Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Becoming parents was, to be honest, a bit overwhelming for both of us. Furthermore, with a newborn baby crying at any hour of the night, being woken up just as we'd gotten a nap was a constant source of distress for two young people in their early twenties. The joy of parenthood faded, leaving only the bittersweetness of raising a child. We were truly overwhelmed. When the baby was one month old, we returned to our home in the countryside, held a grand celebration, and then lived there, seeking help from my parents. They say that generations are close, and my parents adored the children and often helped me with their care. My grandmother, though older, was also capable of taking care of the children, allowing us to relax and work on our project and paper.

Xiao Yuan brought in a big project and appointed me as the project leader. He held a video conference in the evening. As soon as I entered the video conference, a familiar voice said, "OMG! Wei Qing! What happened to you? You've gained so much weight!"

"No, I gained a little weight, but it's not that exaggerated!" I retorted reflexively.

"you are sick?"

I was trying to figure out who was talking, but the other person didn't have a real name, and I didn't know who they were. I tentatively asked, "Shen Junhui?"

"It's me! Long time no see!" Shen Junhui turned on the camera.

"No, why are you here if you have nothing to do? If you have time, go run five kilometers."

"You still care about me so much and often urge me to exercise"

"Get out of the way! We're working, you're just messing around here!"

"Uh, Wei Qing, Ah Hui is the client of our project," Xiao Yuan said.

"what!"

"Are you that shocked? Our hotel needs to update its systems too! And our project is very lucrative!"

"Xiao Yuan, you clearly know the relationship between him and me, yet you still appoint me as the person in charge. You are just trying to create chaos in the world."

"Wei Qing, you can't say that. This was chosen by Party A, not my idea! Hey, where's Rong Zixuan?"

"I'll go and urge him."

"You live together?" Shen Junhui said in disbelief.

"Yeah, we have kids, that's why I'm so fat!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No kidding, we have kids, twins at that! I just went to change our kids' diapers, so I'm late. I'm really sorry," Rong Zixuan came online.

"Impossible!" Shen Junhui yelled.

"Accept reality!"

"Tsk, so what if we have children? We can get divorced after marriage!" Shen Junhui quickly calmed down.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it, we are talking about work now, not chatting!" Xiao Yuan ended our chat.

"It was Shen Junhui who started it!"

"Okay, okay, no matter who started it, let's talk about work first! Ah Hui, tell us what you need."

The person in charge from Shen Junhui's side went over the requirements, and we went over the details. The meeting lasted three hours. It was indeed a big project, but the paper was finally ready! After the meeting, Rong Zixuan and I continued to discuss how to develop the framework. After more than a year of development, our Yuanyuan company has also formed a technical team, and the technical staff is no longer just Rong Zixuan and me. We are no longer responsible for everything like we did in the early days of the business. We are only responsible for the key parts, and the remaining details will be completed by other team members. I haven't been programming for a few months, so I am quite rusty, but after a day of running-in, I slowly got back into the groove.

I was still thinking about how to better implement a function, when suddenly my cell phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. I picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

"Did you really give birth to a child for that Rong?"

It was Shen Junhui again, "Yeah, what do you want to do? It's impossible for us!"

"How can it be impossible? You can get divorced after getting married, and you keep saying it's impossible. Didn't you break up with him last time? If I knew about this, I would have gone over and beaten him up, and then you would be mine!" Shen Junhui said complacently.

"Ouch! How come it's your turn now that I broke up with him? Are you still half asleep? Do you want to take a nap?"

"I have such good conditions, who else would you choose if not me?"

"It's not because you have better conditions that I will choose you. Love is not like buying vegetables, where you choose whoever is better. It's about the feeling."

"I have feelings for you"

“But I don’t have any feelings for you.”

"Who knows about this kind of feeling? Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future."

"I've given birth now, so I'm considered a woman. Why are you, a rich second-generation kid, always pestering me? Don't you have any beautiful girls around you?"

"Yes, there are countless people who want to throw themselves at me, but I only like you!"

"Don't waste your energy! First of all, you and I are not a good match. Secondly, I already have a child and am planning to get married. Finally, I'm three years older than you!"

"None of this is a big deal! My parents don't care about family backgrounds. They only care about whether I can be with the person I like. And having a child isn't murder or arson. It doesn't mean you're good at raising children! And isn't there a saying that goes, 'A woman three years older than a man is a treasure!'"

I really admire Shen Junhui's optimistic attitude. "Are you okay?"

"No, I'm healthy too, don't worry! If you want to have a baby with me, that's no problem!"

I was speechless. "Is there anything else I need? I'll hang up first. I still have work to finish."

"Not for now, go get busy, we'll talk next time!"

"Well, okay!" If it weren't for the fact that he was the party A and I couldn't offend him, I would have cursed him a long time ago!

We also had a lively hundred-day celebration. My dad loves his reputation, and the fact that we spent so much on such a grand celebration, and that the baby has the same surname as him, Wei, and is a boy, really made him happy. Three-month-old babies can open their eyes and interact with adults. These adorable little faces are truly endearing. Their little hands scratch around, and they smile at us. When we tease them, they smile too, and their smiles melt a mother's heart! Watching them grow, my body heals, too. The extra weight slowly shrinks, and I can dress however I want! It's truly wonderful for a woman!

My child's midnight feedings and cries would wake me up. Falling back asleep after waking was difficult, so I simply stayed awake and worked on the project. The quiet of the night allowed my mind to focus, and my work efficiency actually increased significantly, pushing the project forward. However, the consequence was that my circadian rhythm was disrupted, and I became an owl, sleeping during the day and working at night. Rong Zixuan, on the other hand, slept at night and worked during the day. We took turns caring for the child, ensuring both of us could get enough rest and study.
