Chapter 203 Late Pregnancy
Seeing that the person was in a daze, He Shixu smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Wen Jiu snapped out of her reverie and said calmly, "Nothing. When did you get back?"
"You've been back for a while now," He Shixu glanced at the person beside her, "Working?"
"Um."
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Let's get together again when we have the chance."
He Shixu had a faint smile on his lips as he said goodbye, but his eyes never left Wen Jiu.
Lin Fan, watching from the side, had an indescribable feeling. It seemed that Mr. He's gaze still hadn't let go of her sister Jiu Jiu.
She sighed inwardly. If it weren't for President Zhou's outstanding performance, this person wouldn't be bad at all.
Just as they finished exchanging pleasantries, Wen Jiu saw people related to the case coming out of the company.
She collected her thoughts and walked straight toward the person.
Before the man could ask who she was, she raised her hand, held up her identification, and said directly, "Mr. Wang He, we have some questions for you."
He Shixu watched that aloof figure walk away into the distance before slowly withdrawing his gaze.
After a busy day, Wen Jiu sat in her chair and rubbed her lower back from time to time as she returned to work.
Lin Fan saw this and came over, asking with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's just a little sour."
As Wen Jiu spoke, she sat up straight and began to organize the documents on the table.
Seeing how serious she was, Lin Fan couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him:
"Sister Jiu Jiu, Mr. Zhou is so rich, why aren't you resting at home while you're pregnant?"
Wen Jiu flipped through the documents in her hand and said casually, "He may be rich, but my affairs can't be neglected because of that."
Lin Fan was taken aback.
Just then, the woman looked up and pointed to the file: "Let's contact this person."
"What?" Lin Fan hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and his reaction was a beat slow.
Wen Jiu pointed out the key point: "Her testimony is problematic."
One sentence sent a jolt through Lin Fan: "Is there a problem with the testimony?"
Their case has been at a standstill for some time, with no breakthrough in sight, and they haven't even discovered the problem lies in the witness testimonies.
"Okay, I'll contact them now."
As she walked out, she turned back to praise Wen Jiu: "Sister Jiu Jiu, you're amazing."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Stop joking around, let's talk about it after we've confirmed it."
"good."

On February 16th, Wen Jiu went to Qi You's concert. With several friends around, there was no way anything could go wrong.
The concert venue was packed with people, making it a truly grand event.
Looking at the man on stage who had become even more mature and charming, Wen Jiu's eyes were illuminated by the lights.
When Qi Yougang transferred to their school in high school, she had a pretty good idea of who he was.
She was more sensitive to sounds than others, and the moment Qi You opened his mouth to speak, she immediately recognized him as that very popular young man in the entertainment industry.
Wen Jiu hadn't been looking at him at first, but when she heard his voice, she turned around and glanced at him.
With just one glance, Luo saw it as her interest in this new transfer student.
On the way home from school, I kept telling her: What kind of good person can someone with dyed white hair be? Don't have too much contact with him, understand?
Wen Jiu nodded obediently.
It wasn't long before he discovered that while he forbade her from having any contact with Qi You, he himself was having a lot of fun with him.
Wen Jiu asked him, "Didn't you say he was bad? Why are you playing with him?"
Zhou Yanchuan said, "Because I'm not a good person either."
"..."
“Then I won’t play with you anymore,” she said deliberately.
He put his arm around her neck and threatened, "You dare?"
Suddenly remembering these things, Wen Jiu smiled slightly.
Zhou Yanchuan looked at the person smiling beside him and also gave a slight twitch of his lips.

However, to Wen Jiu's surprise, Chen Si Nian did not attend the concert.
She later heard from Xia Shi that he had run away abroad to hide from people.
"Hiding from people?"
Xia Shi nodded: "He once went to pick me up from the dance troupe and was seen by one of my students."
Wen Jiu's eyes lit up with interest: "And then?"
"Then that girl followed him from that day on, and nothing he said mattered. He couldn't take it anymore and ran away abroad recently."
How old is that girl?
"I think I was only nineteen back then, I'm twenty-one this year."
"So small."
"Yes, that's why my brother ran away in fear."
Wen Jiu chuckled again, thinking casually that scaring people away seemed to be something Shen Si Nian would do.

Wen Jiu worked at her unit for two months, solved an important case, and after being promoted, she went home to rest and prepare for her pregnancy.
Zhou Yanchuan called her Deputy Director Wen.
Whenever this happened, Wen Jiu would glance at him indifferently and say, "Don't try to get involved with me."
When Wen Jiu was in her seventh month of pregnancy, Zhou Yanchuan was extremely busy and could only stay home with her for a short time before being called away by phone.
Aunt Lin, fearing she might overthink things, spoke up for her.
"Although my husband is busy with work, he always thinks about you and the children."
Wen Jiu smiled, deliberately teasing Aunt Lin, and said coldly, "Really? I think he doesn't care about his wife and children at all except for work."
"Madam, what are you saying? My husband even makes time to come back late at night when he has time. How could he not care?"
"He doesn't care that I'm about to give birth and he's not even there to be by my side?"
Aunt Lin looked conflicted, as if she didn't know what to say. After a while, she finally said, "I've just been too busy."
Wen Jiu laughed and stopped teasing her: "I know Aunt Lin, I didn't think much of it."
The woman looked at her uncertainly, and Wen Jiu nodded again: "Really."
He had done enough, and she felt at ease.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't forget to praise her.
"Sir, you are so lucky to have found such an understanding wife as you."
Wen Jiu smiled faintly, and after a while said, "Xiaxia is coming to the house tonight."
"Xiaxia is coming? Shall I go and get ready now?"
"Um."
In the evening, after dinner, the two sat on the sofa watching TV and chatting.
Zhou Yanchuan returned around 10 PM. When he came back, the two of them were still sitting on the sofa. He greeted Xia Shi and then started teasing Wen Jiu: "So you just saw that I was sleepy."
Wen Jiu glanced at him.
Xia Shi laughed from the side.

By eight months old, Wen Jiu was already having difficulty walking and spent most of her time leaning on the sofa, but she didn't give up her reading habit.
When I'm awake each day, I still look through some documents and read some books.
Little Yellow lay down beside her legs, and whenever something happened, it would tug at Aunt Lin's clothes.
After that, Wen Jiu hardly moved around anymore, partly because it was inconvenient, and partly because she simply didn't have the strength.
Fearing she would be bored, Zhou Yanchuan built another pond in the yard, where he kept dozens of beautiful fish of various kinds.
Wen Jiu feeds them there every day.
When Xia came to visit her, she burst out laughing when she saw the fish in the pond.
She had seen plenty of round cats and dogs, but this was the first time she had ever seen a fish that looked like an inflated ball.
Wen Jiu also smiled gently, her eyes softening.
After Zhou Yanchuan finished his work, he almost never left home again, staying by her side every day.
Even so, Wen Jiu still suffered from severe prenatal anxiety in the last month before giving birth.
