She hasn't been eating anything for the past few days.
Qi Jingchen answered first.
"You don't want to eat anything? You're already having symptoms so early?"
"Yes, I didn't want to eat anything, I just wanted to sleep. It was because I wasn't eating much that I found out I was pregnant."
Qi Jingchen recounted her reactions over the past two days, hoping that Qin Jing and Qin Qingwan could guide him on how to improve.
"It's alright. The embryo can't absorb much nutrition yet. If you don't want to eat, that's fine. Don't force yourself."
Qin Jing waved her hand, saying it was no big deal. She said that when many women in families got pregnant, many people would force them to eat under the guise of doing what was best for the child.
Eating like this will upset the pregnant woman, and if she's already unable to eat, forcing her to eat will only make her vomit, which is even worse for her health.
Qi Jingchen listened attentively, taking notes in his mind, and also asked some other questions.
"You two can come down for dinner whenever you have free time. Don't worry too much about meals."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Liu."
"Hey, no need to thank me. I've been researching pregnancy recipes these past few days to make sure you get balanced nutrition without gaining weight."
"There's no need to eat too much as soon as you get pregnant. Decades ago, because conditions were poor and people were often malnourished, pregnant women were encouraged to eat more. Now that living standards are better, people want everyone to be overnourished, so there's no need to eat too much or take supplements."
"Okay, I understand."
Qi Jingchen learned a lot about taking care of pregnant women during his visit today. Seeing how attentive Qi Jingchen was, Qin Jing and Qin Qingwan were very satisfied with him.
"You're usually busy, and Fufu is with me at work every day, so you don't need to worry about her."
"Mom, Fufu's pregnancy will be tough, I want to make her feel more comfortable."
"After you've done all this, she'll definitely feel better."
"Yes, I am quite content. I have enough to eat and drink every day and have no worries."
Qin Zifu was not a very emotional person to begin with; she had a peaceful temperament and her emotions were very stable every day.
Many people with bad tempers may have a yin deficiency constitution, making them prone to holding in their anger, which may lead to liver qi stagnation. Everyone's constitution is different, and different symptoms will appear.
She has a good constitution, so she has a good mood, good skin, and good health every day.
Although pregnancy is affected by hormones, it shouldn't make a huge difference.
Besides, given Qi Jingchen's personality, there's nothing that could make her angry or depressed.
"What flavors has Fufu been liking lately? Aunt Liu really needs to go cook."
"Sweet, sour, or spicy is fine, but I can't eat fish."
Qi Jingchen knew her tastes perfectly.
"I suddenly have a craving for a bowl of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste), preferably with toon sprouts and cucumber shreds in it."
"Toona sinensis? That's out of season, it'll probably be hard to find. I'll go to the supermarket and check."
"It's okay, I'm not going. It's fine if I don't go. Just having noodles with soybean paste is fine too."
She just said it casually, that it's hard to buy Chinese toon now.
"Okay, that's settled then. But let's not eat the big crabs that were just delivered today, shall we?"
"I won't eat it. I'll take it to the family compound and share it with the old neighbors."
Every year when the crabs are at their fattest, people send them crabs, but they don't eat many. They only eat one each at lunchtime, and they dip it in ginger juice, which Qin Jing thinks is too cold.
Now that Qin Zifu is pregnant, she's even less likely to be allowed to eat it.
Qin Zifu didn't care, since she didn't want to eat it anyway.
"Okay, I'm free this afternoon, I'll deliver it while it's still fresh."
"Grandpa, you want to go play chess soon, right?"
"If I don't play chess for a few days, I'll easily lose to them; I need to practice regularly."
"Fufu, what else would you like to eat? Take a look."
Qi Jingchen handed her his phone and saw that there were toon leaves in the shopping cart. He opened the app and checked the backend. He had looked through several food ordering apps and figured that this was probably the only one that had them, since toon leaves were hard to find this season.
She added asparagus and mushrooms, a box of cherries, and a small jar of mango-flavored cake, then returned them to Qi Jingchen.
"Gu Dining hasn't returned?"
"No, I haven't seen him for several days. He's been so busy he's never home."
"Hey, it's still better than being out there. I feel more at ease even if I can't see you when I come back."
Gu Dining had just finished dealing with the Yao family case, which uncovered a supply chain that supplied goods to wealthy people and involved several cities.
Therefore, it is conceivable how great the obstacles to this case will be, with even people in high positions exerting pressure both openly and covertly.
However, Gu Dining defied all objections and did not care who had a higher status. To him, how high could a higher status really be?
Gu Zhengji's intention was also to dig to the bottom, so everyone said that Gu Dining had a tough hand and made a contribution as soon as he returned.
So he hadn't seen Xu Yuan during this time. Fortunately, Xu Yuan had joined the crew before Qin Zifu's wedding, and she even had to take leave to attend the wedding. Her crew was very strict, and she wouldn't have been able to get away if it weren't for attending the Qi family's wedding.
Having finally gotten a day off, she drove her assistant's car to Gu Dining's base.
"Hey, I'm at your base entrance, come out here."
"Why did you come here?"
"What do you think? Didn't you say you wouldn't answer the phone?"
"...If I don't answer the phone, I'm busy."
"Come out, or I'll go inside."
"Wait"
Gu Dining hung up the phone and left the office.
"Is Captain Gu going out?"
"Yes, I'm going out for a bit. Call me if you need anything."
"yes"
"Why is Captain Gu rushing out like this? Is something wrong?"
"I don't know, it's a private matter."
"You're so stupid for not asking about my private affairs."
Why would I pry into private matters? Is that even considered a private matter?
"...No problem."
When Gu Dining went out, he looked around and saw a black car. Xu Yuan rolled down the window and waved to him.
"Your car?"
Gu Dining opened the passenger door and got in.
"Assistant"
"Quite smart"
"It's alright."
"Did you need something?"
"That's going too far, Gu Dining. You know I like you, right?"
"..."
"you do not know?"
Xu Yuan turned her head to look at him, leaned forward, and the woman's fragrance rushed into his nostrils.
"Know"
"So tell me, why did I contact you?"
"Didn't I already say it's not suitable?"
"Because of our professions? Then I can retire from the industry."
"Need not"
He knew that Xu Yuan really liked her job, otherwise she wouldn't have given up being the eldest daughter of the Xu family to work so hard filming. Besides, could he be so selfish?
"Then what do you suggest we do? Do you like me?"
Gu Dining didn't speak; he wasn't good at discussing these things, so he simply kept quiet.
"He's not saying anything."
Suddenly, Xu Yuan leaned forward and pressed her sexy red lips against his. Gu Dining didn't move, not because he didn't react, but because if he wanted to dodge, he would probably have already gotten out of the car and walked to the entrance of the base.
Why didn't you hide this time?
"Hiding is pointless."
Holding her neck, he took the initiative and deepened the kiss. A look of surprise appeared in Xu Yuan's eyes, then she closed her eyes and finally got to kiss him as she wished.
"Satisfied?"
"Satisfied! I knew I had to come find you."
"You contacted me just for a kiss?"
Isn't a kiss enough?
"You don't ask for much."
"Then I'd like to ask for a little more, can you grant my request?"
Tell me about it.
I want to date you.
"Aren't you afraid of being photographed? Aren't you all usually very careful when you're dating?"
"I'm not afraid. Fans these days are very rational. As long as you have a good relationship, pay your taxes, and don't sleep with people you shouldn't, everyone will be very tolerant."
"Is that so? All in one set?"
He didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but he had heard Qin Zifu mention some things before, such as which idol was photographed in a relationship, and how fans collectively unfollowed them or turned against them.
"Yeah, so how about we start a relationship?"
Xu Yuan asked casually, but this man is too difficult to deal with. She is a beautiful woman standing in front of him, yet he remains unmoved.
"Can"
"Um?"
"Are you dumbfounded? Or dissatisfied with the result?"
"My sister said, 'I'm incredibly charming, how could I not win you over?'"
"Take me down? You've got some nerve."
"You've got some nerve, haven't you?"
"Otherwise what?"
Xu Yuan looked at him with her peach blossom eyes, smiled gently, and said nothing.
