"Dad, this gift is too heavy, I can't take it." Zhan Yan pushed the folder out. The more Ji Bocheng regarded her, the more pressure he gave her.
And there was naturally no reason for Ji Bocheng to take back the things he had gifted his. Now that Zhan Yan had given it away, the atmosphere had actually turned stiff in an instant.
Ji Bocheng did not speak, but everyone present could feel the old man's faint anger. Su Ying scoffed. In her opinion, she naturally felt that Zhan Yan was being unreasonable.
Zhan Yan nervously clenched her hands, at a loss of what to do. It was at this moment that a warm hand took hold of her cold little hand. That warmth gave people a sense of tranquility.
Since father gave it to the child, you can keep it for him." Ji Weiyang put down his tea cup and calmly said, "Actually, I prefer girls. I'm more concerned about them." Raising a son is not as good as raising a daughter; it's a heart that can't be copied forever. Father, do you think so?
Ji Weiyang's words were obviously said for Ji Bocheng to hear, but the old man merely snorted and did not retort.
"It's good for boys and girls, as long as mother and son are safe, it's good luck." Ji Ting smiled as she tried to smooth things over.
There were a lot of women, and when Ji Bocheng heard this, he became annoyed. He quickly went upstairs.
Ji Weiyang accompanied his father upstairs to play chess. When Ji Weixin got tired of it, he went back to his room. In the living room, Ji Ting accompanied Zhan Yan to sit on the sofa and watch TV.
Su Ying sat on the side and ate her melon seeds while Ji Weilin lazily leaned on the seat for coffee.
When she was halfway through watching TV, she suddenly felt a nauseating feeling again. Zhan Yan covered her lips with her hands and quickly ran towards the washroom. She vomited for a while before returning.
The nurse immediately handed him warm water and medicine. Only after Zhan Yan took the medicine did she feel slightly better.
"Zhan Yan, your child is only a month old, right?" Su Ying looked at her pale face and asked.
"Yes, thirty-eight days." Zhan Yan replied weakly.
"It's only been a month and she's already vomiting so much. How delicate." Su Ying was neither hot nor cold, she was somewhat sharp.
Ji Ting rolled her eyes, but Zhan Yan did not say anything, it was clear that she planned to lower herself to her level, while Su Ying just chattered on, "Just a while ago, Third Brother and his family were so noisy, but because your heart is not well, you cannot have children. How can you be pregnant like this, and not have a good contraceptive method? "
Zhan Yan still had her head down, but her hands were clenched tightly.
"Zhan Yan, don't blame your eldest sister-in-law for grumbling, you are too unlucky. In a situation like yours, it would be better to find a surrogate pregnant woman for you. These days, as long as you have money, you can't buy anything. "Why take the risk yourself?"
Su Ying's words became more and more outrageous. Zhan Yan was not willing to argue with her, but Ji Ting could not bear to listen, "Zhan Yan's condition has always been treated by the world's top cardiac physician, and she has already nurtured it very well. It's natural for her to want a child while she's young."
"Oh, I've never heard of any severe myocarditis that can be completely cured. You dare to have children, you simply don't care about your life. "I saw that dad was just messing around. He really gave her this gift early. It's not certain that the stuff in her stomach will come out."
Zhan Yan's character had always been soft and gentle, but a rabbit would bite if it was anxious, furthermore, Su Ying's words were stepping on Zhan Yan's pain.
With a 'pa' sound, she threw the cup of water in her hands onto the table, and coldly stared at Su Ying, "Sister-in-law seems to be hoping that the child in my stomach will not be born."
"I didn't say that." Su Ying gave a slight cold snort.
"Oh? Then, did I hear wrong? " Zhan Yan laughed coldly, "What sister-in-law says is reasonable. I only have a child in my womb for more than a month and I don't know the gender yet. However, Xiaomo called overseas yesterday, and she is carrying a genuine elder grandson of the Ji Family, I feel like I won't be able to enjoy this big gift, so I might as well directly send it to overseas, what do you think, Sister-in-law? "
Zhan Yan would naturally not say that Du Xiaomo had already returned to her country, and did not know if she was pregnant with a man or a woman.
When it came to Du Xiaomo, Su Ying actually jumped up and down, and shouted sternly, "She is a fox spirit that seduces other people's husband, and she was born to be an illegitimate child that cannot be shamed."
Zhan Yan laughed, and then ridiculed, "I don't understand eldest sister-in-law's words. Didn't you say just now that you want Wei Yang to find a substitute pregnant woman, as long as it is a flesh and blood of the Ji Family? I think that Big Brother must be following Eldest Sister-in-Law's orders. You can't give birth to a son, and Big Brother trying to find Xiaomo is also within reason.
Su Ying's face became extremely ugly, but she still did not show mercy, "Whether or not that kind of woman, who isn't certain, will give birth to the flesh and blood of Ji Family is still unknown."
"It's no trouble for you, sister-in-law, as long as the baby is born and the DNA is tested. It can't be fake, it can't be fake either. " Zhan Yan slowly said.
Even Ji Ting and Ji Weilin, who were at the side, were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen Zhan Yan actually have such great eloquence.
Su Ying panted heavily, and only calmed down after a long while, before continuing mockingly, "I heard that Ol 'Three has been very busy at work recently, and would not even care about company when it comes to making love, why is it that it's so busy that it's not home anymore, is it because it's trying to hide? I think that Du Xiaomo is not the only one who needs to check her DNA, the bloodline of Ji Family cannot be mixed together. "
Su Ying's words were obviously questioning Zhan Yan and the child in her womb. It hurt her more than any words she had said just now, and even Ji Ting's and Ji Weilin's faces changed.
However, Zhan Yan did not speak anymore. Her slightly pale lips curled into a line as she quietly looked behind Su Ying.
Behind Su Ying, on the stairs, Ji Weiyang was slowly descending. His handsome face was calm and clear, clearly because he had heard the conversation in the hall.
"I'm flattered that my sister-in-law is so concerned about Weiyang's family affairs." Ji Weiyang's tone of voice was lazy, but it was an arrogance that couldn't be ignored. He casually sat down beside Zhan Yan and naturally wrapped his arm around Zhan Yan's slender waist. Her cold gaze still fell on Su Ying, and her voice carried a trace of coldness and charm.
"Sister-in-law is right, I have indeed been busy recently, but of course, I purposefully avoided Zhan Yan."
His words caused everyone to be stunned. They never expected him to admit it so generously.
"Weiyang, you are getting more and more outrageous. Zhan Yan's body is not well, and she's also pregnant. Ji Ting scolded him with a dark face.
Zhan Yan hung her head low, her long eyelashes low, and her eyes filled with tears.
In the face of Ji Ting's accusation, Ji Weiyang gave a casual smile. The arm around Zhan Yan's waist suddenly tightened, and said in an ambiguous and flirtatious tone, "Sis, you are also an experienced man. Did brother-in-law not tell you that men will always be unable to control themselves? Zhan Yan is pregnant now, but she can't be careless in the slightest, how would I dare to get too close to her. "
Su Ying listened and snorted, and got up to walk up the stairs.
Ji Ting smiled warmly, but did not say anything else. Ji Weilin was still seated at the same table sipping her coffee.
Normally, Ji Weiyang's ambiguous words would have long caused Zhan Yan's face to redden, but at that moment, her elegant face was calm and pale, with a few people who could do nothing about it. She was very clear that his words were just for Su Ying to hear. He was only helping her get out of the predicament, not to protect her, but to protect his Third Young Master Ji's reputation.
I don't know how long he's going to be stubborn, as if the child in her belly is an unwelcome existence at all.
"It's getting late. Let's head back first. Yan Yan Yan should rest as well." Ji Weiyang held Zhan Yan and stood up, looking like a loving couple.
When he walked out of the Ji Family villa, the arm around her waist had been coldly pulled away.
Zhan Yan had been silent the entire time, but a sense of loss flashed past her clear eyes.
As Ji Weiyang drove back to his apartment, it was extremely quiet all the way, so quiet that he could clearly hear each other's breathing. His breathing was steady and steady, and his eyes were focused on the road ahead.
Zhan Yan sat in the front passenger seat with her head lowered, her pale white face devoid of any expression. As the car passed through the tunnel, the lighting suddenly became dimmer. The yellow lights on both sides of the tunnel would occasionally shine into the car, making the atmosphere seem more ghostly.
As the car drove out of the tunnel, the quiet Zhan Yan suddenly raised her head, her hands clutching her lips, and anxiously told Ji Weiyang to stop the car.
Zhan Yan's pale face turned pale white, she did not dare delay, and turned the steering wheel, and stopped her car by the side of the road.
Zhan Yan quickly pushed the door open and got off the car, then squatted by the side of the road and retched. She did not eat anything for dinner, but her stomach was still empty and she could not spit anything out. Her delicate body squatted by the roadside, curled up into a ball, and trembled slightly in pain.
Ji Weiyang followed her out of the car, and silently stood by her side. He did not say anything to comfort her, and waited until she stopped vomiting, and then placed his jacket on top of her, and said indifferently, "Let's go." Then he turned around and got into the car.
With some difficulty, Zhan Yan stood up from the ground. Her hand subconsciously touched the suit on her shoulder, and it seemed as if there was still some warmth and smell that belonged solely to him left her deep memories.
Ji Weiyang escorted her back to her apartment and left without even pausing for a second. He didn't even explain anything. Zhan Yan sat on the sofa in the living room alone. Both of his arms were happy.
Du Xiaomo had always been taking a bath in the living room. When she came out, her body was wrapped in a towel, and her protruding stomach was especially obvious. Her hair was still wet and dripping with water.
"Just returned? Why did the Ji Family make things difficult for you by going to this big house? " Du Xiaomo didn't bother to wipe her hair, and went straight to Zhan Yan's side.
Zhan Yan slowly raised his head, and silently shook his head, "Nothing much, I'm just a little tired."
"Are you not feeling well again? "He doesn't look too good either." Du Xiaomo touched Zhan Yan's forehead, the temperature wasn't abnormal at all.
"Maybe he's sleepy." Zhan Yan smiled gently, pretending to be relaxed.
"Then rest early." Du Xiaomo replied with a smile.
Zhan Yan nodded, then childishly reached out to touch Du Xiaomo's protruding stomach, which would soon swell up as well.
Initially, he thought that he would fall asleep, but his eyelids sunk so deeply that his eyelids drooped. In the end, he fell asleep on the bed. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been extremely tired. The word 'insomnia' had long since disappeared from her mind.
When she woke up the next morning, it was already around nine in the morning. She lazily got off the bed and walked out of the bedroom in her slippers.
In the living room, Lu Ruping had already prepared breakfast, and was only waiting for her to wake up to eat.
"You woke up? I was wondering if I should wake you up. " Lu Ruping smiled as she refilled her bowl with chopsticks and scooped a bowl of warm porridge.
When Zhan Yan sat on the long table, she had already finished eating. Even though she was also a pregnant woman, Du Xiaomo felt that there were no restrictions. However, she felt like she was being tortured when she ate.
Lu Ruping placed the peeled egg in front of her. The milky-white egg white looked very alluring, but Zhan Yan had no appetite at all. She had never liked eating boiled eggs.
"Mom, can you not eat?"
"Of course not." Lu Ruping rejected it immediately, "Milk and eggs are something that must be eaten. Don't always look so distressed, it can't be worse than medicine, right?"
Zhan Yan frowned as she looked at the egg in her bowl, as if she was facing a great enemy. At least the pills didn't taste weird. It would be weird if the eggs didn't vomit after eating them.
"Did Viyan not come back last night?" Lu Ruping sat down on the chair and suddenly asked.
Zhan Yan's action of holding onto the spoon faltered, she lowered her head and muttered softly, "She's back." Only gone again.
"It's getting worse. If he continues to be like this, you and I will move back together. "It also saves me the trouble of running on both sides." Lu Ruping started chattering again.
Zhan Yan lowered her head, and drank the porridge in small mouthfuls, listening intently but she did not say anything back.
The meal lasted for almost an hour. After the meal, he ate some nutrition and antiemetic pills.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining outside the window. Du Xiaomo said that she wanted to go shopping. Since she had nothing to do at home, she accompanied her. Lu Ruping was naturally worried that the two pregnant women would go shopping, so she naturally wanted to accompany them.
At first, the three of them only went to the children's area. Although the baby had only been in her stomach for a month, Lu Ruping had already booked a baby's carriage, and even bought some children's clothes and toys. Zhan Yan felt that the baby in his stomach was a girl, so she bought some girls' clothes and dolls.
"Don't buy boys?" Du Xiaomo asked.
"No need, Little Yan must have returned to my stomach." Zhan Yan smiled so much that his eyes curved into crescents and the light in his eyes became extremely clear and warm. The baby in her stomach grew day by day and gradually healed the pain of losing her little face. This time, she definitely wouldn't miscarry again. She wanted this child to be safely born and become the happiest child in the world.
Du Xiaomo also laughed along, but then threw out a sentence, "Zhan Yan, why do I have a feeling that the one in your stomach will be a boy?"
"You're mistaken." Zhan Yan playfully stuck out her tongue.
After leaving the children's area, she bought some clothes specifically for pregnant women. After a few months, Zhan Yan's stomach would grow big, and she wouldn't be able to wear clothes now. Zhan Yan also bought a few pairs of flat soled shoes from the shoe cabinet. After getting pregnant, high heels were no longer allowed to be worn.
"Aren't you going to buy a few dresses for the season? In two months you'll be like me, with a big belly you can't even wear. " Du Xiaomo's gaze landed on an extremely low ranked long skirt in the window.
"It's indeed not bad, this piece of Zhan Yan clothing must be very beautiful." Lu Ruping also nodded in agreement.
Classic purple, chest inlaid with countless broken diamonds, emitted a dazzling luster under the light. Of course, the price was also astonishingly high.
Zhan Yan was not very interested in fashion, but Lu Ruping wanted to buy whatever she wanted, and before she could reject, she had the shop assistant wrap up Zhan Yan's number and swipe the card to pay for it.
"I don't even have a chance to wear this kind of evening dress. Why would I need to spend so much money on it?" Zhan Yan felt slightly helpless towards Lu Ruping.
"Your dad can't spend his pension either. We helped him consume it and even increased his GDP by boosting domestic demand." Lu Ruping laughed and teased.
"Auntie, you even know GDP?" Du Xiaomo laughed along.
"Before Zhan Yan's father went into politics, he started her own business at the bank. Lu Ruping took the bag from the shop assistant and the three of them left the shopping mall while talking and laughing.
Walking out of the shopping mall, it was already 12 PM, just in time for lunch. Lu Ruping picked a Hong Kong style teahouse with all sorts of dishes, and the most important thing was that the food was very clean.
Du Xiaomo casually flipped through the latest issue of the Fashion Week. The entire page was about the marriage engagement between the Ji and Li Families, and the wedding day was next week.
Who says that you won't have the chance to wear your evening gown, it will come in handy soon. Li Xiaoqian and Ji Weilin's wedding, heh, it will be another good show. Du Xiaomo scoffed in disdain. Zhan Yan kept having the feeling that she seemed to know something.
