Chapter 210 The Little Heartless One
In a few days, Shen Mo's vacation will be over.
During her vacation, Jiang Ning fully realized his cautiousness.
Even though she said that pregnant women are not clay dolls, Shen Mo did not relax his vigilance at all, treating her with utmost care as if she were fragile and delicate.
After the family of three finished their walk and returned home, Zhiqi took the initiative to go to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.
Shen Mo had Jiang Ning sit on a mat in the courtyard, and he sat beside her to massage her calves.
Jiang Ning let him massage her, and if she didn't let him do anything, he would be so anxious that he would die.
Pregnancy anxiety is usually a woman's problem, so why is it that it's the man who's experiencing anxiety in this couple?
When Jiang Ning first became pregnant, she thought she would experience many uncomfortable reactions, but she didn't experience any of the discomforts that pregnant women usually experience.
After Jiang Ning became famous in the compound, she would encounter many military dependents whenever she went out for a stroll.
Given Jiang Ning's current reputation, everyone would want to go up and chat with her; it's always a good thing to have a good relationship with her.
Jiang Ning was also bored, so she would join the chatterboxes when she was bored. But as they chatted, the conversation would often turn to her.
Most of the older military dependents in the family compound had given birth before, and they would tell Jiang Ning a lot about things to be aware of. As they talked, they would discuss how difficult it was for them to give birth, and some of them had even experienced severe bleeding.
Jiang Ning is very clear about her physical condition and has been taking good care of it. Most of the problems these military dependents experienced during childbirth were due to health issues they developed while pregnant.
Jiang Ning didn't listen to a word of the risks and other analyses made by the women in the family compound, but Shen Mo did.
Knowing that pregnant women often experience back pain during pregnancy, he would massage Jiang Ning every day after his walk, but it didn't help when Jiang Ning told him that these symptoms only appear in the mid-to-late stages of pregnancy.
Jiang Ning knew that he was just a new father and was understandably nervous, so she let him be.
Shen Mo was also worried that she didn't have a good appetite, so he asked her what she wanted to eat every day and then asked Jiang Ning to explain the cooking steps first.
He then followed the steps she instructed him to take.
Shen Mo is smart; she can remember what she says after hearing it only once.
Although the taste is palatable, it's nowhere near as delicious as the ginger and lemon version.
Jiang Ning didn't mind at all, and even gave a compliment during the meal.
Every time Shen Mo heard this, he became even more motivated to cook the next time, without any self-doubt.
After Zhiqi heated the bathwater, Jiang Ning took a bath first, went to bed, and then waited for Shen Mo to come back before lying down on his abs to sleep.
She didn't experience any of the discomforts typical of pregnancy, but she was unusually attached to Shen Mo, a symptom that seemed to be a pregnancy symptom.
Pregnant women are much more emotionally sensitive during pregnancy than when they are not pregnant, and she now deeply understands this.
After Jiang Ning waited for Shen Mo to finish showering and return, she dawdled into bed and immediately lay down on Shen Mo's abs, hugging his waist.
Shen Mo's body stiffened for a second the moment Jiang Ning hugged him.
Ever since he found out his wife was pregnant, he's been eating vegetarian food for a while now, and it seems he's reached a breaking point.
He's been on leave for the past month and hasn't returned to the unit for training; he's been working with an excessive amount of energy.
Jiang Ning's only reaction since becoming pregnant has been drowsiness; she feels sleepy as soon as she senses the familiar presence around her.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard the man whisper in her ear—
"young married woman......"
"Hmm?" Jiang Ning responded groggily.
The man breathed hot air into her ear hesitantly, "Can...can you touch it?"
Jiang Ning felt ticklish from his touch and mumbled in confusion, "Touch her?"
She took a second to process what she was doing, then pulled Shen Mo's large hand to her stomach.
"Go ahead and touch it."
Shen Mo: "......."
He... wasn't talking about the baby in her belly, my wife is really sleepy.
Shen Mo endured for a long time, his forehead veins bulging, looking as if he had reached a breaking point. He then reached out and pulled Jiang Ning's hand over—
Jiang Ning was instantly brought back to her senses by the scalding heat, and when she looked up, she met a pair of resentful eyes.
Jiang Ning was amused by his resentful look and suddenly felt like teasing him. She smiled and said, "You refused when I offered to help you before."
Shen Mo's face visibly flushed red.
After going to the hospital for a check-up, he remembered what the doctor said: it's best not to sleep together.
He had to do whatever the doctor said, but his wife needed to hold him every night to sleep comfortably. On the first night he moved into Zhiqi's room, his wife dragged him back.
Then his wife explained to him that sleeping together wouldn't cause any problems, as long as they didn't do anything inappropriate for children. He solemnly promised at the time, but his promise was broken after only two days.
His wife offered to help him, but he refused, and he ended up enduring it for almost a month.
This was also the first time Jiang Ning discovered his amazing patience.
That's why he suddenly reacted today, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but tease him.
After struggling for a while, worried that Jiang Ning would get tired, Shen Mo tried to calm his breathing and said, "I... I was just saying."
Jiang Ning chuckled lightly, exposing his lie, "Then why don't you let me go?"
Shen Mo was now able to accurately guess that she was teasing him, so he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
After realizing what was happening, Jiang Ning paused for a second before responding to him.
Her breath was completely eroded, and Jiang Ning's breathing was stolen away, leaving her gradually unable to breathe.
This man's kissing skills are getting better and better. When he's tongue-tied, he even finds this way to 'rebel' against her.
In the darkness, their breathing became rapid, and Jiang Ning reached out and pushed the other person away.
After the kiss, Shen Mo hugged her, making sure not to press on Jiang Ning's stomach.
Noticing that he wasn't making any further moves, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you need my help?"
Shen Mo took a moment to catch his breath and said without hesitation, "After you've had three months."
It's best to be cautious for now.
Jiang Ning lay back on top of him. If he was willing to hold back, then she wouldn't insist.
Seeing that Jiang Ning had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye, Shen Mo lowered his head and gently touched Jiang Ning's forehead.
I feel helpless.
That heartless little brat.

Time flew by and it was time for Shen Mo's vacation to end.
On the day Shen Mo returned to the army for training, his father drove his mother and family to the family compound to pick up Jiang Ning and Huo Zhiqi for a shopping trip.
Pregnant women don't need to stay home and rest every day; it's better to take walks occasionally.
Shen's mother considered moving to the family compound to take better care of Jiang Ning, but she was worried that there weren't enough rooms in the small compound. If she moved there, Zhiqi would have to move to the military dormitory, and she didn't want to be that kind of wicked grandmother.
As soon as Jiang Ning got into the car, Shen Qianqian took Jiang Ning's hand and reported the day's itinerary, "Second sister-in-law, today we're going to a photo studio to take pictures."
Jiang Ning was still calculating when the results would be released. Exam results usually come out in about 30 days, and today was also the day when the results would be released.
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll check the results after the photos are taken."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ms. Shen turned her head and said, "Ningning's grades will definitely be fine."
Shen Qianqian grasped Jiang Ning's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, I believe in you too."
Jiang Ning discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Shen seemed to have a strange confidence in her. She was born in the countryside, and even Grandpa Shen questioned her, but Mr. and Mrs. Shen never questioned her from beginning to end.
Upon arriving in the city, they went into an old-fashioned photo studio.
This is the largest photo studio in the capital, with a wide variety of clothing styles and vibrant colors that are dazzling to the eye.
Jiang Ning observed the current aesthetic, which differed from the minimalist style of the present day. Instead, it featured various combinations, bold and distinctive.
