Chapter 62 Baby
A group of people rested at the resort for a week, and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, they all went back to their respective homes.
A few days before the Lunar New Year, Jiang Qingying and Lu Jinyuan returned home and worked together to prepare for the holiday. The Lu family also needed to be arranged, but Jiang Qingying mainly discussed and handled the arrangements with the housekeeper.
After dinner, Jiang Qingying first communicated with her housekeeper about how to decorate the house for the New Year, what items to buy, and how to entertain guests. After finishing that, she called Uncle Qi from the Lu family, and the two had a general chat. She said she would go home again tomorrow to take a look in person.
After finishing her work, it was almost time for her to go to bed.
Jiang Qingying sat in the living room all night, and her back was a little sore. She yawned and stretched, intending to go upstairs to take a shower, but she ran into Lu Jinyuan, who was coming downstairs, at the corner of the stairs.
"I thought I'd have to come and call you myself."
Jiang Qingying didn't take it to heart. She climbed two steps and stood in front of him, looking up at him: "Are you done with your work?"
Lu Jinyuan: "I'm done with work."
Jiang Qingying yawned again, her eyes moist, her curled eyelashes damp. She opened her arms and hugged his shoulders. "Then please give me a bath. I'm so sleepy."
Sleepiness crept into her mind, and her speech became slurred and slightly coquettish.
Since she became pregnant, she has always taken advantage of her pregnancy to make him do all sorts of chores, and sometimes she has gone to great lengths to take advantage of him.
Without saying a word, Lu Jinyuan lifted her up by her bottom with his arms, easily carried her to the dressing room, casually picked out a nightgown for her, and then carried her to the bathroom.
Jiang Qingying hadn't had a haircut in a while, and her short, straight, black hair had grown quite a bit. Since she didn't have the habit of washing her hair every day, she asked him to tie it up for her to avoid getting it wet when she took a shower later.
Lu Jinyuan carried her to the washstand and sat her down. He found a black hair tie in the jewelry box next to him, put the hair tie on her wrist, and then took out a comb.
"Turn around a bit."
"Do you know how to tie hair?"
Jiang Qingying said she didn't believe it, but turned around with doubt in her eyes.
“I practiced beforehand.” Lu Jinyuan’s long fingers gently brushed against her soft, black hair. He held most of her hair in one hand and used the other hand to tidy up the rest of her stray hairs.
Seeing that his movements were quite smooth, Jiang Qingying asked curiously, "Why are you practicing this?"
Lu Jinyuan smiled and blurted out, "For the baby."
Jiang Qingying was stunned. It was the first time she had heard those two words come out of his mouth. She didn't realize for a moment who he was talking about when he said "baby".
But the first person I thought of as the "baby" was myself.
She blinked, her mind racing. First of all, she wasn't just imagining things; it was because he was tying his hair, and he'd said he was practicing for the baby, so she subconsciously assumed it was her.
Jiang Qingying kept trying to convince herself, but she ignored the sudden change in atmosphere. She looked into Lu Jinyuan's eyes through the mirror in front of the sink, and at that moment, a strange ambiguity suddenly arose.
She instinctively felt that she had misunderstood, and was afraid that he would overthink it. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt unwell in her stomach, and a wave of nausea surged up from below. She couldn't help but gag a few times.
Lu Jinyuan was startled and quickly handed her a tissue, patting her back repeatedly. "What's wrong?"
Suddenly, a ridiculous reason came to mind. He pointed to Jiang Qingying's lower abdomen and tentatively explained, "I'm talking about her."
"I know..."
Within minutes, Jiang Qingying's face turned pale, tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes, and after gagging a few times, her mouth and nasal cavity were filled with a sour taste, making her feel even worse.
Knowing his explanation, I was about to say, "That's not what I meant either."
The words that were on the tip of his tongue turned into the sound of vomiting. He finally vomited them out, but the meaning of the words had changed.
Seeing her in distress, Lu Jinyuan felt so sorry for her that he couldn't think of anything else. After she finished vomiting, he carried her out of the bathroom, strode to the bed, put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Then he immediately called the family doctor.
After doing all this, Jiang Qingying's condition temporarily stabilized. She looked at Lu Jinyuan with her reddened eyes, reached out and hooked his finger. The next second, her whole hand was enveloped by his large hand.
"Um... I didn't find your words disgusting." Jiang Qingying was a little embarrassed, her red lips trembling as she murmured, "I didn't know that this morning sickness came on so suddenly, and that I would be so presumptuous."
Lu Jinyuan chuckled lightly, "It is a bit presumptuous of me."
Jiang Qingying glanced at him shyly, "I can't control myself."
"I didn't mean to blame you." Lu Jinyuan touched her lower abdomen through the blanket and chuckled, "I just wanted to tease you with a double entendre."
"......"
Jiang Qingying's eyes flashed with surprise.
I silently cursed him in my mind: What a slut!
"Are you feeling any better now?"
"Um."
Lu Jinyuan picked up a comb, tidied up the hair he had just tied halfway through, and methodically re-tied her hair.
"It will take a while for the family doctor to arrive. Go take a shower first, so you'll feel more comfortable."
Jiang Qingying looked up at him. He was very close to her, almost blocking out all the light. He was backlit, with deep-set eyes and delicate, well-defined facial features. She was surrounded by his aura, a unique coldness, and the hormones of a man.
Accustomed to their previous fierce and erotic interactions, such tender moments were rare, and her heart skipped a beat.
She abruptly changed the subject: "Why are you practicing this all the time?"
"Lower your head a little." It wasn't convenient to tie her hair from the front, so he moved a little closer, his deep eyes smiling as he looked down at her. "I thought since the baby is a girl, I'm practicing how to tie her hair in advance."
Jiang Qingying chuckled, bumping her head against his chest, and teased him, "No matter how much you fantasize, it's unrealistic. Whether it's a man or a woman, it's still a 50/50 chance, isn't it?"
After her hair was tied up, Lu Jinyuan didn't leave. Instead, he followed her movements and hugged her tightly. "I have confidence in the sperm I provided."
Jiang Qingying was speechless.
Such confidence, such an absurd explanation.
Lu Jinyuan knew she didn't trust her intuition, so he didn't argue with her. He calmly helped her take a bath, and then the family doctor arrived.
The family doctor was a practitioner who combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine. He first took Jiang Qingying's pulse and asked what she had eaten that day. "After a preliminary examination, there are no problems with her body. Her morning sickness is also normal. During this period, she should pay attention to rest and not overwork herself."
"How long will this pregnancy reaction last?" Lu Jinyuan asked.
"Everyone's situation is different. Some pregnant women only experience morning sickness in the first trimester, while others experience it throughout their entire pregnancy."
Lu Jinyuan was in a bad mood.
Jiang Qingying's delicate eyebrows furrowed. Just a few days ago, she was smugly pleased that she didn't feel pregnant at all, but now karma was coming on her.
Seeing that she was sleepy, Lu Jinyuan said, "You go to sleep first, I'll talk to the doctor outside."
Jiang Qingying nodded without saying anything.
Lu Jinyuan saw the doctor off, asking as they walked, "Is there any way to alleviate this?"
"There are some basic methods, mainly through food. You can drink some tangerine peel tea or ginger tea to warm your stomach, and you can also eat some sour foods, such as oranges and dried plums. You should eat small meals frequently and keep a record of foods that are likely to cause nausea, and try to avoid similar foods during pregnancy."
The doctor concluded by saying, "If the pregnant woman really can't eat, don't force her. The baby doesn't need much nutrition in early pregnancy. Forcing her to eat can affect her mental and emotional state. Try to distract her by taking her for a walk or other recreational activities."
Lu Jinyuan nodded: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
Doctor: "This is what I should do."
