The night was still, yet Qiao Anhao couldn't sleep no matter what.
Even though they didn't speak, Lu Jinnian could feel that every now and then the pregnant woman by his side gently shifted. He knew she hadn't fallen sleep yet, so he slowly said, "Qiao Qiao, we should take advantage of the fact that your stomach isn't 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 didn't 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 wasn't 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 couldn't help up but warm up inside, pressing closer against him. She let out an "En’, then added, "And we have to visit your mother."
Lu Jinnian didn't 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 couldn't 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. What's more, he had once went to Qiao Anxia to ask where she was, and Qiao Anxia hadn’t 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 didn't have the courage. She was afraid that when she saw her, then so many years of sisterhood would be gone just like that.
However, what's 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 sister’s favorite brand of jewelry, clothes, and bags etc. In the end, she added, "Forget it, if you're going to go shopping, I'll go with you. You might not choose what Anxia likes."
"En, alright." Even though Qiao Anhao didn't 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, don't think too much about it. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side."
The world's happiest thing is to have someone care for you when you’re worried.
Lu Jinnian's words had a magical power that made Qiao Anhao instantly relax.
