Chapter 176 Extra: Mom, why are you here?

"Mom, I'm Xixi."

Ye Muqi rested for a long time. She didn't know if the medicine prescribed by the hospital took effect, but she felt better.

She then remembered that she had not yet informed her family about her pregnancy. Thinking that it was noon time, she called Xia Ying.

"Hey! Are you missing mom?" Xia Ying smiled as soon as she received Ye Muqi's call. "What's the matter?"

"Well... Mom, I'm pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, and I've been pregnant for more than a month." Ye Muqi said with a smile, sharing the good news.

"Ah, really?" Xia Ying was surprised and happy on the other end of the phone, "That's great!"

After waiting for two years, Xia Ying finally heard the news, and a huge stone in her heart finally fell.

"Xixi, you've only been pregnant for over a month. You have to be extra careful and pay attention when doing things. Don't bump into anything. Also, Liwen is fine in the store. Just leave everything to her and don't worry about it. Just stay at home and take care of the baby." Xia Ying kept nagging on the phone, and she was very worried about Ye Muxi.

Ye Muqi agreed to all of them. After all, Xia Ying had given birth to a child and had some experience in this area.

"After a while, your father and I will take some time off and come to see you." Xia Ying continued.

She wished she could go to Ye Muqi's side immediately, but she and Ye Zhengfeng both had jobs and could not just leave. If there was anything, they had to ask for leave.

"Mom, I can handle this, you don't have to worry about me." Ye Muqi comforted her.

Although she missed Xia Ying very much, she didn't want to delay Xia Ying and Ye Zhengfeng's work because of her own affairs.

After chatting with Xia Ying for a while, Ye Muqi hung up the phone and called Yin Lan again.

The chain store she currently runs in Bada Town is managed by Yin Lan. In order to run the store better, Yin Lan had previously hired several chefs and sent them to Beijing to have Ye Muqi teach them for a month. The chefs only returned after they had become apprentices.

Compared to Xia Ying, Yin Lan has much more free time.

"Pregnant?" Yin Lan was stunned and a little surprised when she heard the news.

"Well, I went to the hospital for a check-up and it's only been over a month." Ye Muqi said.

Yin Lan also said a few words to Ye Muqi, but Yin Lan seemed to be very busy and hung up the phone after a while.

Ye Muqi thought that the things that needed to be notified had already been notified, so he didn't pay too much attention to it and went to the kitchen to cook some wontons for himself.

Although I still felt a little nauseous after eating just a few, at least I had something in my stomach.

Hopefully her baby won’t go hungry.

…

Bada Town

After receiving Ye Muqi's call, Yin Lan quickly arranged everything in the store, gave the deputy store manager a lot of instructions, and then immediately went to the train station to buy a ticket.

She went home to pack her things and boarded a train to Beijing before dawn the next day. She arrived in Beijing that evening and took a taxi to her family compound.

"Who?"

It was around seven o'clock in the evening. Ye Muqi had just finished taking a shower when he heard a knock on the door. He was wondering who would come so late.

When I opened the door, Yin Lan was standing at the door carrying her luggage.

"?" Yin Lan had just called yesterday, and she arrived the next evening. Ye Muqi was stunned standing at the door, shocked by Yin Lan's speed.

If she had made the call a day earlier, Yin Lan might have arrived last night.

"This is your first time pregnant, and I'm worried that you have no experience. Besides, pregnancy is hard and requires care. I thought Jingchen had to go to the army during the day and couldn't take care of you, and I had nothing to do at home, so I came over to take care of you." Yin Lan explained as she pulled Ye Muqi into the house.

Her eyes swept over Ye Muqi's flat belly. It was only a little over a month now, and it was not yet time for her to show her pregnancy. She didn't look like she was pregnant at all.

"?" Rong Jingchen came out of the shower and was a little surprised to see Yin Lan sitting in the living room.

However, after learning that she was here to take care of Ye Muqi, Rong Jingchen felt relieved. Now seeing that Ye Muqi always couldn't eat, he was also worried about letting Ye Muqi stay at home alone.

"Mom, now that you're here, what about the restaurant at home?" Ye Muqi came back to her senses and was most concerned about the business.

"Everything has been arranged, don't worry. Besides, the business in the store is pretty good. Your craftsmanship is popular no matter where you are!" Yin Lan said.

Following Ye Muqi in opening the restaurant in Bada Town, Yin Lan earned a lot more than before. She worried about the restaurant business just as much as Ye Muqi did.

"How are you? I didn't ask you on the phone. Is your reaction serious?" Yin Lan looked at Ye Muqi, concerned about her physical condition.

Without waiting for Ye Muqi to say anything, Rong Jingchen told Yin Lan about Ye Muqi's recent reactions.

"Although morning sickness is normal, you can't not eat. You still have to eat something. Eat when you are hungry, eat less, and stop if you feel uncomfortable." Yin Lan looked at Ye Muqi with heartache in her eyes.

The reaction of morning sickness is indeed very painful. It was not easy for her when she first hugged Rong Jingchen. She could share some of her experiences with Ye Muqi.

Yin Lan stayed in the second bedroom.

With Yin Lan coming over, Rong Jingchen started bringing his own lunch again, but this lunch was made by Yin Lan.

But with her arrival, Rong Jingchen felt much more at ease in the army during the day.

"Xixi, how do you feel today? Do you want to go out for a walk?" Yin Lan asked Ye Muxi who had just woken up.

Ye Muqi didn't have to get up early now. She could sleep until she woke up naturally in the morning. Yin Lan didn't call her. She went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her after she woke up.

Yin Lan made a bowl of fish soup noodles. It didn't smell fishy at all and the soup was milky white. Ye Muqi ate half a bowl and stopped eating because he felt uncomfortable.

Ye Muqi's pregnancy reactions are improving day by day, and are much better than the first two days when she couldn't eat anything.

"Well... let's go out for a walk." Ye Muqi nodded, feeling bored staying at home all the time.

After Yin Lan finished packing, she took a thermos bottle filled with hot water and then took Ye Muqi out to the city center.

In this era, there are no large shopping malls, but there are department stores that sell a wide variety of goods.

The two of them walked around in the department store.

But Ye Muqi has his own supermarket space, and usually gets his daily necessities from the supermarket space. He has never properly shopped in a department store.

"Can pregnant women use this vanishing cream?" Ye Muqi was curious about everything, especially after seeing the skin care products of this era, she suddenly stopped.

Snow cream, I have heard of it in later generations. Ye Muqi is quite curious about it and wants to try it.

"It's OK." The salesperson nodded.

Seeing that Ye Muqi liked it, Yin Lan took one and prepared to pay.

"Buy two." Ye Muqi picked up another one and paid the bill before Yin Lan.

After buying them, Ye Muqi handed one to Yin Lan.

"Mom, one for each of us." Ye Muqi said with a smile.
