Mu Wensheng stayed for two more days with Family Jing before going back. He liked to stay in his little house with a yard rather than in this modern villa with so much empty space.
Of course, before he left, he took Jing Tianyuan away from home, too. He claimed that it was to help him recover faster but he had just wanted to find someone to be his chess mate.
Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen moved back home two days later.
Knowing that she was pregnant, Shangguan Ning was extremely happy. But she slipped back into her normal routine after the excitement passed. For example, she continued to wear high-heels and tight skirts. She continued to drink sour plum juice and eat hawthorn slices.
She was not feeling uncomfortable after getting pregnant. She could still eat and sleep as usual.
Rather, she had a bigger appetite than before. She had been turned into a complete… food lover!
But soon, she realized that all of her high heels and skirts were all gone, leaving only pants in the wardrobe.
The sour plum juice and hawthorn slices which she fancied, were all gone too!
She went to find Jing Yichen barefooted and said angrily, “Where are my shoes?”
Jing Yichen looked down at her feet and said nothing.
He bent down, removed his own slippers and put them upon Shangguan Ning’s feet. The shoes were enormous but they were warm enough to keep her from feeling cold.
After he finished doing this, he got up and took her into his arms as if she were a precious treasure. Then he kissed her gently on the forehead and lips.
“Baby, didn’t I say that you should remember to wear shoes at home. The floor is not warm.”
He sounded so gentle and spoiled that Shangguan Ning became completely appeased. Forgetting her anger, she let out a soft “okay” sound.
“As for those high heels, I tossed them away. You are not going to wear them before the child is born, okay?”
Read more chapter on vipnovel.comShangguan Ning had heard that wearing high heels caused miscarriage, but tossing those shoes away made her heart ache.
It seemed that Jing Yichen understood about her heart-ache, so he said with a smile, “I have enough money that I can buy you however many shoes you want. I can even buy out an entire mall!”
“What about my dresses? I can’t wear sportswear to work every day, can I?”
“Oh, your dresses just can’t cover the knees. For your sake of health, you better wear the cotton sportswear. I am the boss and I will take away the bonuses or salary of anyone who talks nonsense at the company about your attire.”
The boss was simply too arrogant and unreasonable!
“Also, baby, I don’t seem to have given you permission to work!”
Shangguan Ning’s eyes widened. She gave a hard pinch on Jing Yichen’s waist. “Why am I not going to work? I am completely fine. The baby is fine too. I want to work, I do!”
“You can go to work after the baby is three months old. Stay at home for the baby for three months and I will reduce my travel time too. I will keep you company, eat meals with you and take a walk with you. I will tell stories to the baby too, okay?”
Shangguan Ning couldn’t turn down such a sweet and considerate offer from Jing Yichen.
She showed a joyful smile on the face. “Did you just read everything about pregnant women?”
She had found some books of therapies and food taboos for pregnant women in the study. Jing Yichen must have asked someone to buy those books.
“Of course, it will be the first time for me to be a father and I have to read to know and understand your pregnancy. So, I have confiscated your sour plum juice and hawthorn slices. No more eating those! It is just been one month and you can’t eat everything you want. I will tell Old Du, Sister Lan and Sister Fang about the taboos so that they can keep an eye out for you.”
“What? None at all? I like those sour and sweet things. I can’t live without the sour plum juice.”
She neither drank tea or coffee. She didn’t like any drinks apart from sour plum juice. How will she survive without the juice?
“Yes, I know that you want to drink it. So I asked Grandpa Mu who told me that you can drink a little of sour plum juice but not every day. I will control the amount you take in. If you want something sour and sweet, then eat yoghurt. That is better than sour plum juice and also good for you and the baby!”
“Also, no more spicy food, no more ice cream, no more deep-fried or junk food, no more…”
Shangguan Ning was feeling very bad after hearing those things being forbidden by Jing Yichen.
She remembered that many female staff in Jingsheng got pregnant too and they didn’t seem to have so many taboos to follow.
Was Jing Yichen just overly careful…
When evening came, Shangguan Ning got a bit hesitant when she brought out the golden-color medical wine.
Was she supposed to drink it or not?
“Too much of it would not make me give birth to a transformer, would it?”
She was mumbling in front of the fridge when Jing Yichen burst into laughter as he approached her and heard the words.
Grandpa Mu was just teasing and exaggerating. But this silly woman has taken it for real.
Jing Yichen held her from behind and placed his chin upon her neck as he chuckled softly, “According to Mu Qing, it is excellent for the baby. Just drink it. We are not deities, so how can we give birth to a transformer? You have just watched too many animated films.”
What did he mean by too many animated films? She had just watched a few of them.
Shangguan Ning rolled her eyes at him, removed the lid and took a spoonful of it. Then she gave Jing Yichen a spoonful as well.
After they finished with the wine, Jing Yichen carried Shangguan Ning out of the dining room and headed into the bedroom through the living room.
Shangguan Ning had her arms around his neck and mumbled. “I can walk by myself. I am not that spoiled. My baby and I are totally fine. Also, isn’t walking better for the labor?”
Jing Yichen had been carrying her around during the past few days, refusing to let her walk much.
“You have not yet reached the three-month stage yet. Wait after you reach the fourth month. You can walk more, then.”
Jing Yichen put Shangguan Ning onto the bed softly and laid down next to her.
Nestled inside his arms, Shangguan Ning looked at him naughtily. “You know so much, even though you are not pregnant.”
Jing Yichen didn’t mind being teased by her. He had read through all the books about pregnant women. He had taken them from Mu Qing and called him many times a day. He needed to ask Mu Qing for confirmation when some contradictory things occurred in the books or some mistakes happened.
He was really happy that Shangguan Ning had gotten pregnant. His heart was full of love and he wished that his woman and child would be safe and healthy.
