"All of a sudden?" He glanced at her already bulging belly. Speaking of ‘all of a sudden’, it was because she had gotten pregnant. They were considered late to only be getting married now!Qin Lianyi also could not help smiling as she thought of this. She asked, "What made you suddenly think of marriage..."Halfway through her sentence, she seemed to recall something and said, "Did Yiran tell you about what happened when I went to the washroom today? You don't have to worry about it. Those two women were only blabbing about me when they said I’m a baby-making machine and you don’t even like me. I didn't take what they said to heart. You don't have to marry me in a hurry just for that."Bai Tingxin froze. "What's the matter? Did someone say that about you today?""Huh? You didn’t know about it?" Qin Lianyi froze.Bai Tingxin's face was cold. Although Ling Yiran had told him someone was gossiping about Lianyi behind her back, he did not expect them to be so mean.However, the woman
'Make up for it? He wants to make up for it? How many things is he planning on buying for the proposal?' Qin Lianyi was speechless.Once they arrived at the Qin family’s house, Qin Lianyi unbuckled the seat belt to get down but saw Bai Tingxin still sitting in his seat, seemingly in a daze."What's the matter? Aren’t you getting out?" she asked.As if he just suddenly came back to his senses, he looked at her, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm getting out."However, when Bai Tingxin went upstairs with Qin Lianyi while carrying so many things, Qin Lianyi suddenly looked at him and said, "What's the matter? Is it hot? Your forehead is sweating."She said as she held a tissue and slightly stood on her tiptoes to wipe off his sweat."I'm nervous," he answered."Nervous?" A look of surprise flashed through her eyes. "Why are you nervous? Haven’t you been seeing my parents very often these days? Besides, I'm sure they won't object when you tell them about us getting a marriage licens
Qin Lianyi urgently said, "Dad, the glass is full. It's spilling!"Mr. Qin then came to his senses and quickly stopped.The married couple looked at Bai Tingxin and asked in unison, "You're getting married?"Bai Tingxin answered affirmatively, "Yes, but Lianyi is too far along in her pregnancy. We can't have her be tired out by the wedding, so I plan to get the wedding license first. We'll have the wedding after the baby is born. I wonder if you're okay with that, Aunt and Uncle?""Yes, yes, of course!" Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin said with a smile. Their daughter's marriage had always been their biggest concern.The married couple had wondered when to make a subtle mention of marriage, but Bai Tingxin just said it right away."Do you have any requirements? I’ll do whatever I can.""All we want is for you to treat Lianyi well," said Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.Bai Tingxin gave a slight nod when he heard that. "Okay, I'll play it by ear then."They had a peaceful dinner. Once it was over, B
However, she did not have to pack anything to spend the night at Bai Tingxin's mansion. She had her clothes and daily necessities there. After returning to Shen City, she alternated between staying at his mansion and her home!Bai Tingxin drove while Qin Lianyi sat on the passenger seat, looking at the man beside her.His chiseled face and delicate features made him look more defined from the side.His collarbones were exposed beneath his graceful neck.'Am I... really going to marry him? After all these years of loving and hurting, am I finally marrying him?'We'll form a family together, raise our children together, and grow old together. Our hair will turn gray, and we’ll have many children and grandchildren.’She gently stroked her bulging belly at the thought. 'It won't be long before our baby is born. Whose looks will they take after?‘Will they look like him or me?'If they take after his looks, they’ll be beautiful whether they're a boy or a girl!'She could not help c
"Why are you in a daze?" Bai Tingxin asked as he approached Qin Lianyi."I just think you... look like the male leads in idol dramas," muttered Qin Lianyi.Bai Tingxin smiled and raised his hand to gently stroke her cheek. "I'm your own male lead. I only want you to concentrate on me."His gaze was like a dense web that she did not want to break free from.Once they reached the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of them took their queue number and sat on chairs to wait. Qin Lianyi took a photo of the interior hall of the marriage registry office and sent it to the chat group with Ling Yiran, Zhuo Qianyun, and herself.Qin Lianyi: [I'm getting my marriage license today.]Moments later, Ling Yiran replied in the WeChat group.Ling Yiran: [??? You're registering with Bai Tingxin today?]Qin Lianyi: [Yeah, we're waiting in line right now!]Ling Yiran: [That's a happy occasion. Let's set a date to celebrate it!]Zhuo Qianyun: [Lianyi, congratulations! I hope you and Bai Tingxin will gr
Zhuo Qianyun pressed her lips together. She knew what her mother was worried about, but... "Mom, I’ll save enough money for my retirement. Lil Yan is also a filial kid. He'll take care of me when I'm old, so you have nothing to worry about.""Qianyun, tell me the truth. Do you... still have feelings for Ye Wenming? Is he the reason you can't move on?" asked Mrs. Zhuo.Zhuo Qianyun was silent. Ye Wenming was like an indelible mark to her. Though she had no feelings for Ye Wenming now, she still could not forget him.After all, he was such a major part of her life. He was even the one who crushed her ability to love someone!She could not bring herself to start a new relationship. Once bitten, twice shy!"Mom, it's true that I can't get over what happened in the past, but I don't love Ye Wenming anymore. I know that better than anyone. Running a small business like this and being with you and Lil Yan is the life I want!"Mrs. Zhuo sighed and said nothing else....At the marriage
"Okay," replied Bai Tingxin.In the Qin family's living room, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin looked at the exquisite letter Bai Tingxin's subordinate had brought over. After opening it, they could only see a list inside.The contents on the list stunned the two honest and ordinary citizens, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.The bride price was hundreds of millions of dollars, and there were all sorts of gold items, mansions..."What are these?""They're the betrothal gifts Mr. Bai prepared. If there's anything else you'd like to add, feel free to tell us," they said respectfully."Add?" Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin looked at each other. There were already so many things that they had nothing to add!There were so many that they were at a loss....The next day, Ling Yiran accompanied Zhuo Qianyun and Lil Yan to the hospital to collect the hearing aid.While Lil Yan was putting on and adjusting the hearing aid, Ling Yiran saw that Zhuo Qianyun was a little distracted as they waited outside."Sis Zhuo, wha
Guo Nianan said politely, "Hello, Aunt Ling. Hello, Aunt Zhuo." She looked so adorable with her cutesy voice and face.However, the little one's voice sounded a little nasally, so Ling Yiran said, "Does Little Nianan have a cold?""Yeah, she has a small cold, so I brought her to the hospital for a check-up. What about you?" said Guo Xinli."Lil Yan lost his hearing aid. We came to the hospital today to collect his new one," said Ling Yiran.Zhuo Qianyun saw that Little Nianan's hair was a little messy, so she crouched down and said to the little one, "Why don't I fix your hair? Otherwise, it's going to be all over the place."Nianan blinked and nodded. She was not afraid of strangers.Therefore, Zhuo Qianyun took a small comb from her bag and combed little Nianan's hair.Ling Yiran looked at Guo Xinli and said, "Congratulations on getting married. Your child is so big now. It's a pity that I didn't get to attend your wedding dinner back then."Guo Xinli was one of the few peopl
