Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Autumn passes and winter comes.

Xiang Ran's belly gradually became visible, but from behind, her waist was still slender, and she didn't look pregnant at all.

One evening, Sheng Yang's mother came to visit. As she left, she held Sheng Yang's hand and said flatteringly, "Your wife should be having a boy this time. Her belly is pointed and doesn't look bulky at all."

Sheng Yang frowned, "Mother, please don't say this in front of Grandpa and Auntie. Isn't it the same whether it's a boy or a girl?"

"How can it be the same? If you were a girl back then, you might have been abandoned at your grandmother's house!"

Sheng Yang gave his mother a cold look: "That's right, but why was I left at my grandmother's house? Can't I stay with you, mother?"

After being retorted by him, Jiang Yu was unwilling to pay any more attention to him.

As she walked, she kept nagging, "I'm just trying to save your wife from suffering. It would be best if she had a boy. Otherwise, Grandpa and the others would always hope that she would give birth to a boy. Don't be ungrateful."

Sheng Yang glanced upstairs to confirm his wife was away. "Whether or not to have children in the future is something Yiqing and I will decide on our own. Yiqing is pregnant now, and her mood swings are quite high. If Mother wants to gossip about this, we can ask Xiaofu to get the fish maw and goose eggs today, so you don't have to come all the way here."

"You, you, you..." Jiang Yu turned around and pointed at his nose, "You're almost going to be a father, and you talk to your mother like that. Now that you're the chairman, do you not take your mother seriously anymore?"

Sheng Yang put on his coat and said, "Sorry, I have a conference call, so I won't be able to see my mother off. But I'm just confused. Isn't that how I always talk?"

-

The couple lay in bed at night. Today Xiang Ran was not hypnotized by him because today's prenatal education was singing.

The song was sung by Xiang Ran herself.

The song is "A Laugh in the Ocean".

Sheng Yang asked, "What if it's a girl? Is this song suitable for her?"

Xiang Ran was anxious: "What's inappropriate? If it's a girl, I hope she can practice martial arts!"

"So, wife, do you hope to have a boy or a girl?"

"It must be a boy. Your whole family hopes it's a boy, right?" Xiang Ran asked.

Sheng Yang shook his head: "No, I hope it's a girl, because if it's a daughter lying next to you and you go to tuck her in in the middle of the night, I might hold back my jealousy."

"I hope it's a boy. I want a boy myself, so I won't feel bad about the abortion."

I mean what I say.

In fact, she felt that if she gave birth to a daughter, it would be best for her to stay with her mother. If she wanted to move away at that time, it would probably be difficult for her to let go.

If it was his son, he might be more ruthless to throw it to Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang himself is a boy, so he must have his own way of educating boys. The Sheng family has such a business empire and network resources, which is undoubtedly the best for the children.

Suddenly Xiang Ran got up and said in a trembling voice, "It's moving..."

"What...what moved?" Sheng Yang looked at her, a little at a loss.

"Child," she said.

He sighed in relief and placed his hand on her stomach.

Xiang Ran's face lit up with joy: "It's been more than four months, it should be fetal movement..."

Sheng Yang froze there, his large hand resting on her belly through her pajamas. He held his breath, concentrating, but for a long moment, there was no movement.

In the quiet night, he could feel his wife's body trembling slightly with her breathing...

He smiled and patted her belly gently, saying, "Stinky baby, move a little."

Strangely enough, it seemed to move again.

"Did you move again just now?" Xiang Ran asked him with wide eyes.

Sheng Yang pondered: "It seems, it seems that it moved just now..."

They both laughed.

There was no reason for two adults to be tied down by a fetus. Sheng Yang hugged her and said, "Don't worry about the child. Let's go to sleep first."

"Ah."

"Tomorrow night, I'll come back early to take you to grandpa's house for dinner."

"Oh. Goodnight, hubby."

"Goodnight wife."

five minutes later......

"Sheng Yang, why did you lift the quilt? You woke me up..."

"If you didn't open your eyes, how did you know I lifted the quilt?" Sheng Yang looked aggrieved, and he had already moved very gently.

"Do you feel warm?"

The man doesn't speak.

His breathing seemed a little unstable.

He suddenly reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, then sat up.

Look at her.

Then start taking off your pajamas.

"What are you...doing? Today is a full moon night, are you going to turn into a werewolf?" Xiang Ran asked, grabbing the quilt.

But Sheng Yang got into her quilt without saying a word and started kissing her.

"Silly boy, it's the heat." He slowed down his movements. "Professor Zhao said that in four months, we can..."

"Oh?" Xiang Ran smiled, "Then you better be careful."

"Well, I know...Qianqian. Don't worry."

After all, Sheng Yang is a young man full of vigor and his love for his wife has never diminished.

At this moment, he had to admit that some of what his mother said was right.

Although Xiang Ran was pregnant, her belly did not grow horizontally. From the back, she looked no different from before, but instead had a more charming look.

The light from the floor lamp was dim, and her voice sounded like a whisper.

Sheng Yang restrained himself and only touched lightly, not daring to be too presumptuous.

Just pinching her...

-

The next morning, both young men felt refreshed, especially Xiang Ran, whose face was glowing.

Sheng Yang looked at it and felt a little itchy again.

But thinking of being more restrained, I can only go to work first.

-

We had dinner at Sheng's house.

But before dinner, Sheng Yimin called the young couple to the study.

Sheng Yimin chatted with Xiang Ran about Traditional Chinese Medicine and health care for a while, then he smiled and pulled out a gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones from a drawer and gave it to Xiang Ran. "Sheng Yang's mother knows this. It's a bracelet left by Sheng Yang's great-grandmother. It's from the Republic of China, so it can be considered a family heirloom."

Xiang Ran took it and knew at a glance that the gold jewelry was quite old.

It is carved with patterns of bamboo and flowers, with pink gems and turquoise. Although it is an old item, it still looks pretty good.

"Grandpa, is this pink tourmaline?"

Sheng Yimin: "My mother said it was a coral bead. Can you try it on and let me see it?"

Xiang Ran reached in and it fit perfectly.

Her wrists were originally thinner, but they have become a little fatter due to the recent weight gain.

Sheng Yang had also seen this bracelet when he was a child. Once, his cousin Sheng Mian took him to look for treasures in his grandmother's drawer. After taking it out and looking at it, the two children finally ran to the adults to ask who the bracelet would be passed on to in the future.

Although children speak without restraint, my grandmother said at the time that she would pass it on to Sheng Mian later, and my aunt and grandfather heard it.

Of course Sheng Yang also remembered it.

Mother Jiang Yu was very angry about this, saying that Sheng Yang's father Sheng Yu was the eldest son and the throne should be passed on to Sheng Yang.

But Sheng Yang didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, Sheng Mian is a few months older than him and is also his uncle's biological son, so it doesn't matter if he passes the throne to Sheng Mian.

He didn't care about this.

But if I wear it out later, it might not be nice if my aunt sees it.

So he said to Xiang Ran, "Why don't you take it off first and put it on later?"

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yimin glared at Sheng Yang. "Do you think Yiqing doesn't look good in it?"

"No, no! They are very beautiful. They are all auspicious patterns with good meanings." Xiang Ran said hurriedly.

Sheng Yimin finally smiled with satisfaction. He said to Sheng Yang, "I really enjoy chatting with Yiqing. You should bring her to dinner more often next time. You guys go to the restaurant first. I'll change into my reading glasses and come out soon."

-

After leaving, Xiang Ran quietly asked Sheng Yang: "Do you want to take off the bracelet? Is it very valuable?"

"Its value is secondary, but...I remember when I was little, my grandmother said this bracelet was for Sheng Mian."

"Ah? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then I'll take it down right away."

Sheng Yang held her back and said, "No, since Grandpa told you to wear it, it would be an insult to him if you don't wear it during dinner. So just wear it."

But he thought in his heart that although his grandfather was serious and old-fashioned, he was actually smart and flexible in his methods. Over the years, his father and uncle did not have such a big disagreement, and he was able to grow up safely in the Sheng family, which was inseparable from the old man's ability to "keep the balance".

How come now that you're older, you become more independent?
