Chapter 140

Xu’s handsome face filled with heavy fear and worry, his brows knitted deeply, lips tightly pursed, eyes as deep as the sea before him. Suddenly she felt very sad.Where had gone the man who should hav...Chapter 140

Ni Xuanyi held Li Yi's hand and followed him step by step into the church. Feeling her palm tightly clasped, she felt both excited and reassured.

Today, she was going to marry Li Yi!

The sunlight here was just right, with pure air seeming to carry transparent light. She looked up at Li Yi, who also turned back to look at her; the two exchanged a knowing smile.

The church was very quiet, with not many people present, but it was filled with countless flowers. All the seats reserved for guests were occupied by flowers, and everywhere there was a faint fragrance with soft lighting in every corner. The bas-reliefs on the walls depicted couples holding hands, carrying deep meaning.

Li Yi led Ni Xuanyi's hand inside; chandeliers lit up, making the large hall splendidly illuminated.

Ni Xuanyi walked beside Li Yi, smiling warmly at the kind-looking priest not far away. Holding onto Li Yi's hand, she moved step by step towards their place of happiness.

Li Yi and Ni Xuanyi's wedding lacked blessings from family and friends as well as a grand ceremony, but it was exceptionally warm and natural. After the priest recited their vows, Li Yi lowered his head to kiss Ni Xuanyi, saying, "Mrs. Li, congratulations on your marriage!"

Ni Xuanyi hugged Li Yi tightly; happiness filled her heart.

After the wedding ceremony ended, Li Yi brought Ni Xuanyi to their large castle here. On a half-circular spacious terrace, they enjoyed dinner together.

His castle was situated in an excellent location, facing a tranquil lake where the mountain scenery and rosy clouds were reflected on its surface. As the evening breeze gently blew over, the lake shimmered with orange waves.

The exquisite tablecloth, adorned with gilded patterns, hung naturally at all four corners of the table. A bouquet of blooming roses stood in the center, their fragrance mingling with the scent of red wine, assaulting Ni Xuanyi's senses in一陣陣的撲在倪暄漪的臉上，她還冇等喝酒，人就已經醉了。 waves.

Liyi hugged Ni Xuanyi from behind and asked her with a smile, "Xuanxuan, do you like these"

"I love them so much." Ni Xuanyi leaned against Liyi's chest and smiled sweetly.

He placed his palm on the still flat part of Ni Xuanyi’s abdomen. “Do you think she will like it too” In his subconscious, he imagined that the child in her womb was a girl.

"She would love them too." Ni Xuanyi pictured their baby as a tiny version of Zhan Yan.

The servants quietly served the dishes, lit red candles and poured fine wine. Liyi and Ni Xuanyi sat at the dining table together. As Ni Xuanyi was pregnant, Liyi did not let her drink any alcohol.

That's how Liyi concluded his wedding to Ni Xuanyi. He had their wedding photos made into postcards with sweets attached, and sent them out to many relatives and friends. Immediately after that, his phone was flooded with calls congratulating him, blessing him or inquiring about the health of his bride, as well as those who were questioning and scolding him — naturally, this right belonged only to Li Haonan and his wife.

Liyi didn't care about these matters. He only cared about Ni Xuanyi's feelings. To avoid being tracked and disturbed by outsiders, he decided to take her somewhere else for a change of scenery and to keep her safe during her pregnancy. He carefully picked several cities with pleasant climates and beautiful surroundings for her to choose from.

Ni Xuanyi chose a coastal port city. Once she felt better, Liyi took her there to rest and nurture their baby.

The sunshine here is bright, and at the seaside square, white pigeons take flight and land. These pigeons are very familiar with people; they walk alongside tourists' footsteps. A few people sit on benches in twos or threes, whispering softly with smiles on their faces. Children run happily by, creating a tranquil yet joyful atmosphere.

Although Ni Xuanyi is still not showing any signs of pregnancy, Li Yi insists that she wears maternity dresses wherever they go and holds her waist protectively as if she were eight months pregnant. Initially, this made Ni Xuanyi feel quite embarrassed, but gradually, she grew accustomed to it.

With her head resting on Li Yi's chest, Ni Xuanyi strolls around the square. From time to time, children run past her, and each time, Li Yi becomes alert, worried that they might accidentally bump into her belly.

"You don't need to be so tense; I'm very strong." Ni Xuanyi looks at Li Yi with a mixture of amusement, happiness, and helplessness.

"Being strong doesn’t matter. Better safe than sorry. Haven’t you read that the first pregnancy can easily lead to miscarriage, which could result in infertility or habitual miscarriages" Li Yi holds Ni Xuanyi's hand, looking very worried.

"It’s not that serious!" Ni Xuanyi laughs at Li Yi's excessive worry.

"How is it not serious Do you think it doesn’t matter" Li Yi's expression turns solemn. "Before my mother gave birth to me, she had two miscarriages, and her health deteriorated significantly afterward. My father sought out many medications for her調理，纔有了我和厲安。”

"Oh!" Ni Xuanyi finally understands why the LIs were so fond of girls but stopped trying after a while; it was mainly because of his mother's poor health.

"I will take very good care of the child in my belly." Ni Xuanyi loves Li Yi and doesn't want him to worry about her. When she gets tired, she sits on benches basking in the sun, leaning her head against Li Yi’s warm and solid shoulder. Overwhelmed with happiness, she reaches out to hug him tightly, rubbing her cheek lightly against his chest, her eyes sparkling with sweetness and warmth.

The sunshine here is abundant, and there's no wind at all around. After becoming pregnant, Ni Xuanyi sleeps a lot more. Leaning on Li Yi’s shoulder, she falls asleep不知不覺地閉上了眼睛。

Liyi tilted his head to look at Nixuanyi, who was sleeping lightly. Her breathing was even and delicate, her soft hair spread over his shoulder, with a faint fragrance surrounding him. Even in sleep, she kept her hands clasped around his arm.

The sky was clear, the sunlight abundant. Liyi smiled and couldn't help but sigh in happiness.

Right now, what made him most content was to provide Nixuanyi with the best care and a safe, comfortable life, seeing her face light up every day with joy from both body and soul. At this moment, his happiness was immeasurable.

Sitting in a café across the street, someone watched the couple on the other side of the road, his expression serious.

Nixuanyi was not far from him, but to see her once, he had gone through countless difficulties.

Liyi protected Nixuanyi very well. Her whereabouts were kept secret, and her residence was heavily guarded; they always had bodyguards following them openly or covertly, and Liyi was always by her side.

Nixuanyi walked beside Liyi feeling extremely happy. She no longer wore a high ponytail with black hair bouncing as she ran around lightly like before; now her hair was loosely tied up in a bun, and she would smile at children running around. All the boundless youth of the past had transformed into gentle warmth, her clear eyes sparkling in the sunlight, radiating happiness.
