Chapter 341 - Where's My Red Packet?

Li Qin Yao browsed through her phone the next morning and saw tons of messages and e-mails pouring in.

Last night, after she had wished Zhang Yu Han with New Year's wishes, her eyelid grew heavy again and she started to fall asleep in his arms. She did not even know when did she had walked upstairs into the room and changed into her pajama…

She could only guess that Zhang Yu Han had carried her upstairs and helped her, but she was too tired to notice anything. Recently, Li Qin Yao began to notice that she would have long, deep sleep due to her pregnancy. If anyone did not wake her up, she can sleep for hours even when her surrounding was not as quiet.

Li Qin Yao called her mother and the two of them chatted briefly before her mother told her that a few of their neighbors are coming to visit. She then gave a call to her grandparents in Capital City and the call did not last for too long.

Once she was done with her phone calls, Li Qin Yao go through the messages and replied to her friends and business partners. Her hand stopped at Han Yue Xiu's name. She decided to compose a short message and waited for a while.

It hasn't been a minute when her phone started to ring. A smile curled on her lips when she saw that it was Han Yue Xiu. Li Qin Yao slid her finger on the screen and put the phone a distance away to avoid an incoming loud voice.

Just as Li Qin Yao had thought, as the phone call was connected, Li Qin Yao could hear Han Yue Xiu's loud, excited scream, followed by some incoherent words.

It was only when the loud voice was reduced that Li Qin Yao brought the phone to her ear. "Alright. Stop shouting. Han Yue Xiu, Happy New Year."

Han Yue Xiu took a deep breath to calm down. "Yao Yao, Happy New Year. Oh my god, Yao Yao! You're pregnant! And you're already in the fourth month before you decided to tell me? Am I still your best friend?"

Li Qin Yao laughed as she continued to listen to Han Yue Xiu's complaints. "Alright. Don't be mad. My husband and I decided to wait until we passed the first trimester before we start to tell anyone this news."

"Have you check whether it's a boy or a girl?" 

"It's too early to see that," Li Qin Yao said. "The last time I went for a scan, the baby was in the size of a lime."

"Ah?" Han Yue Xiu stared at the mandarine orange on the table as she began to wonder how was it possible for the baby to be a smaller size than the orange. Suddenly, Han Yue Xiu's found that her mind was not working properly. "Then, have your stomach started showing? Yao Yao! Send me pictures!"

The two friends chatted for a while until Han Yue Xiu announced that she will be coming to Y City next week.

"Yue Xiu, now that I'm pregnant, you're going to come and see me? Should I be touched?"

Han Yue Xiu chuckled. "You know that I have an apartment in Y City. Since the house has been empty for a while, I was thinking of renting it out. A few days ago, someone called and said that they wanted to look around. Since I will be visiting, Yao Yao, let's hang out together, alright?"

After her phone call with Han Yue Xiu ended, Zhang Yu Han walked into the room and smiled upon seeing that his wife was awake. 

"Did you have a nice sleep?" Zhang Yu Han asked. He glanced at the phone in her hand and asked, "Did you call mom?"

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. "Mom said she was going out with a few of her friends after lunch. It seemed that she was having fun without me around."

Initially, Li Qin Yao was worried that her mother would be alone without her celebrating New Year by her side. However, during her phone call earlier, Li Qin Yao could hear her mother's best friend, Auntie Ning's voice, and the lively atmosphere in the background. It was as if her mother was having a sleepover with a few of her friends.

Zhang Yu Han went over to her side and placed his hands on both sides of her waist. This was her first time celebrating New Year with him and his family and Zhang Yu Han was worried that she would be sad. 

Li Qin Yao saw the look on his face and knew what he was worried about. She had the thought to give his forehead a flick but found that she was too short to reach his height. 

"I'm fine," Li Qin Yao said. "I'm just worried that my mom would be alone without me around, but it looked like she was doing great."

Li Qin Yao always knew that her mother was a strong woman. 

Li Qin Yao linked her arms around his shoulder and tiptoed to kiss his jaw. Then, she looked at him with a coquettish look and asked, "Hubby, where's my red packet?"

Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle. Then, he took out a red packet magically and handed it to his wife. "For you."

Li Qin Yao stared at the red packet in disbelief. She was merely teasing him and he had pulled out the red packet from thin air… 

"For me?" Li Qin Yao pointed her finger to her nose. Seeing her husband nodded, Li Qin Yao reached for the red packet and peeked inside. Her eyes widened upon noticing Zhang Yu Han's generosity. She stood on tiptoe again and gave him a peck on the lips. "Thank you, hubby."

How can a peck be enough?

Zhang Yu Han pulled her closer to him and kissed her again. He only released her when he found that she was having difficulties breathing. His lips curled into a smile and he rubbed his thumb on her reddened lips.

Li Qin Yao quickly regained her thoughts and looked at him. "What are we doing today?"

Zhang Yu Han helped to tuck a few strands of hair behind her ear. "Earlier, Wei Jun Hao called to tell that he was going to come and visit."

It was then that Li Qin Yao recalled her last conversation with Wei Jun Hao. He had told her that he come over to Zhang's residence in New Year. Then, he will try to challenge Zhang Yu Han in a basketball match.
