After we finished eating, we went to find Zi Teng based on the address she had given us the night before.
As usual, I hailed a taxi, told the driver the address, and then leaned back comfortably, watching the scenery outside the car window.
"You, let's buy a car too," I said, tugging at You's clothes on a sudden impulse.
"Buy a car?" You asked, puzzled. Her expression seemed to tell me that it was unnecessary.
I coughed lightly to cover my embarrassment. It's true that you can take a car when you go out, and if you really need to go somewhere, using magic is much more convenient than a car. But I just want to buy a super cool car and enjoy the fun of driving.
“Yes, wouldn’t it be much more convenient for us to go wherever we want with a car?” I said, my voice growing softer and softer.
You's face seemed to have a big question mark written on it, but she didn't refuse me. "If you want to, of course you can."
“But after we buy the car, let’s go take the driving test together.” I saw the light in You’s eyes instantly brighten.
"Take a driving test?" Although You and I have been in the human world for a while, there are still many things You don't know.
“Yes, you need a driver’s license to drive,” I explained to You.
"Troublesome." You frowned slightly.
"It's no trouble at all, just consider it keeping me company." I smiled, took You's arm, and rested my head on You's shoulder.
She gave a lazy "Mmm."
"Hello, we've arrived."
"We're here already?" I realized and looked out the window. The residential area in front of me was both upscale and private, which was very much in line with Zifang's current status as a big star.
"Okay." I took out my phone, paid the fare, and got out of the car.
"Excuse me, do you know which way to this building?" I could tell from the outside that there were many residential buildings inside. I figured I would get lost if I went in without knowing where I was going, so I might as well ask the security guard at the gate.
The security guard glanced at the address on my phone screen. "Have you contacted the homeowner?"
"It's all arranged; she asked me to come."
"Wait a moment, let me ask." With that, the security guard went into the room to make the contact.
A moment later, the security guard came out again. "Okay, come with me, I'll take you there."
Wow, the security guards in this community are so nice?
All the buildings here are detached villas, unlike my neighborhood where villas and high-rise apartments are mixed together.
After the security guard led us to the villa where Zi Teng lived, he left.
I rang the doorbell in front of the wisteria gate, and a middle-aged woman I didn't know opened the door for me shortly afterward.
"Please come in." The middle-aged woman glanced at You and me and then invited us inside.
This is...? I didn't know for a moment whether it was the nanny hired by the Wisteria family or the groom's mother, so I simply kept quiet.
The middle-aged woman led us up to the second floor and stopped outside a room, knocking gently. "Madam, our guests have arrived."
It seems she's the nanny for the Wisteria family.
"Come in."
The middle-aged woman opened the door for me, but she didn't go in herself.
"Wisteria." I called out Wisteria's name softly, looking at the listless woman on the bed with some shock.
I remember the last time I saw the wisteria, it was so bright and beautiful. Why does it look so listless today?
"Wisteria, are you alright? You look so listless."
Zi Teng forced a smile, saying, "I've been vomiting a lot during my pregnancy, so I haven't been feeling well."
I looked at the woman in front of me with heartache. I remember that when I was pregnant before, I seemed to be doing better than Zi Teng.
"By the way, where's your boyfriend?" I haven't seen Zifang's boyfriend since I came in.
“He’s filming out of town, so he’s not home.” Zi Teng propped herself up and sat up. “Aunt Li is the only one taking care of me at home.”
"Aunt Li? Is she the one who opened the door for me?"
"Mm." Wisteria nodded.
As we were talking, Aunt Li came in again. This time, she was carrying a tray. She put down my drink and then closed the door and left.
“But you need your partner to be with you during your pregnancy, right? Why is he still filming?” I complained to Wisteria’s partner, “Which is more important, you and the baby or filming?”
“He did it all for me and the child.” Zifang’s face was filled with a happy smile when she mentioned him. “He said that now that we have a child, he wants to earn more money.”
I almost blurted out, "What's the use of money?"
But I immediately realized that Wisteria's target wasn't like us; it was a completely ordinary person, and for ordinary people, money is extremely important.
"You...you really aren't going to tell your partner the truth?"
Wisteria shook her head. "I've made up my mind. If I were to tell him, he would be terrified."
I disagree with Wisteria's point of view. "Ordinary people aren't as cowardly as you think. How can you bear to separate your child from their parents? You give your child away to be raised by someone else, and then raise someone else's child yourself?"
"Yes, don't try to persuade me anymore, I've already made up my mind." Zi Teng's tone was exceptionally firm.
"Alright." Seeing that Wisteria had made up her mind, I didn't want to try to persuade her further.
Actually, I really don't think highly of Wisteria's terrible idea.
While we were talking, Youmo sat to the side, gently swirling the cup in his hand, lost in thought.
"I called you here because I was scared and lonely all by myself." Wisteria reached out and pulled me.
The wisteria's frail appearance instantly softened my heart.
"It's okay, I've been pregnant once before, so I have some experience."
"You've been pregnant before?" Wisteria's eyes widened in shock. "What about your child?"
"The baby didn't survive." I lowered my eyes to hide my sadness, forcing myself to cheer up. "When you were pregnant, you needed to get some exercise every day, instead of staying in bed all day."
"Oh, okay." Zifang nodded obediently and didn't press me about the child.
"I'll stay here with you today."
"Mm." Wisteria nodded with a smile. "Aunt Li's cooking is quite good. You can try it later. I remember you used to like to eat certain things."
"Okay, let's eat together."
I chatted with Zi Teng again, explaining the precautions to take during pregnancy.
Wisteria's belly isn't very big now, you can hardly tell. I touch Wisteria's belly, and you have to be very careful to feel the baby's heartbeat.
Zi Teng said he is less than three months pregnant and it will be a long time before the baby is born.
We were chatting happily when there was another knock on the door, followed by Aunt Li's voice, "Madam, the food is ready. Shall we eat now?"
"Okay, let's eat now." Wisteria got out of bed upon hearing this.
The three of us then moved from Wisteria's bedroom to the living room. Wisteria's living room is very large, and the dining table is placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, which offers a perfect view of the flower-filled courtyard.
Right now, it's drizzling outside, and we can enjoy the rainy scenery from our seats at the dining table.
Aunt Li prepared dozens of delicious dishes, each one with perfect color, aroma, and taste, while also avoiding foods that pregnant women should avoid.
"Eat more, Aunt Li's cooking is very good." Zi Teng said, putting some food into my bowl.
