Chapter 199 Cautious Little Yellow
Not long after the New Year, Wen Jiu and the others returned to Beijing.
On the day they returned home, as soon as they pushed open the gate to the yard, Xiao Huang rushed over from the nanny.
Zhou Yanchuan pulled the person next to him back.
Unexpectedly, when Little Yellow rushed to their side, it suddenly stopped. Its expression was full of excitement, but it didn't go any further. Instead, it circled around Wen Jiu, sniffing her from left to right.
Seeing the dog's condition, Wen Jiu signaled to Zhou Yanchuan that everything was alright. She gathered her skirt and slowly squatted down.
Although Zhou Yanchuan was worried, he let her do as she pleased, only holding her protectively with one hand at her side.
Wen Jiu raised her hand and patted Xiao Huang's head: "You know Mommy has a baby, so you didn't pounce on her, right?"
Xiao Huang lay on the ground and rolled around next to her legs.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Good girl, did you miss your mom and dad?"
Xiao Huang rubbed against her even more intensely, as if to say: Yes, of course I want to.
The group of nannies, who had been on tenterhooks, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw what was happening at the door.
However, Xiao Huang's reaction was unexpected. When the two were not at home, it was like a little tyrant, destroying the house, climbing walls, and doing all sorts of bad things, keeping them on their toes every day.
Why did these two become so obedient the moment they came back?
As Wen Jiu walked into the house, Xiao Huang followed closely beside her legs.
It was as if it knew she had a baby; ever since she came back, it has stayed by her side without leaving her side.
Even when playing with toys, if Wen Jiu makes any noise, Xiao Huang will immediately lift its head, as if it were a conditioned reflex.
That day, Wen Jiu accidentally knocked over a water glass on the table. Before the nanny could wipe it up, Xiao Huang ran towards her with a box of tissues in his mouth.
Wen Jiu stroked its head, her eyes softening, "You've learned to take care of your mother now."
As if it understood, the little guy wagged its big tail.
Aunt Lin felt a pang of sympathy when she saw the person and the dog.
She had never seen a dog more intelligent than Xiao Huang. Ever since it learned that the woman was pregnant, it had completely changed its personality.
As long as Wen Jiu is at home, she doesn't make a sound.
He didn't sleep in his own little house at night, but instead lay guard at the door of the two-person bedroom, reacting faster than the others at the slightest sound.
However, even with its cautious approach, it is not uncommon for it to make mistakes.
In the evening, Zhou Yanchuan returned from the company.
Aunt Lin reported to him on the girl's situation that day. After the report, Zhou Yanchuan handed his coat to the nanny and loosened his tie with one hand as he walked towards the bedroom.
"Is Xiao Jiu asleep now?"
"They probably haven't gone to sleep yet. They were just sitting on the sofa waiting for you, but their backs started to ache, so they went back to bed."
Zhou Yanchuan responded, and when he saw Xiao Huang by the bedroom door, he put his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh."
Little Huang glanced at him and immediately lay down.
Zhou Yanchuan gave it a thumbs up, gripped the doorknob, and gently pushed the door open.
The room's light source was entirely the glass lamp by the bedside, its dappled light casting soft shadows that bathed the slender figure in gentle hues.
The lace nightgown, made of champagne-colored silk satin, loosely wrapped her body. It was a very simple dress with minimal decoration, the hem reaching her calves, revealing her slender, snow-white ankles.
Wen Jiu was looking at her stomach in the mirror when Zhou Yanchuan came in without her noticing until he put his arm around her waist and she smelled that familiar scent.
She turned to look at him.
He habitually lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"What are you looking at?"
"My belly seems to be getting bigger."
Zhou Yanchuan smiled and said, "It's been more than four months, it should be starting to show."
Wen Jiu gently touched it, then asked as if remembering something, "Have you taken care of things at the company?"
"That's about it."
During the Chinese New Year period, something happened at his company that Wen Jiu was unaware of until Lu Nian let it slip, at which point she told Zhou Yanchuan that she wanted to come back.
Wen Jiu nestled in his arms, gazing tenderly at their reflection in the mirror.
"Zhou Yanchuan, can you tell that your belly is big?"
Zhou Yanchuan looked at her through the mirror.
To be honest, it's not very obvious, but compared to when she was two months old, you can see a slight curve now.
However, he knew she looked forward to seeing changes in the baby every day, so he hugged her and said "Mmm".
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "After a while, you'll be able to touch him."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, isn't that amazing?"
Zhou Yanchuan smiled as he watched her look down at her belly, but his eyes were only for her.
"Yes, that's amazing."
They're going to have a child.
“Oh, right,” Wen Jiu raised her hand and gently nudged him, “I bought a lot of things while shopping today, let me show you.”
Zhou Yanchuan released her, his gaze following her as she walked.
As he watched her walk to the sofa, he noticed that there were many gift bags of various sizes on it.
The warm yellow light cast a pale golden glow on the gift bags piled up beside the sofa. Wen Jiu sat in a corner of the sofa, picked up a pink and white bag, and took out a box with a bear printed on it.
When she opened the box, Zhou Yanchuan realized it was a baby bottle.
Before he could speak, she asked, "Zhou Yanchuan, look at this baby bottle, isn't it cute?"
Zhou Yanchuan looked at the person who was proudly holding up the baby bottle like it was a treasure, and twitched the corner of his lips: "Hmm."
“And this,” Wen Jiu said, glancing at it before immediately picking up a new bag. “Aren’t these shoes cute too? They’re also bear-shaped.”
"And this little skirt."
"This is a pair of overalls."
"I also bought a safety lock for the baby."
...
She held up each item for him to see, her eyes shining as if they were starlight.
At first, Zhou Yanchuan's gaze lingered on the objects, but then he only looked at her.
Look at her arched eyebrows and upturned lips.
The lighting was soft, making his eyes appear even more tender.
Wen Jiu was so engrossed in sharing her things that she didn't notice the gaze of the person in front of her. After she had shown him the items, she looked at him expectantly.
She thought he would praise her, but to her surprise, his first words were: "Did you buy yourself anything?"
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart felt as if it had been suddenly filled with something. She whispered, "I don't lack anything."
“There’s no rule about what you can’t buy. You can buy whatever you want,” Zhou Yanchuan reached out to take her hand. Seeing her eyes were red, he gently stroked the corner of her eye with his fingertip. “Why are you crying again?”
"Who's crying?"
Wen Jiu retorted.
He chuckled and said, "I can have someone get the baby's things ready later. You can buy him things if you want while you're shopping, but don't forget to buy some for yourself."
"Um."
Zhou Yanchuan glanced at the time, then gently patted her waist: "It's late, go to sleep."
Wen Jiu didn't move, but hugged him and said, "I also went to the hospital today."
Upon hearing that we were going to the hospital, he frowned: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm just going to get checked out."
"What are you checking?"
"Check on the baby," Wen Jiu said, then reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, whispering something in his ear.
Zhou Yanchuan paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something but seemed to have nothing to say. In the end, he smiled, his eyes full of indulgence, as intoxicating as a thousand spring colors.
Wen Jiu was embarrassed by his actions and buried her head in his chest, saying, "Don't laugh."
He put his arm around her: "You really asked?"
"Um."
Zhou Yanchuan's smile deepened.
