Chapter 36 Morning Sickness
So who exactly said that Qi Chenyan is an old cadre without any worldly desires?
He could easily charm people, making them blush and their hearts race, but he didn't even change his expression. How infuriating!
Sure enough, the comments online were quite harmful.
"I just wanted to turn off the alarm, not touch your face. I'm a model citizen, don't slander me."
Despite saying that, Yu Li ran faster than anyone else.
Qi Chenyan watched his wife cover her face and flee in panic, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Slow down, don't run. If you don't want to touch me, then don't. You can touch me next time."
The only response to Qi Chenyan's sarcastic remark was the heavy slam of the door shut by Yu Li.
Yu Li washed her face and looked in the mirror. It was still wet, but she couldn't hide her flushed face.
Why did she run away first? She acts like she's so humble, she's so useless!
It's like playing a game. When the game starts, you see that the opponent is a pro player, and before they even use their skills, you're already scared and give up.
"Yu Xiaoli, when did you become such a coward? No, pull yourself together! You're a rising star at Zhejiang TV, how can you let a man's flirting defeat you?"
"It's not like I've never been confessed to by a guy. Where did that ruthless nun who used to crush women and reject people without even blinking an eye go?"
After Yu Li rallied her spirits, she finally regained her confidence and strode out the door with her head held high.
"Madam, you're awake? Breakfast is ready. Your husband is already waiting for you in the dining room."
The housekeeper was chosen by Yu Li beforehand; she's a young woman fluent in eight languages, not even thirty yet.
She is very capable; she has already mastered all kinds of housekeeping tasks in just a few days since arriving at the seaside villa.
What's most amazing is her cooking skills. Just like her fluency in eight languages, she can also cook dishes from eight different countries.
So far, Yu Li has never eaten the same breakfast twice.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is no different from having eight Michelin-starred chefs at home.
So this is the power of money?
Yu Li thanked him, and as she sat down, Qi Chenyan's gaze fell on her.
Feeling that she couldn't afford to lose face, Yu Li raised her eyes and stared back at him.
Making small talk: "Why are you still at home today? Usually, Secretary Chen would come to pick you up for work at this time."
Qi Chenyan slowly cut a layered beef patty into small, bite-sized pieces, laid them out on a small plate, and then moved them to Yu Li's side.
She replied calmly, "I have to go to work, but I've recently adjusted my schedule, so it won't be as rushed as before."
"At least, I still have time to have breakfast with you."
He said in a joking tone, "So that when the child is born in the future, you won't tell the child that he has a father who is rarely seen."
Yu Li was stunned for a moment before she realized that he wasn't not busy, but rather that he had set aside some time so that he could spend more time with her.
No wonder I could still see him in bed when I opened my eyes this morning.
But he had said before that he was busy with work and often traveled for work, so even after getting married, he didn't have much time to take care of her and the children.
Instead, they simply and crudely threw a black card at her, as if to leave her to fend for herself?
How come after getting married and living together, Qi Chenyan's actions now are completely different from what he said before?
Yu Li touched the tip of her nose, feeling warm inside, and said, "Actually, I understand that your work requires you to travel frequently. I was mentally prepared when we got married."
"So you don't need to make any special changes for me. Now that we're husband and wife, I'll try my best to get used to you... Ugh!"
As she spoke, Yu Li put a small piece of layered beef patty into her mouth.
But as soon as she put the food in her mouth, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea rising from her stomach.
She didn't even finish her sentence before covering her mouth and rushing to the bathroom.
Qi Chenyan immediately put down his chopsticks and followed, but he didn't go in directly. Instead, he knocked on the door from the outside, his face grim.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or did you not like today's breakfast?"
All that could be heard from inside was the sound of Yu Li vomiting in discomfort.
For Yu Li, who is usually lively and talkative, she only doesn't respond immediately when asked a question if she is feeling really upset.
Although Qi Chenyan hadn't spent a long time with Yu Li, he had gotten to know his little wife quite well.
Realizing something was wrong, he took out his phone. "Yu Li, don't panic, I'll call the doctor right away..."
However, before Qi Chenyan could call the doctor, he was stopped by the housekeeper.
"Sir, don't worry too much. Your wife's condition is probably just morning sickness, which is very normal and almost every pregnant woman experiences it."
"It must be because the beef patties were too oily that your wife suddenly felt nauseous. I've made some grapefruit tea to help cut through the grease. You should let her drink some; it should make her feel a little better."
The housekeeper reacted quickly. Compared to Qi Chenyan, who was flustered and had to call a doctor, the housekeeper was very considerate and thoughtful, first brewing some refreshing tea to cleanse his palate.
Qi Chenyan had read the rules for pregnant women and knew about morning sickness, but his brows were still furrowed.
"She had no morning sickness before, and was lively and energetic, just like a normal person. Why did she suddenly vomit today?"
The housekeeper speculated: "Perhaps every pregnant woman's body is different. My wife is now a month and a half pregnant. Many pregnant women experience pregnancy reactions around this time."
Although that's what he said, Qi Chenyan was still not entirely at ease.
As they were talking, Yu Li finally opened the door and came out.
She was covered in sweat, and her usually rosy complexion was unusually pale because of the discomfort.
Qi Chenyan didn't ask anything. He simply bent down slightly, put one hand around her knee, and put the other hand around her waist, and steadily lifted her up.
Yu Li was a little weak from vomiting, and when the man picked her up, she didn't struggle. Instead, she leaned her head against his chest.
Are you still feeling very uncomfortable?
Qi Chenyan carefully placed her on the leather sofa, and Yu Li just shook her head weakly.
Qi Chenyan knelt down on one knee on the Persian carpet and fed her the cup of grapefruit tea he had just brewed.
"Drink some to cut through the greasiness and soothe your stomach."
Yu Li sipped her drink slowly.
Qi Chenyan used his free hand to carefully wipe her sweat.
"Don't cook greasy dishes anymore, especially for breakfast. Your stomach hasn't recovered from waking up, which makes it easier to cause morning sickness."
These words were given to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was already aware of these basic precautions.
It's just that Yu Li hadn't shown any signs of morning sickness before, so the housekeeper prepared her meals according to her usual eating habits, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse today.
"I'm much better now. I thought I was in great health and an exception, that I wouldn't have morning sickness. I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly."
