Chapter 615 Schemed Against for Twelve Years
Seeing that Li Man had severed ties with her parents, Huang Dehan also considered breaking up with her. However, he had not found a better woman because he had a mother who was paralyzed in bed. Many women from well-off families rejected him as soon as they heard that he had such a mother.
Huang Dehan's mother then said to him, "Forget it. Although Li Man's parents said they were cutting ties with her, she is their only daughter. They won't really abandon her. In the future, her family's property will be yours. Besides, Li Man is a simple-minded girl who is easy to manipulate. She doesn't mind not having a dowry and is willing to take care of me. So stop making trouble and just choose her."
Huang Dehan always listened to his mother, so he gave up the idea of breaking up with Li Man.
Poor Riemann, he was schemed against by this mother and son for twelve years!
If she hadn't discovered Huang Dehan's infidelity, she would have been killed by him.
Thinking of the past, Huang Dehan sighed heavily. He had schemed and plotted, but in the end, he had ended up like this. It was truly retribution!
...
These past few days, Huo Jiansheng has been busy. He bought a whole bunch of parenting books, pregnancy cookbooks, and prenatal education books, and then cooked for Li Man according to the recipes in the books.
He was already thinking about prenatal education when the fetus was only two months old, and even claimed that the earlier the prenatal education started, the better.
Every day, he would hold a book and tell stories to Riemann with great emotion. Most of the time, Riemann would fall asleep while listening.
Li Man did not stop Huo Jiansheng from doing these things; as long as he was happy, she let him do whatever he wanted.
Huo Jiansheng also told Li Man not to go to work anymore, saying that walking around the restaurant every day was too tiring.
Riemann listened to him in everything except this one thing. She refused outright, saying, "No, if I don't go to work and stay cooped up at home every day, I'll go crazy."
Seeing that Li Man refused, Huo Jiansheng compromised, "Then when you're at work, could you please stop greeting the guests? You can just sit there and give instructions."
Li Man glanced at Huo Jiansheng, who looked worried, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't let myself get too tired."
"Also, ask the chef to prepare some dishes with less salt and oil for you, otherwise you'll get water retention," Huo Jiansheng instructed worriedly.
Riemann smiled, pursing her lips, "Okay!"
"By the way, when you go to work, don't wear high heels anymore. I bought you a pair of soft-soled flats, so just wear the ones I bought for you."
A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips, and Riemann obediently replied, "Okay!"
"Oh, and also, you shouldn't wear skirt suits anymore. I bought you some loose-fitting skirts, they'll be more comfortable to wear like this."
Li Man was both amused and exasperated. "My belly isn't showing yet, so I don't need to wear loose dresses."
"But won't such a tight dress constrict your stomach?" Huo Jiansheng asked anxiously.
"No, how could it be constricting my stomach? My belly isn't big yet, and I can still fit into my current clothes."
"But……"
Huo Jiansheng wanted to say something more, but Li Man interrupted him with a smile, "No buts, don't be too nervous. Don't worry, if the clothes are too tight, I'll change them. I'll wear the dress you bought in a month or two, okay?"
"All right."
Huo Jiansheng, still worried, added, "If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself. If it really comes down to it, we can hire a few more people. I read in a book that morning sickness and loss of appetite are common in early pregnancy. If you're not feeling well, don't even think about going to work. You can go back when you feel better."
Li Man said in a soft voice, "Okay, thank you, husband!"
