"Really?" Su Yi smiled slightly and turned around in front of her. "How is it? Have I recovered my figure?"
Xiao Xiao said: "It's better than before. My skin is brighter and clearer."
"But I have a little belly." Su Yi pinched her little belly to show her.
"It's nothing. It will go away after some exercise."
Su Yi smiled and walked to the dressing table to put on makeup, "Oh, now I don't know whether to put on makeup or not. I feel like after giving birth to a child, I'm afraid my face will rub against her when I hold her. It's all chemicals."
"Then don't put on any makeup. Your skin looks great, without any spots or acne. It's crystal clear and rosy. Why do you need to put on makeup?"
"Hey, today is my daughter's 100th day party. So many people came to give gifts, so of course I have to dress up a little. How about you? How have you been lately?"
"Same old, okay."
"I heard that after you met your parents, they stayed in the capital?"
"Well, I live with them now."
Su Yi nodded, and while drawing her eyebrows, she asked, "Do the Xiao family's parents still bother you often?"
Xiao Xiao sighed, "In the beginning, they came to my door every day to beg me to let Xiao Ru go, but the media and passers-by were not very kind to them, so they scolded and ridiculed them when they saw them. Gradually, they dared not come anymore."
"But the house they live in now is still the one you bought?" Su Yi turned his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Yes."
“Are you planning on taking the property back?”
Xiao Xiao thought about it and shook her head, "Forget it, they are already miserable in their old age, let them live in the house until a hundred years later."
"You are still very kind." Su Yi smiled, finished the eyebrow tail, put away the tools, "Okay, I will just draw the eyebrows, nothing else, let's go, my daughter is taking pictures now, I will take you to see."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao got up from the chair, took Su Yi's arm, and went to see Lan Musu together.
When they arrived at the study, the photographer was taking pictures of Lan Musu. They brought a lot of clothes and props for the photos. Lan Musu was very well behaved. When he saw the camera, he even smiled on his own.
Xiao Xiao said: "She is so well behaved."
"Yes, our little Musu has always been very well behaved."
Xiao Xiao sighed, "It's good to have a daughter, a little cotton-padded jacket, I'm so greedy."
"Then why don't you have a second child and give it a try."
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao did not refute but smiled, pursed her lips and said: "I also hope to have both sons and daughters."
Su Yi immediately sensed something strange in the words, and said with a turn of his eyes: "Oh? Got it?"
Xiao Xiao nodded, looking shy, "Well, it's more than forty days now."
"Wow!" Su Yi exclaimed, "It seems that Chen Shimei is the sharpshooter."
Xiao Xiao shyly reached out to hit her, "What are you talking about? It's so embarrassing."
"To be honest, you are a sharpshooter. You said you wanted a second child, and it came true immediately. So Mrs. Ji is not against you now, right? After all, you already have a second child."
"She hasn't said anything now, and even asked me to go to Tanyuan for dinner."
"That's good." Su Yi was also happy for her and patted her hands. "This is something that everyone is happy about. Congratulations, Madam Ji."
"Hey, stop kidding me."
The two were laughing and joking. The little princess had already taken her hundred-day photo. The photographer called Su Yi over and asked her to choose materials for the umbilical cord stamp. Su Yi handed the child to the confinement nanny next to her and looked down at the materials to communicate with the photographer.
Xiao Xiao was getting a little bored waiting. Just at this moment, Fang Jiayi came over with a few small clothes. When she saw Xiao Xiao, she smiled and waved at her, "So you are here."
"What's wrong? Where did you go to find us?"
Fang Jiayi said: "The living room in the front is full of people, your husband is there too."
Xiao Xiao blushed, "What do you mean my husband? I haven't married him yet."
"It already counts as such. He has announced the wedding date in the media and you still want to deny it."
"But the wedding hasn't taken place yet."
"It's almost there." Fang Jiayi said, and as if she remembered something, she slapped her head, "Hey, I forgot about Ji Ling and only bought clothes for Princess Xiaoyi. Damn it..."
"It's okay, Ji Ling is already so big, there's no need, haha, but don't forget it when this thing comes out of my belly."
"What?" Fang Jiayi was surprised and looked at her belly. "You are pregnant again?"
"What do you mean by having another baby? It makes me sound like I've had many babies."
Fang Jiayi couldn't help laughing, "No, I mean, are you going to have a second child?"
"Yes, Ji Ling is already over five years old. If we have a child now, they will be six years apart in age by then."
"That's about right."
"I'll have to trouble you with prenatal checkups then."
"That's fine, it's my duty."
Xiao Xiao smiled, looked into Fang Jiayi's eyes, and said tentatively: "Now there are three of us. Xiaoyi and I both have children, but you are still single. What's the matter? Do you really look down on Mu Ziyin? He has been pursuing you for so long, why haven't you made any moves or expressed your feelings?"
When it comes to this topic, Fang Jiayi doesn't want to talk anymore. She squints her eyes and smiles a little awkwardly.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Xiao didn't say anything.
On the day of Lan Musu's hundred-day banquet, a lot of guests came. Everyone in the Lan family was so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
Fang Jiayi was quite relaxed, sitting at the table and eating the banquet dishes leisurely.
Su Yi, Lan Fuchu and their families were all on the stage, cutting the cake for the little princess and taking photos.
While eating, Xiao Xiao reminded Ji Ling, "Ji Ling, eat slowly, don't eat too much... If the rice is dry, drink some soup first... Pay attention to whether the fish has bones..."
She is like one of countless parents, caring for her children.
Fang Jiayi watched quietly, and suddenly felt that this world was very far away from her. The friends she played with in her youth gradually got married and had their own families and children. They focused on their husbands and children. Although they would occasionally meet with her and have meals together, in general, married life was their norm.
And unmarried older women like her seem to have gradually become a topic of conversation as time goes by.
The hundred-day banquet lasted until about nine o'clock that evening.
Mu Ziyan was helping the Lan family entertain guests and only came over to tease Fang Jiayi for a few words.
Fang Jiayi was always lukewarm towards him, not too cold, nor too gentle, just like a frog boiled in warm water; when the water was cold, the frog would freeze to death, and when the water was hot, the frog would be scalded to death.
At night, the Lan family's banquet was over, and all the guests walked out of the old house in groups of three or five.
Mu Ziyin parked the car at the intersection, originally intending to wait for Fang Jiayi to come out, but unexpectedly a young girl ran over and shouted, "Brother Yin!"
Mu Ziyin looked up and saw that the young girl outside the car was Lan Shichu’s friend, Cheng Siyun.
Seeing her, Mu Ziyin nodded politely.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Siyun opened his car door and got in. "Brother Yin, I just drank some wine and I'm a little drunk now. Please take me home."
This actually means to imply a favorable impression.
Just at this time, Fang Jiayi also walked to the front of his car. Seeing a girl sitting in his car, she glanced over and her eyes met the young girl.
When she saw Fang Jiayi, she seemed to know something and raised her chin in a demonstrative manner, provoking her.
Fang Jiayi rolled her eyes and stood at the intersection, not moving.
Mu Ziyin was about to ask Cheng Siyun to go down when he heard a man behind him say, "Jiayi, let me take you back."
Mu Ziyin turned around and saw that the damn Dean of the Ninth Hospital, Fu Jinglun, was sitting in the car behind him.
In fact, Fu Jinglun was really innocent. He came to the Lan family to give gifts today on behalf of the Ninth Hospital. Now he was going back alone. He happened to see Fang Jiayi waiting for a car at the intersection, so he thought of sending her off since it was on his way.
Then Fang Jiayi really walked towards Fu Jinglun's car.
At this moment, Mu Ziyin's heart felt like being stabbed by a needle. He pushed the car door open with a cold face, stepped down with his long legs, walked around to Fang Jiayi, grabbed her wrist and dragged her back, his eyes as bright as fire.
"What are you doing?" Fang Jiayi asked him with a cold face.
Mu Ziyin didn't say anything. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her to the front of his car. He said to Cheng Siyun who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Get out!"
“Brother Yin…” Cheng Siyun spoke coquettishly with a long tail tone, and there was obvious dissatisfaction and pleading in his voice.
