Chapter 237 It's your husband who brought you a loving breakfast.
Because Yunxia's physical condition doesn't allow her to travel for work these days, she's considering handing over the work she promised Ningyi to someone else.
Although Zhou Chiye didn't say anything, he did say that if she wanted to go, he would go with her.
But Yunxia didn't want to be too selfish.
Perhaps due to her irregular lifestyle and lack of care for her body, Yunxia's reaction to her first pregnancy was more intense than that of most people.
Yunxia stared at the business trip plan on the computer, her finger hovering over the mouse for a long time before finally clicking on her colleague's chat window.
She carefully typed: "I probably won't be able to go on this business trip to work on the project we were working on last time. Could you please take over? I'll organize the relevant materials and send them to you."
The message was sent out and received a reply very quickly.
"Okay, you haven't looked too well these past few days. Don't overwork yourself, leave it to me."
Yunxia pursed her lips, picked up her phone, and prepared to call Ningyi to explain the situation.
Before she could even dial, her phone rang; it was Ning Yi calling.
She answered the phone and heard Ning Yi's cheerful voice: "Xiaxia, are you asleep? I've booked the hotel for next week. We can stay in adjacent rooms so it'll be convenient to discuss work."
Yunxia felt a lump in her throat and took a moment to speak: "Ningyi, I'm sorry, I... I probably can't make it here."
She paused, but still didn't mention the pregnancy, only vaguely saying, "I haven't been feeling well lately, and I'm afraid it will hold the project back."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Ning Yi's worried voice: "What's wrong? You seemed unwell the last time I saw you. Did you go to the hospital to see a doctor?"
"I've seen a doctor. He said I'm just too tired and need to rest for a while." Yunxia forced a smile. "I've already handed over my work to a colleague. She's worked on similar projects before and is very reliable. I'll also keep an eye on things remotely, so there won't be any problems."
"Then you must get some rest and don't push yourself too hard." Ning Yi's tone softened: "Work isn't important, your health is the most important thing."
Yunxia hummed in agreement, hung up the phone, leaned back in her chair, and gently pressed her temples.
Footsteps sounded behind her, and Zhou Chiye walked over with a plate of sliced apples, placing it beside her: "Have you decided? You really aren't going?"
Yunxia shook her head: "Given my current physical condition, going there would only interfere with my work."
Zhou Chiye took out a neatly folded piece of red paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Yunxia, a smile hidden in his eyes: "It's better if you don't go, so as not to delay important matters."
“Look, I asked someone to calculate two auspicious dates, next Wednesday and the Friday after next. They said it’s auspicious for marriage and marriage registration, and that it’s especially compatible with our birth dates.”
He pointed to the date on the red paper with his fingertip and teased her on purpose: "I think next Wednesday would be good. If you feel it's too soon, we can choose the Friday after next. But I have to tell you in advance. If we delay any longer, I'll be worried every day, afraid that you'll change your mind again. Then I'll have nowhere to cry."
Yunxia took the red paper from his hand, her fingertips tracing the neat handwriting on it. She couldn't help but smile, but still complained, "He's even more anxious than my mom."
Zhou Chiye: "How can we not be in a hurry?"
Yunxia looked down at the date on the red paper, remained silent for a few seconds, and said softly, "Next Wednesday it is, so you won't nag me every day."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chiye reached out and pulled the person closer to his chest: "Then after we get our marriage certificate next Wednesday, I'll go with you to your parents' house over the weekend to discuss it. I've almost finished preparing the dowry list and the design plans for the wedding room, so we can show them together and put their minds at ease."
Yunxia leaned against him, still holding the red paper in her fingers, and looked up to ask, "What about your parents? When are you going to tell them?"
Zhou Chiye lowered his head and rubbed the top of her head, his tone relaxed: "You don't need to worry about my parents. I've already mentioned you to them, and they're looking forward to seeing you every day."
"After we get our marriage certificate, I'll pick a time to take you back home, and we'll tell them about the pregnancy at the same time. I guarantee they'll be even happier than I am."
"My parents have wanted me to leave the entertainment industry for a long time, hoping that I can settle down and start a family soon."
Yunxia hummed in agreement, her fingertips gently tracing the words "Suitable for Marriage" on the red paper, and the last bit of hesitation in her heart dissipated.
Seeing that she didn't argue anymore, Zhou Chiye lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the top of her head, then started nagging again: "Then I'll go find the household registration book tomorrow and double-check the materials I need to bring to get the marriage certificate. Where did you put your ID card? I'll keep it for you so you don't forget it."
Yunxia, exasperated by his nagging, pushed his arm and said, "I know, I can keep it myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly twitched slightly, and she instinctively pressed her lower abdomen.
Zhou Chiye immediately fell silent and anxiously leaned closer: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, maybe the little one is moving." Yunxia smiled and looked up at him: "Zhou Chiye, please stop bringing me lunch every day for a while, my colleagues are asking about it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chiye said, "Then just tell them that it was your husband who brought you the lunch."
When Yunxia heard the word "husband," she paused for a moment, then turned her face away and said, "Dream on. My relationship with you can't be made public yet."
Zhou Chiye clicked his tongue but didn't insist any further, agreeing with her: "Okay, whatever you say, I'll have my assistant deliver it to you on time every day."
He gently brushed his fingertips against Yunxia's hand, his tone softening slightly: "But you have to give me a straight answer. We can't keep it a secret forever, can we? After we get our marriage certificate and meet each other's parents, when are we going to go public?"
"As for the wedding, you're still in the early stages of pregnancy. Once the pregnancy is more stable after three months, we can hold the wedding."
Yunxia paused for a moment, then looked up at him: "Let's talk about it after we get the marriage certificate, meet each other's parents, and settle down."
Seeing this, Zhou Chiye gently rubbed her shoulders and added, "By the way, my team is already drafting a public relations plan for our withdrawal from the entertainment industry. Once we've finished getting our marriage certificate and meeting each other's parents, we'll pick a suitable time to officially announce it."
Yoon-ha said, "If you hadn't fallen for me, you would still be a big star, running around doing gigs and filming movies, instead of having to revolve around me and the kids like you do now."
“Zhou Chiye, I don’t want you to regret it. I don’t want you to regret making these decisions for me in the future.”
Zhou Chiye tightened his grip on her hand: "Regret? I only regret not bringing you home sooner."
He gently brushed his fingertips across her lower abdomen, his tone softening: "Before, I pretended to be glamorous in front of the camera, running around until the early hours of the morning, like a rootless weed."
"Now I think about what to cook for you every day and how to make you vomit less, and that makes me feel at ease."
Yunxia felt a warmth in her heart from his words. Just as she was about to speak, he interrupted her: "Don't overthink it. Once we get our marriage certificate next Wednesday, you'll be my legally recognized Mrs. Zhou. I'll have to revolve around you for the rest of my life. You won't be able to back out even if you want to."
