Jiao Ziqing was right. They had to be prepared at any time. But, being pregnant wasn’t something that could be summoned at will.
Yu Lili’s heart harbored a guilty conscience. When she saw the look of hope and antic.i.p.ation in Jiao Ziqing’s eyes, that feeling intensified.
Does Ou Ming’s mother know anything about my previous abortion? If she doesn’t know and finds out about it now, will she get angry?
Yu Lili was a little lost in her thoughts. She suddenly felt someone nudge her.
Wen Fenglin looked at her, and asked, “What are you thinking about that you’re so distracted?”
Yu Lili shook her head and replied, “Have you had dinner yet, Dad? Are you hungry?”
“I had lunch. I’m not hungry now.” Wen Fengin smiled happily. His two dimples appeared on his cheeks as he looked at her and asked, “Would you like to personally prepare a meal for me?”
Yu Lili laughed merrily as she hooked her hand around Wen Fenglin’s arm and asked, “What would you like to eat, Dad? I’ll cook it for you.”
“What about me?” Ou Ming walked up in faux dissatisfaction. “Your husband feels like having sweet and sour spare ribs!”
Wen Fenglin smiled as he beheld the happy couple. His heart was content.
Yu Lili went with Nanny Zhang to do some grocery shopping. They quickly returned to prepare dinner.
It had to be said that Yu Lili’s culinary skills were very good. Not only did she pay attention to taste and presentation, she had taken everyone’s individual taste buds into account. Everyone was happy and satisfied after dinner.
When dinner was over, Yu Lili sat on the couch and dozed off.
“Little Piggy, you’re sleeping immediately after eating?” Ou Ming sat by her side and pulled her toward him so that she was leaning on his shoulder. “Are you that tired? We’ll go back a little earlier. I won’t keep you up tonight.”
When Yu Lili heard that, her eyes almost popped out of her sockets. She quickly looked around.
Only when she saw that there wasn’t anyone around did she heave a sigh of relief. She turned and smacked Ou Ming on his arm as she admonished him, “Do you have a death wish? How could you say that so loudly? What an embarra.s.sment it’d be if someone heard it!”
Ou Ming felt wrongly accused and replied, “We’re husband and wife. Aren’t relations normal? My parents have all been there and done that. No one will tease you about it.”
Yu Lili grew a little upset and turned her head away with a huff. But, her body remained leaning on Ou Mings. Waves of exhaustion came cras.h.i.+ng over. She said, “I’m tired. Let’s go back.”
“OK. Let’s go,” Ou Ming pulled her up.
The couple said their goodbyes to their elders before heading out to drive home. When they arrived home, Yu Lili didn’t even want to take a shower. She headed straight for the bed and fell asleep.
The moment she closed her eyes, she was out cold. She went to bed at 8 p.m. and slept until 9 a.m. When she awoke, she was feeling heavy-headed. She mustered up her strength to get up and realized her throat was hurting.
She headed to the bathroom to gurgle her mouth. The moment the water went into her mouth, a bitter taste emerged. A moment later, she was feeling heavily nauseous. She dry-heaved into the basin.
The door to the bathroom wasn’t closed. Ou Ming had just come back from his morning run when he heard Yu Lili.
He walked in with a frown and gently patted her on her back as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I slept for too long. I feel horrible.” Yu Lili squeezed some toothpaste out as she spoke. “But, I’m fine now. Let me brush my teeth.”
Ou Ming noticed that her complexion was shockingly pale. He reached his hand out to touch her forehead and asked, “Your complexion looks awful. Are you not feeling well?”
“Oh…” Yu Lili was holding a mouthful of water. She mumbled as she brushed her teeth, “I slept for too long. I have a headache. It’s fine. Go out…”
Just as she was speaking, she suddenly experienced another wave of nausea. She dry-heaved into the basin so hard that tears appeared in her eyes.
