My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Chapter 156: Endure for More Than 9 Months

Zhou Qiyue really likes Lu Xiaoqiao. If her brother hadn't intercepted her, she really wanted to adopt Xiaoqiao as her goddaughter.

However, it is said that an elder sister is like a mother, so it is not wrong to treat her sister-in-law as a daughter. Thinking of this, she reached out and hugged Lu Xiaoqiao.

"My silly little Qiao, how can a wedding be simple? It only happens once in a lifetime, so you must have the one you love the most. Take your pick from these, they are all designed exclusively by designers, and I guarantee you won't have the same one as anyone else."

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and finally, at Zhou Qiyue's instigation, chose a wedding with a crystal and flower theme.

After making her selection, Lu Xiaoqiao hesitated again. The flowers in the picture were imported flowers that she had never seen before. The cost of decorating such a large wedding venue would definitely be staggering.

"Why don't we try a different flower? This one's been used too much!"

Zhou Qiyue snatched the tablet away and said firmly, "Let's settle on this. Your husband has money, why would he keep it if he doesn't spend it? If you help him spend it, he'll have the motivation to earn more money."

After finalizing the wedding, Zhao Yaqin came over to inquire about Lu Xiaoqiao's family: "Xiaoqiao, your brother's family only has one boy, right?"

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded and agreed: "Yes, aunt."

She saw Zhao Yaqin wearing reading glasses, which she rarely used, and holding a lot of lists in her hands. She didn't know what she was checking, so she asked her curiously, "What are you busy with, auntie?"

Zhao Yaqin smiled and replied, "Auntie is giving you the betrothal gift!"

Seeing that everyone was busy with the wedding and marriage proposals, Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Qiyue with something to say but hesitated.

Zhou Qiyue saw that she had something to say: "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Lu Xiaoqiao whispered, "The day after tomorrow is Qingming Festival, and we haven't prepared any offerings for Mom's grave."

When Zhou Qiyue heard this, he was stunned at first, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a gentle ripple appeared in his eyes.

She stroked Lu Xiaoqiao's head and said, "Don't worry, no one has forgotten. Everything has been prepared long ago. If Mom knew that Qi Zheng was getting married, she would be so happy."

Lu Xiaoqiao felt relieved only after she was sure that everyone had not forgotten.

Everyone was very busy, and she was the only one who had free time. She either slept or ate all day long. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to fit into her wedding dress on the wedding day.

……

Zhou Qizhen hadn't been to the company for two days. A lot of things had piled up and he was so busy that he didn't even come back for dinner.

When he got home in the evening, Lu Xiaoqiao had already woken up.

She sat up from the bed, a little sleepy, rubbed her eyes, and said softly: "What time is it?"

Zhou Qizheng thought that it was the sound of him opening the door or walking that woke her up, and said with some self-blame: "It's almost ten o'clock! Did I wake you up?"

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head: "No, I woke up because I had to pee."

Zhou Qi was laughing softly, and Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little embarrassed: "What are you laughing at? I didn't want to do this. I went there before going to bed, but I don't know why I still wanted to go."

Zhou Qizhen helped her put on her slippers and asked her to go take care of it first while he went to the cloakroom to change his outer clothes.

Lu Xiaoqiao came out of the bathroom, and he went back in to wash up. When he came out, he saw that she was still awake. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

After he finished speaking, he got on the bed, hugged Lu Xiaoqiao, and took a deep breath on her neck and shoulders: "What a nice smell!"

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled like a little fox: "The doctor said no, so Mr. Zhou, just bear with it!"

Only then did Zhou Qizhen realize the trouble that his wife's pregnancy would bring, and he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

Lu Xiaoqiao suppressed a smile and said, "It's just nine more months."

Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows, then said seriously: "I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that if the fetus is in the right position, it is okay to conceive at four to six months."

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a hundred years and sat up in bed: "You asked the doctor about this?"

Zhou Qizheng folded his hands behind his head, with a matter-of-fact expression: "What's the big deal? It's a normal thing."

Lu Xiaoqiao glared at him and said coquettishly, "You are shameless and indecent."

Zhou Qizheng glanced at her while lying there, and said with a wicked smile: "You are pregnant now, otherwise I would let you know how shameless and indecent I am."

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't respond to him, but muttered, "You all are busy, and I'm the only one with nothing to do. It's so boring."

After all these things happened, Zhou Qizhen couldn't let her go back to work. Besides, the nature of her current job required her to go out frequently, which was indeed not suitable for her.

Zhou Qizheng hurriedly sat up and hugged her, saying comfortingly: "Do you have any career dreams? You can write a plan now and complete it after the baby is born."

Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "My dreams are all related to art design. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a painter and designing beautiful clothes."

At this point, Lu Xiaoqiao seemed to recall something and laughed as she continued, "When I was little, a neighbor's kid gave me a Barbie doll they didn't want anymore. I made a lot of different clothes for it using scraps of fabric we didn't have at home. But the neighbor's kid thought it looked good and asked for it back. I cried my heart out at that time."

Zhou Qi was hugging Lu Xiaoqiao from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder, his warm big hands pressed against her lower abdomen.

"You can design clothes for our baby now."

Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, "I can study first and make a schedule like you said. After I give birth, I will set up a studio and register a children's clothing brand. Honey, can you invest in me then?"

Zhou Qizheng looked into her sparkling eyes and kissed her lips: "Okay, I will invest in my wife when the time comes."

Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly had a plan for her life and became happy: "By the way, I haven't told my aunt about my pregnancy yet."

Zhou Qizheng let her lie on the pillow, then hugged her and said, "Have you submitted your resignation?"

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head: "Not yet, then when should I bring it up? I guess I'll bring it up after Lin Lin does."

"Wait until I come back from your marriage proposal! Then your husband will go with you."

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Will you accompany me to Chenxin?"

"Well, go to sleep quickly! You'll have more energy to study tomorrow."

"Ah."

……

Qingming Festival passed in a flash.

The day arrived when the Zhou family was about to set out to Lu Xiaoqiao's home to propose marriage.

Zhou's father and Zhou Qiyue were bound to go. Zhao Yaqin didn't expect that Zhou Qizhen would let her go with him, and her eyes were red with joy.

The five people took a plane to the provincial capital. After getting off the plane, they took a pre-arranged car to the small county town where Lu Xiaoqiao lived.

Because Lu Xiaoqiao was pregnant and the journey was long, Zhou Qizhen specially arranged a comfortable nanny car.
