Chapter 486 Wang Yurou is pregnant
"Wife, aren't you worried about her like this?" Xie Hanchuan was alarmed as he watched Lin Xingman bustling around with her large pregnant belly.
They were terrified that something might happen to Lin Xingman on the way, or they would be in deep trouble.
"It's alright, let her do whatever she wants. Only by letting out her anger can she recover."
Women understand women best.
Lin Luoxi knew that Lin Xingman was holding back her anger. The reason she was so busy was that she didn't want to stop and overthink things.
"Wife, I heard that your father and mother are coming back." Xie Hanchuan reminded Lin Luoxi as soon as he saw her engrossed in the account books.
"When did this happen?" She hadn't received any information.
“Yesterday, my father sent a message by hawk, but you were asleep…” Xie Hanchuan met Lin Luoxi’s sharp gaze and felt inexplicably guilty.
Last night, Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi were making a lot of noise, which caused Lin Luoxi to fall asleep and miss checking the messages.
"Alright, let's send someone to clean up Little Father's room and see if anything is missing..."
Lin Luoxi also thought of the madness of last night, glared at Xie Hanchuan, and then led people to clean the house that Xiao Jingteng had had built a few years ago.
Seeing that the bed sheets and blankets in Jam Hsiao's room were old, Lin Luoxi asked someone to change them to new ones and then distribute the old ones to the elderly people living alone in the village. It was a way to do good deeds and accumulate merit!
Two days later, a long carriage procession entered Wutong Village, arousing the curiosity of the usually composed villagers, who craned their necks to see which important figure had arrived.
"Mother, Father, you've arrived..."
The carriage stopped in front of Jam Hsiao's house. Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, having received the news, were already waiting in front of Jam Hsiao's courtyard gate. They were delighted to see them get off the carriage and went to greet them.
"Daughter, be careful, your mother is pregnant."
When Jam Hsiao saw Lin Luoxi running over, he immediately put his hand in front of Wang Yurou's stomach, looked at Wang Yurou with a sweet expression, and then said to Lin Luoxi.
"Huh? This, this..." Lin Luoxi was stunned on the spot when she heard Xiao Jingteng's words.
However, seeing Wang Yurou's sweet and happy face, I felt relieved.
Judging from how affectionate the two of them are, they're even more so than young people. It would be normal for her to be pregnant.
"Congratulations to Mother and Father." As long as Wang Yurou is happy, Lin Luoxi sincerely congratulates the newlyweds.
"Keep your voice down. I'm so old. If people find out, they'll laugh at me."
Wang Yurou smiled gently, but after a while, she seemed to remember something and became shy again.
“Mom, you’re overthinking it. You’re only in your thirties, the prime of your life. How can you call that old?”
"Besides, there are plenty of women in their thirties in the village who still have children, who would dare to laugh at you..." Knowing that pregnant women are sensitive, Lin Luoxi quickly comforted her.
"Yeah, that's right. Second daughter knows how to talk. You're so young and beautiful, who would laugh at you? They'd only envy you..." Xiao Jingteng gently embraced Wang Yurou and walked towards their courtyard.
Villagers from different villages came out to see that Wang Yurou and Xiao Jingteng had returned. They all stood up to greet them, and when they saw Wang Yurou's pregnant belly, they offered their congratulations and best wishes.
They watched them enter the courtyard before starting to discuss it quietly.
Everyone thought Wang Yurou was lucky; even after the divorce, she could find such a good husband. Lin Dayou, on the other hand, had been living a worse life every day since the divorce, a world apart from Wang Yurou.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan followed Wang Yurou and Xiao Jingteng into the Xiao family's courtyard. Lin Luoxi was worried and suggested taking Wang Yurou's pulse.
"Yes, Mother's pregnancy looks very stable, and the baby is very healthy." Lin Luoxi was finally relieved after taking the baby's pulse.
"Yes, when we came back, we had the imperial physician examine you before we dared to set off with your mother."
"By the way, why didn't I see Zhili and the others..." Xiao Jingteng glanced around and, not seeing the five little followers behind Lin Luoxi, asked curiously.
“Those five children have already gone abroad to study.” A hint of pride flashed across Lin Luoxi’s face when she mentioned Xie Zhili and the others.
These five children learn everything very quickly, and they have already read all the books in the Crimson Flame Dynasty.
They were bored and wanted to go to the West to study. As the children grew up, they had to be allowed to fly freely, so Lin Luoxi naturally agreed to let them go overseas to gain experience.
"Oh! It's a good thing that the child is working hard..." Jam Hsiao also hopes that the child in Wang Yurou's belly will be as outstanding as his five nephews.
"Mother, Father, we went overseas recently and caught a lot of seafood and fish. Now that you're back, I've had a seafood feast prepared for you both to enjoy..."
Lin Luoxi thought about how the seafood and fish in her space had become abundant again. Now that Wang Yurou and Xiao Jingteng were back, she decided to take out some of the seafood from her space.
“Great! When we were in Beijing, we heard that the seafood at your Meihua River Wharf was especially delicious, but we never had a chance to try it…”
Xiao Jingteng's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Luoxi's words.
He has good taste; thanks to his wife, he can eat the seafood and fish he's been longing for.
As they talked, they entered the living room in the front yard, where the seafood feast that Lin Luoxi had ordered to be prepared was already ready.
"Wow, it's so big! It must be a lobster!" Jam Hsiao stared wide-eyed at the several steamed, bright red lobsters in the basin.
"Yes, the lobster meat is delicious, fresh, fragrant and tender. You'll love the taste once you try it."
Seeing Xiao Jingteng's curiosity, Lin Luoxi demonstrated by picking it up with her hands, peeling it skillfully, dipping it in sauce, and then eating it elegantly.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it too..." Xiao Jingteng took a look and got it right away. He followed Lin Luoxi's movements, clumsily peeled a lobster, and affectionately placed it on Wang Yurou's plate.
"Thank you, Brother Teng..." Wang Yurou looked at the shrimp in the bowl, thanked Xiao Jingteng, and then picked it up and dipped it in sauce to eat.
Lin Luoxi glanced at Xiao Jingteng and Wang Yurou. Seeing their familiar movements, she realized that this was their usual way of doing things, and it didn't seem deliberate. Her smile deepened.
"Mmm, it's really delicious, even more tender and bouncy than fish..." Wang Yurou nodded after taking a bite of the shrimp and continued.
“Indeed!” Xiao Jingte ate the second shrimp he had peeled, closing his eyes in enjoyment.
No wonder people from the capital keep flocking to the Meihua River Wharf; it turns out, it's this seafood that attracts them.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the welcome dinner.
After not seeing each other for almost four years, Wang Yurou and Lin Luoxi chatted until late at night before Lin Luoxi returned from the Xiao family.
