Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

Three months later.

Shen Yan secretly sent a WeChat message to Gu Zhihua: [Little sister-in-law, is everything prepared for the thing I asked you to do tonight?]

Gu Zhihua: [Don't worry, tonight I'll definitely move Qianqian so much that she'll agree to marry you on the spot.]

Shen Yan looked at Bai Qianqian, who was putting on makeup at the dressing table, his eyes filled with tenderness. Tonight was the day Bai Qianqian's design won first prize, and she would be going on stage to receive the award. He would also be proposing to her tonight. Good things come in pairs, and this would be an unforgettable anniversary for them.

Bai Qianqian seemed to sense Shen Yan's gaze. She turned her head and met his gaze. Her eyes crinkled into a smile. "Why are you peeking at me and smiling like that? You're not plotting something again, are you?"

"No way, my girlfriend is so beautiful, I was just mesmerized." Shen Yan smiled.

"You're so cheeky." Bai Qianqian smiled and turned back to continue applying makeup.

Meanwhile, the three members of the Lin family had already returned to China, leaving only Lin Jiali in Country C. She stayed there to impersonate Lin Jiaqian and prevent Shen Yan from discovering that Lin Jiaqian had already returned to China.

Lin Jiali sat in the living room, looking resentful. Why was it that only Lin Jiaqian could be a pawn, and why couldn't she be?

If Lin Jiaqian marries into a wealthy family, she might treat her parents well out of gratitude for giving birth to her, but not necessarily me. I've been going against her in every way lately, so I guess the first thing she'll do after marrying into a wealthy family is to deal with me. No, I must seduce Shen Yan first!

In Kyoto, a remote suburb, Lin Wenguang rented a house.

"Jiaqian, I've made arrangements for tonight. You only have one chance, so you must make the most of it," Lin Wenguang said.

"I know I will not fail this time. After all the twists and turns, Shen Yan can only be mine." Lin Jiaqian revealed a determined smile.

"You should still be careful. Shen Yan and his friends are not to be trifled with. You must remember this and not let any loophole slip through your fingers," Xu Qinglan repeatedly instructed.

"Alright, look at me, do you think there's something wrong with me?" Lin Jiaqian stood up and turned around.

"No problem. If we didn't know the truth, we wouldn't have guessed either," Lin Wenguang said with a smile.

"Alright, you go and get ready too. We must succeed tonight," Xu Qinglan said.

"Okay." Lin Jiaqian got up and went back to her room.

Ink Garden.

The Mo's Group is the organizer of this design competition, so the couple will be attending.

Gu Zhihua was pregnant and wasn't wearing makeup. Her belly was already showing, and her skin looked amazing even without makeup. She applied some lip balm to moisturize her lips, making her complexion look very good.

Mo Yeting hugged her from behind, "Wife, you are the most beautiful pregnant woman."

Gu Zhihua touched her slightly protruding belly. "I think I've gained weight recently. Will I become a 200-pound fat woman after giving birth?"

"Whether you're fat or not, your husband will love you the same." Mo Yeting kissed her cheek.

"Honey, you have such a sweet tongue. Okay, go change your clothes too. We're about to leave. Aren't you the organizer? You're the first one to speak on stage." Gu Zhihua urged him to change his clothes.

"Leng Yan can handle these things; I'll just be responsible for presenting the awards." Mo Yeting gently brushed her nose before turning to change his clothes.

7 PM.

People began to enter the seven-star hotel.

Bai Qianqian was already waiting in the backstage lounge. Although her designs were already quite famous, this was the first time she had submitted her work to a competition. Since meeting Shen Yan, she had become more confident.

Shen Yan entered and sat in the VIP seat in the front row. His lips remained pressed together; tonight was of extraordinary significance to him.

Gu Zhihua and the others arrived as well. They walked to the front row and sat down together.

"Shen Yan, you look so happy today," Gu Zhihua teased. "You two have finally tied the knot."

"Thanks to my sister-in-law for helping with the planning," Shen Yan said, then looked at Mo Yeting. "I also want to thank my fourth brother for giving me this opportunity to propose."

Mo Yeting gave a forced smile. "Save your smooth talk for when you propose to Qianqian later."

"Have Qianqian's parents arrived?" Shen Yan looked around but didn't see anyone.

"They're on their way," Gu Zhihua said, just as Hu Fang walked in arm in arm with Bai Hua. "Look, your future in-laws are here."

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt." Shen Yan greeted them politely.

"No need to be so polite, we'll be family soon." Hu Fang smiled broadly. The couple knew there was a proposal coming up today. They wanted their daughter to be happy, and Shen Yan was a good person, so they felt comfortable entrusting their daughter to him.

"You're saying this as if you're eager to marry your daughter off," Bai Hua said unhappily. He was both happy and reluctant to see his precious daughter get married.

"You're saying that? Shen Yan is such an outstanding son-in-law, you'd be hard-pressed to find one even with a lantern," Hu Fang retorted. "Shen Yan, just ignore him, he's an old-fashioned guy."

"No, I understand. Father-in-law is also reluctant to part with Qianqian. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Qianqian well. Whenever she wants to go back to Lincheng, I will accompany her," Shen Yan assured him.

at this time.

The lights in the venue gradually dimmed, while the stage lights came on, signaling the start of the awards ceremony.

Bai Qianqian was waiting in the lounge, feeling a little bored. Just as she was about to send a message to Shen Yan, the door was opened.

She turned her head and saw a man wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low. Bai Qianqian became alert when she saw this, stood up from the stool, and before she could say anything, the man sprayed her with the spray bottle several times.

Bai Qianqian felt her vision becoming increasingly blurry, and then she lost consciousness.

Lin Jiaqian walked in, a sinister glint in her eyes. "Let you be smug?"

Lin Wenguang went out for some fresh air, and Xu Qinglan helped Lin Jiaqian take off Bai Qianqian's dress and then helped her change into a cleaner's uniform.

Xu Qinglan walked to the door and said, "Hurry up and put the person in the cleaning cart."

"Jiaqian, be careful not to give yourself away," Xu Qinglan said before leaving.

"Okay, you guys hurry up and leave. If you keep arguing, people will find out and the plan will be ruined." Lin Jiaqian urged them to leave.

Lin Wenguang stuffed Bai Qianqian into the cleaning cart, and the couple disappeared together at the door of the rest room.

Lin Jiaqian closed the door to the lounge, changed into Bai Qianqian's clothes, sat in front of the dressing table, put on the same makeup as Bai Qianqian, and put on Bai Qianqian's headdress. Once she was ready, she looked at herself in the mirror and showed a smug smile.

Bai Qianqian, let me take your place as the Bai family's daughter, let me marry Shen Yan in your place.
