Chapter 329 - Handsome Man, Pretty Lady

Perhaps, it was due to her small frame, but Li Qin Yao thought that her stomach was getting bigger as days past. Fortunately, due to the cold weather, she was always dressed in thick clothing and so, none of her staff had noticed the slight change in her appearance.

New Year was approaching and both Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Han were busy with their works before the long holiday. 

That morning, Li Qin Yao received a phone call from her mother-in-law and the two of them catch up for a little bit before Liu Hui Lan announced their flight next week and Zhang Yu Han will be picking them up at the airport.

At the thought that the family will gather and she and Zhang Yu Han planned to tell everyone about her pregnancy, Li Qin Yao was suddenly excited. She couldn't stop and wonder what will be everyone's reaction upon hearing the news.

Although her in-laws had never said or asked anything regarding their plan on having a child, Li Qin Yao was fully aware that everyone, and especially Zhang Jing, was looking forward to the news. At this time, Li Qin Yao suddenly recalled that this will be the first time that she will be celebrating New Year with Zhang Yu Han.

Half an hour after the long-distance call ended, Liang Sheng came to her office and knocked on her door.

Li Qin Yao raised her head and looked at the wristwatch. "Is it time?"

Liang Sheng nodded. "Everything is ready. We can go anytime you want."

"Let me pack up first," Li Qin Yao said. She watched her ȧssistant nodded and began to organized the documents on her table. Then, she grabbed her coat on the rack and headed out.

Surprisingly at this time, her bodyguard, Nian Ting was not around to wait outside as she usually would. Li Qin Yao craned her neck to look for that girl and frowned when she could not find her.

"Did you see Miss Nian?" Li Qin Yao asked Xiao Lian Yi who sat the nearest. 

"She went out after she received a call," Xiao Lian Yi said. "She did not say anything before she left."

"What are you doing here?" Li Qin Yao asked.

"Of course I came here for you," Zhang Yu Han said. He helped to tuck a few strands of hair behind her ears and adjusted her clothing. "Were you surprised?"

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. "So, that was why I couldn't find Nian Ting anywhere."

Because her husband had appeared by her side, naturally, Nian Ting would go away to leave the couple. According to Zhang Yu Han, when he was around her, he would be the one who will guard and protect her. With his skill and how he had previously sent to train with the Qi's, of course, having him around was better than Nian Ting.

Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle. "It's good to know that you were not trying to get away from Miss Nian."

Li Qin Yao wrinkled her nose. "It's pretty good to have Miss Nian around. At least, I would not have to drive."

Zhang Yu Han patted at her head. He lifted his head and nodded when he saw that Liang Sheng stood a distance away, waiting for them. "Didn't you say that you were going to visit the site today? I came to accompany you."

A light smile curled up. Li Qin Yao was fully aware that her husband was worried that she had mentioned visiting the construction site the other day. It was not that she had forgotten her body condition, however, this project was important to her and before the bump on her stomach started to appear more obvious, Li Qin Yao wanted to have a look at the site.

Li Qin Yao was aware that later, she can only let Liang Sheng and Xiao Lian Yi be her eyes and ears and trust that the two of them will help her to keep their eyes on the project.

Because Zhang Yu Han had grabbed a taxi to come to B City, the two of them then took Li Qin Yao's car and headed to the construction site and Liang Sheng brought his car.

It was not difficult to guess that her husband had wanted to spend his time accompanying her once she was done with her site visit.

When they arrived at the project site, Zhang Yu Han helped his wife off the car and before he helped her to put on some protective gear for her. Once his wife was dressed properly, Zhang Yu Han wore the safety helmet and the two of them went with Liang Sheng to the site. Zhang Yu Han was introduced to the site manager and a few other people at the site before they started their tour.

It has been a while since the last time Zhang Yu Han came over to the site. Previously, he had only heard the site progress through his wife. Now that he was walking around the site, Zhang Yu Han watched as his hotel tower had risen tall.

Soon, when the construction was done, he will then have to meet a few people to discuss more on the interior of the hotel. As he continued to listen to the site manager's explanation, Zhang Yu Han then glanced at his wife and saw the unmistakable pride in her face. Seeing her expression, Zhang Yu Han had the urge to kiss her, but can only restrain himself considering the inappropriate place and time.

After walking around the site for a while, Li Qin Yao went to a safer place. The group was looking at the blueprints and looked at the scene before them and exchanged their opinions. Then, Li Qin Yao spoke briefly with Liang Sheng and the site manager and left them with a few instructions.

When Li Qin Yao turned around, she caught her husband staring at her and quickly went over to his side.

Zhang Yu Han quickly took off the safety gear on her body before he led her into the vehicle. "Are you tired?"

"I'm still alright?" Li Qin Yao smiled when she saw the worried expression on his face. "Today will be the last time. Later, I will not be able to come over to the site until I give birth. Once we announced that we are expecting, I will delegate more tasks to Liang Sheng and Xiao Lian Yi."

Zhang Yu Han heaved a helpless sigh as he listened to her. "Alright. I know. I might not know much about the construction site, but if you need my help, you can just ask."

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. "I know. My husband is the best." Seeing the slight frown on his face, Li Qin Yao began to laugh. "Hubby, where are you taking me now?"

"You don't need to return to the office?"

"Since I already come out, I won't return to the office," Li Qin Yao said. A thought crossed her mind and there was a glint of light in her eyes. She put a hand at the back of her head and looked at her husband with a playful, lazy expression. "Handsome man, if you're free, how about going on a date with me?"

Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle upon hearing her words. He then turned to look at her with the same playful expression. "Are you sure you wanted to go on a date with me? Pretty lady, I usually charged per hour and it's not cheap."

Li Qin Yao stifled her laugh at his answer. "Don't worry. I'm quite rich. Recently, I came across a lucky charm that brought me good luck and wealth."

His face turned slightly dark at her answer. Since he could not do anything due to his wife's condition right now, Zhang Yu Han could only extend his hand and pinched her cheek to vent.
