Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and Ye Wanwan continued, "I’ve always been really looking forward to our Zhouzhou..."
Ye Wanwan’s words halted abruptly as she suddenly froze. She had apparently blurted out something she shouldn’t have in a moment of haste.
"Zhouzhou?" Shen Yi looked at Ye Wanwan, his expression seemingly puzzled.
Seeing that Ye Wanwan wasn’t speaking, Shen Yi glanced down at her slightly bulging belly.
"Hehe." Ye Wanwan laughed awkwardly, looking somewhat flustered. She swallowed hard and explained, "Well, Zhouzhou is the nickname I’ve given to the baby. Does it sound nice?"
"Which ’zhou’?" Shen Yi asked.
"The ’zhou’ in boating, as in a boat," Ye Wanwan explained. She watched Shen Yi’s expression, her heartbeat speeding up with each passing moment.
"How did you come up with such a nickname?" Shen Yi inquired.
"It just came to me all of a sudden, and I thought it sounded quite nice, so I chose it." After Ye Wanwan finished speaking, she looked at Shen Yi and felt a surge of nervousness, hastily trying to make conversation, "Why? Don’t you like it?"
"Not at all, it’s very nice," Shen Yi said and then placed his hand on Ye Wanwan’s stomach, speaking softly, "Then Daddy will call you Zhouzhou from now on."
Ye Wanwan had been closely observing Shen Yi’s demeanor, and seeing that he genuinely seemed not to have noticed anything amiss, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt somewhat helpless; why couldn’t she get even a small thing right? She had almost let something slip just now!
Fortunately, Shen Yi didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary afterwards, which allowed Ye Wanwan to completely relax.
A few days later, Ye Wanwan heard that Xu Chenfeng and Xun Lehan had started arguing in public.
Xu Chenfeng said, "If you want to make a scene, then there’s no wedding!"
After a moment of silence, Xun Lehan said nothing and just turned around and left.
Ye Wanwan was somewhat troubled; the trajectory of her previous life had completely changed!
She didn’t know whether the tribulations between Xun Lehan and Zhang Xiaowei were still there or whether they had come earlier or later; it was all unpredictable!
That day, when she asked Zhang Xiaowei to persuade Xun Lehan not to get married, she didn’t know if that method was of any use.
This was much more troublesome than when it was her own affairs; Ye Wanwan thought, if Heaven had specifically given her a chance to be reborn, could this be Heaven’s test for her?
But this test was far too difficult.
As time ticked by, the weather grew colder. When it was hot, Ye Wanwan didn’t want to go out due to the heat, and now that it was cold, she found her hands and feet freezing and didn’t want to go out either.
Fortunately, Shen Yi managed to finish his work quickly every day in order to come home and keep Ye Wanwan company, making her days less dull.
However, precisely because Shen Yi spent more time with Ye Wanwan, he was always quick to notice her occasional unusual moods.
In recent days, Ye Wanwan was somewhat melancholic. Shen Yi knew it had to do with Xun Lehan’s marriage, but there was something Shen Yi didn’t quite understand; Wanwan’s relationship with Xun Lehan didn’t seem to be close enough to warrant this level of concern.
So why had she been troubled over Xun Lehan’s marriage for so many days?
What was she worried about?
However, before Shen Yi could find an opportunity to ask Ye Wanwan what was going on, Ye Wanwan herself encountered a problem.
That evening, while the young couple was dining at the table in a very warm atmosphere, chatting about some trivial matters, Ye Wanwan’s phone suddenly "dinged" several times and continued to ring, signaling that someone was sending messages.
