Xu Wan was both amused and exasperated by the man's words, and could only drink the soup. "Then our baby will definitely be thoroughly examined."
"A comprehensive evaluation naturally includes whether he treats his wife well. If he can't even be a competent husband, he won't be a competent father either." Jiang Tingzhou ladled another spoonful of soup over and asked, "Is it good?"
"It's delicious. Did Aunt Ling... Mom make it herself?"
Xu Wan is not yet used to calling Ling Ya "Mom".
"No, it must have been made by the nanny who has worked in our family for decades. That auntie is an excellent cook. If you like today's dishes, please have her come to our house and cook for us every day."
Jiang Tingzhou continued talking, but his hands didn't stop; he continued feeding Xu Wan.
After Xu Wan finished her soup, Jiang Tingzhou, citing her neck injury, continued to feed her vegetables.
Of the food Lingya brought, only some soup remained, because Xu Wan simply couldn't finish it.
After lunch, Xu Wan looked at the man packing his things and asked helplessly, "How long am I going to stay in the hospital? If I eat like this every day, I won't be able to fit into any clothes when I go back to work."
Xu always wears business suits to work in the evenings, and the skirt size is just right.
I've gained too much weight; I probably really won't be able to wear it anymore.
"The doctor said that even if you have a miscarriage this month, you still need to have a 'mini-confinement' period and rest for at least half a month. You'll be staying in the hospital for a week, and I plan to use this time to move your things from the house to the new house. Once you're discharged, we'll go straight to the new house."
"Moving...?"
Jiang Tingzhou vaguely guessed Xu Wan's concerns and said, "I will reorganize the house. I asked Ning Hang to put away all the things we bought before. We can buy more if we need them later."
Everything they bought for the new house was for their unborn baby.
Jiang Tingzhou was worried that Xu Wan would insist on being discharged from the hospital, so he called Ning Hang in the morning and asked him to come to the house to pick up his things first, because he was afraid that Xu Wan would be saddened again if she saw them.
"Okay, then I'll stay in the hospital for a week before being discharged." Xu Wan didn't want to make things difficult for Jiang Tingzhou, but she still made a small request, "Could you please bring me my computer and the laptop on the table? That way I can work when I have time."
"No problem, I'll bring it to you after get off work tomorrow at noon."
Jiang Tingzhou agreed.

On Monday morning, Jiang Tingzhou went to the company for a meeting first, and then went to Tianyuan Law Firm to help Xu Wan pack up her computer.
Su Qiong happened to see him when he arrived.
"President Jiang, I heard about Xu Wan's situation from my brother. She should rest well and doesn't need to rush to work."
Su Qiong, as Xu Wan's direct superior, was the first to express her opinion.
"Thanks."
Jiang Tingzhou thanked him briefly and continued tidying up his computer.
Su Qiong glanced at Jiang Tingzhou out of the corner of her eye.
The man's expression was cold and stern, as if nothing else, no one else, was worth his attention except for helping his wife get her computer.
Su Qiong sometimes really wondered if Xu Wan, this little girl, had some kind of magic.
A straight man like Jiang Tingzhou, who only cares about work, becomes a completely different person when it comes to her.
It's like turning steel into silk.
However, Su Qiong dared not say it.
Jiang Tingzhou packed up his computer and laptop, said goodbye to Su Qiong, and then left.
He had just gotten back into his car when his phone rang.
An Yunya's name was displayed on the screen.
Jiang Tingzhou hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.
"President Jiang, I'm about to return to China and I'm planning a welcome banquet. After I get back, I'll be starting work at Anjia, so I created a WeChat group and plan to invite all my friends who have a good relationship with Anjia. Right now, you're the only one in the group who hasn't confirmed whether you're attending. I know you're busy, so I called to ask you specifically if you'll be coming to my welcome banquet."
An Yunya's voice was gentle as water, yet it concealed a dangerous undercurrent of ill intent.
