“Damn! You’re shameless!”


  With his hand still massaging her, Shen Zhilie leaned over and retorted, “If it weren’t for my handsome face, would you have fallen for me in the first place?”


  “Damn. I haven’t had lunch yet. Don’t make me lose my appetite.”


  “What would you like to eat?”


  “Anything will do……” Ye Qianqian closed her eyes. Just as she replied, she heard her cellphone chime.

  She checked her phone. It was Ye Youyou.

  Ever since Ye Youyou had gotten together with Li Jinnan, she’d been staying with him.

  “Older Sister, are you back in Kingstown yet?”


  “I just arrived last night. What’s up?”


  “Well…… I’m going back to our hometown tomorrow. Will you come with me? Anan would like to discuss the wedding matters and guest list with Father. I think it would be a lot easier with you around.”


  Ye Youyou’s belly was growing bigger with each passing day. The wedding had originally been scheduled for November, so the details need to be finalized.

  Come November, Ye Youyou would be at least four months pregnant.

  A four-month pregnant belly would likely be hard to hide.

  “Well……”Ye Qianqian wanted to go. When she recalled the fact that she hadn’t been to work for so many days in succession, she turned her sister down.

  Ye Youyou was disappointed. After hanging up the phone, she got up to take a walk.

  Her morning sickness was getting better, but her legs were starting to ache.

  Ye Youyou fluffed the rice in preparation for dinner. After bringing the dishes out, the doorbell rang.

  She checked the time. It was exactly 12:30 p.m.

  Ye Youyou opened the door. Li Jinnan’s face appeared.

  Ye Youyou broke out in a smile. “You’re back.”


  Li Jinnan took a step in and hugged her gently around her shoulders. He pecked her lightly on her forehead. “Yup. What’s for lunch today?” he asked.

  “Fried pork ribs, steamed fish in soy sauce, um…… and soup.”


  Li Jinnan kept his arm around Ye Youyou as he made his way in. He closed the door behind him and said, “I should probably get Nanny Zhang to come back. This is too tiring for you.”


  “Other than cooking, I have nothing else to do at home all day. I just spent the afternoon going through the wedding layout. It isn’t tiring at all.”


  Li Jinnan washed his hands. He felt somewhat helpless, but his happiness was clearly reflected on his face. “You’ve worked hard, my wife.”


  Ye Youyou smiled sweetly. She scooped a bowl of rice and served it to him.

  Li Jinnan picked up his chopsticks. As he ate, he said, “Mom wants you to stay with them. That way, you’ll have someone to take care of you during your pregnancy.”


  Ye Youyou froze while eating and asked, “Stay with them? In the old manor?”


  “Yeah. Dad has recently retired, and he doesn’t have much to do at home. Mom has lost a lot of her freedom as a result and would like for you to go over to keep her company.”


  “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Isn’t your sister-in-law pregnant too? She should be four-months pregnant now. Is she staying there?”


  “Nope, but Nanny Rong is at the Yuxiu Villa. The two children are mature enough to take care of their mother. As for you, you’re alone at home most of the time. It must get boring.”


  Ye Youyou was feeling a little fatigued lately. She found it especially hard to get up in the mornings. She didn’t bother fixing breakfast anymore.

  Other than going through the wedding plans in the afternoon, she spent most of her days sleeping.

  She’d force herself to wake up at 4 p.m. to buy groceries and prepare dinner. She wanted Li Jinnan to have a piping-hot meal waiting for him every time he came home.

  It was tiring. However, to move over to the old manor……

  At the thought of Qin Shuhua’s attitude and demeanor, Ye Youyou shook her head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. If you’re really worried, just get Nanny Zhang to come back. Alternatively…… I could go to work with you at the office.”
