Chapter 336 - Wife, Congratulation

Over the weekend, Zhang Yu Han drove over to his grandfather's place earlier in the morning to sent his wife over. After sending their luggage to their room, Zhang Yu Han spun around and placed both hands on Li Qin Yao's waist.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you need to hurry to the airport due to the traffic?" Li Qin Yao asked. Though she was asking those questions, her hand moved to rest on his ċhėst before it moved up to hold him tightly.

"Qin Yao, do you know what day is today?" Zhang Yu Han buried his nose on the crook of her neck and smiled.

Li Qin Yao tried to think over his question and could not figure out the answer. She already knows that her parents-in-law will be arriving today and they will be celebrating New Year in the day after tomorrow. But surely, he was not expecting to hear these answers.

"You didn't know?" Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle.

"No," Li Qin Yao pulled away to look at his face properly. Looking at the playful on his face, Li Qin Yao suddenly had a foreboding.

"Of course, it was the beginning of your second trimester," Zhang Yu Han said, pinching both her cheek as his wife continued to stare at him in dumbfounded.

It took her a while to react and soon, Li Qin Yao's face turned a shade redder and she slapped at his ċhėst. How can she not guess at what was on his mind when she saw the look on his face?

Zhang Yu Han laughed happily at her reaction before he pulled her back into his embrace. "Wife, congratulation on completing your first trimester." Then, he turned to kiss her on the cheek. 

He looked at her with the same smile on his face and said, "Alright. I'll go and pick up mom and dad at the airport." He took a step back and paused. His gaze lingered on her face for a few more seconds before he leaned in for a kiss.

What was supposed to be a light kiss had turned into a long deep kiss.

Zhang Yu Han pulled away and stared at his wife's closed eyes and gapped lips. Suddenly, he had the feeling that he had shot himself in the foot. 

With a sigh, he then turned around to leave.

Li Qin Yao puffed her cheek as she looked at his retreating back. She then followed him downstairs and watched as his Cayenne left the house. 

When she turned around, the house was empty. Earlier, Auntie Wu had told her that Grandfather was in the middle of a conference in his office. Meanwhile, her sister-in-law had gone out with a few friends.

After some thoughts, Li Qin Yao decided to stay around downstairs to wait for her parents-in-law to arrive and choose to walk around the small garden for fresh air. Anyway, the doctor did recommend her to walk around as her exercise.

However, she was surprised upon finding her sister-in-law sitting at the garden rattan chaise. 

"Yu Ying?" Li Qin Yao called and the girl turned around to face her. "Auntie Wu said that you went out with a few friends."

Zhang Yu Ying's eyes sparkled upon seeing her sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, you're here! I came back some times ago and decided to stay around here for some fresh air." She craned her neck to find her brother and raised a brow when she could not see him. "Where's my brother?"

"Your brother went to the airport to fetch mom and dad," Li Qin Yao said. 

"Oh… So that's why. Usually, my brother would not stop sticking around with you whenever he can. It was strange to see you here alone." She then patted at the space on the chaise. "Sister-in-law, come here. Sit down. Let's have a chat."

"What's wrong?" Li Qin Yao decided to sit a distance away lest Zhang Yu Ying would suddenly hug her and felt her protruding stomach. How was she going to keep the secret of her pregnancy for a few more days, then?

Zhang Yu Ying leaned back on the chaise and let out a long, heavy sigh as she looked at the blue sky. "Sister-in-law, you must have been confessed to a few times, right?" 

Li Qin Yao was suddenly reminded of Wei Jun Hao's request the other day. A slight smile appeared on her lips and Li Qin Yao raised her eyebrow suggestively at her sister-in-law. "What is it? Someone confessed to you?"

Zhang Yu Ying let out another sigh. "Well, it was not the first time someone had done this." She then turned to her sister-in-law. "But this person is very persistent."

"You don't like this person?"

There was a long silence on Zhang Yu Ying's part. "It's not about liking or disliking. But I have known this person for years and I thought of him more of a… friend." She chose the word as she was afraid that her sister-in-law would be able to guess the subject of their conversation.

At this time, Li Qin Yao was pitying Wei Jun Hao for being friend-zoned.

"If you don't like this person the same way, you should tell him clearly," Li Qin Yao said. "It's not nice to give this person a vague answer and give him hope. At least, he can move on and start thinking of a new relationship."

Zhang Yu Ying thought over her action towards Wei Jun Hao recently and knew that she had never rejected him properly. In the past, she always took his confession as a joke. Until he came to meet her last week and told her to give him a chance.

Was it possible that she was leading him on?

Zhang Yu Ying knew that his sister-in-law was right. If she did not like Wei Jun Hao, she should give him a proper rejection. However, even she could not understand why she was never able to give him a proper rejection.

Wei Jun Hao always treated her well and she enjoyed his company. At the thought that Wei Jun Hao would be seeing someone else, Zhang Yu Ying suddenly felt a tug in her heart.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu Ying could not understand what she felt. Could it be that she actually like Wei Jun Hao even a little bit?

Though she would always say that her brother was an idiot in a relationship, Zhang Yu Ying had a sudden realization that perhaps, she was even more of an idiot.

Zhang Yu Ying continued to stay in silence for a long time before she suddenly sat up, let out a shout, and messed up with her hair until it turned to something that resembled a bird's nest.

When she looked up again, her sister-in-law was staring at her with a hand on her ċhėst.

"Sister-in-law. What should I do? Maybe I like this person just a little bit?"
