Chapter 290 Just One (3)
Su Yaya tugged on his sleeve and said, “Where are you going?”
Shen Xiuqi turned around and whispered, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Su Yaya let go of him, Shen Xiuqi stroked her hair, turned around and walked out.
At the bathroom, Shen Xiuqi took out a cigarette that he had on him. Actually he hadn’t smoked for a long time, but at this moment, he just wanted to have one and relieve some of his stress. He placed the cigarette in his mouth and took out the lighter to light it, his hands were slightly trembling, he tried a few times before he managed to light it and took a deep breath. As the white smoke came out of his mouth, the fear and nervousness in the bottom of his heart gradually disappeared. When they were on the way here, he was completely terrified. Fortunately, Su Yaya was fine.
Mother Su, who was in the ward, scolded Su Yaya, “You’re pregnant now, how can you be so unmindful. You knew that you couldn’t have hawthorns, but you still ate them anyway. What if something happened to the baby, by then, it’ll be too late to feel regretful.”
Su Yaya truthfully admitted to her mistake, “Mom, I know, I won’t dare to do so anymore. I’ll be good and I won’t be so greedy over food in the future.”
Mother Su lectured Su Yaya even more, as she heard that she was slightly malnourished, she then said that she’ll cook her some chicken soup when they get home.
Su Yaya didn’t dare to refuse, every day from now on, she would just drink any soup that Mother Su made for her.
“I gained two pounds in half a month.” When Su Yaya got off the electronic scale, she couldn’t help but mutter, “My mother is raising me as if she’s raising a pig. I’ll become a big fatty when it’s time for me to give birth.”
Shen Xiuqi calmly said from the side: “Maybe the weight goes to the baby and not you, the baby also needs to grow.”
Su Yaya glared at him, she looked away and refused to talk to him.
Shen Xiuqi sighed, all he could do was coax her again, until she was smiling happily, then the matter was only over.
In order to take good care of Su Yaya, Shen Xiuqi stayed in the farmhouse. Even if there were business matters to handle, he worked remotely. He spent most of the day with Su Yaya and worked overtime at night. Father Su and Mother Su had seen this a few times, and felt that he was having a rather tough time. Although they didn’t mention anything in front of him, they still praised him in front of Su Yaya.
Mother Su said: “Yaya, don’t be so fussy. Shen Xiuqi is doing quite well. If you really want to be with him, then trust him.”
Su Yaya knew of Shen Xiuqi’s hard work, she nodded and said: “Mom, I know what I have to do, so don’t worry.”
One day, something came up in Shen Xiuqi’s company. This time, he couldn’t solve it remotely. He had to head back to the capital, but this time, he had to be gone for quite some time. He was worried about Su Yaya and wanted Su Yaya to accompany him back, but Su Yaya was very reluctant to head back to the capital with him.
“Can you tell me the reason why you don’t want to go back to the capital with me? I’ll not be as worried, with you by my side.” Shen Xiuqi looked at her intently with a solemn face.
Su Yaya’s gaze flickered, she didn’t dare to look at him, “Going back to the capital isn’t the problem, it’s just that I don’t want to see some of the people in that place.”
Shen Xiu understood what she meant in seconds, and said, “You don’t want to see An Yutong?”
Su Yaya nodded, Shen Xiuqi sighed immediately, and said almost pleadingly: “Yaya, I really have no connections with An Yutong anymore. She’s part of my past. We have to look at the longer term, and live on with our lives.”
Su Yaya thought of the situation that happened in her dream, and pursed her lips: “What if I said, I meant if, just to make an a.n.a.logy, if An Yutong and An Yuting aren’t as innocent as they seem to be, their love towards you might s.h.i.+ft to anger, and they’ll hurt me, do you believe me if I say so?”
