“Just these two?” Zhou Zimo asked in a deep voice.
“These two are in principle. These are also my bottom line. Some things are better if they are said out loud. They can also be used as norms for future behavior. What about you? Do you have any requests?” Qin Su asked generously.
“I don’t have any requests. As long as you stay with me, all is well.” Zhou Zimo said in a deep voice.
Qin Su took a deep breath and nodded silently.
The two of them did not say anything else after that, and the car instantly fell silent.
Zhou Zimo and Qin Su’s marriage was not a very secret matter, so Su Chen heard about it immediately.
At this moment, it was already late at night. Su Chen had just applied olive oil on Ji Zitong’s protruding belly when the phone on the side started vibrating. Su Chen quickly pulled down Ji Zitong’s clothes and picked it up.
“Hello? Ah Chen, why are you calling me now?”
That’s right, the call was from Mu Yuchen.
“I knew you wouldn’t be asleep. I’m flying tomorrow evening. I didn’t ask Li Si to arrange for someone to pick me up. Come over, I’m arriving in City Z at 5 p.m. It’s the weekend, so you don’t have to go to work.”
Mu Yuchen’s deep voice came through.
“5 p.m. tomorrow?”
Su Chen paused for a moment. “I thought you two didn’t want to come back anymore! It’s been so long and I haven’t heard from you.”
“It wouldn’t be a vacation oterwise. Do you know about Zimo and Qin Su registering their marriage today?”
On the other end, Mu Yuchen asked straightforwardly.
“What? Zimo and Qin Su registered their marriage today?”
Sure enough, Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, but he calmed down after a while. After all, he suddenly felt that this should be expected.
“Director Chen sent a message over. It happened this morning. So, I predict that the wedding won’t be too far away. It won’t be a matter of a day or two since he wants to marry Qin Su. I’ve already arranged for him to gather at Maple Residence tomorrow night. Remember to bring Ji Zitong. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun will be here too.”

“Alright, I got it. Oh right, Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun…”
“It’s just a small matter. It’s not like we haven’t experienced these things before. We should stay out of their matters and just pay attention to them. Is Ji Zitong alright?”
“She’s fine. I can finally understand how a father-to-be feels now. I went to visit the Mu family’s old residence two days ago. Aunty Zhuang is taking good care of the children.”
Su Chen’s eyes lit up when he thought about Mu Yuchen’s two sons, especially Mu Xiaocheng. He wished even more that his child was a daughter. It would be great if he could get Mu Yuchen’s son!
“Xiaye also said that she misses the children. Otherwise, we could have been on vacation for a few more days.”
Mu Yuchen thought about how Xi Xiaye missed her son so much while they spoke on the phone this morning, and he felt a little helpless—
He realized that the time and energy she spent on him was getting lesser and lesser. Most of it was on the children, which made him feel a little unhappy sometimes.
“Come on, you can’t wait for Xiaye to only have eyes for you, it’s like you’re jealous of your own children. Mu Yuchen, look at you.”
Su Chen smiled disapprovingly.
“You’ll be like me sooner or later. Let’s leave it at that for now. Over at Zimo’s, you can just give her a call to say hello,” Mu Yuchen replied.
“Alright, I know. I’ll leave it at that!”
Then, Su Chen hung up the phone and reached out to massage Ji Zitong’s stomach. It was as if the baby suddenly felt Su Chen’s call from in the belly, and the little guy inside started to do something. Su Chen could not help but be delighted.
“Zhou Zimo and Qin Su are married?”
Ji Zitong, who had been silent all this while, looked at her husband, who was playing with the baby, in surprise.
“Yes, they are. It was only a matter of time. That Zhou Zimo, he would do whatever it takes if he wanted to do something. It was only a matter of time before he took down Qin Su. However, with Qin Su’s character, I think it’s most likely that she was coaxed by Zimo to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. But let’s not care about this, after all, he’s married and not left behind. I was quite worried about him, afraid that no one will want him in this lifetime.”
Although Su Chen said this, his deep tone clearly carried some relief.
Hearing this, Ji Zitong’s face also revealed a smile. “He’s really married to Qin Su. I’ve seen Officer Qin Su before. She’s quite a good woman and very beautiful. It’s no wonder Zhou Zimo was moved.”
“That guy really cares about looks, but he doesn’t seem to have a preference. I guess he likes Qin Su’s looks.”
“Qin Su is very outstanding to begin with, and Zhou Zimo isn’t bad either. The two of them are actually quite compatible. If it wasn’t for the discord that you were worried about before, I think they would definitely be a very happy couple in the future.”
Ji Zitong was quite confident in the two of them.
“Let’s wait and see. Do you want to eat some fruit? You ate half a bowl less than yesterday. I’m worried that you’ll be hungry?”
Su Chen raised his gaze to look at her as he asked.
“No need. I’m not very hungry. My weight has been soaring recently. Look at my legs. They’re as thick as an elephant’s legs.”
Speaking of this, Ji Zitong was a little troubled.
She had a strong reaction a while ago and vomited so much that she looked like something. Now, her reaction was weak and her appetite was surprisingly good. Xie Jiajia and the others had changed their ways to nourish her. In a short amount of time, her entire body had become much rounder. She looked at her pants legs, which were already a little tight, Ji Zitong was actually very anxious.
“Let me see? No way! Aren’t you the same as before? You were too thin before. Isn’t it good to gain some weight now? Look at you. You look so good. You look much more elegant than before.”
Su Chen looked at Ji Zitong. He was satisfied with however his wife looked right now.
“I’m worried that in another half a month, I’ll have double chins. Why don’t you go and tell Mother that she doesn’t have to cook that soup for me every day…”
Ji Zitong pleaded helplessly. She looked at Su Chen with a pitiful look in her eyes. She was not sure if it was because she was pregnant, but other than being a little moody, she seemed much gentler.
“That won’t do. She’s just concerned about you. You won’t have a double chin, your face is sharp and not that fat. Anyway, I like you. What are you worried about? Besides, the goods will be discharged in a few months. You’ll have to work harder in these few months. I’ll accompany you, okay?”
Su Chen naturally understood his wife’s worries. Xie Jiajia had been nagging him in the past. It was indeed not easy for a woman. Otherwise, he would have wanted to help her handle this matter. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.
Ji Zitong could only lower her eyes in grievance…
