Gan Lie's face turned increasingly pale.
Yu Rou continued, "Why aren't you going to work yet? Have you forgotten that I'm your boss now? If you're late like this, I'll deduct your salary."
Gan Lie looked at her coldly, said nothing, turned and left.
Yu Rou laughed out loud when she saw him leave angrily.
…
Gan Lie felt much less angry after he left the house. On the way, he received a call from Ye's mother.
Mother Ye: "Gan Lie, where are you? Is Rourou with you?"
Gan Lie: "No, she's at home. I went to work."
Mother Ye: "Is that so? How's Rourou? How are you two doing lately?"
Gan Lie paused and said, "Very good."
Mother Ye: "That's good. Did Rourou eat well? She's not picky about food, is she?"
"No, she has a good appetite recently." Gan Lie's expression changed when he thought about what happened just now.
"It's like this. Pregnant women get hungry easily, so have Aunt Li make her some more soup. Oh, and I asked someone to buy a lot of good walnuts. When you're free, come get some. Rourou will eat them. They'll nourish the baby's brain, and the baby will be born smart."
Gan Lie agreed.
Mother Ye: "Oh, I'll take it to you. You're too busy. Aunt Li is always home during the day, right?"
Gan Lie said, "Aunt Li has taken a day off today..."
Before Gan Lie finished speaking, Ye's mother said, "Really? Then there will be no one to cook for Rourou today."
Gan Lie: "She's going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup with a friend today, so she probably won't be home for dinner."
Mother Ye: "Prenatal checkup?"
Gan Lie: "Well, she has an appointment with someone else."
Mother Ye asked curiously, "Who is it? Why don't they let you accompany them?"
Gan Lie was speechless.
Mother Ye noticed something was wrong, but she didn't ask any further questions. She knew that she couldn't get anything out of Gan Lie, so it would be better for her to go and see for herself.
"I see. I'll go there this afternoon. I'll call Rourou."
Mother Ye hung up the phone, thought about it, and decided not to call Yu Rou. Instead, she went to the supermarket to buy ingredients and went directly to Yu Rou's house.
…
Yu Rou went out after breakfast. After getting in the car, she sent a WeChat message to Shen Min.
Yu Rou: [Doctor Shen, I'm leaving.]
Chen Min might be busy, so it took a long time for him to reply, "Tell me when you get there."
When Gan Lie arrived at the company, he suddenly thought that if Ye's mother came over, she might find that the two of them slept in separate beds.
He was just about to call Yu Rou, but then he thought that since Yu Rou was pregnant now, it made sense for them to sleep separately.
He hesitated for a long time, but still sent a WeChat message to Yu Rou.
Yu Rou was replying to Shen Min's message, "Okay, is Dr. Shen busy today?"
As soon as she finished sending the message and logged out, she saw Gan Lie's words.
Gan Lie: [Mom called me and said she would be home today.]
Yu Rou frowned: [What are you going home for? ]
Gan Lie: [She sent you walnuts. She knew Aunt Li had taken a leave, so she might have gone to make dinner for you. Didn’t she call you?]
Yu Rou: [No.]
Gan Lie hesitated for a long time, then sent another message: [Mom might see me staying in the guest room. If she asks you, just say the doctor told us not to sleep together, so we're living separately.]
When Yu Rou saw the message, she couldn't help but laugh, "I see. I'm going to the hospital."
Gan Lie stared at Yu Rou's reply on the phone.
Somehow, he edited a few words: Who will accompany you to the hospital for examination?
He thought about it and decided to press the delete key to delete the sentence. Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the office door, and he pressed the wrong key and accidentally sent the message.
Gan Lie: [Who will accompany you to the hospital]
After Gan Lie sent the message, he was eager to withdraw it, but his finger paused when it touched the screen.
It’s already been sent, forget it.
…
When Mother Ye arrived, Yu Rou was not there, so Mother Ye opened the door with the spare key.
The room was very clean. After putting down her things, Mother Ye went to the master bedroom first. Seeing Gan Lie's clothes in the cloakroom, she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to the kitchen to check. When passing by the guest room, Mother Ye paused and found that the door of the guest room was not closed tightly.
She stopped and turned into the guest room.
The guest room was very clean, but it was obvious that someone was living there.
Mother Ye's expression changed, she took out her cell phone and called Yu Rou.
Yu Rou repeated Gan Lie's words, and Mother Ye's mood immediately changed.
"Is that so? The doctor is right. The child is still young, so we need to be careful." Mother Ye said with deep conviction.
Yu Rou: "Yeah, we think so too."
Mother Ye: "What time will you be back? I'll make you something delicious."
Yu Rou: "I'll be back after the examination, around three or four in the afternoon. Mom, I'll be there soon, so I won't tell you yet."
"Okay, then who did you go with? Why didn't you…"
Before she could finish her words, Mother Ye realized that the phone had been hung up. She laughed dumbly and sighed, "This child."
However, Yu Rou's words still made Mother Ye feel relieved, thinking that as long as the two children were fine.
Mother Ye took the things she brought to the kitchen.
After processing the ingredients, Mother Ye thought about sitting in the living room for a while and starting to stew the soup when it was almost twelve o'clock.
Yu Rou's bag was placed on the sofa, and the zipper of the bag was not zipped up. Mother Ye picked it up to put it away for her, but accidentally dropped the contents out.
Some cosmetics fell out and landed on the sofa. Mother Ye picked them up and put them back. When she was about to zip up her pants, she saw something.
Mother Ye took it out hesitantly and her face turned pale.
