101: Side Story 1: Jiang Li & Fu Xiangqi
After the wedding ceremony came the banquet.
Naturally, the banquet was held here as well.
The chefs were all from Bright Moon Residence and Louju Pavilion; there were sixteen courses, along with staples, desserts, and fruit.
Accompanied by Fu Xiangqi, Jiang Li changed into a red toasting dress.
Since the weather was still quite cold, she wore a fleece-lined shawl over it.
“Lili, this is water. Don't drink any more alcohol.”
Fu Xiangqi handed Jiang Li a bottle of fake wine.
“Okay, I understand.”
Because there were many guests invited, the number of tables exceeded a hundred.
By the time Fu Xiangqi and Jiang Li finished their toasts, it was already one o'clock.
He quickly took Jiang Li to rest.
“Lili, honey, eat something first.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Li finally got to eat; she was simply too exhausted.
That main wedding gown weighed thirty pounds, and the train was five meters long.
She had just drunk a lot of water and was now in desperate need of food, feeling like she was starving to death.
Jiang He and Jiang Yan came to their sister's side. “Big Sister, are you tired?”
Jiang Li ate while saying, “Tired. That wedding dress was too heavy.”
“Big Sister, your wedding dress was covered in real diamonds, and they were all flown in. It couldn't even be folded. It can only be worn once.”
If this were before, she would have found it extravagant, but now, it only happens once in a lifetime, so it should be exactly as one wishes.
Jiang He and Jiang Yan stayed with Jiang Li until Fu Xiangqi came over.
There was another banquet in the evening. Seeing that the time was about right, she changed her dress.
This was a Hepburn-style gown.
“Lili, honey, let me massage your shoulders.”
“Okay, today was too exhausting.”
“You've worked hard, honey. I've finished distributing the wedding candies, one box per person. I also gave the bridesmaids their souvenirs for you.”
“Mm.”
The evening banquet.
Fu Xiangqi appeared with Jiang Li, and everyone present looked at the two entering.
The protagonists had finally appeared.
This banquet was mainly to host the couple's friends.
Such as university classmates, high school classmates, and brothers.
Since there were no elders from the parents' generation, the people present were very relaxed.
Fu Xiangqi also rarely immersed himself in the atmosphere.
Jiang Li was also dancing in the center of the dance floor.
Naturally, the photographers were recording everything.
At eleven o'clock at night,
The banquet ended. Leaving others to clean up, Fu Xiangqi took Jiang Li back to the bedroom.
“I'll go bathe first, I'm too tired today.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Li spent an hour bathing, and after she finished, Fu Xiangqi went to bathe.
When he came out, he found that the lights in the room had been turned off.
There were only two warm lamps by the bedside.
“Lili? Honey?”
“Hubby, I'm here.”
Fu Xiangqi heard her voice and turned to look.
He saw a scene that made his desire flare up.
Jiang Li held silver and gold chains in her hands and was wearing sexy pajamas... no, it was a nightgown.
Fu Xiangqi subconsciously swallowed upon seeing this.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down; he felt even more parched and restless.
“Wife, you...”
Seeing this, Jiang Li stepped forward and pushed Fu Xiangqi down onto the bed.
He was already standing by the bed, so following Jiang Li's force, he lay directly on the bed.
Perhaps because the bed was soft, he even bounced a few times.
Jiang Li sat directly astride Fu Xiangqi.
Fu Xiangqi's hands instinctively gripped the waist he had been longing for day and night.
Jiang Li felt it but didn't stop him, only placing the chains on Fu Xiangqi's body.
Seeing the cool, icy chains tracing over his pale skin, he attracted her in every way possible.
“Hubby, I want a daughter!”
Hearing this, Fu Xiangqi sat up abruptly and kissed the mouth of the person who made his desire unbearable.
With a squeeze of his hand on her waist, Jiang Li felt a pang of pain and directly opened her mouth.
In the end, Jiang Li surrendered, her face flushed red, and even the corners of her eyes were not spared.
Only when Fu Xiangqi held Jiang Li could he feel that the quality of this nightgown was simply... too good.
Moreover, the 'big white rabbits' before his eyes were tempting him even further.
“Wife, I want...”
“Shh, let's just...”
Hearing Jiang Li's subsequent words, Fu Xiangqi pulled her directly under the covers.
After that, the entire bed began to move.
The specific time was unknown; the bedroom's blackout effect was too good, making it impossible to tell what time it was.
Jiang Li felt as if she were on a cloud, descending one moment and ascending the next.
Her body was beyond her control.
She woke up only to faint again, completely unaware of how long it lasted.
Finally, she lost consciousness completely.
Fu Xiangqi looked at the person in his arms and checked the time: one o'clock in the afternoon.
Twelve hours.
“Wife, I love you. Go to sleep!”
“Mmm... sleepy, tired!”
Jiang Li's voice was hoarse, and she no longer had the strength to say anything more.
This time, she slept straight through until the next morning.
Six o'clock,
Jiang Li woke up in bed and wanted to speak, but found that her throat couldn't make a sound.
It was both sore and itchy.
Furthermore, she felt as if her waist, legs, and hands didn't belong to her anymore.
It hurt even to move.
In the end, she gave up and just lay flat.
Fu Xiangqi received a message from LQ saying the mistress of the house had woken up.
He immediately went upstairs.
He was carrying a glass of honey water.
Upon entering, he saw Lili lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Knowing he had been far too excessive yesterday, he asked softly, “Wife, drink some water. You'll feel better.”
Jiang Li couldn't speak; she glared at the culprit and nodded.
Then she was picked up by Fu Xiangqi, leaning against him as she began to sip the water bit by bit.
Fu Xiangqi naturally saw his wife glaring at him, but in his eyes, she was just a fiercely cute little kitten with no deterrent power whatsoever.
Jiang Li felt much better after drinking the honey water.
Fu Xiangqi served her without complaint.
But the final outcome was still a week of abstinence.
Initially, it was a month of abstinence, but after some bargaining, it became a week... Three months later, Jiang Li woke up to find it was already ten o'clock.
“Why did I wake up so late again!”
However, seeing the marks on her body, she knew how excessive she and Qi Qi had been yesterday.
She didn't know what was going on lately; she had a bit of an increased libido.
Jiang Li went downstairs to the dining room. Looking at the food before her, she felt so hungry!
Fu Xiangqi also happened to return and saw Lili.
So he came over to accompany her.
Just as he sat down, she felt a wave of nausea and immediately went to the toilet to start vomiting.
Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately went over. “Qi Qi, what's wrong with you?”
“I don't know. I felt a bit nauseous seeing that food just now.”
“How can that be? It didn't taste spoiled to me! Let's go to the hospital and have a look!”
Jiang Li was really worried since Qi Qi kept vomiting.
At the hospital, Fu Xiangqi underwent a series of examinations. In the end, the doctor looked at them and found no problems at all; his body was so healthy it didn't need any supplements.
However, this phenomenon was very obvious.
The doctor asked, “Lethargy?”
Jiang Li said, “A bit, I can't get enough sleep.”
The doctor asked, “Can you eat?”
Jiang Li said, “I can! My appetite has been particularly good lately!”
The doctor understood. “Young Master, you should take the Young Madam for an examination instead!”
Fu Xiangqi heard this and asked, “Examine what? What's wrong with Lili?”
“You'll know once you go for the check-up! Remember, it's the 7th floor, Obstetrics and Gynecology!”
The doctor shouted as he watched the two figures leave.
After all, this would be the first of the Fu Family's great-grandchild generation.
After the examination, Fu Xiangqi and Jiang Li were still a bit dazed.
She was pregnant, and looking at the dates, it was from the wedding day.
Fu Xiangqi thought about the past three months and immediately went to find the doctor.
The doctor took a look. “There aren't many issues, it's just that one of the babies isn't developing very well, so it might be underweight at birth.”
Fu Xiangqi asked, “Doctor, there are two babies?”
“Yes. You need to be careful lately... cough, also, pregnant women sometimes have increased desire, but it still needs to be controlled.”
The doctor said this as a reminder, looking at the marks on Jiang Li's neck.
Hearing this, both Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi's ears turned red.
The hospital matters reached Fu Youchi's hands as soon as the test report came out.
When Fu Youchi received it, he immediately went to find He Yue.
He Yue was currently designing a necklace and her train of thought was interrupted by the person who suddenly burst in.
“Fu Youchi, didn't I say not to let you in!”
Hearing this, Fu Youchi immediately apologized, “Wife, don't be angry, look at this first!”
Although He Yue was angry, she could still control herself.
She took Fu Youchi's phone and looked at the message on it.
“Is this your illegitimate child? How old are you, and someone actually wants to bear your child! Fu Youchi, I want to...” divorce you.
He Yue completely failed to realize that this belonged to her son and daughter-in-law.
After all, they had said before that they weren't in a hurry to have children.
So subconsciously... Fu Youchi heard this and said, "Wife, what are you thinking! This belongs to that brat Qi Qi. You're going to be a grandmother, and Lili has two children in her belly!"
He Yue was originally very angry, and she didn't even have time to say what she was going to say next.
She just heard that she was going to be a grandmother!
Then she lowered her head to check carefully, "Really! I'm going to be a grandmother! Let's go, let's go, we're returning to the country right now."
Fu Youchi heard this and said, "Wife, no rush. We'll go back tomorrow morning. It's dark over here right now."
"Okay, I'll pack the things now. I also need to think about what to bring for Lili. Pregnancy is very hard."
"Lili seems to like gold and such. Should I go buy some? There are only jewelry and diamonds here," He Yue muttered to herself.
Fu Youchi was a bit stunned, then saw his wife open the safe. "Wife, are you sure you want to give her gold bars?"
"Why not? I think it's quite good."
"Wife, should we buy some things like nutritious food and fruit?"
Fu Youchi felt that these seemed more appropriate!
Lili didn't lack these gold bars anyway. That brat of his was a tycoon with mountains of gold; even he couldn't compare.
He Yue heard him and said, "Hmm, not bad. Let's do that!"
So she opened her phone and immediately placed an order.
It would be about the same by the time they returned tomorrow... At the castle,
Jiang Li was carefully escorted back by Fu Xiangqi.
"Wife, whatever you want to do, don't move at all. I'll do everything."
He cautiously placed her on the sofa.
Mu Jin and Mu Nuan walked over.
"Miss, Young Master-in-law, how were the check-up results?"
Jiang Li smiled. "It's nothing, he's just experiencing some pregnancy reaction effects."
Mu Jin felt she understood every word, but when put together, they didn't make much sense.
She had a look of complete confusion.
At that moment, Fu Xiangqi felt something and immediately ran to the bathroom.
Mu Jin saw this and asked, "Miss, what kind of illness is 'pregnancy reaction effects'?"
"I don't know, but Qi Qi definitely has it. You could say he's bearing it for me."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, Mu Jin looked at her in surprise, "Miss, you..."
"There's a little life in my belly!"
Jiang Li gently stroked her stomach.
Mu Nuan also looked at her mistress's belly.
"Miss, is there anything you want to eat? I'll go make it right now."
Fu Xiangqi had just finished vomiting in the bathroom and returned.
He saw the two sisters, Mu Jin and Mu Nuan, showing their concern.
Fortunately, luckily, he always felt this way—with the two of them around, he felt more at ease.
"Mu Jin, Mu Nuan, you two sisters shouldn't take any leave until Lili gives birth."
"Yes, Young Master-in-law."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang received the news and came over the next day.
Father Fu and Mother Fu also rushed over and finally arrived.
"Lili, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"
Jiang Li heard the voices and originally planned to get off the sofa to greet them.
As a result, she had just put on one shoe when she was pressed down.
It was her mother-in-law, He Yue.
Her strength was so great; was this still her gentle mother-in-law?
But hearing the words of concern, she said, "No, Mom, don't worry!"
Mother Jiang came over, "You must be careful, you know? You're the mother; you're more important than the child."
"Mom, I know."
"Both Dads, please sit down quickly too."
"Okay."
Everyone was talking, but no one cared about the person vomiting in the bathroom.
When Fu Xiangqi came back, he saw a group of people feeding his wife.
It was so uncomfortable; fortunately, he was the one enduring it. If it were Lili herself, he wouldn't know how to stop his heart from aching.
"Dad, Mom. Dad, Mom."
Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, Father Fu, and Mother Fu saw Fu Xiangqi's current appearance. "What's happened to you? It looks like your essence has been drained. Could you have..."
Father Fu wanted to voice the suspicion in his heart, but was directly interrupted by Fu Xiangqi.
"Dad, what are you trying to say? This is a pregnancy reaction, alright!"
Father Fu heard this, "You're not a pregnant woman, yet you have pregnancy reactions? If I find out you've done Lili wrong, don't blame us for disowning you as our son."
Fu Xiangqi was tired and turned to look at his wife.
Jiang Li saw the aggrieved man and immediately explained, "Dad, it's true. Qi Qi is bearing the pregnancy reactions for me, which is why I don't have morning sickness."
Father Fu heard this, "Good, this brat is finally of some use."
Talk about double standards!
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were full of joy seeing this scene; who wouldn't like seeing their daughter being so popular in her husband's family?
Thus, the four of them stayed over to take care of the pregnant Jiang Li.
Jiang He, Jiang Yan, and the others all came back to look after her.
After Jiang Nan finished his business trip, he immediately stayed home to help take care of her.
Because of the twins, Jiang Li's legs were always swollen and very uncomfortable.
So the family members were constantly giving her daily massages.
Seven months finally passed.
Jiang Li woke up and felt that her stomach didn't feel quite right.
Fu Xiangqi happened to come out of the bathroom.
He was still wrapped in a bathrobe.
"Husband, I think I'm about to give birth."
Hearing this, Fu Xiangqi immediately picked her up to go to the hospital and had LQ notify the others.
He hadn't expected it to be half a month before the due date.
Only Mother Fu and Mother Jiang were at home, so they went to the hospital together.
Father Fu and Father Jiang heard the news and rushed to the hospital immediately.
Jiang Yan had just finished a lawsuit and had just left when she received the news and immediately headed to the hospital.
Even the intern following behind her didn't know what had happened.
Jiang He was off duty this afternoon, but she didn't expect her sister to give birth in the morning.
So she immediately headed to Modu Hospital.
Jiang Nan was still discussing a partnership, but upon receiving the news, he immediately stood up and left.
His good friend Gu Yubai and the assistant didn't know what was happening, so they immediately stepped in to take charge of the situation.
At Modu Hospital,
Fu Xiangqi was wearing a bathrobe with bloodstains on it.
He waited anxiously outside the delivery room.
Mother Fu and Mother Jiang were also outside, looking at the delivery room with worry.
When the others arrived, this was the scene they saw.
Father Fu and Father Jiang asked their wives and finally learned what had happened.
Lili had a premature birth and ended up with a major hemorrhage.
They had already drawn from the blood bank once just now, and now they were doing it again.
Fu Xiangqi stared into the delivery room, the bloodshot veins in his eyes rivaling the bloodstains on his body.
He was regretting it in his heart; why did he let Lili get pregnant?
It took about three hours before the doctor finally came out.
"Young Master, the Young Mistress is fine now. Due to the major hemorrhage, she is currently in a deep sleep. She'll just need some nourishment once she wakes up!"
"Mhm, I understand."
"And..."
Before the doctor could finish, he was interrupted by a gust of wind.
It turned out Jiang Li was being brought out, and Fu Xiangqi immediately stepped forward to see her.
The two nurses following behind the doctor didn't know what to do either.
"Um, President Fu, the Young Mistress has given birth to dragon-phoenix twins. However, the girl's weight is insufficient, so she needs to stay in an incubator for a while."
Father Fu took the little boy, seeing that his features were very similar to Lili's.
As for the little girl, she looked very much like his own son, and there was even a pear blossom birthmark behind her ear.
Jiang Li also had this birthmark, but it was on her back.
He only knew about this birthmark because Fu Xiangqi had mentioned it... When Jiang Li woke up, she saw the bloodshot veins in Fu Xiangqi's eyes.
"Husband, you haven't rested well, have you?"
"Wife, I was scared to death. I'm going to get a vasectomy tomorrow. Wife, let's never suffer like this again."
Jiang Li knew she had given birth to a boy and a girl and was satisfied. Hearing this, she said, "Okay, no more babies."
After a week, Jiang Li's body finally felt a bit better.
The girl Jiang Li gave birth to was also mostly fine now.
The nurse brought the children over.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang had also seen the children earlier.
"Lili, this boy looks like you, and this girl looks like Xiangqi. Plus, there's a pear blossom birthmark behind her ear."
Jiang Li looked at the children and really couldn't tell where they looked like her.
Perhaps that's just how different people see things.
" Pray, Have you decided on a name yet??"
"I have. The boy will be named Fu Zhiheng, and the girl will be named Fu Zhiyao."
"Zhiheng, Zhiyao. Those are lovely names."
"Our Zhiheng, our Yaoyao."
