Chapter 39
Liang Manqing couldn’t resist Qin Qin’s coquetry and spent the entire night touching her until she fell asleep.
But Liang Manqing couldn’t sleep at all.
Knowing she was about to have a child left her somewhat overwhelmed, unsure of what preparations to make.
Filled with excitement, Liang Manqing spent the entire night doing research.
The next morning, she immediately hired a professional maternal and infant manager.
Qin Qin came downstairs and was astonished to see a line of housekeepers and nannies. W-what is going on?
Before Liang Manqing could speak, the newly arrived maternal and infant expert quickly brought out the prepared breakfast from the kitchen, setting roughly ten dishes on the dining table one by one.
Fortunately, the quantity of each dish was small.
Liang Manqing led Qin Qin downstairs, explaining as they walked: “When I’m busy with work, a professional maternal and infant management team will take care of your diet and daily life.”
“B-but we don’t need this many people,” Qin Qin had never been cared for by so many people before. In her previous life, she was always the one taking care of others. This made her genuinely uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry about it being too much trouble. They are a team, each with a different role. They are not all nutritionists; there are also prenatal education, body management, and other specialists.”
Liang Manqing was very thoughtful. Qin Qin was a female celebrity. Getting pregnant during the peak of her career would negatively impact it. Post-comeback figure management was crucial.
Qin Qin ate until she was almost stuffed, making sure to try every dish.
Qin Qin regretted: “If I keep eating like this, I’ll definitely gain too much weight.”
“No, you won’t. There will be post-meal exercise later. If you follow the instructor’s program, you’ll only get slimmer.” Liang Manqing finished smiling and checked the time. It was time to go to work. The Liang Group needed her, and her studio business was growing.
Working hard and earning money was the most important thing for her now.
It was what she should be doing.
When Liang Manqing left, Qin Qin followed her, reluctant to part, looking like she had something to say but holding back.
“What is it?” Liang Manqing saw Qin Qin’s expression and knew she had something on her mind.
Qin Qin no longer liked beating around the bush. She decided to ask directly. They were partners who shared a child now.
No, not quite partners yet.
Qin Qin nervously fiddled with her fingers: “When are we getting our marriage certificate?”
She didn’t feel secure without that certificate.
“You are so cute.” Liang Manqing reached out and stroked her head: “Wait for me.”
Getting married and obtaining the certificate was already part of Liang Manqing’s plan.
During a break at work, Liang Manqing interviewed more than ten wedding planners, filtering out several excellent ones. Every wedding proposal was good, but without Qin Qin there, she didn’t know which one the bride would prefer.
After hearing their proposals, Liang Manqing decided: “The few of you, please come to my house tomorrow.”
The wedding planners readily agreed. After all, the wedding planning process couldn’t be decided by just one person.
Qin Qin’s days at home were anything but boring. Her entire day was scheduled, leaving her no time to think about other things. She barely noticed when Liang Manqing returned.
Before returning to the new villa, Liang Manqing first went to her rented apartment and moved all her luggage out.
Perhaps it was the influence of the pregnancy on the Omega, but Qin Qin’s scent was all she could smell at all times now.
The first thing Liang Manqing did after returning was to wash up. When she went to Qin Qin’s room, she passed the study and found the empty room next door filled with baby supplies.
A small crib and all kinds of fluffy toys decorated the entire room in pink, making her heart feel soft.
Liang Manqing could already imagine the warm scene of their family of three here.
No wonder Qin Qin was so tired. The housekeeper said Qin Qin spent the whole day picking out necessities for the baby.
Liang Manqing looked at Qin Qin’s sleeping face. She reached out and gently stroked the Omega’s round nose: “Little dummy, why didn’t you wait for me to pick things out together?”
In her haze, Qin Qin felt someone had returned. She half-opened her eyes and said: “You’re back.”
“Mhm. How do you feel today?” Liang Manqing lay down next to Qin Qin, embracing the Omega as they slept.
“I told you everything about my day on the phone, but I’m so sleepy now.” Qin Qin felt very secure smelling the unique tequila pheromones on Liang Manqing. She could finally sleep soundly again.
When Liang Manqing wasn’t around, Qin Qin slept restlessly, only feeling safe when she returned.
The next morning, Liang Manqing prepared all the necessary documents and took Qin Qin to the Marriage Registry.
There was no time to waste in getting married and obtaining the certificate.
The two arrived very early; the registry hadn’t even opened yet.
Qin Qin sat in the car, watching Liang Manqing standing in line so earnestly in front of the registry. She felt a warmth in her heart.
The weather was a bit cold, with the wind blowing directly at them early in the morning.
Liang Manqing opened her down jacket and wrapped Qin Qin entirely in her embrace: “Didn’t I tell you to wait in the car? Why did you come out in the cold?”
“I’m not cold. The thought of getting the certificate with you makes me so excited.” Qin Qin touched Liang Manqing’s neck with her palm: “My hand is very warm. I’m not cold at all.”
Liang Manqing, conversely, wasn’t wearing a scarf, and her neck felt cold. Qin Qin used her palm to warm her.
The two smiled at each other as if time had stopped in that moment.
Liang Manqing cherished this moment. She needed to remember it.
She didn’t know if her current thoughts were right, but she felt worry and fear now.
Liang Manqing called out to the scum System in her mind: [What’s the next plot point?]
The scum System slowly floated out: [I want to know too.]
Liang Manqing meant to ask: [Will I still go back to my original world?]
The scum System simply threw its hands up: [Good luck, Host. Some things are beyond my control now.]
That sentence was full of implications: it meant Liang Manqing could travel back at any moment, or perhaps never travel back at all.
Liang Manqing truly wanted to curse the System. Can’t you be reliable?
Then she thought it was ridiculous. When has this scum System ever been reliable?
Qin Qin seemed to sense Liang Manqing’s emotional shift and looked up: “Sister, what’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Liang Manqing noticed that Qin Qin was very emotionally sensitive after becoming pregnant. She could feel the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Liang Manqing didn’t know what would happen next, but she needed to seize the present.
More and more young couples lined up in front of the registry.
Liang Manqing and Qin Qin were first in line and rushed in when the doors opened.
When they emerged, both held a little red book.
The two people in the photo were smiling brightly.
Qin Qin finally felt secure, but Liang Manqing’s heart was far from settled.
