Chapter 1242: Chapter 1269: Moving to Beijiang (2)

The Chu family was incredibly anxious; although their family also boasted prominent figures, with fairly solid financial status, they paled in comparison to the Jian family.

Suddenly they felt that the 500,000 betrothal gift they painstakingly saved for Shi Nuan was somewhat insufficient, yet it was everything they had.

Chu Zhan spoke sincerely, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, just rest assured and leave Nuannuan to me. We’ll save whatever you give us for the next generation. I’ll work hard to earn money and give Nuannuan a good life."

No oath of eternal love could compare to Chu Zhan’s heartfelt and sincere words.

Thus, any unpleasant feelings harbored by the Jian family dissipated, as they joined the Chu family in discussing the children’s wedding, as well as where the wedding house should be arranged.

Chu Zhan was willing to let the Jian family handle the wedding banquet, but insisted on buying the wedding house himself. Wherever they decide to buy it, Nuannuan should choose, lest he becomes completely reliant on the Jian family, making him seem like a failure as a man.

Last week, Nianyang received a telegram from Li Tingyan indicating that he had settled on Beijiang Island Village, originally planning to travel there on a scheduled flight in the next few days.

But due to Chu Zhan and Shi Nuan’s wedding, she could only stay an extra week.

She was already four months pregnant, and her belly was quite noticeable at this point. She could clearly feel the presence of new life in her abdomen, as the baby had started to move. Nianyang found herself unable to sleep every night due to the baby’s movements.

At such times, Nianyang particularly missed Li Tingyan; if he were by her side, she’d have someone to accompany her when she felt uncomfortable and to vent her small frustrations.

Nianyang specifically checked the information and found that most expectant mothers like her at four months had a belly about the size of half a soccer ball.

But she seemed to be even bigger, even more so than Jiang Tian’s five-month belly.

Nianyang couldn’t help but fall into deep thought; did Li Tingyan actually guess it right, and might she actually be carrying twins?

Oh, why doesn’t Nianyang just use visual perception?

Since pregnancy, Nianyang hasn’t continued with body training, so using visual perception which consumes spiritual energy and could impact the fetus is something Nianyang cannot do anymore. Moreover, she didn’t want to use perception to determine the number of babies or their gender.

No matter what, it’s fate given by heaven, and she can accept whatever it may be.

She would rather wait until labor and give herself a surprise then.

To delay the journey to Beijiang for another week, Nianyang simply sent a telegram to Li Tingyan explaining the situation.

Nianyang could almost imagine Li Tingyan felt devastated upon receiving the telegram.

They’ve been married for so long, and their child is already four months old, yet they haven’t even held a wedding banquet.

On the other hand, Chu Zhan and Jian Nuan, who met less than half a year ago, managed to arrange everything quickly—it was truly speedy.

Nianyang didn’t go to Tongxin Hall to help these days due to discomfort from fetal movements and poor sleep.

With everything else slowing down, she began to worry about Jiang Tian’s situation, seeing as it’s already the end of December, and in just one month it will be New Year. Her uncle and aunt will be coming to Pingjing, and how can Jiang Tian’s pregnancy leave be kept a secret?

Nianyang wanted to talk to Jiang Tian, but it seemed as if Jiang Tian was avoiding her; previously she would return to the Li Family to spend the night, but now she simply cited convenience for nurturing a pregnancy as a reason to stay at Tongxin Hall every night.
