Chapter 293: 135, head to America! Make money and fire the first shot in the counterattack against Chen Shanhe!_2
Looking at Lin Siyu, he couldn’t utter a single word.
All he did was continuously shed tears.
Lin Siyu wiped her tears and asked him, “Silly, I’m already awake, why are you crying?”
“I…” Zhang Li’s voice choked up, tears streaming down his face, “I… I’m afraid this is a dream… I’m afraid that once I speak… the dream will end…”
Seeing Zhang Li’s foolish appearance, Lin Siyu, with tears still in her eyes, smiled and pinched his arm hard, saying, “Does it hurt?”
Zhang Li, simple as he was, nodded vigorously: “It hurts.”
“So, is it still a dream?”
“No… it’s not a dream…”
“Good to know it’s not a dream, now stop crying.”
“Okay! Then you stop crying too!”
The two of them, crying and laughing, soon began to laugh.
But the tears just wouldn’t stop falling.
At this moment, the family members all hid far away, not wanting to be the third wheel.
“It’s clear, Siyu really likes Zhang Li.”
“This pair is going to make it!”
“That silly boy, why isn’t he hugging her already?”
“Exactly, is he waiting for Siyu to hug him first?”
“Keep your voices down, let the two of them get to know each other slowly!”
The family members quietly discussed among themselves.
And then, suddenly Lin Mo’s voice rang out: “Hey, you, didn’t you prepare a gift for my sister?”
Zhang Li was startled, as if suddenly remembering something.
This was no brother, he was practically a second set of parents!
He quickly pulled out the pink diamond ring he had chosen earlier and stammered, “Siyu, this, for you, put it on, it will, it will look really nice on you!”
“This is… a pink diamond? I, I can’t accept it, it’s too valuable!” Lin Siyu shook her head repeatedly.
“No… it’s not valuable, it’s, it’s from my brother, I thought you would definitely like it…” Zhang Li was so nervous he was almost incoherent.
After all they had been through, Zhang Li and Lin Siyu’s relationship was now deeper than that of some couples, but since they hadn’t broken through that final barrier and confirmed their relationship status, they were both a bit shy.
This was actually the most beautiful stage of love.
…
Because tomorrow was the Lantern Festival.
After dinner at home, Lin Mo suggested going out for a stroll and picking up some groceries, since the whole family was now happily together, why not properly celebrate?
The four elders all said they were a bit tired today.
They had been busy cleaning the new house recently, and truly were exhausted.
So, Lin Mo took his wife and daughter along with Zhang Li and Lin Siyu, driving to the largest mall in Moon Bay.
Perhaps because the Lantern Festival was tomorrow, the mall was especially crowded and lively.
Zhang Li and Lin Siyu unconsciously ended up walking together, not really shopping, just chatting as they walked.
Lin Mo and Li Jinwen didn’t want to be a third wheel, so they simply told the others to split up and browse on their own.
They just needed to buy what they wanted, and the rest would be purchased by Lin Mo and Li Jinwen.
As they strolled around, Lin Mo and Li Jinwen found themselves in the baby section.
It was filled with all kinds of items for young children.
A few months had passed and Li Jinwen’s belly was now slowly protruding, slightly showing her pregnancy.
Lin Mo looked around at the plethora of goods and asked, “Honey, should we start preparing things like bottles and diapers in advance?”
“It’s still early, no rush, we can start getting them in two or three more months.” Li Jinwen touched her small belly, her voice filled with anticipation, “By the way, husband, have you thought of any names for the baby?”
Lin Mo had been so busy recently that he truly hadn’t had time to consider this.
He looked at Li Jinwen and shook his head, “I haven’t thought of it yet, do you have any suggestions? I think the name should be strong and also simple and easy to remember, like our daughter’s, to be worthy of my son!”
Li Jinwen counter-questioned, “Why are you so sure it’s a son? What if it turns out to be a daughter?”
Lin Mo laughed, “Because I divine by observing the night skies, just like those times I predicted the rain correctly, right?”
“If I say it’s a son, then it’s definitely a son.”
“Baby girl, do you believe daddy?”
Lin Xiaoxiao, pushing the little shopping cart, nodded emphatically: “I believe daddy, daddy is the most accurate!”
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow at Li Jinwen and spread his hands, “See, children’s intuition is the most accurate. Our daughter believes me, and that means my prediction must be spot on!”
“Alright, alright, you’re the greatest, you’re the prophet, okay! I want to see what you’ll do if it turns out to be a daughter!”
“A daughter then! Two daughters would be nice too. To me, it doesn’t matter what it is, the important thing is the mother and child are safe!”
“By the way, husband, since we’ve been here, it’s been a while since I had a prenatal checkup. Once the Lantern Festival is over, we need to find a hospital for regular prenatal care! And our identities, there won’t be an issue going to the hospital, right?”
Li Jinwen leaned in to Lin Mo’s ear and asked softly.
Lin Mo slapped his forehead, “I forgot! I’ve been so busy that I forgot about something so important! I’ll figure out a way, it’s easy. After the Lantern Festival, we’ll go for the checkup!”
“Okay!”
Li Jinwen nodded.
She had not brought up the topic previously because Lin Mo had been busy, so she didn’t want to add to his troubles or make any decisions about visiting a hospital for checkups on her own.
Still, prenatal care is essential and shouldn’t be indefinitely delayed.
Today, after Lin Mo finished his tasks, he mentioned he would be free for a while, prompting Li Jinwen to raise the issue.
The family pushed the shopping cart, talking and laughing while purchasing various items for the next day.
