Jing Yao buried her head in Liang Xun’s arms, her face slightly hot.
“Do you want to call Auntie back now?” She retreated from Liang Xun’s arms bit by bit and asked softly.
Liang Xun was in a good mood. It seemed like pretending to be drunk was quite useful. After saying something under the pretext of being drunk last night, he could tell that Jing Yao was no longer avoiding him this morning. She even took the initiative to kiss him last night. Although that goodnight kiss was most likely to comfort him, it was a good progress.
“No need. Let’s go down for breakfast first.” He told Jing Yao to go down for breakfast and then went to wash up.
Jing Yao had just reached the first floor when she saw Shen Yu sitting at the dining table in the dining room.
Shen Yu saw her at a glance and greeted her with a smile. “Sister-in-law, good morning. Come and have breakfast.”
It was only then that Jing Yao remembered that Shen Yu slept here last night.
She smiled and walked over. The two of them sat at the dining table and waited for Liang Xun.
Liang Xun came downstairs in a good mood. The moment he saw Shen Yu, his slightly raised lips instantly pursed into a line. It was obvious that he was unhappy.
“Why are you still here?” he asked Shen Yu.
Shen Yu smiled ingratiatingly. “At least let me eat breakfast before chasing me away.”
Liang Xun frowned and said mercilessly, “Hurry up and eat. Get lost after you’re done.”
“…” Shen Yu.
After saying that, Liang Xun walked to Jing Yao’s side and sat down. Then, he scooped a bowl of porridge for her. When he handed it to Jing Yao, he instructed carefully, “Blow at it. Be careful not to burn yourself.”
Jing Yao reached out and took it. She looked up and smiled sweetly. “Thank you!”
Liang Xun pursed his lips. For a moment, he did not know if he should be happy or sad. Wifey’s smile was so sweet, but she still sounded distant from him.
Sigh, let’s take it slow.
Shen Yu sat opposite them and sized them up silently.
Liang Xun acted as if no one was around. Just like every time he ate, his attention was on Jing Yao. He coaxed Jing Yao to eat a lot until Jing Yao frowned slightly and whispered, “I really can’t eat anymore.”
Only then did Liang Xun stop persuading her. He had already figured out Jing Yao’s appet.i.te for three meals and knew that she would vomit if she ate too much. “Put on your coat and go to the courtyard for a walk.”
Jing Yao actually didn’t want to move. After eating, she wanted to lie on the sofa more.
However, she did not reject him in the end. She knew that Liang Xun was doing this for her own good, so she did not say anything.
Shen Yu watched her leave and said to his buddy carefully, “Um, Shen Zhao said that she’s coming over in the afternoon.”
Liang Xun had a headache. “You siblings are my nemesis. It’s not easy for me to have time to accompany my wife at home on the weekends, but you have to be an eyesore?”
Shen Yu hurriedly cleared his name. “I didn’t ask her to come. She found out about Sister-in-law from somewhere and insisted on coming over to take a look.”
“…” Liang Xun.
After breakfast, Liang Xun invited Shen Yu out.
There were only the two of them left in the living room. Liang Xun was prepared to cook lunch himself, so he asked the auntie to go back directly. She did not have to come for the entire day.
Jing Yao lay on the sofa and touched her stomach in a daze. Her stomach was still very flat and she could not tell that she was pregnant at all.
Liang Xun sat beside her. Seeing this, he asked worriedly, “Is your stomach uncomfortable?”
“No.” Jing Yao shook her head hurriedly. “I’m trying to feel it.”
Liang Xun didn’t ask what she felt. He smiled, amused by Jing Yao’s serious look.
“It won’t show until three months later. You can’t touch anything now.”
Jing Yao looked up in confusion. “Then why do you have to touch it every morning?”
Liang Xun was dumbfounded. He thought that Jing Yao was asleep every time.
It was rare for Jing Yao to have the upper hand. Seeing Liang Xun’s embarra.s.sed expression, she smiled and said, “Although I’m not completely awake, 1 still feel something.”
Every morning when Liang Xun woke up, he would touch her stomach and then her head. His body temperature was high, and his palms were warm. Jing Yao’s consciousness would only become even more blurry when he touched her like this and she would fall into a deeper sleep.
Hence, she basically woke up after Liang Xun every morning.
Liang Xun’s expression quickly recovered. He said without changing his expression, “1 didn’t know either at that time.”
Jing Yao nodded, but from her expression, it was obvious that she did not believe Liang Xun.
Liang Xun almost broke out in cold sweat. His wifey was sometimes silly and sometimes quite smart.
“Let’s video call while we have time.” Liang Xun changed the topic..
