Chapter 273 Heartache

In Lin Xiyin's view, Pei Muyi always prioritized work.

Before the two divorced, he would leave early and return late every day, and business trips were a regular occurrence for him.

Now they've changed their minds.

Pei Muye said, "Haven't I earned enough money? I should take a break."

Lin Xiyin didn't know what to say.

In the end, Lin Xiyin was defeated by the two of them and asked the school for a few more days off.

Pei Muye's original intention was to let Lin Xiyin rest, and he would stay at home with her.

As a result, Lin Xiyin either went to the hospital to see Xiao Ruoyi or to see Huo Huaijing.

Or he goes on a date with Qu Jingyou.

She's pregnant, and she just can't stay still.

The good news is that her bleeding has almost stopped.

The doctor said it was a minor issue, and that some medicine and a few days of rest would fix it.

Pei Muye was on high alert, fearing that something might happen to Lin Xiyin.

Lin Xiyin told him not to be so nervous.

He looked aggrieved: "I had no experience. Who told you to go abroad without telling me back then, and even said you had a miscarriage? Do you know how heartbroken I was..."

The two of them had already clearly explained what had happened in the past.

He also occasionally uses this to elicit sympathy.

But Lin Xiyin really felt sorry for him.

There's no way around it; if you put yourself in her shoes, if she were the one who was abandoned by Pei Muye, who didn't even want her child, she would be heartbroken.

It's truly remarkable that the two of them have managed to reconcile.

But Pei Muye's manipulation of her was genuine.

He said a few words, and she felt sorry for him.

"Actually, it's nothing. Back then, when I was abroad, my life was the same whether I was pregnant or not," Lin Xiyin explained. "In the end, Youyou was really well-behaved when she was in my belly."

Pei Muye said, "If he misbehaves, we'll spank him when he comes out."

He regretted it after he finished speaking and started talking about Lin Xiyin's stomach.

"Daddy didn't mean anything by it, he just wants you to be a good boy and not make Mommy sad, okay?"

Seeing his careful, ingratiating manner, Lin Xiyin couldn't help but laugh.

"With your attitude, how can I trust you? And spanking? I don't think I can count on that."

Pei Muye said, "You know, girls are meant to be pampered. If you have a daughter, of course you can't hit her."

"That boy can fight?"

"We'll see," Pei Muye said. "Or are you going to hit me?"

Lin Xiyin was speechless: "If you spoil the child like this, there will be problems later."

“Then what can I do?” Pei Muye said, “As long as I think about how you carried him for ten months and gave birth to him, how he is a piece of your flesh, I can’t bear to part with anything.”

Lin Xiyin couldn't say anything, she could only hug him and lean against him.

A week passed quickly, and it was time for Lin Xiyin's follow-up examination.

In fact, according to Pei Muyi's thinking, let alone during pregnancy, he didn't want Lin Xiyin to go to work even at other times.

Or perhaps he simply didn't want to go to the company anymore.

Perhaps it's because I've reached a certain age and don't have that strong ambition anymore.

What he longed for was a simple, warm, ordinary family life, spending time with Lin Xiyin, enjoying each other's company.

Two people might get tired of each other after being together for a long time.

But Pei Muye really longed for such a life.

The ten-odd days of their honeymoon felt stolen; it was too short, and he didn't get enough of it.

Then I came back.

If the test results are all good, then Lin Xiyin will go back to work at the school.

Pei Muye even had an impulse to team up with the doctor to deceive Lin Xiyin.

In the end, I didn't dare.

If Lin Xiyin found out, she might be very angry.

Sure enough, Lin Xiyin's test results were all normal.

From now on, all you need to do is attend your prenatal checkups on time.

Pei Muye asked from the side, "Can she go to work normally? She can't overwork herself, right? Wouldn't it be best for her to rest at home?"

He thought the doctor could understand his unspoken message.

The doctor said, "You can go to work, but you definitely shouldn't overwork yourself. But staying home all the time isn't good for pregnant women either. You need to balance work and rest, and you should find the right balance based on your own physical condition."

Saying it is the same as not saying it at all.

But Lin Xiyin understood: "Of course I can go to work! I definitely won't let myself get too tired. Besides, I've been pregnant before, so I have experience!"

What else could Pei Muye say?

So we had no choice but to send her to school.

However, the two had agreed that Pei Muye would be responsible for picking up and dropping off Lin Xiyin whenever she went out.

Lin Xiyin had no choice but to agree.

On the first day back to work after the wedding, Pei Muyi specially escorted Lin Xiyin to the office door, where they ran into Wu Xinyue and Li Xingzhi.

"elder sister!"

Wu Xinyue still calls her that.

More than twenty days have passed since the wedding. Although they have kept in touch by phone, Wu Xinyue still couldn't help but feel happy to see the person in person.

She's obsessed with looks; she's happy just to see Lin Xiyin's face.

Li Xingzhi could no longer call her "sister," so he simply nodded slightly and said nothing.

After a few pleasantries, Pei Muye said, "Yinyin isn't feeling well, so I'll trouble you to take good care of her."

"Huh?" Wu Xinyue looked at her immediately: "Sister, what's wrong? If you're not feeling well, why didn't you take a few more days off?"

Li Xingzhi was also present, so Lin Xiyin didn't say much.

She smiled at Wu Xinyue, then looked at Pei Muye: "You should go back first."

Pei Muye said, "Then call me if you need anything, and I'll come over at noon."

"good."

After Pei Muyi left, Wu Xinyue realized something was wrong: "Brother-in-law, why are you so worried? Did you have something to do at noon? What's wrong with your health?"

After Li Xingzhi walked away, Lin Xiyin said, "I'm pregnant."

Wu Xinyue's eyes widened immediately: "Really?"

Lin Xiyin nodded.

Wu Xinyue was incredibly excited: "Ahhhhh, you said you wanted a second child before, I didn't expect it to be so soon!"

After she calmed down, Lin Xiyin said, "Don't tell anyone yet, the baby is still very young."

"Mmm, I won't tell anyone." Wu Xinyue came back to her senses and then said, "Then why did your brother-in-law say you weren't feeling well?"

"It's nothing, he's just worried about me getting tired."

"Then you should do less!" Wu Xinyue quickly said, "Leave everything to me!"

How could Lin Xiyin possibly entrust everything to her?

But she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make sure to get some rest."

"Can I tell Li Xingzhi?"

After all, Li Xingzhi's research direction was the same as Lin Xiyin's, and while Lin Xiyin did a lot of work, Li Xingzhi did even more.

Lin Xiyin nodded: "Then tell him secretly."

After Li Xingzhi found out, he congratulated Lin Xiyin on his mobile phone.

He didn't say anything else, but afterwards he took on almost all the work, and Lin Xiyin felt that she was too idle.

Actually, when she was pregnant four years ago, everyone took good care of her.

But no matter what, she lives alone.

Most of the time, she lives alone.

She was truly fortunate that she didn't experience any pregnancy symptoms during that pregnancy, and her entire pregnancy was peaceful and comfortable.

She hopes that this time will be the same.

But clearly, not every pregnancy is smooth sailing.

One morning, Lin Xiyin felt nauseous when she woke up.

But after brushing my teeth, the feeling subsided somewhat.

As a result, when I smelled the seafood porridge while eating, I felt a little uncomfortable.

She felt nauseous, but couldn't vomit.

Pei Muyi was very nervous standing next to her, but Lin Xiyin didn't want him to worry, so she ate two small steamed buns in the end.

I didn't feel well when I got to school; something was churning in my stomach.

I feel nauseous, but I can't vomit.

Moreover, she seemed listless and lacked energy. Even when she forced herself to do something, she always felt uncomfortable.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before when she was pregnant with Lin Youxing.

She thought it would disappear in a day or two, but she had this feeling for several days in a row.

It's so painful.

It's subtle and not very powerful, but it just makes people feel listless.

On the fourth day, Lin Xiyin could no longer hold on.

She really puts in a lot of effort to go to school every day, and she is radiant both physically and mentally.

In the end, I couldn't resist and asked the school for leave.

It was Friday, so I took a day off. With Saturday and Sunday included, I can rest for three days.

Lin Xiyin could only pray that three days would pass and she would return to normal.

After all, she hadn't experienced any discomfort during her previous pregnancies.

What exactly happened this time?

I can eat and sleep without any problems, and my mood is even better than it was four years ago, so why am I feeling so bad?

She searched online but couldn't find any definitive answers.

But she also knows that the physical condition may be different for each pregnancy.

She didn't feel anything when she was pregnant with Lin Youxing, possibly because she was young and in good physical condition at the time.

But she felt that she wasn't old at all, and was still in the prime of a woman's reproductive years.

She is in good health.

Ultimately, it comes down to hormone secretion.

During her three-day break, she didn't go anywhere, and she refused Qu Jingyou's invitations.

I'm just lying at home.

Sometimes I can fall asleep, but most of the time I do nothing and just lie there.

She took leave, so Pei Muyi couldn't possibly go to the company.

He wanted to stay with Lin Xiyin.

But Lin Xiyin kicked him out of the bedroom.

She didn't want to see him.

I felt unwell both mentally and physically, and seeing Pei Muye made me feel inexplicably wronged.

It's better to be alone for peace and quiet.

But her behavior made Pei Muye very worried.

Lin Xiyin kicked him out of the bedroom, and he didn't dare to go back in rashly, but he was also worried about letting him go anywhere else.

Seeing him like this, Qu Jianhang couldn't help but comfort him, "Yinyin, it's okay. Women get pregnant, and sometimes their emotions can become strange. Don't overthink it."

"But wouldn't it be better for me to be by her side right now?"

Qu Jianhang said, "Sometimes she needs it, sometimes she doesn't. She won't be polite to you, so don't overthink it."

"But……"

"Alright." Qu Jianhang patted his shoulder: "I promise you, Yinyin will be fine. Why don't you go and take care of your work first, so that when Yinyin wants you to spend time with her, you'll have time."

Pei Muye had no choice but to comply.

For two consecutive days, Lin Xiyin was listless and dispirited.

Pei Muye saw that she was staying in the bedroom and thought about taking her out for a walk, but she refused.

Pei Muyi couldn't resist any longer and went into the bedroom. He found that she hadn't turned on the light. In the dim environment, with the help of a little light from the doorway, he saw her lying on the bed, silently looking out the window.

Pei Muye felt a pang of heartache.

He strode over and squatted down beside the bed.
