After getting home in the evening, Li Yang responsibly gave Wang Jingjuan a bath.

"Baby, don't worry about me. It's still early. Look, there's nothing wrong with my belly at all."

Wang Jingjuan's heart, however, was incredibly sweet. Seeing Li Yang's resolute tenderness towards her, she simply let him have his way. Not every woman in this world was as lucky as her to meet a beloved man who was willing to cherish and take care of her!

After the bath, Li Yang put a nightgown on Wang Jingjuan to prevent her from catching a cold.

It was still early, so Li Yang accompanied her on the sofa and watched some TV series.

"Baby, do you think I'm carrying a boy?"

Wang Jingjuan lay on Li Yang's lap, watching the melodramatic plot on TV intently!

"Definitely! You've already had two daughters,"

Li Yang was also quite engrossed. Thinking of something, he started massaging Wang Jingjuan's head again, as the book said it helped with sleep!

It was true. After chatting for a while, Wang Jingjuan felt her eyelids getting heavy.

"Baby, carry me to bed,"

Wang Jingjuan turned her body, wrapped her arms around Li Yang's neck, and nestled in his embrace.

Li Yang didn't waste words. He picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and carried Wang Jingjuan by the waist into the bedroom to sleep.

After lying down, Wang Jingjuan hugged Li Yang and gave him a passionate kiss. Then, with a sweet smile, she comfortably fell asleep in Li Yang's arms...

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Jingjuan dropped Li Yang off at the Shanghai Market and then drove to the training institution herself.

Today, she was very obedient and well-behaved. She wore flat shoes that exposed the tops of her feet, which she rarely wore, without stockings on her bare legs. She looked very beautiful. She wore a breathable dress without a belt, looking lovely!

As Li Yang walked to the entrance of the store, a fragrant scent came from behind him. Just as he was about to turn around, Jiang Manman playfully wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Hmph, you bad guy, are you busier than the President of the United States? I called you several times, but you didn't come to play with me!"

"Alright, let go quickly. Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Li Yang's face turned red and his neck thickened from her actions, so he opened his mouth and bit Jiang Manman's arm, though he certainly couldn't bear to use force!

"Then promise to accompany me after work today,"

Jiang Manman pouted, her grip on his arm loosened, and she leaned against Li Yang's cheek, looking pitiful!

"Okay, okay, I promise, alright?"

Li Yang pretended to be serious!

"Hehe, then I'll wait for you at the store entrance, rain or shine. See you there,"

It was almost time, and they both had to go to work. Before leaving, Jiang Manman didn't forget to hug Li Yang and kiss him forcefully, like a female hooligan, making Li Yang feel embarrassed in broad daylight. This girl had a carefree personality and never cared what others thought of her!

"Your little girlfriend is quite pretty!"

The leader had a clear view of the two of them playing around just now. Shop Manager Wang looked at Li Yang with a complex smile from the side and casually teased him.

"Hehe, good morning, Shop Manager,"

Li Yang smiled foolishly and walked into the office with the Shop Manager. After clocking in, he quickly slipped away.

He hadn't seen Xu Rui much lately either. He knew Li Yang was busy dating recently and didn't want to be a third wheel. A few days ago, the beautiful woman his cousin introduced was a clerk at a company.

The two agreed to meet at Dennis Department Store on Nanchang Road. The girl was from Yiyang County. She was wearing a professional skirt, black stockings, and high heels. After seeing Xu Rui's true appearance, she said she had something to do and left after a few sentences, without even eating. However, Xu Rui hadn't intended to treat her to dinner anyway.

This guy often adhered to the principle of not acting until he saw results. He would definitely not waste energy and money on something with no chance. This made many men bow down in admiration; he never felt embarrassed!

Needless to say, this blind date didn't work out either. Xu Rui was too lazy to dwell on it. He took things as they came, living day by day.

He continued to work and play around with Zhang Xiaoli every day, and it wasn't bad to take advantage of the opportunity to get a feel of her hands.

He called Yue Xiaodan several times, but she was busy with her internship in Yiyang and didn't talk to him much.

However, for Xu Rui, this undoubtedly meant there was still a chance. You couldn't rush things!

Yue Xiaodan would be back the day after tomorrow when her internship ended. Everything was developing peacefully.

At noon, Wang Jingjuan cooked for her two daughters who were home from school for the weekend. She calmed herself down for a while, feeling uneasy.

Sitting on the sofa, she began to speak slowly, following the draft she had prepared in advance.

"Meili, Meimei, while you're eating, Mom has something to announce to you two!"

Wang Jingjuan sat barefoot on the sofa, her face filled with uncontrollable joy. Looking at her two daughters, whose bodies were fully developed, she spoke with determination.

"Mom found out she was pregnant a few days ago. It's like heaven has eyes. Your dad is gone, and it would be good to have another brother or sister for you two in the future. When you grow up, you can also look out for each other."

"Really? That's great! I really wanted a brother,"

The eldest daughter, Zhao Meili, was the first to express her opinion!

"Mom, I agree too. If we both get married and leave you in the future, it would be good to have a brother who can take care of you and stay by your side. Dad is gone, and you're quite lonely by yourself."

The second daughter, Zhao Meimei, had a gentle personality and was not good with words. She was not as lively and cheerful as her older sister, but she was very sensible. She had been able to take good care of herself while studying for so many years. She was sixteen and hadn't dated. She usually focused her energy on studying. She was in the second year of high school at the prestigious Guanlin No. 8 Middle School and took the bus home by herself during holidays.

Wang Jingjuan felt completely relieved after hearing this. She felt very lucky to be surrounded by people who were understanding and loved her. Take Li Yang, for example. He had never asked Wang Jingjuan for money. Sometimes, Li Yang even thoughtfully bought Wang Jingjuan a lot of sexy lingerie, clothes, shoes, and other things, just wanting to be more attractive to her when they were together.

Just imagine if Li Yang wanted to deceive Wang Jingjuan out of her money, would it be easy? The answer was obviously no.

"That's good. Don't worry, Mom will take good care of herself and the baby in her belly." Wang Jingjuan touched her belly with a happy expression.

Zhao Meili said excitedly, "I'm finally going to be a big sister! When my little brother or sister is born, I'm going to tell him/her lots of stories and teach him/her how to sing and dance."

Zhao Meimei smiled and said, "I'll help take care of my little brother or sister, change his/her diapers, and feed him/her formula."

Wang Jingjuan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged her two daughters and said, "You are truly good children to your mother. I hope the three of you will love each other and grow up happily together."

With things as they were, Wang Jingjuan eagerly prepared to welcome the arrival of the little life...

At 6:30 PM, Li Yang clocked out on time. Every day, there were staff on duty in each department, so there was no worry about late customers not being attended to. This opportunity was usually given to colleagues who were under significant financial pressure and needed to support their families. Young people like Li Yang were rarely willing to stay, and the management preferred to assign people who were willing!

The sun on the street was still scorching. Li Yang stood in the shade, looking towards the north side of the Pedestrian Street.

Soon, a familiar figure gracefully approached. Jiang Manman wore a sun hat and exaggerated large sunglasses on her face. A parasol elegantly shielded her sexy figure as she walked with a confident stride, exuding an aura of "the young lady has arrived, everyone make way!"

This girl was a show-off wherever she went. Last time, she wasn't shy about dancing square dance in the park, which sometimes made Li Yang feel very awkward when he was with her.

"Look at your silly face," Li Yang stood there, staring.

"Hehe, let's go, dear,"

Jiang Manman smiled charmingly, hung her bag around Li Yang's neck again, and holding the umbrella, pulled Li Yang towards the bus stop without explanation.

"Are you missing me again?"

On the bus, Li Yang leaned obediently against Jiang Manman in his arms, smiling mischievously. He had also taken her large sunglasses and put them on his own face, looking quite cool.

Jiang Manman couldn't be bothered to respond, so she just kissed Li Yang, considering it her answer. Then she lay still in his arms, enjoying the rare comfort.

The air conditioning on the bus was strong, not hot at all. It wasn't long before they reached the terminal station.

"Where are we going to play?" Li Yang pulled Jiang Manman off the bus and looked around, asking.

"The temperature is suitable for swimming today. You can come with me,"

Jiang Manman suggested enthusiastically.

"Where to, the Luo River? Okay, you have to teach me well,"

Li Yang was also very interested in learning to swim, not only for his own safety but also because he wanted to do some of his wild and imaginative things in the water in the future, like trying it with Wang Jingjuan later.

"Look at your lewd smile, you must be having some bad thoughts again,"

Jiang Manman rolled her eyes at Li Yang with a look of disgust.

"No, no, no, let's go, quickly," Saying this, Li Yang reached out and started tickling Manman. Giggling, Manman was tickled by Li Yang and felt itchy. She didn't stop him verbally, but her body really liked the feeling.

After playing around for a while, Manman asked Li Yang to take her home first.

"Your parents aren't home, are they?"

Li Yang, feeling guilty like a thief, asked timidly.

"Look at how timid you are, my parents won't eat you," Let's go, they can't wait to like you!

When the two arrived home, Jiang's mother had already cooked dinner. Jiang's father had gone out early to eat, drink, and have fun with a group of old women!

Jiang Manman also knew her father's hobby, so she didn't ask. There were no boys in the family, and Old Jiang wasn't very interested in making money. As long as there was enough to eat and play, and after his daughter got married, he could rely on his retirement pension for old age and burial. The couple had worked in the factory for a lifetime, so their future pension would definitely not be small.

"Xiao Yang, our Niu Niu has been spoiled by her father since she was a child. If she's disobedient, please be more tolerant. If she does something wrong, you can spank her butt, but never hit her face. If her father finds out, he'll definitely fight you to the death. Auntie is also doing this for your own good. Her father is unreasonable, you can't reason with him!"

Manman looked at the conversation between Li Yang and her mother with a happy expression, while Li Yang was humble in front of Jiang's mother, praising Jiang Manman like a flower.

"Don't protect her either. I raised her myself since she was a child. Don't I know what kind of person she is?"

"I usually wash the underwear she changes out of at home. She's twenty-five, and she's not afraid of being laughed at for not doing it herself."

Jiang Manman was used to it and didn't argue.

"Mom, I'll definitely wash them myself after I get married. Isn't it because you're here now?"

"Hurry up and let Xiao Yang marry you, so I can enjoy some peace and quiet."

Her mother quickly finished eating and immediately got up to give the young couple some private space.

"Eat more, you'll need strength when you go into the water later,"

Manman put another cola chicken wing on Li Yang's plate. She only ate a few bites herself and was done. She put down her chopsticks, propped her chin with her hand, and watched Li Yang eat attentively.

"Are you full?" Manman picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of Li Yang's mouth.

"Full, full, I ate too much, will I sink to the bottom when I go into the water?"

With a chuckle, Manman was amused by Li Yang and couldn't help but gently hit him with her hand, the force like a tickle.

"Let's go, go to my room first," Saying this, Manman took Li Yang's hand and got up to go to her boudoir.

After a while, her mother quietly came over, pressed her ear against the door, and eavesdropped, her face full of uncontrollable joy!

Then she quietly went out for a walk, no longer disturbing the young people's activities!

"Does it look good?"

In the bedroom, Jiang Manman changed into the sexy swimsuit she had just bought a few days ago in front of Li Yang. She only wanted Li Yang to appreciate it.

"Of course it looks good," Li Yang walked closer and looked at Manman without restraint.

Manman generously turned around and then struck a stunning pose.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off. I've already kissed you, no need to look. Hurry up and put the dress on!"

Li Yang reminded her thoughtfully.

"You're annoying."

Manman put on a shy act. Li Yang was indeed more familiar with her body than anyone else!

"Change into the swim trunks I bought for you too,"

Manman thoughtfully took out the black swim trunks she had prepared for Li Yang and said.

"Let's change when we get there," Li Yang told her to pack up both their changed underwear and they headed out.

Li Yang rode his bike, enjoying the breeze, and took Jiang Manman to the riverbank near Lingbo Bridge to find a spot.

"How about here?" Li Yang suggested to Manman, who was walking ahead, pushing his bike.

"Okay,"

Manman was wearing a lace dress and had gone out directly in slippers.

Manman placed her clothes on the grass and looked around. The spot Li Yang chose was quite secluded, a perfect place.

Li Yang didn't undress like Manman, as if he were a thief. He boldly changed into his swimsuit and started warming up in front of Manman.

Manman secretly watched Li Yang, really wanting to go up and kick him.

"Pervert, lecher,"

Manman muttered under her breath as she watched.

"Take this!" Li Yang looked at Manman with a mischievous smile, suddenly turned around, and made a funny and ridiculous gesture.

Seeing this, Manman stomped her foot in anger: "You heartless wretch, I'll fight you!" With that, she threw herself at Li Yang without a second thought, and began biting, pinching, and scratching him with all her might, having a great time fighting.

Li Yang was startled by Manman's actions, but quickly reacted. While dodging Manman's attacks, he continued to tease, "Haha, come on, I'm not afraid!"

Manman became even angrier when she heard this. She increased her strength and continuously attacked Li Yang. The two of them continued to wrestle like this, neither willing to back down.

Just then, it was unclear who started it first, but their lips accidentally touched. Instantly, both of them froze, their eyes meeting. Then, as if ignited, they kissed passionately.

Li Yang held Manman tightly, letting them feel each other's warmth and heartbeat.

In this moment filled with love, they seemed to forget everything around them, only the longing and attachment for each other remained. Time seemed to stop, leaving only the two of them immersed in the ocean of love.

Half an hour later, Manman was resting slightly in Li Yang's arms. A mat they had brought was spread on the grass by the river, and Li Yang was also lying below, resting with a tired look on his face.

A thin sheet was covering both of them.
