Sheng Jianan tilted his head to glance at Tang Yanqi, a hint of amusent flashed in his eyes, and he didn’t say anything as he led her into the elevator.
The two of them went straight down to the underground parking lot before Sheng Jianan spoke: "Do you know what Assistant Qiao’s annual salary is? You just want to give her a raise?"
Tang Yanqi blinked: "How much?"
Sheng Jianan ntioned a number, and Tang Yanqi swallowed: "Then... maybe a smaller raise?"
The man laughed, starting the car while reaching out to pinch Tang Yanqi’s cheek.
When did it start?
She finally considered herself Young Madam Sheng.
When did it start?
She finally realized she was his wife, they were a family, and they didn’t need to draw such clear lines between them.
She finally stopped seeing herself as soone incompatible with him in life.
She finally wasn’t soone who always went along with him even though she had her own thoughts.
The amusent in Sheng Jianan’s eyes deepened; he loved her, loved her smile, her anger, her moods, her coquettishness, her seriousness, everything about her.
In the quiet of the night, she was the galloping iron horse, she was the frozen river.

Back at the villa, Su Weiyi was very excited to see Sheng Jianan after such a long ti and dashed upstairs to bring down a pile of drawings, gathering before Sheng Jianan: "Daddy, these are Xiao Yi’s drawings."
Missing Sheng Jianan very much, Su Weiyi clung to him and refused to let go, even after dinner, and it wasn’t until he coaxed her to sleep that she finally settled down.
Tang Yanqi, after taking a bath, lay on the bed reading a book. Sheng Jianan joined her, lying down by her side, and since they knew the gender of the baby in Tang Yanqi’s belly, the two of them discussed the baby’s na for the first ti.
As they talked, Sheng Jianan suddenly suggested changing Su Weiyi’s na, but Tang Yanqi thought for a mont and shook her head: "Changing it over and over again is troubleso, just leave it as is. Xiao Yi finally learned how to write her own na. If we change it again, she’ll end up crying. Besides, Xiao Yi’s biological mother has the surna Su, so no matter what, let’s keep so connection to her and her biological mother."
Sheng Jianan naturally had no objections: "Whatever you say."
Speaking of children, Tang Yanqi suddenly recalled an incident at the hospital today. She didn’t ask Sheng Jiayu about it because she noticed her expression wasn’t very good. Now rembering it, she spoke up: "My sister and I encountered sothing strange at the hospital today."
"Hm?"
"After my prenatal check-up, I saw her looking at a couple who were there for a check-up, and her expression didn’t look good. I’ve never seen her like that, as if she knew them."
"A couple?"
Sheng Jianan’s brows furrowed as well.
Tang Yanqi continued: "Yes, the man, about six feet tall, was a bit lean, looked quite gentle, but the way he looked at my sister wasn’t good, more like cautious. The woman was very short, even though she was pregnant, she still seed very petite, skinnier than ."
As Tang Yanqi spoke, she noticed Sheng Jianan’s face also gradually turned grim.
He turned over and left the room, soon returning with a family photo, pointing to a man in the photo and asked: "Is it him?"
Tang Yanqi glanced at it; the photo was quite old, and Sheng Jiayu in it didn’t look as mature as she does now.
But the man was indeed the one they had seen today.
"It’s him, how...?"
Sheng Jianan placed the photo down, laid back down, and enveloped Tang Yanqi in his arms: "He and that pregnant woman aren’t a couple; he is Sheng Jiayu’s husband."
"What?"
