Chapter 274 Men are meant to be bossed around.

"Wife," he called softly, unable to resist reaching out to touch her face. "Baby, where does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?"

Lin Xiyin felt a tightness in her chest and her stomach was churning.

I feel nauseous but can't vomit, and I don't want to eat anything.

But she knew that this was actually a normal reaction during pregnancy.

There's no need to go to the hospital.

But it really does affect your mood.

She said, "I'm fine. This is normal during pregnancy. Going to the hospital won't help."

"What should we do?" Pei Muye was both anxious and distressed. "What can I do? Yinyin, tell me, what can I do to make you happy?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiyin shook her head and held his hand: "Don't be like this, I'm fine, I just feel tired and don't want to move."

"What would you like to eat?" Pei Muyi asked. "Hot and sour noodles?"

He no longer restricts what she eats; as long as she likes it, anything is fine with her.

Lin Xiyin shook her head again.

Before Pei Muyi could say anything more, Lin Xiyin had already closed her eyes, looking very tired.

Pei Muyi had no choice but to leave the bedroom and stay in the study for a while. He wanted to smoke, but he refrained from doing so.

Finally, he called Xiao Ruoyi.

If Huo Xianyang were awake, he would definitely contact Huo Xianyang.

Huo Xianyang knew about Xiao Ruoyi's pregnancy at that time.

But Huo Xianyang is currently unconscious, so he can only contact Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi answered the phone and asked him directly, "Why are you calling me? How's Ruan Ruan doing these past few days?"

“I was just about to tell you about her,” Pei Muye sighed.

"She hasn't had a good appetite these past two days, and she eats very reluctantly."

"I didn't throw up."

"I went for a checkup, and everything is normal."

"She was in a bad mood, and she seemed annoyed just seeing me."

"I don't want to talk, and I don't want to go out and see anyone."

She said she had no energy and didn't want to do anything.

After explaining Lin Xiyin's situation, Pei Muyi sighed and said, "I don't know what to do."

In Xiao Ruoyi's eyes, although she didn't like Pei Muye before, she always thought of him as a man who was upright and capable of anything.

But today, his voice was filled with frustration and helplessness.

He said, "I don't know what to do."

Xiao Ruoyi thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, these are all normal reactions during pregnancy. I also had a few days like this before my morning sickness got really bad..."

Pei Muyi immediately became anxious: "She won't vomit as badly as you, will she?"

"Probably not," Xiao Ruoyi said. "The doctor said that someone like me might not even get one in many years."

But even after she said that, Pei Muye didn't relax much.

Xiao Ruoyi continued, "Don't overthink it. A woman's hormone levels are different when she's pregnant. She's annoyed by you because you're the closest person to her. She can't take her anger out on an elder, can she?"

That's what he said, and he understands the logic, but he still feels upset.

Because he didn't want Lin Xiyin to suffer so much.

"Then what can I do?"

“It seems… there’s nothing you can do, you can’t get pregnant for her,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “But you should still care about her and spend time with her when she’s in a good mood. You know about postpartum depression, right? Often, postpartum depression actually has signs during pregnancy.”

Pei Muye was terrified: "Don't scare me!"

"I'm not trying to scare you, but you should pay more attention to her." Xiao Ruoyi glanced at the person on the bed: "Never mind, I'll go check on her."

“You don’t need to come over,” Pei Muyi said hurriedly. “I’ll call you if anything happens.”

Xiao Ruoyi was still worried: "It's okay, I can leave here for an hour or two."

"Then I'll ask Yinyin, maybe I should ask her to come to you. I also want her to go out for a walk."

"Alright, then ask her. We'll meet at the coffee shop outside the hospital. Don't let her come to the hospital."

"good."

Pei Muye hung up the phone, feeling a little more confident.

He had never seen any other pregnant women, but from what Xiao Ruoyi said, he figured that every pregnant woman would probably experience emotional fluctuations.

He then tiptoed into the bedroom.

Lin Xiyin just lay there, and when she saw him coming, she didn't say anything.

“Yinyin,” Pei Muyi sat down on the edge of the bed and said softly, “Xiao Ruoyi just called and said she wanted to come see you.”

"No need," Lin Xiyin quickly said, "She can't leave her side, and I'm fine too."

"Shall we go see her? You haven't been there for several days."

Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and nodded: "Then let's go tomorrow morning."

After talking to her, Pei Muyi arranged a time and place with Xiao Ruoyi.

When they went to sleep at night, Pei Muye wanted to hold her.

Lin Xiyin moved to the side: "Don't touch me, I feel like your hand is too heavy on me."

Not to mention Pei Muyi's hands, even the blanket on her body felt uncomfortable, so she lay on her side so that it wouldn't press on her chest and she could breathe more easily.

Pei Muyi felt a little disappointed, but what he was most worried about was Lin Xiyin's situation.

Lin Xiyin wouldn't let him touch her, so he could only obediently lie to the side.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard Lin Xiyin's breathing become long and even.

She fell asleep.

Pei Muye quietly took her hand and closed his eyes.

He just couldn't fall asleep for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiyin turned over and snuggled into his arms.

Pei Muye instinctively wanted to hug her, but in the end he clenched his fists and placed them at his side.

But their bodies were still close together, and they fell asleep just like that.

The next day was Sunday. Lin Xiyin woke up feeling nauseous and didn't want to eat anything.

After washing up, I managed to eat half an apple.

Pei Muye was anxious but dared not say anything.

It was almost time, so the two went out together to keep their appointment.

On the way, he said to Lin Xiyin, "I'll drop you off later. I happen to be signing a contract nearby, and I'll come pick you up then."

"good."

Lin Xiyin was listless and lacked energy; she spoke concisely and to the point.

He took Lin Xiyin to the coffee shop and saw Xiao Ruoyi with his own eyes before he felt at ease handing her over to her.

After he left, Xiao Ruoyi pulled Lin Xiyin to sit down; "Pei Muye treats you like a child. Did you see the look in his eyes just now? He looked so worried."

"No way."

Lin Xiyin smiled when she saw Xiao Ruoyi.

The two sat down, and Lin Xiyin asked her first, "How is Attorney Huo?"

"The usual," Xiao Ruoyi said. "The masseuse is giving him a massage, and I just came out to get some fresh air."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yiyi."

"It's alright," Xiao Ruoyi said. "But for you, pregnancy is really tough."

“Compared to you, I’m much better off,” Lin Xiyin said. “I can’t even bear to think about the suffering you went through back then.”

"People say that once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten, and it's really true. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal anymore. It's just a few months; I can grit my teeth and get through it."

Lin Xiyin smiled.

Xiao Ruoyi held her hand: "Yinyin, I know you're not feeling well right now. You're carrying two people now, so you need to vent any negative emotions you have. You're the queen now, your words are law. Don't think about not troubling others. You only had this child because of Pei Muyi, so why shouldn't you bother him?"

Lin Xiyin's smile widened: "I know."

"What do you know?" Xiao Ruoyi scolded her, "Don't I know your temper? You'd rather suffer yourself than let your man be upset."

"I didn't either..."

"Don't try to deny it," Xiao Ruoyi asked. "Then let me ask you, have you ever been unreasonable with him? Have you ever thrown a tantrum? Have you ever acted shamelessly? Have you?"

Lin Xiyin would never do something like that.

Xiao Ruoyi knew the answer from her expression: "So, keeping your emotions bottled up inside isn't good for the child. Listen to me, if you need to discipline him, discipline him, understand?"

"It's fine if I'm the only one suffering, but wouldn't it be even more painful if two people were suffering together?"

"Having a child is a matter for two people. Why should you bear all the pain alone?" Xiao Ruoyi looked at her with exasperation: "Are you stupid?"

Lin Xiyin felt that she was being a bit silly.

Xiao Ruoyi added, "Besides, Pei Muyi is actually worried about you. If you vent your emotions, hit him, or scold him, he'll feel better."

"Oh, I see."

“Don’t just say you know, you have to do it,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “Call him now and tell him… tell him to go buy you some food.”

"He went to sign the contract..."

"What contract is more important than you?"

"That's the important matter..."

"Isn't this important?" Xiao Ruoyi shoved the phone into her hand: "Call now!"

Lin Xiyin said again, "But I don't want to eat anything."

“Maybe he’ll want to eat it as soon as he buys it,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “It’s okay if he doesn’t want to eat it. When he comes, I’ll tell him.”

Helpless, Lin Xiyin had no choice but to call Pei Muye.

Pei Muye didn't try to comfort her; he genuinely had an appointment to meet someone.

I had just sat down at the coffee shop when my phone rang.

After apologizing to the other party, Pei Muye answered the phone.

Lin Xiyin said, "I want to eat hot and sour noodles."

"Now?" Pei Muyi was both happy and worried. "You just want to eat this? Do you want to eat something else?"

"I want to eat this. Go and buy it for me." Lin Xiyin said, "Go and buy it."

"Okay, I'll go buy it."

Pei Muye apologized to the other party after hanging up the phone.

The other party hurriedly said it was alright, and Pei Muye left in a hurry.

Lin Xiyin hung up the phone, and Xiao Ruoyi said, "That's more like it. Men are meant to be bossed around."

The two continued chatting, and Pei Muyi ran off to buy hot and sour noodles, then rushed back. More than half an hour passed just like that.

Lin Xiyin had no intention of eating hot and sour noodles at someone else's coffee shop.

Strangely enough, after all this fuss, she seems to actually want to eat.

Xiao Ruoyi accompanied her out and said, "Eat if you want to eat, and say you don't want to eat if you don't want to. You're pregnant now, so your appetite is naturally unpredictable. You might want something sweet one second and something sour the next."

Lin Xiyin nodded vigorously.

Pei Muye felt much relieved to see a smile on her face.

Xiao Ruoyi went straight back to the hospital, and Pei Muye led her into the car.

Then, she proudly presented the hot and sour noodles.

The strong smell immediately filled the entire carriage.

Lin Xiyin's mouth started watering, and she ate most of it in one go.
