Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 316 Bottom Line (26)

After Ji Xiao fell asleep, Zhou Yian whispered to the baby in Ji Xiao's belly: "My dear, you must be obedient in your mother's belly. It is very hard for your mother to be pregnant with you. You just need to be good and grow up well. When you come out, your father will take you and your mother to the amusement park to play."

Zhou Yian didn't know how long he talked to Ji Xiao's belly that night. His gentle voice echoed softly in the silent night like a warm lullaby.

However, time passed quickly, and the next morning the sun shone through the window into the room. Zhou Yian got up early as usual and prepared breakfast.

He also carefully arranged the food neatly and left a note to tell Ji Xiao that he was going to work and hoped that she could take good care of herself.

On this day, Ji Xiao was alone at home and didn't have much to do, so she went to the study to read a book to kill time.

The bookshelves in the study are filled with various books, one third of which are various materials on Zhou Yian. These are the professional books he needs to refer to when he works; but more are the novels, biographies and literary works that Ji Xiao himself likes to read.

Her house is a large flat with an area of ​​about 500 square meters, so there is enough space to make a study, to place books for the two of them, a desk, and a leisure area for Ji Xiao's daily reading and entertainment.

This house was purchased by her parents when she went to the city to study in high school. At that time, it cost more than two million yuan, plus the renovation costs, the total was about five million yuan. Although Ji Xiao's family was small, they had never been short of money since their ancestors, so they could afford such a big house.

Now, Ji Xiao is pregnant again, and it is inconvenient for her to clean. Even though she has set up a cleaning formation at home, no one knows about it.

Zhou Yian is usually busy at work and has no time to clean. If no one has cleaned the house for a long time and it is still so clean, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Ji Xiao planned to wait for Zhou Yian to get home from get off work and discuss with him about hiring an aunt to help with housework, cooking, etc.

Only after making plans in her mind could Ji Xiao read with peace of mind.

She picked up the unfinished novel and continued reading it with great interest. As the plot deepened, Ji Xiao gradually became addicted to the novel, and even ate fruit for lunch.

Today Zhou Yian got off work much later than usual, and by the time he got home it was already completely dark.

He gently opened the door and walked into the room, but was surprised to find that the entire living room was dark, and only the light in the study was still bright. So, he walked towards the study curiously.

As soon as he opened the study door, Zhou Yian saw Ji Xiao sitting at the desk, concentrating on reading a book. He asked softly, "Why are you still reading so late? Aren't you tired?"

Ji Xiao looked up after hearing the voice, a smile appeared on her face and she replied: "I'm fine, this novel is really wonderful!"

Zhou Yian frowned and continued to ask with concern: "Did you eat well today?"

Ji Xiao's eyes began to wander around, and she didn't dare to look Zhou Yian in the face. Needless to say, Zhou Yian already understood about 70% of what was going on - she definitely didn't eat well at noon, and probably didn't eat well at dinner either.

He really didn't know whether he should be angry or amused at this moment, but he was more worried about Ji Xiao.

Helplessly, he had to walk over to Ji Xiao and sit down, and said to her earnestly: "Even if you are not pregnant, you still need to eat on time and maintain good eating habits. Not to mention that you are pregnant now, how can you not eat well? If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it, and I will be worried about you at work."

Ji Xiao lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, muttering softly: "I was just too fascinated by the food for a moment, I didn't mean to not eat..."

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just a little worried." Zhou Yian gently held Ji Xiao in his arms, stroking her hair and comforting her softly.

"Why don't we ask an aunt to help? It's already the second half of the year, and I'm pregnant now. You have to get up early every day to prepare meals and also be busy with work. What if you get exhausted after a long time?" Ji Xiao snuggled in Zhou Yian's warm embrace, raised her head, frowned slightly, and said with a worried look on her face.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. However, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, eat on time, and don't make me worry like you did today." Zhou Yian hugged Ji Xiao tightly and advised gently.

Ji Xiao nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, I'll remember it. By the way, why did you come back so late today?"

"The hospital has been handling a lot of family dispute cases recently. Master's family seems to be in trouble. It seems that he had a quarrel with his wife." Zhou Yian explained briefly in a calm tone.

Ji Xiao did not continue to ask, but urged considerately: "Then you should go and wash up first, I'll go to the kitchen to make something to eat." "Let me do it." Zhou Yian said quickly.

"No need, you work so hard, just take a good rest today." Ji Xiao insisted on cooking herself.

"Okay, then I'll go take a shower first." Zhou Yian gently kissed Ji Xiao's forehead, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Ji Xiao neatly stacked the books on the table and put them aside, then picked up the teacups and other items on the table and walked towards the kitchen.

At this moment, it was already late, so she decided to just stir-fry a few simple dishes.

After entering the kitchen, Ji Xiao put on her apron skillfully and began to chop and cook vegetables skillfully. Every movement seemed so natural and smooth. With the sound of the brisk minor tune, her mood became more and more cheerful.

Before long, delicious dishes were served on the table.

After taking a shower, Zhou Yian came to the restaurant. Seeing the table full of delicious food, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Xiaoxiao, the dishes you cook are still delicious." Zhou Yian praised generously.

Ji Xiao smiled and responded confidently: "Of course, I put a lot of effort into it!"

Because they had dinner late, they went to bed late that night. So after Zhou Yian cleaned up the table and the kitchen, they chatted for a while until Ji Xiao started yawning, and then they went back to their room to rest.
