By the time they were done cleaning up, their food had already gone cold but the housekeeper was smart to heat their food before they came downstairs to eat.
While eating, Fu Hua kept putting food on Jia Li's plate and Jia Li ate without saying a word. She was beyond famished
The kind of exercise she just did is for the strong and not for weaklings like her.
After eating, Jia Li swallowed her drugs and remained unmoving. She was so full that she couldn't help herself up.
When she thought about her cute puppies that were still waiting for her to name them, a beautiful smile appeared on her face. As she wanted to get up Fu Hua glanced at her, "Where are you going?"
"To see my babies." Jia Li replied with a proud smile.
Fu Hua had 3 question marks ❓❓❓ appear above his head.. His brows furrowed as he asked, "Don't tell me you are referring to the puppies?"
"Of course they are my babies." Jia Li replied and was about to walk away when she heard him say in a dangerous tone, "It looks like you've regained your strength so soon."
Jia Li smiled sheepishly before turning to plead with him, "I just want to see them. You know how much I love them and I don't feel settled not checking on them."
Looking at those round eyes staring at him, Fu Hua said, "You love them that you can't bear to part with them, what about me?"
"I love you and I can't bear to part with you as well, you have the first place in my heart." Jia Li said with a smile, as she tried to win him over.
Finally, Fu Hua's face turned less serious as he was quite satisfied with her confessions.
"You just finished eating, you need to rest for a while and you can't move about a lot, your tummy hurts my eyes because I'm afraid you will bump into something if you're not careful." Fu Hua said with worry.
Jia Li smiled sweetly and went to his side. She grabbed his hand and said to him, "Thank you for worrying about me and the baby."
"You don't need to thank me, it's my duty. Come with me, I have something to tell you." Fu Hua said and got to his feet while holding her hand, while leading her to the sitting room.
After they have settled themselves on the 2-sitter couch, Jia Li asked curiously, "What do you want to tell me?"
"I have work to do in New York City and that will take about a week." Fu Hua said as he hugged her in his arms.
"You are leaving without me?" Jia Li asked he she directed a sad gaze to him.
"Yes, you're heavily pregnant and that kind of long-distance travel won't be good for you. You need to stay here and wait for my return." Fu Hua said and kissed her forehead.
Jia Li still looked sad as she asked, "When are you leaving?"
"In less than 2 weeks." Fu Hua said with a smile as he rubbed her back. He knows his little wife was sad she wasn't coming with him but it would be best if she stayed at home.
"What if you take too long to come back and then I give birth to our daughter without you around?" Jia Li asked with a frown.
"There is nothing to be worried about, I will only be gone for a week. There is an internal competition for the place of FJ's Chief Designer, so I have to be present." Fu Hua revealed.
Every 4 years, FJ will host an internal competition for the next Chief Designer and the person that held the title before can join as well.
"It looks like I worried too much." Jia Li said to him.
"Don't miss me too much. It's good that your dog and puppies are here to keep you company and the servants are here to serve you while I'm gone. If you need anything, don't stress yourself, just relax and be served." Fu Hua said to her with a gentle tone.
He would rather leave Jia Li alone in the house to be accompanied by her pets than to send her to the Fu Mansion.
"Fu Hua…" Jia Li said as she gazed at him but her words were cut short.
"What did you call me?" Fu Hua said as he pinched her chubby cheeks.
"Ah… I mean, Husband." Jia Li said as she immediately corrected herself.
"Call me Darling." Fu Hua said while giving her an expectant gaze.
"Darling?" Jia Li asked with a smile.
"Mmm." Fu Hua hummed in reply.
"Darling, we have to name our baby and go shopping for her clothes and items when you come back." Jia Li reminded him.
"Of course, Baby. We will do just that." Fu Hua said as he hugged her again.
After several minutes of staying in each other's arms, Jia Li was more comfortable and raised her head to look at Fu Hua before making a request.
"Darling, can I go to see Ocean and her puppies?"
Fu Hua glanced at her, not knowing what to say to her. He thought she had forgotten about it but it looks like he was wrong.
Seeing the way she was blinking her round eyes like an innocent kitten, he pinched her cheeks and said, "What do you think about all day?"
"The people and the things I love." Jia Li replied immediately as she continued blinking her eyes innocently.
Fu Hua released her cheeks and said, "You can go and see them but don't take too long, you need to rest."
Fu Hua said that because he was worried her body was already tired from their bed activities and she was pushing on because she wanted to spend time with her puppies.
"Thank you!" Jia Li said with a smile as she kissed his cheeks.
Fu Hua let her go to the side house with a servant. He would have accompanied her but he didn't want to get angry seeing how close she was to her dogs and besides, he wouldn't manage to get her attention. He had rather stay indoors and get some work done.
Jia Li was lucky enough to meet Ocean and the puppies awake. After she left, Ocean napped with her babies.
Jia Li named her puppies after she picked them up in her arms. The female was called Avery and the male was named Archie.
