Chapter 108 - Talked About a Marriage

When Zhuang Hong rushed to the bedroom, he saw Cen Shuang sitting by the bed in a daze with a report in her hand. “Shuang Shuang, what’s wrong? Are you sick? Is it serious?”

Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong through her tears, but she did not say anything. She just sat there and cried silently.

Zhuang Hong saw Cen Shuang sitting there crying, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed. “Shuang Shuang, you’re fine. Now that the medical technology is so advanced, even if you’re unwell, we can actively cure your sickness.”

Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong’s helpless expression and her face suddenly broke into a smile. “I’m not sick. I’m three months pregnant.”

Zhuang Hong was stunned. After a long while, he came back to his senses and took the report from Cen Shuang’s hands. His face was expressionless, but his hands were shaking slightly. “I’m going to be a father!”

Lan Yibai rushed in when she heard this from outside the bedroom. Lan Yibai knew that Cen Shuang was not feeling well today. After returning from the hospital, Cen Shuang did not say anything to her and went straight to the bedroom. She was worried sick, so she had quickly sent Zhuang Hong a message telling him to come back. She followed him to the bedroom but did not dare to go in. However, when she heard this news, she was relieved and happy at the same time. Zhuang Hong side-hugged Cen Shuang and held her hand. He said, “Shuang Shuang, don’t worry about anything. With mom around, you’ll be taken care of.”

Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong and Lan Yibai’s expressions and smiled happily.

Zhuang Xinyan suddenly received a call from Lan Yibai. Looking at the caller ID, she saw that it was her mother. Zhuang Xinyan trembled. She carefully picked up the phone and accepted the call.

“It took you so long to pick up the call. What are you doing?”

Zhuang Xinyan hurriedly replied, “Mom, I’m picking peanuts. Do you want some? Do you want me to mail them back to you?”

Lan Yibai snorted. “Fresh peanuts are good for pregnant women. Your sister-in-law is pregnant with twins right now and needs a lot of nutritional protein. There’s no need to mail them. There’s no need to spend money on postage. Bring me back a box of peanuts immediately.”

Zhuang Xinyan was stunned for a moment. She felt a trace of something unusual in her mother’s words. She quickly said, “Mom, do you have something you’d like me to do back home?”

She must want her to stay by Cen Shuang’s side, to make Cen Shuang happy throughout her pregnancy.

Lan Yibai seemed to be stunned for a moment before saying, “There is a mission that concerns the Zhuang family’s future fortune and feng shui. I told you about the marriage.”

Zhuang Xinyan was at a loss for words.

On the way back, Zhuang Xinyan’s small face was full of gloom. She was holding a large box of peanuts in her arms and rolling her eyes at the driver in front of her.

In the driver’s seat, Yang Jinyan was driving with a serious expression. Along the way, the two of them did not interact much. When they reached a red light at an intersection, Yang Jinyan stopped the car. He turned his head slightly and said, “You’d better come to the front.”

Zhuang Xinyan vetoed it forcefully. “I think I’m fine here.”

“Don’t you think it’s a little crowded back there?” Yang Jinyan looked at Zhuang Xinyan, who was sitting behind him. He looked amused. Beside her was a full box of peanuts and a few more boxes. Zhuang Xinyan’s luggage alone filled the entire trunk, so the few bags of peanuts could only sit in the back seat with her. Zhuang Xinyan was holding a big box in her hands. A box of peanuts was pressing on her body. Did she not think it was heavy?

Zhuang Xinyan said stubbornly, “It’s not crowded. This place is very spacious. I’m so petite. I’m not that big.”

Yang Jinyan glanced at her and tried to force himself to respond. In any case, he could not speak for her. The red light turned green and Yang Jinyan’s car began to move again. Zhuang Xinyan squirmed in her seat. She could not help but roll her eyes at the man sitting in front of her. However, when she thought of what Lan Yibai had said to her on the phone, Zhuang Xinyan suddenly felt uneasy again.

At the Zhuang family’s villa.

Cen Shuang sat on the sofa and wondered if Zhuang Xinyan would need comfort. Cen Shuang was born in a wealthy family and grew up in a wealthy family. She even ended up marrying into a wealthy family. In fact, she was used to seeing this kind of marriage drama. She had known since she was young that... a family like hers could very well become an accessory to the family’s interests. In the past, she had been very against it. She only considered marrying for love. In the end though, she had married into the Zhuang family for the benefits they offered her. However, she did not regret it.

Zhuang Xinyan had always been more outgoing, and the possibility of her changing her mind was also very high.

A black Land Rover slowed to a stop in the parking lot. Zhuang Xinyan hugged the box tightly in her arms and suddenly woke up from her dream. She raised her head and saw Yang Jinyan sitting in front of her. Her sleepy eyes narrowed.

She must have been too emotionally affected by sitting in this man’s car. Just now, she actually dreamt that her future husband was actually Yang Jinyan.
