1154 Glutton
“I just don’t know when your dad will be back and whether he will be able to rush back in time to see you at the moment of your births.”
After coming to the capital, Zhai Sheng was busier than when he was in Ping Cheng.
Besides the day that the pair collected their wedding certificate, Qiao Nan had not heard any further news of when Zhai Sheng would be coming back. She also did not receive many of Zhai Sheng’s phone calls.
When she called Zhai Sheng’s office nowadays, no one answered the calls.
Facing such a situation, Qiao Nan certainly had feelings of panic and worry.
Upon hearing their mother’s gentle voice, the babies who were kicking up a fuss in the womb quieted down very quickly. They were no longer kicking up a fuss, lest their mother become as upset as them.
The hearts of the mother and children were together. When looking at her tummy, Qiao Nan’s eyes were so gentle that tears were almost dripping.
The babies distracted her. Also, Qiao Nan did not wish to tell anyone about the phone call just now. Before half a day was over, she had completely forgotten about this matter.
However, although one would never go looking for trouble, trouble would come knocking on the door most of the time.
She had forgotten about the phone call, but some people would not change their minds so easily. They were so persistent that they thought of a solution to fulfill their wishes.
“This is the capital? It’s certainly different.” Looking at the capital, which was completely different from Ping Cheng, Qiao Zijin’s eyes were filled with vanity and envy.
This was such a great city. She, too, hoped that she could live, grow, settle down here, and become part of the population.
“Now is not the most beautiful time. When night time arrives, the red lights and green wine look even better. Of course, speaking of this, I’ll bring you to Mo Du to widen your horizons if there is an opportunity in the future. It’s even better over there.” In contrast to Qiao Zijin’s zealous reaction, Chen Jun was only mildly excited.
One had to know that he had completed four years of college studies in this city.
Unexpectedly, he came back again today although he had graduated.
People of the same family had similar personalities and temper.
Qiao Zijin had made up her mind to have a home of her own in the capital, and Chen Jun also had the same thought.
There was no place better than the capital in China.
If he and his father could become an official in the central government, it would mean that the ancestors of the Chen family had been blessing them.
In the past, Chen Jun dared not be so ambitious. However, Chen Jun felt that this target was not that far-fetched now.
As long as he could do two things, this was actually a very easy matter.
The capital, here I come!
After cheering for himself, Chen Jun smiled. “Zijin, do you still remember what I taught you in the past?”
“Re-remember.” Qiao Zijin’s expression changed. She bowed her head docilely as she softly replied.
At this moment, Qiao Zijin looked like an introverted, shy, and even a young lady who was a little timid. What arrogance, evil, heartless—all these were gone.
Chen Jun was very satisfied with Qiao Zijin’s change.
Chen Jun reached out his hands and touched Qiao Zijin’s hair. “Very good. You have to always remember this. Don’t be like your mom and become a shrew that no one likes. Girls have to be gentle and refined. It’s not good to be too compet.i.tive. If anyone bullies you, just cry. If you feel that your requests have not been met, or if you are not satisfied, just continue crying. Too much of a woman’s tears are not valuable. Nevertheless, it is fine as long as they are useful. When a woman cries, it looks much better than attacking people with her mouth. If you behave like your mom, who only knows how to make noise, that will be too ugly and unsightly. Understand?”
Qiao Zijin was not smart enough. She did not have Qiao Nan’s brains and achievements. Unfortunately, she was so full of herself and liked to act smart.
At this moment, Chen Jun would rather Qiao Zijin not speak and be a young lady who only knew how to cry.
Well, men. When they saw a young lady who was not bad-looking cry, their hearts would definitely go out to her regardless of the right or wrong of the matter.
As a man, Chen Jun was well aware of this.
Qiao Zijin’s intelligence could not make it. As such, Qiao Zijin could only rely on acting in her life.
Qiao Zijin said ‘okay’ with a voice as soft as that of a mosquito. Thereafter, she did not dare to leave Chen Jun’s side as she walked step-by-step with him. That obedient demeanor was as if she had autism and had just been discharged from the mental hospital.
Of course, if she were to change the purple dress on her to an all-white dress, the resemblance would be more striking.
“Nan Nan, have some fruits.” In the house of the Zhai family, Zhai Hua brought the fruits that had been cut into bite-sized pieces by the auntie to Qiao Nan. “This is the toothpick. Use it to eat. It’s more convenient, in case the fruit juice drips all over. By right, it’s best to eat watermelons during this season. However, watermelons are too cooling. You are pregnant. It’s fine. Let’s not eat them. After you have given birth, I will buy them for you if you want, regardless of whether it’s summertime.”
Zhai Hua loved to eat watermelons during summer. At the thought of Qiao Nan’s situation, she was not willing to let Qiao Nan eat the watermelons.
Qiao Nan could not eat them but she could. Zhai Hua could not help feeling a little guilty about it.
Qiao Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I am pregnant. I have not become a child. If I can’t eat watermelons this summer, so be it. Do you take me for a glutton?” She just had to avoid watermelons for a summer. That was not a big deal.
Zhai Hua was not convinced. “That day, when it was half past ten at night, who was the one who kicked up a fuss, craving for stinky tofu, durians, and stuff? Who cried until the eyes were red when I returned a little later? My mom’s heart ached for so long because of that. She kept blaming me for taking too much time just to buy a few things.”
Zhai Hua was extremely sullen at the mention of this.
Qiao Nan’s tummy was huge. Hence, when the family was giving her nourishment food, they paid careful attention to control Qiao Nan’s appet.i.te. Coupled with appropriate exercise that could aid in giving birth, they hoped that Qiao Nan would feel more relaxed on the day that she was giving birth.
They did not expect that Qiao Nan’s change would be so great after getting pregnant.
Before pregnancy, anyone who had met Qiao Nan would say that Qiao Nan was truly a very good child.
However, after pregnancy, Qiao Nan had become very spoiled. She thought of one thing followed by another endlessly, especially in the area of food.
If Qiao Nan suddenly had a craving for a certain food, they had to get it. If they did not do so, Qiao Nan would change her clothes, put on her shoes, and run out to buy on her own.
If she were to help run the errands but returned home a little later, Qiao Nan would cry. She cried so miserably as if the whole family had abandoned her and her children.
Oh, my goodness. Zhai Hua felt that she was dying of torture.
It was no wonder that people said that a pregnant woman was the queen of the house. d.a.m.n, she was the slave by the side of her majesty!
Zhai Hua took a deep breath. She could not say all these. If she did, there would be tears.
Qiao Nan’s face was full of embarra.s.sment. She could not deny that she had done all these. “Sister Zhai Hua, I wish to say that I cried previously not because I wanted to. It was the babies who wanted to cry. Do you believe me?”
