The food was served, and the three of them chatted while eating.

Halfway through, He Huizhu called, said a few words, hung up and left.

"You may not go back tonight, you two should lock the door tonight." She ordered and left.

After her aunt left, He Jiarui lowered her head to eat the vegetables and said to Yuan Zheng, "You don't have to come here in a hurry. I'm not a child."

Yuan Zheng served her a bowl of soup, put it in front of her, and said, "I can't worry about you."

He Jiarui took the soup, took a sip, looked at the ingredients in the bowl, and said, "Auntie told you, right?"

She didn't say it explicitly, but she knew he wouldn't play dumb.

Yuan Zheng laughed and said, "Why is my wife so smart? I guessed it without saying anything."

"If I want to talk about smartness, you are smarter." He Jiarui tilted her head to look at him and asked with a smile, "Why are you so sensitive?"

Yuan Zheng also smiled, "I don't know, I didn't realize it before, but now I suddenly realize that I have this skill!"

"Seeing him..." he asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

He Jiarui continued to drink the soup and said nothing for a moment. After finishing the bowl of soup, she said: "His wife is pregnant."

Yuan Zheng calmly took the bowl in her hand, filled her with another bowl, and said, "Oh, that's pretty quick. It's okay. You have to be anxious, I can't do it either!"

He Jiarui laughed angrily and said nothing.

Yuan Zheng continued to eat without saying anything to persuade her. This was not something he could persuade her to do.

"When are we going back?" he asked, "How about I play here with you for a few days? It's not even fifteen yet, but the New Year atmosphere here is quite good."

He Jiarui thought for a long time and asked, "Where is your company? Is it okay if you don't go back?"

Yuan Zheng said: "I have taken care of everything today, and everyone below can do the rest. I will play with you for a few days without delaying anything."

"Well, since you're fine, let's just play for two days. We won't go out to play even if we get married." He Jiarui said.

"Okay, come back later and I'll make a plan. Just tell me where you want to go."

He Jiarui bit the lotus root slices and said, "The first stop is to go to Yonghe Temple to pay our respects. I hope that we can all go smoothly in the new year."

After eating, He Jiarui came out of the store and was taken into the car by Yuan Zheng.

"Where did you get your car?" she asked.

"My aunt arranged it."

The car arrived at home. Before getting off the car, Yuan Zheng asked the driver Xiao Wang to pick him up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Then he and He Jiarui went in.

After returning home, He Jiarui went back to the guest bedroom where she had been sleeping, took a shower and changed clothes. Yuan Zheng had stayed here for a few days before and went to his usual room, opened his suitcase and hung up his clothes.

As he hung up the clothes, he was thinking in his mind that Valentine's Day would be the day after tomorrow. He had already brought all the gifts. Since he couldn't go back, he would spend a romantic Valentine's Day with her here.

He packed his clothes, took a shower, and changed into home clothes. Then he lay on the bed and looked at his phone. He Jiarui had not sent him a message.

To be honest, he was quite tired. He didn't sleep all day and night yesterday, and he didn't sleep a wink all day. He was drinking black coffee to stay awake.

As soon as he touched the bed, his eyes couldn't help but close. But just as he was about to fall asleep, he struggled to wake up and reached for his phone.

"What are you doing?" He sent a message to He Jiarui.

He had seen an old meme on the Internet before, asking the person he likes "What are you doing?" In fact, he just wanted to tell the person "I miss you."

He Jiarui replied to the message and said, "I'm following a drama."

Then another message was sent saying: "Go to bed early. You must be exhausted from work these two days. I saw you almost fell asleep in the car just now."

Yuan Zheng sent a silly smile emoticon.

He replied: "I'll call you tomorrow morning and let's go to Yonghe Temple first."

After that, I threw the phone away, closed my eyes and fell asleep within three seconds.

After He Jiarui read the message, he locked the screen of his phone and watched the TV series on his tablet with blank eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Later, she was a little tired, stopped thinking, and lay down to sleep.

That night, she had random dreams, about Fu Chengyu, about Yuan Zheng, about pregnancy, about giving birth, which made her cry and yell in her dreams, and she almost had a nervous breakdown.

"Ruirui, Ruirui." Yuan Zheng shook her and called her from beside her.

He Jiarui was woken up from a painful dream. When he opened his eyes, there were tears hanging on his eyelashes. He looked like pear blossoms with rain. I felt pity for him and looked at Yuan Zheng with a blank look on his face.

"Did you have a nightmare? She shouted so loudly that I came in because I was worried." Yuan Zheng stared at her face.

He Jiarui blinked, came to his senses after a moment, lowered his head and exhaled, saying, "Yes, it's a nightmare."

Yuan Zheng stroked her head repeatedly and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, my husband is here, no one can hurt you."

After saying that, he said with a smile: "Come here, just let my husband hug me."

He gestured and hugged her. He thought He Jiarui would run away, but unexpectedly, she didn't move and just let him hug her.

Yuan Zheng's heart moved. He exerted a little force on his arm and asked her ear, "What are you dreaming about?"

He Jiarui shook her head on his shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing."

His hand caressed her back, "It's okay, I'm not afraid anymore."

"I made lean meat porridge and fried dumplings. Do you want to eat them now?" he asked.

He Jiarui came out of his arms and rubbed her eyes, "Eat, I'm hungry."

Yuan Zheng couldn't help but stretched out his hand to scratch her little nose, and said with a smile: "Then get up, and I will serve you porridge."

He Jiarui's face turned red, and he stretched out his hand to touch his nose, cursing in his heart that he was quite skillful in doing this.

After she washed up, she changed her clothes and went to the restaurant.

Yuan Zheng greeted her: "Come here and eat."

While eating, he said to her: "Let's go in during the opening hours of Yonghe Temple. There can't be so many people. After paying our respects, whether you want to go to the mall or go somewhere to play, I will listen to you."

He Jiarui thought for a while and asked him: "You always ask me, what about you? Do you want to go somewhere? You don't always have to rely on me."

Yuan Zheng said: "I am fine anywhere, as long as I am with you."

He didn't say this to flatter others, he meant it sincerely.

He Jiarui was accustomed to his words, and said, "Let's talk after we say goodbye. I don't know where to go."

"Okay, let's eat quickly, don't be late."

At the gate of the community, the driver had already parked there. The two got in the car and the driver drove on the road.

Although I came out early, the road was still blocked. When I arrived at Yonghe Temple, there was already a long queue.

Yuan Zheng said helplessly: "There is no other way, just wait in line."

"Then let's wait in line." He Jiarui was quite calm and said with a smile.

Yuan Zheng stood behind her, and he could see what she was playing on her mobile phone from a high position. At this time, she was chatting with Xia Zhi, and asked her what she wished for, and she made it for her.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he really had the urge to hold her in his arms.
