Sun Qing, Peng Yufei, as well as Xin Jiaren all did the same, bringing their design drafts and then taking back the revised ones, along with the drafts Tang Yue made for Qin Anyu. Of course, when Sun Qing came to Country F, experiencing the atmosphere of Country F’s fashion capital, she couldn’t just waste the time. Now it’s the spring and summer fashion week, the fashion shows in Country F are plentiful, even Tang Yue takes time out every day to catch a show. Sometimes, when it happens during a break, she wishes she could stay at the show without leaving. Peng Yufei and Xin Jiaren would have come to watch the fashion show with Sun Qing, if they hadn’t been held back by other commitments. However, Sun Qing stayed in Country F for five days, and when she flew back home, Peng Yufei and Xin Jiaren arrived, bringing many local specialties. Looking at those foods, Tang Yue always felt they treated her like a child, but she indeed preferred the food from her homeland. The groups took turns visiting, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival. After seeing Peng Yufei and Xin Jiaren off, Tang Yue brought plenty of food to visit Bai Qing. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽 Since getting pregnant, Bai Qing had been spending less time outside, mainly because An Chong restricted her from going out, but Bai Qing still sneaked out every once in a while to visit Tang Yue. Anxious about this, An Chong decided to set a rule: visiting Tang Yue’s place once a week. Last week when she saw Bai Qing, her belly seemed to have grown even bigger. "Xiao Yue, you finally came to see me." Upon seeing Tang Yue, Bai Qing was so excited she nearly threw herself at her. Tang Yue quickly reminded her, "Sister Qing, don’t jump, you’re pregnant, pregnant." Tang Yue stared at Bai Qing’s belly, it seemed bigger than before, and today, it seemed to have grown even more. "It’s alright, the baby is fine." Bai Qing’s eyes fell on the bag Tang Yue was carrying, she said, "Did you bring me something tasty?" "Red bean mooncakes? I like those." Bai Qing unapologetically tore open a mooncake and took a bite, enjoying the sweet red bean paste. She liked it a lot, seemingly finding the mooncakes from her homeland even more delicious. "Sister Qing, has your belly grown again?" Tang Yue kept looking at Bai Qing’s belly. It’s September and still quite hot, Bai Qing was wearing the maternity clothes Tang Yue made, loose and comfortable. "I suppose so." Bai Qing quickly ate another mooncake, then opened another, saying, "Xiao Yue, come to our house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, just don’t bring Wu Xin." Bai Qing’s eyes were rolling around playfully, adding, "Then I’ll have An Chong cook us something delicious, and also..." Bai Qing muttered something indecipherable. Tang Yue didn’t think much of it, she said, "Okay, I’ll give Wu Xin a holiday then, but Brother-in-law An will cook personally?" "Mhmm, he’s quite skilled. Don’t you like shrimp? I’ll ask him to make lots of it for you, spicy, braised, boiled, whatever kind you want." Bai Qing grinned, her eyes twinkling. "Sounds good." Tang Yue’s eyes practically sparkled at the mention of shrimp. Today, having some free time, Tang Yue accompanied Bai Qing for a stroll. Tang Yue felt tired after walking, but Bai Qing seemed unaffected, light-footed, not seeming pregnant at all from the back! "Sister Qing, you really are the most graceful pregnant woman," Tang Yue sighed in relief when she got home. Outside, she was always worried about Bai Qing getting bumped into by others. Actually, her concern was really unnecessary. Even though Bai Qing is pregnant now, she could still outmaneuver two or three adult men. It’s just that An Chong has been protecting her too well. After getting over the initial reaction period of the pregnancy, Bai Qing was eating deliciously, and aside from her growing belly, she didn’t gain weight elsewhere and remained slim. "Xiao Yue, you should exercise more, otherwise, your physical strength really isn’t enough," Bai Qing couldn’t help saying, "After getting pregnant, apart from the discomfort during the reaction period, I don’t feel much, it’s just that An Chong is too careless." Bai Qing took another bite of an apple. She would get hungry after a bit of activity. The mooncakes she had eaten earlier were already digested cleanly. She called out towards the kitchen, "Brother An, I’m hungry, I want to eat fish and shrimp." "Okay, it’ll be ready soon," An Chong replied cheerfully. Having been the head of the family for so long, An Chong cherished the warm days he spent with Bai Qing. Having spent the first half of his life in danger, he was now about to become a father. In the deep quiet of the night, An Chong always liked to place his hand on Bai Qing’s belly, feeling the baby’s movements inside her and feeling Bai Qing’s body temperature, only then would he feel at ease. A few days ago, when An Yu was naming the baby, it was a bit torturous. Clearly, An Yu was just showing off. Now, seeing An Chong picking fish bones for Bai Qing, although the two of them hardly spoke without sniping at each other, the atmosphere was exceptionally good. Tang Yue: I’ve had my fill of this dog food. On the morning of Mid-Autumn Festival, Tang Yue received a joyful call from Chu Hong, An Yu had given birth to a plump white boy weighing seven pounds. Tang Yue congratulated with a smile, sharing in Chu Hong’s happiness, and she said quite a lot. Not long after hanging up, Tang Yue received another call, this time from An Yu. An Yu happily said, "Xiao Yue, I feel all the difficulties of pregnancy are worth nothing when I saw the baby. I’m so happy, so blessed. Please forget all the complaining I did to you before." An Yu had coaxed Chu Hong to hold her while she called Tang Yue. Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "I know, when I return to our country, I’ll come and see the baby." "Okay." An Yu hung up after a few words. It’s quite remarkable that she managed to talk this long after giving birth. Tang Yue put down the phone, tidied up the house a bit, and as she was preparing to go out, she suddenly remembered Bai Qing’s vague words—was there a surprise today? Tang Yue thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, even secretly wondering if it might be Meng Siyu coming? But soon, Tang Yue dismissed that thought. Meng Siyu must be too busy to peel away, no time to come abroad, but still, holding that one in a million hope, Tang Yue changed into her favorite white long dress, Meng Siyu had said before that he loved seeing her in a white dress. Even if Meng Siyu couldn’t see her, Tang Yue wore it feeling as though he could. At this moment, Tang Yue immensely missed the smartphones of future generations, where despite thousands of miles of separation, one could still video call and see the person they missed the most through their phone. Upon arriving at An Chong’s house, the room was decorated, and on the coffee table, exquisite mooncakes were set out, bringing out the Mid-Autumn festival atmosphere instantly.
