When Bai Xiaoruo got home, Xuan Mingyu had not yet gotten off work.
Aunt Qin was already cooking. Since she didn't know Bai Xiaoruo was pregnant, she was making her usual signature dishes.
"Young Madam is back. The food will be ready soon, and it's all your favorite dishes." Aunt Qin brought out a plate of freshly cooked osmanthus pork from the kitchen.
A rich aroma wafted over, a scent that Bai Xiaoruo usually loved. But now, for some reason, the smell made her feel nauseous and nauseous.
She covered her mouth and immediately ran to the bathroom.
"Oh, young mistress, what's wrong?" Aunt Qin quickly followed.
Bai Xiaoruo leaned over the sink and dry heaved for a while, but couldn't vomit anything. She just felt nauseous.
"Young Madam, are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor to come and take a look at you," Aunt Qin said, standing to the side and gently patting her back.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
For the past few days, she has been vomiting everything she eats, and she can't even stand the smell. If she hadn't gone for a check-up today, Bai Xiaoruo wouldn't have known that it was because she was pregnant.
Aunt Qin brought over a glass of warm water, which Bai Xiaoruo took and drank in one gulp. "No need, Aunt Qin, I'm fine. I went to the hospital today, and I... I'm pregnant."
"Oh, I see..." Aunt Qin was initially unconvinced, but after a few seconds she realized what Bai Xiaoruo meant and was very happy for her. "What? You're pregnant? Young Madam, is it true? You're really pregnant?"
"Yes, the doctor said it's seven weeks already." Bai Xiaoruo nodded. At first, she found it hard to believe, but after so many tests and receiving confirmation from the doctor, it must be true.
"Oh my, this is truly a joyous occasion! Have the master and mistress heard about it? Have they told the young master?"
“He already knows. I went to the hospital with him for a check-up today, and... we've made up. We just haven't had a chance to tell his grandparents yet.”
"Alright, alright, it's good that you've made up. You two should live a harmonious and happy life together, and stop arguing. I'll go and talk to the master for you. If they find out, they'll definitely rush over to see you, young mistress."
Aunt Qin was even more thoughtful than Bai Xiaoruo. "Oh dear, look at my brain! Young Madam, you're pregnant now, you can't eat such greasy food anymore. I'll go and make you some light soup, you can drink some later, it's good for both the baby and you."
"Okay, sure." Bai Xiaoru yawned, feeling a little tired. She had gone to bed early last night, but now she was sleepy again. "Aunt Qin, I'll go upstairs to sleep for a while. You can come up and wake me up when dinner is ready."
"Alright, young mistress, you should go now. Make sure you're covered up well while you sleep, so you don't catch a cold."
"Yes, I know."
***
In the evening, Xuan Mingyu returned to the new courtyard from the company after get off work.
As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the aroma of stewing soup, but I didn't see Bai Xiaoruo.
Hearing the noise at the door, Aunt Qin came out of the kitchen.
"Young Master, you're back."
Since Bai Xiaoruo and Xuan Mingyu had their cold war, it's rare to see Xuan Mingyu come back at this time.
"Hmm, where's Bai Xiaoruo? Hasn't she come back yet?"
"Oh, she's back. The young mistress came back quite early. She said she was sleeping upstairs because she was tired. Young master, could you please go and call her down? I've made some soup for her."
"good."
Hsien Ming-yu changed out of his coat and hung it on the coat rack before heading upstairs.
......
Upon entering the master bedroom, Bai Xiaoruo was still asleep, breathing lightly, curled up in the blankets.
As Xian Mingyu approached, the person on the bed groaned, seemingly awakened by his footsteps, and suddenly opened their eyes.
When Bai Xiaoruo saw Xian Mingyu, she thought she was dreaming.
As she gradually regained consciousness, she rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up in bed. "Um, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'll come back to be with you after get off work."
He sat down on the edge of her bed and pulled the blanket up around her, worried that she might be cold from wearing too little clothing. "Have you had enough sleep?"
Bai Xiaoru shook her head, and after sitting up for a while, she leaned her head against Xian Mingyu's chest again, "I still want to sleep so much, I can never get enough sleep."
"Get up and eat something first, then go back to sleep."
She's not in one body anymore; she also needs to supplement the nutrition of the baby in her belly, so she needs to eat even more than before.
A malnourished and anemic mother is not good for the baby's development and must be taken even more seriously.
"Um... Ah! That's right!" She exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. "Right, right, I almost forgot something important." She gripped Xuan Mingyu's suit tightly; she still needed his help with this.
"What important matter?"
"That... Gu Yao, is he your assistant, right?"
"how?"
"Could you give me his phone number?"
Gu Yao's phone call?
Someone's face immediately darkened.
What is this little girl up to now?
Why would she want another man's phone number for no reason? She's never been this eager to ask for his number before.
"Can't."
Why?
"Why do you want his phone number? Are you planning to contact him behind my back?"
He gently pinched her cheek. If she weren't pregnant, he would have lifted her off the bed and spanked her.
