Daily life after marriage
When Luan Yan heard the news that Luan Ran was pregnant, she wanted to move all the things in the house to her. After all, she had given birth to a child and knew how hard it was to be pregnant.
Xi Shangchen, the prospective father, came to ask Lu Sheng for advice on how to take care of a pregnant woman and how to bring up a child. Lu Sheng was an experienced person. The two brothers-in-law had a distant relationship in the business world, and their businesses were too different, but in life, they were both suitable to be nannies.
If it weren't impossible to change it, Xi Shangchen really wanted to change all his information to a pregnant status and tell the world that he was going to be a father.
Luan Ran was a little relieved. She believed that Xi Shangchen could be a good father. If he hadn't given her such a firm answer that night, she really didn't know what to do with the child. Maybe... she wouldn't give birth.
Luan Yan understood her feelings best.
Living close to each other, the two sisters often visited each other after Luan Ran became pregnant. Xi Shangchen's wife was taken away by someone if he wasn't careful. Just like Lu Sheng back then, he didn't know he was going home without picking up his wife. Sometimes he needed to use a killer move.
They have a lot of common topics in this regard, and even their anxiety is very similar, fearing that something unexpected will happen.
Luan Ran is pregnant with twins, which is more dangerous than for ordinary pregnant women. Xi Shangchen discussed with her to stop all the work on hand to prevent the pregnancy from being unstable. Luan Ran is naturally very careful about the baby, and she sent her leave to Luan Suqing. Luan Suqing only then knew that her youngest daughter was also pregnant.
She is not close to them, and it is difficult to get close to them at this age.
It's just that when she gave birth to them, she didn't have the conditions to take leave to take care of the baby. She was in a difficult situation, and outsiders were gossiping. If she were not careful in Luanshan, she would be controlled by those uncles and aunts, and her unwilling father would fight back.
Sometimes, she had no choice.
After all, she was Luan Suqing's daughter. She approved the leave note and made a special trip to see Luan Ran.
Luan Ran was not surprised by her mother's arrival. They were not close, but there was still a blood relationship. It was just that there were too many regrets, and it was difficult to heal.
It was rare for the mother and daughter to say a few more words. When Luan Suqing was about to leave, Luan Ran hesitated for a while, and decided to speak out, saying directly: "I will let my babies choose what they want to do in the future. They will not become anyone's heir. If mom has such an idea, please give it up as soon as possible."
Luan Suqing sighed. The older she got, the more tolerant she was. It was difficult for her to maintain the calmness, decisiveness and indifference of her youth. Those things made her stand firm on the bloodless battlefield, but did not make her warm in the family. She could not learn to change her identity.
If the daughter can do better, she is lucky.
"Your own child, teach it yourself." Luan Suqing said and left.
A big stone in Luan Ran's heart fell to the ground, and some emotions that had been hidden for many years were released one by one.
Not long after Luan Suqing left, Xi Shangchen came back from work.
Xi Shangchen frowned when he heard from the housekeeper that Luan Suqing had been here. Seeing Luan Ran staying at home obediently, he frowned even more, fearing that Luan Ran had been wronged by her mother and affected her mood.
He walked in carefully. Luan Ran was sitting at the head of the bed, flipping through a parenting book. Her belly was slightly bulging. The tenderness of motherhood was particularly beautiful on her. He had an idea and walked over to hug her shoulders, coaxing her softly: "If you are unhappy, you can vent to me, don't keep it in your heart."
Luan Ran tilted her head: "I'm not unhappy."
It feels good to be cared for. Luan Ran smiled again and explained: "My sister has an award ceremony today and doesn't have time to come to me. Mom just said a few words. I'm in a good mood. Don't worry so much."
"That's good." Xi Shangchen sighed and kissed her forehead lightly.
He couldn't help but worry. He had to call Luan Ran more than a dozen times a day, and he was distracted in meetings. He was the first boss to leave after work. His reputation as a workaholic was gradually lost. Many people began to call him love-brained, but he was happy. Lying on Luan Ran's belly every day to listen to the fetal movement was his greatest joy in life.
This was his wife, his child.
The most important person to him.
...
Lu Sheng was taking the two babies to the backstage of the award ceremony.
In the past two years, their work has improved. "Feast" has become famous. Luan Yan has also released two albums. There are new concerts planned for next year. She was nominated for very important awards, Best Album and Best Singer. This award has gold content and is recognized by the industry.
So, the news of their divorce began to spread again.
They were numb after hearing so many rumors. They didn't respond too much and didn't want the two children to appear on camera.
"Where's Mom?"
Nuan Nuan and Lu Lu liked to be held by their father most of the time. Now they got down from their father's arms and looked for their mother everywhere.
Lu Sheng pointed to the TV hanging above: "It's there, it will come out in a while."
The staff brought two small cakes.
Nuan Nuan and Lu Lu said in unison: "Thank you, pretty sister~"
Lu Sheng's mouth twitched a few times. he don't know who taught them, these two smart guys, they call girls pretty sisters when they see them, and call boys handsome brothers when they see them, and they always pretend to be well-behaved outside.
The staff member was overjoyed, they were beautiful and sweet-mouthed, if it weren't for Boss Lu here, she would have wanted to steal the child.
Outsiders only think they are cute, but in fact, raising children requires great patience and wits, and courage. At home, they are little troublemakers. Every time they get into trouble, they look at adults with their big, blinking eyes. How can their parents bear to be mean to them?
Luan Yan and Lu Sheng sometimes have no way to deal with them. They start crying when the tone is a little bit stronger. The two-year-old baby has learned to cry tears, and their wet eyes are like black grapes.
As Luan Yan expected, they only spoiled the children, but this would not work. The more they spoiled, the harder it would be to discipline them. Sometimes they would not learn their lesson without being scolded. They would test the bottom line of adults. If this bottom line is too low, they would not be able to be pulled up in the future.
Luan Yan was fierce once. The only time was when the two babies said "I hate mom" when they were angry. As a result, she cried more miserably than the babies. In her imagination, she should be a good mother and a gentle mother, loved by the babies. She did not want to be like Luan Suqing, but there was a gap between ideal and reality, and she did not know what to do.
Later, Lu Sheng became the villain. The babies cried easily, but they were also easy to coax.
"Sit down obediently."
With Lu Sheng's words, the two little cubs sat obediently on the sofa, opened their mouths to eat the cake fed by their father, and did not fight or grab.
"When will Mom come out? Dad, I miss Mom." Nuan Nuan said with a circle of cream around her mouth.
Lulu walked with her short legs to get tissues for her sister. When she saw her mother on the TV on the wall, she immediately said happily, "It's Mom!"
The children were just angry. If they really had to choose, they would still like their mother the most.
After eating the cake, it was time for the award ceremony to officially begin.
Lu Sheng often played Luan Yan's songs for them. Before they came, he also said that the children were very smart and knew that their mother was here to receive the award.
Luan Yan didn't get the Best Album Award.
The two kids didn't know what the award was for, and they didn't have much of an idea of this honor. Lu Sheng, who was backstage, was the most nervous person in the whole audience, until the presenter read out Luan Yan's name - Best Singer Award.
Lu Sheng's heart was relieved.
His Yan Yan got the honor she deserved, and he was the proudest person in the world for her.
Luan Yan walked up to the stage to receive the award. She didn't burst into tears and was excited. She took the award calmly and generously. After bowing, she stood in front of the microphone and said: "According to convention, you may have to thank your agent, relatives, musicians, or express many opinions, and the meaning of making music. My words are meaningless. I just want to thank a man named Lu Sheng. Without him, maybe I wouldn't have insisted on this at the age of seventeen."
Lu Sheng paused in front of the TV. He asked Luan Yan about her acceptance speech. Luan Yan said she didn't write it. She really didn't write it. This was her improvisation.
It was not an acceptance speech, but a naked confession.
Lu Sheng smiled, holding his daughters in one hand and the other, and said, "Let's go, we're going to pick up mom."
Pick her up and go home.
