Generally speaking, a pregnant woman's pregnancy will slowly start to show after 13 weeks, which is about three months.
In order not to affect the healthy growth of Xiao Yuanbao, the wedding of the three was scheduled for mid-October, when Xia Yuan was two months pregnant.
Because it was a wedding that went against public social mores, the scale of the wedding was not very large and only the closest family and friends could attend.
In addition to the three parents, Xiaoya and Yueyue, Meifang's grandparents are old and have difficulty walking. They probably can't accept a wedding of three people, so they were not included in the invitation list;
As for Xia Yuan's grandmother, she has been busy traveling around the world with her old sisters recently. Teacher Yu and Xia Xun have not yet made up their minds to ask her to come back. Teacher Yu has previously inquired about the grandmother's opinion. She and her daughter Teacher Yu both believe that as long as Yuan Yuan is willing, it will be fine, but it is still too early.
As for the other friends, the three only invited the core group that Mei Fang had established since junior high school, including Zhang Ming, Yue Xinyi, Guo Yun, Peng Xue, Liu Xiaoyu, and Xiang Bingbing.
They are now all employed or signed in Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment Group. As a group of friends and relatives who have known each other since junior high and high school, they have always been able to keep the secret of the three-person group a secret. After all, they have a vested interest in each other, so they are trustworthy.
After all, there are already very few people attending the wedding, so I still hope to get as many blessings as possible...
The wedding venue was set on the private beach of the most luxurious holiday hotel in Bali. Mei Fang had completed all the preparations and planning half a year ago.
Although it was a small wedding with less than a few dozen people attending, the entire wedding team had a size of up to 200 people, and the preparations were very sufficient and complete. It can be said that it fully demonstrated Mei Fang's strong financial ability.
The wedding photos of Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had been planned and shot before they started preparing for pregnancy, and the wedding dresses had also been chosen long ago, so now they were just counting the days to prepare for the wedding.
Of course, inviting friends is also a necessary prerequisite. Yuanyuan has a lot of friends, but once she starts chatting with Peng Xue, they will chat endlessly. Today she stayed in bed all day and talked on the phone with Peng Xue.
"Well... Sure, what are you going to wear? You can wear whatever you want... Steal my limelight? No, I'm pretty confident in myself... You're not competing with you guys? I'm competing with Youxi... Youxi's dress is pretty too, but I shouldn't be mistaken for a bridesmaid... Oh, you're so annoying..."
Xia Yuan rolled around on the bed. After hearing a thudding sound, she raised her head and saw Mei Fang knocking on the door. Then she ended her warm conversation with Peng Xue.
"Okay, okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to get ready to eat. That's it for now. Bye!"
Xia Yuan climbed down from the bed, jumped into Mei Fang's arms, hugged Mei Fang's neck and then jumped up and hugged Mei Fang. Mei Fang quickly supported Xia Yuan to prevent her from exercising vigorously.
"I'm telling you... you're an expecting mother, aren't you afraid of hurting little Yuanbao by jumping around like this?"
"It's all right, it's all right!"
Xia Yuan leaned towards Mei Fang's mouth and asked for a kiss, "Our little Yuanbao is not that weak... and children are cuter when they are lively—mua—"
"No, I mean—"
“Mmmmm—”
Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang and kissed her madly. Then he saw Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia walking past them with a smile on her face. His face suddenly turned red with embarrassment and he immediately stood next to Mei Fang properly, touching her butt.
"Mom... Mom, why did you come here so suddenly? You didn't even say hello to us first... Ah Fang is really something, hey, hey..."
"Ah, don't worry about me, just be intimate with each other."
Because they were planning to go directly to Bali for the wedding, Mei Youyuan's parents were not in a hurry to go back. Instead, they chose to stay in a hotel suite not far from the community and prepare to attend the wedding. They would occasionally visit Mei Fang's home and help with housework.
Xiang Xiaoxia also started to help them tidy up their bedding while talking. "You are weak now, so you need to wash and dry the quilts and sheets more often. Change them frequently so that you won't get sick easily..."
"We basically change it every three days. It's okay, mom... Don't worry."
"Okay, okay, since you guys don't want your parents to take care of you more, at least let mom do something for you."
"But-"
Mei Fang took Xia Yuan's arm and whispered, "Don't worry about my mom today, let's go out and play."
"Are you going out today?" Xia Yuan tilted his head.
"I'm going to Bali by plane in two days, let's see if there's anything I want to buy..."
While Mei Fang was muttering, Lin Youxi had already appeared in front of Xia Yuan and Mei Fang in a gorgeous dress.
Lin Youxi was seen wearing a strapless evening gown with a charming and mature makeup, and she exuded the noble temperament of a royal sister.
"Hmm... Is Yuanyuan still staying in bed?"
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "How about... Yuanyuan, why don't you just rest at home?"
"Wake up, I'm going to go out! I haven't been out for a long time... Anyway, I'm going to put on makeup first."
Xia Yuan was about to rush to the bedroom, then she remembered that her mother was still making the bed inside. She suddenly didn't know where to go. Mei Fang saw this and took the initiative to go in and call her mother out so that Xia Yuan would have time to prepare her makeup.
Xia Yuan was pushed by Mei Fang's shoulders back to her room. Mei Fang whispered to Xia Yuan:
"You can dress up a little more dazzling today..."
"Today... is it more dazzling?"
After hearing this, Xia Yuan immediately became curious, "Are there any entertainment programs prepared?"
"It's meaningless if I say it, so let's prepare first."
Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Today is our long-awaited date with three people!"
Combing her hair by the window, and putting on flowers in front of the mirror.
While Xia Yuan was doing her makeup, she was looking forward to her dream wedding in Bali.
Although I already know the entire wedding process, I still have a strong sense of anticipation for the actual wedding scene.
Just as Xia Yuan was applying foundation, Lin Youxi knocked on the door and came in.
"Can I come in and talk to you?"
"Of course, of course! Why are you so polite? Youxi, you are so weird."
Lin Youxi smiled at Xia Yuan, then picked up the cotton pad beside her and said, "Let me help you."
"OK."
So Lin Youxi sat next to Xia Yuan, and while doing her makeup, she said with some emotion:
"Come to think of it, it was Yuanyuan who took me through the first time we put on makeup."
"Are you talking about the time when I secretly used my mother's lipstick? I remember it was when I was in the fourth grade..."
"That time doesn't count! I was just playing with the lipstick... I remember I accidentally broke the lipstick, and I was so scared that I cried. You said it was okay, but did your mother scold you later?"
"That time... It was so long ago that I don't even remember it."
Xia Yuan smiled and shook her head, "But my mother is a very easy-going person. I guess she didn't teach me a lesson at that time."
"I think you must have told Mother Yu that you did it yourself."
"Why do you feel that way?"
Lin Youxi combed Xia Yuan's hair, "Because that's just your personality. You would rather sacrifice yourself to protect others. It's always been that way since you were a child."
"But I haven't wronged myself in liking Ah Fang, haha..."
Xia Yuan took Lin Youxi's hand and turned back to ask Lin Youxi, "When was the first time you put on makeup?"
"Do you remember during the summer vacation in sixth grade? At that time, we said we were going to stay overnight at Afang's house. I went to find you first, and then I saw you putting on foundation in your room."
"Ah... Yeah, that night when we watched the horror movie!"
Xia Yuan suddenly remembered and her cheeks turned red. "Because this is my first time staying overnight at Ah Fang's house, I'm quite looking forward to it."
"You're looking forward to putting on makeup, right?"
"That's not... that's not to take you to make up as well."
Xia Yuan held Lin Youxi's hand and shook it, "I really don't remember when I started to like Ah Fang. Anyway, I am very happy to see him, and I am happier every day. And... I like him to praise me for being beautiful, give me energy and encourage me... Especially during the summer vacation of sixth grade."
"At first, the movement of energy seemed to be like this, right..."
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan looked at each other with their foreheads facing each other, their noses lightly touching.
"Woooa! How did you know that?!"
"I have seen it, but I didn't tell you."
Lin Youxi said softly, "But at that time I still felt that Ah Fang was your friend, and I also wanted to get close to Ah Fang, but I didn't dare."
"Youxi has indeed changed a lot... It's hard to imagine that she is the same person as she was when she was little."
"Yuanyuan hasn't changed much."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "But I like you like this, it makes me feel at ease..."
"Hehe, I also think I am reassuring."
Xia Yuan asked Lin Youxi softly, "Come to think of it, do you know if Ah Fang prepared anything special today? He actually suddenly asked for a date today."
"It shouldn't be anything... it's just been a while since the three of us went out together."
“Is that so—”
"Hmm..." Xia Yuan muttered and smiled, "How can I say no..."
"Let me guess—"
Lin Youxi leaned over and whispered something into Xia Yuan's ear, and they both couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Do you think Alfon will?"
"He has such a sense of ritual that he should remember that there is still one thing he hasn't done."
"Well... if he forgets, then all my waiting would have been in vain!"
"If he forgets, then remind him when we go on a date tonight." Lin Youxi said softly, "We have always been straightforward with each other. Sulking is not good for your health."
"That's true... Haha - let's eat, drink and have fun first, and then we can talk about it when we're happy!"
After Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi finished dressing up, they met Mei Fang. Mei Fang had combed his hair like an adult today and was wearing a handsome suit, obviously preparing for something.
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan smiled at each other, and Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang casually: "Ah Fang... why are you dressed so formally today?"
"It's a date, not just a casual outing. It has to be something formal." Mei Fang smiled, then stretched out her hands in a gesture of invitation, taking the hands extended by Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, and the three of them linked their arms and drove out to play.
When the lights come on, the bustling city that never sleeps, Shenzhen, is soon filled with brilliant neon lights, with light and shadow telling the unique charm and style of the metropolis.
"Ah Fang, where are we going for dinner today?"
"There's a Black Diamond restaurant near Aohai Road that's pretty good. It just opened in Pengcheng recently."
"Oh! I know that one, I heard the restaurant's line-up is booked until next year."
Lin Youxi continued with Xia Yuan's words, "But this kind of thing won't affect Ah Fang's arrangements. They must have been arranged long ago."
"It's great to have money, help..."
Mei Fang drove Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi to the Genting Restaurant which was built on the top floor of the building. The excellent viewing seats overlooked the night view of the entire Pengcheng. Coincidentally, the building on the opposite bank was the Yuanxi Twin Towers. The waiters brought the dishes one by one, and a sumptuous candlelight dinner was set up.
Mei Fang, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan were chatting and laughing while enjoying the gorgeous night view of the city.
Today's topic was mostly about interesting childhood memories, such as Yuanyuan's birth of hair, Afang being chased by frogs, Lin Youxi playing roller skating, and so on. As they chatted, the three of them couldn't help but feel emotional.
Xia Yuan raised his head and pinched his neck, "Time flies, and many years have passed without me noticing."
Lin Youxi gently took over the conversation and said, "Yeah... time passes too fast."
After the two of them exchanged some false sighs, they looked at Mei Fang at the same time.
"… "
"What's wrong?" Mei Fang tilted his head in confusion.
Xia Yuan held her chin with her hand and smiled, "Ah Fang, stop pretending. You've prepared such a ceremonial dinner, so there should be something more ceremonial that you haven't done yet, right?"
“Something more ceremonial…”
Mei Fang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "You said... is it a proposal?"
"What else? Such a beautiful scenery, such a romantic scene, doesn't it mean that you are preparing to propose?"
"ah."
Mei Fang showed a slightly surprised expression and touched his pocket awkwardly, which shocked Xia Yuan.
"No... Didn't Ah Fang plan to make up a proposal ceremony for us today?"
"You, you guys really want to have a proposal ceremony!"
Mei Fang looked very guilty. "Sorry, sorry! I was so busy preparing for the wedding that I hadn't really thought about this..."
Lin Youxi's reaction wasn't as big as Xia Yuan's, but it was obvious that she would mind it, "So, you're not prepared today? If not, I'll give you 24 hours to make up for it tomorrow..."
Xia Yuan also advised Lin Youxi not to worry about it, "24 hours is too tight... We're going to Bali anyway, why don't we just forget about it?"
Mei Fang also shook his head at this time, "That won't do! Waiting until tomorrow would be a big disappointment to your expectations. Wait a minute... I'll make up for the proposal ceremony now..."
"Well, we won't make it hard for you to be unprepared... I'm not really looking forward to it, really, it's just a formality anyway..."
"OK, look over there."
Following Mei Fang's gesture, I saw the towering Yuanxi Twin Towers opposite me.
…
…
…
Along with a snap of Mei Fang's fingers, two gorgeous fireworks rose into the sky with a whistling sound, blooming with brilliant brilliance. The two huge firework characters "缘" and "兮" stayed in the night sky for a long time, as if lighting up the entire Pengcheng.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the sky above the Yuanxi Twin Towers, admiring what was perhaps the most splendid and grand fireworks display in Pengcheng city in the past decade.
Countless fireworks bloomed and dispersed one after another, and the splendid fireworks show lasted for a long time. At the same time, a huge beating heart appeared on the giant LED screen of the Yuanxi Twin Towers. The lights of the entire Yuanxi Twin Towers also began to dance to the rhythm of the fireworks, forming a very beautiful picture.
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan's eyes were filled with colorful dreams and brilliant colors, and both of them unconsciously covered their mouths to prevent themselves from shouting out.
At this moment, Mei Fang put his arms around Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's shoulders, standing between them, and stayed with them until the fireworks ended.
"How about... did you like this fireworks show?"
"Ah Fang, you really... almost tricked me."
“In fact, the purpose of coming to this restaurant is very clear.”
Lin Youxi wiped her mouth, and then whispered, "However, I really didn't expect it to be such a ostentatious way... I think drones are better than fireworks. What do you think about setting off fireworks in the city, Ah Fang?"
"Anyway... we got the permit, and the fireworks look better. I think it's more of a ceremonial experience."
Mei Fang said softly, "It will make me miss the days when we watched the fireworks together by the river at the Cultural Square."
"So... it's true - I go to watch the fireworks every New Year."
Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi to turn around and face him. At the same time, Mei Fang half-knelt on the ground and presented Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan with the proposal gift he had carefully prepared.
A jewelry box containing rings, with two diamond rings inside.
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan looked at each other with a smile, then asked Mei Fang who was half-kneeling on the ground:
"Don't you want to say something, Alfon?"
"We won't accept this gift unless you say something."
"Well... then—"
Mei Fang, who was always thick-skinned, was actually a little shy here, "Yuanyuan, Youxi... would you please marry me? Like this."
Lin Youxi immediately showed dissatisfaction when she heard this, "Why is Yuanyuan in front?"
"That's right, why is Youxi behind us?" Xia Yuan also waved his fist in protest, "I want to be behind you!"
"Oh, you two really are-- stop ruining the mood."
Mei Fang cleared his throat and spoke again:
"Please marry me. I will treat you well for the rest of your life and make you happy forever."
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi slowly stretched out their hands forward. Mei Fang wanted to bring water, so she simply took a ring and carefully put it on Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi at the same time.
"Okay, you did a good job this time." Lin Youxi nodded, "It's just that the proposal lines are nothing special."
"That's what I mean... With our relationship, how can a lifetime be enough? Come, watch me."
After Xia Yuan put on the ring, she hooked it around Mei Fang's little finger, and then asked Lin Youxi and Mei Fang to stretch out one hand and hook their fingers together, so that they formed a triangle.
"The three of us, Afang and Youxi, will always be together forever."
Xia Yuan shook Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's hands, closed her eyes and whispered her innocent wishes.
"Pin it up, hang yourself, for a hundred years... No, you can't change it for several lifetimes."
Okay, I've finished the changes. That's it! I won't repeat it tomorrow!
