Chapter 272 I'll Be With You

When Qu Jianhang learned of this news, he was both happy and worried.

After all, even if they have fun while traveling, they must be tired.

She was afraid that Lin Xiyin's body couldn't take it.

After learning that she had been to the hospital for a check-up and that the minor bleeding was not a big problem, she finally felt relieved.

Lin Youxing was also very excited to know that his mother was pregnant. Looking at Lin Xiyin's belly, he asked, "Mom, will it definitely be a little sister?"

Well, that's hard to say.

Pei Muye replied, "It must be the younger sister."

Lin Xiyin glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense."

“How could I say something wrong?” Pei Muye said, “It’s definitely the younger sister.”

Lin Xiyin was too lazy to correct him.

She rested for a day after returning home, and went to see Xiao Ruoyi the next day.

Xiao Ruoyi hasn't changed much; she's still so thin, but she seems to be in good spirits.

When she learned that Lin Xiyin was pregnant, she was overjoyed and brought up the matter of their childhood betrothal again.

"My first pregnancy was two boys, so this second one gives me hope," Xiao Ruoyi said. "You can't possibly have two sons, can you?"

"I hope not."

Lin Xiyin herself definitely wanted a daughter, to make a perfect family.

“However, if it’s a son, there’s nothing I can do,” she said. “I can’t make that decision.”

"It's fine," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Don't think too much about it. We'd love it if it's a daughter, and we'd be happy if it's a son."

"Mmm." Lin Xiyin took her hand: "Why are you still so thin? Have you not been eating properly?"

“How could that be?” Xiao Ruoyi said, “You know I’ve always wanted to lose weight.”

"You've gotten so thin, why are you trying to lose weight?" Lin Xiyin frowned. "Won't Attorney Huo feel sorry for you when he wakes up and sees you like this?"

“What is he worried about?” Xiao Ruoyi said, “His inability to wake up is just torturing me. If he cared about me, he would have woken up long ago.”

Lin Xiyin couldn't help but hug her again: "Yiyi, you've worked so hard."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Ruoyi, afraid that she would worry, comforted her instead: "To be honest, I'm used to it. He used to make me angry all the time, but now it's peaceful when he lies down."

Lin Xiyin laughed in exasperation: "When has anyone ever made you angry?"

“Of course I have.” Xiao Ruoyi smiled as well: “I just didn’t tell you.”

"I think if Attorney Huo is awake, it's because you've angered him. You're just twisting the truth."

"Then I'll make him angry more often in the future, maybe he'll wake up."

In the end, Lin Xiyin still felt sorry for her: "Yiyi, it's been so long, except for attending my wedding, you've been staying at the hospital all the time. It's too hard for you."

Xiao Ruoyi said, "It's not hard at all. I didn't do much. Compared to other sick people, I don't have to worry about making money, and I don't have to worry about massage therapy. Ruan Ruan, I'm very content."

Xiao Ruoyi wasn't like this before.

Lin Xiyin knew that Huo Xianyang's injury had been a huge blow to her.

But she can't fall down.

Because Huo Xianyang still needs her.

Lin Xiyin felt extremely distressed, but she really didn't know what she could do.

She could only change the subject: "How is Tuantuan? I'd like to go see him this afternoon."

Xiao Ruoyi said, "He's eating and sleeping well, so there's no need to visit him. He doesn't recognize people anyway."

"But I bought a gift for Tuantuan."

During her recent trip, she bought quite a few local specialties.

Tuantuan has everything: clothes, shoes, toys.

"What gift do you need? We already have everything at home."

They both treated each other like family and didn't stand on ceremony; Xiao Ruoyi was telling the truth.

A person who previously said they wouldn't get married suddenly had a baby, and both sets of elders doted on the child like the apple of their eye.

Huo Xianyang and Xiao Ruoyi are currently in the hospital. Although their parents are not by their side, there are about seven or eight people taking care of Huo Huaijing.

She was truly the apple of her eye.

That's why Xiao Ruoyi wasn't worried at all.

Xiao Ruoyi changed the subject again: "You're pregnant now, are you able to go to work normally?"

“Sure,” Lin Xiyin said. “You’ve forgotten that when I was pregnant with Youyou, I worked until I was almost due.”

“Nobody cared about you back then,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I don’t think Pei Muyi would necessarily agree.”

After she said that, Lin Xiyin really started to worry.

Not long after she arrived at the hospital, Pei Muye came to pick her up.

Lin Xiyin wanted to stay with Xiao Ruoyi a little longer, but Xiao Ruoyi wouldn't let her stay in the hospital.

Pei Muye felt the same way.

No matter what, this is a hospital, there are many people, and many of them are sick. If Lin Xiyin catches a cold, she will feel terrible.

On the way back, Lin Xiyin asked him directly, "I'll go back to work after two days of rest."

Pei Muye was just about to talk to her about this topic.

With Qu Jianhang's support, Pei Muye felt much more confident.

He said directly, "The doctor told you to go back for a follow-up check-up in a week."

“I know,” Lin Xiyin said. “I’ll just go for a follow-up check-up later. I asked the doctor the other day, and they have staff on duty at night.”

“What I mean is…” Pei Muye said, “Don’t go to school these next few days. The doctor said you should rest well and not overwork yourself.”

"I will make sure to rest when I get to school, and I won't let myself get too tired."

"Yinyin..."

"Oh dear, let's talk about it when we get home!" Lin Xiyin looked out the car window. "Hurry up, Yiyi said that hot and sour noodles place is really good."

Yes, Xiao Ruoyi recommended the hot and sour noodles she ate during her pregnancy.

Lin Xiyin's mouth watered upon hearing this.

She really wanted to eat it.

Pei Muye was actually reluctant to let her eat those things, but obviously, you can't reason with a pregnant woman.

Sure enough, the hot and sour noodles stall turned out to be a mobile vendor without even a shop.

The hot and sour noodles were ready, and Lin Xiyin held them up, eagerly picking out a few strands and bringing them over: "Do you want some?"

Pei Muye looked at the layer of red oil on top and couldn't help but wonder what it was made of.

He shook his head: "I won't eat, and you should eat less too..."

Hearing that he didn't want to eat it, Lin Xiyin immediately stuffed it into her mouth.

It was both sour and spicy, and it was really satisfying.

Pei Muye watched from the side, wiping her mouth from time to time, wishing she would say she wouldn't eat anymore at any moment.

But Lin Xiyin finished the bowl and even wanted to drink a few more sips of soup.

Pei Muyi quickly took it away for her: "It's all low-quality oil, you can't drink it!"

Lin Xiyin, still wanting more, said, "I'd like to have another serving."

"You can't eat this anymore." Pei Muye threw the food into the trash can and coaxed her, "How about I take you to that private kitchen restaurant?"

"I don't want to eat," Lin Xiyin said. "I just want something sour and spicy."

"People say sour foods indicate a boy and spicy foods indicate a girl. Is yours a boy or a girl?"

"Don't you like him anymore if he's a son?"

Pei Muye embraced her and walked forward: "How could I not like it? I like anything that comes out of your belly."

After finally coaxing the person into the car, Pei Muyi said, "You like this, how about we have someone make it at home next time?"

Lin Xiyin shook her head: "You don't understand, this is the taste we're after. It's different when we make it at home."

Pei Muye stopped discussing this with her and asked, "Can't I ask for leave from school?"

"You don't need to ask for leave anymore."

The topic has come back to us.

Pei Muye brought out his savior: "I discussed it with Mom, and she also thinks you shouldn't go. We'll wait until the check-up in a week."

Lin Xiyin said, "I will tell Mom."

Pei Muyi dared not say anything more and could only place all his hopes on Qu Jianhang.

Qu Jianhang loved his daughter dearly, and they hadn't even acknowledged each other when Lin Xiyin became pregnant for the first time.

Now that Lin Xiyin is pregnant, Qu Jianhang wishes he could stop everything he's doing and focus all his attention on her.

When the two returned, she couldn't help but feel anxious when she heard that Lin Xiyin insisted on going to work.

She led the person to Lin Youxing's toy room.

Lin Xiyin, seeing her acting mysteriously, was puzzled: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Ruanruan, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but your health is the most important thing. Now that you're pregnant, things are different from before, yet you still insist on going to work. Have you considered Muye's feelings?"

Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "Ah, I'm fine. I asked the doctor, and he said as long as I don't overexert myself, it's okay."

"It's better to be safe than sorry," Lin Xiyin said. "Think about it, if nothing happens, everything will be fine. But what if... something goes wrong with the child? Won't you regret it? It will be too late to regret it then."

"But……"

"No buts," Qu Jianhang said. "It's just a week. The school won't close down if you don't go for a week. Remember, the world will keep turning no matter who's missing."

"Mom, I know..."

"It's good that you know," Qu Jianhang continued. "Anyway, you should take leave if you need to and rest at home for the next few days. I wasn't there when you gave birth to Youyou, so I couldn't take care of you. But this time, Mom will definitely be there to watch over you."

Lin Xiyin had a terrible headache.

She returned to her dormitory, collapsed onto her bed, and sighed repeatedly.

Pei Muye was secretly pleased, but pretended not to know anything.

He knelt down beside her and asked, "Honey, what's wrong? Does Mom need to see you?"

Lin Xiyin glanced at him: "Isn't this all a conspiracy between the two of you?"

Pei Muyi hurriedly said, "I'm innocent! What did I conspire for?"

"It must be you who told Mom not to let me go to work."

"Absolutely not!"

Pei Muyi was practically ready to raise his hand and swear an oath.

Lin Xiyin said, "Since it wasn't you, then go tell Mom to let me go to work."

"Do you think I have the guts?" Pei Muye said, "I'm already thankful that my mother doesn't care about me, how could I dare to order her around?"

"you……"

Lin Xiyin thought about it and realized that it made sense. Since they started living together, Pei Muyi had been very respectful to the two elders.

It's impossible to expect him to refute Qu Jianhang.

Lin Xiyin herself didn't want to hurt Qu Jianhang.

It seems that taking leave is the only option left.

She tilted her head and saw Pei Muye's lips curl up in a smile, secretly laughing to himself.

"You're still laughing!"

Pei Muyi was surprised to be seen by her and quickly changed his expression: "I didn't mean anything by it. If you don't go to school, I won't go to the company either, okay?"

"Go away," Lin Xiyin said. "How long has it been since you went to work? Do you want to be a stay-at-home dad in the future?"

“Why not?” Pei Muye said. “I earn so much money so I can do whatever I want.”

"You actually have this idea?" Lin Xiyin looked at him in shock. "Haven't you always prioritized your career?"
