Ouyang Qian's cheeks were burning hot.
"The doctor said... after three months, as long as you are careful, everything will be fine."
She didn't want Ah Chen to develop health problems from holding it in.
Li Hanchen was overjoyed. He pinned the man down, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.
When did you ask the doctor?
"boom--"
Ouyang Qian's heart began to pound faster involuntarily.
"It was during my prenatal checkup that day that I secretly asked the doctor."
Li Hanchen gazed lovingly into her eyes, stroked her cheek, and said softly, "Wife, if you feel unwell later, just tell me."
"Mmm." She nodded, blushing.
The man's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to hold her head, kissing her soft lips.
Ouyang Qian responded softly, hugging his back with both hands, and gradually succumbed to his charm.
On a moonlit night with few stars, the soft moonlight outside the window gently caresses the tree branches, casting fragmented shadows.
Gradually, the heavy breathing in the room subsided, and the two of them were drenched in sweat, but their bodies and minds were completely satisfied.
Li Hanchen reached out and turned on the light, his slightly cool nose brushing against her face affectionately.
"Honey, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine."
Ouyang Qian's face was flushed, her body was weak, and her forehead was soaked with sweat.
Li Hanchen stood up, casually put on a piece of clothing, and strode confidently to the bathroom to fetch a basin of water to wipe his wife's body.
After the two finished cleaning up, it was already eleven o'clock, and Ouyang Qian's eyelids began to droop.
"Sweetie, go to sleep."
Li Hanchen couldn't help but kiss her eyes, his voice deep and resonant.
Ouyang Qian gave a barely audible response, leaned on his arm, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Ouyang Qian woke up, she was alone in the room. She looked up at the clock on the wall and realized that it was nine o'clock.
She picked up her hand and touched the slightly cool spot beside her. Just thinking about the sweet moments of last night made her lips unconsciously curl into a smile.
Suddenly, the baby in my belly kicked again, as if in protest.
She smiled gently and murmured, "Baby, are you hungry? Mommy will get up and have breakfast now."
She then calmly got out of bed to wash up, and by the time she was ready, it was almost 9:30.
As I walked down the stairs, I found only my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa in the living room, knitting tiger-head shoes.
She greeted softly, "Mom..."
Chen Shufang responded crisply, then subconsciously turned her head and saw Qianqian's radiant face, and couldn't help but grin.
Putting down her needlework, she said, "Awake? What would you like for breakfast? Mom will make it."
As long as Qianqian has a good appetite, everything is negotiable.
Ouyang Qian dared not trouble her mother-in-law and quickly pulled her away.
"Mom, no need to prepare anything special. I'll just eat whatever you have this morning."
Chen Shufang turned and instructed Xu Ma to bring out the breakfast.
"Mom had Xu Ma prepare eggs, millet porridge, and corn this morning. You have to eat it all later."
Ouyang Qian readily accepted the situation, and she no longer worries about being fat or thin.

The cabbages in the vegetable garden are growing well, and Su Jingjing plans to pickle spicy cabbage.
It's sour and spicy, and very appetizing.
With a strawberry in her mouth, Li Yuehuan mumbled, "Second sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
"Mom, I want to go too."
Her round little mouth was making smacking noises, and her round eyes were full of anticipation.
Su Jingjing, carrying a basket, looked at the three people opposite her.
Even though An An didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on her.
"Let's go then."
Since there's not much sun today, I'll just take them downstairs to play.
Then the four of them went down to the vegetable garden in a grand procession.
Yuanyuan squatted down, stuck out her little bottom, and struggled to pull out the vegetables, but because she was weak, even after stripping off all the leaves, she couldn't pull out the roots.
She looked guiltily at the bare vegetable roots, pouted, and called out, "Mommy~"
Su Jingjing and the other two looked over at the same time, and were stunned for a moment.
Li Yuehuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Yuan Yuan blushed, bit her lip, and looked at Li Yuehuan with a accusing look in her eyes.
"Auntie is bad!"
Su Jingjing suppressed a laugh and went to her daughter's side to comfort her.
"Yuanyuan is still small, it's normal that she can't pull it out. Why don't you help Mommy move the vegetables into the basket?"
The little one is quite stubborn now, so you always have to give her something to do.
Yuanyuan nodded emphatically, "Okay."
They got right to work, busily carrying vegetables back and forth in the garden, putting them into baskets.
Su Jingjing and Li Yuehuan exchanged a smile.
After washing the cabbage downstairs, I went upstairs.
Li Yuehuan was eager to try it. She had never eaten kimchi before, but just hearing the name made it sound delicious.
"Second sister-in-law, is there anything I can do?"
Su Jingjing asked her to cut the washed cabbage open and marinate it with salt.
She then added coarse chili powder, a large spoonful of boiling water, two spoonfuls of sugar, half a spoonful of salt, minced ginger and garlic, and two spoonfuls of garlic chili sauce to the bowl, and finally stirred it well.
Li Yuehuan's eyes were dazzled from watching.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: it wouldn't be bad if her second sister-in-law became a chef.
Good heavens, she used to call my second sister-in-law a complete idiot, now I feel so ashamed.
Su Jingjing and Huanhuan washed the cabbage with clean water and then put it in a basket to dry.
"After drying, pour on the sauce and marinate for a day before eating."
Even without a refrigerator, it won't spoil in winter, and we can share some with our neighbors then.
While washing her hands, Li Yuehuan gave a thumbs-up, saying, "Second sister-in-law, you seem to know everything."
