"Wanwan, Zimu is here. Are you up?"
Lin Wanwan was awakened by the knocking on the door. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the curtains of Wuli were drawn tightly, and Lu Feng was nowhere to be seen.
"Auntie, I'll get up right away. Please bring her over."
The aunt immediately responded when she heard her reply.
I had just finished washing up when I heard my aunt knocking on the door.
Why did you come so early?
Li Zimu looked at the person who hadn't had time to change clothes and said, "It's still early? Miss, it's almost ten o'clock now."
"Isn't it early? I sleep until I naturally wake up during my holidays."
Lin Wanwan changed her clothes, and the aunt brought in breakfast.
“Your mom said you should eat something, you can eat a little later at noon, Zimu should eat something too, I brought a lot.”
Li Zimu stood up and thanked him.
Lin Wanwan was already used to it.
"Okay, Auntie. Zimu likes braised pork and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. Make some for lunch."
The aunt nodded quickly, "I'll have them go buy groceries now."
Lin Wanwan invited Li Zimu to eat with her.
"You eat, I've already had breakfast."
Lin Wanwan gave her a strange look. "Why are you being so polite? Just eat whatever you like. I'll make whatever you like for lunch later."
Li Zimu looked at the table full of exquisite and abundant pastries.
"Now I finally understand why you always seem so relaxed."
Looking at Lin Wanwan drinking orange juice, he said, "Your mother-in-law is so good, your husband loves you, your child is so cute, and you make so much money. If you don't have it easy, who will?"
"You came all this way just to envy me? Did my godmother bully you? Does my brother not love you? Or is he mistreating you? Does he not have money for you to spend?"
Li Zimu realized that what he said might have been a bit problematic, and blushed as he explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Mom is very good to me, and so is Brother Bei."
"So what exactly do you want to say, coming to me so early in the morning to complain?"
Li Zimu blushed and whispered after a long while, "I'm pregnant."
Lin Wanwan, who was eating, didn't hear her clearly, so she turned her head to look at her and asked again, "What did you say?"
Li Zimu blushed even more. "I'm pregnant."
Lin Wanwan immediately put down her chopsticks and looked at her stomach. "You're pregnant? Why didn't you say so sooner? Is there anything on this table that you can't eat?"
"No, no, I asked the doctor. Except for a few special foods that are not good for pregnant women, everything else is fine to eat."
Lin Wanwan glanced at the table. "These are crab roe xiaolongbao. You probably shouldn't eat them. You didn't eat any, did you?"
"No, I only ate this snack."
"This is a red bean pastry, it's edible. Do you want anything else? Is there anything you particularly want to eat? I'll ask Auntie to buy it. Have you told my brother? And my godmother? And my grandparents?"
Li Zimu shook his head.
"It's okay. After lunch, I'll go shopping with you to buy things for pregnancy, then I'll take you home, and we'll talk afterwards."
Li Zimu stared blankly at the pastries on the table.
Lin Wanwan noticed that something was wrong with her mood and hesitated before asking, "What's wrong? Don't you want it?"
Li Zimu immediately waved his hand, "No, I'm just a little nervous. Do you think your brother would like children? And I'm so busy with work, is it okay if I get pregnant?"
“What’s wrong with that? Even if things don’t go well, my brother will back you up. Didn’t you see how much my brother loves Tuanzi and Yuanyuan? He definitely loves your child even more.”
Lin Wanwan patted her shoulder, "Don't you know how good my godparents are after living with them for so long?"
"I know, that's not what I meant."
"So you're afraid they only like children and not you?"
Li Zimu blushed and remained silent.
"You don't need to worry. You can tell that no matter how much they like Tuanzi and Yuanyuan, they can't surpass me. They're not that kind of people."
Do you think Mom and Dad prefer a boy or a girl?
"As long as it's a child you two have, you'll love both boys and girls, so you don't need to worry about these things at all."
Li Zimu looked up at her, "You know my family situation. My parents are very sexist and prefer sons to daughters. When my parents came to propose marriage, I thought that Bei Ge and I wouldn't be able to get married. Fortunately..."
Li Zimu choked up a little.
"Then you should be even more at ease. Over the years, how much my brother has protected you in your family, how much my godparents value you, can't you feel it? They really treat you like their own daughter. Your dowry is still in your hands, right? They haven't asked you for a single penny, have they?"
Li Zimu nodded, "My parents also give me pocket money, as do my grandparents."
"Then what are you worried about? They just feel sorry for you because of your difficult family background, and that's why they want to treat you better. They don't discriminate against girls. Whether you give birth to a boy or a girl, they will love you."
"Wanwan, am I being a little dramatic?"
Lin Wanwan nodded, "A little, but they're still far from being as good as me."
Looking into Li Zimu's bright eyes, Lin Wanwan continued, "I know that your pregnancy is causing hormonal fluctuations that can make you emotionally unstable, but don't worry, they will definitely take good care of you. Your worries are not a problem."
