Chapter 191 Be Good, Baby
Wen Jiu couldn't answer Lin Meng's question, but she looked up at the man in the passenger seat.
*
As the car drove along the road, the two people in the front seat barely spoke.
Lin Yuchuan was nervous, glancing at the man beside him every now and then.
I couldn't help but think to myself, just by sitting there, this person made a car worth hundreds of thousands look like it was worth millions.
"I heard from my wife that your wife is pregnant?" he asked carefully, his tone carrying an air of respect.
"Hmm," Zhou Yanchuan replied indifferently.
"How many months has it been?"
"Two and a half months."
Hearing the conversation, Lin Meng turned her head to look at the girl who had already put her head on her shoulder.
It's been more than two months already.
She fell asleep soon after getting on the bus. Lin Meng looked at her; she was already fair-skinned and had a delicate and frail appearance, which became even more pronounced after she became pregnant, making her seem pitiful.
Zhou Yanchuan glanced back and saw the person's brows furrow slightly, signaling the person next to him to slow down.

As Wen Jiu approached her destination, she was jolted awake by a wave of nausea. She frowned and forced herself to endure the discomfort rising in her chest.
Zhou Yanchuan's voice rang out at that moment: "Drink some water first."
She looked up.
Lin Meng's gaze swept over the two of them.
The girl didn't take the cup immediately when it was handed to her. She paused for several seconds before raising her hand to take it and drinking two sips through the straw.
He didn't speak or move after drinking.
Instead, they waited for the person in front to ask, "Have you finished drinking?" before handing it over.
The two barely spoke a few words on the way, and after getting off the bus, they didn't have much contact.
Lin Meng couldn't stand it anymore and asked again, "Honey, what's wrong with you two? She's pregnant."
Wen Jiu recounted Qin You's story.
After listening, Lin Meng frowned: "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"I don't know, he doesn't want to say."
Seeing her aggrieved look, Lin Meng couldn't bear to ask any more questions. She hugged her and said, "Okay, don't think about it anymore. You're here to relax, so don't think about these unhappy things."
"Um."
The guesthouse that Lin Meng and her husband run is called "Yunmeng Courtyard". In addition to them, there are three volunteers who come here to experience life.
Pushing open the door, you are greeted by a courtyard full of flowers, a path paved with bluestone slabs, and a wooden pavilion in the corner with rattan tables and chairs placed under it.
Two girls were sitting around a stove, brewing tea.
Upon seeing them enter, she greeted them with a smile, saying, "Sister Mengmeng, have we had new guests in our little courtyard again?"
Lin Meng's eyes were gentle as she introduced, "They're not guests, they're friends."
Upon hearing this, all the girls' eyes fell on them.
The two men had been eyeing the person as they were asking questions, and their eyes lit up when they saw who it was.
The woman wore a beige cashmere dress, with an oatmeal-colored shawl draped over her shoulders, and her black hair was pulled back in a low bun, gleaming with shine.
She wasn't wearing any makeup, yet her skin was flawless, fair, and translucent.
She wore no conspicuous jewelry, except when she raised her hand, you could see a plain platinum ring on the ring finger of her right hand.
An air of luxury emanates from it.
She's such a beautiful and elegant woman.
Just as the two were immersed in the shock brought by Wen Jiu, a man walked out from behind.
Her eyes seemed to grow even bigger.
Zhou Yanchuan originally wanted to help her up the steps, but as soon as he raised his hand, she took Lin Meng's arm and left.
He pursed his lips and lowered his hand.
Lu Nian noticed this and found it inexplicably funny.
A man who is so powerful outside is completely submissive in front of his wife.
After a long afternoon of travel, Wen Jiu felt dizzy as soon as she landed, but thankfully it was just a minor discomfort.
She didn't show it, and just listened quietly as the girl next to her introduced herself.
"This is Qiuqiu. She was originally a stray cat. She came to our place last year and didn't want to leave."
Wen Jiu looked in that direction and saw a particularly fat white cat.
No wonder it didn't want to leave.
Besides the white cat, there was another very small cat in the corner. As soon as it saw them, it quickly ran away.
However, Wen Jiu still managed to catch a glimpse of that fleeting face.
It's very sweet.
Lin Meng told her that its name was "Xiao Xiao" because it was timid, and that it was a particularly beautiful calico cat.
The guesthouse not only has cats, but also three fish and a turtle.
Looking at the turtle kept in the iron tank, Wen Jiu suddenly thought of the iron tank that Zhou Yanchuan had run away from home.
They searched along the stairs for a long time but couldn't find it.
She unconsciously curved her lips into a smile.
Just as she was about to speak, she looked up and met the gaze of a man not far away who was looking at her.
It was obvious that they were thinking of the same thing.
Wen Jiu pursed her lips, turned her head away, and ignored him.
Zhou Yanchuan smiled, his eyes filled with indulgence and affection, yet also with heartache.
He took his phone and left the room.
After the call connected, his expression turned cold, and his voice was calm: "Ms. Ye, do you think you can still negotiate now?"
Zhou Yanchuan was to leave that evening.
After all that trouble, and with it being so late, Lin Meng suggested he stay the night and leave the next day.
In the living room, Zhou Yanchuan didn't speak, but just looked at the girl in front of him.
Wen Jiu remained silent, offering no advice on whether he should stay or leave.
He said, "I'm not staying. I still have work to do."
Upon hearing Zhou Yanchuan's words, the eyelashes of the person who hadn't reacted before twitched slightly.
He caught it in a soft voice: "I'm leaving soon, aren't you going to see me off?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look at Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu looked up at him, stared for about five or six seconds, and then lowered her gaze again.
"No need to see me out."
Zhou Yanchuan curved his lips into a smile.
"Can I have a hug?"
She remained silent.
Zhou Yanchuan took a step forward and carefully and restrainedly reached out to touch her lower abdomen: "Be good, baby."
Wen Jiu casually retorted, "He can't hear me right now."
He looked up: "I'm talking about you."
Wen Jiu paused for a moment, stunned.
It was at this moment that Zhou Yanchuan hugged her, stroking her back with his hand: "Be good, listen to Aunt Lin."
She felt wronged for no reason.
Why won't you explain Qin You's situation to her when you're so nice to her?
Zhou Yanchuan looked down and met her aggrieved eyes. His heart ached, and he shielded her with his body, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips: "Can you give me two more days? I'll give you an explanation in two days."
Wen Jiu blinked, her gaze moving up his face and landing on his eyes. In the dim light, those eyes looking at her were so affectionate.
Seeing those eyes made her feel terrible.
She didn't say whether it was okay or not, but just said softly, "Aren't you leaving? Don't miss your flight."
Hearing Wen Jiu's cold words, Lu Nian couldn't help but feel sorry for their boss.
Since learning that his wife was pregnant, he has hardly been to the company. He will only go to handle particularly important matters, and spends most of his time by her side.
His wife suffered from morning sickness and couldn't eat, so he went to various places, both domestically and internationally, to find chefs for her.
So that she could eat one more bite.
She's usually very decisive and doesn't listen to anyone, but even after all this coaxing, she still hasn't been appeased.
However, my wife is not an unreasonable person.
I don't know what mistake his boss made.
Zhou Yanchuan went to get the coat that Aunt Lin handed him. As he turned to leave, he glanced at the person next to the sofa and said, "It's cold outside, don't come out to deliver it."
Wen Jiu said calmly, "I never intended to give it to you in the first place."
