While Zong Jia went to get water, Li Guizhi quickly pulled her daughter aside and emphasized, "Xiao Li, you're pregnant, you absolutely can't..."
Jiang Xiaoli immediately understood what she meant, and said shyly, "Oh dear, Mom, you're really overthinking it!"
Li Guizhi observed her for a while and only felt relieved when she felt that her daughter had not lied.
She whispered, "Don't think I'm being nosy. It's only a few months, just bear with it."
Jiang Xiaoli really wanted to run away with her head in her hands at that moment. When she saw Zong Jiayu coming over with a water glass, she quickly stood up.
"Ayu, you chat with Mom for a while, I'm going back to my room for a nap."
After she left, Zong Jia was also subtly hinted at by Li Guizhi, but he was very polite, listening attentively and nodding in agreement when necessary.
Zong Jia's humble and receptive attitude earned high praise from Li Guizhi. "Ayu, you're so sensible! I won't say much more, but Xiao Li is a bit of a show-off. If she acts up, you can't let her get away with it, you know?"
"Mom, don't worry, what Xiaolizi and I are most looking forward to right now is welcoming the baby into the world safely."
Li Guizhi laughed, "Okay, that's good to hear. You've been working non-stop for several days, go and take a rest."
Zong Jiayu really needed to rest. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mom, today is Xiaolizi's birthday. I ordered a cake to be delivered at noon. Could you please sign for it?"
"No problem!" Li Guizhi said with a smile. "You should go and rest."
When Jiang Xiaoli woke up from her nap, she found herself lying in a familiar, warm embrace. She instinctively snuggled closer to that warmth.
Zong Jia opened his eyes instantly. He reached out and pressed down the person who was rubbing against him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little Pear, stop fooling around."
She then fully came to her senses and, feeling a little embarrassed by his strange behavior, said, "Hehe, Ayu, I didn't mean to."
Zong Jia took a deep breath, then rolled over and got out of bed.
He checked the time. "Little Pear, I'm going to take a shower. You need to rest a bit; it'll be lunchtime soon."
Jiang Xiaoli spread her arms and legs out on the bed in a "big" shape. "My life now is just eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Aunt Fang and Mom seem to be raising pigs."
Zong Jiayu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and pinched her cheek. "Little Pear Pig should eat more. Look how thin you are."
She rubbed her face in distress, "I don't know when I became naturally thin. I eat a lot every day, but I just don't gain weight."
Zong Jia comforted her, "Didn't Aunt Fang say that you'll grow bigger in three or four months? You can't complain about getting fat then."
She pouted, "I hope it only grows in my belly and not anywhere else."
"Hehe," Zong Jiayu coaxed her, "Little Pear will definitely get what she wants."
