The three of them could only find a random spot in the lobby to sit down. After ordering, Yan Xiao yawned from exhaustion.
"Let’s go ho and sleep after eating," Han Xi suggested.
"Yeah, I’m dead tired. I’ll go wash my face first."
With that, Yan Xiao got up and went to the restroom. He turned on the tap, splashed so cold water on his face, and was speechless seeing his heavy dark circles in the mirror.
When he returned to the table, the food had already been served. Han Xi took out her phone, snapped a photo of the table, and sent it to Lu Jinghan, telling him she was having BBQ with Manman and Yan Xiao.
In less than a minute, Lu Jinghan replied on WeChat: [Eat more... and I miss you.]
Manman sneakily glanced at Han Xi’s phone screen and deliberately stretched her voice with a few coughs, "Can you two stop spreading the PDA? Missing each other after a short while, might as well stick together every day."
Han Xi turned off the phone, smiled, and picked up a piece of grilled at, putting it in her mouth, "You’re the one choosing to see the PDA. If you don’t want it, just don’t peek."
"I’m looking openly..."
"Excuses, obviously you were peeking," Yan Xiao retorted casually.
Manman gave his arm a hard pinch, "Your mouth’s asking for it. Would it kill you to keep quiet? Always opposing , I wonder if our stars are misaligned. I’ve never seen you talk this way to Xiao Xi and Sister Chu Ci."
"Go easy, lady. It hurts."
Yan Xiao paused, grinning, and said, "Sister Xiao Xi and Sister Chu Ci never act as unreliable as you do."
"You’re just asking for a beating," Manman said, increasing her grip, making Yan Xiao wince in pain.
Han Xi chuckled and patted Manman’s shoulder, "Alright, let’s eat quickly. If soone snaps a photo, tomorrow’s headline will surely be about you and Yan Xiao flirting."
Hearing this, Manman quickly let go, feeling exhausted dining with such a popular young star, constantly wary of caras, "Next ti, if there’s no private room, I’m not eating with you."
Yan Xiao looked at his reddened arm and nodded helplessly.
After eating, Manman dropped Yan Xiao ho and thought about having Han Xi accompany her shopping. However, Han Xi said she was a bit tired and wanted to go ho to sleep.
A pregnant woman’s needs co first, so Manman had to drive Han Xi back as well.
Back ho, Han Xi went upstairs, changed clothes, and lay on the bed, falling asleep imdiately.
......
Chu Ci stayed in the hospital for seven days. After confirming with tests that all her indicators were normal, the doctor allowed her to be discharged.
Journalists were still waiting at the hospital entrance. Fu Bin and Chu Ci didn’t want Little Nianci to be exposed and didn’t want too much of their private life scrutinized online.
Fu Bin called the driver to wait in the parking lot. Zhang Yawen carefully cradled the child in her arms, "Chu Ci, can you walk by yourself? Let Fu Bin carry you or get a wheelchair."
"No need, Auntie, I can walk,"
Chu Ci replied with a smile. Since they hadn’t yet registered their marriage, she still addressed Zhang Yawen as Auntie.
Fu Bin supported Chu Ci as they left the ward, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Once you’re done with postpartum confinent, let’s go to the civil registry and get our certificates. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease."
"I’ve already had your child, where could I run?"
"Then call your husband."
Chu Ci turned her head to look at Fu Bin, her clear eyes gleaming with waves. She tiptoed and whispered "husband" into Fu Bin’s ear.
