Chapter 1169 The Tranquility Before the Nightmare
After learning from the phone that Gu Wanqiu was not feeling well today, Li Jinxing rushed home early and even put aside the important work.
When he came back, Gu Wanqiu had almost sorted out her emotions, and her complexion had obviously changed. Compared to noon, it had more color and was not so pale.
Gu Wanqiu was a little surprised to see Li Jinxing coming back early. She pretended to be calm and asked him with a smile, "Why are you back so early today? Didn't you say last night that you were busy today?"
I don't know why Li Jinxing is in such good spirits every day. Not only does he stay up late at night to handle work, but he also has to cook supper for her. Not only that, he also waits until she falls asleep and sneaks into her bedroom to see her. He gets up early the next morning to go to work as usual. Gu Wanqiu is considered to get up early after coming here. She will get up before eight o'clock. At that time, Li Jinxing is no longer at home. Usually, she, Si Yan and Si Xu have breakfast at eight o'clock, and there are only them.
"I heard you weren't feeling well today, so I came back early."
Gu Wanqiu put away the smile on her face: "Who told you that, Siyan?"
"No." Li Jinxing went over and put his arm around her shoulders, carefully looking at her face to make sure she was really unwell. As he looked, he answered, "The servant called me and said that you didn't get up for breakfast this morning and didn't get up until noon."
"Well, I've been under a lot of pressure from studying lately. I had a midnight snack last night and couldn't help but stay in bed for a long time. I'm not unwell, so don't listen to what my family says."
"Yeah, I'm glad you're okay."
Gu Wanqiu smiled again: "I'm sorry, I couldn't do it well.
Role model, Si Yan and Si Xu are at home, and I am still lying in bed in front of them."
"You sleep, what does it have to do with them? You study so much every day, you're already a good role model. It's good to take a break when you're tired. You can't always be on edge. Proper relaxation will make learning more efficient. Don't push yourself too hard. Your body is different from a child's."
When Gu Wanqiu heard the last sentence, her nerves jolted. She felt uncomfortable with Li Jinxing's caring tone, his scrutinizing gaze, the warmth from his body, even the smallest details like his breathing... everything about him made Gu Wanqiu feel uncomfortable and she wanted to avoid it.
"What's the difference?" Gu Wanqiu lowered his head, his tone slightly cold.
"There are many differences. You are an adult and they are a child. You are a woman and they are a boy. Your health is a little worse, while theirs is good. They have a strong metabolism every day and stronger resistance than you. At least they are not as afraid of cold as you, and their bodies are healthier than you." Li Jinxing gave examples one by one and did not notice the subtle differences in Gu Wanqiu.
Gu Wanqiu glared at him: "Am I useless? I'm unhealthy and afraid of everything. Not only am I in poor health, but I'm also quite old. Are you starting to dislike me?"
Li Jinxing almost cried out that he was wronged. He held Gu Wanqiu's hand. It was a simple action, but he did it very carefully, as if he was treating a butterfly that flew into his palm. If he held it too tightly, he was afraid that the butterfly would die, but if he held it too loosely, he was afraid that the butterfly would fly away.
His voice was soft, like today's weather, full of warmth, finally bringing some warmth to the foggy weather.
"You misunderstood me. I said all this just to prove to you that you and Si Yan and Si Xu
The difference between them is that they are boys with rough skin and flesh, while you are a precious crystal doll. Crystal is fragile, but very precious. Naturally, you are different from them."
These words were so corny that Gu Wanqiu, who had just had a stiff face, laughed awkwardly.
Gu Wanqiu gently pushed him away: "If Siyan hears you say that about him, he will say that you don't love him anymore."
"I love him, but he's nowhere near as good as you."
You love me, but you lied to me, hiding the child in my belly and trying to keep me captive. Your love is deceitful and impure. Is this still pure love? Li Jinxing, you love yourself more than you love me. You love your ambition and your possessiveness.
Gu Wanqiu was thinking about these things in her mind, but she had a smile on her face. One day and one night were enough for her to maintain her emotions and not reveal any clues to Li Jinxing.
Li Jinxing came back early today and the family had dinner together.
It's not too cold when the sun is out during the day, but the chill comes back at night. The weather in the south is humid. The clothes washed and dried in the washing machine were put on the balcony to dry. After three days, they still felt damp to the touch. Today, when the sun was out all day, the maid took them outside to dry.
Clothes dried in the sun are softer and more comfortable than those dried in the wind, and they seem to smell more fragrant.
Rich people have their own lifestyle. Their clothes are all washed by servants. The clothes that are taken off are classified into categories: some are washed, some are dry-cleaned, and some must be rubbed by hand. As for clothes that are difficult to dry, there are special machines for drying them.
Gu Wanqiu's clothes were not so particular, they were all cotton clothes, and she could just throw her clothes into the washing machine to wash them without handing them over to the servants.
Only those high-end ones that are strictly followed must be classified.
When Gu Wanqiu first came here, she really regarded herself as a servant here. She even took the initiative to wash Li Jinxing's clothes, throwing his custom-made shirt worth 50,000 yuan directly into the washing machine and washing it together with other clothes. After washing, the entire shirt was ruined, not only wrinkled but also stained.
Li Jinxing laughed at her at the time, saying that if he really hired her as a servant, he would probably go bankrupt. He also mocked her, saying that she was destined to be a princess. Wasn't this a subtle criticism of her, saying that she was good for nothing and could do nothing?
Gu Wanqiu was so ridiculed that she couldn't even raise her head. She thought to herself that if she behaved better, Li Jinxing might let her go early.
Now that he thought about it, Li Jinxing had never intended to let her go.
After that, whenever she wanted to do any housework at home, the servants would act like they were facing a big battle, either trying to grab the work or trying to persuade her. She didn't dare to do housework anymore and just stayed with her two children.
These were actually all secretly ordered by Li Jinxing. Although he said some harsh words during that period, he arranged everything around Gu Wanqiu.
In his eyes, Gu Wanqiu was not destined to do housework. He would rather do it himself than let her do it. She was destined to be a princess, and this was not an irony towards her.
Because in his heart, Gu Wanqiu is a princess, she has been since she was a child. Her hands should be used for painting, playing the piano, dancing... not for doing housework. Even now, she can't do these things, and she shouldn't do these rough work. She doesn't need to learn. If she can't do it, she won't do it.
There are many things to do in life. She can read books, go shopping, go to the beauty salon, and as long as he is there, she can even
Lying down and being a "salted fish"
Li Jinxing asked her if she wanted to have a midnight snack tonight. Gu Wanqiu gave her a strange look and said, "Ajin, did you forget that you have to take me to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow? If it's a full-body checkup, you can't have a midnight snack. You can't even drink water after 10 pm."
He was so worried that he actually forgot to take her to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup tomorrow.
"Look at my memory. I almost forgot about this. Can you bear the hunger?"
As usual, Gu Wanqiu put "losing weight" first: "What's there to be impatient about? I ate a lot tonight. If I'm really hungry in the middle of the night, I'll just think of it as burning fat and losing weight. I'll just have to endure it for one night and it will be over. I hope I can go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow and the doctor will tell me that I'm well and don't need to take medicine anymore." She kept looking at Li Jinxing's face as she said this.
Li Jinxing's face was probably made of a city wall, thick and hard. He didn't feel guilty at all because of what she said. He was used to lying and probably took her "illness" as a fact.
"Take your medicine and rest, and you'll be fine."
Gu Wanqiu said "hmm".
The two separated and went into their own rooms. Gu Wanqiu took the clothes that had just been dried today and went into the bathroom to wash up. She took off her clothes and looked at her abdomen. She tried to suck in her stomach and moved it. It was still bulging and not concave.
That's right... I'm four months pregnant, and there are already a lot of internal organs in my stomach. Now there's an extra piece of meat, so it's bulging out. This extra "meat" cannot be sucked in just by breathing.
Gu Wanqiu stared at her belly and stretched out her hand
He poked his finger twice and muttered to himself, "I'm going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. I hope you'll be obedient and stop moving around. Just bear with it for a few more days..."
