Chapter 572: Chapter 489 Who Would Believe It
When Li Si arrived at Su Meng’s house, she happened to catch Su Meng freshly awake and strolling in the villa garden.
Seeing Li Si visiting her, Su Meng was delighted. "Sisi! You’re wonderful! I just thought about calling you to ask what you were up to!"
Ever since Long Wu had driven away everyone in the villa and hired a new nanny, the pressure she felt had significantly eased.
No more her mother-in-law’s spying eyes, no more her own mother’s nagging—her world instantly brightened up.
Li Si blinked her eyes: "Well, let me tell you some good news that’ll make you even happier!"
Li Si noticed that Su Meng’s complexion was much better compared to the other day. Her dark circles were gone, her skin had gained a glow, and her lips were no longer dry and cracked, though her eyes carried a fleeting trace of worry.
This struck Li Si as odd, but she figured Su Meng was probably concerned about the baby in her belly.
So she didn’t press further, worried that it might ruin Su Meng’s hard-earned good mood.
"What is it?" Su Meng asked curiously.
Li Si hooked her arm through hers, "We’re planning to postpone our honeymoon trip to Bali!"
Actually, now, it seemed like a good idea to delay. At least they wouldn’t feel so rushed and pressed for time.
Besides, Leng Ning’s wedding preparations came up as she was set to get engaged this October 1st. Li Si could help with some early arrangements.
When Li Si and Leng Mochen had their wedding, Leng Ning had helped out a lot too.
"Wow! Really?" Su Meng exclaimed, but soon realized she might have seemed too happy. After all, it was a long-standing plan, and Li Si might feel let down about canceling it.
"What’s the reason? Is it because of me?"
Her smile faded at the thought. Maybe Long Wu had said something to Li Si and her husband?
She didn’t want her issues to disrupt their lives.
Li Si chuckled and tapped her forehead, "You silly girl! How could you think that? It has nothing to do with you! It’s already July 20-something. Even if we left tomorrow, how many days could we enjoy?
You know Mo Si International is launching on August 18th; my husband’s running around like crazy trying to manage everything! If he had wings, he’d probably take off into the sky!
You can’t expect him to work himself to death just so we can have fun!"
Su Meng thought it over and found her reasoning sound. Even if they went traveling, there were so many things to take care of—it wouldn’t be a proper vacation.
And time was indeed tight! All things considered, if they could play for half a month, that’d be a stretch.
Hearing Li Si describe her husband as flying around the way she did, Su Meng pictured Leng Mochen sprouting wings, which she couldn’t help but chuckle at.
Still, Su Meng held herself together and teased her seriously, "Exactly! If he runs himself ragged, where would you find such a doting husband again?"
"Oh, come on!" The two exchanged smiles, their camaraderie reminiscent of the early days of founding Simeng.
While chatting and walking, Li Si worried Su Meng might get uncomfortable from walking too much and led her to the gazebo to sit down.
"Sisi! How long after your C-section did it take for you to manage the baby by yourself?" Su Meng asked casually after sitting down.
Li Si tilted her head and recalled, "I think it was right after the postpartum confinement month ended, but you know, my son only needs me when it’s time to nurse. Everything else is handled by Sister Ding! Has Brother Wu already found a maternity nurse?"
Li Si thought Mrs. Su would definitely help out then, so Su Meng likely wouldn’t need to care for the baby alone anyway.
Su Meng smiled faintly, "It was his mom arranging all that before. But since you came by that day, I talked to him about it, and his mom’s people were sent away. Now everything is being arranged by him.
I imagine the nurse should be arriving soon. I just hope she’s as easygoing as your Sister Ding."
"That depends! Each person has their own personality and way of doing things! Speaking of which, where’s your mom?"
"She’s not here. I told her to go back to her place so she could get some proper rest. Ever since I got pregnant, she’s been running herself ragged looking after me.
Once the baby comes, she’ll have plenty of work to keep her busy!" Su Meng gazed at the clear blue sky, avoiding eye contact with Li Si.
Li Si nodded in agreement, "True! I’ve noticed since your pregnancy, you’ve gained some weight, but your mom seems to have gotten thinner! It’s okay, though; once the baby’s born, she’ll probably recover after a few happy days with her precious grandchild!"
Su Meng lightly stroked her round belly, smiling as she looked at her. "Sisi! You always know how to comfort people! What if it’s a granddaughter?"
Li Si froze, feeling that Su Meng seemed unusually odd today—her words felt drifting, and her gaze made her hard to read.
"Boy or girl, it’s still your treasure! Why overthink it? Meng Meng, let me tell you, you must stay calm now; the baby could come at any time! When I was about to give birth, I was overthinking too. My husband got so annoyed with me, he said—let me mimic his expression and tone for you—’Stop fretting about useless things! Just go wash up and sleep!’ It made me so mad!"
Su Meng snorted, "Your husband said that to you? Who’d believe it!"
That Leng Mochen, who pampered Li Si endlessly, could hardly say such a thing. If anyone could, it’d probably be Long Wu!
Li Si put on a mock tearful expression, "Why are you like Bai Shasha now, not believing a word I say? Is my husband just that perfect in your eyes?
Looks like I have poor public opinion support!"
Actually, Leng Mochen did say that back then. But afterward, of course, it was all sweet tenderness and affectionate nights.
Even if things didn’t go all the way, some things could still happen—you know what I mean!
Her joke made Su Meng laugh uncontrollably. "Don’t blame us for not believing you. How about this—since the weather’s nice today, why don’t we call your husband, Shasha, and everyone else over for a gathering?
Then we can directly ask him, can’t we?"
Seeing Su Meng in rare high spirits, Li Si felt happy but pretended to be reluctant: "We’re really going to ask? That’d be so embarrassing!"
The more she acted this way, the bigger Su Meng’s grin grew. "Of course we’re asking! And we’ll make sure you’re separated so we can see what he really says!"
"You’re all such troublemakers!" Li Si lamented.
But she still picked up her phone and dialed Bai Shasha.
As Su Meng watched Li Si laugh brightly while talking on the phone, she couldn’t help but envy her.
Envying her personality, envying how even after an arduous past, she now had her own happiness.
Unlike herself, who after enduring countless hardships, finally achieved a fairytale romance with Long Wu, only to realize it was nothing but an illusion.
No wonder many people say fairytales are all lies!
No matter how much Long Wu did, he could never understand that some cracks, once formed, could only be temporarily patched up.
Repeated disappointment and heartbreak left scars on a woman’s heart, and a few confessions or apologies only go so far.
Those wounds would fester and worsen, becoming increasingly inflamed and unbearable. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile readers, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
