Liu Anran quickly changed into her maternity clothes, smiled with satisfaction; maternity clothes are so comfortable.
Chu Yunxiao was surprised to see Liu Anran change her number and clothes so quickly.
Seeing that Liu Anran's belly was so big, he even wanted to help her get dressed.
"An Ran, you have difficulty moving around, let me help you get dressed."
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Liu Anran had already thought it through this morning. She couldn't rely too much on Chu Yunxiao, since he couldn't be by her side all the time.
Self-reliance is the guiding principle for Liu Anran.
Recalling the female lead's strange luck and charm, Liu Anran worried that the Chu family would be influenced and secretly plot against her. Wasn't her son Yunlong killed because of this?
Liu Anran took out a cup of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and drank it. The spiritual spring water could basically cure all diseases, so she could drink a few more sips whenever she felt like it.
There are some things that others can eat, but pregnant women can't. I've heard that in wealthy families, there's always a power struggle, and even if there's no female lead, there will be someone else. I can't just believe Chu Yunxiao's one-sided story.
I didn't watch palace dramas for nothing. There are only a few ways to make a move. It seems I can't use the Chu family's things indiscriminately. I have a backup in my own space, and I can't just let anyone into my room.
I'm not afraid of being accused of being petty and judging others by my own standards. After all, my life and my child are more important than their thoughts. I'd rather have that time to eat well, drink well, and give birth to my child safely.
Chu Yunxiao looked at Liu Anran with some amusement. "Anran, this is the Chu family home. We don't have any enemies here. Why are you so wary?"
Liu Anran was displeased. "This is the apocalypse, anything can happen. Besides, how long do you stay in the Chu family? How long do I stay in the Chu family?"
Chu Yunxiao comforted her, "My uncle has purged everyone in the villa. Those who are disloyal or have bad character have been kicked out. The baby in your belly is the Chu family's treasure. Grandma and Mom won't make things difficult for you for the sake of the child."
Liu Anran nodded perfunctorily. Time will tell, and people's true nature is a lesson learned from the blood and tears of those who came before. No one can predict what will happen in the future.
Chu Yunxiao helped Liu Anran to the living room, where Old Madam Chu, Qin Menghan, and Yunlong were already at the dining table, with Yunlong sitting in a children's chair.
Chu Yunxiao helped Liu Anran sit down and thoughtfully tidied the chair. Qin Menghan asked Aunt Zhang to bring a cushion and place it behind Liu Anran.
Liu Anran felt much more comfortable leaning back. Indeed, experience counts. Liu Anran smiled and said to Qin Menghan, "Thank you, Mom!"
Aunt Zhang brought a small plate of steamed buns and placed it in front of Liu Anran. Qin Menghan said with some guilt, "The apocalypse happened too suddenly. There are no fresh vegetables or meat left. Only frozen meat and vegetables are left in the warehouse. The steamed buns are made with frozen meat. They don't taste as good as those made with fresh meat, but they are all stored in the cold chain."
How can a pregnant woman thrive on these foods?! Qin Menghan felt heartbroken that her precious grandson couldn't eat fresh food in the apocalypse.
Liu Anran happily ate the steamed buns.
This is the power of a prestigious family! They didn't eat frozen xiaolongbao, but freshly made ones.
Liu Anran swallowed the xiaolongbao, blushed, and waved her hand, looking flattered.
"Mom, it's the apocalypse now, this is already a feast! So many people envy me for having such a good mother-in-law like you, making sure your daughter-in-law eats so well!"
Liu Anran had spent a long time outside, and these things were rare treasures in the apocalypse.
She didn't have any meat, but she had more vegetables than she could finish.
Qin Menghan looked at Liu Anran's big belly with affection. The more she looked at Liu Anran, the more pleasing she seemed to be. She was also very good at talking.
Qin Menghan wasn't really in the mood to eat, and kept urging Liu Anran to eat more. She also asked them what they had encountered on their way back, how their food was, how their clothes were, and whether they had slept well.
Liu Anran replied to each message, and even took the time to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), keeping herself very busy.
Hearing this, Old Madam Chu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Menghan, hurry up and eat. Anran has been so busy asking you questions that she doesn't have time to eat."
Chu Yunxiao chimed in, "Mom, let's talk about it after dinner. An Ran still needs to eat."
Qin Menghan didn't dare say anything to the old lady, but Chu Yunxiao was different. "Don't you dare say anything more."
As she spoke, Qin Menghan handed a plate of fried eggs to Liu Anran, saying, "You've been so busy eating that you haven't even taken care of your wife."
Pregnant women should be well cared for, but Liu Anran has been traveling constantly since she was only recently pregnant. Isn't she just concerned about Anran?
So she gave Liu Anran some more food that she thought was nutritious, and didn't disturb Liu Anran's meal anymore.
Liu Anran had intended to help clear the dishes after finishing her meal, but Qin Menghan stopped her, saying that the housekeeper did all of that.
Liu Anran was naturally eloquent, and in no time she had Qin Menghan all smiles.
Qin Menghan initially had a "love me, love my dog" attitude towards Liu Anran, but after spending time with Liu Anran, she genuinely liked her.
Liu Anran is kind-hearted and adheres to her principles, yet she is ruthless and decisive when facing enemies. Even without her son, Liu Anran can still thrive in the apocalypse.
Moreover, Liu Anran reminded her of her younger brother, which inexplicably gave Qin Menghan a sense of closeness.
