Chapter 222 Extra (1) Daily Life After Marriage
One morning, a month after returning from our honeymoon.
Li Mai rarely gets up to make breakfast for her family.
We have a housekeeper at home, so she usually doesn't have to do anything.
Chengcheng and Zhou Songyan both love her pan-fried dumplings.
Just as I was about to take the fried dumplings out of the pan, my stomach churned.
She quickly put down the spatula and ran to the bathroom.
Zhou Songyan had just come downstairs, adjusting his cufflinks.
I saw Li Mai run into the bathroom.
His brows furrowed, and he strode after him.
Li Mai vomited while lying on the toilet.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Zhou Songyan gently patted her back, his tone concerned.
The maid brought over a glass of warm water.
Li Mai vomited for a while, then felt a little better and rinsed her mouth.
Zhou Songyan picked her up and carried her outside.
"Go to the hospital."
Li Mai did not refuse.
She vaguely sensed the reason for her nausea and vomiting.
But we shouldn't tell Zhou Songyan until we get a result.
"Honey, don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Zhou Songyan drove the car onto the road, his expression solemn.
"Honey, close your eyes and rest for a while. We're going to the hospital right away."
"good."
Li Mai obediently closed her eyes.
We arrived at the hospital.
Zhou Songyan wanted to register her for gastroenterology, but Li Mai stopped him, saying, "Honey, register her for gynecology."
Zhou Songyan was stunned.
Li Mai scratched his palm like a kitten.
Zhou Songyan looked down at her.
Li Mai winked playfully at him: "Maybe it's a surprise."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He slowly shifted his gaze to Li Mai's stomach.
"You mean..."
Li Mai nodded: "Don't be too happy yet, maybe not."
Zhou Songyan quickly registered and took Li Mai to the gynecology department to wait.
Along the way, Li Mai buried her head in his arms.
"How embarrassing, put me down."
Zhou Songyan: "Good boy, it's comfortable to hold you."
Li Mai: "..."
An hour later.
Holding the medical report, Zhou Songyan exclaimed in disbelief, "Wife, we have a daughter!"
Li Mai rolled her eyes: "It might not necessarily be a daughter."
She thought of what had just happened.
Zhou Songyan kept pestering the doctor, asking, "Doctor, is it a girl? Are you having a girl?"
The doctor was extremely frustrated.
Tell him, "He's too young to tell."
Zhou Songyan folded the sheet and put it in his pocket, then bent down and picked up Li Mai.
"Wife, let's go home."
Li Mai buried her head in his chest, embarrassed.
Anyway, it's Zhou Songyan who's in an awkward position.
Despite the strange looks coming from those around him, Zhou Songyan kept his eyes straight ahead.
...
On the way back.
Li Mai turned to look at Zhou Songyan several times; the corners of his mouth were always upturned, and his eyebrows were full of smiles.
"Are you that happy? What if it's a son?"
Zhou Songyan: "I love both daughters and sons. But we already have a son, Chengcheng, so I think it would be more perfect if the second child was a daughter."
Li Mai smiled slightly, pursing her lips.
"I thought you only wanted a daughter."
"How could that be? I love all our children."
“Chengcheng will definitely be very happy to hear that.”
Zhou Songyan: "Chengcheng is very smart; he understands my feelings."
Li Maiwan'er.
Indeed, Chengcheng is intelligent and quick-witted. He likes his father, Zhou Songyan, probably because he feels that his father loves him.
Zhou Songyan's phone rang; it was Secretary Sun calling.
"Mr. Zhou, where are you? The meeting is about to start."
Zhou Songyan: "Cancel it first, my wife is pregnant."
Li Mai: "..."
Secretary Sun smiled and said "Congratulations," then tactfully hung up the phone.
Li Mai said coquettishly, "Why did you say that? Your subordinates should think about how dramatic your wife is. She won't let her husband go to work just because she's pregnant, and she even canceled meetings."
Zhou Songyan didn't think there was a problem.
"What's wrong with my wife being a little pretentious?"
Li Mai: "..."
I can't fix it for her.
Zhou Songyan gently comforted her, "Don't worry, they won't talk nonsense. Besides, today's meeting wasn't absolutely necessary. Those people would love for the meeting to be canceled; they don't want to be scolded by me."
...
Rongzheng Group.
Sun Yuanjie announced the meeting was canceled because the president's wife was pregnant and the president couldn't leave.
Everyone was overjoyed.
At the same time, he asked Sun Yuanjie to convey his blessings.
...
After Li Mai became pregnant, Zhou Songyan became extremely anxious and worried about even the smallest things.
For a time, Li Mai was not allowed to go to work.
Li Mai was so worried that she had no choice but to ask Old Mrs. Zhou for help.
"Grandma, you need to control Zhou Songyan. He's restricting my freedom."
Grandma Zhou patted her hand: "Don't worry, Grandma will take care of him."
Grandma Zhou turned her head and glared at her grandson.
What are you doing?
Zhou Songyan: "Working is too tiring, I'm afraid it will tire her out."
Li Mai: "I'm not tired, staying at home is too boring."
Grandma Zhou: "Did you hear that? Mai Mai said she's not tired. As her husband, you should listen to her and not be so self-righteous."
Li Mai thought her grandmother was absolutely right and nodded vigorously.
Zhou Songyan glanced at her.
"Grandma, don't interfere in our affairs."
Grandma Zhou said sternly, "You think I can't control you? It's just going to work, what's the big deal? I believe Mai Mai can protect herself."
Li Mai nodded vigorously again.
She shook Zhou Songyan's arm in a pleading tone: "Honey, I know you're worried about me, but you have to believe me. I love our baby, and I will protect myself and our baby."
Grandma Zhou: "Look how sincere Mai Mai is, how can you bear not to agree?"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He reluctantly compromised.
"I can let you go, but you have to promise me that if you feel unwell, you should tell me immediately and stop working right away."
Li Mai nodded, her eyebrows curving into a smile: "Thank you, my dear husband! You're so good to me!"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Grandma Zhou was very pleased to see how sweet and loving they were.
...
Because Li Mai's belly was unusually large, Zhou Songyan forced her to stop working when she was six months pregnant.
With twins in her belly, Li Mai didn't dare to take any risks and obediently followed instructions this time.
Li Mai never expected to be pregnant with twins.
However, the Zhou family has a twin gene; Zhang Jingran and Zhang Junzheng are twin siblings.
...
Zhou Songyan would take the time to accompany Li Mai to every prenatal checkup and listen carefully to the doctor's instructions.
Hearing from the doctor that pregnant women should move around more, he would go home on time every day, have dinner with Li Mai, and then accompany her for a walk in the neighborhood.
Without fail, he even turned down social engagements.
In the later stages of her pregnancy, Li Mai's legs and feet swelled up.
Zhou Songyan soaks her feet and massages them every night before bed.
She couldn't sleep at night because of leg cramps, and two large hands would gently massage and relieve them.
Li Mai did not stop her.
Zhou Songyan felt that she owed Chengcheng a debt when she gave birth to him, and wanted to give her all the good things in the world and try her best to make up for it.
She wouldn't let Zhou Songyan do it, and Zhou Songyan felt uneasy.
Let him be.
...
She was nearing her due date.
Zhou Songyan no longer goes to the company and works from home.
It also allows for constant monitoring of the quinoa's condition.
The doctor recommended a cesarean section.
Three days before her due date, Li Mai was admitted to the hospital for surgery.
The advantage of a cesarean section is that the delivery time is shorter.
When the nurse pushed two babies out, the Zhou family immediately surrounded them.
The nurse said, "One baby boy and one baby girl."
"Oh my god! One of each! Heaven has been kind to our Zhou family!"
Grandma Zhou was so happy she almost fainted.
