Chapter 37 Easily Shy

Yu Li spoke lightly, but her face was still somewhat pale, and Qi Chenyan's brows remained furrowed.

"Rest a little longer. If you're still feeling unwell today, please take the day off and don't go to work. Your health is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I just felt a little nauseous while eating the beef patty, but I'm feeling better now."

"Besides, I'm still in the first trimester of pregnancy. If I take leave every day, my boss will think I'm being dramatic. And the competition at the TV station is fierce. If I take a few days off, someone else will quickly take my place."

"I have worked hard to achieve what I have today, and I will persevere unless absolutely necessary."

Qi Chenyan hesitated, but ultimately did not tell Yu Li to resign and stay home to rest and prepare for her pregnancy.

Because he could also tell that Yu Li was a very career-oriented person.

She doesn't want to be a parasitic plant that needs her husband to support her. She is independent and self-reliant, and she has already achieved a great deal by relying solely on herself.

Qi Chenyan has no stance, much less the right, to interfere with Yu Li's thoughts and freedom.

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered like this."

Yu Li held her water glass, blinked, and then burst out laughing.

"This involves two people, how can you be blamed alone?"

As she spoke, Yu Li touched her lower abdomen, and when she lowered her eyes, her gaze was filled with a maternal tenderness.

“Although I had never thought about getting married before, let alone becoming a mother, I was deeply moved when I saw him when we had our prenatal checkup that day.”

“I think I can try to learn slowly how to be a good mother. Although pregnancy is a tough process, we can share the burden together, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Qi Chenyan lowered his head and looked at his little wife. At this moment, he felt that he was far less powerful than his little wife.

He once thought he was invincible, but after becoming a father, he found himself in a lot of chaos, and in the end, he even needed Yu Li to comfort him.

Qi Chenyan reflected deeply and felt that he had failed as a husband and father.

He couldn't help but reach out and gently tuck a few stray hairs from Yu Li's forehead behind her ear.

"I will do my best to fulfill my duties as a husband and a father, and I will not let you suffer."

Perhaps it was the man's tender gesture of brushing her hair aside, or perhaps it was because their eyes met, they were so close, and their breaths were almost mingling.

In short, at this moment, in this situation, Yu Li's heart was beating a little fast.

My heart was pounding, and my ears were burning and turning red uncontrollably.

She whispered to herself, "Don't jump, don't jump! Even if you do jump, don't jump too loudly, or the other person will notice!"

"Oh ho, I've come at the wrong time? How about I go out first, and call me back when you two are done with your lovemaking?"

In the midst of this ambiguous atmosphere, an untimely, teasing voice rang out.

Upon seeing a stranger, Yu Li immediately covered her face and hid behind the sofa, pretending to be dead.

Qi Chenyan calmly stood up and gave Tan Mo a warning look.

"My wife is easily embarrassed, so please don't make jokes like that."

Wow, they've only been married a short time, and he's already calling her "my wife" all the time.

Tan Mo originally thought that Qi Chenyan was forced to marry because of the child.

But judging from the scene just now, and the way she's defending him right now, is this going to be a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love?

Of course, Tan Mo dared not speak this truth, fearing that Qi Chenyan would prioritize romance over friendship and kick him out.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I was just joking. I just envy your good relationship with Shen Yan. I'm a single guy and I don't know how to talk, so please forgive me!"

Yu Li took a few deep breaths to regain her composure before turning around to greet the guests.

Before she could even stand up, Qi Chenyan pressed her down.

“His name is Tan Mo. He’s my best brother since childhood. He’s a good person and a doctor. I’m having him come over to give you a quick check-up, otherwise I won’t feel at ease.”

"You don't need to move, just sit and let him examine you."

As he spoke, Qi Chenyan gave Tan Mo a look.

Tan Mo clicked his tongue inwardly. He really had a wife and forgot about his brothers. His sister-in-law was about to get up and greet him politely, but this guy couldn't even stand up. He was just too doting on his wife!

Honestly, if the phrase "doting on his wife" had been applied to Qi Chenyan before today, his close friends would have thought he had lost his mind.

They even made bets behind each other's backs that they would all find a partner or get married, while Qi Chenyan, this workaholic who was constantly flying around the world, was still a perpetual bachelor.

Unexpectedly, while these people were still missing, Qi Chenyan arrived with his wife and children, and completed the whole process in one night.

It has to be said that when a person's luck with women comes, there's no stopping it!

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you're pregnant now, you can't move around too much, let me do it."

Although Tan Mo arrived in a hurry, fortunately, his family always had a complete first-aid kit, so he could just grab it and go.

As he opened the first-aid kit and took out medical tools such as a stethoscope, he exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you have no idea, I received a call from Shen Yan this early in the morning."

"He was very anxious on the other end of the phone, saying that you were not feeling well and had been vomiting, and that I had to come over within half an hour."

"I didn't step on the gas pedal the whole way, except at traffic lights. I rushed here in a hurry, afraid that something might happen to you, sister-in-law."

Although Tan Mo used an exaggerated approach, Qi Chenyan did indeed make the phone call and said those words.

Yu Li didn't expect that her vomiting would scare Qi Chenyan.

It's hard to imagine that someone as composed and unflappable as him, who commands the world in front of the camera, would ever be in such a rush.

Yu Li's watery eyes curved slightly. "I just had morning sickness. It was probably my first time, so the reaction was a bit strong. Neither he nor I were used to it, so he was a little scared."

“But I’m much better now, thank you for making this trip.”

Tan Mo said repeatedly, "It's no trouble at all. Serving you is what I should do. You don't need to be so polite with me. If you feel unwell in the future, just tell me. Your affairs are my affairs."

After all, there are almost no people or things in this world that can make Qi Chenyan show any anxiety.

Tan Mo has finally seen something new today, so he naturally treats Yu Li with the utmost respect, lest he be reprimanded by Qi Chenyan.

"Her blood pressure is normal, and her heart rate is a little fast, but it's still within the normal range. There's nothing wrong with my sister-in-law's health. It should just be simple morning sickness. She should pay attention to eating a light diet. Everything is normal, so she can relax."
