Counting back the time, Zhuang Nainai smiled and said, “We normally start counting from the day our periods don’t come, so from that day until now… it should be around two and a half months old.”
Lin Xi’er moved closer, curious. Carefully extending her hands, she made a motion to touch Zhuang Nainai’s stomach. But before she even managed to do so, Si Zhengting had gotten hold of her arm and moved it aside. Now, he was sitting in between the two of them, and he passed a glass of water to Zhuang Nainai. “Here, have some water.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Lin Xi’er did not know what to say either.
Zhuang Nainai felt that the atmosphere in the ward was growing strange.
They had already broken up, but for some reason, this very moment was giving her the sweet feeling of being in love.
She inwardly warned herself not to be fooled by Si Zhengting. And yet, the jealous and haughty way he was conducting himself made her feel particularly good.
Pregnant women tended to be emotionally sensitive, with their emotions always exaggerated — and now she couldn’t help but smile.
But she still kept her head lowered, refusing to take the glass from him.
Without getting angry, Si Zhengting placed the glass on the table by the side.
All of a sudden, there was knocking on the door, and everyone turned their heads to find Si Jingyu standing in the doorway.
Dressed in a pale blue pair of jeans with a woolly top and canvas shoes, she looked exceptionally youthful.
She caught the attention of everyone as she walked in, and her warm smile made everyone relax.
Si Jingyu greeted everyone in the room, then looked Zhuang Nainai up and down. Planting herself right on the bed, she took Zhuang Nainai’s hand and said in a serious tone, “Nainai, now that you’re pregnant, you should place all your energy on your baby. Don’t ever let things happening around you get to you and affect your emotions. If you’re short-tempered, the baby will be short-tempered too.
“Also, during your time in pregnancy, don’t keep anything to yourself. If you do, it’ll be easy for you to accumulate inner heat, and it’ll be poisonous for the baby. When you reach your eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, I’ll make some green bean soup or get you to eat some duck’s eggs to lower your body heat.”
After saying this, she turned her head toward Si Zhengting and smiled. “Also, if this young brat makes you angry, just let me know. I’ll box him for you! Just make sure you don’t cry, because it’s a big taboo for pregnant women or women who are in their confinement period to cry. Getting worked up will only hurt your body, and it really isn’t worth it to get agitated over things.”
She paused, then continued once more. “I already know about what happened to your mother. Don’t worry, I’ve already sent my people out to help look for her. Auntie will be fine, okay? You, on the other hand, should focus on nursing your child. I know you think I’m simply placating you and that I don’t know what you’re going through, but think about it. If you were Auntie, what would you have yourself do?”
If she were her mother, what would she have herself do?
She would surely tell herself to get her priorities right.
Even if she were to go overseas, it wouldn’t be of any help — except for the fact that she was just changing places to wait for news. So… there wasn’t any point in getting anxious over it.
The most important thing she had to do now was to ensure the safety of her child.
“As long as you keep the baby stable for the first three months, everything will be fine afterward. After the first three months, you’ll be able to move around more freely. I just asked the doctor about it, and he says that you’re not in very bad shape, so don’t give yourself too much pressure.”
Si Jingyu’s easy tone of voice and personal charisma won Zhuang Nainai over, and Zhuang Nainai found herself nodding her head in agreement.
