As her stomach expanded day by day, Li Xi always felt like she wanted to eat something like a starving ghost. The things I used to like to eat are no longer of interest. They don't even taste good in my mouth. The servants did not want to touch the soup, they would vomit whenever they smelled it. It was a pity that they were always forced to make up for it. She felt that if the child was not born, she would become a fat baby. That won't do, when the time comes that affects her image, she will be even more despised by Lingyuxiao. Whenever she thought of this, Li Xi would always keep herself from eating those things.
Another day.
"Young madam, for the sake of the child in your womb, you should drink it." She didn't know what kind of soup the servants cooked each time. She only said that it was very nutritious and that pregnant women had to eat more nutritious foods. But when Li Xi saw the full bowl, she did not know how many ingredients were inside it, nor did she know how many were there. Just looking at them was enough for her, how could she eat them?
I really don't feel like I can eat it. I don't feel comfortable looking at these things and I can't eat them at all. Besides, I know better than anyone that the child is in my belly and that he needs nourishment. Don't do that again. " "Li Xi pushed the bowl out a few times, but was pushed to her side again.
"Young Madam. You don't have to make things difficult for us, you know, when young master tells us what to do, we can't not listen. If he finds out we haven't taken good care of you, we'll be punished. " The servant was also feeling awkward. On one side was Li Xi refusing to eat, and on the other was Lingyuxiao's repeated instructions.
"So that's how it is. I'll tell him I've got something to eat every day, and you won't have to cook it in the future. He hasn't been at the company lately anyway. I really want to eat these things every day and have a headache. You don't want me to be unhappy about it and then affect my baby, do you? " In front of a servant, Li Xi could act willfully as she wished. It was unknown whether it was because she was pregnant or not, but Li Xi felt that her temper seemed to have changed a lot recently.
"This …" The servant still stood on the spot with the bowl of nourishing soup, trying to persuade her further. It was useless, but she did not know how to lie, much less endure Lingyuxiao's interrogation. What should he do with her?
"Either pour it out, or drink it. Anyway, don't put it in front of me anymore. I suddenly felt sleepy and went upstairs to rest. " In order to successfully avoid the servants' persuasion, Li Xi could only go to the second floor.
The servant looked at the bowl of nourishing soup that had stopped for two hours. In the end, she could only pour it back into the jar. She wanted to see whether Li Xi's appetite would improve a little when night fell, since she was hungry.
In the evening, when Lingyuxiao returned home, he asked the servant if Li Xi had obediently entered to recuperate. The servant would not lie and told him everything, Lingyuxiao could only shake his head helplessly and ask the servant to bring Tang Sheng to his room for the night. He then went upstairs to check on Li Xi's condition.
"I heard that someone is becoming more and more willful. Is that true?" When Lingyuxiao entered the room, he saw Li Xi reading a book on the bed. Of course, the reason why Li Xi knew how to read books was also because of Lingyuxiao's request. It prohibited Li Xi from using her computer and cell phone while she was pregnant, and she couldn't watch TV for a long time either. If she was bored, he could ask the servant to accompany him for a walk, read books, and listen to songs.
At first, Li Xi had strongly opposed it, saying that it was like going to jail, it did not have any fun at all. She could not make such a hard rule towards a pregnant woman like her. But when Li Xi thought about how her child being affected by too much radiation while using her own phone, it didn't seem like a good idea. As a result, for the sake of his child, Li Xi still agreed to Lingyuxiao's request. However, she chose to compromise, and during the weekend, she could still use the following mobile phones. That was how the agreement was reached.
"I have been very obedient. Is that not enough? " Li Xi put down the book, her stomach full of grievance. Why is it that having a child is as tiring as losing all freedom?
"Then why did you refuse to drink the soup? I told you, it's all for the good of you and your child. Your body was thin and weak to begin with, and you were pregnant with a child. There was even an accident last time, if you don't keep up with your nutrition, you'll get sick easily. " Lingyuxiao and Li Xi had grown closer during this period of time, of course it was all because of the baby. Both of them were focused on the little life, so there was a limit to everything.
"But you don't need to drink it every day. Do you know that I've almost had a nosebleed from drinking all those soup recently? Haven't you heard? An appropriate amount of nourishment is important, an appropriate amount of nourishment, do you understand? " Recently, Li Xi had become a lot bolder in front of Lingyuxiao. She would sometimes argue with him on purpose, because she knew that he would not bother to bicker with her for the sake of their child.
"Nose bleeding? It's so exaggerated! " Lingyuxiao looked at Li Xi's look of disdain, and suddenly felt that she was very cute.
"It's not exaggerated at all. If you feel like you can drink it every day, try it yourself. " When Li Xi thought about how she obediently drank that strange nourishing soup a few days ago, she immediately started to feel nauseous.
"I'm not pregnant, so I don't need to drink." Just as Lingyuxiao was talking, a servant walked in with soup that still had a medicinal fragrance in it.
"No way. Again?" When Li Xi saw the servant bringing in the soup, his expression immediately turned bad. He actually wanted to crawl under the blanket to refuse the soup.
Under the blanket, Li Xi was full of complaints. Didn't she already tell the servant to pour the soup out, or else she would drink it herself? Why did she still bring it up?! It seemed that although those servants called him "Young Madam", in reality, they only heard the words of their young master. It was useless for her to say anything. She could only blame herself for being of low status and having no authority in her speech, which was why she was always bullied by others.
Seeing Li Xi who was curled up like a little turtle and hiding inside the blanket, even though he used her hands to pull the blanket off herself, she felt that it was funny even though she was a little angry.
"Alright. No! "Just don't drink …" Seeing that Li Xi was even unwilling to go against him after chattering for a long time, Lingyuxiao could only compromise. After all, she was the biggest right now.
"Really?" Li Xi asked happily from inside the blanket, but unfortunately her voice was covered from head to toe by the blanket and was not very loud.
However, when Lingyuxiao heard Li Xi's somewhat agitated words, he could only nod his head and reply with certainty: "Yes!" Then he waved for the servant to bring the soup down and bring in some snacks.
"It's best if it's spicy." When Li Xi heard Lingyuxiao instructing the servant to do some work, Li Xi felt hungry as well. Seriously, what kind of stomach was this? No, that's not right. What kind of baby was she carrying? Why was she so gluttonous? Even eating five rounds a day wouldn't be enough.
"It's not good to eat too much spicy food." Unfortunately, before Li Xi said that she wanted to eat spicy food, the servant had already left, and only Lingyuxiao heard her request.
"Can you come out now?" Lingyuxiao pulled on his blanket again, indicating for Li Xi to stick his head out.
After making sure that Lingyuxiao no longer wanted to drink the nourishing soup, Li Xi slowly peeked her head out of the blanket. Seeing that Lingyuxiao was looking at him with an expression that was difficult to put into words, Li Xi could only smile embarrassedly.
"You can't be so willful next time. I let you drink that for your own good. Since you said you wanted an appropriate amount, then drink it once a day. That should be okay, right? In the soup, I also make them work hard to change, so you don't have to always drink one, so you won't feel bad about it. " Lingyuxiao thought about it a lot, or at least, he thought about it carefully.
"Eh ~ ~ ~" Li Xi wanted to reject Lingyuxiao's suggestion, but thinking that it was the result of him taking a step back, if he continued to oppose it, he feared that he would return to his original place, and immediately agreed: "I agree."
That bowl, Lingyuxiao accompanied Li Xi to read until it was very late, and when Li Xi finally fell asleep, Lingyuxiao then left his room and went to the study room to write his plans.
In this period of time, he barely slept, Lan Yetian was indeed a difficult character to deal with. It had already been nearly a month, and it was still constantly suppressing the shopping mall, not allowing the big families that made mistakes to have the opportunity to make up for the crisis. Even more so, he couldn't allow him to take advantage of the opportunity. He returned to his room at three in the morning.
He had only slept for five hours before he got up and rushed to the office. The reason why Lingyuxiao was able to reach his current status was directly related to his own sacrifice. He was not the type of person who would only speak and not make a move. With him personally checking for himself, there would naturally not be any big problems.
However, the storm that had hit the shopping mall had implicated a lot of people. The Gu family was probably the one with the most serious injuries. Previously, Gu Zhengkun had always placed Gu Wei by his side, hoping to use Gu Wei's hands to deal with him. Right now, Gu Wei had already been sent out of the country by Lan Yetian, so he was missing a capable left and right hand. Thus, when Lan Yetian aimed the spearhead at the market this time, he was undoubtedly the one who took the lead with the most severe injuries.
Usually, Gu Zhengkun relied on his strength and influence, he also had sufficient funds, so he naturally had nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, he had more or less offended some people in the mall, causing his company to be in a crisis. Many people were unwilling to ally with him. Of course, he didn't really want to be in the same group as them. After looking at the current situation, Gu Zhengkun felt that the best partner in the alliance would be him. In this business war, there would be no problems with Lingyuxiao's company after that. If he could form an alliance with Lingyuxiao, Lan Yetian wouldn't be able to play any more tricks.
Thinking about it, Gu Zhengkun began to evaluate the current situation of Lingyuxiao's company, and then sent people to collect a series of marketing plans regarding Ling Fang's recent arrival. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and be victorious in every battle. Since he had to choose a partner, that person's overall strength and current situation, including the ability of the company's personnel to control and handle the crisis, were naturally very important. And according to the information obtained from the investigation, the group of people that Lingyuxiao Corporation was receiving were all elites among elites, it was an absolute gathering place for talents. Then, he had to cooperate with Lingyuxiao.
