The day after Tang Jingci was suspected to be pregnant, Qiao Aiyun accompanied her to the hospital for a thorough checkup and confirmed her pregnancy.

That night, Tang Wangjin pondered for a long time before calling his wife.

But he hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to say it.

At this moment, the news of Tang Jingci and Qiao Xiyan’s relationship had already spread. If he was her son-in-law, she would be satisfied. “… It’s almost Christmas. Let the two children come back for the holidays.”

Christmas in Western countries was comparable to Chinese New Year. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The Tang family would also celebrate.

“Do you want to call Wangbei along too? Anyway, our two families don’t have many people, so we can organize a trip together.

“You two haven’t been home recently, and I’m living alone. It’s really a little lonely.”

…

The other party rambled on until she was thirsty.

Tang Wangjin sighed. “I have something to tell you.”

“Okay, go ahead.” She poured a glass of hot water.

“You’re going to be a grandmother.”

Before she could finish her sip of water, she spat it all out.

There was a long silence over the phone.

After a long time, Tang Wangjin heard his wife’s voice on the other end. “I’ll book a flight to Beijing.”

“Okay.”

…

With the arrival of the Tang family, the discussion of the marriage was officially on the agenda.

Because the design exhibition had just ended, there were a lot of people paying attention to their families, and it was easy for people to notice some small movements. Therefore, soon there were reports that the two families had met in private, and good things were about to happen.

Qiao Xiyan didn’t explain anything. This was the truth.

As a result, everyone had to spend time in the capital.

During this period, the two elders of the Fu family invited the Yan family and the Qiao family over for a meal. They wanted to discuss Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s engagement with them.

But at this moment, everyone’s focus was on Qiao Xiyan’s wedding. His mother had passed away early, so as his aunt, Qiao Aiyun naturally had to help manage it. She wanted to postpone Song Fengwan’s matter.

Old Madam Fu smiled. “It’s fine. This is what you should do. Xiyan’s marriage is important. Wanwan is still young after all. We can consider it at length.”

When Fu Chen heard this, he lowered his head and stroked the prayer bead bracelet. A glint flashed across his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Old Master Fu glanced at his son from the corner of his eye and lowered his head to take a sip of hot tea. What crooked idea is this brat thinking now?

***

A few days before New Year’s Day, all the major companies and universities were already on holiday.

The design exhibition led by Duan Linbai was a great success. He specially set up a private room in Ninth Mansion and invited his friends to have a small gathering.

At this moment, Yu Manxi was about seven months pregnant. She was lazy and languid. After drinking some fish soup at home, she went to bed. Fu Sinian originally planned to accompany her at home, but she felt that it was unnecessary and sent him out.

When he arrived at the private room, apart from the few familiar people, Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci were here, as well as the Jiang brothers, Jiang Duanyan and Jiang Ershao.

“Mr. Fu.” Jiang Duanyan stood up and greeted him.

His company had been cooperating with Fu Chen’s recently, so they had more contact. Coupled with Jiang Ershao’s relationship with Duan Linbai, Duan Linbai called the two of them over.

“Hello.” Fu Sinian had always been a man of few words. He sat directly beside Jing Hanchuan. “Third Uncle isn’t here yet?”

“He went to pick up Miss Song.”

Jing Hanchuan was holding a glass of plum wine, sweet and refreshing.

At this moment, he was very stubborn. As long as they didn’t get married, he wouldn’t call her sister-in-law.

“By the way, I want to call a friend,” Tang Jingci said tentatively. This was Duan Linbai’s gathering, and almost everyone was familiar with him. If she wanted to call a friend, she had to seek everyone’s opinion.

“You have friends in the capital?” Duan Linbai was holding a blue and pink thermos flask.

When he first appeared in the company with a thermos flask, everyone was stunned.

Their little boss, who had always been unrestrained and liked to go to bars to drink, was starting to nourish his health?

Was he trying to blind their dog eyes?

Why did he suddenly change for the better?

Everyone originally thought that something had happened to him. But after observing him for a long time, they didn’t find any suspicious people around him. Later, another rumor spread in the company.

Little Boss overworked himself and suffered serious physical losses.

Duan Linbai was hopping mad. These people don’t do anything all day and only know to gossip.

Their company’s New Year’s gift was a thermos flask and black wolfberries. Everyone in the company was dumbfounded. What kind of eccentric move was this? In the past, they had always received red packets.
