Before she knew it, the New Year had arrived, and Chu Yuan's belly was exactly seven months along, round and chubby, without a single stretch mark.
Ning Mochen used to need to drink a few sips of glucose water every night to fall asleep, but now he can only fall asleep by touching Chu Yuan's belly.
Grandma Li lived with them, and her happiest moment each day was cooking for Chu Yuan.
Most of the time, Grandma Li and Ning Mochen would cook together, and Chu Yuan could just lie down and eat.
Grandma Li's heart has recovered to the level of a normal person, and she can live for another ten or twenty years without any problem.
Meanwhile, Chu Yuan's starring role in "Deep in the Palace" has been exclusively broadcast for more than two months, and discerning netizens have been completely captivated by her and Xu Yan's acting skills, with the entire internet filled with fans shipping the two actresses as a couple.
Of course, some people are still obsessed with other pairings, but overall, Chu Yuan and Xu Yan became famous overnight, and Gu Qingyan also experienced a resurgence in popularity in mainland China.
The Gu family had always disapproved of Gu Qingyan entering the entertainment industry. Before, he was far away in South Korea and the authorities couldn't control him. But after he became famous, his family forced him to leave the industry.
Chu Yuan felt it was a pity from a film and television perspective, but it was their business and she couldn't interfere.
Gu Qingyan, on the other hand, has been much more obedient lately, and has restrained all her little tricks.
To prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner, Chu Yuan and Ning Mochen went grocery shopping together. Unfortunately, they ran into Gu Qingyan, who was also shopping with her grandmother. Everyone was wearing masks and their eyes met. They recognized each other at a glance, which was quite awkward.
However, Gu Qingyan quickly came to terms with it, and instead of greeting him, she patted Ning Mochen on the shoulder.
"President Ning, getting married and having children so early, giving up such a wonderful life, there's no going back when you regret it."
Ning Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly and wrapped his arm around Chu Yuan's waist as if asserting his ownership. "I think Young Master Gu not only needs a regret pill, but he also needs to take more energy-boosting and intelligence-enhancing drugs. Have you bought any at home? If not, I'll send them to you by drone."
Everyone knows that Ning Mochen led Whale Technology to develop a technology-medical intelligent industry chain for drone search and rescue and medicine delivery.
Their company's drones are fully autonomous, requiring no human intervention, and boast extremely high precision and safety. They have been included in the national list of cutting-edge technology patents.
How powerful is this patent?
Basically, it means that Ning Mochen doesn't have to do anything for the next few decades, yet he can still live in a mansion, drive luxury cars, travel the world, and buy several truckloads of gold!
Chu Yuan was completely exasperated, experiencing for the first time the frustration of not being able to fathom someone's abilities.
Later she simply gave up. After all, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, so there's no need for her to make things so difficult for herself, right?
The three young people were making sarcastic remarks, while the two elderly people got along well, chatting about everyday things while selecting the vegetables they needed.
"You're doing well, I'm watching you. Your great-grandson is about to be born, isn't he?" Grandma Gu said enviously, looking at Chu Yuan's bulging belly.
Grandma Li smiled and said, "Yes, I was practically halfway to my grave, but my granddaughter wouldn't allow it and took me out of the hospital to take care of her."
What's there to take care of? She's too old to do anything!
I understand. She doesn't want to leave me and wants to give me something to do so that I'll keep thinking about it and won't be so eager to leave.
But being with the children is really great. In just a few months, my mood has improved and my health has improved. Now I sincerely hope that she can give birth to a chubby little baby.
I'll take care of their kids so the young people can go out and make their own way in the world!
Grandma Gu became more and more envious as she listened, "I wish my Xiaoyan could settle down and get married and have children someday!"
"Yes, yes, your grandson is handsome, there must be a lot of girls who like him."
The two elderly people chatted enthusiastically, picked out a lot of vegetables and fruits, and agreed to chat again when they had the chance.
Grandma Gu asked curiously, "You just said you'd take care of their child, aren't you going to hire a nanny?"
They were both aware of each other's identities. Grandma Li might look a little shabby, but Ning Mochen was certainly not short of money.
Grandma Li smiled and said, "Please go ahead. Children these days are precious, and I can't manage everything by myself. My role is mainly to lend a hand and keep an eye on the nanny. Aren't there a lot of news reports these days about nannies treating children badly in this way or that?"
"You're right!" Grandma Gu gave her a thumbs up.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and her eyes lit up. "Then how about I bring Xiaoyan to your house often after your grandson is born? Let him get to know the child early, and maybe he'll like him too. That way, I can hold my grandson sooner!"
The three people, seeing that it was almost time, walked forward and just happened to hear this sentence.
Gu Qingyan immediately rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky!
Chu Yuan forced a smile the whole time. Was it really appropriate to let Gu Qingyan watch her and Ning Mochen take care of the child?
Back home, Chu Yuan still felt something was off, so she asked Ning Mochen, "Did you think Gu Qingyan was a little too docile today? His grandmother told him to come to our house more often to learn from our experience, and although he didn't look too good, he didn't lose his temper at all?"
Given this ancestor's arrogant and domineering personality, shouldn't he have confronted them directly?
Ning Mochen smiled but remained silent, continuing to clean the ultrasound equipment he would be using later.
I'm seven months pregnant. I had sex once in March, once in May, and once more in July and September. I should be due to give birth then.
This illustrates that his enjoyment comes from the fact that each time he does it, it's one less time he'll get to do it.
Therefore, Ning Mochen cherished it very much.
On the one hand, she can appreciate her child's growth in detail; on the other hand, the young woman never realizes how alluring her shy and troubled expression is.
Every close-up view is a pleasure for him.
Moreover, the wonderful feeling after using it is completely indescribable...
