Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking at Zheng Yue nestled obediently in his arms, the guilt in Nan Kang’s heart was magnified.
He sighed. “When this bidding is successful, I’ll make time to accompany you.”
Zheng Yue listened quietly. Seeing that she only smiled when he said that, and she didn’t refuse or agree. Nan Kang took it that she had tacitly agreed.
However, Zheng Yue only felt that Nan Kang was disgusting and valued this contract more than anything else.
After the bidding, he would accompany her? He abandoned her for the contract. He disregarded her life and never thought about the child.
In Nan Kang’s heart, that contract was more important than her and her son’s lives.
“It’s fine. We can meet at the company too.” Zheng Yue looked at him. “Besides, you’ve been busy for so long. You should rest well. We can also stay at home together.”
Her words were soft and pressed against Nan Kang’s heart.
Zheng Yue’s understanding of him and her consideration for his health made Nan Kang feel that Zheng Yue was more to his liking after returning this time.
Indeed, people should be taught a lesson.
Nan Kang touched Zheng Yue’s fair and round shoulder. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, indicating that he was in a good mood.
Previously, she had caused such an ugly scene with him and even tried her best to hide from him. Now, hadn’t she returned to his side obediently?
“I was insensible in the past. 1 didn’t listen to you and was so willful.” Zheng Yue took the initiative to admit it.
She took the initiative to kiss Nan Kang’s face, her face filled with sincerity and flattery.
“You’re right. It was really not suitable for me to get pregnant at that time—” Zheng Yue lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was sad.
At the mention of the child, she almost couldn’t control her emotions.
Although Zheng Yue said these words to make Nan Kang happy, she was trying her best to control herself.
In fact, the pain in her heart filled her entire body. When Zheng Yue said these words against her will, she even felt her heart bleed.
That was her child. Her only child.
Zheng Yue took a deep breath and buried her head in Nan Kang’s chest, afraid that he would see her almost uncontrollable expression.
Her voice was a little m.u.f.fled. “I’ve thought it through. I’ll listen to you in the future and never make decisions so willfully again.”
Zheng Yue’s words could be said to have taken responsibility for everything that had happened previously. She did not blame Nan Kang at all.
Moreover, her apology was so sincere that Nan Kang burst with joy and liked Zheng Yue even more.
“You’re still young.” Nan Kang hurriedly patted Zheng Yue’s head.
He hugged Zheng Yue and comforted her softly. “There will be more children in the future. If you really like them, we can have another child in the future.”
Since Zheng Yue had admitted her wrongs, Nan Kang’s att.i.tude softened.
If Zheng Yue could always be like this in the future, Nan Kang really wanted her to give birth to a child for him.
“Alright!” Zheng Yue smiled sweetly at him.
Seeing her happy expression, Nan Kang also smiled. He felt that the little girl was indeed easy to coax. She was so happy after saying a few words.
Zheng Yue’s smile was beautiful, but if one took a closer look, they would notice that there was no smile in the depths of her eyes.
Nan Kang’s words seemed to have stabbed a thorn in her heart. It didn’t hurt to the point where she wanted to die, but it constantly reminded her that she no longer had a child and couldn’t give birth anymore.
After this, Zheng Yue and Nan Kang seemed to have forgotten what had happened in the past, and their relationship became as good as before.
A few days pa.s.sed in a flash. Soon, it was Murong Qiao’s birthday banquet.
The Murong Family’s invitation had been sent out a few days ago. Almost everyone from the Murong Family would come.
This was the first time Murong Qiao was meeting so many relatives since she returned home.
“Don’t be nervous. Just treat it as attending a banquet normally.” Big Brother Murong Chen comforted her.
He raised his hand and tidied Murong Qiao’s messy hair. His tone was doting and indulgent. As the Big Brother of the family, Murong Chen was used to this.
He stood beside Murong Qiao. “You just have to remember that today is your birthday. Of course, the little birthday girl is only responsible for enjoying herself.”
This banquet was to make Murong Qiao happy. This was also Murong Chen’s goal.
As for what the people who came to the banquet were thinking, under his watch, they could not cause any trouble.
This birthday must be perfect.
“Actually, as long as Big Brothers are by my side, it’s enough for me to be happy for a long time.” Murong Qiao gently said her thoughts.
After leaving the Nan family, regaining family ties was more important to Murong Qiao than anything else.
“Young Miss, the banquet will start in 20 minutes. In addition, the gown has already arrived. Do you want to wear it now?” Uncle Yang knocked on the door.
Gown? Murong Qiao immediately remembered what Fourth Brother had said previously.
She got up. “I’m coming.”
Seeing this, Murong Chen naturally could not keep her. He walked out to make room for his Little Sister to change.
However, what Murong Qiao said just now was still in his heart and Murong Chen cared.
When Murong Qiao walked to the door, he saw Uncle Yang waiting with a gift box in his hand.
“This is…?” She looked puzzled.
Uncle Yang explained, “Fourth Young Master gave you a set of matching jewelry.”
How could a gown be enough? When Yan Xiu was designing the dress, he had already thought of what jewelry to use for Murong Qiao.
No one understood the clothes he designed better than Yan Xiu.
“Alright, I’ll try it.” Murong Qiao carefully took the gift box.
When she heard Yan Xiu say that he would personally design a gown for her, Murong Qiao was already very happy. She did not expect him to be so meticulous as to prepare a complete set for her.
About 15 minutes after changing into the gown, Murong Qiao walked out of the changing room.
“Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, where’s Little Sister?” Xian Yu, who had just returned home, ran upstairs and asked.
He had been a little busy these past few days, so he could only rush back during the banquet.
Looking at the energetic Fifth Young Master, Uncle Yang helplessly rolled his eyes. “Young Miss is changing her clothes…”
When Uncle Yang answered, Xian Yu had already seen the person he was looking for.
He was so shocked that he could not make a sound.
At this moment, Xian Yu’s mind was blank and he couldn’t find any words to describe it.
Little Sister was even better-looking than the various female celebrities he had seen in the entertainment industry.
Murong Qiao walked out of the changing room with her dress and occupied Xian Yu’s entire vision.
The dress featured a large expanse of pure white as its base, spreading out elegantly with a delicate and translucent quality, akin to soft mist, all covered by a thin veil. With each step Murong Qiao took, there was a faint glimpse of shimmering radiance.
What caught his attention were the three or four fiery red spots on the skirt. With Xianyu Liang’s keen eyesight, he could immediately tell that they were in the shape of rose petals, intricately embroidered onto the hem of the skirt. They scattered along the waistline, creating an illusion of falling even though they stood still, giving viewers a sense of drifting enchantment.
“…So beautiful.” Xian Yu was silent for a long time before he finally said this.
He recognized that this was Fourth Brother Yan Xiu’s design style and felt that he was performing steadily as usual.
But normally, not many models could pull off Yan Xiu’s design. No matter how strong their aura was, it felt like something was missing.
However, when he saw the dress Murong Qiao was wearing today, Xian Yu felt that this gown was tailor-made for her. It accentuated every glimmer on Murong Qiao’s body to the fullest, making this rose bloom fervently and radiantly, emitting a rich and fragrant aroma..
