Chapter 93 Changing Homes
Xiao Xiao and Nian An, acting as "experienced veterans," meticulously gave Jiang Yining various precautions: "Never lift heavy objects," "Avoid all foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis," "Walk slowly and be very careful going up and down stairs..." Jiang Yining listened with a smile, agreeing to each one, feeling warm inside.
Meanwhile, Xie Shiyan was having a quiet gathering with Zhou Yanzhe and Lu Jingshen in a tea room. Zhou Yanzhe joked, "Ayan, you're something else! You don't say anything unless you're really good, and when you do, it's amazing—two at once! That's faster than any of us!"
Lu Jingshen chuckled and chimed in, "That's right, you've caught up with the schedule in no time. Guess if it's two boys, two girls, or twins? Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Xie Shiyan picked up the celadon teacup, took a slow sip, and looked at it with tenderness in his eyes: "As long as it is Ningning's child, whether it is a boy or a girl, I will cherish it as a treasure."
"Yo yo yo!" The two teased each other exaggeratedly, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the tea room. Zhou Yanzhe suggested going to a bar to relax that evening, but Lu Jingshen immediately shook his head: "My little darling at home can't be left alone."
Xie Shiyan also declined calmly: "Ningning can't stand the smell of smoke and alcohol, I have to stay with her."
Zhou Yanzhe looked at these two "wife slaves" and "child slaves," shook his head helplessly, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Before she knew it, Jiang Yining was in her sixth month of pregnancy. Her twin belly was particularly noticeable, a whole size larger than other pregnant women in the same month. Her work focus had completely shifted online, and important projects were gradually handed over to Luo Zhitong and the team. She was just waiting for her belly to grow a little bigger before officially taking maternity leave.
Jiang's mother, deeply loving her daughter, would fly from Z City to visit her every month. Seeing her mother's arduous journey, Jiang Yining, supporting her aching back, said with concern at the kitchen door, "Mom, why don't you and Dad move to S City? Flying back and forth like this is too tiring."
Jiang's mother wiped her hands, looked at her daughter's worried expression, and smiled, "Next time I come, I won't be in a hurry to go back. But I won't stay here; it's too quiet, and the neighbors are far away. I'll stay in your neighborhood near Li Wan (Xie's mother); it's more lively there. It'll be convenient for me to come over every day to accompany you for walks and prenatal checkups."
When Jiang Yining heard that her mother was willing to stay for an extended period, she immediately beamed with joy: "I don't need you to accompany me for walks and prenatal checkups. Ayan has arranged everything perfectly."
Indeed, since becoming pregnant, Xie Shiyan has personally taken care of everything regarding diet, exercise, and prenatal checkups, arranging everything meticulously. He personally accompanied her to each prenatal checkup, and the smooth progress gradually put his mind at ease.
During Jiang Yining's pregnancy, she hardly gave anyone a chance to "interfere." Occasionally, when she went shopping with her girlfriends, Xie Shiyan would always become a "human accessory" and "mobile storage rack," protecting his wife the whole time. His considerate manner often made Xiao Xiao and Nian An complain to their husbands when they got home, "Look at President Xie! And look at you."
Zhou Yanzhe and Lu Jingshen were already used to this, and Xie Shiyan never shied away from showing his affection for his wife in public. As a result, reports about "Xie Shiyan, president of the Xie Group, becoming a devoted husband" quietly surfaced.
His gentle companionship during his wife's prenatal checkups, his attentive care while she leisurely strolled around town with her pregnant belly, and even being photographed accompanying her to look at properties in the serene "Crown" luxury villa district... In an instant, Mr. Xie's image as a doting husband became deeply ingrained in people's minds, making others envious.
Ultimately, Xie Shiyan chose a 500-square-meter, three-and-a-half-story luxury villa. It features a spacious underground parking garage and an elevator that connects directly to the first floor.
The first floor is cleverly divided: one side features a grand living room, an open kitchen, and an elegant tea room; the other side houses four comfortable suites with ensuite bathrooms.
The second floor is even more spacious, featuring a large living room, kitchen, balcony, and six spacious master suites side by side, each with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, as well as a dedicated study. The third floor boasts a large terrace with excellent views, connecting the living room, kitchen, and four other suites.
Jiang Yining fell in love with the place at first sight. She excitedly planned: to the left of the gate, she would build a small garden, decorated with a fountain and a pavilion; to the right, she would create a children's playground, complete with a sandpit and slides.
What's even better is that the villas in this area are spaced appropriately, creating a warm and friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Seeing that his wife liked it, Xie Shiyan didn't hesitate to book the central villa with the best location.
Xiao Xiao and Nian An were thrilled when they heard the news, and Zhou Yanzhe and Lu Jingshen, naturally following suit, quickly bought a house next to Xie Shiyan's. The three best friends would be living side by side in the future.
The two "commanders-in-chief," Xie's mother and Jiang's mother, were extremely busy, arranging everything from furniture and appliances to pots and pans, ensuring that all their daily needs were met.
The plan is that after the child is born, four professional nannies, Xie's parents, and Jiang's parents will all live on the first floor for convenient care. A luxurious yet well-organized blueprint for life has already been drawn up.
