Meanwhile, Yan, the exceptionally good man who belonged to Zhu Qianying, excitedly brought back the Yan family home with Zhu Qianying's favorite snacks and stew when Zhu Qianying had finished lunch and was feeling a little sleepy.
In fact, in Zhu Qianying's mind, the most delicious snacks were those made by her mother, Chen Jing, and the soup she liked to drink the most was a pot of chicken soup that her mother personally stewed.
When Yan Shao returned from Yanhuang Group, he was going to pass by Jingjing Restaurant anyway, so it only took him about an hour from the time he called back to the time he got home.
After finishing lunch, Yan Bo and his wife sat for a while before taking a nap. At this time, only Zhu Qianying was left in the living room, aimlessly flipping through TV channels with the remote control.
Yan Shao walked out of the entrance hall carrying a bag of food and drinks, and saw Zhu Qianying yawning sleepily in front of the TV.
"Why don't you go to sleep if you're sleepy?"
As he spoke, he strode over.
Zhu Qianying got up to greet him, took the items from his hands, and snuggled up to him, holding his arm.
"Waiting for your snacks and soup!"
Yan Shao supported her waist and led her to sit down on the sofa, looking at her with concern.
"Didn't you eat enough for lunch?"
Zhu Qianying naturally wouldn't say she was full. Putting aside whether he was being overly nervous, she felt embarrassed to waste the thought that he had specially come all the way from Yanhuang to show his appreciation.
"Hmm, I've been thinking about your snacks and soup! By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Yan Shao usually eats at noon every day, but judging from the current time, he probably hasn't had time to eat yet.
"Yes, I didn't eat." Young Master Yan answered honestly.
"Then let's eat together!"
Without Zhu Qianying giving any instructions, Uncle Hai had already asked the kitchen to heat up the food when he saw the young master return, and it was served at that moment.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere today? Perhaps I should hire a healthcare professional to take care of your daily needs."
Yan Shao held the soup, but didn't rush to drink it.
Ever since he learned last night that Zhu Qianying was pregnant, he has been in a state of constant anxiety and uncertainty.
"You're being too anxious. This isn't my first pregnancy, and I know my body very well. I don't need any of those health care specialists you mentioned. I can manage on my own with a little care!"
Zhu Qianying was genuinely afraid that Young Master Yan would find a health care specialist, which would cause her a lot of trouble!
After thinking it over, Yan Shao finished lunch and finally made a phone call, asking an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to come and examine Zhu Qianying.
The appointment with the traditional Chinese medicine doctor was at four o'clock in the afternoon. After finishing lunch, Yan Shao wanted to stay home with his wife, so he called Qin Xiu.
"I won't be going back this afternoon. Call me if anything urgent comes up."
The implication is that you should make your own decisions and try not to call me.
Qin Xiu and everyone in the Yanhuang Group had just received a 5% mid-year bonus. At this point, even if Young Master Yan said he wouldn't go back in the afternoon, or even if he said he wouldn't go back for a week, Qin Xiu probably wouldn't complain.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll keep an eye on things here. You can stay home and keep Shadow company!"
Yan Shao lay on the bed with Zhu Qianying, his hand on her waist, gently massaging it.
"I heard that back pain is common during pregnancy, is that true?"
Actually, those are symptoms of the later stages, and not everyone experiences them.
"It's only been a little over a month now, so I don't feel anything yet. When I'm six or seven months pregnant, my belly will get bigger and put pressure on my lumbar spine, which might cause pain. But when I was pregnant with Zai Zai, I basically didn't feel anything."
Zhu Qianying rarely brought up her pregnancy with her son, but now that she was talking about it, Yan Shao listened with great interest.
"It seems that little thing really cares about you!"
Zhu Qianying nodded, recalling what Old Madam Yan had said during dinner, and couldn't help but tease him.
"Of course, if I were as mischievous as you, I would be in trouble."
Yan Shao laughed, "It must be that my mother is talking bad about me again. I can't help it. When my mother was pregnant with me, she was already thirty-nine years old. Even if I behave myself, her body still couldn't take it."
Yan Shao defended himself verbally, while his hand moved from her waist to the front, gently massaging her stomach.
Did you eat too much just now?
Zhu Qianying has always had a good appetite, and these days, her appetite has been noticeably better than before.
Young Master Yan doesn't mind if she eats a lot, he's just worried that her stomach can't handle it.
"It's alright, I've always been a big eater!"
She has never been able to resist delicious food, and in these special times, she is even more unrestrained.
"Was it like this when you were pregnant with your son?"
Yan Shao's hand moved from her stomach outwards; she had clearly been eating more lately, but hadn't gained much weight.
"Yes, I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. My mom just thought I was in a bad mood and was eating a lot. She even suggested that I see a psychologist."
Zhu Qianying still finds it funny when she talks about what happened back then.
"Because you have a good appetite, you were able to give birth to an eight-pound baby boy."
Yan Shao remembers everything that Zhu Qianying mentions about Zizai.
"Yeah, back then I thought, this kid is so fat, I wonder if he'll grow up to be a chubby kid. I never expected him to actually become a chubby kid."
Actually, strictly speaking, Vic Zhou isn't exactly fat now; he's just a bit more chubby than he was in the US before.
Furthermore, he has extremely handsome features. When he was thinner, he appeared more aloof and handsome, but now that he's a bit more chubby, he looks cuter and more adorable.
Yan Shao moved his hand to her lower abdomen, where it remained flat as usual.
"Don't let him get too fat this time, six pounds is about right," Young Master Yan said as if he knew a lot.
"Why? Actually, I think eight pounds is acceptable."
Zhu Qianying, however, didn't care. Being a little chubby was fine; chubby kids were cuter and more pleasing to the eye.
"Oh no, why does the girl have to be so fat?"
Yan Shao's serious expression made Zhu Qianying burst out laughing.
"Who says it has to be a girl? It might be another brat!"
“I said it’s a girl, so it’s a girl. I like girls.” Young Master Yan’s domineering nature was on full display again. “Moreover, this girl can’t be like me; she must be like you.”
Zhu Qianying found it increasingly amusing. "Young Master Yan, do you think you're making a little doll out of dough? You can have a girl if you want her to be a girl, and she can look like me if you want her to look like me!"
"Anyway, my intuition is always right!"
Young Master Yan completely ignored Zhu Qianying's teasing and stubbornly insisted on his own ideas.
Zhu Qianying also reached out and touched her lower abdomen, speaking in a high-pitched voice.
"Daddy, I feel so much pressure!"
Young Master Yan placed his large palm on the back of her hand, "Baby, it's okay. No matter how much pressure you're under, Daddy will help you bear it!"
Zhu Qianying knew that wanting a girl was Yan Shao's beautiful wish, but even if they had a son, he would love him just like he loved his son.
