"Yeah, it moved, auntie, he kicked my hand." Huo Qianning shouted excitedly.
Huo Qianning likes Shu Xin very much and sticks to her every time she comes back, especially now that Shu Xin has a big belly. Her bright eyes are full of curiosity about unknown things. She has been sitting next to Shu Xin since she came here, and her little hands touch Shu Xin's belly from time to time. .
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by Huo Qianning's voice.
Then the topic shifted from Jian Xi to Shu Xin.
Huo Xiangwei asked: "Xin'er, have you ever gone to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant with a boy, a girl, or twins?"
Shu Xin shook his head, "No."
Huo Xiangwei, "Why don't you check it out? You should be prepared if you know it in advance. Dr. Ji is the Huo family's family doctor. It's just a matter of words for you to go and check it out."
Shu Xin smiled and gently stroked her bulging belly with her hand, "It would be a surprise if we didn't check."
Qiao Ling nodded in agreement, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all the Huo family's treasures."
"That's right, as long as it's Xin'er's child, even if it's just a cat, Yan Qing will treat it as a treasure." Huo Xiangwei smiled.
Gu Wenbo pinched his wife's shoulder, "How could you talk like that?"
"I'm just making an analogy. Yan Qing spoils her heart to the heavens and the earth. Who in Fancheng doesn't know that?" Huo Xiangwei gave Gu Wenbo an angry look.
"That's true." Qiao Ling agreed with a smile, "Before, when Yan Qing didn't know Xin'er, her mother said that he was cold-tempered and didn't know how to care for others. She was worried that he would not be able to find a wife in this life. Who would have thought that Yan Qing would be so caring? It’s outrageous for my wife to come.”
"Yes, yes, Xin'er, why don't you tell me how you conquered the iceberg of our family? And you made him obey you." Huo Xiangwei had a teasing smile in her eyes, as if she was asking for advice humbly.
Shu Xin was embarrassed by what they said, and her face turned red. Just when she was about to say something, Jian Xi suddenly stood up from the sofa, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready?"
"Sister-in-law, why are you in a hurry? Mother Yun will call us when dinner is ready, not to mention that Yanqing hasn't come back yet? We haven't seen each other for so many years, let's sit down and chat for a while," Huo Xiangwei said.
"I'm old, and I can't get involved in your romantic topics." Jian Xi smiled lightly and turned to the kitchen.
Qiao Ling was more attentive and said, "Maybe the topic we talked about reminded my sister-in-law of my eldest brother. My eldest brother and my sister-in-law used to be famous for their love."
Huo Xiangwei blamed herself, "It's my fault for ignoring my sister-in-law's feelings."
The lively atmosphere suddenly became dull because of the mention of Huo Yanlin.
Shu Xin couldn't explain how she felt. She didn't know if she was overthinking it. She always felt that Jian Xi really didn't like her, but she couldn't figure out why
Not long after, Huo Yanqing came back and dinner was ready. Huo Qianning went upstairs and asked Yao Huiqin to come down for dinner. Yao Huiqin had been pestering Jian Xi to talk all day. After Huo Xiangwei and the others came, they didn't chat for long because they were tired. Then he went upstairs to rest.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, but Huo Xiangwei and the others never talked about Huo Yanqing and Shu Xin's relationship for fear of making Jian Xi sad.
Huo Yanqing noticed that Shu Xin was a little absent-minded. He tilted his head and asked softly in her ear, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
Shu Xin raised her eyes and glanced at Jian Xi across from her. She was picking vegetables into Huo Jibai's bowl next to her. Shu Xin shook her head, "No, it's pretty good."
Huo Yanqing followed Shu Xin's gaze and glanced at Jian Xi. There was a hint of darkness in his dark eyes. When he turned to look at Shu Xin, there was only a doting smile in his eyes, "Then eat more."
