Chapter 288 Mrs. Shen, so easy to coax
"Would you like something to eat?"
Shen Xichuan put his arm around Xu Jialan's shoulders and came to the sofa.
Mrs. Shen went to the kitchen and the housekeeper followed.
Xu Jialan touched his bulging belly and thought for a moment, "I'll have some clear soup noodles, the kind with vegetables."
Shen Xichuan nodded, “Okay, I’ll do it for you.”
"Um."
Seeing Shen Xichuan coming to the kitchen, Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is it? What does Lanlan want to eat? I see that the chef has prepared a lot of light dishes. She can't stay away from eating all the time, and her stomach will be uncomfortable."
Shen Xichuan untied his sleeves and rolled them up, “Noodles, I’ll make it.”
The butler immediately made way.
He knew that Xu Jialan’s favorite food was made by Shen Xichuan.
Even though all the chefs in Courtyard No. 1 are top-notch chefs.
But sometimes, eating food is not only about top-notch cooking skills, but also about the care put into it.
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen also made way for her, “Okay, you do it, I’ll go out and accompany her.”
Shen Xichuan hummed and concentrated on cooking the noodles.
…
Ten minutes later.
Shen Xichuan came out with a bowl of clear soup noodles.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a pleasant conversation in the living room.
They were all talking about the children's clothes and the layout of the baby room in the old house.
Xu Jialan smiled more often and his face didn't look so pale anymore.
Shen Xichuan glanced towards the living room, his brows relaxed.
After he put down the noodles, he came to the living room to call Xu Jialan.
Xu Jialan sat down at the dining table and looked at the simple clear soup noodles in front of him. He had no appetite at first, but suddenly his appetite was stimulated again.
Seeing that she could eat, Shen Xichuan's expression was obviously much more relaxed.
He poured a glass of warm water beside it and said, "Eat slowly, don't rush."
Xu Jialan hummed and ate the noodles in small bites.
The housekeeper also brought Shen Xichuan and Mrs. Shen a breakfast prepared by the chef.
It is also a relatively light breakfast.
I’m just afraid that Xu Jialan will feel uncomfortable when he smells it.
The three of them had breakfast together.
Mrs. Shen also mentioned the decoration of the baby room in the old house and asked Shen Xichuan for his opinion.
"I've already had the room next to yours vacated, but once you and your wife have decided on how to arrange it, just tell me and I'll have it ready before the baby is born."
Shen Xichuan nodded, “Okay, I’ll think about it.”
Seeing that he was not in a hurry at all, Mrs. Shen said again, “Don’t think too long. When the arrangements are completed, you will have to wait for a while before you can move in. Otherwise, it will be too late.”
The due date is close to the end of the year.
She also thought that during the Chinese New Year, Shen Xichuan and his family of three would be able to go home for the New Year.
“I know.” Shen Xichuan poured her a glass of milk and placed it next to her, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, we will tell you when we have thought it through.”
Mrs. Shen looked at the milk at hand and hummed softly, “That’s the best.”
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Mrs. Shen drank a sip of milk, looked at Xu Jialan, and said, "Lanlan, you are responsible for supervising him and don't let him fool me all the time."
Xu Jialan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, Mom."
"Yeah, that's good."
Shen Xichuan: “…”
Mrs. Shen didn't stay long either.
After breakfast, he gave Xu Jialan some instructions and left in a hurry.
Shen Xichuan sat next to Xu Jialan and pressed her waist, "Are you tired? If you are sleepy, go to sleep."
I was woken up too early today.
After vomiting violently, I went to the hospital and stayed there for a while.
How can I not be tired?
Xu Jialan leaned on the man's shoulder, drowsy, "I don't want to move."
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes to look at her face, chuckled, and hummed, “I’ll hug you, okay?”
Xu Jialan nodded.
The man bent down and held her firmly in his arms.
Even though she was already five months pregnant and her belly was showing, it was not difficult for Shen Xichuan to hold her.
On the contrary, it looks very easy.
Xu Jialan leaned on the bed and watched the man cover her with a quilt. "I don't know if you can still hold me when my belly gets bigger."
Shen Xichuan raised his eyes, “Mrs. Shen, what joke are you talking about?”
Xu Jialan: “???”
“The whole world is in my arms, how dare I let go?” Shen Xichuan said in a calm tone.
It seemed as if he was saying the calmest thing.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a few seconds, then came to his senses, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the man who lifted the quilt beside him.
"What did you say just now? I didn't hear clearly."
Shen Xichuan lay beside her and looked at her sideways, “Are you not sleepy now?”
Xu Jialan tugged at his pajamas and said, "I just didn't hear it. Don't change the subject."
The man reached out and carefully held her in his arms, "What do you want to hear?"
"Just that sentence."
"You are my whole world."
Shen Xichuan didn’t tease her anymore and said it word by word.
Xu Jialan leaned in his arms, her bright eyes slightly curved, "Yeah."
It can be heard that she is very happy, Shen Xichuan habitually patted her back, “Mrs. Shen, are you so easy to coax?”
"Is it easy to coax?"
Xu Jialan raised his head from his arms.
The man lowered his eyes to look at her, with a doting smile on his lips, "I should be able to do it."
He didn't say directly that she was easy to coax.
But as long as it was to coax her, he would do it.
Xu Jialan smiled, leaned against his chest, and listened to the strong heartbeat.
She stroked her bulging belly gently and said, "Do you think it will be difficult to coax the child in the future?"
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes to look at his bulging belly through the quilt, paused, and said, "It should be difficult."
Both of them are inexperienced new parents.
Never raised a child.
But I have also seen some children crying incessantly, which can sometimes be quite a headache.
Xu Jialan sighed, "What should we do then?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear the man's voice for a long time.
Thought he was asleep.
Xu Jialan glanced sideways.
I saw Shen Xichuan seemed to be in a trance, and I didn’t know what he was thinking.
She asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Xichuan touched her face and said, “I was thinking, should I read some parenting books later?”
Xu Jialan was stunned. "Why is it after a while?"
"I haven't finished reading my latest book yet, so I'll have to wait for a while," he said.
"So what book are you reading recently?" Xu Jialan asked curiously.
Shen Xichuan said calmly, “Postpartum body recovery plan, and confinement guide.”
He has already read all the ones about pregnancy.
Naturally, we have to start looking at the postpartum period.
As for parenting, we’ll talk about it later.
Nothing is more important than taking care of Xu Jialan.
Even children have to sit in the back row.
Xu Jialan was stunned, "......?"
