Chapter 108: How long do I have to stay in this ‘confinement period’?
He is a rare visitor.
When we got married, we agreed to have our own fun, but after marriage she became like a little wife, never leaving the house and rarely getting together with her brothers.
Now suddenly appear here.
Liu Heng took the initiative to end the conversation he had just had with Xie Siyan and greeted him, "How come you have time to come out?"
Zhou Xu glanced at Xie Siyan slightly.
Seeing that the other party had no other emotions, he relaxed and sat down next to them. "Isn't it okay to think about your friends?"
This statement is a bit forced.
But he had already sat down, and the two people present had no reason to refuse.
The bartender quickly placed a glass of wine in front of him, similar to the one the other two had. Zhou Xu took a big sip and asked casually, "How are the preparations for Si Yan's engagement party going?"
-
The next day.
Xie Siyan received a call from Ji Ruqing.
On the phone, she analyzed Mu Jia's blood test results in detail, and combined them with the pulse diagnosis to explain to him the hormone levels, AMH values, thyroid function, etc., as well as the meaning behind the data.
Finally, she added, "But looking at the numbers alone isn't enough."
There was the soft rustling of papers on the other end of the line; she seemed to be checking records. "I took her pulse the other day. The left Guan pulse was thin and tense, and the right Chi pulse was weak and deep. These are clear signs of liver and kidney Yin deficiency. Considering her menstrual pattern, if she's trying to conceive... the direction of treatment needs to be adjusted."
Xie Siyan leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window.
The thin white sunlight filtered through the glass, casting a light shadow on the side of his face.
He listened quietly, and when he heard this, he responded, "Then prescribe the medicine."
-
When the Chinese medicine was delivered to his door, Mu Jia was a little surprised, and finally couldn't help but frowned.
"What's this?"
Ji Ruqing said calmly, "The results of the last examination are out. Miss Mu is weaker than the average person. It may be that she hasn't had enough rest recently. Considering that Western medicine is harmful to her body, I suggest that she take some Chinese medicine to regulate her body."
When she mentioned that she was not feeling well, Mu Jia was obviously stunned for two seconds. "Are the test results very bad?"
Ji Ruqing looked at her worried expression and didn't have the heart to continue to lie to her. "It's not particularly bad..." She cleverly changed the subject, "Ms. Mu, have you been suffering from insomnia and staying up late recently?"
These words touched Mu Jia.
Because I live here and don't work, it's easy for my work and rest schedule to become irregular and my days and nights to be reversed.
Now that Xie Siyan has torn off the mask, he has completely stopped being a human being. His unsatisfied desires have prevented her from getting a good rest.
Seeing the sympathetic look on Mu Jia's face, Ji Ruqing lowered his eyes, knowing that this topic had been brushed aside.
She said in a gentle voice, "You need to adjust your sleep and rest schedule. Don't go to bed later than eleven o'clock. I'll check Miss Mu again later, and the indicators will be different."
After seeing Ji Ruqing off, Mu Jia held the medicine in his hand, but still felt it was too hard to swallow.
She opened her mobile phone and placed orders for more than a dozen imported candies on the shopping app. Only then did she feel that the threat of traditional Chinese medicine in front of her had eased a little.
At night, there was another round of sex.
Mu Jia couldn't resist and simply obeyed. After all, ordering a male model wouldn't necessarily have the same skills as him. But at the crucial step, he actually wanted to remove the protective measures. This action made Mu Jia tense, "No, no."
She trembled, raised her weak arms, and pressed his hand hard.
After she spoke, he didn't move. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at her calmly, "Give birth to my child, isn't it good?"
…
Nightmare.
A complete nightmare.
Mu Jia dreamed all night long. When he woke up, he was covered in sweat, the sheets were soaked, and there was no one beside him. His memory of last night also began to become unclear because of the chaotic dream all night.
It was just beginning to get light outside the window.
Grayish-white light seeped in through the gaps in the curtains, creating a distinct dark boundary in the room. Mu Jia stared at the empty space next to him, stunned for a moment, and began to doubt that the words about giving birth to a child were part of a dream.
She felt that she might have been thinking about something.
Song Mingxi called that day and before hanging up, she mentioned a few words about Zhou's mother's induction of labor, and she also analyzed it.
The two of us chatted a lot, which exhausted our energy. We didn't have this dream that night, but we did have it a few days later.
Mu Jia held the sheets and took a break for a while before getting up to wash them.
The marks on her body were shallow. Mu Jia vaguely remembered that not long ago, she simply washed herself in the bathroom and then went out.
——
Sunlight streams in through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows.
Shen Xingchu stood on the fitting table, her fingers gently stroking the delicate lace on the hem of the skirt, feeling that every wrinkle was like a petal soaked in morning dew, stretched and casual, which was her favorite style.
Xie Siyan leaned against the door frame.
He hadn't changed his clothes, still in his casual outfit. He glanced lazily at it, and when asked again, he frowned and said perfunctorily:
"good."
Shen Xingchu was not hurt at all by his cold attitude.
Her mother was a mistress and taught her to take things slowly since she was young.
So she was not in a hurry at all.
When she was in school, the professor commented that she was calm and composed, not even like a girl of her age.
"The waist needs to be taken up another half inch."
Bai Yirou came out of confinement and stood behind Shen Xingchu, giving her advice from the perspective of an elder, Xie Siyan. After saying this, she turned her head and gave Xie Siyan an extra look.
Shen Xingchu naturally saw this expression.
She thought aimlessly, it seemed that Xie's mother not only wanted to use the opponent's strength to her advantage, but also wanted to kill two birds with one stone. By holding the engagement party, she could gather two more sad people.
The market is really good.
What she likes most is to do things that make people upset.
Shen Xingchu smiled innocently and said, "Hmm," "Thank you, Sister Bai."
Bai Yirou was distracted for a moment by the words "Sister Bai", and then she walked to the other side as if she was hit, "Si Yan, why don't you help go over there and take a look. I've been out for a long time, I need to go back."
She had a baby at home, so no one could force her to stay using this excuse.
Shen Xingchu quickly said goodbye to Sister Bai with a smile.
She and Xie Siyan were the only two people left in the bridal shop.
She was knowledgeable and sensible, and stopped trying on clothes repeatedly. Instead, she said she wanted to go out for dinner.
While eating, the two of them unexpectedly ran into a familiar face. Before Song Mingxi looked over, Xie Siyan was pulled by Zhou Xu and dragged into the bathroom next door.
"Do you really think you can hide this from her forever?"
Zhou Xu's eyebrows were lowered, and he was obviously agitated. He tugged at his collar and said, "Because of you, I don't dare take Song Mingxi out. How long do I have to stay in this 'confinement period'?"
