If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Chapter 144 Legal Identity

Zhu Tingyue led her people towards the courtyard.

"What do you think? If this is a big deal, the Shen family will definitely be notified!"

Shen Yanqiu was also thinking about this problem.

To be honest, he had no feelings for the Shen family, so he never intended to tell them about his relationship with Zhu Tingyue.

But things are different now; the child's presence has disrupted the balance he had created.

After thinking it over, Shen Yanqiu said, "We need to tell Shen Yingchu about the child, but can we keep our identities a secret?"

Zhu Tingyue agreed: "Of course, such a thing sounds unbelievable, and not telling them will save us a lot of trouble."

“However,” Zhu Tingyue changed the subject, “I have to talk to him about this!”

She is now "Shen Yanqiu"!

"Okay, then you go and tell them."

Shen Yanqiu was still a little worried and instructed, "If he says anything unpleasant, don't take it to heart. Tell me when you get back, and I'll stand up for you later."

Shen Yanqiu was unaware of Zhu Tingyue's status in the Shen family and thought she would be bullied.

Zhu Tingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me, Zhu Tingyue, I'm two against one. I guarantee I'll make those three from the Shen family completely obedient and follow my lead."

By evening, Zhu Tingyue still hadn't moved.

Shen Yanqiu frowned, full of doubt, and asked in bewilderment, "Why are you still dawdling here and refusing to go?"

Zhu Tingyue replied calmly, "No rush."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqiu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

You know, the baby's one-month celebration is coming soon, which is an important day, and there are many things that need to be prepared in advance.

So he couldn't help but urge again: "The baby's one-month celebration is just around the corner, time is running out, how can you not be worried at all?"

Zhu Tingyue first glanced cautiously at the beautiful, sleeping child in his arms.

Then she slowly shifted her gaze to his slightly anxious face. She subconsciously pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just took a soft breath.

She deliberately lowered her originally clear and melodious voice and said, "We are pregnant, but we don't have legal status yet!"

Shen Yanqiu stared wide-eyed at the other person, her face full of astonishment, as if she had heard a fairy tale.

His lips trembled slightly, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words from his throat: "Legal...identity?"

The sound was as soft as the flutter of a mosquito's wings, but the shock it contained was unmistakable.

Zhu Tingyue nodded emphatically and said firmly, "That's right! It's the marriage certificate! With it, we'll be a legally married couple, protected by law!"

Zhu Tingyue looked at his dazed expression with amusement and patiently explained, "Think about it, if I go to Shen Yingchu to talk about the child, and he asks me who the child's mother is, wouldn't I have to let him know it's you?"

"If he knew the child was ours, given your current status as the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, who would believe it without a marriage certificate?"

"Putting everything else aside, just look at my parents. Would they agree to us being together? And why would they bring a child with them?"

Shen Yanqiu thought about it and realized that it made sense.

But there's a problem!

I haven't even proposed to you yet!

Zhu Tingyue put her arm around his shoulder: "You're going to propose to me? I should be the one proposing to you!"

Shen Yanqiu lowered his head, his voice barely audible: "That works too!"

Zhu Tingyue: "..."

Afraid of disappointing him, she quickly comforted him: "I'll definitely propose, but right now the most urgent thing is the baby's one-month celebration. How about we get our marriage certificate first?"
