The two of them walked to the dining table and sat down.
Gong Ye looked at them expectantly, very worried that the food might not suit their taste.
Gong Zhi Jing quickly picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites, then sincerely praised, "The taste is very good."
Hearing that she approved, Gong Ye finally felt relieved.
After the meal, Ling Yu Chen left.
For the next period of time, Gong Zhi Jing and Ling Yue You would be staying at the Gong family's residence until the wedding day.
Gong Ye, too, did his best to arrange everything, trying to make Gong Zhi Jing feel at home.
Gong Zhi Jing actually quite liked it here, but in the future, she and Ling Yu Chen would still reside at Ling Lu Mountain.
It would be more convenient for work.
However, both the Gong family and the Ling family's old mansion would exist forever.
Perhaps her children would choose to live in these two places.
While the children were napping, Gong Zhi Jing took a leisurely stroll around the Gong residence.
It was actually very, very large, and she hadn't explored it thoroughly yet.
The Gong family compound consisted of three three-story small villas, of a French architectural style.
Of the three villas, the main building was in the front, with two auxiliary buildings arranged behind it, all surrounded by a super large garden.
The other two villas, due to years of disrepair, were covered in ivy on the outside, giving them a dilapidated and old feel, with a touch of eeriness.
Gong Zhi Jing immediately lost the mood for aimless wandering.
She walked around the garden for a bit and then returned to her room.
Since it had been decided to propose in three days, she could now inform Wen Xuan Xuan and Qiao Xin Yue to come.
She only had these two friends.
Meanwhile, Wen Xuan Xuan was feeling extremely dejected.
She hadn't gotten used to living at the Li family's old residence after moving there. However, because Gong Zhi Jing had returned, she had found some solace.
But as soon as Gong Zhi Jing returned, she became busy taking wedding photos and going on trips.
She could tolerate this, as it was important business, and she thought that after a few busy days, things would calm down.
Who knew that before she could even find Gong Zhi Jing to hang out with, Gong Zhi Jing had moved to the Gong family's residence without a word.
Now, it seemed she would have to entertain herself alone, whether she stayed at Ling Lu Mountain or the old residence.
After the phone call connected, Gong Zhi Jing said, "In three days, Ling Yu Chen will come to my house to propose. Do you want to come over?"
Considering Wen Xuan Xuan's health condition, Gong Zhi Jing didn't insist that she must come.
Wen Xuan Xuan was already bored of staying at home, so how could she refuse? She immediately agreed.
"Of course, I'm coming! How could I miss such an important occasion!"
Gong Zhi Jing knew she would come, so she instructed, "Then ask Li Bo Wen to come with you. That way, it will be easier to take care of you."
Wen Xuan Xuan replied, "Okay, I'll tell him later."
"Alright, I still need to call Xin Yue. I'll hang up now, bye!"
After the call ended, Gong Zhi Jing notified Qiao Xin Yue as well.
Qiao Xin Yue had nothing much going on recently and readily agreed to come in three days.
After notifying these two, Gong Zhi Jing then thought of inviting Li Bo Wen, and naturally, she couldn't leave out Jiang Ze Xi and Situ Jun.
She was quite thoughtful, so she sent a message to Ling Yu Chen, explaining the situation.
Ling Yu Chen replied quickly, saying it was fine, and they could invite them all over for a meal then.
Gong Zhi Jing naturally had no objections.
This was a good thing; she wasn't afraid of a lively atmosphere.
After finishing all this, and with the children still asleep, she was truly idle.
She took out her phone and looked at the novel's data from the past couple of days.
After reaching its peak with a surge in readership, it had begun to decline, and now the daily income was around one to two hundred.
But Gong Zhi Jing was already very content, as this was truly her own income.
And the money she earned was so smooth sailing, without any setbacks.
She felt she had talent, and with professional assistance, everything fell into place so naturally.
...
Meanwhile, after receiving Gong Zhi Jing's message, Ling Yu Chen quickly sent messages inviting Jiang Ze Xi and Situ Jun.
Jiang Ze Xi was currently accompanying Xia Wan Fu for a follow-up examination at the hospital.
"What are you looking at!"
Xia Wan Fu emerged from the consultation room holding the examination report, her face full of relief.
Jiang Ze Xi put away his phone, stood up, and naturally put his arm around Xia Wan Fu's waist.
"Yu Chen invited us to dine at the Gong residence in three days."
Xia Wan Fu asked curiously, "Why are we dining at the Gong residence out of the blue?"
"He's going to propose. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be married within two months."
Xia Wan Fu's face immediately broke into a smile, and she sincerely blessed them, "Really? That's wonderful! We must go and witness their happy moment!"
Jiang Ze Xi glanced at the examination report in her hand and changed the subject, "What did the doctor say?"
"It's nothing, everything has recovered very well." Xia Wan Fu's eyes twinkled with a smile as she said, "We can start trying for a baby."
Jiang Ze Xi tightened his grip on her waist and said faintly, "It's okay, no rush. Let's talk about it in a few years."
Xia Wan Fu didn't speak, but her eyes were full of longing.
She hoped to have the crystallization of their love soon. Although she was still young, Jiang Ze Xi was approaching thirty.
Her parents were not old, but their only hope was this.
Ever since the car accident, everyone in the Jiang family's attitude towards her had changed.
She felt that the only thing she could do to repay them was this.
They got into the car after leaving the hospital and headed home.
Xia Wan Fu thought for a moment and then sent Gong Zhi Jing a message to offer her congratulations.
Although the rift between the sisters had healed, they couldn't be as close as before. Maintaining this kind of relationship was still good.
"Don't overthink things. I just want you to take care of your health. The baby isn't important."
Jiang Ze Xi drove with one hand, tightly gripping Xia Wan Fu's hand with the other, feeling very insecure.
Xia Wan Fu squeezed his hand back to comfort him, "I'm fine now, don't always be so anxious."
Jiang Ze Xi's thin lips were pressed together, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
What he feared most now was loss.
He didn't even want Xia Wan Fu to bear the risk of having a child, especially after her car accident, which had made her develop a personality prone to gains and losses.
Xia Wan Fu was his partner, so she could best sense his unease and anxiety.
All she could do was to try her best to comfort him and stay by his side constantly.
His appearance had been her salvation back then.
Now, it was her turn to heal the rest of his life.
Upon returning to the old residence.
Zhou Yu Qing, having learned they were returning today, had already had someone simmer chicken soup to replenish their strength.
Even though it was past mealtime, she still had someone keep it warm for them to return.
As Jiang Ze Xi brought Xia Wan Fu through the door.
She eagerly stepped forward, looking at Xia Wan Fu with concern and asking, "How is your health? Have you recovered well!"
Xia Wan Fu nodded and smiled, "It's okay, Mom, I'm all better."
"That's good, that's good."
Zhou Yu Qing was relieved, then cautiously glanced at her son, and quickly gestured for them to sit in the living room.
"I had chicken soup made. You should have some. Even though Wan Fu is fine now, she still needs to nourish herself properly. She's too thin."
