Chapter 194

[We're setting off too!]

Shen Yin posted a photo of their RV in the small group chat, along with a travel-themed emoji.

[I'm heading to Tibet.]

Shu Yi shared a photo of herself on the train.

Qi Ji expressed how envious she was, wondering why everyone was going on trips. Had they secretly planned this behind her back?

[Sister Shu Yi, you're actually taking the train?]

Qi Ji was shocked. After all, Sister Shu Yi was a well-known actress now. Walking down the street, 8 out of 10 people would recognize her. Of the other two, one would be an elderly person and the other a child.

[Yes, I am.]

[Aren't you afraid of being recognized? Sister, what about your image as an idol?]

[What's this 'idol image' thing?]

Shen Yin asked.

[Sister Shen Yin, 'idol image' is internet slang. It basically means that beautiful people, especially in your industry, care a lot about their appearance.]

[I see. If Shu Yi dares to take the train now, she must have made herself completely unrecognizable.]

Shen Yin remarked. for new novels

Shu Yi sat on the train. She might have looked ordinary earlier, but now she had an image to maintain. The train to Tibet had private compartments. When boarding, she wore a very plain coat, a large hat, and a face mask. Without looking closely, no one would realize she was a celebrity.

Indeed, who would imagine that a glamorous superstar would choose to travel by train?

Ever since Ye Rong learned about Qi Ji's pregnancy, she had neglected the company, spending all day at home researching various foods for pregnant women.

Qi Ji felt like she had already gained weight.

"What's wrong? You're pouting. Did I upset you? You look unhappy," Xue Jingrui asked, lying on the bed.

"It's not that, Brother Jingrui. Do you think I've gotten fat? I feel like I've become so round."

Xue Jingrui looked at Qi Ji carefully and said, "Where are you round? You're not just yourself anymore, so of course there are changes."

"If I get fat, I won't look good," Qi Ji said.

"How could you not look good? A little plump is cute."

"Brother Jingrui, I feel like my identity has changed again," Qi Ji said, walking over to Xue Jingrui.

"My daughter-in-law is more important."

Ye Rong's company was neither very large nor small. As the only child in her family, she had inherited the family business.

When she married Xue Kai, his status wasn't what it is now. His career took off after their marriage.

Over the years, Ye Rong had been managing the company alone. She was a career-driven woman, both tough and gentle.

So the employees were quite good, and the company had its own unique operating system. After all, as a woman, Ye Rong needed not only a career but also to be there for her family.

There are always more solutions than problems. Because of her family and Xue Jingrui, she couldn't always stay at the company without going home. Plus, being by Xue Kai's side, she had learned by osmosis how to use people, what kind of people to use, and how to balance relationships between different levels.

Their company had systems of responsibility, supervision, election, and voting. Often, documents didn't even need her signature. In recent years, with the advancement of the internet, she frequently worked from home online.

So when she said these things, she meant it. She could keep an eye on the company, but her daughter-in-law and granddaughter were the priority.

"Here, Qi Ji, drink more fish soup."

Ye Rong served Qi Ji several dishes.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Don't be polite, Qi Ji. Don't worry about eating too much and gaining weight. You're not eating for one now, but for two. You need to eat enough for proper nutrition. You won't get too fat. The meals I prepare for you are all pregnancy-friendly. You won't gain too much weight."

Ye Rong was still concerned.

"Okay."

"Jingrui, don't just focus on yourself. Remove the bones for Qi Ji. Eating some fish is good for pregnant women too."

"Alright."

Xue Jingrui picked up a piece of fish, put it on his own plate, and carefully removed the bones.

After dinner, Xue Jingrui took Qi Ji out for a walk.

Qi Ji patted his belly and said, "The baby is so lucky to have so many people loving her."

"You're very lucky too," came the reply.

"Yes, Qi Ji is very happy too. Mom has been so good to me, I don't even know how to thank her," Qi Ji said, taking small steps and stretching his arms.

"Taking care of you is probably what makes her happy right now. If you try to thank her, she might think you're being too formal."

"Alright then. Let's wait and see how things are in three months. If possible, we'll go on a trip. If not, we'll wait until after the baby is born and take her along."

The moon appeared. Qi Ji took out his phone and snapped a photo.
