Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 329: I’m So Lucky to Have Met You

January 1st.

Early morning.

Liu Changqing slowly woke up from a deep sleep. Although he didn’t open his eyes yet, he instinctively reached out to hug the person beside him.

But... there was nothing.

His hand patted the spot next to him. After confirming it was empty, Liu Changqing finally opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

The spot where An Yuanyao should have been lying was empty.

He fell silent.

He sat up from the bed with a swoosh. Staring at the slightly unfamiliar surroundings, it took him a moment to realize—he had moved houses last night.

This slightly strange bedroom was now his new home...

But... where was his wife?

No time to think, Liu Changqing jumped out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and rushed outside. Only after hearing movement from the kitchen did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As he walked toward the kitchen, Liu Changqing muttered to himself.

"I told you, now that I'm here... you can just rest easy..."

Entering the kitchen, Liu Changqing didn’t even finish his sentence. When he saw the two figures inside, he froze completely.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Dad and Mom... why are they here?

Liu Haicheng.

Hao Jing.

The two of them sensed movement behind them and turned to look at Liu Changqing.

His mother, Hao Jing, said,

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth. You have to go to work soon."

"Work?"

"What's wrong? Still half-asleep? Didn't you say you were starting your internship today?"

Liu Haicheng added, his tone laced with a bit of scolding as he noticed his son’s odd expression.

"When you get to the company, don’t be afraid of hard work. Young people need to toughen up a little. And if you see any pretty girls, if she’s got a good personality... take her out for a meal or a movie. Try to bring her home by New Year."

"......"

His father’s familiar voice echoed in his ears. Liu Changqing stood at the kitchen door, stunned like a fool. After a few seconds, he snapped out of it and bolted toward the bathroom.

He threw open the door and looked into the mirror.

The moment his eyes landed on his reflection, Liu Changqing’s face was filled with shock. His mouth hung open, but not a word came out.

In the mirror... it was the face he had in his previous life.

No... no...

This isn’t real.

It’s a dream!

Realizing that, Liu Changqing suddenly felt his body sink. When he opened his eyes again, he shot up from the bed, gasping for air.

Huge, gulping breaths.

"What's wrong... another nightmare?"

A familiar voice came from beside him.

An Yuanyao, awakened by Liu Changqing’s sudden movements, rubbed her eyes and pushed herself upright, scooting over to his side.

She opened her arms and hugged him.

Like comforting a child, she whispered softly,

"Don't be scared... I'm right here."

"......"

Silence.

Liu Changqing slowly turned his head to look at An Yuanyao, who was hugging him. Hearing her coaxing tone, his once-chaotic mind gradually cleared up.

First, he looked around the room.

Then he lifted his hand and pinched himself.

"Hiss!"

He used too much force—it hurt like crazy.

But it perfectly proved he was wide awake now.

Still...

"Why are you comforting me like I’m a little kid?"

"......"

Hearing Liu Changqing’s question, An Yuanyao, who had been gently patting his back, suddenly froze. She blinked twice, her eyes focusing on his face.

After a long moment of silence, she finally said,

"Last night... you kept asking me to hold you."

"What?"

"You kept asking me to hold you... and you kept saying sorry."

"......"

Facing An Yuanyao who said this so seriously, Liu Changqing didn’t even know how to respond. He raised his hand and covered his forehead.

Drinking is such a menace!

Watching Liu Changqing’s reaction, An Yuanyao couldn’t help but feel like laughing. Scenes from last night, after the lights went out, flashed in her mind...

She clearly remembered him mumbling nonstop.

"Hug me tighter..."

So cute.

That’s what she thought inside.

This was the first time An Yuanyao had seen Liu Changqing drunk. He wasn’t like Liu Xiazhi said—he didn’t get crazy when drunk.

On the contrary... he was very quiet.

More like a little kid.

Liu Changqing had no idea what she was thinking.

Covering his forehead, he desperately tried to recall what he had done last night.

But he couldn’t remember at all. He only vaguely remembered Chen Dafu forcing him to drink nonstop...

That little b*stard...

"Baby, I didn’t do anything stupid last night, did I?"

Suddenly, a terrifying thought struck him. Liu Changqing threw off the covers and stared down at his naked body. When he looked back up at her, his face was filled with horror.

"I... I didn’t, like, strip in front of them... or do anything shameful, right?!"

"......"

"I’m doomed! My reputation is completely ruined!!"

"No, no! I was the one who helped you take off your clothes!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, really!"

Looking at An Yuanyao’s very serious face, Liu Changqing finally let out a long breath after confirming he hadn’t done anything crazy in front of the kids.

Calming down,

Liu Changqing thought back to the dream he just had. His gaze landed on An Yuanyao beside him.

The two of them locked eyes.

Suddenly, Liu Changqing leaned in and gently hugged her.

He rested his forehead against hers.

As if letting out a huge sigh of relief, he murmured,

"I'm so glad you're still here with me."

"Why are you saying that all of a sudden..."

Feeling Liu Changqing’s warmth, An Yuanyao got a little flustered. Hearing him say something so cheesy...

It was embarrassing, but... she secretly loved it.

But before she could keep savoring the moment, Liu Changqing stopped hugging her. He rolled out of bed, grabbed the clothes neatly folded on the nightstand, and started getting dressed.

While dressing, he said,

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"I like anything you make."

Although she felt a little disappointed that their cuddle session was over, An Yuanyao still answered cheerfully when she heard he was going to cook.

Hearing her reply, Liu Changqing pulled on his sweater, adjusted his sleeves, and walked out.

"Okay then. You just rest a little more. It might take a while. I’ll call you when it’s ready."

"Okay!"

Watching Liu Changqing’s back as he left, seeing the door close behind him, An Yuanyao lay back down again. But this time, she shifted over to where Liu Changqing had just been lying.

She could still feel the lingering warmth.

She hugged the blanket tighter.

An Yuanyao closed her eyes, her hands naturally resting on her lower belly, feeling the life growing inside her.

Smiling softly, she whispered to herself, as if speaking to the unborn baby.

She said gently,

"Meeting your daddy... Mommy is really so lucky, baby."
