As Li Yi was making plans, he unconsciously imagined the child to look like Little Zhan Yan. Subconsciously, his heart hoped that Ni Xuanyi would give him a girl.
The little cherub was snow-white and beautiful. When taking the child out to play, anyone who saw them would praise how cute she was. He would buy her the most beautiful clothes every day, dressing her up like a little princess.
As she grew older, he would let her learn dancing and singing, standing confidently on the stage, announcing programs with a crisp voice. His greatest worry would be those naughty boys secretly admiring his daughter, secretly writing love notes to her, or showing off in front of her to get her attention.
Thinking about these things made Li Yi's heart feel sweet and soft, making him smile so much that his eyes closed into slits.
In reality, thinking about it now, the father really was quite pitiful. He didn't even have a daughter to pamper; there were only himself and Li An two boys around him. No wonder he would treat his wife like a princess.
After Ni Xuanyi woke up from her nap, Li Yi immediately brought her a cup of honey water: "Here, Xiaoxuan, drink some water to refresh yourself."
"Okay," Ni Xuanyi obediently drank the water.
Li Yi reached out and took another small bowl, opening its lid. "Come here, have some bird's nest congee."
"Ah Just woke up and you want me to eat already!" Ni Xuanyi found it unbearable. Was Li Yi raising her like a pig She shook her head: "I'm not hungry; let's wait a while before eating!"
"Even if you're not hungry, eat a little. The book says that during your morning sickness period, you should have small meals frequently. Just eat when you feel okay. Moreover, bird's nest is very nourishing; eating some will also benefit your skin," Li Yi patiently coaxed Ni Xuanyi.
Ni Xuanyi looked down at the bird's nest porridge. The fine threads of silver-colored bird’s nest had melted into the thick rice gruel, exuding a fragrant and sweet aroma. However, she still had no appetite.
"Xuanxuan, eat some. It will be good for the baby too!" Li Yi held up his bowl with a spoon in hand.
Ni Xuanyi did not want to eat anything at all but couldn't bear looking at how attentive and solicitous Li Yi was being. She opened her mouth and let him feed her a few spoons of bird's nest porridge.
The moment Li Yi saw that Ni Xuanyi finally agreed to eat, the corners of his eyes curved into a smile. "That’s right, you should eat more."
Ni Xuanyi struggled to swallow. After eating a couple of mouthfuls, she slowly furrowed her brows and then her whole face crumpled up. She got out of bed and ran to the bathroom, leaning over the sink and vomiting everything back up, followed by dry heaves.
"Xuanxuan!" Li Yi was heartbroken as he hurriedly helped Ni Xuanyi. He hadn't expected morning sickness to be so overwhelming that even drinking a couple of sips of bird's nest porridge caused her to vomit.
Ni Xuanyi weakly shook her head, "I'm fine." She turned on the tap and rinsed her mouth, her voice muffled.
Worriedly supporting Ni Xuanyi out of the bathroom, Li Yi said with a frown, "If you keep throwing up like this, how can I feed you anything at all Dinner is coming soon. What am I going to do"
"I don't want to eat for now. Maybe after some time passes, it will be better," Ni Xuanyi quickly shook her head. She really didn’t want to suffer anymore. Every woman wants to be a mother but being one seems difficult. It had just begun and the little fellow inside was already causing trouble.
Ni Xuanyi had been so sick from morning sickness that she could barely keep anything down, which worried Li Yi greatly. The baby needed nutrition, and it was also taking a toll on Ni Xuanyi to be so hungry.
He began seeking medical help everywhere in search of remedies for her morning sickness. But before he could find any, Ni Xuanyi's condition gradually improved; she only vomited once in the morning and did not throw up again throughout the day.
Li Yi was delighted anew. He presented several wedding plans to Ni Xuanyi and asked her what kind of wedding she wanted: a shocking and unconventional one, an elaborate grand ceremony, a romantic luxurious event, or a simple and cozy celebration
Ni Xuanyi wasn't someone who enjoyed the hustle and bustle; now that she was pregnant and feeling unwell, all she wanted was a low-key wedding. So she decided to find a church nearby where only she and Li Yi would attend.
Churches were plentiful in Britain, any one of them being ancient and tranquil; however, Li Yi wouldn't just pick any old place.
Li Yi first took Ni Xuanyi to collect their custom-made outfits. Their car drove from a busy street into an alley paved with old cobblestones, the gray walls adorned with lush greenery on both sides, creating a serene atmosphere that seemed to isolate them from the noisy world behind.
The car traveled quite far until it stopped in front of a two-story building. Flowers were blooming profusely over the entrance, and drooping branches blocked much of an old sign with faded golden characters. When Ni Xuanyi read the words clearly, she was taken aback; the store's reputation was immense, having existed since the Victorian era, even the current Queen had to wait in line.
The design master had some gray hair but looked healthy, wearing a tape measure around his neck as he elegantly gestured for Ni Xuanyi. An assistant then brought out an exquisite and beautiful white wedding gown.
Ni Xuanyi was astounded by the luxurious dress in front of her, feeling like she was dreaming.
"Come on, Xuanyuan, try it on," Li Yi tugged Ni Xuanyi's hand, heading into the fitting room. Because she was pregnant, Li Yi accompanied her for even such a minor task as trying on clothes, afraid that she might feel any strain or inconvenience.
In a spacious and sunny fitting room, Ni Xuanyi saw herself in the large floor-to-ceiling mirror wearing her wedding dress. The white and smooth fabric shimmered with a dreamy glow under the sunlight, and its simple yet exquisite design perfectly encapsulated every curve of her body, making it hard for her to believe that such a princess-like, elegant, and noble woman was actually herself!
"When did you have my wedding dress custom-made How come I didn't know about this" Ni Xuanyi looked at Li Yi with joy.
"I had it made a long time ago. I wanted to give you a surprise." Li Yi kissed Ni Xuanyi’s face, "Baby, you look so beautiful! Originally, I planned for all our relatives and friends to share in my happiness by meeting my beautiful bride, but our baby isn't suited to be too tired, plus this dress can't wait any longer. If you gained a bit more weight, it wouldn’t fit anymore!"
Ni Xuanyi smiled bashfully, rubbing her hand affectionately over every little wrinkle and delicate flower bud on the wedding gown, unable to resist smiling.
Li Yi led Ni Xuanyi, who was wearing the wedding dress, towards the church.
The church was a forty-minute drive from the city center. The road was flat with green fields on both sides; in the distance, one could see the distinctive white spire of the church’s tower.
Li Yi drove very steadily and as the car turned around a slope, an ancient and solemn church appeared before their eyes. In front of it lay expansive meadows while behind it loomed mountains that pierced into the clouds. The church stood majestically, exuding an unparalleled beauty.
The grass in front of the church was neatly trimmed. After Li Yi’s car stopped, two men dressed in suits approached them with respect, bending down to open the car door for Li Yi, "Sir, you have arrived. Everything is ready."
"Thank you, you guys worked hard," Li Yi nodded and returned the greeting before turning around and leaning low into the car to extend his hand out to bring Ni Xuanyi out. their argument about breaking up, she still harbored a bit of hope. Now, they were truly finished.Whenever Zhou Guangtao proposed visiting his place before, Yan Luoxi felt anxious and ambiguous and n...
