Chapter 172
While having dinner in the evening, Jiang Zhinian thought Shi Ye would talk to her about pheromones right away, and she felt a little nervous.
After finishing the meal, Shi Ye went to the kitchen to wash the fruit, and Jiang Zhinian didn't wait for the beginning of a topic.
"You go to the TV meeting first, I have some things to take care of."
Jiang Zhinian looked at the apple that had been cut into pieces, feeling a little amused and helpless. She had been waiting all night, feeling restless, but Shi Ye was so calm.
After watching a random movie until ten o'clock, Shi Ye came out of the study, walked to the sofa and patted Jiang Zhinian.
"Are you sleepy?"
Jiang Zhinian rubbed his eyes: "Not sleepy."
It’s better to make some things clear as soon as possible, otherwise she may feel sleepy physically but she won’t be able to sleep mentally.
Shi Ye lowered his eyes to look at her belly, nodded and sat beside her: "Do you have anything to say?"
Jiang Zhinian perked up instantly upon hearing this. He sat facing Shi Ye and nodded seriously, "Do you have anything you want to ask me about pheromones?"
Shi Ye thought for a moment and said, "No."
He already knew that she had S-level pheromones, so there was nothing else to it.
"I kept it from you, aren't you angry?"
"Pheromone levels fall under citizens' privacy regulations." Jiang Zhinian didn't tell him, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"Then, don't you think I'm using S-level pheromones to influence your feelings towards me?"
"I'm also S-rank. If there's any influence, it's mutual."
Jiang Zhinian thought Shi Ye had something else to say, so he patiently pretended to listen. However, he only spoke to this point, paused, and then suddenly ended.
"so what?"
"so?"
"If we are both affected by each other's pheromones... then, our relationship... you won't worry..."
"Don't worry." Shi Ye interrupted Jiang Zhinian, picked up a piece of cut apple with a fork, and put it to Jiang Zhinian's mouth, "Don't think about it."
Jiang Zhinian instinctively thought that Shi Ye's lack of worry meant that he was very confident in their relationship, so he didn't think that pheromones had deceived their brains.
But deep down in her heart, she had a feeling that something was wrong.
In a loving couple, if one day the husband discovers that his love for his wife is probably partly due to the influence of pheromones, would his normal behavior be like Shi Ye, accepting everything with a stable mood without any doubt?
Wouldn't he think, do I really love my wife? Is my infatuation, enthusiasm and desire for her not at all influenced by the capital's pheromones?
If I strip away all external interference, do I really love her soul?
Jiang Zhinian looked up at Shi Ye, handsome, gentle, and strong, a nearly perfect husband. Most importantly, he treated her very well and often showed his love for her.
However, no matter how perfect a sculpture is, it will always have flaws.
But Shi Ye was always so rational that she found it incredible. He seemed to never get angry with her, and his emotions were stable enough to accept everything about her. But... were these tolerances, which were so precise and seemed like textbooks, real?
Jiang Zhinian avoided Shi Ye's gaze and looked out the window at the dark night sky.
"There's no moon today."
"It will rain tomorrow."
A warm home, a husband she has loved for many years, and a child who is about to be born, are these what she wants?
Jiang Zhinian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and gave Shi Ye a gentle smile: "Then remember to bring an umbrella tomorrow morning."
"good."
Jiang Zhinian looked at Shi Ye's gray eyes, gently hugged his neck, and closed her eyes.
Yes, that's what she wanted.
…
On the weekend, the two of them attended a newborn activity held by a confinement center together. It was made by Yuan Miaomiao and Wang Bo, and they brought them along as well.
"Niannian, have you decided yet whether to go to a confinement center or hire a confinement nanny after giving birth?"
Jiang Zhinian's mind was confused. She had been busy recently and almost forgot about this matter.
"Not yet. There's no need to rush."
"How can I not be anxious? Let me tell you, good confinement nannies are no longer available on the market. The confinement nanny a friend of mine hired is booked until next year, and they even require a deposit before they can schedule a date. If you don't book one soon, you won't be able to take care of the baby when it's born."
Jiang Zhinian also felt a sense of crisis after hearing this.
"So, what about the confinement center?"
"You have to book rooms in a confinement center in advance. How can you just stay there after giving birth? The place I invited you to today is very famous. It's said that many celebrities stay here."
Jiang Zhinian frowned, thinking that this place must be very expensive.
"I actually still want to hire a confinement nanny."
"Actually, I'm planning to hire a confinement nanny." Yuan Miaomiao hugged Jiang Zhinian's arm, looked around, and then whispered, "No matter how good the confinement center is, it's not as good as your own home. The kettle and washing machine are all used by others. Besides, the price of one month in the confinement center can hire a confinement nanny for three months. It's better to hire a confinement nanny for a longer period of time so that we can have more time."
"Then why are you still here today?"
"This confinement center also provides home confinement nanny services. It has a very good reputation. Let's go and learn more about it."
The two of them were whispering here, and Shi Ye and Wang Bo also started chatting.
"By the way, how does Director Wen plan to deal with that matter?"
"It is still undergoing joint cross-examination from above." The operation was naturally stopped.
"Didn't you go and see?"
Shi Ye glanced at Jiang Zhinian and shook his head: "I can't help you at this time."
It would also be embarrassing to go. Uncle Wen must know what it means to Shi Ye that he told Wen Xinyu that "secret". He must be regretting and feeling guilty, and may not want to see him.
Wang Bo sighed, "So, the workplace is like a battlefield. But as long as you have done nothing wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Uncle Wen will definitely be fine."
Shi Ye suddenly said, "Not necessarily."
"What?"
"If the people who are trying to get him to do something, they must have some solid evidence."
He already knew that this incident was probably caused by his father, but if his father just wanted to mess with his mentality, he would not use such means. If he dared to make a big deal out of it, he must have some evidence in his hands.
But I don't know what it is, or what he wants to do.
…
The format of this newborn "seedling cultivation" activity was actually very lively. Instead of the traditional lecturer standing on the stage and giving a PPT, there were many doll babies on the stage, providing practical guidance on food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For example, how to disinfect the umbilical cord of a newborn baby, wash their hair and bathe them, how to dress them, feed them, burp them, etc.
While rehearsing, the teachers will also invite the expectant fathers in the audience to come on stage for teaching demonstrations, and make the parents extremely anxious by criticizing their clumsy methods.
