Chapter 145 The Child Follows His Father
I fell asleep feeling a little lost.
When I got up the next day, Shen Yixiao had already finished breakfast with Lu Xiaoyun and was about to go to work. When he saw me coming, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face. He walked over and whispered to me, "Wife, she got up early, so I had breakfast with her and was about to go to the company. You should hurry up and have breakfast."
I nodded and glanced at Lu Xiaoyun, who was staring at the two of us.
After Shen Yixiao left, I sat at the dining table. There were some pickled vegetables and thick black rice porridge on the table. I usually don’t like to eat these. Even if I drink porridge, I drink thinner millet porridge with a little bit of sugar.
But Lu Xiaoyun’s taste is different from mine. She is very fond of all kinds of heavy-flavored dishes. She even puts salt in the porridge, which makes it so salty that I can’t eat it at all.
"Don't make such a terrible breakfast in the future. If your cooking skills continue to deteriorate, just collect your salary and leave." I said indifferently to the servant who was responsible for making breakfast.
"Madam, Miss Lu said she is pregnant and wants to eat salty porridge and pickles..." the servant answered innocently.
I glanced at Lu Xiaoyun and smiled, "Oh, I almost forgot there's a pregnant woman. Just make a separate portion for her. Shen Yixiao and I can't eat this."
Shen Yixiao and I didn’t eat well before. We always bought the cheapest vegetables or made some pickled vegetables, which directly damaged our stomachs.
Now we are both similar, and eating these dishes can easily induce stomach pain and bloating. It’s okay to eat them occasionally, but not too much.
Lu Xiaoyun put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at me aggrievedly, "It's not me who wants to eat, it's the baby in my belly who wants to eat. Mr. Shen said that if the baby wants to eat, he will want to eat too. After all, the child's taste will follow the father's."
The servant's face turned pale and he looked at me cautiously, with a hint of sympathy deep in his eyes.
Shen Yixiao and I were so loving, but he suddenly brought home a pregnant secretary and even let her live in our house. The servants were all shocked, but they didn't dare to say anything.
They all signed confidentiality agreements. If they said anything wrong, they would have to pay a huge amount of compensation that they couldn't even imagine, so Shen Yixiao and I felt more at ease.
"So I told you to let Auntie make a special portion for you. Why, do you want all of us to eat your favorite flavors together with you?" I laughed contemptuously, "However, you can ask Shen Yixiao to eat with you. He can eat if he wants. You are not carrying my child."
Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with resentment. She liked to use such trivial matters to make her presence felt and replace me step by step.
She is very concerned about her position as the mistress of the house.
In the previous life, she slowly changed the taste of the servants' cooking, the arrangement of soft furnishings, and Shen Yixiao's dressing style. She changed everything in the house silently and submissively. I was busy complaining about myself every day, worried that the child was not close enough to me, and had no time to argue with her about these things.
The maid knew, of course, that I was the mistress of the house at the moment, and she replied, "Yes, ma'am, I'll remember that."
"Go ahead and do it." I ordered.
The servant quickly made me another breakfast of my favorite flavor. I ate my breakfast leisurely under Lu Xiaoyun's unwilling look. Just as I finished, Jiang Fang came downstairs yawning.
Jiang Fang was wearing a milky white suspender nightgown, revealing her beautiful snow-white right-angled shoulders. She wasn't even wearing any underwear, revealing her spring scenery. The hem of her skirt was very short, only reaching a little below her legs. She looked youthful and sexy. I wonder what would happen if Shen Yixiao saw this scene.
When Lu Xiaoyun saw what Jiang Fang was wearing, she immediately exploded. She stood up and yelled, "Jiang Fang, is it appropriate for you to wear this? Go change it quickly!"
"Why is it inappropriate? I'm not without clothes." Jiang Fang didn't take Lu Xiaoyun's words seriously at all. She sat down at the dining table and started eating, throwing her shoes aside and crossing her legs. Her long, white thighs were very dazzling, and her feet in the white skirt were slightly curled, giving her a wild vibe.
As I watched this scene, I felt that bringing Jiang Fang back was an extremely correct decision.
Lu Xiaoyun's face turned dark. She was pregnant now and she dared not put on makeup or spray perfume, and even dared not wear high heels. After all, the baby in her belly was her cash cow and she had to treat it with caution.
When a woman is pregnant, what she fears most is that the man will encounter a seductive fox. If this fox lives in the house, it would be a disaster of hell level.
"Is this your home? This is Mr. Shen's home. Mr. Shen is a man. Do you think it's appropriate for you to walk around naked like this?" Lu Xiaoyun was very unhappy.
Jiang Fang smiled evilly, "Sister, don't you know what your status is here? Look, the Madam doesn't mind you living in her house with a big belly, and she certainly won't mind me walking around in pajamas. Isn't it fine as long as she agrees?"
Then she asked me, "Ma'am, do you mind?"
I waved my hand generously, "What's the big deal? Just be careful not to catch a cold."
The temperature at home is kept constant, so even if Jiang Fang walks around in just underwear for 24 hours a day, she won't catch a cold.
My answer made Lu Xiaoyun very angry. I ignored her and left home directly and rushed to my shop.
——
I feel much more comfortable in the store than at home.
As long as people are busy, they will have no time to think about random things. What can make people feel more secure than money? I will transfer all my turnover to my bank card regularly. No matter how free Shen Yixiao is, he has no time to keep an eye on my finances every day.
Now he no longer has any leverage over me. He has my ID card and household registration page, and I have enough money. After my parents move out quietly, I can finally let go.
Thinking of this, I became very motivated. I even sent someone to send a painting to Qiu Xinlian, and I had to maintain the relationship with her on a regular basis.
"Welcome!"
At this time, an unexpected customer came to my shop.
When I saw Li Letong, I was very surprised. Is there really such a coincidence in the world? She had just finished a blind date with Xu Zhengnan when she appeared in my store.
"Sister Li!" Seeing me, Li Letong showed a happy smile on her face and waved at me.
I was a little confused, but I still went to greet her enthusiastically, "Le Tong, why are you here?"
"Aunt Bai told me that you opened a store here, so I came here to find you." Li Letong was holding a small cake in her hand and quickly handed it to me, "Do you like the small cake from last time? I brought you another one."
I do, I’ve always loved desserts growing up.
I took the cake and thanked him, "Thank you, please take a seat."
I took Li Letong to sit at the table where I usually entertained clients and made her some tea. “Are you used to drinking tea?”
"I'm used to it." She took the teacup with both hands, smiling sweetly, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, "Sister Li, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with something."
