Chapter 182: He promised to spend the New Year with her, but now he's not even replying to her messages.
It's too obvious.
I doubt anyone would be like Jin Changyu, who has to be fully armed just to go out for a walk.
They had to wrap her up like a cicada pupa, completely covered up, only letting her out with her face showing.
Sometimes when it was windy, he would add a scarf to cover her mouth and nose, leaving only her round eyes showing.
At first, she complained that it looked terrible, like she had a ball stuffed in her stomach, and that her walking shape was strange.
But he looked delighted and satisfied, saying she was adorable.
After going out with Su Luoluo, they strolled slowly in the garden for more than ten minutes before Su Luoluo pulled her to sit down on a bench nearby.
After Sang Qian sat down, she looked at her and asked, "Was this also something he instructed you to do?"
When Jin Changyu accompanies her out, he always pulls her down to sit and rest for a while after walking for a short time.
Su Luoluo nodded.
Sang Qian asked, "What else did he tell you?"
"a lot of."
Seeing her wide-eyed, questioning look, Su Luoluo simply took out her phone and showed her the text message that filled the entire screen.
Sang Qian saw that the text message listed all the things she did every night, using numbers, including the time of day for eating, taking a walk, eating fruit or having a late-night snack, taking a shower, and listening to a story before bed. Each item was marked with notes on important details.
As Sang Qian watched, her eyes began to sting again.
Although she did these things every day, she herself hadn't noticed so many details and her usual unintentional little habits, yet he remembered them all.
Su Luoluo looked at her reddened eyes, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Qianqian, what about this man...?"
Su Luoluo paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant to speak, and carefully chose her words before saying, "He has things he has to deal with personally. Although he may not be able to come back to celebrate the New Year with you, his love for you... well, in my opinion, it's passed the test."
Seeing Sang Qian looking at her with hazy and confused eyes, Su Luoluo said, "What I want to say is that even if he is not by your side now, he has always been showing his love and protection for you through his actions."
"His love has always been with you; it has never been absent."
Sang Qian could certainly feel Jin Changyu's love, but she was surprised that Su Luoluo would speak up for Jin Changyu like this today.
"Even a villa couldn't buy you off. He's away on a business trip today, and he asked you to fill in for him. How come you've suddenly changed your attitude towards him?"
"Should we just let him pass directly?"
Sang Qian looked at her inquisitively, feeling as if she had missed some important information. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Su Luoluo suddenly straighten her back.
"I only let him pass because he took good care of you."
Sang Qian was still somewhat suspicious, "Just because of that?"
"What else?" Su Luoluo raised an eyebrow.
"Besides, the fact that he thought of asking me to come and keep you company while he was away on a business trip shows that he is at least somewhat sensible."
Sang Qian still had a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't quite explain, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"But……"
"Alright, no more buts, break time is over."
Su Luoluo took her phone back from her hand and helped her up. "Let's continue our walk."
Sang Qian, being controlled, was like a penguin, being slowly moved forward by her.
"Luo Luo..."
"Hey, were those flowers over there newly planted? I didn't notice them before."
Sang Qian, who was about to ask something, was led astray by her words and looked in the direction she was pointing. "That was planted by Jin Changyu. He said that this kind of flower blooms in the cold winter, and its fragrance is delicate, so it's safe for pregnant women to come into contact with it..."
The two strolled around the garden, stopping frequently. Su Luoluo was very strict with the time; half an hour later, she led the person home.
Back home, Aunt Li cut some fruit for the two of them, and they sat on the sofa in the living room chatting.
After a long while, Su Luoluo got up and went to the restroom, leaving Sang Qian sitting there alone.
The living room was quiet.
Sang Qian glanced at the empty space to her left, and the smile that had finally appeared on her face faded again.
At this time of day, Jin Changyu would usually sit in this spot to chat with her and watch TV.
Although Luo Luo's company improved her mood considerably, she couldn't help but start thinking about Jin Changyu again once she calmed down.
Perhaps it's because he's been by her side every night lately, but now that he's not here, she feels a void in her heart.
She picked up her phone and saw that there were no new messages in their chat, and her eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't help but send him a message: "What are you doing right now?"
After sending the message, I waited for a while but didn't receive a reply.
Why is he ignoring her?
He promised to spend the New Year with her, but now he's not even replying to her messages.
Sang Qian's mood, which had just started to improve, turned gloomy and unhappy again.
Suddenly she realized that she had been so preoccupied with being unhappy that she had forgotten to call her second uncle.
She quickly made a phone call to Sang Jingshan...
When Su Luoluo returned from the bathroom, she saw Sang Qian sitting on the sofa, frowning and pressing her phone, as if she were making a call.
She sat down next to him and asked softly, "Who are you calling?"
"My second uncle."
Sang Qian held the phone to her ear, but the call hadn't been answered yet. "I haven't told him about Jin Changyu's business trip yet. I've called twice already, but no one's answering."
Upon hearing that she was calling Sang Jingshan, Su Luoluo's expression changed. She reached out, took the phone from her, and immediately hung up.
"Luo Luo, what... what are you doing?"
Sang Qian looked at her actions with a puzzled expression.
"I'm calling my second uncle."
"Pregnant lady, don't you even look at the time? It's so cold in the countryside, our second uncle is probably already in bed asleep, how can he answer the phone?"
Her words instantly dispelled the unease that had been building up in Sang Qian because her second uncle hadn't answered the phone.
That's right.
My second uncle has always had the habit of going to bed early.
I go to bed even earlier in winter.
They're probably already asleep by now, so it's normal that they didn't answer the phone.
"Alright, it's time for you to take a shower. Let's go upstairs."
Su Luoluo confiscated her phone and pulled her upstairs.
Sang Qian glanced at the clock and chuckled, "Are you going to strictly follow the timetable Jin Changyu gave you for carrying out the mission?"
Su Luoluo: "I've been entrusted with this task, so I must do my duty."
More than half an hour later.
Sang Qian had just finished showering and was about to get dressed when there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Qianqian? Are you alright?"
Sang Qian:?
“I’m fine, what’s wrong?” she replied from inside.
"It's alright." Su Luoluo's voice was calmer. "You took two minutes longer to shower than usual."
"..."
There can't be even a two-minute margin of error.
Sang Qian touched her round belly and whispered, "Duo Duo, your godmother's standards are too strict."
"We need to get dressed and go out quickly, otherwise if we delay any longer, your godmother will come crashing in."
After putting on her pajamas and opening the bathroom door, Sang Qian looked up and saw Su Luoluo standing straight outside the door.
She was a little dumbfounded. "I'm just taking a shower, what could possibly happen?"
Jin Changyu took multiple safety precautions in the bathroom, so there were no safety hazards inside.
Su Luoluo shrugged, "I had no choice, I was asked to do it..."
"So it's about being loyal to your master, right?" Sang Qian interrupted her.
"He even did prenatal education for Duobao before bed. Are you going to do it for him tonight too?"
"Isn't that necessary?"
Su Luoluo kept her word and made sure Sang Qian was in bed by the appointed time to listen to her story.
Sang Qian said no, she said matter-of-factly, "This service is for Duobao, not for you, so your objection is invalid."
So she had no choice but to lie down obediently.
Looking at Su Luoluo sitting there earnestly telling stories, Sang Qian couldn't help but think of the man who usually sat in this spot to coax her to sleep.
