Ex-Husband CEO, Stop Messing Around!-Chapter 451 - 417: Buying a Ticket to Happiness (Yan Nuan’s Marriage Registration)
After the joy, lying on the bed, snuggling against each other, Wen Nuan’s face was stained with unmistakable happiness, sweet and captivating.
"Nuannuan."
Leng Yan gently called her, teasing her hair.
"Hmm?" Wen Nuan responded, her eyes flowing with tender affection, her gaze sweeping over her belly either intentionally or unintentionally, and she smiled along: "Yan, are you thinking about the baby? Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
She thought, this is a question every couple asks during pregnancy. Although it lacks novelty, feeling happy is a kind of ordinary happiness that seems mundane but is actually beautiful.
"I like both, what about you?" Without a second thought, Leng Yan replied, then asked her back. His fingers began to comb through her hair, the silky feeling brushing against his arm, tickling yet reluctant to brush it off.
His original intention had never changed; as long as it’s their child, he would love it, whether boy or girl, he would be a good father, a good husband.
Every day, feeling a little more of her, life was radiant, beautiful, and filled him with vigor. Never again did he dwell in gloom like before. He didn’t know that recently, the topic most often discussed among Leng Group employees during breaks was him and Nuannuan.
After hearing their story from his driver, Xiaojing, everyone longed for it; the story had a faint sadness, but there was sweetness after the hardships. Most importantly, after all this time, they still loved each other, making people both envious and jealous.
"I like both too."
Wen Nuan smiled sweetly, chatting about mundane topics with Leng Yan, falling asleep without realizing it, only waking up when the sky was bright. They exchanged a glance, and the mutual understanding was evident in their gaze. Almost simultaneously, their lips met in a sweet good morning kiss, where happiness began to reflect.
"Why aren’t you going to work yet?"
During breakfast, supervised by him, she ate a lot, and Wen Nuan curiously watched him sit leisurely, without the slightest intention of leaving.
"I heard that pregnant women might occasionally become forgetful and silly. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I finally do."
Leng Yan squinted his eyes, teasing her gently.
Wen Nuan pretended to wave her fist at him, watching as he took out some things, she then remembered something important.
"I actually forgot such an important thing."
She embarrassedly stuck out her tongue, taking the items from Leng Yan and carefully checking them: "Are all things ready?"
"Bringing the wife means everything is ready."
Leng Yan’s smile was playful.
Today was an important day; it was the day they planned to go get their marriage certificate.
"Getting married because of a baby?"
At the Civil Affairs Bureau, the staff curiously glanced at Wen Nuan. Embarrassed by the gaze, her face suddenly turned red.
She regretted not wearing Korean style clothes in haste, making her belly look somewhat conspicuous.
With the corner of his eye catching Wen Nuan’s blush, Leng Yan wrapped his arm around her waist, smiling and saying, "It’s all my fault for making a mistake, getting on the bus before buying the ticket, now we’re just making up for it."
"Your skin is getting thicker."
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but punch Leng Yan lightly, the flush on her face still not completely faded. She looked at her belly, slightly regretting: "Yan, the wedding has to be postponed until after the baby is born. In my condition, I can’t wear a wedding dress."
"It’s okay; it can be anytime. Anyway, you are now officially mine, so put your mind at ease. Let’s let the baby attend our wedding and be a witness to our love by then."
Leng Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile, opening the marriage certificate to show their sweet photo, the smile on his handsome face as melting as it could thaw winter’s snow, he announced loudly as he looked at Wen Nuan: "From now on, I, Leng Yan, truly have a wife."
"Beautiful, isn’t it?" Wen Nuan gently nudged his arm, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Yan, you really got a bargain."
"Hmm?"
Leng Yan didn’t react for a moment.
"Buy one, get one free."
Wen Nuan placed his hand on her belly, slowly spreading a smile.
The first thing they did was go to the hospital, handing the marriage certificate to Leng Siyan on the hospital bed. Seeing this son, who he used to not favor, finding happiness, Leng Siyan’s eyes were slightly moist: "Dad didn’t do well, making you both suffer."
"Dad, don’t say that."
Leng Yan said with a heartache, handing him tissues: "I know to make Nuannuan forgive me, even when you were ill, you went to find Nuannuan’s father, which moved me greatly."
Nuannuan found out the day after she returned from the United States, from Wen Qingyan’s mouth.
Leng Siyan sent Li Qiu away, fooled the nurse, and secretly left the hospital to find Wen Qingyan to plead for his son.
"It was Qingyan’s kindness not to make things difficult for me, otherwise, after the Leng Family treated them so poorly, he would’ve certainly humiliated me greatly." Leng Siyan sighed: "As for my illness, you don’t have to hide it anymore, I already know. I’ve come to terms with it, life and death are a matter of fate, I will cooperate well with the doctors, as for whether heaven will pity me, that’s up to it."
"Dad." Leng Yan called him somewhat emotionally, hearing his voice slightly hoarse, handed him a glass of water, and helped him sit properly: "Have some water."
"Okay." Nearly trembling, Leng Siyan took the cup, his old eyes showing sadness: "Yan, it was Dad’s fault in the past. Always feeling I owed Ye’s mother, so I couldn’t help but favor him."
"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Leng Yan shook his head, but was stopped by Leng Siyan: "I won’t live much longer; there are some things I want to tell you. After hearing my story, please don’t hold Ye responsible; it’s ultimately my fault."
Li Qiu and Wen Nuan left the ward, giving Leng Yan and Leng Siyan some space.
"Li..."
Wen Nuan stood with Li Qiu, still feeling a bit awkward. The moment she opened her mouth to call her aunt, she immediately stopped. Seeing Li Qiu’s kind face, she softly called, "Mom."
"Good child."
Li Qiu’s eyes were slightly moist, holding Wen Nuan’s hands tightly: "Mom still has to apologize to you, because I made you suffer."
"Don’t say these things." Wen Nuan shook her head, respecting the person Yan respected most.
Glancing at the closed door, she curiously asked, "As Leng Family’s eldest son, why did the elder brother do such a thing? I find it strange. And also, why did Dad choose to forgive him?"
"I just found out too, actually, your dad also knows."
Li Qiu smiled helplessly, softly speaking.
On the way out of the hospital, Leng Yan was a bit silent, his eyes tinged with a hint of sigh.
"What did Dad say?"
Nuannuan, feeling a little hungry, found a dessert shop to sit down, sipping porridge as she asked Leng Yan.
