Chapter 1257: Gu Qingcheng Began Preparing for His Wedding Proposal
“There’s no more ketchup…”
“I’ll go to the kitchen and get a bottle!” Gu Qingcheng drew a wet tissue and wiped his hands before walking into the house.
Yun Liuli, who was eating onion rings, saw Gu Qingcheng walking into the house, so she turned her head and set down the onion rings, chasing up to Gu Qingcheng. “Where are you going?”
“Getting ketchup…” Gu Qingcheng smiled at Yun Liuli. “Sit down and keep the kids company, I’ll be right back!”
“The meat is barbecued. Liuli, help bring the plates over!” Fu Huai’an spoke up.
Yun Liuli answered, “Okay! Coming!”
“Let me, let me!” Tang Zheng removed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves, walking towards Fu Huai’an.
When Gu Qingcheng got to the kitchen, seeing that no one was around, he closed the door and called the number Shen Zizhou left him…
When the call got through, Shen Zizhou’s deep, leisurely, and calm voice could be heard. “Mr. Jacob Bellucci, you found your deceased older brother’s belongings so quickly?”
Gu Qingcheng bent over and found the ketchup on the condiments rack, then told Shen Zizhou the name list that was stored in his head.
…
As the days went by, it felt as if things had returned to their peaceful state after Fu Tianci met Li Muyang.
After Li Muyang was seen in Haicheng, he disappeared… without a trace.
Bai Xiaonian was in an alright condition after she got pregnant. She didn’t vomit or feel uncomfortable, and she continued going to work as usual. Other than getting hungry frequently, she didn’t seem to feel anything.
Lu Jinnan had originally wanted to bring forward their wedding, but Bai Xiaonian didn’t wish to go through that formality now…
In any case, nearly everyone knew Bai Xiaonian was Lu Jinnan’s wife already, so they might as well wait until the child was born before holding the wedding.
Lu Jinnan considered that it would be tiring for the pregnant Bai Xiaonian to prepare for and go through the wedding, so after a discussion with Bai Xiaonian’s father, they decided to hold off the wedding until at least 100 days after Bai Xiaonian gave birth.
Ever since Bai Xiaonian got pregnant, her father had been feeding her like a pig, coming up with all sorts of tricks to make Bai Xiaonian eat more.
Over this period of time, Fu Huai’an let Lu Jinnan take a long leave to take care of Bai Xiaonian. He nearly stayed by Bai Xiaonian’s side 24/7!
Lu Jinnan would send Bai Xiaonian to the office in the morning, and at noon when Bai Xiaonian’s father was done cooking lunch, Lu Jinnan would drive over to give her the food.
In the second month of her pregnancy, Bai Xiaonian started to vomit badly, to the point that even drinking water made her vomit. They could only send her to the hospital first.
Bai Xiaonian was either being injected with IV fluids or sleeping the whole time.
Other people would grow fat during their pregnancies, but for Bai Xiaonian, who was thin to begin with, she was tormented by her pregnancy, causing her eyes to look sunken… making her appear more and more haggard.
Seeing what a difficult time Bai Xiaonian was having, there was a moment Lu Jinnan thought of not wanting the child.
But Lu Jinnan knew how much Bai Xiaonian cared about this child, so he ultimately wasn’t able to say that out loud.
Thankfully, after staying in the hospital for fifteen days, Bai Xiaonian’s condition started to improve. If it was something she wished to eat, she wouldn’t vomit it out.
After being discharged and going home, Bai Xiaonian’s appetite was better than before. She would eat countless times a day, and two hours after eating something, she would get hungry again!
It was said that pregnant women’s appetites would become rather strange. Bai Xiaonian, who never used to like eating meat, especially liked to eat meat now, and in particular, fatty meat. However, the smell of scallions, green peppers, and fragrant oil would make her nauseous.
Bai Xiaonian’s father was in poor health to begin with, so Lu Jinnan felt it was too taxing for him to be cooking a few meals a day. After some thought, he proposed shifting the entire family to the villa to Bai Xiaonian’s father.
Bai Xiaonian’s house was too small. Lu Jinnan’s father would drop by every day, and with more people around, the place would feel suffocatingly small.
Bai Xiaonian’s father had seen the villa’s environment and felt that it was indeed appropriate for Bai Xiaonian to care for her fetus there. Hence, without hesitation, he agreed to move in. He said that after Bai Xiaonian was done with her confinement, he would move back to his old house.
Mainly, Bai Xiaonian’s father didn’t wish to intrude on the lives of the youngsters.
Bai Xiaonian was ordered by Lu Jinnan to stay at home and rest today. Bai Xiaonian felt extremely bored at home, but thankfully, Lu Jinnan constantly kept Bai Xiaonian company. He would take Bai Xiaonian to the beach for a stroll one day and take Bai Xiaonian for a prenatal yoga session the next.
These few days, although Cen Mo didn’t contact Fu Huai’an again, he had clearly arranged his men to protect Fu Tianci, afraid that Li Muyang would abduct Fu Tianci to threaten Lin Nuan.
The fact that they weren’t able to capture Li Muyang was a heart ailment to Cen Mo. After all, as long as he wasn’t caught, they would need to keep their guards up, fearing an attack from him.
He couldn’t withdraw the people he sent to protect Lin Nuan. On the other hand, he didn’t feel safe deploying the men protecting Song Yao to check on where Li Muyang was…
Fu Huai’an instructed Tang Zheng to strengthen the protection of Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian. After all, Bai Xiaonian was pregnant now, and if Li Muyang had designs on her, it would be dangerous.
Tang Zheng’s acute senses told him something wasn’t quite right, but he didn’t say it in front of Fu Huai’an, merely telling Lu Jinnan about his concerns so that he would keep a closer watch on Bai Xiaonian.
At the same time, Gu Qingcheng began preparing for his wedding proposal.
When the AG Company learned that Gu Qingcheng was going to propose and that both the proposing party and the proposed party were their spokespeople, the AG Company naturally hoped to join in to get some of the publicity as well.
But Gu Qingcheng rejected them.
Gu Qingcheng said that he had made arrangements for the proposal and wouldn’t trouble the AG Company about it.
He planned to propose on the day the first trailer for “Red Rivers” was released.
Although Yun Liuli was intelligent, she was, after all, a girl and was envious of other girls who were proposed to in a grand fashion.
Although she didn’t say it, she would tightly clutch Gu Qingcheng’s hand when she saw romantic proposals shown on TV dramas.
Before Gu Qingcheng proposed, he had communicated with Yun Liuli’s assistant, Little Meng.
When Little Meng heard Gu Qingcheng’s idea, she was so touched she nearly cried, nodding her head vigorously. She guaranteed to Gu Qingcheng, “Mr. Jacob Bellucci, don’t worry! I’ll be sure to keep this a secret and not let Liuli find out anything!”
This day, Director Hu and the cast of “Red Rivers” participated in an old-school indoor variety show “100% Spicy”.
Little Meng had communicated with the production crew of “100% Spicy” in advance. Because they knew Yun Liuli’s boyfriend was going to propose to her, the production crew was rather cooperative—they didn’t sell the tickets for that day to outsiders and instead gave them to Little Meng for her to distribute to Yun Liuli’s especially loyal fans in advance.
Little Meng had told the loyal fans that it was Yun Liuli’s boyfriend, Jacob Bellucci, who had contacted her and had her distribute the tickets to her loyal fans. He hoped these fans of Miss Fairy Liuli, who loved her as deeply as he did, could witness Yun Liuli’s happiness!
Little Meng had selected each and every one of the loyal, high-quality fans…
