Zhang Yumei admitted that she was indeed recently captivated by Xu Weiguo's renewed good looks and physique.

but!

She would never admit it, and besides, she's over forty, how could she possibly be pregnant!

Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui sat to the side watching the fun, both covering their mouths and chuckling.

Xu Fang teased, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Our family is well-off. Even if we have two more children, let alone one, my brother can afford to raise them."

Zhang Yumei felt a little uncomfortable after what they said, and said haughtily, "Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going to cook."

Seeing Zhang Yumei walk away, Huang Qinqin whispered to Xu Junhui, "Junhui, you know what, Dad is actually quite handsome now."

Xu Weiguo is over forty years old this year. Although he didn't look old when he was fat.

In the past, people would notice his bloated physique at a glance, and wouldn't care whether he was handsome or not.

But things are different now. After losing weight and with the passage of time, Xu Weiguo is not only handsome but also gives off a particularly calm and reliable vibe.

Huang Qinqin has seen photos of Xu Weiguo when he was young, and compared to the past, she even feels that Xu Weiguo is more attractive now.

Perhaps, if Xu Junhui and Xu Weiguo were to stand up at the same time, some girls would prefer Xu Weiguo.

So you really can't blame Zhang Yumei for being so infatuated with Xu Weiguo.

Xu Junhui nodded in agreement: "I heard my second aunt say that my mother married my father because she liked his looks."

Knock knock knock

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Xu Junhui went to open it without hesitation.

"Dad, Mom, what brings you here? Have you eaten?"

"We haven't eaten yet, but we're cooking at home. I came over to talk to you about something," Chen Zhaodi said with a smile.

As always, Huang Eryuan dutifully served as his tool, pushing the bicycle into the yard and parking it.

As he got closer and saw Xu Weiguo's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Good heavens!"

"My dear in-law, you look at least twenty years younger after losing weight!"

Xu Weiguo straightened his back and said modestly, "It's not that exaggerated, but I do look a few years younger, hahaha."

Because he lost weight, Zhang Yumei's attitude towards him has improved significantly over this period.

Not only would she not give him a hard time, but she would also speak to him gently. She would also often ask him if he had enough pocket money and what dishes he wanted to eat.

When they went to sleep that night, Zhang Yumei took the initiative to cuddle with him, something she hadn't done in a long time. This brought back memories of his youth for Xu Weiguo, making him feel as if he and Zhang Yumei had returned to the time when they were newly married.

Recently, they have resumed their sweet and loving newlywed life.

If Xu Weiguo had known earlier that weight loss had this effect, he would have started losing weight a long time ago, instead of waiting until now.

When Chen Zhaodi saw Xu Weiguo, she almost didn't recognize him, but her attention quickly shifted to Huang Qinqin.

She looked at Huang Qinqin with some heartache and gently touched her face: "Daughter, have you not had a good appetite lately? I feel like you're getting thinner and thinner."

"Is there anything you'd like to eat? Tell Mom, and Mom will cook it and have your dad bring it over for you."

Huang Qinqin is almost eight months pregnant now, and she went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup a few days ago.

The doctor said that she could give birth at any time after mid-January, so they should prepare in advance.

Huang Qinqin's belly is now swollen like an inflated balloon. Although Huang Qinqin's limbs were originally slender, her face was still a bit fleshy, so she didn't look too scary.

However, in the last few days, Huang Qinqin has started to lose her appetite, or rather, she can't eat much.

Huang Qinqin was already very tired after becoming pregnant, and she hasn't been able to eat much these past few days.

As a result, Huang Qinqin lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Her already slender limbs now looked like nothing but skin and bones.

Her once chubby face has become even thinner, transforming from an oval face into a V-shaped face.

Huang Qinqin now has a small, delicate face and slender limbs, which, combined with her round pregnant belly, make her look incredibly pitiful.

Huang Qinqin was afraid that Chen Zhaodi would misunderstand and think that Xu Junhui hadn't taken good care of himself, so she held Chen Zhaodi's hand and explained softly.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry. Junhui already went to see the doctor a couple of days ago."

"The doctor said it's because the babies are developing well, causing them to press against my stomach."

"That's why I feel uncomfortable after eating even a little bit, just like how I often feel the urge to urinate now; it's an unavoidable reaction."

"And I officially completed the procedures at the department store yesterday, and I'm starting my maternity leave today. It'll be fine after I give birth."

After speaking, Huang Qinqin leaned gently against Chen Zhaodi's chest and continued speaking with a hint of dependence.

"When I'm in postpartum confinement, Mom will cook more pig's feet with ginger for me."

"Then you can fatten me up and make me plump again!"

When Chen Zhaodi saw Huang Qinqin comforting her, no matter how heartbroken she felt, she smiled at her.

"Okay, as many pig's feet with ginger as you want, Mom will cook them for you. I guarantee you'll grow up plump and healthy."

Although she felt sorry for her, Chen Zhaodi still had to give her the necessary advice.

"Honey, even though Mom knows you must be feeling really bad right now, you still need to exercise every day, okay?"

"Let's just tough it out for these last two months, then we can finally get some rest."

Huang Qinqin nodded obediently in Chen Zhaodi's arms.

Hearing Chen Zhaodi's voice from inside the kitchen, Zhang Yumei quickly wiped her hands and came out.

"My dear in-law, what brings you here today? Why don't you stay for dinner?"

Chen Zhaodi then remembered that they had come here today for important business, which she had forgotten after seeing Huang Qinqin.

She helped Huang Qinqin up and let her sit down on her own, then replied, "No need, in-laws, we won't stay for dinner. We've already started cooking at home."

"I'm here today to deliver invitations to you. Jianjun will be having his banquet next month."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yumei quickly congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations, my dear in-law! Now that Jianjun is married, you're finally free!"

"At least I don't have to worry about my children's marriages anymore, unlike me, who still has a young child."

"It's all luck. You have no idea how much trouble I had a few years ago, hahaha."

As Chen Zhaodi spoke, she patted Huang Eryuan, wanting him to take out the invitation.

As a result, Huang Eryuan was so engrossed in his conversation with Xu Weiguo that he didn't notice Chen Zhaodi filming him.

Bang!

Chen Zhaodi thought she hadn't gotten a shot, so she kept moving her body to take pictures of him, and then she fell down.

Ouch! My butt!
