As Wu Shishi watched Yang Ziye's retreating figure, at that moment, he seemed incredibly tall and imposing in her heart.

He's practically her idol.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

After putting their things away and helping Wu Shishi into the car, Yang Ziye noticed her staring at him and asked her shyly.

"You were so cool just now! Super, super, super cool."

Wu Shishi hugged Yang Ziye's arm and pressed herself against him.

Yang Ziye's lips curled into a smile.

"Whatever makes you happy."

"Sit tight, we're off to the Qin family."

Seeing Wu Shishi regain her former liveliness, Yang Ziye felt that even if he offended his mother-in-law, this trip was worth it.

Upon arriving at the Qin family home, Xia Lan saw Yang Ziye and Wu Shishi carrying large and small bags.

"Are they... fleeing from disaster?"

Xia Lan pulled Wu Shishi into the house and carefully helped her sit down.

"Stop talking! I'm doomed. My father-in-law will definitely call and yell at me soon."

Yang Ziye looked terrified. He realized that his father-in-law would be very angry with him for being so harsh on his mother-in-law.

What happened?

Xiao Yuqin came out of the kitchen and sat down next to Wu Shishi.

Having only learned the general outline from Xia Lan, Xiao Yuqin looked at Wu Shishi and gently patted her hand in comfort.

Wu Shishi leaned against Xiao Yuqin's chest and began to talk about her mother's obsessive protectiveness.

“That day, Ziye and I went home to have dinner with them. My mom made my favorite braised fish, but after smelling it twice, I felt a strong fishy smell that made me want to vomit, so I rushed to the toilet and threw up.”

"My mom thought I might be pregnant, so she took me to the hospital, and it turned out I really was pregnant."

"After that, my mom locked me up at home. She said this wasn't good for the baby and I couldn't eat it, that was good for the baby and I should eat more of it, that I could touch this or it would hurt, that I couldn't touch or it would hurt, she wouldn't let me jump, she wouldn't let me throw a tantrum, she wouldn't let me go out..."

Wu Shishi didn't know what to say. Anyway, her mother wouldn't allow her to do anything that would betray the baby.

Everything revolves around the baby.

It was as if I was possessed, making me feel suffocated.

"Ring ring ring~"

Suddenly the phone rang, startling everyone.

"Oh no, it must be my father-in-law. He called."

Yang Ziye shrank back in fear, and Xia Lan rolled her eyes at him.

Look at how pathetic he is.

Xia Lan answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Xia Lan."

"Xiao Lan, this is Uncle Wu."

Just as Yang Ziye had predicted, it was Wu Jianmin.

"Uncle Wu, are you looking for Yang Ziye?"

Xia Lan asked with a smile.

No, I'm looking for you.

Wu Jianmin spoke calmly to Xia Lan.

"I know Shishi is at your house. Please take good care of her for me these next few days..."

Wu Jianmin did not object to Wu Shishi staying at the Qin family's house for a few days.

"Yang Ziye did a good job with this. I'm quite impressed."

Wu Jianmin smiled at Xia Lan.

"It's just that Shishi's mother has a heart problem. She was pregnant with a child before, but she miscarried because of an accident."

Wu Jianmin slowly revealed the truth.

It turns out that after giving birth to Wu Shishi, Wu's mother had also been pregnant with another child. However, due to her own negligence, she insisted on going for a walk in the garden and ended up stepping on a stone, causing her to lose her baby, who was not even three months old.

Although Wu Jianmin comforted her that having Shishi was enough, Wu's mother herself couldn't get over this hurdle.

"I've already brought her home. Please tell Shishi for me."

"Don't blame her mother, she was also... moved by what she saw, afraid that she would lose her child like she did..."

After Wu Jianmin finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Xia Lan glanced at Wu Shishi beside her, whose face was already covered in tears.

"So that's what Mom went through. No wonder she was so strict with me. She's always felt guilty and hasn't been able to let go of it all these years..."

Xia Lan gently patted Wu Shishi's head.

"You should stay here! Let's all calm down."

Xia Lan didn't try to persuade them, but simply arranged rooms for them so they could settle in comfortably.

That evening, Xiao Yuqin specially prepared oil-free dishes for Wu Shishi. This was the first time in three months that Wu Shishi had not experienced morning sickness, and she ate all the dishes that Xiao Yuqin had prepared for her.

"I've never eaten such a full meal before! Aunt Xiao, I love you so much."

Wu Shishi was overjoyed; she could finally have a complete meal.

"What, did I not feed you enough at home?"

Yang Ziye looked at Wu Shishi, and Wu Shishi chuckled.

"Then no one's cooking skills are as good as Aunt Xiao's..."

The food at home is okay, but it definitely doesn't taste as good as Xiao Yuqin's!

She had been craving Xiao Yuqin's cooking for a long time.

It catered to her tastes and even helped her make the choice.

"Fine! You're right."

Yang Ziye glanced at Wu Shishi and gently hooked her nose.

Wu Shishi chuckled smugly and hugged Xiao Yuqin.

"So you came to my house just to steal my mom?"

Xia Lan crossed her arms and watched as Wu Shishi pressed against Xiao Yuqin.

"How could that be? I definitely came here for you!"

Wu Shishi quickly hugged Xia Lan and tried to please her.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter at Wu Shishi's reaction.

At the Qin family home, Wu Shishi could get up and go to bed whenever she wanted, and Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin never interfered.

The pregnant woman is the most important person; she should be allowed to do whatever makes her comfortable.

Without constraints, Wu Shishi completely let go of herself, and Xia Lan or Xiao Yuqin accompanied her whenever she wanted to do something.

At the very least, Qin Youyou would accompany her.

Yang Ziye clearly saw that Wu Shishi's smile was getting bigger and bigger, and her personality was becoming more and more lively, which could be said to be a return to her former personality.

No one here will tell her that she must prioritize the baby.

Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin told her that she could do anything as long as she was happy.

"It's so comfortable living here..."

Wu Shishi was so happy that she didn't want to go home.

Xia Lan chuckled softly.

"Then let's just stay here. We have an empty house anyway."

"During the day, the old man likes to go to the park, and there's no one else at home except me."

Xiao Yuqin said happily that Qin Ming has now found his retirement life and is working hard to adapt to this hard-won free time.

Xia Lan would occasionally go to the factory for a stroll, sometimes taking Wu Shishi with her so she could go out for a walk.

To date, Wu Shishi has not had any problems.

Yang Ziye was finally able to focus on his work.

Xia Lan's method was very effective; Yang Ziye successfully used his right of first refusal to get the tenants to move out.

The next step was to level it.

The project continued day after day, and everyone worked hard every day. Yang Ziye even followed Xia Lan's example and gave them priority in purchasing.

The workers then worked even harder.

Living in such a nice house is something they've always dreamed of.
