But recently, there’s been a lot going on.
From Yin Shixiu’s car accident to their minor quarrel, taking exams, discovering she’s pregnant upon returning to the country, and then the Spring Festival preparations...
At the mont, aside from next month’s second-round interview, Su Xiaong can’t focus on anything else.
Actually, Yin Shixiu is also quite busy.
With the complete removal of the Yu Family from the Yin Group, the company’s internal position adjustnts, and a series of changes in equity, Yin Shixiu has a lot on his mind.
But no matter how busy he is, he always rembers.
It was on Su Xiaong’s birthday that he tricked her into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage license.
"Hmm... I’m listening to you, wherever you want to go, we’ll go."
Su Xiaong said with a smile, but she quickly added, "But let’s not go abroad. If we go out for a trip, I’ll definitely be confused during the second-round interview."
Yin Shixiu knew that she had always been quite nervous because of the second-round interview.
He reached out to touch her hair, "Or... we can go out after your interview is over?"
Su Xiaong quickly nodded, "Okay, okay."
Yin Shixiu chuckled and shook his head, "Alright. Let’s sleep."
Su Xiaong yawned again and soon fell asleep.
Yin Shixiu tucked in the quilt, Shuangshuang lay on her back, sleeping very wildly, while Prince Huang slept much more soundly.
He moved Shuangshuang to his other side.
Afraid that if this girl got wild at night, she would kick Su Xiaong, which wouldn’t be good.
In the morning, Yin Shixiu woke up early as usual, despite being disturbed by Shuangshuang and Huanghuang twice during the night.
Xiao ng was still sleeping, Shuangshuang and Huanghuang showed no signs of waking up yet.
Before going out for his morning exercise, Yin Shixiu instructed a servant to keep an eye on the room.
Sure enough, not long after Yin Shixiu left, Shuangshuang and Huanghuang looked like they were about to wake up.
Two maids picked up the two kids, washed their faces, brushed their little teeth, fed them milk, and changed their clothes.
When Xiao ng woke up, it was already past nine.
Yin Shixiu brought up breakfast, "Just in ti, I thought you’d sleep until noon."
Su Xiaong leaned against the headboard, her sleepy eyes looking at Yin Shixiu, feeling extrely tired...
Seeing her eyes open but her mind still asleep, Yin Shixiu couldn’t help but find it amusing. He put down the tray and sat by the bed.
He lifted her chin with his hand, "Eat sothing first before going back to sleep."
Su Xiaong looked at Yin Shixiu and suddenly reached out her hand, acting spoiled, "Hug..."
Yin Shixiu wrapped his arm around her waist, letting her lean on his shoulder.
He bent down and gave her a kiss on her little mouth.
Su Xiaong raised her eyes, "I haven’t brushed my teeth."
"I don’t mind."
Su Xiaong smiled a little, yawned again, lazily leaning against him, "I don’t want to move... just feel so tired..."
"Alright, I’ll serve you."
Su Xiaong giggled twice.
Yin Shixiu took up the porridge, blew on it twice, brought it to her mouth, and picked up so small dishes.
"Braised egg."
Su Xiaong pointed at the five-spice braised egg on the plate.
Yin Shixiu wiped his hands with a wet towel from the plate, peeled the egg, "Make sure to eat the yolk."
Su Xiaong reminded him.
"...Okay."
Yin Shixiu found it amusing seeing her act like a little "Empress Dowager Cixi" at the mont.
"Delicious."
Su Xiaong chewed on a mouthful of egg, looking satisfied.
"Hmm... where are Shuangshuang and Huanghuang?"
"Playing downstairs with Jun Jie and Qi Yang."
"Do you think, if Shuangshuang and Huanghuang knew they were going to have a little brother or sister... how would they react?"
"No idea."
Su Xiaong thought for a bit, "Shuangshuang loves lively things, so she should be very happy, right? As for Prince Huang... it’s hard to guess what that little guy thinks."
"Thinking too much is pointless. Anyway, it’s already a done deal that they’ll have a little brother or sister."
Su Xiaong glanced at Yin Shixiu, furrowed her brows for a mont, then suddenly relaxed, "You’re right! Haha!"
"Eat a few more bites of porridge."
"Okay."
"Knock knock—" A knocking sound was heard.
A servant brought in two large gift boxes and was startled upon seeing Su Xiaong being fed breakfast while leaning against Yin Shixiu.
"What is it?"
Su Xiaong looked at the two large gift boxes and couldn’t help but ask.
"Young Madam, these are the clothes Mr. Yin ordered before the New Year’s, they arrived today, two days late."
"Leave them here, you may go now."
Yin Shixiu didn’t even raise his head, carefully blowing the porridge and then feeding it to Su Xiaong.
The servant sensibly retreated.
As a result, it didn’t take long for the news that Fourth Young Master was feeding Fourth Young Madam breakfast to spread among the household staff.
"If you haven’t seen Fourth Young Master’s gentle look, you’d think he thinks the person laying in his arms is not a person but a fragile, rare treasure!"
"Ah, Fourth Young Madam is really lucky..."
"I’ve never seen Fourth Young Master cater to soone like this..."
"Just hearing you say that makes lt..."
"You haven’t seen it with your own eyes. If you had, you’d be even more envious!"
Though this talk spread among the servants, it would inevitably reach the master’s ears.
To others, it just sounds like the Yin Family’s fourth young master and his wife are deeply in love.
But those with intentions have different thoughts.
Guo Tong couldn’t figure it out; what’s so great about Su Xiaong that a man like Yin Shixiu would go to such lengths for her.
The grand wedding in Bali, so romantic and dreamlike, so grand and luxurious.
Spending a fortune seed to be rely to make Su Xiaong happy.
In terms of looks, figure, and temperant, Guo Tong considered herself to be no less than Su Xiaong.
Yet when she tried to be nice to Yin Shixiu, she couldn’t garner even the slightest favor.
Her heart was filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Su Xiaong ca down slowly during lunch. She was unaware of the morning’s incident of Yin Shixiu feeding her breakfast spreading around.
So when she saw the servants looking at her with admiration, she was bewildered.
"Young Madam, would you like sothing hot to drink? Lunch will be served soon, and I can have the kitchen prepare it."
The servant approached Su Xiaong, earnestly attentive.
These servants had been stationed at the Yin Family Manor for a long ti and had little interaction with Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong.
Working for the Yin Family had great benefits, high wages, and for those like Old Housekeeper Lin who had served them all their life, they were respected, not to ntion no worries in retirent.
So even those working at the manor were diligent and earnest.
If one could be transferred to work at the Yin Family Old Mansion, the benefits would be countless.
The servants only knew bits and pieces about the Yin Family, but it was well known that the eldest young master was not a biological child of the Yin Family elders.
This made them almost certain that soday Yin Shixiu would beco the Family Head of the Yin Family.
And since Yin Shixiu doted on Su Xiaong in every possible way, as servants, naturally they wanted to ingratiate themselves in every regard.
"Oh, no need to bother, so water will do for ."
Su Xiaong replied.
"Young Madam, why aren’t you wearing the new clothes the Young Master had made for you? I heard they were ticulously designed by a master tailor!"
"You all..."
Su Xiaong squinted her eyes, and the servants instantly zipped their lips, realizing they might have overstepped.
But who knew Xiao ng suddenly raised her eyebrows, a smile appeared on her lips, "You really want to see? Then I’ll wear them for you after lunch!"
"Sounds great!"
Su Xiaong chuckled lightly, evidently in a good mood.
So of these servants were just two or three years older than her, so seven or eight, all young, and interacting with them was much more comfortable than with the elders of the Yin Family.
Guo Tong was already seated at the second table, watching Su Xiaong’s smug manner, feeling utterly disgusted.
"Never seen soone who loves to show off so much..."
Guo Tong muttered quietly.
Yin Bowen, sitting next to her, softly said, "When those clothes were delivered this morning, I saw them; just an ordinary local brand. Tomorrow, I’ll have an Italian designer tailor a set for you, alright?"
Guo Tong glanced at him, "Do you know how much that costs? Why such extravagance and waste, haven’t you already bought enough... Do I really covet that of hers?"
Yin Bowen felt a warmth in his heart and smiled at her, "That’s why I love you so much."
He said, holding her hand.
Yin Junjie, nearby, watched the intertwined hands under the table...
The once lively and shiny black eyes now appeared dim and dull.
"But back to the point, why does your little uncle like Su Xiaong so much? How did the two of them get together anyway..."
Guo Tong had inquired about it before but didn’t get any clues.
Not many people knew the specifics.
Yin Bowen whispered to Guo Tong, "I’m not sure either, but when little uncle brought her in, she was already pregnant, and they even had their marriage certificate ready."
"They must have taken so crooked path."
Guo Tong muttered again.
"I was the one who bridged the gap between little uncle and Xiaong. I wonder what kind of monster that makes in Miss Guo’s eyes?"
Yin ng suddenly pulled out the chair next to Guo Tong and sat down.
Yin ng spoke with neither lightness nor weight, yet she didn’t even glance at Guo Tong.
Guo Tong had so impression of the Yin Family mbers but didn’t know much about them.
She knew Yin ng was the daughter of the third miss of the Yin Family, just like the twin siblings.
"Xiao ng, Xiao Tong is new to our family and doesn’t know much about many things, she just has private doubts, and doesn’t an much harm to Little Aunt."
Yin Bowen quickly played the peacemaker.
However, Yin ng, not being aggressive, was not soone who would yield easily either.
"If you have personal doubts, and you instinctively think of people in a bad light, moreover, this person you’re not familiar with is your relative. Miss Guo, people with a little bit of family education probably wouldn’t say such things, would they?"
Yin ng uttered, casting her a glance.
"You are called Yin ng, right?"
Guo Tong looked up, eting her eyes.
"Uh-huh."
"And you were classmates with Xiao ng?"
"Yes."
"That explains it..." Guo Tong pulled a slight smile, "Indeed, I have little family upbringing, born into a family as ordinary as can be, I entered the society early, unlike you young girls, who are naive and always think well of people."
