca even more convinced: the Wang Family wasn’t even at the margins of high society—at best, they were vulgar nouveau riche.
Look at who’s here!
One table in particular was loud and rowdy. Clearly, they were poor relatives from the countryside, visiting the city. But since they were the bride’s family, Mrs. Yin simply flashed a look of disdain without saying a word.
Father Yin also sat with a stiff face, visibly displeased. This was nothing like what Yin Xian had described. Had he not already thrown one engagent banquet and gone through a divorce just a few months ago, he would have made this wedding grand.
But those family matters weren’t worth ntioning anymore. He just hoped the Wang Family was actually good. Now, it seed unlikely.
Yin Qi took Beibei to the restroom, and Yin Xuan imdiately offered to go along. Look at the people who ca! If she’d been seven parts unhappy about Wang i before, now seeing these relatives, it went straight to ten.
She was completely unworthy of her brother! Take that annoying Ye Duowei, at least her family background was decent. Wang i was practically indistinguishable from ordinary commoners.
And look at those people—no class whatsoever! This was an engagent party, yet it was so chaotic and smoky it was suffocating! (To be continued.
