Chapter 382 Do you want to come down by yourself, or do you want me to carry you down?
At the end of September, the wind was chilly. After Cui Si became pregnant, she often had a fever. Two nights ago, she wanted to stay cool and did not cover herself with a blanket. She was sick for two whole days and only felt better today.
Jiang Cinian was worried, so he came to see her. He was relieved to see that she had recovered.
"Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to take care of the child. You must be careful next time and don't catch a cold again. It's not good for the child."
Cui Si touched her belly and nodded with lingering fear: "I will pay attention."
Jiang Qinian nodded, raised his hand to pick up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and asked Cui Si: "When are you going to tell him?"
Cui Si smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after the baby is born."
Jiang Cinian frowned, disagreeing in his heart: "Aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"
"Why should he be angry? I gave birth to the child, and I carried him for ten months. He didn't do anything, and he got a child for nothing. What can he be angry about?"
Jiang Cinian sighed: "Aren't you afraid that he won't recognize you?"
"If you don't recognize me, that's perfect. This child will have my surname Cui, and he will be a member of my Cui family in the future. The Yan family is rich, but my Cui family is not bad either."
"Husband and wife should be honest and trustworthy."
"But how can we be considered a couple? It's just a fleeting romance. If we get along, we'll be together. If we don't, we'll break up. He can do whatever he wants, and I can do whatever I want."
"Two people should be honest and trust each other." Cui Si lowered her eyes. If this person was Jiang Cinian, they would indeed be honest and trust each other. They would understand and support each other.
But Yan Xingchuan is not Jiang Cinian.
"I don't believe him, nor do I dare to believe him, and I don't have any expectations of him. To me, it doesn't make any difference whether he's there or not."
Jiang Chenian nodded: "That's all his fault."
Cui Si suddenly laughed out loud when she heard this.
Jiang Cinian asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
Cui Si said, "I'm reminded of a conversation I read in a storybook. But you're right. It was indeed his fault."
She firmly believed that she was not wrong. She did not believe him and was unwilling to renew her relationship with him. It was all the cause and effect he had created.
Cui Si asked him, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Me?" Jiang Cinian hadn't thought about this question before. When he heard her ask, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay quietly in Yunzhou City. It would be best if I can stay undetected. When the world is at peace, I'll travel around the world."
Cui Si nodded: "Traveling around the world, that's great. Sometimes I also want to go out and see different scenery in the world and live a good life. It's just a pity that there are always ties of one kind or another."
Jiang Ci Nian said, "In this world, having ties is a blessing. Without them, one would be like the wind and duckweed, with no place to return to."
Ties are the people and things that you care about, and you are willing to be tied to them.
Cui Si's ties are the Cui family, Old Lady Xu, Cui Jing, Cui Yi, Cui Changyou, and even the child in her belly.
"Some people yearn for the freedom and ease of tourists, who can wave their sleeves and feel the breeze fill their sleeves. But tourists also envy others' stability, the company of their families, and a stable life."
If he could marry Cui Si, the two of them would settle down in Xianyang City and live a stable life from then on. How could he ever think of running away?
It's just a pity that fate plays tricks on us and we are not destined to be together.
Cui Si nodded and agreed.
Just like her, if it weren't for this child, she would never be willing to get involved with Yan Xingchuan again.
Jiang Cinian finished his tea, then stood up and left. "I'm going back. If you need me, I'm at the Xinglin Clinic during the day and at night at the house in Ning'an Street, not far from here."
Cui Si nodded and agreed: "If you need me, I'll trouble you then."
Yanzhi saw Jiang Cinian off, while Songlu helped Cui Si walk in the yard. Now that the weather was no longer hot, it would be good for her health to walk more so that she would suffer less during childbirth in the future.
Song Lu carefully held her hand with one hand and protected her back with the other, fearing that she would accidentally fall.
The autumn air permeates the world. Several leaves of the trees in the yard have turned yellow. An autumn wind blows, and many leaves fall down and spread on the ground.
Song Lu muttered, "This is the bad thing about autumn. Leaves are everywhere. I just swept them this morning, and now they're all over the ground again. My lady, be careful and don't step on the leaves."
Cui Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Falling leaves may not look good, but next year they will turn into spring mud, nourishing this tree. The four seasons cycle, spring brings life, summer grows, autumn harvests, winter hides. There is always a reason for this."
Song Lu said angrily, "I don't understand reason. I only know that it's blocking the road. Madam, let's go back and I'll send someone to sweep it again."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
During her time in Yunzhou City, Cui Si lived a relatively comfortable life. She spent most of her time at home taking care of her pregnancy and had little interaction with the surrounding residents. Occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would go out for a walk, buy some new jewelry and fabrics, go to a teahouse to listen to gossip, and then go home.
Occasionally, I would make some clothes and daily necessities for the child, so that they could be used when the child was born.
My only regret is that I can’t see my grandmother often.
It's a pity that she doesn't dare to go back now.
She didn't even dare let her grandmother know that she was pregnant. Otherwise... the cane that she used to beat her uncle would probably fall on her.
Whenever she thought of this, she felt very guilty and wished she could be an ostrich and bury herself.
After walking in the yard for an incense stick of time, she returned to the house and had some lunch. She felt a little sleepy, so she changed her clothes and rested. When she woke up in the afternoon, she felt a little more energetic, so she asked someone to prepare a carriage and planned to go to the teahouse.
An afternoon passed by while she listened to storytelling in the teahouse and gossip from people in the lobby. After drinking half a cup of warm water, she got up contentedly, left the teahouse, and got on a carriage to go home.
But as soon as the carriage drove into the alley, she felt a little nervous. She covered her heart with her hands and frowned.
Yanzhi quickly reached out to support her: "What's wrong, ma'am?"
Cui Si shook her head: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy."
"Nervous?" Yanzhi and Songlu looked at each other, wondering if something had happened.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and the door was knocked.
"A'si, come down."
When Cui Si heard this voice, she was stunned and her mind went blank for a moment.
Yanzhi and Songlu's expressions also changed. After looking at each other, they also looked panicked.
Cui Si's hands trembled: "He...he he..."
Why is he here?
Perhaps because there was no movement inside for a long time, the man knocked on the carriage door again, this time using some force, which showed that his patience had run out.
"Do you want to come down by yourself, or do you want me to carry you down?"
