After finishing the drinks in their glasses, everyone began to sigh with emotion.
Zhou Yaru said, "Xiaoxi's excellence really makes me feel ashamed. When I thought she was just a pretty face, she showed me with her strength that she's an outstanding architectural designer. Her design won the first prize in the competition and was recognized by Mr. Yan!"
Fang Ruiyang chimed in, "That's right. When I thought she was just an excellent architectural designer, she told me that she's a top - notch hacker and even planned to take me as her apprentice so that I could deal with that devil Zhao Quanjing myself."
Dai Sha added, "When we thought that was her limit, she showed us that she could be even more amazing. She actually wrote a world - shocking thesis and got into the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University. She plans to devote herself to the field of biopharmaceuticals and develop a medicine to treat Mr. Yan's eyes."
Brother Hu waved his hand grandly. "No, no, no. You guys don't know. The young lady is also a master of investment and financial management. Every stock she touches goes up. That's why I decided to follow the young lady to the death!"
"The young lady... Miss Xu. This title perfectly captures the feeling Zi Xi gives people."
"You're right. A girl like Xiaoxi truly deserves the title of 'young lady'!"
"Now I understand why Yuan Ya'er and those other young ladies in Fengcheng went so far as to frame Xiaoxi and try to ruin her reputation. She's just too excellent and stands in their way!"
Dai Sha clenched her fists. "But it doesn't matter. The young lady has already slapped them in the face with her strength!"
Then, she leaned over to Xu Zixi and asked, "Young lady, what other surprises do you have that we don't know about? Will there be some other rumors about you suddenly one day?"
Xu Zixi propped her chin and thought carefully for a while. "Actually, I'm also good at playing the piano. Maybe one day I'll consider holding a piano concert."
Everyone exclaimed that they couldn't take it anymore. The young lady's skills were blinding them.
Sure enough, only a man like Mr. Yan could capture the young lady's heart. Others... they just weren't worthy!
"However, after the young lady gives birth, will she leave Haicheng and go back to Fengcheng to live?" Brother Hu suddenly said.
The scene fell silent for a moment. Everyone was sad about this fact.
"I'll miss her so much..." Zhou Yaru said.
Dai Sha didn't say a word because as Xu Zixi's assistant and Wei Shu's girlfriend, she would also go to Fengcheng.
Xu Zixi said, "Haicheng is where I started. Xicheng is here, and 'Golden Amber' is here. I'll come back."
After getting her definite answer, everyone became happy again.
Being with these friends made Xu Zixi very relaxed. She laughed heartily. Suddenly, she felt a strange movement in her belly.
She stopped what she was doing immediately, opened her big eyes wide, and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband! Husband!"
Yan Yincheng was sitting right next to her. Hearing her voice, he immediately turned his head and asked nervously, "What's wrong, Zixi? What happened?"
Xu Zixi touched her belly. "The baby seems to be moving."
Hearing this, Yan Yincheng was both surprised and overjoyed. "Really? Let me listen!"
He immediately knelt down on one knee and carefully placed his hand on Xu Zixi's belly, feeling the little life inside.
Maybe the naughty baby knew he was saying hello. It moved gently again, allowing the sensitive Third Master Yan to clearly feel this miraculous moment.
"It moved! It really moved!" Yan Yincheng was extremely excited.
Although they already had two four - and - a - half - year - old children, they were actually just like first - time parents.
When Xu Zixi came to this world, she was still a single virgin. And as for Yan Yincheng, fate had made him miss the birth of his first two children. This was truly their first child in the real sense.
The news that Xu Zixi felt fetal movement immediately overshadowed the news of her passing the exam and became the focus of the banquet.
For a while, everyone lined up to touch her belly.
The little life in her belly was also very cooperative. Every time someone put their hand on it, it would give a different reaction, making everyone laugh.
"Sister, I'm Brother Xuxu. Be a good girl and don't give Mommy a hard time. When you come out, brother will buy you a lot of little cakes! When brother makes a lot of money, I'll also buy you a lot of little dresses!"
"Sister, or brother, I'm Brother Xuanxuan. You must be healthy. Be as smart as brother in the future!"
The two kids were talking seriously to Xu Zixi's belly, which made everyone laugh even more.
Xu Zixi was now a rising scientific research star. On the night when the results came out, the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University immediately announced that she had been admitted.
After the outside world's commotion subsided after a while, without the outside interference, Xu Zixi could finally focus on promoting the construction progress of "City of Hope" and take good care of the baby in her belly.
During her pregnancy, a few more things happened one after another.
Fang Ruiyang's mother, Fang Ling, had fully recovered after six months of treatment at Jincheng First - Class Hospital. The clinical trial of the medicine was very successful, and it would be mass - produced later. From then on, Fang Ling only needed to buy this kind of medicine, take it as the doctor's advice, and go to the hospital for regular check - ups, and she could live a normal life like before.
On the day when Fang Ling took a plane to Haicheng after being discharged from the hospital, Xu Zixi, together with Yan Yincheng, the two kids, and Fang Ruiyang, went to the airport to welcome Fang Ling and Huang Zhenzhen back.
The recovered Fang Ling no longer looked emaciated. She had gained some weight.
Although she was getting older, it was still obvious that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.
Fang Ling owed her improvement to Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's help. She was a grateful person. At the airport, she tightly held Xu Zixi's hand and said with a choked voice, "Miss Xu, you're a good person. Good people will surely be rewarded. You and Mr. Yan will surely live a long life, and your children will surely become outstanding people! Mr. Yan's eyes will surely get better soon!"
Xu Zixi smiled softly. "Thank you for your blessing, Aunt Fang. You will surely live a healthy life until you're ninety - nine. You still have to watch your grandson grow up and get married."
Yes, Huang Zhenzhen was also pregnant.
Judging from the time, it should have been when Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng got married, and she rushed back with Fang Ling to attend the wedding. This time when she and Fang Ling returned to Haicheng, they were going to start preparing for her wedding with Fang Ruiyang in full swing.
Just thinking about this, Fang Ling couldn't stop smiling.
There was nothing more gratifying than seeing one's children have a good ending and start their own families.
...
As time passed, the construction of "City of Hope" was slowly coming to an end.
The magnificent building complex standing by the bay no longer looked dull. Bright and vivid paints and various materials decorated the entire "City of Hope". The holographic imaging and AI interactive systems developed and produced by the technology company under the Yan Group were perfectly integrated into the entire scenic area and would be put into operation in "City of Hope" in the future.
As her pregnancy advanced, Xu Zixi's belly grew bigger and bigger. She gradually reduced her working hours and spent more time at home with Xuanxuan and Xuxu, and also communicated well with the third little life in her belly.
At this time, the knowledge that Yan Yincheng had learned in the hospital came in very handy.
He would play the guitar for the baby in her belly every day for prenatal education. He would hold her arm and take a walk in the yard every day. At night, he would massage her slightly swollen legs and coax her to sleep.
If she couldn't fall asleep at night because of discomfort, he would hold her in his arms and tell her interesting stories about when he was training his perception until she fell asleep again in his arms.
Devoted to waiting for the baby to be born, she didn't know that in Fengcheng, Yan Yincheng had another surprise for her. He was just waiting for them to return to Fengcheng so that he could give her the gift.
One night when she was more than nine months pregnant, a sharp pain woke Xu Zixi up. She held her belly and let out a painful cry.
Yan Yincheng woke up immediately. "What's wrong, Zixi? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xu Zixi grabbed his hand. "Husband, I... I think I'm going to give birth!"
