Yan Yirou was in a very good mood all day, right up until she went to bed.

But when Gu Chenye told her that he was leaving the next morning, her mood plummeted as if she had fallen from the clouds, and she felt extremely sad.

"I should have told you tomorrow so you could get a good night's sleep."

Gu Chenye said regretfully, and hugged her to coax her, "Wife, I promise I'll call you whenever I have time, okay?"

Yan Yirou nestled in his arms, sobbing as she demanded, "I want the video."

Gu Chenye didn't want to laugh unless he couldn't help it.

But his wife is so cute!

Yan Yirou didn't hear his reply, but instead heard his chest vibrate. She looked up and saw him smiling. At that moment, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her fur stood on end!

Gu Chenye was surprised that she would suddenly look up. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he quickly replied, "Okay, let's video chat."

Unfortunately, it was too late!

"You actually made fun of me?" Yan Yirou glared at him, her puffed-up face resembling a pufferfish.

"No." Gu Chenye's survival instinct kicked in, and he explained, "I was laughing because you're so cute, my wife. I like your cuteness, I wasn't making fun of you."

Yan Yirou paused for a moment, then pouted, "What's so cute about her? She's more pitiful and no one loves her. She just found out she was pregnant during the day, and her husband is leaving the very next day."

Gu Chenye received a last-minute notice that he had to return two days earlier than planned.

She was newly pregnant, and he should have been by her side, but he didn't have time to be with her.

"I'm sorry, honey..."

But before Gu Chenye could finish speaking, Yan Yirou suddenly interrupted him: "I don't want you to apologize, and you don't need to apologize to me. That's your duty. You know me, I just like to talk nonsense. You don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine at home and wait for you to come back."

In an instant, Gu Chenye tightened his arms around her slightly, but not so much that it hurt her.

"You are also my responsibility."

Gu Chenye's voice was hoarse, tinged with guilt.

Yan Yirou increasingly regretted saying those words.

She snuggled against him and said playfully, "Your precious daughter said we can't talk about it anymore, and we can't think about it anymore. We're going to sleep now, and you have to sleep with us."

Feeling her warmth, Gu Chenye's heart softened, and a gentle smile rose in his eyes. He kissed her forehead and said, "Okay, I'll sleep with you."

After the lights were turned off, Yan Yirou nestled in Gu Chenye's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

With the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Gu Chenye was not sleepy.

He was thinking about whether he should transfer to a land-based job so that he could go home more often. She was pregnant now, and he should spend more time with her.

After figuring things out, Gu Chenye closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day.

When Yan Yirou woke up, she was alone in bed. Remembering that Gu Chenye had said he was leaving today, she suddenly got up and got out of bed. She saw the note on the bedside table, reached out and picked it up to read it.

It was written by Gu Chenye.

"Honey, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself. If anything happens, talk to Mom; she'll help you."

A hint of annoyance flashed in Yan Yirou's eyes, and she suddenly slapped her forehead.

"I told you to sleep, how can you sleep so much!" She had originally planned to see him off today.

Yan Yirou put down the note and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up and changing her clothes, Yan Yirou went downstairs.

Ji Moyan smiled when she saw her: "Rou Rou, you're up so early. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Well!

Yan Yirou said shyly, "I woke up because I was hungry."

Ji Moyan was taken aback.

The next second, she sighed and said, "Look at me, I'm so confused. I woke up because I was hungry."

Then, Ji Moyan said, "The breakfast is still warm, I'll go get it for you."

Yan Yirou pursed her lips and pulled her mother-in-law, saying, "Mom, I can do it myself, you don't need to be so polite."

She felt that being too polite made them seem less like family.

Yan Yirou wasn't a scheming person; her thoughts were written all over her face, making her easy to guess. Ji Moyan could tell at a glance that she had misunderstood.

Ji Moyan explained, "I don't consider you an outsider. It was that brat Lao San who kept telling me to take good care of you before he left, and not to let you get tired or hurt. It's the first time I've ever heard him say so much."

Yan Yirou was deeply moved, but said aloud, "Don't listen to him, I can take care of myself."

“No, that won’t do. Putting him aside, I’m happy to take care of you.” Ji Moyan said, and then walked towards the kitchen.

Soon, she came out carrying a tray.

The tray contained milk, eggs, bread, and a bowl of lean meat porridge.

"Thank you, Mom." Yan Yirou sat down at the dining table.

Ji Moyan sat next to her, peeling an egg as she said, "Rou Rou, I confirmed my pregnancy yesterday. You like sweets, so I had someone make some for you. But actually, pregnant women should eat sweets in moderation, not too many!"

She handed her the half-peeled egg.

Yan Yirou didn't understand these things, and after taking the eggs, she said, "I'll listen to Mom."

Ji Moyan smiled: "Your reaction came earlier than Wu Bao's. I will have a nutritionist design a pregnancy nutrition plan based on your situation."

If you have any dietary restrictions, just tell me. If you don't like the nutritional meals, please also tell me. We're family; there's nothing we can't say to each other's faces.

Yan Yirou nodded as she ate, and after swallowing, she said, "Don't worry, I won't keep it to myself."

The main reason is that she couldn't hold it in either.

After having breakfast with her mother-in-law, Yan Yirou didn't know what to do next.

She used to be able to work at a large pharmacy.

However, because of the honeymoon arrangements, the position of store manager of the pharmacy was handed over to someone else, since it was impossible to be without a store manager for a month.

Another reason is that her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is too superficial, making her unsuitable to be the manager of a large pharmacy.

She had wanted to quit her job for a long time, but she had made a promise to Wu Bao back then, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.

However, she felt that Wu Bao had already seen through it, but was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so she didn't say anything. Then, she took the opportunity of Wu Bao going on her honeymoon to relieve her of this burden.

Waaaaah, Wu Bao is so good to her, she misses Wu Bao!

Yan Yirou's imagination ran wild, and she was so moved that she cried.

When Ji Moyan returned from the flower room, she was startled to see her sitting in the living room crying.

But she couldn't panic. She increased the volume of her footsteps while observing her daughter-in-law's reaction.

Upon hearing footsteps, Yan Yirou quickly wiped away her tears.

Ji Moyan then spoke up: "Rou Rou, would you like to come with me to the flower room for a while?"

Yan Yirou breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, her mother-in-law didn't see her crying, otherwise she would have been mortified.

She stood up and said, "Okay!"

"Wait for me a moment, I'll get some food for Little Sunflower."

Ji Moyan went to the snack cabinet and took out a can of pistachios, a can of sunflower seeds, and a can of cashews.

As she walked, she said, "These are all things that Wu Bao bought for Xiao Kuihua and her husband. Originally, she wanted to take the two little ones back with her, but as soon as Xiao Kuihua got close to Tianyou, Tianyou started crying, so Wu Bao left Xiao Kuihua and the others behind."

Yan Yirou was stunned; she had never heard Wu Bao mention it before.

However, this suddenly reminded her of a plot point in that male-oriented novel!
