Ou Yangxin smiled and said, "I really want to see the despicable methods you use to deal with bad people. It's hard for me to imagine that someone like you would use despicable methods to deal with someone." Li Rui said, "Alright, it's hard to say if you want to see what I'm capable of. How about this, you become my enemy first, then you can see what I'm capable of." Ou Yangxin chuckled and shook her head. She said drunkenly, "I don't want to be your enemy. If I become your enemy, who will help me drink in the future? Haha." Li Rui said sourly, "Let Ji Gang do it. Doesn't he care about you? He's looking for an opportunity to flatter you." Ou Yangxin smiled strangely and looked at him without saying anything. There was a hint of ridicule in her eyes. Li Rui felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. He said, "I'll get off first. You drank too much tonight. Drive slowly on the way back." He smiled at her and got out.
Ou Yangxin looked at his back flirtatiously. When he closed the door, she looked at him again. Then she released the brakes and drove forward. After driving for about a hundred meters, she shook her head and said to herself with a smile, "This guy... So what if other people care about me? What does it have to do with you? If you don't like it, you should care about me too. Haha... You don't care about me, but you don't allow others to care about me. How domineering, hmph! "
When he got home, Li Rui found that Lu Qingman was still awake. She was leaning against the headboard and talking on the phone. Seeing her smile, his heart skipped a beat. He asked casually, "Calling Zixuan?" Lu Qingman nodded. Her pretty face suddenly showed a shy expression. She freed her left hand and pointed at the bedside table, indicating for him to take a look.
Li Rui didn't know what she wanted him to see. He walked to her bedside table and looked at it carefully. He saw a long, thin object on the table. It looked like a toothbrush, but it only had a flat handle with no bristles. There was an oval hole in the middle of the handle. Inside the hole was a cardboard-like object with a short red line printed on it.
Seeing this, Li Ruixin's head started to throb wildly. As a married man, he was no stranger to this thing. This was a pregnancy test kit used to check if a married woman was pregnant. The red line on it was the sign of pregnancy, but he had already forgotten whether one line represented pregnancy or two lines represented pregnancy.
He picked up the pregnancy test stick and looked at it carefully. He saw that on the test paper in the middle, other than a thick red line, there was a pink line that was not very obvious on the right side. It could barely be considered a red line, but it was not very obvious. Seeing this inconspicuous line, his heart suddenly started beating wildly without any warning. He asked Lu Qingman excitedly, "Is this one line or two lines? What do the two lines represent? "
Hearing his question, Lu Qingman hurriedly said a few words to Gao Zixuan before hanging up. Then she said shyly to him, "I'm not sure if it's one line or two lines. You said it's one line, but the line on the right is really obvious. But if you said it's two lines, it's not very obvious … Maybe it's just a short time. It'll be obvious in a few days." When Li Rui heard this, he understood. He said with surprise and joy, "So you're already pregnant? But you just got pregnant, so the line isn't very obvious? "Lu Qingman smiled awkwardly. She nodded heavily and said," Maybe that's the case. " Li Rui laughed. Without any explanation, he threw himself on the bed and hugged her, kissing her cheeks and lips crazily.
Lu Qingman was shocked. She hurriedly pushed him away and said, "Are you crazy? How dare you lie on top of me at this time? Aren't you afraid of a miscarriage? Don't you want to have a child? " Li Rui realized that he had almost made a big mistake in his surprise. He felt ashamed and raised his hand to slap himself. He laughed and said, "Honey, I was wrong. I couldn't help myself. Don't be angry. I promise I won't do this again." Lu Qingman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at him and said, "Just be careful in the future. You don't have to do this." Li Rui was overjoyed. He said, "Last night, you said you wanted to buy a pregnancy test kit. I thought you would buy it in a few days. I didn't expect you to buy one so soon."
Lu Qingman said, "I was in a hurry. I wanted to see if I could find anything, so I bought it when I came back from work. I bought two. This is the second line. I tested both lines. The results are the same. " Li Rui laughed. "Then you don't have to ask. You must be pregnant. You can tell your fathers the good news now." Lu Qingman hurriedly reached out to stop him. "No, don't be anxious now. Wait a little longer. It won't be too late to call when it's confirmed." Li Rui asked, "When will it be confirmed?" Lu Qingman smiled and said, "What do you think? Of course, it will be the few days when my good friend is coming. If he doesn't come by then, then it will be considered confirmed … "
That night, the husband and wife snuggled under the blankets and hugged each other intimately. They talked about their children, such as what name they should give their future child. Both of them were extremely excited and overjoyed. Neither of them felt sleepy. They talked until midnight.
Before going to bed, Li Rui suddenly thought of something and asked nervously, "You didn't tell Zixuan about the pregnancy, right?" Lu Qingman yawned and snuggled into his arms. "No, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Li Rui didn't hide it from her. He laughed and said, "I had a dream last night. You gave birth to a son, and then Zixuan came and took our son away." Lu Qingman found it funny and said, "What kind of lousy dream was that? Why would Zixuan want to take our son away? Haha, even if she doesn't like you, she won't take our son away for my sake. Why would you have such a dream? I'm dying of laughter … "
Li Ruixin sighed inwardly. Of course Zixuan won't take our son away. But after we have a child, she will be unhappy. She will be even more eager to break up with me. Sigh.
The next day, a sudden phone call made Li Ruixin, who was originally overjoyed because of Qingman's pregnancy, gloomy. He couldn't be happy anymore.
The phone call was from the provincial capital. The caller was Li Xiaona, who had already recognized Li Rui as her brother. She told Li Rui that she would be holding a wedding with Xu Gengnian in the provincial capital this Sunday. She had specially invited him to attend as part of her family. Li Xiaona also said that after calling him, she would call Dong Jieyu and invite her to attend the wedding.
Li Rui knew that Li Xiaona had recognized Dong Jieyu as her sister, so he wasn't surprised that she wanted to invite Dong Jieyu to attend the wedding.
Li Rui wasn't surprised to receive the wedding invitation, because Xu Gengnian had already revealed that after taking Li Xiaona to the provincial capital, he would arrange a job for her first. After her job was stable, they would prepare for the wedding. Counting the days, it was almost time. Moreover, it was the beginning of spring. It was reasonable for them to choose this time to get married.
Li Rui just felt sad, depressed, and even a little bitter. When he thought that Xiaona, who was as beautiful as a flower, was going to marry Xu Gengnian, who was over 50 years old, he couldn't help but feel sad. Of course, he didn't have any possessive thoughts about Liu Xiaona. He just liked and loved her. Even so, he didn't want her to marry Xu Gengnian, who was half an old man. It would be better if she married a younger man … However, when Li Rui thought of the scene where he hugged and kissed her before, he couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't want to see her marry any man, no matter whether the other party was an old man or a young handsome man. Xiaona should only be his, and no one could take her away.
After Li Xiaona sent the invitation, she asked if he would attend the wedding. If he had time, Xu Gengnian would make corresponding arrangements, such as sending a car to pick him up, arranging his accommodation, and preparing wedding customs related to the bride, etc.
Li Rui accepted Xiaona's invitation without hesitation. He knew Xiao Na's family situation better than anyone else. Right now, it could be said that she didn't have a single relative by her side. The closest people to her were him and Dong Jieyu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have treated the two of them as her maternal family. Since that was the case, of course they had to attend her wedding. Otherwise, she would get married without the accompaniment of her maternal family. If that really happened, no matter how grand the wedding was, it wouldn't be able to cover up her extreme embarrassment. She might even be laughed at by the Xu family's relatives and friends.
During lunch, Li Rui asked his boss, Song Chaoyang, for Sunday's leave. When Song Chaoyang heard that he was going to attend his sister's wedding, he gladly agreed.
After lunch, Li Rui received a call from Dong Jieyu. Dong Jieyu wanted to discuss with him about going to the provincial capital to attend Li Xiaona's wedding this weekend. At this time, Li Ruixin was in a mess. He wasn't in the mood to discuss with her, so he moved the matter to the evening. He told her not to leave after work and wait for him at the Qingyang Hotel. After work, he would go to her office to discuss with her. Dong Jieyu also agreed.
In the afternoon, Li Rui was called by Du Minsheng, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, to attend a meeting of the leaders of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. This meeting was a summary of everyone's work in the past year. They would praise what they should praise, criticize what they should criticize, and summarize what they should summarize. It was similar to the year-end summary meeting, but this meeting was held a little late. Of course, this meeting was not only a summary of the past year, but also a vision and plan for the new year.
