The fashion show the day before the race proceeded as scheduled. With Vivian absent, Song Ni helped Bartery with what she could. Although Song Ni hadn't been involved in the theme of this race from the start, having learned about it through Tan Zheng, she felt Bartery had put a lot of effort into this fashion show. When Ian arrived, Song Ni was offering a small suggestion to Bartery. During this period, besides handling family matters, Ian had also lost quite a bit of weight due to the issue with Vivian. Song Ni glanced at him, then looked away. It was the first time Song Ni had shown her dislike so obviously. Ian smiled, his eyes filled with the fatigue from the recent troubles. The pressure from his family, the so-called reputation, and that idiotic fiancée – he had had enough. He took a deep breath. "Has Vivian been in touch with you?" People, appearing strong, actually have hidden weaknesses they themselves are sometimes unaware of. Thus, they instinctively seek an outlet for their emotions. And Ian chose Vivian at this moment. Hearing his question, Song Ni rolled her eyes and started to roll up her sleeves as if to start a fight. Bartery reacted quickly enough to pull her back. Seeing the situation, Ian leaned casually against a cabinet, smiling. As he smiled, his expression gradually turned bitter. Did he care about Vivian that much? No. Coming from such a noble background, especially someone like Ian, they were cold-hearted. Song Ni felt she didn't even want to stay in the same room with him. After telling Bartery about the doctor, Song Ni left the room. Tan Zheng had originally been invited to this fashion show, but he disliked such occasions and had returned to the club to make arrangements. Song Ni's presence was initially for Bartery. Now that Ian had shown up, Song Ni felt there was no need for her to stay any longer. The air conditioning in the room was strong. Stepping out into the sun, Song Ni felt a slight discomfort adapting to the change. After taking a few deep breaths and exhaling slowly, Song Ni felt the frantic beat of her heart in her chest. For this race, Song Ni felt more nervous than Tan Zheng. Perhaps from a long, long time ago, she had been looking forward to seeing Tan Zheng on the track, especially after understanding what happened back then. Song Ni smiled, anticipating Tan Zheng winning the championship tomorrow, so she wouldn't have to worry so much. It wasn't far from where they were staying, so Song Ni chose to walk instead of taking a car. After walking for only ten minutes, Tan Zheng, who had arrived at some point, started walking beside her. In the past, Song Ni disliked taking walks, nor did she like exposing herself outdoors in such hot weather. Tan Zheng looked thoughtful, gazing at Song Ni for a long time. "Baby, have you noticed you've been a little different lately?" Song Ni paused her steps, looked at Tan Zheng, and placed a finger on her chin. She was unsure about her own physical condition and lacked confidence. However, she wasn't good at lying in front of Tan Zheng. "I feel it too. I've been sleeping a lot lately. Maybe I was so sleep-deprived before that my body needs to catch up?" When Tan Zheng heard the word "sleep a lot," he suddenly looked at Song Ni's stomach, and an idea popped into his head. On his birthday night, they had both gotten a bit carried away, and in the end, they hadn't used protection. By the time he remembered, it was too late for emergency measures. However, the thought of pregnancy only lasted for a second in his mind before Tan Zheng dismissed it. She had her period a few days ago, so how could this be the reason? As for Song Ni, she thought the bleeding was a sign of a health problem and dared not tell Tan Zheng it wasn't menstrual blood at such a critical juncture. After accompanying Song Ni back, Tan Zheng drove back to the club. On the day of the race, Song Ni woke up very early. However, to avoid waking Tan Zheng, she lay in bed watching his sleeping face. When Tan Zheng slowly opened his eyes, Song Ni leaned forward and kissed his forehead. "Honey, good luck." Tan Zheng closed his eyes, nuzzling her shoulder and neck as if lingering, and sighed contentedly, embracing Song Ni's waist. Back when he was a race car driver, he never received such treatment before a race. Tan Zheng even felt that Song Ni's simple "good luck" could sweep away all his fatigue and fill him with energy. After the race, they had to arrive at the race venue early for preparations, and Song Ni naturally accompanied Tan Zheng. She wore Tan Zheng's favorite red dress. Compared to the group of people in casual wear, she was simply too dazzling. While Tan Zheng was preparing, Song Ni filmed him with her camera, capturing his every expression. With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his expression remained as calm, and his gaze as confident as ever. At ease. The aura of a strong person. Song Ni felt her chest overflowing with love just by looking at Tan Zheng through the lens. It was hard to imagine such a heavenly prodigy calling out "wife" and "baby" into his ear. Song Ni almost felt like crying. She was finally going to see Tan Zheng on the race track. Yet, as a tear actually fell from the corner of her eye, Song Ni found it strange. She wasn't a person who cried easily; why was her emotion so sensitive now? Song Ni raised her hand to wipe away the tears. At that moment, a phone call came in. It was Song Jing. The entire Song family knew about Tan Zheng's comeback and were also nervous, timing their calls to Song Ni. Song Jing knew Song Ni too well; the moment he saw her expression, he sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong? Are you crying?" Song Ni frowned. "Why would I be crying? It's such a great day." Song Jing stared at Song Ni for a long while, and under the urging of others, he finally began to ask, "How are Tan Zheng's preparations going? This is his first race since his comeback, and we're all very concerned. We were afraid of disturbing you, so we held back from calling until now." Song Ni tilted her chin and snorted proudly. "My husband is very capable. Just you wait, he'll definitely bring home a championship." As it was Tan Zheng's first race since his comeback, many media outlets had already arrived at the scene, rushing towards Tan Zheng, afraid of falling behind or missing any details. This was a major event, with channels in many countries broadcasting the race. Song Jing and the others were in the living room, watching the scene being prepared on the screen. They had originally called Song Ni to check on Tan Zheng, but unexpectedly, Song Ni hung up the video call after a few words so she could film Tan Zheng properly. The group felt helpless. Seeing Song Ni's excitement, however, made them happy. Tan Zheng truly cherished Song Ni and took great care of her. The fact that he was willing to put aside his work in China and accompany Song Ni to England for a year made the Song family extremely satisfied with Tan Zheng.
