Luo Yushu had no energy to take care of the Luo family's affairs. She was pregnant, had severe morning sickness, and had a bad appetite.
Cai Zhen had been a nanny for many years and had learned nutritious recipes and cooked different kinds of dishes and soups for her, but she couldn't eat them and she had lost a lot of weight.
Her face, which used to be a bit fleshy, has now become smaller. What she wanted to do most in the past was to become slim. Now that she is slim, she is panicking, for fear that her child will lack nutrition.
Eat walnuts, sesame seeds, vitamin supplements...
After coming out of the shower, Luo Yushu stood on the electronic scale, her eyebrows tightened instantly, and she looked at Ji Huai behind her with a frown: "I lost another pound!"
He was leaning on the bed looking at the computer and sat up when he heard this.
"Take a look." Luo Yushu walked towards him with a notebook and handed it to him angrily, her face falling.
Ji Huai took it and saw that it was filled with data she had recorded. He closed the book and looked at her with a frown on her face: "Are you a little too anxious?"
"You don't care about us at all!" The new mother's eyes suddenly turned red and she choked out, "It's not like you are pregnant with the child, so of course you don't care. You also made sarcastic remarks, and my mother said it..."
"No." Ji Huai quickly denied it, stretched out his hand to pull her over, and explained for himself, "If you put all your energy on this, you will inevitably become anxious. The most important thing is to keep a good mood."
"How do you keep a good mood?" She took a breath and said to him again, "You..."
"It's still early. I'll watch a movie with you and then go to bed after watching it, okay?" Ji Huai knew that she was upset, so he didn't let her continue and changed the topic.
Without waiting for her to agree, he went over to carry her to bed, lay down, held her in his arms, reached for the tablet, opened the APP, and looked for a movie to watch.
"I don't watch movies." Luo Yushu muttered.
"Can you watch it with me and the baby?" He asked aloud.
She looked sideways at him, her expression softened, and then she leaned into his arms and said, "The work is really boring, there are so many trivial matters, and the leader even draws pictures of the pie. That pie is really big and round!"
I wasn't so irritable before. Maybe it was because I was pregnant with a child. After I changed jobs, things became more complicated and I couldn't control my emotions well.
Ji Huai laughed when he heard it, and then he said calmly: "I'll take a look at those documents for you later, and help you organize them by the way. It's not a big deal, so don't affect your mood."
She felt relieved after listening to his words. Before the movie started, she looked up at him again. His face was still so handsome, and the bridge of his nose was so straight. Looking at it, she felt much better. She really wanted to have a baby like him.
Ji Huai also noticed her gaze, lowered his eyes to look at her, lowered his head and covered her delicate lips, kissing her again and again.
Luo Yushu's eyes were filled with laughter, and she asked softly: "Do you like boys or girls?"
"Anything is fine." He replied.
"Perfunctory."
Ji Huai's dark eyes met hers and he chuckled helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. I will like whatever you give birth to. Don't think about it and make yourself more irritated. Children are all little treasures, and you are the big one. "
Luo Yushu smiled widely and was coaxed by him again.
The performance of the head office has been increasing steadily. Ji Huai no longer only relies on the few existing channels to sell. He also relies on his classmates and friends to open up new channels and win many big orders.
He has strong interpersonal skills, is tactful, and his circle has expanded rapidly. He already knows several of Yang Qi's friends. One of them, a second-generation rich man, has built several apartments and all the electrical appliances come from him.
The rebates in this industry are also high. He paid off his car loan quickly and still had a small savings.
He is easy-going and has just the right balance with others. Although he is a foreigner, he has a house and a car here, all of which are fully paid. He is good-looking and has strong working ability, which is not inferior to the local natives.
Li Liang is still hanging around in the store. Her academic qualifications are relatively good here, but her sales ability is not good and her salary is average. She had some feelings for Ji Huai before, but now that he is married, she has no idea about it, but even more. Ready to move.
Watching him talk, I felt like I was coated with light, and I couldn't restrain my heart at all.
Her mind wandered away from work, and her performance was inevitably not good. Today, she even had a deal fall through. The customer was grumpy and pointed at her nose and yelled at her. She was so frightened that she froze in place.
"Why can't I give it away? I gave it away last time."
"Sometimes I say yes, and now I say no. Do you think I'm a fool? I can't explain clearly. What kind of salesman do you think I am? Can you sell things?"
"Get your manager here!"
…
Li Liang tried to explain, but was scolded and yelled at. Other shop assistants saw this and did not go to help.
She is usually arrogant, and Li Ying favors her when she is in the store, which has long made the other clerks dissatisfied. During these days, she has been living in a tight spot and is almost isolated.
Ji Huai came out of the office and hurried over when he heard the noise.
The customer was losing his temper. Li Liang's eyes were filled with tears when he saw him coming and he couldn't explain why. Ji Huai's brows suddenly furrowed and he said to her: "Let's explain the situation clearly first."
Before she could say anything, the customer took over the conversation and said with a stern face: "On this refrigerator, she would say this and that. The introduction was not clear, and the money was not clear. What promotion was going on?" It’s full again…”
Ji Huai glanced aside, and when he looked at the customer again, he patiently explained the price of the event and the performance of the refrigerator. He also carefully understood the customer's needs and recommended a refrigerator with a higher cost performance.
The customer saw that the price was cheaper than the original price, and a water dispenser was provided, which made him less angry. Ji Huai spent a lot of effort to calm him down, and the customer finally placed the order.
When leaving the store, the customer looked at Li Liang standing aside and complained to Ji Huai: "You are an incompetent employee. What the hell are you? Not sincere!"
"She didn't understand clearly. It's indeed our fault. I'm sorry." Ji Huai took the responsibility and sent the other party to the door, saying a lot of good things.
After the other party left, Ji Huai turned around and went in again. Li Liang stood there with red eyes. Before she could speak, he said, "It's okay."
"I'm sorry, store manager." Li Liang said and cried again. This was the first time she had been scolded so harshly. She was distracted at work and did not do a good job in the preliminary work.
"I think you will do better next time, go to work." Ji Huai didn't say much, and went back to the office to continue busy with his own affairs before finishing the sentence.
Instead of scolding, he will use encouragement, so employees usually feel more guilty, will not cheat, and do things more responsibly.
Li Liang looked at his tall back, and her suppressed emotions kept rising. After that day, everyone noticed something strange about her.
She began to frequently bring fruit to the store, sometimes cutting it for everyone to eat, sometimes bringing yogurt, making fruit scoops for everyone, and leaving a portion for Ji Huai.
Wherever he was, she would move up to him and keep staring at him, paying special attention to him. If he said something, she would answer it faster than anyone else and be proactive.
Ji Huai is very sensitive, how could he not notice it? But naturally he could only pretend that he didn't know whether the other party had acted out of line.
Gradually, Li Liang developed to the point where she would ask him about work matters during off-duty hours, euphemistically calling it asking for advice.
As soon as the message was sent this time, Luo Yushu saw it clearly.
She was already in the third trimester of pregnancy and was due to give birth at the end of next month. She had difficulty moving. Just as she was about to lie down on the bed, she saw his cell phone ringing and saw a girl's name. Her eyes flashed.
A woman's sixth sense tells her something is wrong.
It is said that pregnancy and childbirth are the stages when men are most likely to cheat. Ji Huai has been busy recently, with a booming career and constant socializing. She often thinks wildly due to anxiety and is not feeling well. If the child makes a fuss, he will become a shameless mother-in-law if he does this again, and his self-confidence will also be affected.
She sat on the edge of the bed and hesitated for a long time. When the other party sent another message, she reached out and took his phone. She wouldn't take his phone for nothing, so she tried the previous password and opened it successfully.
Li Liang: "Are you asleep?"
This sentence is very ambiguous.
Not only that, the other party also sent a link: I will share a funny video with you.
Before Luo Yushu checked the chat history, Ji Huai came out of the bathroom, walked to the closet, and opened the closet: "Honey, where is my blue top?"
There was no sound behind him, so he turned around in confusion.
She was holding his cell phone, her eyes falling on him, her bright eyes staring at him, as if she was desperately trying to hold back some emotion.
Ji Huai: "What's wrong?"
"Li Liang just sent you a message." She said, not missing any expression on his face.
"What did you say?" He didn't take it seriously.
Luo Yushu took a deep breath, but still couldn't control herself, word by word spilled out from between her lips and teeth, "Should I read your chat history?"
She didn't check it immediately just now because she didn't have the courage, and she couldn't bear such a blow now.
"Are you doubting me?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, walked towards her, lowered his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Luo Yushu's face turned pale and she raised her voice: "You are striking first! Are you guilty?!"
As soon as Ji Huai raised his hand, before he made any further move, she thought he was going to grab the phone and quickly hid it behind her back. He smiled directly, put his hand on her cheek, and pinched it gently: "Don't think about it, think about it." Just watch.”
She stared at him for several more times. Seeing that he was too calm and she really didn't want to look at it, she gave him the phone in her hand: "Take it away."
"Do you want to see it but don't have the courage to see it?" Ji Huai frowned, took the phone over, and opened it himself. Seeing the messy things Li Liang posted, he swiped up to look at the record, "She didn't send anything either. After I made a mistake at work last time and was scolded by a customer, I sent out all the things I had after work, so I guess I wanted to work hard."
After he finished speaking, he didn't close the page and gave her the phone again, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy something for the baby? Use my account to buy it. There seems to be more than 3,000 on the card. If you don't have enough, you can overdraw it first." I’ll pay it back next month.”
The two had used all their money to pay off their mortgage and car loan, and now their child was about to be born. She has been buying financial products before, and the two of them now use her account to buy their savings, deposit and withdraw money in lump sums, and save money for their children.
Seeing that he didn't care, Luo Yushu took the phone and casually looked through the chat history. Li Liang sent him more messages, so he responded accordingly.
We were all women, so she knew what she was thinking at a glance, and she meant something: "You are looking for your boss after get off work hours, but you can't find anyone to chat with?"
"I don't know." Ji Huai continued to look for clothes in the closet.
"Just pretend you don't know. Men like to pretend to be stupid." Luo Yushu snorted coldly, got on the bed, and leaned against the bedside. He had no desire to shop.
After Ji Huai found the clothes, he turned to look at her, and then said, "Knowing it or not, it has nothing to do with me."
She pursed her lips and deliberately spoke: "Mom told me today that the foreign daughter-in-law on the second floor is very pitiful. She found out that her husband had cheated on her before she gave birth to the child. As a result, she was in a bad mood. She had heavy bleeding during the birth and did not sit properly during the confinement period. Now people are neither humans nor ghosts, and their bodies are also broken.”
Ji Huai didn't even think about it but said, "Isn't that stupid?"
His words were cold, and Luo Yushu's eyes widened, thinking that he was scolding the out-of-town wife, who was also pregnant with a child. She was so unsympathetic that her heart almost dropped.
"If you want to have fun, don't get married if you haven't had enough. What's the point of getting married? Eat enough to hold on?" Ji Huai put on his pajamas, lifted the quilt and went to bed, and continued, "What will happen to the family just after it is stable? Is that so? People outside are just looking for money or excitement, but you are causing your wife and children to break up. Aren’t you brainless?"
He is a bit selfish, but not ridiculous, and he clearly knows the pros and cons.
Luo Yushu's expression softened a lot when he heard what he said.
"Are you still worried about me cheating?" Ji Huai looked at her and laughed, then stretched out his hand to rub her head. "If the other party is unmarried, she will be scolded at most. But I am different. I have a wife and children, and the family will be separated." My career has just started. If I go through so much trouble, I won’t be able to go long. My wife can betray me. How much trust do I have left? The foundation is not stable, so I will act like a monster? Aren’t you afraid that the building will collapse? "
"What you mean is that it's only after your career is good, right?" Luo Yushu asked.
"What am I trying to do? It's not like my wife isn't good-looking, she has such a good temper, and she loves me so much. She has an elder and a younger one. Why bother? Isn't it troublesome?" Ji Huai continued to laugh and said bluntly, "I just don't love you. , I will also settle this account, not to mention I love you, let alone have other thoughts. There will be temptations, but when you choose to get married, you choose to submit your loyalty."
Luo Yushu looked at him, all anger gone, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
That's pretty much it.
"You have to have the same demands on yourself as I do. We are tied together." He nodded her forehead and said seriously.
Some young men in her company are also interested in her. Even if she gets married, there are still people who covet her.
Luo Yushu nodded vigorously and asked him again: "Do you want her back?"
"I hate bothering me during work hours. Come back tomorrow." Ji Huai pulled up the quilt, fell asleep, and told her, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I got up early today, and my forehead hurts again. "
"Is this it?" She put down the phone, put her slender hand on his temple, and pressed it lightly.
Ji Huai also frowned.
Luo Yushu reached for the essential oil from the bedside table, opened the lid, poured some out, and gently rubbed it on his forehead and temples, pressing it down gently but not heavily.
He moved his body and rested his head on her lap. Luo Yushu continued to hold him down, looking down at him. She has witnessed him come all the way, from childishness to maturity, starting little by little, and now, the two of them have tasted the ups and downs, and the process of getting along has left each other scarred. She really doesn't have the experience and courage to be with another person. A person grows up.
It was difficult before, but now she is living a better life. If she has children in the future, she will probably have to learn how to be a parent. She cannot accept any changes now.
Ji Huai closed his eyes, and she thought he was asleep. He suddenly raised his hand and touched her belly, and the little guy inside kicked her belly. He opened his eyes and said with a curled up corner of his mouth: "It's so late. Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you making a fuss?"
Luo Yushu also chuckled, her eyes becoming gentle.
"Be good, go to sleep." He patted her belly slowly, "Children can't stay up late."
The baby in his belly kicked his palm again, and he became interested. He lowered his head and talked to the baby. He also told a story about some prenatal education. The story was not told well and was made up randomly. Luo Yushu even laughed. Say he lied to the baby.
"It's enough for me to let the baby get familiar with dad's voice." He said confidently.
She didn't refute, but brought the essential oil over again, poured some on his forehead, patiently pressed it on his forehead, and said in a concerned tone: "Don't work too hard, take a proper rest. If you feel too stressed, you can talk to me. Don't hold it in your heart. "
"It's okay." Ji Huai shook his head.
"If you don't tell me, are you going to tell your confidante outside?" She deliberately teased him.
He closed his eyes again and opened his thin lips slightly: "After all, who is still willing to be my confidante? Aren't they just looking at my glamorous appearance and want to get a share of the pie? I look like this now, isn't it quite embarrassing? ?”
How can money be so easy to make? When you get a high salary, you have to endure pressure. You have to go to bed late and get up early. If you are busy and don’t get enough sleep, you may feel dizzy and have a headache.
"Not embarrassed, very handsome." Luo Yushu raised her hand and touched his hair. He had recently cut his hair, and his temples were shaved short, which made it prickly to the touch, but she liked touching his hair, which felt very soft and comfortable.
Ji Huai still didn't open his eyes, moved his body to sleep aside, held her hand and asked her to sleep too.
After she fell asleep, he reached out and turned off the light. The room was dark. He pulled her into his arms, leaned over and kissed her cheek: "You still feel handsome when you are so embarrassed. That's true love."
"Handsome." Luo Yushu affirmed him again, and then said, "How about you go to the gym and apply for a card? You go to exercise after get off work. If you continue like this, it will not be good for your body. Exercise makes people healthy."
Ji Huai: "We'll go together after you give birth."
"Are you waiting for me or do you want to be lazy?" she asked.
"Both." He put his arm around her waist and changed the topic again, "What did you want to buy for the baby? What brand did you look for?"
…
Late at night, the conversation between the two people continued for a long time.
Supporting each other along the way, both parties have a certain understanding, witness each other's growth, love and appreciate each other, this relationship is really rare and valuable.
Luo Yushu felt that she was too sensitive and even apologized to Ji Huai the next day. He didn't care and understood her enough.
Later, his tablet was given to her again, and the phone was still connected, and WeChat and photo albums were synchronized. This person didn't care at all, but there were no secrets on his phone, they were all about work. On the tablet was his shopping account, which she used to buy things for the baby and household supplies.
Ji Huai also works on weekends, and Luo Yushu takes a vacation. She doesn't want him to eat too much takeout, so she will deliver food to him when she is free.
She wore a maternity dress today. After her late pregnancy, she didn't want to take care of her hair, so she cut her mid-length hair. When she arrived at the store, she saw a female employee sizing her up secretly. She knew she was Li Liang without having to guess.
Luo Yushu smiled at her, but the other party was still confused and a little embarrassed.
Ji Huai came out, took the lunch box and held Luo Yushu's hand, and walked into the store.
It was lunch break and everyone was eating or chatting.
Luo Yushu also brought some baked biscuits today and gave them to try.
"You are so handy with your hands. You can still cook and bake biscuits while pregnant with a child." Li Liang said while eating biscuits, looking at Luo Yushu's skin with jealousy in his heart.
The other party's facial features are good. She didn't apply makeup when she was pregnant, and her skin was so smooth. She didn't even wear lipstick, and her lips were rosy and rosy.
It's so hard to be pregnant, and you really have to suffer when you get married.
"The hands are skillful, but she probably didn't do it." Ji Huai came over from the side. He held a bottle of yogurt in his hand, put a straw in it and handed it to Luo Yushu. He supported the table and said, "Ever since she was pregnant, she has become a national treasure. It is rare for her to come and give her a meal."
Everyone present laughed.
Luo Yushu felt that Ji Huai was losing face to her, so she warned him with her eyes, which were fierce and cute.
Ji Huai smiled lightly, walked to her, and gently put his hand on her shoulder: "Did I say something wrong? These are your favorite dishes. Mom must have cooked them for you. If you make too much, bring me some by the way." share."
Luo Yushu: "..."
He guessed correctly. Cai Zhen asked her to deliver it to him because he said it was too much to eat, but she wanted to deliver it to him from the beginning. Today's recipe is very good and she wants him to eat it too.
Ji Huai: "I'll take you back later."
"I can go back by myself," she said.
We arrived quickly by taking the subway. It's not rush hour and there's no one on the subway at all. She was pregnant with a child and not a disabled person. She wanted to go to the supermarket by herself and buy some fruit to squeeze juice.
Ji Huai insisted: "I'm not worried, so I'll send you back."
She couldn't resist him and had to let him. If he gave it to her, she would have to buy a cantaloupe. She wanted to eat the cantaloupe.
Ji Huai was eating, peeling a shrimp, and asked Luo Yushu sideways: "Would you like to eat one?"
"No." She drank yogurt. "I'm full."
Several employees were also chatting with her. Seeing the two people's actions, they were also stuffed with dog food, especially Li Liang, whose expression changed.
A female employee said half-jokingly: "Store manager, my wife is pregnant, and your relationship is still so good. When the child is born in the future, I am afraid that I will wonder if it was an accident."
Luo Yushu was shy, but Ji Huai didn't even think about it: "The relationship between husband and wife is above all other relationships. Children will eventually grow up and stay away from their parents. Aren't we two going to walk slowly together in this life?"
His words were so enlightened that the female employee who just spoke was stunned.
After Ji Huai finished eating, he took Luo Yushu out, holding her waist with his hand, lowering his head to talk to her from time to time, looking attentive and caring.
The employees in the store looked envious: "As expected, handsome people are more dedicated. Now I believe it."
