Chapter 87 Do you want to leave? I can help you.
Wang Xi is already more than seven months pregnant. The person who used to walk briskly is now walking with a heavy heart because of her big belly.
Wang Xi's expression instantly became excited when she saw Shen Tang. Shen Tang was afraid that she would suddenly run over like last time, so she quickly said, "Take your time!"
Wang Xi touched her nose somewhat sullenly, but she listened to advice and didn't run over.
When Shen Tang approached and saw Wang Xi's large belly, his expression became serious. He helped her slowly sit down on the chair.
Seeing her so serious, Wang Xi chuckled and said, "It's not that serious. My child is very resilient."
Hearing her say that, Shen Tang rolled her eyes at her helplessly.
Then he looked at her stomach and asked, "May I touch it?"
Wang Xi took her hand and placed it on her stomach: "You're the child's godmother, feel free to touch."
Shen Tang felt the sensation under her hand with a somewhat reverent expression. Suddenly, she felt a thud in her palm. Shen Tang's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "He kicked me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xi looked at her belly with a gentle expression, then said to Shen Tang, "The little one likes you."
Shen Tang touched it again. The little guy seemed to be a lively person, as it throbbed several times in her palm. This was the first time Shen Tang had truly felt the wonder of life, and she was filled with amazement.
The thought that her belly would have the same reaction a few months later filled her with excitement and joy.
This is her true family, the ones she shares blood with.
After Jiang Congyu and Meng Huaiyan got into a fight last time, Jiang Congyu tried to mediate several more times but still failed to get any favors.
Wang Xi was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. However, not long after, she heard the news that Shen Tang was pregnant.
Wang Xi looked at Shen Tang and asked with some concern, "How have you been lately?"
Shen Tang paused slightly, then, supporting her stomach, said, "I'm fine. How about you?"
“I’m fine.” Wang Xi sighed, “It’s just that they have a lot of rules, which is a bit annoying.”
"You have no idea, there are many rules about eating in their family. You have to chew silently, you can't eat big mouthfuls, you have to chew slowly and carefully, and you can't take more than three bites of food at a time."
"They're driving me crazy. People like them are so bad that even if you put them in the army, they'd be eating shit before they're even hot."
"Hahahaha," Shen Tang burst out laughing immediately upon hearing this. Wang Xi's words were really too crude.
After laughing, he asked, "What about Jiang Congyu? How does he treat you?"
A hint of awkwardness flashed across Wang Xi's face: "He... well... he's not bad to me."
It wasn't just "not bad"; Jiang Congyu treated her to the point of granting her every request.
If she was ever slightly upset, Jiang Congyu would immediately apologize to her in a humble voice, making her too embarrassed to lose her temper anymore.
Except for the fact that every time she met Zeng Pei, he would make sarcastic and sarcastic remarks to her.
She really couldn't find anything else wrong with it.
This was completely different from her previous stereotypes about him.
Now she's caught in a dilemma: she can't bring herself to hate him, and she's not sure if she likes him... but it's also...
It's quite complicated overall.
The two chatted for a while longer, had lunch, and then strolled around the streets for a bit before Jiang Congyu came looking for them.
Shen Tang whispered mischievously to Wang Xi, "It hasn't been that long, and you've already come looking for me so eagerly. You're sticking to me like glue."
Wang Xi blushed completely and glared at her, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
Shen Tang and Jiang Congyu were not very familiar with each other; when they met, they simply nodded to each other as a greeting.
Seeing that they were still shopping, Jiang Congyu wisely refrained from disturbing them and simply waited quietly to the side.
Wang Xi was more than seven months pregnant, and Shen Tang was worried that she might not be able to handle walking around for too long. After a while, he told her to go home and rest early and that they could meet up again next time.
Wang Xi was a little reluctant to part ways, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was such a rare opportunity to meet, and now they had to separate so soon.
However, her body was indeed not as healthy as when she was not pregnant, and she could not be willful for the sake of the child, so she had no choice but to agree.
As they parted, Wang Xi looked at Shen Tang with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Shen Tang sensed that she had something to say and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xi stood by the carriage for a moment, then stepped forward and pulled Shen Tang aside, whispering in her ear, "Shen Tang, do you still want to leave now?"
"If you want to leave, I can help you."
Ever since she learned that Shen Tang had been imprisoned, Wang Xi had been secretly searching for a martial arts master. As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and she actually found one.
But then came the news that she was pregnant.
Shen Tang wanted to leave before because she didn't have children, but now that she does, it's hard to guarantee that her thoughts won't change. Judging from her appearance just now, she must really like children.
So I've been struggling with whether or not to bring this up with her.
She had thought about it carefully again and decided to mention it to her. As for whether she wanted to stay with Meng Huaiyan or leave, she would respect her choice.
When Shen Tang heard Wang Xi say that she could help her leave, her previously calm heart suddenly started pounding wildly.
She naturally wanted to leave, but the thought of Meng Huaiyan's actions last time made her feel uneasy.
Wang Xi took her hand and said, "No rush, think it over carefully, and let me know when you've made up your mind."
Shen Tang was somewhat confused and could only nod subconsciously.
In the evening, Shen Tang was somewhat absent-minded while eating because she was thinking about this matter.
Upon learning this, Meng Huaiyan rushed over, asking with concern, "What happened? Did something occur?"
Shen Tang looked at his face, her expression somewhat complicated. She felt as if her heart was tightly bound by a thread, and although she wanted to break free, the force of the thread binding her caused her pain.
Shen Tang turned her face away: "It's nothing, I just don't have much of an appetite."
Meng Huaiyan naturally didn't believe she was really alright, but seeing that she was unwilling to talk about it, he didn't press her further.
Meng Huaiyan pulled her along: "How about I give you a gift to cheer you up?"
"What?"
Meng Huaiyan took out a bracelet from his pocket and put it on Shen Tang.
The bracelet felt a little cool when she put it on. Shen Tang glanced down and saw that it was a tortoiseshell bracelet inlaid with gold and jewels. The bracelet had intricate patterns and the pink and green jewels inlaid on it were arranged in a neat and orderly manner, making it look extremely beautiful on Shen Tang's fair wrist.
Seeing her happy expression, Meng Huaiyan couldn't help but feel pleased as well.
"I had this bracelet blessed by a master. It can protect you and Manman and keep you safe. Promise me you won't take it off, okay?"
Shen Tang has no resistance to beautiful things, and when she heard Meng Huaiyan say that it had been blessed to ensure safety, she had no objections and obediently nodded.
