When Zhuang Long returned to his room, Xiao Li was already lying down, but she was not asleep. Seeing him return, she looked up at him with a calm gaze. Her expression seemed to be waiting for Zhuang Long to announce the life and death of this child. This made Zhuang Long’s heart ache.
Zhuang Long suddenly blushed at his embarrassing escape.
He walked over slowly and sat down by the bed.
Xiao Li still looked at him quietly and patiently.
“I’ll be a good father, right?” Zhuang Long seemed to be asking Xiao Li, but it was more like he was giving himself a cardiac stimulant.
A charming smile suddenly bloomed on Xiao Li’s expressionless face. She nodded hard and said, “Of course, you will be.”
Zhuang Long pinched Xiao Li’s slender fingers and played with them in his palm. After pinching them for a moment, he brought the hand to his lips. Zhuang Long lowered his head to kiss Xiao Li’s fingers. After kissing them, he said, “Then it seems like we have to think of a different name for our child.”
Xiao Li’s smile became even more charming.
“Okay.”
…
Fang Yusheng ate little but faster.
He put down his knife and fork and drank his fruit juice in boredom, waiting for his lover, children and mother to finish their meal.
He took out his phone and saw many unread messages in the group. Fang Yusheng opened the group chat and scrolled up. When he figured out the whole story, he put down his phone and could not help but sigh softly. “F*ck!”
The other four looked up at Fang Yusheng, who had suddenly cursed.
Lisa was the first to frown. She educated Fang Yusheng. “Yusheng, don’t talk when you eat. Also, don’t swear. That’s what an ill-mannered child would say.” Upon hearing this, Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng looked at each other and silently looked away.
It seemed like they usually had times when they cursed. From the looks of it, they were all ill-mannered children.
After Lisa finished reprimanding him, Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng, “What happened?”
Fang Yusheng said, “Xiao Li is pregnant.”
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned for a moment before she mouthed, “F*ck.”
The couple looked at each other and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I wonder if their baby is a boy or a girl.”
“We’ll know soon.”
“If only Yan Nuo and Yinbing could have a child too…” When Qiao Jiusheng said this, her tone was filled with regret. Fang Yusheng thought of the experimental process Zhuang Long had mentioned and said,” Perhaps we don’t have to wait too long. ”
“I hope so.”
Fang Yusheng had already made an appointment with the hospital for the second aberration checkup. They spent some money and brought it forward to half a month later.
When she got home, Fang Yusheng made a mark on the calendar and set an alarm on his phone, afraid that he would miss the time for the aberration checkup. Qiao Jiusheng was also worried for two days. When she realized that the child was still very energetic and there were no fewer fetal movements, Qiao Jiusheng was relieved.
Nothing would happen to this child!
When Xu Pingfei rushed back from the set, it was already the next day. After Fang Yuqing got off work in the afternoon, she brought Xu Pingfei to visit Liu Yu. Xu Pingfei and Liu Yu had been sisters-in-law for more than twenty years, and they had often criticized each other. They had loved and hated each other for many years. Xu Pingfei still felt terrible when Liu Yu really almost died.
When she reached the hospital and saw the wound on Liu Yu’s neck, Xu Pingfei could not help but cry.
Liu Yu looked at her silently, feeling terrible.
“I’m not dead. Why are you crying?”
Although Liu Yu said that, her heart felt warm.
Xu Pingfei quickly wiped her tears and scolded her, “I’m really angry. You can fight with Fourth Brother, but there’s no need to do such a stupid thing!” At the thought that this woman in front of her had almost gone to see the King of Hell, Xu Pingfei still felt a lingering fear. “Don’t do such a stupid thing again.”
Liu Yu smiled ambiguously and said, “Of course not. I have to live. I still have many things I haven’t done.”
Xu Pingfei felt that there was something wrong with Liu Yu’s condition, but she could not tell what was wrong.
She accompanied Liu Yu in the hospital for a few hours until three in the afternoon. Seeing that Liu Yu was tired, she bade farewell. Just as the mother and daughter walked out of the hospital, Fang Yuqing’s phone rang. It was Lu Lingyu, reminding her not to forget to attend the banquet he organized tonight.
After Lu Lingyu retired from the army, he opened a bodyguard company and specially hired retired soldiers as bodyguards.
Qi Bufan had established a training base. There were many retired soldiers in the base. Lu Lingyu had also recently contacted Qi Bufan a few times, wanting to hire a few professional retired soldiers from their base to train the bodyguards.
Tonight’s cocktail party was to celebrate the official establishment of the company.
Logically speaking, Fang Yuqing should attend.
Fang Yuqing could not reject him, so she agreed. “I understand.”
She hung up the phone and saw Xu Pingfei looking at her with a gossipy gaze. She could not help but roll her eyes. “What are you looking at?” Fang Yuqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. How did she realize that her mother had the potential to be a paparazzi?
Xu Pingfei asked, “It’s Lingyu, right?”
Fang Yuqing nodded. There was nothing to hide, so she admitted it boldly.
Xu Pingfei asked again, “What do you think of Lingyu?”
“He’s a good friend.” Seeing Xu Pingfei’s eyes roll, Fang Yuqing knew that she was overthinking. She immediately dispelled Xu Pingfei’s fantasy and said, “It’s impossible between us.”
“Why? Do you mind his reputation?”
Fang Yuqing sneered. “What right do I have to mind his reputation?”
“Then why?”
After a moment of silence, Fang Yuqing replied to Xu Pingfei in a profound manner, “I don’t feel anything.”
Xu Pingfei’s expression changed and she scolded her, “Bullsh*t! What feeling?”
“It’s just like how a man can be hard when he likes a woman. When I saw Lu Wu…” Fang Yuqing blinked slyly and said to Xu Pingfei, “I didn’t have that impulse.”
Xu Pingfei was stunned. When she regained her senses, she saw that Fang Yuqing had already gotten into her car.
How dare she fool her!
“Wretched girl, aren’t you going to send me back?”
Fang Yuqing reached out of the car window and waved at her. “Bye, Mom. Brother will come and pick you up.” She retracted her hand and started the accelerator. The heartless Fang Yuqing left just like that.
Xu Pingfei stomped her feet on the spot. Considering her status as an actress, she could only endure her anger.
Fang Yuqing returned to the company and stayed until 5: 30 pm before entering the changing room. She changed into a gown, removed the light makeup on her face, put on her evening makeup, and carried her bag to the banquet. Lu Lingyu booked a hall on the second floor of the Cairo Hotel. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he walked out of the hall.
Just as Fang Yuqing received a call, it was picked up.
“I’m here.”
