Chapter 404 The Greatest Fortune in This Life
Yan Ye looked at her with heartache and said, "Yi Rou, you've had it harder than me."
“I’m not as tired as you. You have to earn money to support the family.” Although she felt a little tired, she felt that Yan Ye had to handle so much work every day, and sometimes he had to go on business trips. His workload was heavy and he was under a lot of pressure. He was much more tired than her.
Yan Ye didn't argue with her, but just leaned against the headboard and looked at her with heartache. He was thinking that one child was enough for them.
Yue Yirou didn't urge Yan Ye to lie down and go to sleep anymore, because she knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if she didn't lie down.
She felt warm and touched.
Every night thereafter, she would get up to feed the baby, and Yan Ye would sit by the head of the bed with her until she finished feeding the baby and lay back in bed, at which point he would hold her and fall asleep.
"Qi'er, didn't you say you wanted to try for a baby? You're always out early and back late with A-Cheng and you don't get any rest. How can you possibly get pregnant?"
Seeing that Zhang Qier was about to go out with Acheng again, Yue Yirou went over and pulled her back.
Aunt Wu, who was playing with the baby nearby, chimed in, "Yes, Qi'er, didn't you say you wanted to have a child as cute as the young master? You should stay home and rest. Don't go out. When A-Cheng goes out to do errands, you don't necessarily have to go with him to get things done."
Zhang Qi'er smiled and said, "It's okay. I have things to do now, so I can get pregnant later." Since she was capable of fighting alongside A-Cheng, she wouldn't stay at home anxiously waiting for him to come back.
Hearing her say that, Yue Yirou had no choice but to let go of her and not force her to stay, allowing her to continue going out with Acheng.
After Zhang Qi'er chased after A-Cheng, Yue Yirou looked at Aunt Wu and asked curiously, "Aunt Wu, do you know what A-Cheng and Qi'er have been busy with lately?"
Aunt Wu had already prepared her excuse: "I'm going to the company to train the security personnel."
"Oh." Yue Yirou nodded in understanding. "They've worked hard. Ask Uncle Xue to make some chicken soup for them tonight to help them recover."
"Yes, young mistress. Young mistress, you are such a good person. It is a blessing that the young master was able to marry you," Aunt Wu said sincerely.
Yue Yirou smiled faintly, her eyes and brows radiating happiness: "Being able to marry him is a blessing I have earned in three lifetimes."
It was her good fortune to become Yan Ye's wife; it was the greatest luck of her life.
Yue Yirou shifted her gaze to the baby in the stroller. The child was over two months old and would laugh whenever she was teased; he was incredibly cute.
This is the fruit of her love with Yan Ye.
She bent down and took the child out of the stroller, sat down on the sofa, and chatted with Aunt Wu while playing with the child.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the invitation card under the coffee table. After a slight pause, she asked, "Aunt Wu, who gave this invitation card?"
"It's from the Jiang Group, inviting you and the young master to attend Miss Jiang's engagement ceremony tonight. However, the young master doesn't plan to attend; he only had Ah Tao deliver the gift," Aunt Wu said.
Chiang Kai-shek's Group?
Yue Yirou frowned slightly: "What's that Miss Jiang's name?"
Aunt Wu picked up the invitation from under the coffee table, opened it, and said, "It's Jiang Mengru's name."
Yue Yirou shifted her gaze to the three words "Jiang Mengru" on the invitation and murmured, "Mengru, she's back in China?"
"Does the young mistress know this Miss Jiang?" Aunt Wu asked.
“I know her. We used to play together a lot when we were little. Later she went abroad. I don’t know if she still remembers me,” Yue Yirou said sadly.
Just as she finished speaking, the landline next to her suddenly rang. Aunt Wu picked it up and listened. A few seconds later, she turned back to Yue Yirou with delight and said, "It's Miss Jiang calling."
Yan Ye turned off his computer and stood up from his chair. Just as he walked around the table, he saw Yue Yirou push the door open and come in.
He stopped, crossed his arms and leaned against the desk, grabbed Yue Yirou, and smiled ambiguously: "What, missing your husband?"
"Yes, I miss you so much, what should I do?" Yue Yirou said with a smile.
Yan Ye beckoned to her with his finger: "Come here, I'll tell you what to do."
Yue Yirou knew what he meant. After closing the door, she walked towards him with a smile, reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, and pressed her lips to his.
Putting aside her purpose in coming to see him, she genuinely missed him.
After a long, passionate kiss, she was a little dizzy, but she didn't forget the important matter.
After removing Yan Ye's mischievous hand, she cupped his face and said, "Ye, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong? Can you not spoil the mood like this?" Yan Ye said, then tried to lean down and kiss her again.
Yue Yirou turned her face away from him, and Yan Ye's kiss missed.
"What exactly happened?" Yan Ye asked, somewhat displeased.
"About Miss Jiang Mengru's engagement ceremony?"
"Who is Jiang Mengru?" Yan Ye was completely bewildered; he didn't remember knowing anyone by name.
Yue Yirou was speechless: "They gave you an invitation, and you didn't even look at it?"
"An invitation?" Yan Ye then remembered that Xue Tao had come to him with an invitation last night. When he saw it was an invitation, he waved it away before Xue Tao could speak, and he didn't even look at it.
"You want to go to these boring parties?" He thought she didn't like attending these kinds of events.
Yue Yirou shook her head: "If it were any other banquet, I wouldn't attend. However, Jiang Mengru is my childhood friend. She just called to invite me personally. So, Ye, could you come with me to her engagement ceremony tonight?"
"No, I'm not going. I have something very important to do tonight," Yan Ye shook his head and refused.
"What important thing?" Yue Yirou frowned. He usually finished his work during the day, and she didn't know what important things he had to do at night.
Yan Ye glanced at her and said, "What do you think?"
"I don't know you." Yue Yirou shook her head.
Yan Ye smiled knowingly and whispered a few words in her ear.
Yue Yirou's face turned red instantly.
She truly hadn't expected that the important thing Yan Ye mentioned would actually be...
"What? Isn't this important? It's been over a year, we haven't had marital relations for over a year. You're just going to put up with this? Or do you not want me?" Yan Ye put on a heartbroken look.
“…No.” Yue Yirou said somewhat dejectedly, “Couldn’t we come back later…or maybe tomorrow night…”
"No."
"Why?" She just didn't understand him. He had endured it for so long, couldn't he just endure it a little longer?
“Because I couldn’t hold back anymore.” Yan Ye finished speaking and lowered his head to kiss her lips again. After a moment, he paused and said, “If you’re willing, satisfy me now…”
"No." Yue Yirou pushed him away and fled the study as if she were escaping.
Even if she were to grant his request now, and he agreed to accompany her to Jiang Mengru's engagement ceremony, she wouldn't have the energy to go out.
Yan Ye watched her hurried departure, his face gradually darkening.
Jiang Mengru? A childhood friend? He even personally called to invite her?
