Capítulo 998: Chapter 593: Professional Groomsman, Plotting Against Huo?
Two days before the wedding, a cold wind swept through, causing the temperature in all of Beijing to plumt several degrees, but it couldn’t dissipate the joy brought by the wedding.
At this ti, Tang Wan was still more than half a month away from her due date, and her belly was astonishingly large, so naturally, no one expected her to busy herself with anything. The day before the wedding, she and Ruan ngxi stayed at the Shen Family ho, accompanying Shen Shuci on her last night before getting married.
The elder Shens especially called Shen Shuci into the room and talked for a long ti, mainly expressing how reluctant they were to part with her and reminding her to be filial to the Huo Family’s parents once she was in their household.
When Shen Shuci returned to the room, Tang Wan and Ruan ngxi had already finished their baths and were sitting on the bed, flipping through her wedding album with Huo Qinqi.
“You cried?” Tang Wan frowned, keeping her eyes on her.
“I didn’t cry, I just talked to mom and dad a bit, can’t stop worrying about them.” Shen Shuci wasn’t soone who easily got sentintal, but maybe it was the atmosphere, she just felt a bit sour in her heart.
The main thing was that she worried about the elders.
“I’ve noticed that ever since you got pregnant, you’ve beco especially emotional,” Ruan ngxi said, propping her chin with her hand while watching her.
She used to be quite a calm person, but since getting pregnant, she beca like an ordinary young girl, occasionally showing a bit of temper, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Shen Shuci’s morning sickness was severe, and despite her efforts to control it, it inevitably affected the mood of the people around her.
Sotis, even her tone on the phone with Huo Qinqi wasn’t very pleasant, but once she cald down and wanted to apologize, he would just ask, “Do you feel a bit better now?”
“Whenever you feel uncomfortable, co to at any ti.”
Huo Qinqi wasn’t idle at the base either and had read a lot of related books, which ntioned that a pregnant person’s emotions could fluctuate greatly and even suggested they might beco depressed.
He hoped that Shen Shuci would vent to him, which was better than holding it all in; that was too likely to lead to trouble.
Listening to Ruan ngxi’s words, Shen Shuci just smiled, “I’ve indeed beco more emotional since getting pregnant.”
“Wanwan has a Little Darling in her belly, but yours is simply a Little Troublemaker. If it’s a girl, then she’ll definitely be soone no one can control,” Ruan ngxi teased.
“What if it’s really a girl, and she takes after Grandpa Huo? What are you going to do then?”
“They say daughters take after their fathers.”
…
Shen Shuci smiled without saying a word.
The three of them lay on the bed, chatting for a while. Soon, Tang Wan received a call from Jiang Jinsang, and Shen Shuci also got a ssage from Huo Qinqi, leaving Ruan ngxi feeling alone…
Surviving in the cracks as a single person, it’s truly tiring.
Everyone around her was throwing around love.
It was a relief when her phone finally vibrated; she didn’t even check the caller ID before answering, “Hello?”
“Xiaoruan, is everything ready for the club’s pre-opening tomorrow?” It was a call from Jiang Chengsi.
“Everything’s sorted. I’ll swing by in the morning before the wedding to make sure everything’s set. Don’t worry, there won’t be any issues.”
“All safety precautions and ergency personnel need to be on standby at all tis.”
“Everything’s been arranged.”
…
After hanging up the call, Shen Shuci turned her head to look at her, “It’s almost ten, and Fourth Master is calling you to discuss work?”
“I’m used to it.” Ever since working with Jiang Chengsi, Ruan ngxi’s biological clock was all over the place, but she adjusted by treating it as if her boss lived abroad and there was a ti difference, “Auntie, can I borrow your computer to check my work one more ti?”
“Feel free to use it.”
While Ruan ngxi was working, Tang Wan and Shen Shuci quietly chatted about pregnancy and childbirth.
“Hey, Wanwan…” Ruan ngxi suddenly thought of sothing and turned to Tang Wan, “Since you got pregnant, have you been intimate with Fifth Master?”
Tang Wan blushed a bit at the ears as she saw Ruan ngxi winking at her, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it said that during early pregnancy and just before childbirth you shouldn’t, but at other tis if you’re careful, it’s usually fine?”
“Is there anything you don’t know?” Tang Wan said exasperatedly, “With so much theoretical knowledge, if you’re so capable, why don’t you try driving this car yourself?”
“Theory is the foundation of practice,” Ruan ngxi explained.
“Theory without practice is just an empty frawork.”
Shen Shuci was originally just quietly listening on the side, but when the two of them got into the discussion, Tang Wan suddenly ca out with:
“You just know how to argue for the sake of it. Have you ever held a boy’s hand?”
Ruan ngxi suddenly raised her voice, blurting out, “Who says I haven’t? I’ve even kissed one!”
At this mont, there ca a knock from outside the door. There were only a few people in the house, so it had to be one of the Shen elders. Ruan ngxi, being closest to the door, hurried to open it, and there stood Old Mr. Shen.
