Chapter 939: Chapter 919: This Child Always Needs to Give His...
Jiayi wrinkled her nose and glared at Little Baozi.
His eyes flickered, and he raised his long arm, brushing away the crumbs at the corner of her lips. Accompanied by a playful yet doting tone, he said, "Your mommy is acting more like a little glutton than you now."
The roughened yet slender fingertip slid across the delicate skin around her lips, causing Jiayi’s cheeks to flush.
"I’ll do it myself." Seeing Little Baozi still staring at her, Jiayi murmured softly.
He withdrew his hand but deliberately placed the fingers he had used to wipe her lips into his mouth, gently sucking on them.
As if savoring the sweetness mingled with her scent and the taste of chocolate.
Jiayi’s face grew hot. This man, truly, had no boundaries no matter the place or who was nearby.
"Daddy, you only wiped Mommy’s mouth. What about me?" Zaizai thought it was fun and stood on tiptoes, asking for his cheek to be wiped.
The man tilted his head down sixty degrees, glanced at the chubby little figure, and retorted in dissatisfaction, "Your mommy is a girl, and you’re a boy. Why are you acting so delicate?"
Zaizai pouted, feeling the bias.
Jiayi noticed the tension brewing between the father and son, so she hastily changed the subject. "Uh, by the way, what did you talk about with the old man in the room?"
His lips curled into a mysterious smile. "What do you hope I talked about with the old man?"
"How would I know what you guys talked about?" She hesitated, slightly flustered.
Still unwilling to admit her thoughts?
Wasn’t she hoping the old man would agree to their remarriage?
He raised an eyebrow, teasingly saying, "Not much. Just briefly mentioned the company’s follow-up matters, so the old man could head back to G City with peace of mind."
"...Oh."
Just one word, yet her tone carried the faintest hint of disappointment.
...
The next day, Huo Zhenyang took Jiayi and Zaizai to the airport to see Huo Tianpei and Little Doubao off. On the way back, he instructed the driver to drop Jiayi and Zaizai off at Disheng first, while he went to the office.
Back at Disheng, Jiayi sorted out the baby clothes and newborn supplies she had bought at the department store last time for Anya.
She had been busy dealing with Su Yan’s matters over recent days, and later occupied with court hearings, leaving her no time to visit Anya. The baby supplies she’d purchased remained undelivered, so Jiayi planned to visit Anya this afternoon and bring her the gifts.
After lunch, Jiayi left the house carrying the gifts.
Auntie Li, aware she was heading to Miss Liang’s, approached her with concern and asked, "Do you want me to arrange for the driver to take you? Miss Liang lives in the suburbs; it’s quite far."
"No need, Auntie Li. I’ll drive myself. I’ve visited Anya several times already, haven’t I? Trust me." Jiayi said with a smile as she exchanged her shoes.
"Alright, just remember to come back early today." Auntie Li blinked at her.
Jiayi noticed there was something strange about Auntie Li’s expression but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. She didn’t dwell on it, simply responding with a nod before heading out the door.
Watching Jiayi’s figure disappear, a faint smile crept onto Auntie Li’s face.
At that moment, the phone rang.
Auntie Li answered it, and George’s voice came through the line. "Miss Jiayi is home, right, Auntie Li?"
Auntie Li answered delightedly, "She just left to see Miss Liang. Don’t worry, I reminded her to come back early today. She won’t miss the flight."
"Got it." George ended the call.
Raising his head, he glanced toward the Boss standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his face lighting up with a rare smile:
"The hotel, the chapel, the wedding dress, and the officiant in France have all been arranged. Once Miss Jiayi returns, the Boss will take her to the airport to head there for the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Chu, Miss Jiayi’s friends, and everyone Miss Jiayi wants to see will also be arranged to travel by private jet to join the Boss and Miss Jiayi in France for their wedding. Miss Jiayi will definitely be pleasantly surprised when she sees all this."
The sunlight outside spilled like golden sands onto the tall and upright figure of the man, his side profile glowing with an intoxicating radiance. A sharp and handsome nose accented his faintly curved lips.
That little woman thought he had forgotten about their remarriage.
These past two days, she had been quietly gloomy.
Enough. No need to tease her anymore.
Tonight, he would take her on the night flight.
After flying across most of the Northern Hemisphere, when that little woman woke up, it would be morning in France.
He would first take her to register their marriage, and then head to the prepared chapel for the ceremony, before flying directly to the nearby French Santo Roy Island for their honeymoon.
Europe has many private islands available for purchase, but the French island near the Mediterranean, he had bought outright.
The island owner listed on the property deed was her.
He would formally announce to the world that she had remarried him, letting all those she loved and who loved her come to bless her, and allowing her to bathe in the envious gazes of everyone.
France was the place his parents had once wed, and he had mentioned before that he wanted to bring her here to marry, though she might have forgotten about it.
But what did it matter?
Whether she remembered or not, in this lifetime, she would always be his woman.
From the moment they met, she was destined to be locked together with him.
*
In the suburbs, a European-style villa with red tiles and red walls.
At the entrance of the villa, Jiayi got out of her car.
At the foot of the stairs, Beiming Hall’s subordinates who already knew Jiayi greeted her warmly, "Miss Chu is here."
"Yes, I came to see Anya and brought her some newborn supplies as spares."
Initially, every time she visited, Jiayi felt somewhat uneasy about the tall, rough, and intimidating subordinates of Beiming Hall. After all, she was aware that Beiming Hall’s background in Europe was not to be trifled with, and she had never encountered people like them before.
But after several visits, she had grown accustomed to it.
"Miss Chu is very considerate. Actually, our Hall Master had already instructed us to prepare everything in advance, and everything is of the highest quality. Please come in." A subordinate escorted Jiayi into the villa.
Upstairs, the subordinate knocked twice on the door. "Miss Liang, Miss Chu is here to see you." He turned to Jiayi and shrugged. "Same rules as always, Miss Chu."
Jiayi understood what he meant. Si Yuheng, out of consideration for Huo Zhenyang, allowed her to visit Anya but always strictly set time limits. Smiling, she remarked, "Anya’s about to give birth, and your Hall Master still doesn’t feel at ease?"
The subordinate replied helplessly, "It’s the Hall Master’s orders; we have no choice."
Just then, the door opened, and Liang Anya pulled Jiayi inside, glaring at the subordinate unhappily before slamming the door shut.
Seeing her for the first time in a while, Anya’s belly looked even larger, and she had gained a healthy glow. It was evident she was being well taken care of by Si Yuheng.
Jiayi noticed her lingering annoyance and teased, "Don’t be upset. Be careful you give birth to a little troublemaker. Prenatal care is important. If you want to have a well-behaved and obedient baby, your mood must be good!"
"I’d rather give birth to a little rascal who drives him crazy. Obedient and well-behaved? Dream on, as far as he’s concerned. The child had better argue with him all day long and irritate him to death!" Anya said, but then her tone suddenly faltered, her cheeks showing a layer of melancholy. "Regardless of how the child turns out, what does it matter to me? This child doesn’t belong to me after all; he’s only his."
