Chapter 722: 722, such an important day, must come
On the day of the ritual, relatives of the Li Family all gathered at the old house by Cuiming Lake.
With her bulging belly, it was not easy for Song Qinghuan to kneel and bow. Luckily, the Li family’s custom required wearing ancient ceremonial clothing for the ritual.
Thus, she wore a large Han clothing and sat directly on a cushion.
Everyone knew she was pregnant, so they all turned a blind eye.
But having a large belly made sitting uncomfortable as well. She was drenched in sweat after only half an hour.
However, the final part of the ritual, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, had not yet been completed.
Li Chengyun ordered Song Qinghuan to rest in her room for an hour before continuing the rituals.
When she opened the door to her room, she saw someone sitting on the couch.
He was leaning lazily yet gracefully against the couch, his strikingly clear eyes, akin to shiny obsidian stones under his long brows, were fixed on a magazine in his hands. His gaze, both gentle and cold.
Hearing a noise, he turned his head …
Upon seeing Song Qinghuan, he revealed a captivating smile.
Perhaps because they hadn’t seen each other in a while, his adoring smile intoxicated Song Qinghuan.
For a moment, she was surprised and lost in time.
Li Chengyun once told her that if her loved one appeared at this ritual, she and her loved one would be blessed with a lifetime of happiness.
Even though she thought it might just be make-believe or wishful thinking, deep down, Song Qinghuan wished Shi Yuhuan would come.
However, she had asked Brother Li Chengyun yesterday, and this morning, if Shi Yuhuan would come.
Li Chengyun always replied that Shi Yuhuan was too busy and would not come.
If he wouldn’t come, why was he here?
Seeing Song Qinghuan being stunned with surprise, Shi Yuhuan got up from his couch with elegance, walked over to her, bent down, and gave her a light peck on her slightly parted lips.
The warm kiss snapped Song Qinghuan back to reality. She wrapped her arms around his, “Shi Yuhuan!”
Her voice was soft and warm, sweet as honey.
Shi Yuhuan’s lips curled upwards at her tone. He guided her to sit down on the couch with him, “Tired?”
“Not tired,” Song Qinghuan held on to his arm tightly.
Her belly was so big that she could only hold his hand, not his body, “Didn’t you say you didn’t have time? Why are you here?”
Shi Yuhuan chuckled, “Such an important day, of course, I would come!”
“Important?” Song Qinghuan pouted a little, chuckling, “Not really that important.”
Shi Yuhuan lifted his hand to stroke her silky hair, “Of course it’s important. Every daughter of the Li Family receives the most beautiful blessings in the world after the ritual, along with the one she loves the most.”
“So, you came all this way.” Song Qinghuan tilted her head upwards, her face beaming with joy.
Shi Yuhuan leaned in, giving her another kiss on her lips, “You are more important than anyone else, anything else.”
“Shi Yuhuan, our baby will be born soon, but we haven’t thought of a name yet. What do you think we should name him?” Qinghuan asked lightly, leaning softly into his arms.
Shi Yuhuan ran his fingers through her long hair, looking at her with fondness, softly replied, “You should name our child, be it a boy or a girl, whatever you like to call them, we’ll name them that.”
Qinghuan wrinkled her brow, “Is that okay? Won’t it seem a bit too casual? Shouldn’t the father be the one to name the child? Seems more formal that way.”
