Chapter 306 Can't I just let Morrison marry you?
Less than an hour later, both Qiao Siying and Shi Jingman appeared at Chu Rou's bedside.
Chu Rou has been designated as a high-risk individual and can only stay in bed because her two mothers told her that the first three months are very dangerous and she needs to take good care of herself during pregnancy.
Mo Chi was pushed aside and listened to the two mothers' teachings, who specifically reminded him that he absolutely could not have sex for the first three months.
Mo Chi felt a little embarrassed being told this by her own mother and mother-in-law. Yuan Qian had shared a lot of pregnancy knowledge with them before, and Mo Chi had studied it carefully.
After the two mothers finished their nagging, Chu Rou said weakly, "Mom, please take care of my meal first. I'm hungry, but what if I throw up after eating?"
“You have to eat even if you throw up, otherwise how will the baby absorb nutrients!” Shi Jingman said. “When I was pregnant with you, I almost threw up bile, but I still forced myself to eat.”
Qiao Siying put it more tactfully, "Rou Rou, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have someone find two chefs with experience in making meals for pregnant women. They'll definitely be able to feed you well."
Chu Rou felt nauseous at the thought of oily soup. She swallowed a mouthful of sour water. "Right now, I just want something light, like white porridge, pickled vegetables, and fruit."
"That's easy, Mom will prepare it for you right away." Qiao Siying went downstairs to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Chu Rou drank a bowl of white porridge, and her stomach felt much better. Giving birth to a child is really not easy.
Shi Jingman took care of Chu Rou for a week, and she was thinking of staying to keep Chu Rou company, but Chu Rou persuaded her to leave, saying, "Mom, you should go back with Uncle Chen. I have servants at home, and my mother-in-law will take care of me, so you can rest assured."
“Uncle Shen can’t even afford to eat by himself, and you don’t trust the nanny. Come over when I’m about to give birth, that’s when I need you the most.”
Shi Jingman thought about it and agreed. Shen Minghui was now the vice mayor, so there were even more women eyeing him. She had to keep an eye on him and not let him make any mistakes.
Shen Yan and Huang Shan left first; there were still many cases waiting to be handled at the law firm.
Qu Jie didn't leave; she and Song Ling spent several days playing with Nancy.
Morrison was busy with his own affairs and didn't have time for Nancy, so he let her go out and have fun with her friends, only sending people to protect her.
Nancy only becomes herself when she's with them; she laughs, eats snacks with them, and screams loudly with them on roller coasters.
Nancy grew to love the country more and more. She looked up at the sky, wondering if she would ever have the chance to live here. Perhaps she could ask for it after Morrison grew tired of her.
Nancy and the others all knew that Chu Rou was pregnant, and they didn't dare to disturb her. However, Qu Jie's vacation was over, and Nancy also had to return to Country A. Song Ling accompanied them to Chu Rou's house.
"Sister Chu Rou, you've lost weight!" Song Ling was very surprised. In just a few days, Chu Rou's originally round face had become a V-shaped face.
Chu Rou had just finished vomiting, her face pale and her body weak. Leaning back on the sofa, she greeted her friends, "Please sit down, it's really a long story!"
"My morning sickness is getting worse and worse, and I can't stop eating. It's so agonizing."
After hearing this, Song Ling became hesitant about having children. However, she and Qi Hang had not been using contraception, and it would be terrible if she got pregnant. She hadn't thought about it this much before, but from today onwards, she had to make Qi Hang use contraception.
Nancy had been taking birth control pills for a long time and was not yet eligible to have a child with Morrison, but she longed to have a child so that she would have a family member in the world.
Qu Jie didn't feel anything. Having a child was still a long way off for her, and she didn't know when the person she was going to have a child with would come back. She just felt sorry for Chu Rou.
Chu Rou leaned on Nancy's shoulder and said, "Nancy, I'm so sorry, I haven't been able to spend much time with you since you came here."
“It’s okay, Song Ling and Qu Jie have been keeping me company, and I’ve had a great time these past few days,” Nancy said, putting her arm around Chu Rou’s shoulder. “Chu Rou, I hope your pregnancy symptoms will pass soon.”
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Chu Rou was truly reluctant to see Nancy go; she liked her too much. "When can you come again?"
Nancy hummed in agreement. "I'm leaving tomorrow. Actually, I really wanted to stay, but unfortunately, I can't make my own decision."
Qu Jie and Song Ling didn't understand Nancy's meaning. "Why? Is it because your family is very strict?"
Chu Rou had already guessed the relationship between Nancy and Morrison. She wanted to help Nancy cover it up, but unexpectedly, Nancy answered their questions herself.
"Because I was Morrison's mistress, I was given to him by my family five years ago. After I turned eighteen, I was taken to live with him."
Qu Jie and Song Ling both opened their mouths wide, unable to utter a single word.
Chu Rou was also shocked, ignoring her stomach discomfort. She guessed the relationship between Nancy and Morrison, but she never expected that Nancy was sent away by her family at the age of thirteen. What a terrifying family this was!
Seeing their expressions, Nancy lowered her eyes and said softly, "I know my identity is embarrassing, and if I tell you, I won't be qualified to be your friend, but I don't want to lie to you."
“No, it’s not your fault,” Qu Jie reacted first, and she grabbed Nancy’s hand. “We’re not surprised by your identity, but by your family. Why would they treat you like this?”
“Because I am an illegitimate child,” Nancy explained. “Illegitimate children and illegitimate children in the William family are commodities. As long as they can bring profit, we can be sold to anyone.”
"Oh my god!" Song Ling exclaimed, "I'm also an illegitimate child, but my dad still wants me to inherit his company!"
"The William family?" Chu Rou suddenly realized something. "Nancy, was it your family that imprisoned Mo Chi back then?"
Nancy nodded. "The person who imprisoned Mo Chi is my father!"
"And then you begged Morrison to save Mo Chi?" Chu Rou's eyes widened. "Wouldn't that mean you offended your family?"
“It’s worth it for you,” Nancy said calmly. “Besides, I hate them anyway, so I’m happy to make things difficult for them.”
“Nancy,” Chu Rou hugged her excitedly, “You must have suffered a lot for me, but I didn’t know anything about it. I’m so terrible.”
“I haven’t been wronged at all,” Nancy thought Chu Rou would look down on her, but seeing Chu Rou’s self-reproachful reaction, her eyes welled up with tears. “Morrison has been very good to me.”
Chu Rou suddenly looked up and asked Nancy, "Is Morrison married? Does he have a girlfriend?"
Nancy shook her head. "Not yet, so I can stay by his side for the time being."
“He must really like you. If I, a woman, could fall in love with you, how much more would a normal man?” Chu Rou said, touching Nancy’s breasts. “They’ve gotten bigger!”
"Why can't Morrison marry you?"
