Chapter 1533: Chapter 885: Overreacting, Flustered Sister Xiao (Second Update)

Jiangjiang returned disappointed, and Jiang Chengsi also wore a dejected look.

"What’s up? You also want to get married?" Si Yushan laughed as he looked at him. Actually, when to get married depends on the development of the kids’ relationship, but as a father, thinking about his daughter getting married, he definitely feels reluctant.

Especially during the wedding ceremony just now, even someone as robust as Ruan Daqiang almost cried, making quite a few people present have red eyes.

Jiang Chengsi just smiled sheepishly, "It’s not so bad."

What dared he say, looking around, "By the way, where are Auntie and Xiaoxiao?"

"Probably ran into some acquaintances and went to chat."

Jiang Chengsi initially intended to find Si Qingxiao, but he was dragged away by Qi Zeyan to discuss the toast.

"I’ve been abstaining from alcohol lately." Jiang Chengsi said bluntly.

This statement suddenly increased the pressure on the shoulders of the other groomsmen. Qi Zeyan was planning for pregnancy and couldn’t drink recently, so he could only sip a few cups. Losing Jiang Chengsi as the main force, anyway, the others were prepared to get drunk.

"The rest is okay, but you should pay special attention to that table." Qi Zeyan pointed to a table.

From a distance, everyone immediately noticed a particularly pale man with his head tilted, talking to the girl beside him. To be honest...

Shrug-your-shoulders pale.

"That’s Duan Linbai." Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue, "Aren’t you two arch-enemies?"

"That’s why we need to pay special attention."

Though they call each other arch-enemies, their ordinary relationship isn’t that close, but Beijing is only so big, and both families know each other. A big event like a wedding, they must attend.

Meanwhile, the other person seemed to have sensed Qi Zeyan’s gaze, suddenly raised a hand to wave at him in a greeting, revealing bright white teeth as he smiled, looking even more dazzling.

"What does Duan Linbai eat to grow like this? How can a man be so white?" Jiang Chengsi was genuinely curious.

"Why care about that? Later, keep an eye on him for me. I’m afraid he might cause trouble."

"That’s unlikely. Although you two are arch-enemies, he wouldn’t mess around in such an event. Duan Linbai has a partner but isn’t married yet. In the future, your two families’ kids could really get together."

"Today I got married, are you trying to tick me off? With the way he looks, the kids would probably take after him." Qi Zeyan’s tone was quite disdainful.

"That’s not necessarily..." Jiang Chengsi’s tone was provoking.

"Are you looking for a beating!"

Qi Zeyan was furious.

...

Before the wedding banquet started, everyone was rather free-spirited, basically chatting with familiar people.

Si Qingxiao was familiar with Tang Wan, but she had the child with her, mostly hanging around the lounge. At the moment, Tang Wan brought her to Shen Shuci. She had just finished breastfeeding, and upon seeing a group of ladies enter the room, Huo Qinqi didn’t linger much, told Shen Shuci to call him if needed, and left the room.

"I was looking for you for a while, called you, and you didn’t pick up." Tang Wan couldn’t help complaining.

"I was breastfeeding." Shen Shuci wasn’t familiar with Si Qingxiao, so they were quite formal, "Can you watch the child for me, while I go to the bathroom?"

Shen Shuci had just finished breastfeeding, feeling discomfort, and with Si Qingxiao present, she went to the bathroom to adjust.

Little Surprise was naturally a bit more obedient than Jiang Xiaowai, full and alert, seemingly watching Si Qingxiao the whole time.

"Can I hold him?" Si Qingxiao found the child adorable and asked Tang Wan.

"Go ahead, he is well-behaved."

"Come here, Auntie will hold you." Si Qingxiao even made sure to wipe her hands with a wet tissue before reaching out to hold him.

"Not Auntie, you’re considered his sister-in-law." Tang Wan corrected.

Sister-in-law...

Wouldn’t that make her the same generation as this little kid? But then, considering Tang Wan calls Shen Shuci little aunt, she and the child are equals, naturally matching Jiang Chengsi’s generation, dropping a notch in seniority...

Without even marrying, her seniority has already reduced a level. Honestly, it’s hard to adjust.

Si Qingxiao carefully picked up the child, while Tang Wan stayed by her side, using Jiang Xiaowai for demonstration, correcting her child-holding posture.

She never realized before that holding a child could be so exhausting.

"Ah, ah—" Little Surprise seemed to really like Si Qingxiao.

With a faint fragrance, she looked beautiful, and compared to his own father, her touch was far more gentle. Little Surprise cooed, brushing his tiny face against hers.

A baby’s skin, incredibly soft, is beyond description in words. Si Qingxiao felt even holding the child, her heart softened.

Little Surprise babbled, drooling a bit, getting some on Si Qingxiao’s clothes.

"You can put him down now." Tang Wan frowned.

If Third Brother got drooled on, he’d certainly freak out.

"It’s fine, I’ll hold him a bit longer."

Little Surprise lay in her arms. Si Qingxiao noticed he drooled again and planned to wipe it with a tissue. However, after feeding, the child retained a faint milky scent, mixed with a slight fishy smell.

Initially, the scent didn’t bother Si Qingxiao, but smelling it more, the fishy scent made her feel uncomfortable all over.

It kept triggering a nauseous feeling; Si Qingxiao tried to suppress it, thinking it was temporary.

"Xiaoxiao?" Tang Wan noticed her looking off-color, "Is holding the child too tiring? You should put him down."

For those who aren’t used to holding children, their arms can easily get sore from holding them for long.

Just then, Shen Shuci came out of the bathroom. Compared to Little Surprise, the smell of breast milk was stronger on her. The scent made Si Qingxiao intolerable. Holding back, she set the child down and rushed into the bathroom.

This was where Shen Shuci had just been, retaining a lingering milk scent. Si Qingxiao leaned over the sink, dry heaving quite severely.

Shen Shuci and Tang Wan exchanged glances before rushing over.

"Xiaoxiao? Are you okay!" Tang Wan frowned.

Shen Shuci reached out to soothe her back, but as she approached, Si Qingxiao waved her off, signaling to step back. Shen Shuci, puzzled, thought she was okay waving her hand, continuing to gently soothe her back.

This made Si Qingxiao gag even more.

"I’ll get you some water." Tang Wan frowned.

"No, it’s fine." Si Qingxiao merely retched, but nothing came out. She twisted the faucet, rinsing her mouth with tap water.

When she walked out of the bathroom, breathing heavily, her face appeared pallid.

"Are you really okay?" Tang Wan frowned.

"Maybe it’s the heat lately, indulged too much in the cool." Si Qingxiao couldn’t admit the fishy milk scent triggered her.

"You rest here, I’ll ask Uncle to find Fourth Brother." Tang Wan suggested, knowing Huo Qinqi must be nearby.

"No need, I just need some fresh air." Si Qingxiao felt it was the fishy milk scent causing her illness.

But Shen Shuci, observing her condition, suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Miss Si, when was your last period?"

In the room, apart from the oblivious child, only there were three women, discussing such matters wasn’t something to shy away from.

"A little over half a month ago, this month’s hasn’t come." Si Qingxiao realized her implication once she heard it, "It shouldn’t be... you’re overthinking it."

"Just asking." Shen Shuci smiled, "Don’t stress over it."

She said it casually, but Shen Shuci naturally exuded a cool intensity when speaking; even joking carried weight. Consequently, Si Qingxiao was now restless.

"You and Fourth Brother did take precautions, right?" Tang Wan tried to comfort seeing her tense, "Maybe just caught a chill."

Si Qingxiao: "..."

Though they were careful, inevitably, they’ve been a bit reckless at times.

Tang Wan understood her expression, "My goddad’s outside, do you want him to check you?"

With Qi Zeyan married, Zhou Zhongqing must have been invited too.

"No, no." Si Qingxiao shook her head quickly, now feeling quite bewildered.

Though unsure what’s going on, she felt anxious.

If Zhou Zhongqing got involved, it could alert more people.

"How about I have someone buy something for you to try?" Shen Shuci saw her face of anxiety.

Once suspicion is planted, it truly disturbs one’s peace.
