Mo Baichuan found the news somewhat hard to believe.
He never expected Ni Yang would agree to Mo Qishen’s proposal.
Could it be that Ni Yang was still playing hard to get?
Was she trying to use her acceptance to provoke him?
That must be it...
"Baichuan, I feel like eating grapes." Zhao Jingrong walked over with her big belly.
"I’ll go wash them for you," Mo Baichuan said.
Zhao Jingrong smiled and replied, "Baichuan, you’re so hardworking."
With the previous experience as a lesson, this time Zhao Jingrong went for a check-up at five months pregnant. The doctor confirmed it was a boy.
To be certain it was a boy, Zhao Jingrong underwent more than ten check-ups in total.
When all the results showed it was a boy, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having a boy meant her position was secure.
"You’re my wife, this is what I should do." Mo Baichuan turned and went to wash the grapes.
On Mid-Autumn Festival day, Ni Yang and Mo Qishen brought mooncakes to the Wang household to celebrate the holiday.
On this visit, Mr. Wang shared good news with Ni Yang.
Wang Zeqi had found a girlfriend!
It was obvious that the elderly couple was particularly pleased with their future daughter-in-law. Their faces were full of smiles whenever they mentioned her.
After lunch, Wang Zeqi specially brought his girlfriend over for Ni Yang to meet.
"Yangyang, this has been my girlfriend Wang Lulu for a while. Lulu, this is my junior, Ni Yang. You can simply refer to her as Yangyang. And this is Yangyang’s boyfriend, Mo Qishen—Mr. Mo."
Wang Zeqi was a strapping man at six-foot-one, while Wang Lulu was a petite and sweet girl standing five-foot-two. The contrast between them made for a visually delightful pairing.
"Hello, Yangyang. Hello, Mr. Mo," Wang Lulu greeted politely.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Ni Yang extended her hand toward Wang Lulu.
Wang Lulu, flustered by being addressed as "sister-in-law," blushed deeply and reached out to shake Ni Yang’s hand.
Ni Yang added, "Sister-in-law, you should come visit my home with Brother Zeqi when you have time."
"S-Sure!" Wang Lulu’s face turned even redder.
Wanting to ease Wang Lulu’s embarrassment, Wang Zeqi changed the subject. "Yangyang, I heard that you and Mr. Mo will be tying the knot soon."
Ni Yang nodded slightly. "Yes, the wedding is scheduled for March 16th next year."
Wang Zeqi followed up, "Then I better prepare the red envelope in advance!"
Ni Yang smiled faintly. "Brother, don’t just talk about me. When are you and sister-in-law planning to make things official?"
Wang Zeqi replied, "Soon, very soon!"
