Chapter 1373: Pink Bubbles
Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: Pink Bubbles
An Bai spent the New Year at the Meng Family, playing the role of the younger generation with full zeal and treating Meng Shuqing so well that even Si Yu found it hard to be critical.
“How about it? Didn’t I say Xiao Bai is a good catch?” Tang Yue looked at her son-in-law with satisfaction, becoming more and more pleased the more she looked, and was similarly optimistic about the relationship between Meng Shuqing and An Bai.
“Everything’s fine before marriage, but who knows what happens after?” At this moment, Si Yu was just nitpicking.
Tang Yue was so annoyed that she didn’t want to acknowledge him. She said, “Si Yu, we’ve been married for so many years, how do you think it’s been?”
Si Yu felt a pang in his heart seeing Tang Yue’s obvious displeasure. Hugging her tightly, he said with a strong survival instinct, “Honey, you’re right. If Xiao Bai dares to mistreat Chenchen, I’ll be the first to confront him.”
“That’s more like it. I’m already quite satisfied with Xiao Bai’s efforts so far.” Tang Yue was genuinely pleased with An Bai.
As for her daughter, naturally, she hoped she would have a life filled with happiness and harmony. Whenever Shuqing and An Bai were together, things always felt comfortable and natural. After they marry, they’ll undoubtedly be happy.
Moreover, her daughter hasn’t fully understood things yet, and Xiao Bai is already so fond of her. Once Chenchen truly grasps what love and marriage mean and begins to manage it well, undoubtedly, her days ahead will be prosperous.
To add, she knows Bai Qing’s temperament well. Having watched Chenchen grow up since childhood, Bai Qing practically treats her like her own daughter, so there likely won’t be any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts in the future.
If not this family, then what kind?
Even if Xiao Bai does dare to bully Chenchen, Si Yu would surely be the first to confront him!
And Tang Yue, over these years, has also become quite influential within the fashion design world, plus there’s her younger brother’s fashion factory and the Lian Family!
Meng Shulang rushed home on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar New Year.
“Xiao Bai, come, let’s spar a bit.”
Upon meeting, Meng Shulang pulled An Bai into a room for a match. After an invigorating sparring session, they were evenly matched.
Finally, lying exhausted on the floor, Meng Shulang said, “If you marry a girl from the Meng Family, you must treat her right for a lifetime.”
“Of course, there’s no word for ‘divorce’ in my vocabulary,” An Bai said solemnly, “Zaozao, I can’t promise eternity, but as long as I’m alive, no one will bully Chenchen, not even me.”
“Alas.”
Meng Shulang sighed, saying, “Why did Chenchen choose you?”
Although Chenchen hadn’t said as much, being her twin, Meng Shulang knew well that Chenchen felt differently about An Bai, though she couldn’t make sense of it herself, they outsiders could see clearly.
Otherwise, irrespective of how good An Bai is, Meng Shulang would never let Chenchen marry someone she doesn’t love.
“Why isn’t she allowed to like me?” Hearing this got An Bai to sit up straight, saying, “Zaozao, aren’t we brothers?”
“Just drop it, you should call me brother from now on.” At the thought of this, Meng Shulang grinned, saying, “Come on, call me brother, let’s hear it?”
“Brother.”
An Bai was more than willing to change the way he addressed him.
Meng Shulang: “…”
“Don’t be so quick to change. Our Chenchen hasn’t agreed to marry you yet; only when you win her over can we talk.” Seeing his friend deflated, Meng Shulang felt delighted.
“Well, Chenchen and I are already dating!”
An Bai reminded him, as long as he has time, Chenchen will certainly admit their relationship herself.
“How come Mom and Dad haven’t said anything about it then? I didn’t know either.” Meng Shulang looked at him, half smiling. If he really returned as her boyfriend, his dad wouldn’t just stand idle.
An Bai: “…”
…
“Happy New Year.”
An Bai accompanied Meng Shuqing to ring in the New Year, even while nestled on the couch watching the Spring Festival Gala, it felt blissful.
“Happy New Year.”
Meng Shuqing quietly placed a set of clothes she made herself in An Bai’s room, saying, “For you, it’s a New Year’s gift.”
“Chenchen, you made this? It’s gorgeous, thank you.” An Bai looked at the clothes, feeling nothing but sheer happiness.
On the first day of the New Year, Chenchen had already given him a New Year gift.
“Thank you for the New Year red envelope too.” Meng Shuqing said with a grin. Concerning the matters about the team, An Bai had arranged things thoroughly. Without An Bai, she’d be powerless, as she was clueless in that area.
“I’ll make you a New Year red envelope every year from now on.”
Looking at her endearing face, An Bai wished to gaze at it for a lifetime.
“I’m sleepy, good night.”
Having delivered her gift, Meng Shuqing yawned and returned to sleep.
It was already the wee hours by now.
During Zheng Yue, Meng Shuqing’s home was lively all the way until after the Lantern Festival when An Bai eventually returned to Beiyang with Meng Shuqing.
An Bai pondered on how to deepen his relationship with Chenchen?
That day wasn’t kept waiting for long.
Spring in March brought renewal to the world.
“Chenchen, you and An Bai are progressing too slowly.” Jian Xing accompanies Meng Shuqing while shopping, planning to buy a set of clothes for Aunt Xu as a gift for her recovery.
After recovering, Aunt Xu rested for several more months and has now completely regained her health.
During these months, Jian Xing treated Aunt Xu extremely well, increasing her contact with Xu Fang, and their relationship grew closer until finally breaking through the last layer of ambiguity with lightning speed, the two began a romantic relationship.
Jian Xing felt like she was immersed in bliss, even when she smiled, it seemed like she was surrounded by pink bubbles.
“Do you think everyone progresses as quickly as you two?” Meng Shuqing cleared her throat, curiously looking at Jian Xing as she asked, “Could it be you’ll marry before graduation?”
Nowadays, once you’ve reached the legal age, you can marry even while in college as long as it doesn’t affect your studies.
“I plan to obtain my diploma by mid-next year. Then I’ll…” Jian Xing shrugged, saying, “It depends on Xu Fang.”
If Xu Fang proposes then, she’d certainly accept!
Xu Fang is five years older than her and, despite having less family background, he’s excellent in every aspect and caters to her every whim. Anyway, in the future, they can earn a living themselves, assuring that their lives will be well off.
“Diploma by mid-next year?” Meng Shuqing considered this and thought it would be quite fine. Xiao Bai, who is a year older than her, had not only obtained a bachelor’s diploma but was close to obtaining a master’s degree too.
“Yeah, do you want to join in?” Jian Xing proposed that they go crazy together with a partner.
“Okay.”
After agreeing, Meng Shuqing reduced her gaming time and spent her days with Jian Xing, investing herself in academics.
This day, Meng Shuqing caught a bit of rain and got a cold, lying in bed with a fever of thirty-eight degrees. She felt stuffed up and uncomfortable all over.
“Drink some porridge and get plenty of rest.” An Bai brought a doctor over, had medicine prescribed for Meng Shuqing, and constantly cared for her.
