The night was still, yet Qiao Anhao couldnât sleep no matter what.
Even though they didnât speak, Lu Jinnian could feel that every now and then the pregnant woman by his side gently shifted. He knew she hadnât fallen sleep yet, so he slowly said, "Qiao Qiao, we should take advantage of the fact that your stomach isnât big yet, we should prepare for our wedding ceremony."
Without opening her eyes, Qiao Anhao gave a nod and softly said, "Alright."
After a moment of silent, she spoke again. "Lu Jinnian, find some time and come back with me to the Qiao family estate."
When she got married, she didnât even tell her uncle and aunt. In the end, they saw it on entertainment news and had to call her for the truth. Even though her aunt wasnât angry with her at the time, she could still feel that she was a little disappointed.
Now that she was pregnant, Lu Jinnian had proposed to her, and they were even preparing for their wedding ceremony, she should bring him to pay her uncle and aunt a visit.
"Alright," Lu Jinnian agreed readily.
After a bout of silence, he spoke once more. "But before we pay uncle and aunt a visit, I think we should visit your parents first."
Deep down, Qiao Anhao couldnât help up but warm up inside, pressing closer against him. She let out an "Enâ, then added, "And we have to visit your mother."
Lu Jinnian didnât say a word, but tightened his arms around her.
There was another moment of silence. Suddenly, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, what does your uncle and aunt like?"
Qiao Anhao thought about it for a moment, then listed a few things. Lu Jinnian repeatedly let out an "En", and memorized each and every thing she mentioned.
He waited until she finished before he asked in hesitation, "Also, what about Qiao Anxia? What does she like?"
As soon as Lu Jinnian mentioned her sister, Qiao Anhao couldnât help but feel a little heavy inside.
Qiao Anxia had tried to go after Lu Jinnian twice. Even though she was rejected, she still liked him. Whatâs more, he had once went to Qiao Anxia to ask where she was, and Qiao Anxia hadnât told him. Perhaps she still cared about him rejecting her in the past.
Since the news came out that she and Lu Jinnian got married, Qiao Anxia, who would call her to go out shopping or eat out every now and then, stopped contacting her.
Qiao Anhao wanted to call her sister several times, but she didnât have the courage. She was afraid that when she saw her, then so many years of sisterhood would be gone just like that.
However, whatâs meant to be will be. Even if she was avoiding her, she had to face the facts eventually.
Qiao Anhao tried to push down her uneasiness. She told Lu Jinnian her sisterâs favorite brand of jewelry, clothes, and bags etc. In the end, she added, "Forget it, if youâre going to go shopping, Iâll go with you. You might not choose what Anxia likes."
"En, alright." Even though Qiao Anhao didnât say anything, Lu Jinnian could still feel that she was still troubled by her sister. He stayed silent for a moment, then finally pulled her into his arms. He stared into her eyes and said, "Qiao Qiao, donât think too much about it. No matter what happens, Iâll be by your side."
The worldâs happiest thing is to have someone care for you when youâre worried.
Lu Jinnianâs words had a magical power that made Qiao Anhao instantly relax.
