Chapter 323 - Special Treatment

After staying in the hospital for one night, Li Qin Yao was finally allowed to leave the hospital. Because Zhang Yu Han was worried about her condition, Li Qin Yao was forced to take a day off to rest. At the thought that it was already Friday and it was going to be the weekend, Li Qin Yao quickly agreed. 

However, as they arrived at the apartment, Li Qin Yao was surprised upon seeing that she was forced to take a rest while Zhang Yu Han entered the kitchen to do everything for her. She was not even allowed to walk over to enter the kitchen!

"Zhang Yu Han, I am only pregnant, not disable," Li Qin Yao looked at her husband speechlessly.

Although it was flattering to be treated like a queen, Li Qin Yao was not someone who was used to sit still for hours.

"You almost get into an accident. I wanted you to sit down and rest after going through too much excitement yesterday," Zhang Yu Han said. He messed with her hair and said. "Just take a rest for today."

Lii Qin Yao took a sip at the water and looked at him again. "Are you saying that this special treatment is only for today?"

A chuckle escaped him. "Of course not. As long as you don't hate it, I will give you this special treatment every day."

Li Qin Yao giggled at his answer. Then, she leaned back on the sofa and continued to look at her husband who went back into the kitchen to cook. As Zhang Yu Han was in the kitchen, his phone on the table suddenly rang. Li Qin Yao glanced at the screen and saw that it was Zhang Yu Ying.

Turning her head to the kitchen, Li Qin Yao then called him, "Zhang Yu Han! It's your sister."

"Help me to pick up the phone."

"Oh," Li Qin Yao slid her finger to the phone and pressed it to her ear. 

"Brother, why are you not at work today," Zhang Yu Ying spoke as soon as the call was connected. "What happened? Are you sick?"

Her lips tilted into a smile when she heard Zhang Yu Ying's questions. Suddenly, Li Qin Yao admired the two sibling's relationships. Although they would often argue with each other over trivial things, it was clear of how much they cared for each other. "Yu Ying, it's me."

"Eh? Sister-in-law? You're with my brother?"

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. "We're at home. Your brother is in the kitchen, making some porridge. Do you want to talk to him?"

Hearing that the two workaholics were staying at home, Zhang Yu Ying found that it was very peculiar. "Sister-in-law, why are you guys at home?"

"I wasn't feeling too well, so your brother decided to stay home and look after me." Li Qin Yao said. The two of them had not discussed whether they wanted to inform their family yet and so, Li Qin Yao did not say a thing about her pregnancy. 

"Ah? Sister-in-law, is it serious?"

"It's not serious. I'm all recovered after a night rest," Li Qin Yao said. Then, she lowered her voice. "But, you know your brother. He gets overly worried."

Zhang Yu Ying laughed at the other line. She had seen the two of them acted around each other and knew how much his brother doted on her sister-in-law. Sometimes, watching the two of them made her feel as if she should quickly find her other half, but then again, her brother was so committed to finding her sister-in-law after the first time he had seen her. At the thought that she probably won't be able to find someone who treated her as nice as that, Zhang Yu Ying thought that perhaps, she should enjoy her single life while it lasts.

"Is that why my brother ran out of the meeting room yesterday?" Zhang Yu Ying spoke her thought aloud.

It was then that Li Qin Yao recalled that her husband was supposed to spend his whole day chairing a meeting in Zhang Jing's place. He had appeared by her side once he heard that she almost met an accident… So it turned out that he had run out of the meeting?

Li Qin Yao spent a few minutes talking to her sister-in-law and ȧssure her that she was fine. When she hung out the phone, Zhang Yu Han walked out of the kitchen to set the table with their lunch.

"Did Yu Ying asked why I did not show up at the office today?"

"Hmm," Li Qin Yao nodded. "Zhang Yu Han, I heard that you ran out of the meeting yesterday. Didn't Grandfather said that it was an important meeting?"

"How can I concentrate on the meeting after I heard that you were in the hospital," Zhang Yu Han said. "You don't have to worry about it. When I received the call from Qi Zheng, the meeting was nearly over." He then pulled out a chair for her and said, "Come on, let's have lunch." 

Zhang Yu Han smiled as he helped her to pick up her cutlery. "Did you tell Yu Ying about your pregnancy?"

"Not yet," Li Qin Yao shook her head. "I thought it would be best to let the elders know first."

At this time, only both Qi Zheng and Qi Ming Wei knew of her pregnancy and they have promised to keep the matter a secret for them.

"Let's not say a word until you have passed the first trimester," Zhang Yu Han said. He had heard that it was a taboo to announce a pregnancy until it has passed the first trimester and was determined to follow that.

Although he was not someone superstitious, he wanted to be safe. It was their first pregnancy and naturally, he wanted to do whatever he can to ensure that everything went well.

Li Qin Yao drank her porridge and turned to her husband. "Hmm… I agree. It was better to announce the news once the pregnancy is more stable."

"Let's just tell everyone during New Year," Zhang Yu Han said. "Mom and dad said that they will be coming home from Country C."

Li Qin Yao continued to nod as she devoured the food in front of her. Although her husband was not the best cook she knew, Li Qin Yao had thought that the food he cooked for her was especially delicious.

Staring at the dishes in front of him, Zhang Yu Han suddenly thought that he no knowledge about a pregnant woman's diet. He watched his wife drank the porridge and asked, "Should we hire someone to look after your diet?"

"Huh?" Li Qin Yao paused to look at him. 

"I did not know much about what you should eat and what you should not," Zhang Yu Han said. "Isn't it better to hire someone to look after your diet? This way, we don't have to worry about cooking."

Li Qin Yao thought over his suggestion for a while and agreed.
