Chapter 51
The next morning, Yan Shiting packed some of Yu Li's usual belongings and sent him to the manor.
Not long after putting his things away, Yan Shiting prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he kissed Yu Li's forehead and said, "Take good care of yourself."
Yu Li reached out and hugged him: "Brother, don't worry."
Yan Shiting lowered his head and saw his gentle gaze.
He touched Yu Li's face again before turning around and getting into the car.
Watching the car drive away from the manor, Yu Li slowly withdrew her gaze.
He could sense that Yan Shiting seemed to be worried about something, which was probably related to Dr. Yan's condition.
But he also understood that Yan Shiting didn't say it because he didn't want them to worry.
The only thing he can do now is to take care of himself.
In the evening, after drinking warm milk and applying stretch mark oil, Yu Li did some prenatal education for the baby. After receiving a few responses from the baby turning over, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Since the last time Yu Li had cramps, Yan Shiting adjusted Yu Li's diet and prepared some calcium supplements. Now Yu Li no longer wakes up at night from cramps.
I slept well all night.
The next morning, as soon as he woke up and was still a little groggy, he picked up his phone.
Yan Shiting sent him a message at 3 a.m., saying that he had arrived in Country A.
Yu Li instinctively wanted to reply, but stopped when she thought that Yan Shiting probably needed to adjust to the time difference.
However, the next second, Yan Shiting's message appeared on the chat page: [Are you awake?]
Yu Li quickly replied: 【Getting up, getting up. Good morning sunflower.jpg】
Okay, I've seen my aunt.
It's nighttime here now. I'll be accompanying my aunt for a thorough check-up after daybreak.
It also included a photo of the night view.
Yu Li replied: 【Okay, brother, then you should go to sleep. Goodnight.】
【good. 】
A dozen seconds later, Yan Shiting sent another message: 【Good morning.】
Yu Li looked at the message on her phone screen and smiled.
Because she had chatted with Yan Shiting early in the morning, Yu Li was in a good mood all day.
In the evening, Yan Shiting called Yu Li and told her about the situation in Country A.
After the incident at the hospital, the wealthy Smith knew that he was the cause of the problem, so he protected Dr. Yan and Hopeless, and both of them are now safe.
Fortunately, Dr. Yan's optic nerve was not severed; he currently only has visual impairment. After treatment, he should be able to fully recover his vision to its pre-injury state within six months to a year.
Hearing that Dr. Yan was alright, Yu Li and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Mingyao also called Dr. Yan and learned that her grandmother would be back in half a month. After crying for a while, the little girl cheered up and behaved well every day without crying anymore.
When Yan Shiting wasn't around, Yu Li felt that time passed very slowly, as if each day was an eternity.
He made a study plan and lived his life step by step every day, thinking that a long time had passed. However, when he looked at the calendar, it had only been a week.
Yan Shiting won't be back for at least another week.
Yu Li lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and sighed softly.
It turned out that he missed Yan Shiting even more than he had imagined.
-
Before anyone knew it, Yu Li was already almost eight months pregnant.
His pregnant belly had grown to the size of a watermelon, and it was still noticeable even though he was wearing a loose sweatshirt.
However, most people wouldn't think that he was pregnant.
When Y University started its semester, Liu Cong came to ask Yan Sui and Yu Li to go out for a meal. When Liu Cong saw Yu Li's belly, he just thought he had gained some weight.
That day, while Yu Li was tutoring Yan Mingyao, Butler He noticed his belly.
Looking at Yu Li's belly, a somewhat impossible guess popped into Butler He's mind.
He had also seen the news about Professor Hopeless and knew about cases of men giving birth.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Butler He muttered a few words.
No wonder Dr. Yan was willing to return to the Yan family manor, and no wonder Xiao Yu, who used to keep her distance from the young master, suddenly married him.
If it's because she's pregnant, then everything makes sense.
Butler He adjusted his glasses, glanced at Yu Li's stomach again with a dazed look, and silently frowned as he walked away.
Yu Li had already noticed his gaze.
Watching Butler He's retreating figure, Yu Li was momentarily stunned.
He didn't try to hide his pregnant belly, so Butler He must have noticed.
The explanation paused for a while, and Yan Mingyao looked up in confusion.
Yu Li snapped out of her reverie, patted her hair, and continued speaking.
＊
Housekeeper He, who is usually meticulous and serious at work, has run into some problems these past few days.
He often spaced out, and when explaining tasks to his employees, he would forget what he originally intended to say. He even accidentally broke a small vase in the living room.
Yan Sui asked him to help contact a jewelry designer, but he forgot.
This is quite unusual for Butler He.
Some of the staff at the manor even privately asked Butler He if she was going through menopause.
Yan Sui was also a little worried and wanted to talk to Butler He, but Yu Li stopped him.
He knew the reason for Butler He's unusual behavior and planned to do as Yan Shiting said, giving Butler He some time to process it.
Upon hearing this, Yan Sui touched his nose and gave up the idea of going to talk.
Sure enough, three days later, Butler He returned to his original state, put the small vase back in, and arranged the work of the manor in an orderly manner.
Afterwards, Butler He took half a day off to go to a temple in Y City to burn incense and fulfill his vow.
In any case, this child came at a very good time, a very good time.
Because of it, his young master's feelings for Xiao Yu will have a chance to be reciprocated.
...
Time slowly passed, and another week went by.
As April arrived, Y City became rainy.
Dr. Yan's eye condition improved, and Professor Hopelis was out of danger and transferred from the ICU to a regular ward.
Before going to bed that night, Yu Li held her phone and made a video call with Yan Shiting.
"Today is Miss Xu's birthday, and Yan Sui went to celebrate with her. After the rain stopped in the afternoon, Ming Yao and I went to the nearby bamboo forest to pick some bamboo shoots. For dinner, the chef made a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork."
"When picking bamboo shoots..."
Yu Li chattered on about some trivial matters, while Yan Shiting listened quietly on the other side of the screen.
After finishing her speech, Yu Li drank the remaining half glass of milk.
He lay down, looking at Yan Shiting on the screen, half his face buried in the soft pillow, and asked in a muffled voice, "Brother, are you coming back soon?"
He paused, then said, "I miss you so much."
On the other side, Yan Shiting's hand holding the phone tightened slightly.
His gaze was fixed on the young man on the screen, and he said in a low voice, "The flight is in two days, arriving in Y City on the day of Qingming Festival."
His thumb lightly swept across the screen, as if caressing the face of the person on the screen, "Little Fish, I miss you so much too."
Yu Li's eyes were a little moist.
But he didn't want Yan Shiting to see it, so he turned his head away and buried his face in the pillow for a while.
After a moment, he finally showed his face and smiled, "Brother, if it were before, you definitely wouldn't have said you missed me so much."
In the past, Yan Shiting would have simply said with a stern face: I'll be back soon.
I don't know when it started, but Yan Shiting has also begun to express his feelings directly.
Yan Shiting didn't speak, but just looked at Yu Li's slightly red eyes.
Yu Li gently turned over, looked at Yan Shiting's calm expression, and said softly, "Good morning, brother."
It's 10 a.m. in Country A right now.
Yan Shiting: "Goodnight, Little Fish."
When Yu Li woke up the next day, she was full of energy again.
After washing up and going downstairs, Butler He, as usual, introduced him to today's breakfast.
Knowing that Yan Shiting and Dr. Yan would be back in two days, Butler He, Yan Sui, and Yan Mingyao all became happy.
Butler He also gave instructions that a proper welcome dinner would be held for Yan Shiting and Doctor Yan in two days.
Just as everyone was excitedly anticipating what was to come, Yu Li suddenly received a call from his mother, Lin Jiarong, in the afternoon.
"Chestnut, you're on vacation too, right? Xin Xin and I came to visit you. Are you renting a place outside or staying at school?"
