Chapter 2964 - The Ups And Downs Of Pregnancy

“Yes! I was woken up by the sound of you eating!”

As he gently stroked her back, he said, “Those who don’t know any better would think that there are rats at home!”

“Are… are you saying that I sound like a mouse eating biscuits!?” She looked rather hurt by the remark. “Where did that come from!?”

She felt aggrieved and upset!

Amused, the man replied, “Don’t you know how cute mice are? Speaking of which, you seem to be eating in such a hurry. Are you that hungry?”

“Uh huh… I don’t know why, but I was woken up by hunger. I thought I ate quite a lot at dinner. Why can’t I stop feeling hungry?”

“It’s probably because the baby is hungry.”

“You think so?”

Yun Shishi smiled at the thought of this. “Oh alright! For some reason this pregnancy is just so full of ups and downs!”

After a pause, she held his arm and said coquettishly, “Hubby, I feel like having some ice cream!”

“No.” His face immediately stiffened. “That is not allowed.”

She pleaded again and again, “Sob, sob… can’t I even have just a bite?”

“Can’t you bear with it for a bit?”

“I don’t know why, but I’ve been craving ice cream lately…”

The mere mention of it made her salivate even more.

She gulped pitifully and said, “One bite is fine too! Just to satisfy my cravings?”

“No.” His stance was firm, not at all sympathetic to her grievance. “If you can’t eat it, you can’t eat it!”

“Why are you so cruel?!”

She fumed, “Can’t you be more open-minded?”

“Madam, I’m already very open-minded. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“If it’s for my good, shouldn’t you be all over the streets trying to find me some ice cream?” She threw a little tantrum.

The man was very patient nevertheless and gently patted her head. He coaxed her, “Be good. When you’re done eating, go back to sleep. Stop thinking about it and you won’t be hungry.”

“But I just can’t stop thinking…”

“Behave yourself!”

Mu Yazhe leaned close to her ear and said meaningfully, “I can endure for ten months without touching you. Can’t you endure for ten months without touching cold food?”

Stumped, Yun Shishi’s face flushed red.

She clutched the corner of her pajamas tightly and said awkwardly, “I heard that… even if you’re pregnant, as long as you’re careful after the first three months, it won’t affect your sex life…”

“Absolutely not.”

Mu Yazhe was a conservative man. He stubbornly said, “As long as there’s even a little risk, it can’t work.”

“Aren’t you being too cautious…”

“But what if?”

He suddenly held her shoulders and looked intently at her. “It’s precisely because I care too much that I’m always careful. Even if there’s a little risk, I won’t do it. There’s no ‘what if’, and I won’t allow any ‘what if’!”

It was precisely because he cared too much that he was so careful about everything. He was afraid that something might happen to her and the child.

Perhaps the others would not understand his feelings.

He did not want their child to be hurt at all, and he did not want her to suffer even a tiny bit.

He knew very well that pregnancy was indeed torturous. Furthermore, she could not see or do anything. Even reading was an extravagant notion.

Therefore, he would spare no effort to spend more time with her.

During this period, he had postponed all social events and drinking sessions, quit smoking, quit drinking, and handed most of the company’s matters to Lu Jinyu and Jiang Shen.
