After arranging a gathering with a group of good friends, Zhang Junyan excitedly mentioned it to Luo Qi.
"But I haven't been feeling well recently!”Luo Qi wanted to decline.
"Don't be like this! The people in the same trade are all my good friends. They have long heard that I have such a beautiful and capable wife like you, so they all clamored to see.”
"Is that so?" Luo Qi frowned slightly, looking rather troubled.
"Anyway, we haven't gone out for a while and we were busy with Xuefei previously. Why don't we take this opportunity to change our mood?”
Thinking about it, it made sense.
"Alright." Luo Qi smiled and agreed.
The group of brothers gathered by the river to drink and have fun, and Yu Shaoyang was among them.
"Jun Yan, congratulations on marrying a beautiful woman!”
"Yeah! Congratulations, congratulations!"
Everyone raised their glasses and congratulated him again. Just like that, they had already drunk several glasses. Even Luo Qi had drunk quite a bit!
"You're good." Yu Shaoyang was so envious that his eyes turned red." You've started a family and started a business. You've done everything vigorously. In what way can I, Young Master Yu, compare to you? But I'm not as lucky as you."
"Good luck?" Zhang Junyan's handsome brows raised. He had suffered enough, so how could he have gained any advantage? "Do you really think there's such a thing as freeloading in this world? Let me tell you, this is called strength!"
The group of people laughed non-stop. Luo Qi laughed along, and her head became more and more dizzy.
"Junyan, I'm not feeling well." she whispered into his ear.
"Do you want to go back?"
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Qi 'er did not want to dampen their spirits.
"I don't want to. How about this? I'll go ahead and take a boat. It's rare for you two to meet, so let's talk more.”
"So you're just playing around!" He pinched her nose as a form of consent.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Luo Qi got up and went to the lakeside. She called over a small boat and shakily stepped onto it.
As the boat swayed gently, her mood brightened.
Strange, why did he still feel like vomiting with such a warm breeze?
Luo Qi leaned against the side of the boat to rest. She looked very lazy. She let the end of her wide long sleeves sink into the water and slid across the calm water.
The banquet finally ended. Zhang Junyan saw that his wife's boat was still in the middle of the lake. He tapped his feet and landed lightly on the boat.
Sigh, so Qi 'er was already asleep.
The smooth water mirror reflected her appearance. On her fair cheeks, her long curved eyelashes were closed. Her sleeping face was not inferior to the lotus flowers blooming on the lake.
Strangely, Qi 'er's face seemed a little paler than usual.
"Qi 'er, are you still sleeping? Time to get up!" Zhang Junyan called out lovingly.
Luo Qi rubbed her sleepy eyes, straightened her waist, and stretched lazily. She then sat up unwillingly." Where are they? Have they all left?"
"Yes, it's about time. We should get ready to leave.”Seeing Qi 'er's troubled expression, Zhang Junyan asked with concern,""Why are you still not feeling well?"
Luo Qi patted her chest and frowned deeply." Strange, recently I've been…evil!”Before she could finish, she opened her mouth and started to vomit.
Zhang Junyan was frightened by her and quickly pulled her hand to take her pulse.
"Let me see!"
Yingxi Villa also operated medicine. Although Zhang Junyan was not proficient in medicine, he was quite confident in his pulse analysis.
Seeing Zhang Junyan's expression change slightly, Luo Qi couldn't help but be a little worried." What's wrong? What illness am I suffering from?"
Jun Yan looked at her and tried to calm down before telling her the good news.
"You're not sick."
" Then…" She didn't understand the expression on her husband's face.
"It's a happy pulse."
Luo Qi opened her mouth wide in disbelief." I…"
Not knowing how to convey his surprise, Zhang Junyan suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Qi 'er had his child, and he was going to be a father.
This great news immediately spread throughout the entire Yingxi Mountain Villa. Everyone was overjoyed, especially Lu Qian Yun. She had been waiting for the Zhang Family's incense until a few strands of her hair had turned white. Now that this matter had a lead, she could be considered to have let down her ancestors.
It was a strange feeling to be treated like a treasure by everyone.
In particular, everyone was respectful wherever they went, and from time to time, they would look at her belly. Luo Qi really wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
Leaning against Zhang Junyan's chest on the bed, Luo Qi seized this good opportunity and inevitably pouted."Annoying, annoying!"
"Why are you throwing a tantrum? Pregnant people had to maintain a good mood and be careful not to affect the fetus.”
"Don't mention pregnancy to me. I'm so annoyed and angry. I really can't wait to stop giving birth.”
Seeing Qi 'er's cherry lips curled up high and her words were especially unreasonable, Zhang Junyan knew that his dear wife needed his love again!
"Who made you unhappy? Tell me, and I'll definitely help you teach him a lesson!”
"Who else?" Luo Qi rolled her eyes." Isn't it all because of this guy? I'm almost in trouble because of him."
Zhang Junyan followed Qi 'er's finger and looked down. His gaze was fixed on her flat stomach.
"Him?" Zhang Junyan was puzzled." He probably won't kick your stomach yet, right?!"”
"Kicking his stomach is something for the future, but I don't want him now.”
"Why?" Because he knew that it was impossible for Qi 'er not to have a child, Zhang Junyan was neither hurried nor slow. He even planned to listen attentively.
Luo Qi's voice suddenly became soft and she looked very aggrieved.
"I never knew that pregnancy was so hard. Not only did I have to be locked in the house and not be able to go anywhere, but I also had to eat a lot of things.”
"Silly girl, that's because she loves you!" Zhang Junyan pinched her pretty nose. He could not arouse any sympathy for her.
"Isn't that so? I felt that since I had a child, the people in the village had a different view of me. There were also many people who came to court me for no reason. It was really uncomfortable.”
Zhang Junyan nodded and said matter-of-factly,"It's very normal. This is called a mother's status. Even my mother treats you very well, right? It's not hard to imagine."
"But I don't like this." Luo Qi looked at Zhang Junyan." They treat me well only for the sake of the child. I don't care about that, and I don't want to use the child to raise my status.”
"But I'm curious!" Zhang Junyan gently pecked her face and said with a smile," After having a child, others will value you more. Being pregnant with my child is a huge matter because this child might be the Young Master of Yingxi Manor. And you, the child's biological mother, will be my legitimate wife.”
She was the only woman he loved in his life. He wanted to love her openly and naturally.
It was a good thing to be accepted, but it was a little sad that it had to be like this.
" I really hope that they will accept me…" Luo Qi sighed.
"Don't think so much. It's fine if you're just worrying about yourself, but you're still desperately shouting that you don't want children. If anyone else heard this, it would definitely become a big deal again.”
"Yes." Luo Qi agreed.
Not long after, she continued to make things difficult for him." But I'm not used to your mother. She changed so much all of a sudden and kept asking me questions all day long. It makes me so nervous.”
"Sigh, you still have to live like this for seven or eight months! Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon." Zhang Junyan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said,"Qi 'er, remember to have a few more children.”
Luo Qi's face couldn't help but turn red when she heard this. She pushed him lightly." This is only my first child! You're not embarrassed at all when you say such things!”
There was a reason why Zhang Junyan would make such a request.
"Our Zhang family has only one child for generations. Every child will definitely be forced to marry when they reach adulthood. This feeling is too unbearable. In order to not let my son suffer the same pain as me, I can only let you have five or six children in a row. This way, not only will my mother be crazy with joy, but she won't have to worry about the Zhang family being thin.”
Luo Qi revealed an expression of sudden realization, then pretended to change her expression and punched him." Damn it, do you think I'm a pig?!"”
Zhang Junyan happily hugged her in his arms. The two of them leaned against each other for a while, and he suddenly had a thought." Hey, say…if we were to be intimate now, I wonder if you would get pregnant with another child?”
"How is that possible? This is still in my stomach!" Luo Qi laughed.
"That's true." Although Jun Yan agreed, he immediately said,"Actually, it's hard to say. Why don't we give it a try?”
It turned out that someone was lustful.
Luo Qi smiled and refused.
"Hey, are you crazy? I'm pregnant!"
"What does it matter? It's still okay!"
"No, no." Luo Qi still felt that it was inappropriate and quickly shook her head." If anything happens and you're fine, I'll be strangled to death by your mother.”
It was a little too late to say no.
Zhang Junyan's heart and body were extremely excited. He couldn't wait to taste her.
"I promise to be gentle." He swore.
" No, no…" Luo Qi would not be so foolish as to take the risk!
There is a saying in the art of war: build a boardwalk in the open and secretly travel in the dark. Since he was not allowed to do it openly, he would take his time and do it secretly.
"Alright then!" He reluctantly agreed and hugged Qi 'er with a slightly waning interest." Then let's sleep!”
Luo Qi felt an indescribable sense of apology towards her husband as she said softly,""I'm sorry! It's really for the sake of the big picture."
"I'm not blaming you!" Zhang Junyan looked at her and asked politely,"Then can I kiss you?"
"Yes." Luo Qi nodded gently.
Zhang Junyan really held her face and kissed her lightly or heavily. Luo Qi closed her eyes and felt his taste and sucking.
Moving down her face, Zhang Junyan stopped at her delicate chin. His breathing was slightly irregular, and his burning gaze stared straight at her snow-white neck.
"Can I kiss here?"
It was fine to let him kiss her neck. Luo Qi didn't open her eyes and replied with coquettish.
With her consent, Zhang Junyan crazily bit her neck and kissed the front of her shirt. His lips and tongue kept rubbing back and forth on her chest, licking her slightly exposed cleavage a few times. Separated by her clothes, his large hands had already moved from her waist to her chest, tightly gripping her round body and rubbing it continuously.
Luo Qi's heart was beating wildly, and her entire body was burning up.
"Is this place good?" God knew how much effort Zhang Junyan had to put in to stop and ask her this.
She knew that he was referring to her breasts.
Luo Qi was already confused.
"You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful…"
"Junyan, I don't want it…"
She cried out to stop, but her body couldn't help but twist because of the tide of love.
"Touching here won't hurt the child.”Zhang Junyan smiled evilly.
"I will be very careful. Let me love you!”
Everything continued until the two of them were exhausted.
The two girls, Ping Shu and Juan Juan, were gathered together. They looked at each other and said something sneakily, but at the same time, they laughed heartily and giggled.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"
Luo Qi was very curious. What was so fun that she was kept in the dark?
Ping Shu and Juan Juan looked at each other and covered their mouths at the same time. They didn't look too serious.
Luo Qi could guarantee that as long as she dug deeper, she would definitely have some super big gossip to listen to.
"Hurry up and tell me!" She urged the two of them in a delicate voice, her big eyes full of desire to join in the fun.
Ping Shu smiled and pulled her to the mirror. He pressed her against the chair and said,"Why do you care so much? Hurry up and change your clothes and do your makeup. Master and Madam have something to tell you!”
"That's right! It would be rude to make them wait!"
Luo Qi pursed her lips unwillingly, many doubts rising in her heart. Seeing Juanjuan helping her comb her hair while exchanging glances with Ping Shu, who could bear it and who could not? " Tell me, are you guys laughing at me?" she finally asked.”
The two pretty girls were stunned at first, but then they forcefully endured it.
"What do you mean?" Juanjuan tried to reduce the big issue to a small one, and the small matter to nothing.
"Don't think I don't know! You guys are so strange, but you don't want to tell me clearly. It's definitely not a good thing to be sneaky!”
"You're thinking too much." Ping Shu smiled and handed over a bowl of tea."Here, drink some tea to calm yourself down."
"No!" Luo Qi deliberately put on an angry face and puffed up her cheeks as she said,"I'm already full of anger from you guys. Why are you still drinking tea?”
Seeing that their master was angry, the two maids were not anxious but laughed instead.
Ping Shu knew that it was time to give Luo Qi some mental preparation, so he deliberately teased her,""If you throw a tantrum so casually, the child in your stomach must have a bad personality. And wow! I wonder if you're qualified to be the Young Mistress of our Yingxi Manor?”
Juanjuan continued tacitly," Yingxi Villa is a place of power and influence. A woman who can become the Young Mistress must not be an ordinary person. If she likes to throw a tantrum at will, it seems that she is not well-mannered enough. She is too petty."”
When Luo Qi heard that, she was completely dumbfounded.
Where did this come from?
"Why did you suddenly say that? Who wants to be the Young Madam?" Her dazed look really made people want to laugh.
Juan Juan helped her tie her hair into a bun and patted her shoulder lightly. She said matter-of-factly,"You!"
"Me?" Luo Qi stared blankly at the jade-like face in the mirror, still in a daze.
"Yes." Ping Shu's eyes curved into crescents as he explained excitedly,""Ever since Young Mistress went missing, everyone has been secretly spreading the news. They don't know when Young Master will make you official and make you officially become the wife of the first wife! A few months had passed, and it was time.”
"All the related rumors are spreading like wildfire. Ping Shu and I heard a lot. Although Juan Juan was very sad that the young miss had disappeared, she didn't feel anything wrong with Qi 'er taking over the position of the young madam. Instead, she was happy about it.
"Will I? Will Junyan marry me?"
Ping Shu pulled her up from the chair and changed her clothes behind the screen. She was very busy and her mouth kept talking.
"Why not? The person Young Master truly loves is you! Previously, because Miss Xuefei was officially married and the marriage was of great interest, she could not give up so easily. That was why she had to let you be the little one. The current situation is already very clear. If Young Master doesn't marry you, will he marry someone else?”
"But he and I…our statuses are really not compatible. Master and Furen don't seem to approve of our marriage!”
"I don't think so." Juanjuan poked her head in from outside and said with a faint smile," You're quite capable and well-appreciated. Furthermore, you're considerate enough to know how to please the two elders. With so many good points, it's enough to make people like you. Now that you've learned from Miss Xuefei's mistakes and that precious egg in your stomach, I guess this marriage will get the blessings of many people!”
"Maybe! Master and Madam called you over to discuss the marriage with you! Juanjuan, don't you think so?"
Ping Shu and Juan Juan looked at each other and gave Luo Qi an encouraging smile.
Indeed, Luo Qi lacked confidence. Even though she knew that Jun Yan loved her very much, she was not confident that she could get the approval of the two elders.
She took a deep breath, lifted her skirt and smiled."I'm really happy to have you guys on my side. I'm going to see Master and Furen now, but I'll say this first. If they really aren't talking about marriage, don't laugh at me when I come back.”
"Yes, sir."
With an uneasy heart, Luo Qi came to the hall. In the hall, besides the two elders, Zhang Junyan, who was originally out, was also unexpectedly present. The atmosphere was happy…but there was also an indescribable strangeness.
"Qi 'er, come over and take a look. These are the jewelry that Junyan just brought back. Which one do you think is better?”Lu Qian Yun greeted her happily and pulled Luo Qi to her side.
There were many pearls and jewelry in the wooden box. Whether it was the quality of the materials or the craftsmanship, they were all rare and top-notch.
Luo Qi picked up a jade bracelet and examined it carefully. She couldn't help but let out a sigh." It's so beautiful. It's crystal clear and warm, white and flawless. It's a rare suet jade from the Western Regions.”
"Yes." Zhang Jingheng smiled as he twirled his beard. The others also expressed their agreement.
"Then how about this one?" Zhang Junyan handed over a phoenix hairpin adorned with jade. It was dazzling with golden light. Every time it was shaken, it would emit a dazzling light. It was extraordinary and luxurious.
"Very good, really very good." Luo Qi raised her infatuated eyes and said to Zhang Junyan," The goods this time are really great. We can definitely sell them for a good price and make a fortune!”
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Junyan couldn't help but smile. Xiao Qi 'er was so confused that she couldn't even figure out the situation." Sigh, tell me. I wonder if these things are enough for me to change my wife?"”
Luo Qi said without hesitation," Enough, definitely enough…" Halfway through her words, she suddenly froze and asked with a confused expression,""What did you say? What wife?"
Everyone was amused by her silly personality. Zhang Junyan finally restrained himself and said to Luo Qi,"I didn't give you these jewelry today to help you appraise and negotiate. I painstakingly collected these for the purpose of formally betrothal gifts to you.”
Betrothal gifts?
This beautiful word dazzled Luo Qi and made her speechless.
"It's been hard for you to be my concubine these days. Fortunately, you didn't mind and were willing to stay by my side at all costs. Now that I don't have the burden of marriage, and with the approval of Father and Mother, I want to marry you.”Looking at Qi 'er's tearful eyes, Zhang Junyan held her hand and said,""I'll hold your hand and grow old with you. I wonder if I have the fortune to do so?”
The feeling of happiness flowed in the air around her. Luo Qi blinked and tried hard to see his handsome face clearly. Unexpectedly, her long eyelashes fluttered and tears fell.
"Why are you crying?" Zhang Junyan's slender fingers gently wiped away her tears. His gentle voice was half coaxing and half deceiving."Look, the red silk on the table is for you. I want you to be beautiful and become the most beautiful bride in the world. This is the guest list for the banquet. On the day of our wedding, these people will come to congratulate us…"
Zhang Junyan's words were endless. Luo Qi only listened happily and nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes. She could not say a word.
Many years later, when they occasionally quarreled, Luo Qi would use this as an excuse to say that Zhang Junyan had cheated her into marrying her because she had not even said hello back then!
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't fight with a woman!
Jun Yan just hugged a pair of cute children and whispered in their ears,"Ignore her! Your mother is like this!"
