Rong Bing sat by the window, her heart aching in waves.
She thought the house was unsafe, so she checked it thoroughly, but it looked quite sturdy.
The woman returned to her room, leaned against the headboard, and waited until the rain subsided and everything returned to normal before finally going to sleep.
The sun shines brightly over Tiancheng, and the pomegranate trees along the roadside are laden with fruit. Even in autumn, they are full of life in Zhou Luo's eyes.
She went to the company with Fu Jingchen.
Zhou Luo got out of the car, and Fu Jingchen ran over, took her arm, and helped her up.
"Are you afraid I'll fall?" Zhou Luo glanced at Fu Jingchen. "It's not that dramatic, like you're helping a patient."
Zhou Luo pulled his arm out.
"Also, you can't let your colleagues know about the pregnancy. I heard you have to keep it a secret for the first three months," Zhou Luo instructed Fu Jingchen.
After Fu Jingchen found out last night, he planned to tell his assistant when he got to work, but Zhou Luo told him to keep it a secret.
"Can't Lao Hu know either?" Fu Jingchen asked. "I was thinking of talking to them about it. I'll definitely accompany you for inspections more often in the future. The company needs them to pay more attention."
"You're thinking that far ahead." Zhou Luo wiped his sweat. "It's still early. We can wait until the check-up is done. The main problem is that things aren't stable yet, so let's wait and see."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Fu Jingchen said, touching his fiancée's face.
Liu Yi guessed that Zhou Luo was coming, so he brought her some steamed buns from home for breakfast.
I didn't know Zhou Luo was pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of meat.
She delivered the steamed buns to Fu Jingchen's office.
Zhou Luo's stomach churned, but she endured the discomfort, afraid that if she showed it, Liu Yi would misunderstand and think she disliked the breakfast he had brought.
"President Fu, Assistant Zhou, these are steamed buns I made myself this morning, with preserved mustard greens and pork filling. I brought a few for you to try." Liu Yi made them especially for them. She remembered that Zhou Luo had said he loved preserved mustard greens and pork buns, but didn't like ginger, and the ones she bought outside always had ginger in them.
"Thank you, Sister Liu." Fu Jingchen took the buns and noticed that his fiancée looked unwell, probably because she couldn't stand the smell.
Fu Jingchen fastened the bag and said, "We'll eat it in a bit."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Liu. I love preserved vegetable and pork rice dumplings the most." The flavor was a little weak, and Zhou Luo recovered.
After Sister Liu left, Fu Jingchen added another bag and put the buns in the refrigerator.
"Looks like I can't hide it anymore, my morning sickness is too obvious." Zhou Luo didn't expect that even the taste of steamed buns would make her feel uncomfortable.
Fu Jingchen didn't know much about these things, so he asked, "What medicine can relieve it? I'll go buy some."
"Pregnant women shouldn't take medicine casually, you idiot," Zhou Luo scolded. "It'll be fine after three months."
"You're going to vomit for three months?" Fu Jingchen's mouth dropped open. "How can you possibly endure that long?"
“Rong Yan knows a lot of doctors, she must have a solution. I’ll call her right away.” Fu Jingchen didn’t want Zhou Luo to suffer like this.
"Fu Jingchen, don't be like this. You're being so careful, it puts a lot of pressure on me." Zhou Luo was afraid that if she accidentally made a mistake, she wouldn't be able to explain it to anyone.
"Don't feel pressured. When Grandma was alive, she often said that you only know the kindness of your parents when you raise your own children. She suffered a lot when she gave birth to my father. I can't get pregnant for you, so I can only do what I can." Fu Jingchen didn't know how many times the old lady had said that whenever her eldest brother rebelled, she would always say that she had worked so hard to give birth to her son, but he gave birth to a rebellious son.
Fu Jingchen's high level of awareness truly surprised Zhou Luo.
After Liu Yi left the office, he felt that Zhou Luo's expression was strange.
Did she not like the steamed buns I made?
She didn't look well.
Liu Yi returned to her computer and stared blankly for a while.
"What's wrong, Sister Liu?" a colleague asked kindly.
"Xiao Wu, have you noticed that the boss and Xiao Zhou seem to be getting closer these past few days?"
“Yes, getting engaged really makes a difference,” Xiao Wu blurted out.
"Didn't Xiao Zhou say she had an upset stomach yesterday? She kept vomiting. Could she be pregnant?" Liu Yi guessed.
"No way, Sister Liu." Xiao Wu moved a stool over and started gossiping.
——
Rong Yan received a call from Fu Jingchen before she even turned on her computer at the clinic.
Zhou Luo is pregnant, a little over a month along, and is experiencing severe morning sickness. Fu Jingchen asked her if she knew any obstetricians and gynecologists who could help alleviate her symptoms.
So, is there a rush to get pregnant?
"I know someone, let me ask." Rong Yan certainly knew someone, and besides, Shen Xingzhi needed one too.
The good thing about Shen Xingzhi is that she doesn't have much of a reaction and has a good appetite.
Rong Yan didn't have a good impression of Zhou Luo, not only because of Rong Bing, but also because Zhou Luo had deliberately created a scandal with Fu Jingsheng.
Fu Jingchen actually wants to marry a woman like that, but considering that Fu Jingchen isn't exactly a good person either, it's understandable.
But since he was an adopted son of the Fu family, and he took the initiative to ask for help, Rong Yan couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
I wonder if Fu Jingsheng and the others have received the news.
Rong Yan left a message for her friend.
After Rong Bing woke up, she called her sister and said that she had been restless all night and asked if her sister was alright.
Rong Yan is not superstitious, but there are some things she can't explain.
Perhaps because Rong Bing and Fu Jingchen had a past bond, Rong Bing sensed it.
Zhou Luo's pregnancy was terrible news for Rong Bing. After so many years together, Rong Bing and Fu Jingchen hadn't ended up getting married.
However, Rong Yan didn't want to tell Zhou Luo about Fu Jingchen's situation. She only said that they were all doing well and comforted Rong Bing, saying that she might be feeling unwell because of the bad weather and not to overthink it.
Rong Bing was relieved to know that Rong Yan and the others were all safe and sound.
In the evening, Rong Yan went to her mother-in-law's place after get off work. The agency's hours were the opposite of the normal working hours; the evenings were actually the busiest time for them.
When Rong Yan arrived, she discovered that Old Deng had actually recruited several people, and there were even more students now.
Han Yue sat at her old desk, but instead of working, she was scrolling through her phone.
"Mom," Rong Yan called out, only then noticing that someone had arrived.
“You’re slacking off at work,” Rong Yan joked.
"I'm not at work, I'm here to help out. There are people here now," Han Yue explained seriously, unaware that Rong Yan was joking.
"Just kidding, Mom. Let's go for a walk."
"Okay, have you eaten yet?" Han Yue had nothing to do anyway.
"I can't eat right now, let's wait for Fu Jingsheng." Rong Yan wanted to tell her mother-in-law about Zhou Luo's pregnancy next week.
"Alright, Lao Deng is busy right now, let's eat together later." Han Yue said as she walked to Lao Deng's side, and then went downstairs with Rong Yan.
Night had already fallen in Tiancheng by six o'clock.
"Is something wrong?" Han Yue knew that her daughter-in-law wouldn't have asked her to come out and say anything if nothing was wrong.
"Mom, do you know Zhou Luo is pregnant?" Rong Yan asked.
"I don't know. Pregnant? When did this happen? Jingchen called me yesterday but didn't say anything." Han Yue had no idea.
"She asked me if I knew anyone who works in obstetrics and gynecology. Zhou Luo is having severe morning sickness. I told her. Mom, I came to see you because Fu Jingchen is Jing Sheng's younger brother. Although I don't like him or Zhou Luo, he's still like a sister-in-law. Should we go see Zhou Luo?" Rong Yan couldn't decide, so she asked her mother-in-law.
