Zhou Qiao's hand lightly fell on his lower abdomen, and he turned sideways to look at Zhuang Xiubai, who was less than two meters away from him.

The handsome facial features are extraordinarily soft because of the deep sleep, giving her a sense of security that she hasn't felt for many years.

She asked herself: If she hadn't met Zhao Huan back then, would she have accepted Zhuang Xiubai a long time ago?

She couldn't find the answer, because she couldn't start over in life, but the only thing that was certain was that if she chose Zhuang Xiubai back then, she would also live happily.

She couldn't remember the scene of the first meeting with Zhuang Xiubai, who really caught her attention a month after entering the first semester of her freshman year.

Zhuang Xiubai is two levels higher than her, she is a scholar and a grass in the medical school, she is dedicated to her studies, and she doesn't even have a person of the opposite sex who has frequent interactions around her, and she is the white moonlight that many girls can't love.

At that time, she suddenly found that Senior Zhuang, who only reads the books of sages, always frequently appeared in various activities of their art department.

The eyes of the two often met in the crowd, but each time it was Zhuang Xiubai who first moved away.

Although the girl's mind is sensitive, she has Zhao Huan, and she doesn't take Zhuang Xiubai to heart at all.

It's really a mess of the world, she actually conceived a baby with this unsightly man back then!

If Zhao Huan knew, would he blame her and hate her?

As long as she thought of Zhao Huan, she felt a deep sense of suffocation in her heart.

After Zhao Huan left, she vowed to die alone, but she broke her promise in just a few years!

When she first learned that she was pregnant, she didn't have much affection for the little guy in her womb.

For these two months, she slept alone in the empty house every night, always confiding her thoughts to the little one.

Happy and unhappy, all to him.

He became an indispensable part of her life.

A few days ago, I chatted with Wen Lan on the phone, Wen Lan talked about how bad her original family was, and envied her father's loving family relationship.

Since then, she has been thinking about whether to give the baby a complete home.

The Zhuang family is also a scholarly family in Jiangcheng, Zhuang Xiu's white character is even more impeccable, if the baby grows up in this family atmosphere, it is definitely a hundred times stronger than her alone!

Zhao Huan is gone, she is still alive.

Not only alive, but also a baby.

As a mother, if you can't pave a smooth road for your baby, it's better not to give birth.

"Wake up."

I don't know when, Zhuang Xiubai has woken up, interrupting her long drifting thoughts.

She said "um", "Zhuang Xiubai, I'm thinking about a problem."

"Tell me about it." Zhuang Xiubai pulled the wound on his arm when he bowed, and his brows were furrowed in pain.

Zhou Qiao looked at Zhuang Xiubai calmly and gently for the first time, "I-I want to give the baby a home."

The expression on Zhuang Xiubai's face froze instantly, "What did you say?"

"I want to give my baby a home." Zhou Qiao sat at the head of the bed with his knees crossed, his voice trembling, "Let's get married."

"You're not talking in your sleep, are you?" Zhuang Xiubai got up from the rest chair and couldn't wait to stand beside her.

Seeing that she was contemplating her eyebrows and thinking hard, Zhuang Xiu's white heart was half cold: "Zhou Qiao, my heart has long been hurt, so don't sprinkle salt on it anymore."

Her clear eyes were full of stubbornness, and she took the initiative to meet Zhuang Xiu's white eyes and said in a dark voice, "I want to give the baby a complete home."

"No repentance!" Zhuang Xiubai hugged her in a hurry, "If you are really sincere, you will get the certificate tomorrow and hold the wedding next week!"

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she paused, "You can get the certificate tomorrow, it's too hasty to hold the wedding next week, let's do it next month."

"I'll listen to you for everything, and the wedding will be held next month." Zhuang Xiubai took her hand as she spoke, and said softly, "You don't like me now, it's okay. If you still think about Zhao Huan in your heart, I won't eat it. Feelings come out, the rest of our lives are long, and what we have is time."

"Take your time, don't push me too hard." Zhou Qiao gently pulled Zhuang Xiubai's hand away, "From now on, I will try."

Spend time with you."

"I've been waiting for this for eight years!" Zhuang Xiubai couldn't hide the joy in her heart, picked up her mobile phone and said with a smile, "I want to share this good news with my parents and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou immediately."

Zhou Qiao smiled bitterly and did not stop him.

has agreed to marry Zhuang Xiubai, and it will be boring for her to be hypocritical.

Zhuang Xiubai made two phone calls, and soon, Zhou Qiao's mobile phone sang.

It's Zhou's mother.

Zhou Qiao generously admitted to Zhou's mother that she wanted to marry Zhuang Xiubai, and Zhou's mother was so happy that she stumbled when she spoke.

Then, Zhuang Xiubai pulled Zhou Qiao into the WeChat group of a family of three, and Zhuang's father and Zhuang's mother both sent Zhou Qiao a welcome gift by transfer.

Zhou Qiao's family has always been relatively wealthy, and Zhou Qiao doesn't attach much importance to money, otherwise he wouldn't have looked down on Zhao Huan from an ordinary working family back then.

Out of respect for the Zhuang family, she accepted the meeting gift unequivocally, and also sent two thank you emojis to Zhuang's father and mother respectively.

By the time the parents of both sides were appeased, it was already early in the morning, Zhou Qiao yawned and went to bed, and Zhuang Xiubai mustered up the courage to lie on her side.

Although she was a little resistant, she still controlled all the negative emotions, reached out and turned off the lamp on the bedside table, "Sleep, tomorrow I will go to get the certificate, and I will go to the hospital to change the dressing for you, some of you are busy."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xiubai let out a long sigh.

This night, he was very careful and never dared to get too close to Zhou Qiao.

The next morning, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau at half past eight and successfully applied for a marriage certificate.

Zhuang's mother found a feng shui master and chose an auspicious zodiac day suitable for the two to marry, the sixth day of the next month.

It has been 20 days since the two received their certificates.

In the past 20 days of preparing for marriage, Zhou Qiao has adapted to the identity of Mrs. Zhuang little by little, and can get along openly and honestly with Zhuang Xiubai and his family.

The day before the wedding, Zhou Qiao drove alone to the Western Suburbs Cemetery to say goodbye to Zhao Huan.

She burned a lot of paper money for Zhao Huan, and she also chattered a lot.

When she turned to leave, she found that Zhuang Xiubai had been standing behind her for a long time.

She took the initiative to speak, "I'm here to say goodbye to him. I stopped coming to see my baby until he was born."

Zhuang Xiubai stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, his voice was quiet, "Zhao Huan sacrificed his life to save you in the first place, hoping that you would live a better life, instead of carrying a heavy burden. Because if you truly love someone, you can only hope that she will be happy and complete."

"Yes, I'm happy, and Zhao Huan can smile at Jiuquan again." Zhou Qiao looked at Zhao Huan's tombstone at this time, and tears flowed from his eyes.

The moment the two walked out of the cemetery side by side, Zhou Qiao suddenly felt that the insistence in his heart had been relieved.

The wedding the next day was grand.

Five and a half months later, Zhou Qiao gave birth to a son named Zhuang Cheng.
