"You're not feeling well." Huo Ci insisted and didn't put the person down.

"..." Jiang Yushan had no choice but to let him carry her all the way back to the family compound.

It was already past dinner time, and there were some military wives out in the yard taking a walk or enjoying the cool air. Almost all of them saw Huo Ci carrying her back.

"I used to think Captain Huo was scary, and I didn't even dare to say a word to him. I never thought he would be so kind to his wife after getting married... Damn, if I had known earlier, I should have introduced my niece to him."

A military wife couldn't help but sigh after seeing this, and looked a little regretful.

Although Huo Ci's conditions were really good, he always had a cold face and looked like he didn't want to be approached by strangers, so no one dared to propose marriage to him.

"Your niece? There's someone named Xiao Jiang who is pretty, a good cook, and can make money. Whoever marries her will probably treat her like a ancestor!" The military wife next to her immediately poured a basin of cold water on her.

Maybe Huo Ci is good, but if Jiang Yushan wasn't so outstanding, Huo Ci probably wouldn't look down on her.

After all, all the unmarried women who came to the family compound to visit their relatives were secretly moved after seeing Huo Ci's handsome face, and often came close to him.

But Huo Ci never even looked at any of them, which even made many people wonder if there was something wrong with him or if he didn't like women.

However, all this changed after Jiang Yushan appeared.

"If I could have a daughter-in-law like Xiao Jiang, I wonder how happy I would be!" The military wife who has a son at home couldn't help but envy.

Of course, some people are envious, and naturally some people are jealous.

Liu Chunhong was originally sitting nearby, but when she heard these words, she stood up with a gloomy face. She glared at the place where the two men disappeared, and went back angrily.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Recently, everyone in the family compound has been saying good things about Jiang Yushan. Doesn't she know that these people all want to work in her small restaurant to make money?

It's just a small restaurant, why does it need so many people?

It probably won’t be open for long before it goes bankrupt!

Liu Chunhong cursed in her heart angrily. Thinking about her current life, she was full of resentment towards Jiang Yushan.

…

However, Jiang Yushan didn't know about Liu Chunhong's affairs, and was carried all the way back home by Huo Ci.

"Um...you haven't eaten yet." Seeing the cold food at home, Jiang Yushan finally reacted.

Huo Ci had just left in a hurry and hadn't even had time to eat. After being busy for so long, he must have been hungry.

"You take a rest, I can do it myself." Huo Ci immediately stopped her and did not let her enter the kitchen again.

"The dishes are already prepared, but they're cold. You can just heat them up and eat them." Seeing his insistence, Jiang Yushan didn't have to get up. Heating up the dishes was still easy for Huo Ci. "I don't want to eat. You don't have to heat mine."

Maybe it was because he smelled the fishy smell not long ago, Jiang Yushan looked disgusted and had no appetite.

Huo Ci didn't say anything. He went into the kitchen and took a look at the dishes. He felt that Jiang Yushan could only eat a small stir-fry dish, so he simply cooked her a bowl of clear soup noodles. It was not greasy and she should be able to eat it.

Since he had already prepared everything, Jiang Yushan finally ate some food and some fruit after the meal before preparing to take a shower.

"How about I help you?" Huo Ci felt uneasy when he saw her about to take a shower.

Jiang Yushan now looked like a fragile porcelain doll in front of him, and he had to be extremely careful with her.

"No need. I'm only over a month pregnant now. My belly isn't even noticeable yet. It's no different from usual. It's not time for me to help with my bath..." Jiang Yushan refused decisively, and even felt that Huo Ci was too nervous.

Although this is her first pregnancy, everything feels normal except for her poor appetite.

"Don't be too nervous. It's like this now. When your belly gets bigger, you will stay by my side every day." Jiang Yushan teased him and went into the bathroom with the clothes.

Huo Ci did not follow in, but his brows were slightly frowned, and he stood at the bathroom door without moving.

If he took a shower inside, there would be water on the floor. He was always worried that Jiang Yushan would slip, so he kept guarding outside.

If any accident happened, he would be able to know it at the first time and go in to take Jiang Yushan to see a military doctor.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Jiang Yushan came out of the shower.

"You really don't have to worry about me so much. Just treat me like usual. You're making me nervous." Jiang Yushan looked at him like this, feeling both amused and helpless.

However, she could understand his feelings about being a father for the first time, but he had to be so cautious all the time. There were still 9 months left. If Huo Ci could bear it, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

"The mood of pregnant women is also very important, you know?" Jiang Yushan emphasized.

"I understand..." Huo Ci nodded seriously. Although he wanted to relax a little, he couldn't help but follow her into the room. He felt relieved only after seeing her go to bed.

Jiang Yushan sighed, and after thinking about it, he decided to give Huo Ci some time to adapt. Maybe it would be okay.

In the evening, after Huo Ci came over after taking a shower, he was much more careful when holding Jiang Yushan. He put his palm on her lower abdomen and touched it gently.

It’s hard to imagine that there is a little life growing in here.

"Baby, be good and don't make your mother feel too uncomfortable." He put one hand on it, staring at it seriously, trying very hard to communicate with the little life inside.

"Pfft..." Jiang Yushan couldn't help laughing as he watched.

Who would have thought that Huo Ci, who was so aloof on weekdays, could actually do such a thing?

You know what, it's quite a cute contrast.

"It's probably just a small embryo now. It hasn't grown hands and feet yet, so it can't understand what you are saying." Jiang Yushan looked at his increasingly serious expression and quickly pulled him back.

If he continues talking, it will start to sound like a negotiation, and there's no need to worry about scaring the child.

"Should I tell Dad about my pregnancy?" Jiang Yushan thought to herself. Huo Ci's only relative now was Huo Qingrong.

On her own side, she didn't have any relatives worth mentioning.

"Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow." Huo Ci nodded, turned off the lights, and fell asleep with Jiang Yushan in his arms, but his hand was still on her lower abdomen in a protective gesture.

"If you're not feeling well, just rest at home tomorrow. Now that we've hired some people in the restaurant, we can handle the work." Huo Ci thought about her plan to open a restaurant and advised her worriedly.

"It's okay since I'm still pregnant." Jiang Yushan shook her head, not wanting to be so pretentious.

She doesn't feel unwell now and still wants to go to a restaurant instead of staying at home all day.

Seeing that she insisted, Huo Ci didn't say anything more.
