With the wedding approaching, Jiang Mo thought she would be swamped, but it actually turned out to be much easier than she had imagined.
All she had to do was pick out a wedding dress and put together the guest list for her and Gu Ye.
A professional wedding agency was handling the rest, with Su Yunjin personally taking charge of any remaining details.
"Is it really okay for us to just sit back and do nothing?" Jiang Mo asked.
"It's fine. We can trust Mom, and she's more than happy to help," Gu Ye said, his eyes fixed on Jiang Mo's belly. "Based on my observations over the past few days, this baby is definitely a girl. I can't be wrong."
Jiang Mo glanced down at her flat stomach and teased, "Oh, aren't you a man of many talents? You can even predict that?"
Gu Ye raised an eyebrow. "Of course. I've been communicating with the heavens every single day."
Jiang Mo couldn't help but laugh. This guy had been acting so superstitious lately, constantly muttering about having a daughter.
The wedding invitations were quickly printed and sent out. Upon hearing that Jiang Mo was getting married, all her friends in their group chat immediately showered her with congratulations.
"Thank you all for the well wishes! I'm going to need four bridesmaids. My dear friends, would you do me the honor?"
Li Wan'er: "I'm a hundred percent in!"
Zhang Qingqing: "Goes without saying. I'm booking my ticket right now."
Guo Yanni: "Ahhh! This is going to be my first time being a bridesmaid!"
Including Jiang Mo's younger cousin, the bridal party was quickly finalized.
Jiang Mo asked for everyone's sizes, ordered the bridesmaid dresses, carefully selected the party favors, and booked their hotel rooms.
Over on Gu Ye's side, he chose his close high school buddies for his groomsmen.
"Bro, you should join my groomsmen too."
"Me, join your groomsmen? I don't know if that's a good idea," Li Zheng muttered.
Gu Ye patted him on the shoulder. "What, are we not brothers?"
Jiang Mo walked by just then. "Master Ye, look at you being so aggressive. Are you really trying to poach my people?"
Li Zheng shuffled behind Jiang Mo. "Hehe, I have to be my sister's bag carrier."
Gu Ye smiled at Jiang Mo and surrendered. "How could I ever steal your people? Even I belong to you."
With most of the wedding arrangements being handled by others, the couple continued going to work as usual. Jiang Mo handed out wedding invitations to her coworkers at the company. Her lunch buddy, Doudou, looked around and couldn't help but gasp. "Does this mean I'm going to see Gu Ye? Oh my gosh, this will be my first time seeing a celebrity up close!"
"Don't worry, I know the drill. I'll keep it a secret and won't leak any photos."
"He left the entertainment industry years ago. He's not a celebrity anymore," Jiang Mo said, taking a sip of her coffee.
Doudou rested her chin in her hands. "That's different. He still has that star aura. You have no idea, there are still tons of fans online waiting for him to make a comeback."
Jiang Mo just shook her head at that, remaining noncommittal.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion. However, Jiang Mo still suffered from occasional bouts of poor appetite, which severely affected her desire to eat.
Fortunately, after about half a month, her appetite slowly began to return.
During this time, Gu Ye's urge to shop went into overdrive. Every day, various packages were delivered to their home.
An entire spare bedroom was stuffed to the brim with baby supplies.
Jiang Mo looked at the room full of items; there were even toys that a child wouldn't be able to play with until they were at least two years old.
"Don't you think it's a bit too early to be preparing all this?"
"Not at all. Kids grow up so fast," Gu Ye said enthusiastically. "What do you think of this toy? It's pink and super cute. Our daughter is going to love it."
Jiang Mo stopped him. "Please, no more shopping. We have enough."
But the moment she turned her back, she caught the guy secretly placing another order online.
The days flew by in a flash, and soon, the date of their wedding was just around the corner.
