“Butler Fu, if you keep pampering me like this, I’ll end up like a pig.”
Butler Fu was tickled to hear this.
“Why? Are you worried that if you should turn into a pig, Old Master will despise you?”
Chu He laughed, “if I were to turn into a pig, I would even despise myself.”
“No way, why would Old Master despise you!”
Chu He snorted, “I have no wish to be so fat. Don’t give me so much food in the future!”
However, despite saying that, she ate and slept anyway. Chu He felt that she was almost no different from a pig, given that all she did was eat and sleep repeatedly, not having to worry about anything else.
Gradually, she progressed into her fifth month of pregnancy. Chu He’s belly increased in size. Normally, at five months, the belly wouldn’t be huge. However, Chu He’s belly was round and full. She did not think much of this when she was at home. However, when Gu Jinglian accompanied her to a prenatal checkup, the contrast became obvious against other women who were five months pregnant!
For a moment, Chu He even wondered if her huge belly was caused by too much eating, or if there were other reasons. But as the doctor had said, other pregnant women were carrying only one baby, but she had two. Naturally, her belly would be bigger than the average.
However…
This was really way too big!
As Chu He was over five months pregnant, Madam Qin was worried that mother-to-be’s hair was too long and it was draining too much nutrition from her body. Therefore, she suggested to Gu Jinglian to take Chu He for a haircut.
Gu Jinglian was unwilling, however! He could not understand how hair could drain nutrients.
Madam Qin explained to him that hair growth was a big drain on nutrients, especially the ends of Chu He’s hair, they were starting to split, which meant that her nutrition status was not keeping up. Seeing that Gu Jinglian was unwilling, Madam Qin guided him patiently and persuaded him repeatedly, reassuring him that even if she cut her hair, it would grow out again.
With that said, Gu Jinglian grudgingly relented!
However, Gu Jinglian could not bear for her to lop off too much of her tresses. When the scissors were level with her ears, Gu Jinglian could not take it anymore. He stood by, glaring at the pair of scissors in the hairdresser’s hand. His burning gaze made the hairdresser feel as if the scissors in his hands were melting!
They turned scorching hot!
Hence even though Butler Fu was standing at the side and trying his best to convince the hairdresser to cut it shorter, the latter could only laugh bitterly but would not cut it any further!
It was only then that Butler Fu noticed with amusement Gu Jinglian’s icy gaze and understood what was going on!
He silently chided the Old Master for being childish!
After the haircut, Chu He stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. She used to have short hair, but had stopped cutting it since she got together with Gu Jinglian. Now that she was sporting a short style again, she was not used to it.
“What do you think?” Chu He turned to look at Gu Jinglian and mumbled, “I’m not used to having short hair!”
Gu Jinglian snorted angrily, feeling even more uncomfortable than her!
Noting his sullen expression, Chu He suddenly reached out and patted his head. “Alright, don’t be angry. Once the goods are unloaded, I’ll let my hair grow out again!”
“Once the goods are unloaded?” Gu Jinglian did not understand what this meant.
Chu He and Butler Fu exchanged looks and laughed. In the world of mothers-to-be, the term “unloading goods” means delivering the babies.
During the prenatal checkup, she had chatted with another pregnant woman, who subsequently invited her into a WeChat group.
