A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"What did you say?"

Lu Yang didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, go to sleep."

Li Xixue sat on the edge of the bed and untied the belt of her bathrobe.

Lu Yang turned and went to the bathroom.

The sound of water could be heard.

Soon, the bathroom door opened.

Lu Yang walked out, drying his hair, with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body.

Li Xixue turned her head to look at him.

"come over."

Lu Yang walked to the bedside and threw the towel on the chair.

Li Xixue patted the spot next to her.

Lu Yang lay down and placed his hand on her waist.

Li Xixue blushed: "You... the doctor said to be careful in early pregnancy."

"I know."

Lu Yang's hand stopped at her waist. "So I'll be gentle."

Li Xixue didn't speak.

Lu Yang leaned in and kissed her lips.

Li Xixue placed her hand on his shoulder in response.

This kiss was gentler than the previous ones.

Lu Yang's hands roamed over her body, moving very slowly.

Li Xixue's breathing was a little erratic.

"Lu Yang..."

"Um?"

"You really need to be gentler."

"rest assured."

Lu Yang moved very carefully.

Li Xixue closed her eyes, her hands gripping the bed sheet.

Only the sound of two people breathing could be heard in the room.

Time passed little by little.

Li Xixue's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Lu Yang lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"Baby, how are you?"

Li Xixue didn't answer, but buried her face in the pillow.

Lu Yang laughed, turned her over, and made her face him.

Li Xixue's face was very red, and her eyes were a little wet.

"You...you shouldn't laugh."

I didn't laugh.

Lu Yang helped her straighten her hair, saying, "I just think you're very cute."

Li Xixue glared at him.

"I'm not cute."

"cute."

Lu Yang kissed her again, "She's so cute."

Li Xixue pushed him away.

"Go to sleep."

I don't want to sleep.

"So what do you want to do?"

"One more time?"

"roll."

Li Xixue pushed him aside and pulled the blanket over herself.

Lu Yang lay down beside her with a smile, his hand on her waist.

The two of them lay there like that.

After a while, Li Xixue touched her belly, and then her voice slowly came over.

"Who do you think the child will resemble when they grow up?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

"I don't know, but I hope I don't end up like me."

Why?

"I'm afraid he'll become as lazy as me in the future."

Li Xixue turned around to face him.

"Then let him be like me."

"Like you?"

Lu Yang laughed, "Then there will be two workaholics in the family from now on."

Li Xixue glared at him.

"I'm not a workaholic."

"Aren't you?"

Lu Yang reached out and tapped her forehead. "Look at your old schedule. You get up at six every morning and go to bed at midnight, and you have meetings on weekends."

Li Xixue did not refute.

Because what Lu Yang said was true.

"It won't happen again."

Her voice was very soft.

Lu Yang hugged her a little tighter.

"Yes, it won't happen again. I'll be watching you."

Li Xixue didn't speak, but placed her hand on his chest.

The two of them were quiet for a while.

Lu Yang suddenly spoke.

"Baby, do you think if our child is a girl, will she be as aloof as you after she's born?"

"What do you mean by 'aloof'?"

"He's the kind of person who just responds with 'uh-huh' or 'oh' when someone talks to him."

Li Xixue punched him.

"I didn't do that!"

Lu Yang laughed and said, "You've always been like this."

Li Xixue recalled her former self, who was indeed not very talkative.

That's because...

"Why?"

"Because I don't know what to say."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

I don't know what to say?

Li Xixue slowly said, "Aside from work-related matters, I'm not very good at getting along with people."

Lu Yang then realized what was happening.

Li Xixue was raised by her maternal grandmother from a young age. Her parents were busy starting their own business, and after taking over the company, they worked overtime every day.

How could she possibly have time to learn how to chat with people?

"So, do you know how to do it now?"

"I understand."

Li Xixue looked up at him, "Because of what you taught me."

Lu Yang smiled.

"Did I teach you?"

"Yes, it's because you talk too much."

"So I turned you into a chatterbox?"

"Who's the chatterbox?"

Li Xixue punched him again.

Lu Yang grabbed her hand.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, go to sleep. You need to get more rest."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement and closed her eyes.

After a while, she opened her eyes again.

"Lu Yang".

"Um?"

"Do you think I won't know how to take care of the baby after it's born?"

Lu Yang turned to look at her.

Li Xixue looked a little nervous.

"I've never raised a child before, and I don't know how to teach him."

Lu Yang reached out and touched her face.

"It's okay, I don't know either, we'll learn together."

"But……"

"But what?"

"I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

Lu Yang chuckled and gently touched the tip of her nose: "You manage a company worth tens of billions so well, why would you be afraid of not being able to raise a child properly?"

Li Xixue pursed her lips.

"I can handle company matters, but it's different with children."

"Isn't it different?"

"I checked online, and I'll hire all the necessary postpartum nannies and childcare workers when the time comes."

"That won't do, you have to take care of the child yourself."

After Lu Yang finished speaking, Li Xixue frowned slightly.

Will you help me?

"Of course, I'm his father."

Li Xixue's lips curved slightly.

"That's good."

Looking at her expression, Lu Yang suddenly felt like laughing again.

This woman usually manages a company worth hundreds of billions and isn't afraid of those old foxes on the board of directors, yet now she's worried about taking care of her child.

"no."

"Yes, your brow is furrowed."

Li Xixue reached out and touched her brow.

"I'm just... a little unsure."

Lu Yang pulled her hand down.

"Don't overthink it. There are still many months left. We'll deal with whatever comes next."

Li Xixue softly hummed in agreement, then nestled against his chest.

The two chatted for a while longer, but Li Xixue's eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she finally fell asleep.

Lu Yang looked at her sleeping face and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

And for some reason, she slept particularly soundly tonight.

A sense of peace I've never felt before.

Perhaps it's because the company's burdens have been weighing on her for years, and now she no longer has to bear them all alone.

After all, she is about to become a mother.

At the same time, a scene suddenly flashed into Lu Yang's mind.

Li Xixue held the child, her face serious, yet she seemed flustered.

Lu Yang found it increasingly amusing the more he thought about it.

Just imagining this young lady taking care of her child is enough to create a vivid picture.

He turned to the side, placed his hand on Li Xixue's waist, and closed his eyes.

The room fell silent.

the next morning.

Lu Yang woke up first.

He opened his eyes; Li Xixue was still asleep.

She was sleeping soundly, her brow relaxed, and her breathing even.

Lu Yang didn't wake her, and quietly got out of bed to go to the kitchen.

When Li Xixue woke up, she smelled food.

She sat up and glanced at the time.

I overslept again.
