Chapter 449 Prenatal Depression
When Shen Buyu was five months pregnant, her belly was already much bigger than that of other pregnant women at the same stage of pregnancy.
However, she was well taken care of at home and was obedient, so she didn't gain much weight. She only gained weight in the fetus and not in her own body, and her complexion was rosy and she was very beautiful.
Si Jingxu gently stroked her pregnant belly, "Did the two little ones bother you today?"
"No, I've only just started feeling fetal movement, so it won't be that frequent yet. It'll probably be a bit more active later on." Shen Buyu gently looked down at her belly. "I feel so amazed that there's a baby inside."
“They’re still two kids,” Si Jingxu said, raising his hand to touch her face. “I’m sorry, Buyu, for making you work so hard. It’s all my fault.”
If there were only one, his wife wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Don't talk nonsense," Shen Buyu said, her ears ringing from hearing him say that. "I'm so glad it's twins. Our family atmosphere is so good. I think having more children would make us very, very happy."
Moreover, given the current situation, both the Si family and the Shen family are determined to raise the child.
Even one child wouldn't be enough to go around.
Thinking of this, she touched her belly, thinking how lucky her little babies were.
Fearing that Mom wouldn't treat both of them equally, she ended up having two at once.
“Your idea is quite novel,” Si Jingxu chuckled. “I haven’t thought that far ahead.”
“Because your attention has always been on me,” Shen Buyu leaned into his arms. “I don’t feel tired because of you and all of you. I feel so happy, Brother Jingxu. I’ve hit the jackpot.”
"I'm the one who made a fortune."
Shen Buyu smiled. Only she herself knew how much she had earned in her entire life.
When she was seven months pregnant, Shen Buyu's belly was too big to go out and do translation work.
Huo Qingci assigned her all office work and also had her evaluate the two newly recruited interns.
She was very grateful, so she always gave her all at work, and even when she was pregnant, she never slacked off.
Both interns were a little afraid of her.
She's usually a gentle and cheerful person, but once she gets into work mode, it's like she has a completely different core.
Serious, composed, and unsmiling, he does not tolerate any mistakes in his work.
This applies not only to them, but also to her own life.
Despite her exceptional professional skills, she still listens to the radio and news every day and insists on memorizing.
That spirit is something they admire but also fear.
Intern 1: "I made a grammatical error in a file just now, and Sister Shen gave me a blank look. I almost knelt down. It was terrifying."
Intern 2: "Then you'd better be careful. I heard that Sister Chen has very high standards. If we can't get past her, we won't pass the assessment."
Intern 1: "She looks like a young girl, but when she starts working, I feel like I'm seeing my head teacher."
Intern 2: "There's nothing I can do about it. I admire her. Even my professor knows her. My teacher said that if I could work half as hard as she does, I could easily get a job in the translation department."
When Shen Buyu was eight months pregnant, her feet began to swell, and she would find it very difficult to stand for long periods of time.
Si Jingxu would massage her before bed, but it only provided temporary relief.
Shen Buyu was alright; she felt that everyone was like that, so it didn't matter.
Carefree and able to eat and drink freely.
One night, I needed to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. I reached out and touched the side, but it was empty, with only residual warmth.
She turned on the light, slowly got up, and found Si Jingxu on the balcony, looking up at the sky.
“Brother Jingxu.”
Si Jingxu froze, raised his hand to wipe his face, and quickly turned around. "What's wrong, wife? Are you going to the bathroom, thirsty, or hungry? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Buyu stared at him. "You cried?"
"No," Si Jingxu stubbornly refused to look at her. "I'll help you inside."
"Tell me the truth, why are you crying? If you don't talk it out properly, I'm packing my things and going back to my parents' house right now."
Si Jingxu's eyes welled up with tears again, and he choked up, "I feel like you're working so hard, but I can't help you. It makes me feel bad."
"You can't say that! You take care of my food and drink every day, drive me to and from get off work, apply lotion and give me massages before bed. How can you say I'm not helping?" Shen Buyu quickly coaxed him.
"Wife, I'm sorry." Si Jingxu buried his head in the crook of her neck, tears already sliding down her collarbone.
Shen Buyu gently patted his back to comfort him, his mind filled with Qin Nianke's words.
She had told her girlfriends about Si Jingxu's situation.
Qin Nianke's original words were: "It's because you're too gentle and easy to talk to. You didn't cause any trouble during your pregnancy, so he couldn't get over it. You just kept making a fuss with him and acting up. You were so annoying, but after you messed with him a couple of times, he felt better."
She used to disagree with this view.
But now, she wants to give it a try.
If Si Jingxu's current condition continues to develop, it is likely that she will develop prenatal depression.
"Si Jingxu," Shen Buyu called to him.
"Honey, I'm here."
“I want a diamond ring,” she said.
Si Jingxu looked up, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, and said, "Buy it."
“I want ten,” Shen Buyu said, stretching out both hands. “I want all ten of my fingers.”
"Buy, buy, buy everything!" Si Jingxu's eyes lit up.
Shen Buyu's brows relaxed a little; Qin Nianke was her goddess.
The next day, Shen Buyu received twenty diamond rings.
"No, you're planning to make me wear two on one finger?"
Si Jingxu chuckled as he showed off, “One on each hand, but wife, we still have toes.”
Shen Buyu: She's really impressed.
However, after spending some money, Si Jingxu's mood improved significantly.
Chen Buyu finally understood what "one monkey, one way to tether" meant.
So, in order to avoid her beloved husband experiencing prenatal depression, Shen Buyu tried her best to make herself seem unreasonable.
They even search for all sorts of bizarre requests on social media.
The more difficult the outcome, the happier Si Jingxu became.
She was happy too, as she had added another safe to her collection.
This game, in which both sides felt they had gained something, lasted for more than a month.
Chen Buyu is approaching her due date.
Her family had already arranged for the best medical team, all of whom were in Beijing, waiting for the baby to be born.
It was only at this point that Shen Buyu began to feel truly anxious.
"What if the babies don't like me? What if I can't bear to leave them when my maternity leave ends? Ugh, what are they supposed to call Brother Longyu?!"
Si Jingxu gently hugged her and comforted her, "No, babies will always love their mother the most. You shared a heart with them, so you never need to question it. You can apply for a longer maternity leave. As for Long Yu, he'll just call him that, we can't let that kid take advantage of our child."
"Si Jingxu".
"I'm here, honey."
"I want to eat braised pork knuckle."
"Let's go to Grandpa's house."
