Summer Kiss

Chapter 217 Worth it
Jiang Yuning and Fu Xicheng stayed in Yuncheng for a few days, and their footprints covered every corner of Yuncheng.

Afterwards, they returned to Kyoto, and the first thing they did upon returning was to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

From then on, they became a legally married couple protected by law.

On Jiang Yuning's father's birthday, Fu Xicheng and Jiang Yuning held a grand and dreamlike wedding.

After marriage, with the support and encouragement of Fu Xicheng, Jiang Yuning opened a studio.

She was busy until very late every day, so how could Fu Xicheng bear to let Jiang Yuning stay up all night alone? Whenever it was late at night, he would always stay by her side silently.

One day, Jiang Yuning seemed to realize something. She checked her phone calendar and suddenly said, "Fu Xicheng, I think I might be pregnant."

Upon hearing the news, Fu Xicheng was first taken aback, then his eyes filled with surprise and delight.

He couldn't help but hug Jiang Yuning, his voice trembling with disbelief, "Ningning, are we going to have a baby?"

Jiang Yuning leaned against him and nodded gently. "I'm not really sure either. My period is more than ten days late this month, and I've been feeling a bit off lately."

Fu Xicheng gently cupped her face in his hands. "Ningning, wait for me at home. I'll go buy a pregnancy test now."

Jiang Yuning glanced at the sky outside; it was already late, and she didn't want Fu Xicheng to go out.

"It's so late, you can go tomorrow."

Fu Xicheng couldn't wait any longer. Some pharmacies were open 24 hours a day, and no matter how late it was, he was eager to know an accurate result, otherwise he would not be able to sleep all night.

He released Jiang Yuning. "Ningning, wait for me at home."

Fu Xicheng hurriedly drove to the pharmacy. Worried that one test might not be accurate, he bought several more pregnancy test strips.

On the drive home, a wide smile played on his lips as he imagined himself as a father—a picture filled with responsibility and happiness.

Upon arriving at the villa, he sprinted up to the second floor and shoved the pregnancy test into Jiang Yuning's hand.

"Ningning, go get tested quickly."

Jiang Yuning looked somewhat helpless and had no choice but to go to the bathroom.

Fu Xicheng followed behind her.

Jiang Yuning frowned. "Fu Xicheng, why did you follow me in? Go outside and wait."

Fu Xicheng's legs were trembling slightly. He held onto the sink, hoping to witness a miracle.

"Ningning, there's every part of you I haven't seen before, and I just want to stay here and protect you."

Jiang Yuning decisively placed the pregnancy test stick in her hand on the sink.

She said in a serious tone, "If you don't go out, I won't take the test."

Upon seeing this, Fu Xicheng quickly left the bathroom.

He stood outside the door, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

He was so nervous that his forehead was covered in sweat. After two minutes, he gently knocked on the bathroom door. "Ningning, are you done?"

An annoyed voice came from the bathroom, "What's the rush? If you keep rushing me, I'll shove your head into the toilet."

Fu Xicheng said nonchalantly, "If you're happy, then go ahead and press it."

Soon, Jiang Yuning opened the bathroom door, and Fu Xicheng looked at her expectantly.

Jiang Yuning rolled her eyes at him, "The results aren't out yet, what's the rush?"

Fu Xicheng walked quickly to the sink, staring intently at the pregnancy test.

Suddenly, as if he had won the lottery, he excitedly ran to Jiang Yuning's side, hugged her, and spun her around happily. "Ningning, we're having a baby. From now on, you don't need to worry about the studio. Your most important task now is to take good care of your health."

Jiang Yuning didn't take it to heart. "I'm not that delicate. Fu Xicheng, there are still many things to do at the studio. I can't not worry about them."

Fu Xicheng didn't want Jiang Yuning to continue working at all; he wanted her to stay home and take good care of herself during her pregnancy.

But he knew very well that, given Jiang Yuning's personality, she would never stay idle.

Fu Xicheng pondered for a moment and said, "Ningning, how about this? I'll pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day. If you can't finish your work on the same day, I'll help you finish it when we get home."

Jiang Yuning raised an eyebrow. It was naturally a good thing to have someone help her with her work. With Fu Xicheng's intelligence, handling the affairs of the studio would be a piece of cake for him.

"Then what about your company's affairs?"

Fu Xicheng's eyes were now completely on Jiang Yuning, and he had no time to care about anything else.

"Your health is the most important thing. The company can't compare to you. From now on, I have to supervise you. You absolutely can't stay up late anymore."

Jiang Yuning smiled and said, "Alright."

...

As the days slipped by, Jiang Yuning's belly grew bigger and bigger. Fu Xicheng became more and more careful, taking meticulous care of Jiang Yuning in every way.

One day, Jiang Yuning couldn't help but complain to Fu Xicheng, "Fu Xicheng, look at me now, I look like a big, round ball, it's so ugly."

Fu Xicheng placed his hand affectionately on Jiang Yuning's pregnant belly and said with deep emotion, "Ningning, in my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful, and you should know that this is the fruit of our love."

Jiang Yuning smiled, her lips pursed. Since their marriage, Fu Xicheng had always gone along with her wishes, and she was very happy every day.

Time flowed quietly, and as the pregnancy progressed, one day, Jiang Yuning's emotions became extremely unstable.

Sometimes she would fly into a rage over the smallest things.

Jiang Yuning's eyes were red, like a wronged little white rabbit. "Fu Xicheng, where did you put my favorite potted plant?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xicheng noticed the change in Jiang Yuning's tone and quickly explained, "Ningning, I was afraid the fragrance of the flowers would affect you, so I moved them to another place. Don't worry, I'll bring them to you right away."

Jiang Yuning was unimpressed. She huffed arrogantly, turned away in a huff, and refused to acknowledge Fu Xicheng.

Fu Xicheng moved the flowers over and said carefully in a soft voice, "Ningning, don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry. If you're still not satisfied, I'll kneel on the keyboard for you to calm down."

Jiang Yuning turned around and glanced at Fu Xicheng, her troubled mood gradually calming down.

A hint of guilt crossed her eyes. "Fu Xicheng, I just lost my temper with you again."

Fu Xicheng didn't care at all, "Who told you to be my precious baby? Even your little temper is cute to me."

Jiang Yuning smiled gently; she could always hear the sweet words she liked from Fu Xicheng's mouth.

……

Finally, the day Jiang Yuning gave birth arrived, and Fu Xicheng waited anxiously outside the delivery room.

His sharply defined face was etched with tension and worry, and a thin layer of sweat glistened on his forehead.

Just then, a clear and loud baby cry suddenly came from the delivery room, and Fu Xicheng froze on the spot.

A short while later, a nurse came out to announce the good news, "Congratulations, it's a little princess!"

Fu Xicheng's eyes reddened. He rushed into the delivery room and kissed Jiang Yuning's tired and pale face.

His voice was slightly choked, "Ningning, thank you for your hard work."

“Fu Xicheng, I’m not tired, because it’s all worth it.”
