Chapter 2095: Full Moon Banquet (1)
Under Qi Lei’s meticulous care, Dongfang Liuyun recovered very quickly.
However, she still needed to stay in the hospital for more than 20 days before she could be discharged.
A few days after she was discharged, it was the children’s full moon banquet, Qi Lei planned to have a small affair at home.
Although it was said to be a small affair, everyone knew the kind of status Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun had. The Qi family and Dongfang family held a very high position in the entire City Z, especially in the upper-class society, so there were quite a number of people visiting at this time.
They could not let these things disturb Dongfang Liuyun and the children’s rest.
After some consideration, Qi Lei booked the entire luxurious hotel near the Grand Lake Villa area to hold this full moon banquet.
Mu Yuchen, Xi Xiaye, and her husband rushed over with the children and their entire family. Su Chen and Ji Zitong also brought their daughter over, while Zhou Zimo and Qin Su came very early.
Leng Xinran did not plan to come, but because of Lan Xiu’s insistence, she had no choice but to go along with him.
In any case, the fiancés often went to various occasions like this, so she was used to it.
Leng Xinran drank a few glasses of wine and then went to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, when she washed her hands, she ran into Qin Su who was puking in front of the sink.
There was no smell of alcohol on her body. Zhou Zimo had also warned her not to eat the food on the table just now. Leng Xinran did not need to think to know that Qin Su had good news.
“How do you feel now? Rinse your mouth.”
Leng Xinran passed a glass of warm water and said with concern.
Qin Su spat out another mouthful, before she calmed herself down, then took the water and rinsed her mouth a few times. She felt a little limp. “I really didn’t know that it would be so tough being pregnant. It feels more tiring than fighting,” Qin Su said weakly.
“How many months has it been? I didn’t hear you mention it before.”
Leng Xinran’s face was filled with a faint gentleness as she asked.
“More than two months. I didn’t notice it before. You know that my period is uncertain too, especially when I’m tired, that’s why I didn’t remember it. Only in these past few days, I went for a check-up when there was a reaction. It was true that I was indeed pregnant. Zhou Zimo, that bastard, he said that he would wait for next year.”
“It’s not too far away from next year now. I can tell that he treats you quite well. Moreover, this will happen sooner or later. Your child won’t be like you and me, don’t need to worry too much.”
Leng Xinran naturally knew Qin Su’s thoughts. She was also a little afraid of children because of the trauma from her childhood. Naturally, she did not wish for such a thing to happen to her child.
“Moreover, you have been married for almost a year.”
“Almost a year? Has it been that quick?”
When Leng Xinran said this, Qin Su was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed so. It had been almost a year. Liang Jing, Zhou Zhenjun, and the old man had been waiting for her eagerly. Liang Jing had also prepared a lot of nourishing meals for her.
“What do you think?”
Leng Xinran smiled calmly.
“What about you? You and Lan Xiu have been engaged for a while. When do you plan to get married? Now that you’re living together, you might not be so safe every time. Look at me. Zhou Zimo and I…”
Qin Su looked at Leng Xinran meaningfully.
Leng Xinran glanced at her and said unhappily, “Can Lan Xiu and I be the same as you and Zhou Zimo? Everyone knows how Zhou Zimo feels about you, but Lan Xiu and I… I’m just staying at his place to make it more convenient. We don’t have the relationship you think we have.”
“You’re just too rational. I was the same as you before, but I got used to it after interacting with him for a long time. Xinran, I actually can’t imagine what it would be like if you, Leng Xinran, really fell in love with a man. I’m a little worried now, would I be able to witness this scene in my lifetime?”
Qin Su knew Leng Xinran’s personality too well. He also knew that Leng Xinran was not with Lan Xiu because of love. However, Qin Su still hoped that Leng Xinran would be able to obtain love, because this might be the only thing that could make Leng Xinran happy.
When Leng Xinran heard this, she smiled disapprovingly, “Since you’ve already said so, then don’t hold any hope in your heart. I feel that my current life is pretty good. There aren’t too many waves. Ye Xiaolian’s lackeys have also been wiped out by Lan Xiu and me. The Leng family is very peaceful. Lan Xiu and I also take care of each other and let nature take its course.”
“I know that Lan Xiu loved Dongfang Liuyun very much, but now you’ve seen it too. Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei are so in love and have even given birth to a pair of cute twins. You can’t be hung up over this, right?”
Hearing this, Leng Xinran’s smile widened slightly. She shook her head gently, “It’s not that I mind. He has his past, and I have my past too. To pursue this would be unfair treatment towards each other. Besides, Dongfang Liuyun is indeed a pretty good woman. There’s no chance for them to be together, but that doesn’t mean Lan Xiu and I will fall in love with each other. Don’t doubt it Qin Su, this is our current situation, we treat each other with mutual respect and interact with ease.”
“You guys…”
Qin Su was a little surprised by Leng Xinran’s words.
“Don’t think too much. We should be able to continue our relationship, he thinks the same way. We’re already so old. I don’t have that much time to pursue too many things. Although those things have nothing to do with age, my heart is getting old.”
“You’re only 30, Xinran!”
Qin Su reprimanded her in a low voice, “You’re the one who’s worn yourself out.”
“On your father’s side…”
“He’s fine. After Ye Xiaolian lost her power, she’s been quite well-behaved. Now that there’s news about a kidney, he’s waiting for the hospital to do a further check.”
Regarding Leng Mingyi’s matter, even though Leng Xinran was cold to him, she still put in a lot of effort on this matter. Lan Xiu also helped out quite a bit.
“Mm, it’s been a long time since I’ve gone to visit Auntie. I’ll go with Zhou Zimo this weekend to take a look. You should be going this weekend too, right? It’s Auntie’s birthday.”
“You’re even more concerned about this than I am. She’s been much more sober recently, so she’s also asking about you. Since that’s the case, then let’s go together this weekend. Are you sure your body is okay?”
Leng Xinran glanced at Qin Su’s flat stomach, still a little worried.
“Don’t worry, I’m in great health. I just have some reactions, it’ll be fine as long as I’m careful and I’ll let Zhou Zimo drive over. I’ll even bring some osmanthus cakes that Auntie likes.”
“Mm, what about Uncle and Auntie? Have they reconciled recently?” Leng Xinran asked as she helped Qin Su out of the bathroom.
“They’re still the same. It’s just that the frequency of their quarrels has been a little lower recently. They’ve changed it to mocking each other. I rarely go back, but Zhou Zimo often acts as a peacemaker.”
Speaking of this matter, Qin Su also felt a headache coming on. That old couple had quarreled for decades. How could they change all of a sudden?
