The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife - Chapter 262
In August, Rong City was sweltering. Shen Yin was three months pregnant and had started to feel drowsy often. Xu Xiuhe would return home before 8 PM every evening.
Upon arriving home, his first task was to bathe Zhengzheng. After that, he would put Zhengzheng to sleep, and then take a bath with Shen Yin.
Since Shen Yin became pregnant, he had become particularly sensitive, not daring to let her go to the bathroom alone. His reason was that the bathroom was too slippery and unsafe.
After bathing Shen Yin, he would then lull her to sleep. It was simple: he would massage her legs and rub her waist to prevent her from feeling tired or uncomfortable during the night.
Fang Yue often shuttled between two places. Initially, she wanted to go to Ziyue Manor to take care of Shen Yin, but Shen Yin didn’t agree. If Fang Yue came, Shen Tianzheng would certainly not be able to manage alone at home.
Fang Yue seemed to have thought of this concern, so she suggested that their family of three move to Yuelan Manor to live, as the house was big enough to accommodate them.
But Shen Yin had concerns again. Putting aside whether Xu Xiuhe would be willing or not, she didn’t really want to go to Yuelan Manor. Firstly, it was too far from Heyuan Group. If they went there, Xu Xiuhe would have to spend 4 hours commuting to and from the company every day, which was an hour and a half more than before. It wasn’t realistic; it would be too exhausting for him.
Shen Yin refused again, but Fang Yue insisted on taking care of her. So, she came every other day. In reality, when she came, there wasn’t much for her to do. The house had several housekeepers, all carefully selected and hired at a high price by Xu Xiuhe.
So when Fang Yue came to Ziyue Manor, she would play with Zhengzheng, keep Shen Yin company to prevent her from getting bored, chat with her, and prepare some desserts for her.
“Mom, have you and Dad always had such a good relationship?” Shen Yin asked, eating the fruit Fang Yue had peeled for her.
“Haven’t I told you before? Relationships are often cultivated over time. Married couples need to nurture their relationship. Don’t worry, your relationship with Xiuhe will only get better in the future. Xiuhe is a sentimental person.”
Fang Yue felt that while she might not excel in other areas, she had a particularly good eye for men.
Xu Xiuhe was quietly making big moves. During this time, he had been buying up shares from Xu Group’s minor shareholders. Xu Zhengyang had noticed and was angry, but he was helpless.
The biggest difference between him and Xu Xiuhe was that Xu Xiuhe was spending his own money and could do whatever he wanted, while he had always been spending family money.
“Mom, what should I do? Dad doesn’t trust me to run the company anymore, and Xu Xiuhe is still buying up shares.”
Yang Cui’s face darkened at these words, but she was much calmer than Xu Zhengyang.
“Don’t panic yet. Let’s think of other ways. See if we can start with Heyuan Group.”
“Mom, what do you mean?”
“Hmm, I’ll handle this. You focus on working well and performing well recently. Also, put your personal matters aside for now. Look at what you did that night. We still have Ge Xinxin at home, and you were in the pool late at night… Your father was angry when he came back.”
“Alright, Mom. I understand.”
During her pregnancy, Shen Yin did nothing but eat and sleep, occasionally drawing blueprints for furniture needed in the restaurant later, and having Chen Siming find people to make them.
She didn’t ask Kang Guopeng. Kang Guopeng’s craftsmanship was suitable for making those exquisite, million-dollar pieces of furniture, while the tables, chairs, and beds needed for the restaurant didn’t need to be that refined. The wooden furniture in the restaurant just needed to be slightly better than regular furniture.
Now, whatever Shen Yin said, Chen Siming would do without question. He knew that Shen Yin was much more reliable than him. Following her lead was never wrong.
Several buildings had already risen nearby within two months. Chen Siming even had the illusion that this place would become more prosperous and lively in the near future, rivaling the old town and becoming a scenic spot.
At 8 PM, Xu Xiuhe was going to take Shen Yin and Zhengzheng out for dinner.
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
The night in Rong City was brightly lit, with bustling streets and various advertisements playing on large billboards.
Suddenly, all the advertisements in the city went dark.
Sitting in the car, Shen Yin looked at the large electronic screens outside and said, “Has Rong City been hacked?”
Xu Xiuhe: …
Many passersby also noticed that all the advertisements had stopped, which was unusual.
After about three minutes, all the billboards in the city lit up again. All the screens were filled with images of Shen Yin.
It was a compilation of Shen Yin’s photos, including pictures of her receiving awards, attending charity events, and at embroidery competitions. Each photo was eye-catching, each frame dazzling. Then came Xu Xiuhe’s voice.
“Meeting you in this life brings joy to my brows; you are indeed my beloved.”
Shen Yin was clearly surprised by the images on the advertisement screens. What kind of operation was this?
“How is it? Are you satisfied?” Xu Xiuhe asked smugly. He hadn’t read those domineering CEO novels for nothing. Weren’t they all like this in the novels?
After a while, Shen Yin spoke, “How much did it cost?”
“What do you mean, how much?”
“How much did these advertisements cost?”
“200,000 yuan for one night. It’s quite reasonable, I think it’s pretty cheap.”
“Honey, we should save where we can and spend where we should.”
“That’s right, and this is where we should spend. Don’t you remember? Today is the Qixi Festival. You should value this holiday, right?”
With Xu Xiuhe’s reminder, Shen Yin realized it too.
Xu Xiuhe felt he had been quite low-key. At least he hadn’t said to Shen Yin, “Woman, are you moved?” like in the novels.
“I owe you a wedding ceremony,” Xu Xiuhe said. He had always known that the red wedding dress in Qinghe Villa would look particularly good on Shen Yin. He wanted to see her wear it, wanted to give her a proper wedding ceremony.
“But we’re about to have our second child.”
“Why don’t you say we got married first and then fell in love? There are many people now who have children first and then get married. Let’s set the wedding for the end of the month, while the baby in your belly hasn’t grown too big yet.”
“Dad, Mom, are you getting married?” Xu Yunzheng asked.
“Yes, Dad and Mom are having a wedding ceremony. Mom will look beautiful as she marries Dad. Would Zhengzheng like that?”
“Like Aunt Qi Ji’s wedding, and Uncle Liu Bo’s wedding?”
