This New Year, Lin Xuqiu stayed at the Lin family so that the elders could take care of her and share their experience in pregnancy.
Lin Xuqiu is in good condition now. She snuggles in Wen Yanci's arms, and the two sit on the sofa watching a show.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Zhizhi outside the door asked softly.
"Xuqiu, can mom come in?"
Lin Xuqiu got up from the man's arms, tidied up her slightly messy hair, and then agreed to Chen Zhizhi outside.
"Mom, you can come in now."
Chen Zhizhi was holding a tray with a bowl of ginger milk and some fruits to relieve morning sickness on it, and she was smiling kindly.
"Xuqiu, Mom prepared this ginger milk for you. It's very effective for relieving morning sickness. Come and try it."
Lin Xuqiu took the bowl of ginger milk obediently, scooped a spoonful into her mouth, and frowned slightly for a moment, but she was able to swallow it.
"Mom, this doesn't taste good."
"The ginger smell is indeed a bit strong, but it's very effective in relieving morning sickness. Just bear with it for a while."
Lin Xuqiu ate the ginger milk obediently while Wen Yanci watched from the side.
Chen Zhizhi suddenly looked at Wen Yanci next to her and spoke.
"Yan Ci, I have something personal to say to Xu Qiu. Why don't you go downstairs and play chess with Xu Qiu's father first?"
Wen Yanci looked at Lin Xuqiu and asked for her opinion.
Lin Xuqiu nodded and signaled him to go out with his eyes.
Wen Yanci politely left the room after receiving her signal.
Chen Zhizhi sat next to her daughter and spoke earnestly.
"Xuqiu, luckily your health is better than mine, so your morning sickness isn't as severe as it was when I was pregnant with you."
"But no matter what, you have to take good care of yourself throughout your pregnancy and don't do anything rash, especially in the first three months."
Lin Xuqiu nodded, not quite understanding.
"Yan Ci and I understand all of this. Don't worry. No matter what happens, wait until the baby is three months old and my morning sickness is over before we do it."
Chen Zhizhi frowned, looking embarrassed, but continued to persuade.
"Xuqiu, three months of pregnancy doesn't mean safety. As the father of the child and your husband, shouldn't Yan Ci exercise some restraint? And you shouldn't let him do whatever he wants."
Only then did Lin Xuqiu understand what his mother meant, and smiled helplessly.
"Mom, you misunderstood. Yan Ci loves me very much and would definitely not do anything rash. I just thought you were talking about work, so I said I would return to work after the baby is three months old."
Now, Chen Zhizhi was even more worried.
"Xu Qiu, can't you take a year off before returning to work?"
Lin Xuqiu was not so cautious about this and said it frankly.
"It depends on my physical condition. If the morning sickness subsides, I don't want to go into pregnancy mode so quickly. Besides, I just debuted, so I definitely can't stop working so soon. I think it would be cool to go on stage with two babies..."
Listening to her daughter getting more and more excited, Chen Zhizhi frowned even more and advised.
"Xuqiu, you're being ridiculous! Not to mention how dangerous this behavior is, if your in-laws knew about it, the rift between you would definitely deepen."
Lin Xuqiu's face darkened slightly, he pursed his lips and said with a guilty conscience.
"Mom, I plan to let Yanci's parents know about my pregnancy when I'm in the late stages of my pregnancy and staying at home to take care of the baby."
"Because I know without having to guess, Yanci's mother will definitely not let me continue working and will impose many restrictions on me, so I don't want them to know I'm pregnant too early."
Chen Zhizhi felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, she felt that her daughter shouldn't do this, and on the other hand, she blamed her mother-in-law for hurting her daughter last time. After thinking for a moment, she finally tried to persuade her.
"Xuqiu, since you want to live a good life with Yanci, you definitely can't get past his mother. You still have to inform them about this. Otherwise, the rift will only get deeper and deeper, and you'll be the one who suffers in the end."
Chen Zhizhi thought about her relationship with her mother-in-law and felt unsure about what she was saying.
I didn't expect that my daughter is not liked by my mother-in-law just like me. It's such a sin.
Seeing Chen Zhizhi’s sad face, Lin Xuqiu felt helpless.
"Mom, just let it be. The conflict between Yanci's mother and I can't be resolved with a simple compromise. Besides, she's in England visiting her best friend and will be traveling around Europe later. She won't be back in the short term."
"As for what I just said about taking the baby on stage, it's just a plan. I may not actually do it. I will make my own judgment based on my physical condition at the time. I will definitely not harm myself or the baby."
Chen Zhizhi felt a little relieved. She didn't want to restrict her daughter in every way, so she had to compromise in the end. She stopped persuading her and let her have a good rest.

After Wen Yanci left the room, he met Zhou Cheng at the corner of the corridor. The two looked at each other, and he continued walking down without any intention of greeting Zhou Cheng.
He had just walked down a few stairs when he heard Zhou Cheng's low voice behind him.
"Brother-in-law, let's talk."
Wen Yanci stopped, looked back at Zhou Cheng, and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
"good."
The two came to the Lin family's garden pavilion.
Zhou Cheng still had a gloomy expression, which was in stark contrast to the calm Wen Yanci.
He looked at Wen Yanci and spoke directly.
"I call you my brother-in-law because of Xuqiu, but I'm actually not satisfied with you. You didn't protect Xuqiu well at all."
Wen Yanci's eyes darkened, and then he chuckled.
"Zhou Cheng, you and Xu Qiu are not related by blood, and you didn't grow up together. Do you think I would believe that you have such a deep brother-sister relationship with Xu Qiu?"
Zhou Cheng's expression grew even darker as he retorted.
"Wen Yanci, what do you mean?"
"Do you need to question the relationship between me and my sister?"
