Chapter 293: Gossip
Xiao Jinlin looked at her with eyes so soft that they almost melted into a pool of water. He touched her hair lovingly and said, "I'll be back to accompany you after I finish my work."
Chen Xinyue snuggled into his arms and asked, "Should we notify grandpa and grandma or my parents? What should we do next?"
The honeymoon period that we had originally planned hasn’t ended yet, which is a bit of a pity.
Xiao Jinlin met her aggrieved look and hugged her tighter. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to have a baby so soon. Why don't you stay at home and take good care of yourself. After the first three months, notify the elders. During this time, I'll ask Auntie to pay attention to her diet."
Chen Xinyue nodded obediently.
It just so happened that she had recently started to have morning sickness, and she felt that something was wrong with her whole body, as if she had no energy, was always lazy and wanted to sleep, and her mind was not as clear as before.
The most important thing is that I easily feel nauseous after eating, which is somewhat embarrassing in front of my elders.
After the two of them had discussed it, Xiao Jinlin immediately told the nanny about the situation and asked her to pay attention to Chen Xinyue's diet.
The nanny has been with Xiao Jinlin for several years. Although Xiao Jinlin is a little cold, he is a good boss and generous to them. The nanny sincerely hopes for the well-being of the host family, so she immediately takes it seriously and happily goes out to prepare meals for the pregnant woman.
Over the next few days, Chen Xinyue peacefully spent her days taking care of her pregnancy, not leaving the house, and it was such a comfortable life.
But there are always people who can't bear to see her living such a comfortable life.
When Xiao Jinchen received the news that Xiao Jinlin had ended her honeymoon early and returned to work, he felt strange and sent someone to keep an eye on it. Upon noticing, he discovered something was wrong.
I took advantage of the weekend to go back to my parents' house to visit my wife and children and told them about this.
Mu Qinglian was very shocked. "You said your brother and his wife had already returned to the capital? But Xinyue didn't go back to work? What's going on?"
Xiao Jinchen looked indifferent, "How should I know? I just heard it from others."
Guo Lingyue was so happy that she immediately pretended to be worried, "Mom, is there a conflict between my brother-in-law and his wife? That shouldn't be the case! Weren't they very loving in the beginning? Grandpa and grandma were also very satisfied with my sister-in-law as their granddaughter-in-law!"
Mu Qinglian felt uneasy after hearing what she said. She couldn't help but feel regretful when she thought about the set of jade jewelry she had given away on impulse.
Subconsciously, she wanted to call Xiao Jinlin, but just as she picked up the phone, she remembered that every time she encountered problems, she would call him to question him, but in the end she was embarrassed. She didn't know what was going on this time. If it was a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
Thinking of this, she put down her phone again.
Xiao Jinchen and his wife were a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.
Mu Qinglian held it in for two days, and when she couldn't hold it in any longer, she went to find Old Madam Xiao.
"Mom, do you know that Jinlin and his wife are back?"
Madam Xiao was a little surprised. She calculated the time and suddenly realized, "That's right. It's been more than two months. It's time to come back. It's rare that you still miss them."
Mu Qinglian smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, I just found out yesterday. I heard that they came back early before their honeymoon was over. Jinlin went to work at the company and Xinyue didn't go either. I don't know what happened. I'm just worried! I thought they came here often, maybe you know something."
After hearing what Mu Qinglian said, Madam Xiao's expression finally changed, and she called Xiao Jinlin directly in front of her.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Jinlin motioned the department manager to go out, and then replied softly: "Grandma, I'm in the company!"
When Mu Qinglian heard the tone of her youngest son's voice, she couldn't help feeling sad. Her youngest son had never been so affectionate to her.
Madam Xiao ignored Mu Qinglian and continued to ask, "I heard that you and Xinyue came back before your honeymoon was over. What happened?"
"Grandma is so well-informed! I originally wanted to bring Xinyue to your place after some time." Xiao Jinlin felt helpless.
Madam Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “From the tone of your voice, you two didn’t quarrel.”
Xiao Jinlin laughed, "Grandma, we can't quarrel. Besides, I don't dare to make her angry now! Xinyue is pregnant."
"Really!" Madam Xiao stood up excitedly, looked at the dumbfounded Mu Qinglian, and said incoherently: "Wait, I'll go to the alley to see Xinyue now. You guys are really, how can you keep such a big thing secret? You are ignorant!"
Xiao Jinlin didn't get angry when being scolded, and he took all the responsibility on himself.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately sent a message to Chen Xinyue.
Here, Madam Xiao changed her clothes excitedly. When she saw Mu Qinglian was still there, she asked, "Do you want to go with me?"
Mu Qinglian was a little hesitant.
Madam Xiao knew from seeing her like that that she wanted to go but couldn't bring herself to do it, so she took advantage of her good mood and said, "Then let's go, come with me and take a look."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a car to the alley.
Chen Xinyue was already waiting in the yard at the door.
Seeing that Mu Qinglian was also there, he immediately called out to her with a smile. His friendly and likable appearance made people feel comfortable just by looking at him.
Mu Qinglian's awkwardness disappeared after seeing Chen Xinyue.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the engagement party and wedding.
Madam Xiao grabbed Chen Xinyue's hand and complained, "You guys are really good. You hid such a big thing as pregnancy! Do you plan to keep it a secret until the birth?"
"No, no, no," Chen Xinyue quickly shook her head and explained, "Grandma, we found out during our honeymoon. I was not in a good state at the time, feeling drowsy and retching from time to time. I was afraid that you would worry if you knew, so Jinlin and I agreed to wait until the first three months, when the pregnancy reactions disappear.
My morning sickness has improved a lot recently, and I think it will be fine in a month or two."
Only then did Mrs. Xiao feel relieved.
Mu Qinglian asked about Chen Xinyue's diet.
Chen Xinyue immediately praised the nanny, "Auntie is a good cook. She cooks for me in different ways. She is also good at cooking the seafood I like."
Mu Qinglian nodded and said with a smile: "These people were carefully selected by your grandmother to be by Jinlin's side. They must have some real skills."
Everyone was happy to hear this.
Seeing that Chen Xinyue was fine, still in the early stages of pregnancy and with a flat belly, he just told her to have a good rest and left.
On the way back, Old Madam Xiao specifically told Mu Qinglian not to tell anyone about this.
Mu Qinglian thought it was just a matter of custom and agreed without thinking.
When she got home, Guo Lingyue started asking during dinner, "Mom, I heard that you went to grandma's this afternoon. Did grandma say anything?"
Mu Qinglian thought of what Old Madam Xiao had said, her expression indifferent, and she shook her head slightly.
Xiao Bai then realized that his wife had gone to the old house, and he pondered, "I heard from Jinchen that Jinlin came back a long time ago, and Jinlin's wife didn't go to the company. Did they have a fight?"
