Chapter 44 44. Preparing for pregnancy "It was too deep yesterday, okay?" ...
Aunt Chen, who was picking vegetables by the pool, suddenly stopped, wiped the water stains, turned around and asked.
"Miss Yan Ge? Is she back?"
It seemed like this was indeed the case. Even her aunt knew about her existence. Mi Yanyan pretended to be nonchalant and replied, "Yes, I saw her yesterday."
"He's quite an arrogant fellow," Aunt Chen said, bluntly summarizing, "and he once had feelings for Jingzhou."
Yan Ge and Shi Jingzhou have a long history. Shi Huaizhi is a legend in the pharmaceutical industry for building Ruisi's empire, and he was inevitably restrained by others.
The Yan family camp has always had interests related to the Shi family, and Aunt Chen knows the reason.
"Mr. Shi was able to successfully take over Ruisi, and the Yan family did play a role."
After so many years of affection, it’s no wonder that the future marriage of grandchildren is tied together. Mi Yanyan suddenly had a question.
If that’s the case, why would the Shi family let herself get involved? Compared to Yanhe Pharmaceutical, her family is really not worth mentioning.
"But you can rest assured, madam. Your mother-in-law and Yan Ge don't get along." Aunt Chen smiled cunningly.
Mi Yanyan was surprised. How could Ye Qionghua, such a gentle and obedient person, make enemies?
"My mother-in-law treats me very well and has a gentle personality. I never thought there was any reason why I couldn't get along with her."
"That's fine with you, silly girl. The Yan family is very powerful, and Miss Yan only has feelings for Jing Zhou. Otherwise, why would she condescend to befriend the Shi family?"
After a few words, Mi Yanyan roughly understood the situation. Yan Ge insisted on relying on Shi Jingzhou.
The two were indeed classmates in the past, but it is unknown to what extent their relationship developed.
If you think about it carefully, they are so devoted to each other, could it be that they really had an extraordinary love history in the past?
Aunt Chen really didn't know the specific details. She only said that Yan Ge was there during the years when Shi Jingzhou was abroad.
When Aunt Chen said this, she pulled the shallot in her hand so hard that it made a ping-pong sound. It was obvious that she was really unhappy.
She smiled and went upstairs, staring at the cloakroom in a daze.
Shi Jingzhou's initial words "Marry me" were incoherent and the whole process was incredibly fast. In addition, he was so emotional when he met Yan Ge yesterday that he even smashed his phone.
Her relationship with Shi Jingzhou was not that deep, but he reacted so violently. Could it be that he had been hurt by Yan Ge before?
The thoughts are confused and unclear, and the love in youth is more about companionship and youthfulness.
She once admired and loved him, and tried her best to pursue him, but later she found out that it was just a flash in the pan. After being hit hard by reality, she left in a seemingly carefree manner.
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it, but couldn't help but have another thought flash through her mind: if it were really as she thought.
Is it fulfillment or perfection?

It is said to be the old residence of the Shi family, but its address is in the west of the city center of Nancheng. It is a new Chinese-style villa complex that was just built two years ago, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
The car stopped at the door, and Mi Yanyan found it difficult to move. Firstly, the atmosphere was very different from that of Shi Jingzhou's parents' home. Next to the green mountains and clear waters and a fish pond, there was a rockery standing there to block the view. The layers of rockery blocked the inner courtyard, making it a little depressing in the evening.
She had never met Shi Huaizhi and was somewhat afraid of his rumored majesty.
Secondly, she applied medicine. She was wearing a modified cheongsam that Shi Jingzhou had specially sent home, which was hip-hugging and waist-hugging. At this moment, her legs were burning and she had to hold her breath and concentrate every time she took a step.
Shi Jingzhou noticed Mi Yanyan's serious expression, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He got out of the car first and raised his palms, waiting for her to help him.
When he landed, he glanced at Mi Yanyan's stilettos and asked, "Are the shoes too high?"
Mi Yanyan smiled and looked at him without saying anything.
Brother, it was too late yesterday, okay?
After walking a few paths, they arrived at the banquet. The male and female guests were toasting each other. Ye Qionghua was in charge of all matters with her aunt. Shi Ting and Shi Ye were sitting on one side of Shi Huai, and on the other side -
It’s Yan Ge.
In terms of position, she became the guest of honor today. Ye Qionghua waved to his wife. Mi Yanyan gathered her energy and walked over to her, calling her "Mom".
Shi Huaizhi ignored Mi Yanyan as if he could only see half of the sky. His strong thumb pointed at the empty space next to Yan Ge, motioning Shi Jingzhou to come over.
"Jingzhou wants to drink, please sit with me." Ye Qionghua pulled Mi Yanyan over, pressed her wrist, and led her to the table.
Mi Yanyan responded and sat down with her skirt lifted. Seeing the wine cup on the table across from Shi Jingzhou, she couldn't help but frown.
He can't drink any alcohol after taking cephalexin.
At the same time, in addition to the Shi family's relatives, the person who looked at Mi Yanyan also included Shi Zekai who was sitting beside her.
Finally they met again, but Mi Yanyan didn't look at him the whole time, as if their last meeting had never happened.
Her face, once cautious and serene, now appeared bright and lively. Lotus-colored satin wrapped around her snow-white skin, a circle of creamy white rabbit fur trimming accentuated her graceful figure.
Why didn’t I realize how beautiful she was when we met that day? I just thought she was still a naive little girl.
He comes from an ordinary family, speaks little and is awkward, so it is difficult for him to achieve anything.
Even when he was told that Shi Jingzhou was going to take it away, he didn't feel sorry.
Mi Yanyan's eyes fell on Shi Zekai and she smiled at him politely. He suddenly felt regretful.
The contract he signed in a hurry that day was worth only a few dollars, and it was probably the most unprofitable deal he had made in more than 30 years of planning and planning.
Mi Yanyan looked over and saw that the old man was just as she had expected when they first met, with a stern face that was authoritarian and domineering. He only smiled when Yan Ge leaned over and whispered to him.
It can be seen that he really wants to marry her home as his granddaughter-in-law and enjoy the company of his grandchildren.
Shi Jingzhou was really surprised when he saw Yan Ge sitting at the table. Logically speaking, today's family dinner was just Shi Huaizhi's way of calming down the dispute and giving Shi Ye and his son a way out. In the future, Shi Zekai and Shi Jingzhou could still do their respective jobs and work hard for Ruisi, maintaining a superficial brotherly relationship.
Yan Ge can't be considered a family member, so how can he attend the Shi family's family dinner?
He shook his head silently, thinking he had fallen into the old man's trap. Looking up again, he saw Ye Qionghua holding Mi Yanyan's hand and chatting. The two of them were talking and laughing in a friendly manner, and the heavy weight in his heart suddenly lifted a little.
At the beginning of the meal, Huaizhi said a few words to point out the recent turmoil in the Shi family. Shi Ting stayed out of it with a cup of tea in his hand, while Shi Ye filled his glass with wine and waited for the old man to finish speaking.
Mi Yanyan's eyes were fixed on Shi Jingzhou's table. There was a pot of white wine and anti-inflammatory medicine. Now was the perfect time to call 120.
After he finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses. Shi Jingzhou picked up the small pot. Mi Yanyan suddenly coughed lightly, the sound neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone at the table to hear. Shi Zekai didn't understand why, so he lowered his posture slightly and looked at Shi Jingzhou.
"Jingzhou, you've worked hard. This is a toast to you, big brother."
After saying that, he raised his head and finished drinking. He looked at Shi Jingzhou who was still sitting there nonchalantly, his fingertips sliding across the wall of the cup.
Shi Huaizhi knocked on the table and said, "Zekai is toasting you, why are you standing there?"
He sat up straight and picked up the small semicircular glass handle. Just as he raised it, Mi Yanyan coughed again.
Now everyone's eyes were focused on him.
It happened twice in a row, so it can't be a coincidence.
Yan Ge covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're not giving Jing Zhou a drink," and then turned to Shi Zekai and raised his glass, "Brother, I'll drink with you. I can't just let you wait."
Shi Huaizhi's expression was displeased, and he didn't even glance at Mi Yanyan. She knew that it was rude to act so abruptly when she first arrived at the old house, but they had only been married for a short time...
You can't let your husband die just because of a meal.
Besides, she is a doctor, even if she is a veterinarian, she can't bear to see people ruining their bodies.
She couldn't pretend to be dead when she knew it was impossible.
Those who loved to show off their drinking had already finished their drinks and were chatting with the old man. During the meal, people whispered from time to time that Yan Ge was the eldest daughter of the Yan family after all, and she could not only manage the business but also please others.
In her conversation, she inevitably mentioned that she and Shi Jingzhou were childhood sweethearts, living together in a foreign country and studying together for several years.
When Ye Qionghua heard this, he glanced at them with a rare fierce look, and the ignorant people burst into laughter and shut up.
She squeezed Mi Yanyan's palms under the table, turned her head and smiled at her, picked up a few dishes and put them in the bowl, and said, "The chef at home is very good. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Mi Yanyan tasted it and her eyebrows curved. She nodded repeatedly and said, "It's delicious. Thank you, Mom."
Yan Ge saw it out of the corner of his eye and snorted coldly. It was said that Shi Jingzhou's mother was a kind person with a notoriously gentle temper. But he had met her several times and she had never been nice to him.
At that time, Shi Jingzhou was busy with his studies abroad and also had to deal with the group's affairs. She came to help, but Ye Qionghua only said, "Jingzhou has someone to take care of him, don't bother Miss Yan."
They were almost inseparable for several years, so of course she had expressed her feelings to Shi Jingzhou in both open and covert ways.
Unfortunately, he always refused directly, and his reason at that time was mostly that he was not interested in pursuing a relationship at the moment.
She was not afraid of waiting, as she believed that no one in the world could compare to their friendship.
Unexpectedly, when I was abroad, I suddenly learned about his marriage. There was no wedding banquet, but he quietly got a marriage certificate with a woman he had never heard of.
The family members only said that the two families had a little relationship in the past, and they originally planned to match Shi Zekai, but in the end it was Shi Jingzhou who was chosen.
She was hit hard, and she arranged everything, booked a flight and returned to South City overnight.
I only received some wedding candy gifts from my secretary.
Shi Zekai and his father looked at each other, quietly watching how Shi Jingzhou was going to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, he apologized with a smile and a sincere expression to his relatives and friends.
"My wife and I are trying to conceive, and we really can't drink during this critical period."
Mi Yanyan's face flushed red. Ye Qionghua had already leaned over, unable to contain her joy. She said in a loud voice, "No wonder Aunt Chen asked me to prescribe some yin-nourishing and moisturizing prescriptions just now. She didn't explain it clearly. Preparing for pregnancy requires careful preparation."
She pursed her lips in agreement, and in her heart she wanted to drag Shi Jingzhou out and give him eighty lashes of the board. Damn it, this bastard.
It's both reasonable and infuriating to pin the blame on her.
Shi Ting, who was usually silent, had his eyebrows light up when he heard this. He asked someone to remove Shi Jingzhou's drinking utensils, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't touch a single drop of wine for me now. Come on, Qionghua, please make room for us. It's not convenient for a young couple to talk from such a distance."
Ye Qionghua smiled and patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder, then stood up and changed seats with Shi Jingzhou.
When Jing Zhou sat down beside her leisurely, she was still immersed in the nonsense he had just talked about.
Preparing for pregnancy, it’s a wonder he could think of that.
She is happy to say it now, but if there is no movement for another year or two, the knife of the Shi family's attack will fall directly on her head.
Shi Jingzhou saw the porcelain-like face of the person next to him turn red and white, and her lower lip was bitten nervously until it became rosy and crystal clear, and he couldn't help but tease her.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "Madam, eat more. We'll continue when we get home tonight."
