Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

Yongqiang's mother sat down and gave him a disapproving look:

"Don't get any ideas. They're doing their own thing. What does it have to do with you? Yongqiang and Guiying's marriage is settled. From now on, Xiaoshitou will be our grandson, and he'll also have the surname Xie. What are you being so dramatic about?"

"How can that be the same!"

Xie Guangkun was unconvinced:

"That's someone else's child, how can you compare him to your own grandson? Liu Neng is definitely laughing at me behind my back! It's just a pregnancy, why make such a big fuss? You really don't understand anything."

"If they want to do it, and others want to participate, what's it to you?"

Yongqiang's mother said:

"I think you're just jealous of them. Instead of wasting your energy, why don't you urge Yongqiang to get them married? Next year we'll have our own grandson, and we'll have a big feast too. It'll be more lively than theirs. Wouldn't that be better than you getting angry here?"

Xie Guangkun said impatiently:

"Yongqiang's personality is so indecisive, what can I do! No, I have to have a good talk with Yongqiang tomorrow, this matter must be dealt with quickly! If Liu Neng is having a pregnancy banquet, then I can have a full moon celebration and a first birthday celebration, the scale of which will definitely be bigger than his. I absolutely cannot let him outshine me. Anyone in our village can do it, but Liu Neng can't!"

Yongqiang's mother looked at his serious expression:

"Keep your imagination running wild, and don't get involved in the children's affairs."

……

Ivory Mountain Hot Spring Resort is definitely different from those high-rise hotels in the city.

The houses are all small, single-story buildings built along the hillside, with blue bricks and gray tiles. They look like ordinary farmhouses, simple and down-to-earth, but they are clean and tidy, with even the nooks and crannies neatly arranged.

Lin Chen helped Xie Xiaomei stroll slowly, with Chen Yannan following beside her.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Yannan looked around and became a little curious:

"Brother Chen, why are all the houses in this resort single-story? I thought there would be multi-story buildings."

Lin Chen looked around and casually explained to her:

"The resort's main feature is its courtyard atmosphere. Staying in a bungalow is very comfortable. There is a public hot spring in front, with separate baths for men and women, so it won't be chaotic."

"The backyard consists of separate guest rooms and courtyards, offering good privacy. To the east are the canteen and fruit picking greenhouses. There is a path on the back mountain leading up to a viewing platform and a VIP hot spring pool, which is usually locked to prevent outsiders from entering, making it very peaceful."

The three of them first went to explore the public hot spring area. The pools inside the rooms were surrounded by large glass windows, and the room was filled with steam and mist as soon as you entered.

The outdoor pool is made of stones and surrounded by trees. It looks simple, but it has a very rustic feel.

Afterwards, we went to a fruit picking garden. The greenhouses were filled with strawberries, persimmons, and other fruits, growing so densely that you could reach out and pick them, and they tasted so fresh.

After strolling around leisurely for more than half an hour, Xie Xiaomei, who was pregnant, felt heavy and could no longer walk.

She stopped, supporting her lower back, her breathing slightly heavy.

"No, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. You two can continue shopping. Don't worry about me; I can't take a bath anyway."

"Okay, then go back and get some rest."

Lin Chen carefully supported her and turned to make arrangements:

"I'll have Xiao Li go and keep you company. Just call for help anytime if you need anything."

After safely escorting Xie Xiaomei back to her room to rest, Lin Chen turned to look at Chen Yannan:

"Come on, I'll take you up to the back of the mountain. There are private hot spring pools up there. Nobody comes here usually. The scenery is beautiful and it's quiet."

"Sure!"

The VIP hot spring pool in the forest is a short walk up the stone path.

It's surrounded by a wooden fence, with a small, separate hot spring pool made of natural stone, and a pavilion next to it.

It's surrounded by tall trees, completely blocking out the view, so you can't see a soul in sight. It's incredibly private, and you don't have to worry about anyone seeing you.

Lin Chen opened the gate, and Chen Yannan immediately ran over, squatted down by the pool, and reached out to test the water.

"The water temperature is just right, it's nice and warm! Does nobody come here?" She looked up and asked Lin Chen with a smile.

"It's usually locked up and not open to the public, only for special guests."

Chen Yannan didn't stand on ceremony; she was Lin Chen's person to begin with, so there was no need to hide it.

She took off her coat, revealing her perfect figure, and carefully stepped into the pool. The warm water felt incredibly comfortable.

"Since no one's here, why don't you come too? Let's soak for a while." She turned around and smiled at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had the same idea, so he took off his coat and stepped into the pool. The warm water reached his waist, and all his fatigue instantly disappeared.

Chen Yannan moved closer to him, getting very close:

"It's so comfortable here just the two of us, no one will bother us."

"Move slowly, the rocks underneath are slippery." Lin Chen looked down at her, his tone gentle.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yannan slipped and fell forward.

Lin Chen reacted quickly, reaching out to grab her arm and gently pulling her into his embrace.

The pool water was warm, and Chen Yannan leaned against him, her breathing heavy.

She instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's waist, nestling comfortably in his embrace.

"I almost fell, but thankfully you caught me."

Lin Chen's fingers traced the skin of her arm:

"He's so clumsy and indecisive all the time."

"I'm not afraid as long as you're here."

Chen Yannan smiled sweetly:

"Brother Chen, you smell so good, I just want to be next to you."

As she spoke, she snuggled closer to him, the two of them pressed tightly together, the atmosphere both ambiguous and natural.

Lin Chen smiled, raised his hand, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it on her face:

"You're getting bolder and bolder in flirting with me, aren't you? Don't you even know where you are?"

"So what?"

Chen Yannan wasn't intimidated at all. She raised her hand and splashed water on him, playfully wrestling with him.

The two of them frolicked in the pool for a while, chatting and laughing.

The mountains were quiet, just the two of them. They didn't need to be reserved or hide anything; they could do whatever made them comfortable.

After making a ruckus for about ten minutes and playing for another half hour, the sounds of the resort's staff talking could be faintly heard from the foot of the mountain.

Lin Chen grabbed her hand:

"That's enough, it's time to go back. I'll bring you back when the resort is completely deserted tonight."

Chen Yannan lay limply on the edge, her upper body weak, shivering as if she were a little cold.

After a while, I felt much better. I put on my clothes to cover my perfect figure, got up, and followed him outside.

As I passed by him, I secretly hooked my hand around his palm with a smile on my face.

The next morning, not long after dawn, Liu Yishui called Lin Chen. The other end of the line was noisy and quite lively.

"Brother Chen, there's a promotion event in Tieling today. It's a huge event, with bosses from all over the country here. Do you want to come and take a look? You might find a good project."

"I won't go; I can't leave the resort."

Lin Chen got out of bed, pulled his arm out of Chen Yannan's arms, walked over to Xie Xiaomei who was applying a face mask at the dressing table, and kissed her.

"How annoying..." Xie Xiaomei lightly hit him.

Lin Chen put on his pants while putting the phone on speakerphone:

"Besides, Xiaomei is pregnant, so I have to stay home with her."

Xie Xiaomei leaned closer to the phone and said:

"Yishui, Xiaomeng has also received the notification, but the factory is too busy and she can't spare the time. Could you keep an eye on things and see if there are any suitable projects for the bean product factory to cooperate on? Thank you for your help."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've got your back!"

Liu Yishui agreed readily:

"I'll write down any suitable ones I find immediately and contact Xiaomeng directly later!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yishui, accompanied by his female assistant, drove straight to the promotion meeting.

There are so many booths here, selling everything from agricultural machinery and cars to mountain products and aquaculture projects. The shouts and introductions from each vendor are all mixed together, creating a chaotic scene.

"There are just too many people!"

The slightly chubby assistant followed behind Liu Yishui, looking around with great interest:

"Brother Liu, look, they're selling cars over there! These cars are getting better and better!"

"Stop looking around. We're here to do business. Focus on the project, don't just watch the show."

The two strolled slowly through the food exhibition area when the assistant suddenly nudged Liu Yishui's arm and gestured with his lips:

"Brother Liu, look over there, that young man looks quite dashing."

Liu Yishui looked up and glanced at it; it was indeed quite nice.

He curled his lip:

"No, what did I bring you here for? We're looking for business partners, so pay attention! Besides, what's so great about him? Can he be more handsome than Brother Chen?"

The assistant quickly shook his head:

"That's definitely not as good! Brother Chen looks like a celebrity, this guy is nowhere near as good."

"That's right. So tell me honestly, is he as handsome as me?"

The assistant looked down at his feet and said:

"Brother Liu, I'm going to wander around over there. Let's split up and look around faster!" With that, he skipped off.
