Chapter 113 Yao Yao, are you waiting for me?
"That's good. I heard this cold was pretty bad. There was a kid on East Street who got so high he became mentally impaired. They said if you weren't better, you should stay home and rest and not come to work."
"It's okay, I'll be careful."
As she was talking, she looked up and saw Fu Huaiyi outside the glass window.
It would have been perfectly normal for him to come over, but for some reason, seeing him standing outside the glass window now gave her a strange feeling of worrying about being discovered.
While Zhou Jing and the others weren't paying attention, she quickly ran outside the store and pulled him aside.
Why are you standing by the window without going inside?
"I had nothing to do, so I just came to check on things."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
Instead of sneaking around, you might as well just come in openly. If people see you, they might think you're trying to rob the bookstore.
"By the way, have you received any calls from Sister Leyi in the last few days?"
She suddenly remembered Fu Leyi's phone call from three days ago.
She said it's not advisable to move around too much and that she should stay at her in-laws' house to rest during her pregnancy. It's been three days, and she doesn't know if she's recovered yet.
"No, haven't I been with you these past three days?"
Lin Yuyao blushed and said, "Did you ask your uncle?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
His keen sense of danger prompted him to blurt out, "Has something happened to her?"
This……
How should she bring it up?
Sister Leyi told her not to say anything, since she had already promised someone something.
She can be a bit stubborn sometimes. Since she's already promised someone, she doesn't intend to say it outright. However, Fu Huaiyi seems to have guessed something.
Lin Yuyao said, "I don't know. I received her call three days ago. She told me some work-related things, and I casually asked her when she was coming back and told her that it had gotten colder in Nancheng. Then she said... it's not convenient for her right now, she'll come back in a few days."
Fu Huaiyi looked down at her.
Lin Yuyao felt a little guilty and looked away.
Fu Huaiyi clenched his fist, already sensing that something was wrong.
"Oh, I see."
It's been a long time since I visited my uncle; it seems he'll have to go see him.
Zhou Jing was calling Lin Yuyao from inside the house, so Lin Yuyao quickly went in.
"Sister Zhou."
"Let me see that notebook you used to take notes in last time. It's the one the boss told me to use over the phone."
"Excuse me, just a moment."
She put it away and quickly went to get it for Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing glanced at it and sighed, "This publishing house is so slow, they're rushing us to deliver like they're on our deathbed."
She's worked here for several years; she was there when Fu Leyi opened her shop.
It can be said that from the very beginning, she was always by Fu Leyi's side, watching the store gradually transform into what it is today.
She knows all the cooperatives very well.
Fu Leyi was very grateful for her contributions to the bookstore, and she was also very grateful to Fu Leyi for providing her with a job opportunity during her most difficult time.
Zhou Jing hadn't seen her in a long time and missed her quite a bit.
"Boss, your belly must be about six months along, right?"
The timeframe is about right.
"It seems to be, more than six months, or seven months," Lin Yuyao said after calculating.
"It's not hot anymore, she should be back by now."
Lin Yuyao thought, Fu Leyi only said not to tell Fu Huaiyi, but didn't say not to tell Zhou Jing, so she should be able to tell her, right?
“She called me a few days ago, and I asked her about coming back. She said she hasn’t been feeling well lately, and the doctor told her to rest and take care of her pregnancy, so she doesn’t want to come back for the time being.”
"Oh? What's wrong? Is she alright?"
"I don't know. She said it's nothing serious and she'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"This leaves her all alone in an unfamiliar place, with poor transportation, inadequate medical care, and inconvenient communication. It's really worrying."
Liu Yihuan then said, "Why is it just one person? That's her husband's house."
Zhou Jing rolled her eyes at her, "Huanhuan, you're still too young. For a woman to give birth, such a major event, you can't trust her in-laws. If something happens to her, they'll definitely choose to save the baby."
Zhou Jing's words were actually meant as a joke. After all, it was this era, and they were city dwellers who hadn't witnessed much darkness.
But her words made Lin Yuyao's heart skip a beat.
It wasn't that she had dark thoughts, but rather that Fu Leyi's situation was truly unique.
She was her parents' only daughter, and they were very wealthy. She also married a man who moved into their home.
If anything were to happen to her, wouldn't her husband's family take advantage of her children to seize her entire family?
In the future, with the development of the internet, Lin Yuyao has witnessed far too many despicable acts of people trying to take advantage of only daughters.
Human nature is unpredictable, so we must be wary.
She must come back once she's rested; she absolutely cannot give birth at her in-laws' house.
After getting off work, Lin Yuyao knocked on the door on the fourth floor, but no one answered.
They probably didn't come back.
She didn't close the door completely tonight, but left it ajar, and kept an eye on the sounds of people going up and down the stairs.
She was already familiar with Fu Huaiyi's footsteps; she could recognize him as soon as he reached the third floor.
Lin Yuyao put down her pen, opened the door, and went out.
Standing on the fifth-floor stairwell, craning my neck to look down, I met Fu Huaiyi's eyes as he looked up.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Fu Huaiyi didn't open his own door, but ran up to the room briskly.
"Yaoyao, were you waiting for me?"
Lin Yuyao nodded. "I have something to tell you."
"Hmm, what did you say?" Fu Huaiyi's heart started racing for no reason. His heart was churning, but he remained calm on the surface and followed her into her house.
Lin Yuyao is now worried about Fu Leyi's safety. Although she can be a bit old-fashioned at times, she doesn't care about anything else when she realizes the danger.
Do you know when Sister Leyi will be back?
Fu Huaiyi: "..." So what she wanted to say to him was about someone else?
"I went to my uncle's house today and asked my aunt about my cousin. She said she'll be coming back in a few days and won't be giving birth there."
Lin Yuyao paused for a moment and asked, "About seven months, right?"
"Yes, it's been more than seven months."
"If it's premature, it can be delivered at seven months or more."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Huh? No, I didn't mean that Sister Leyi will have a premature birth. I meant, what if? The bigger the belly, the more dangerous long-distance travel becomes. In the later stages, they won't even let us take airplanes."
Fu Huaiyi frowned deeply, realizing that this was indeed a problem.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll talk to my uncle later. If it really doesn't work, I'll have my aunt come over to be with me during childbirth."
Lin Yuyao thought to herself, "How can just the two of us, mother and daughter, be enough? They have so many relatives; they can easily get rid of you with a little trickery."
It's not that she's a conspiracy theorist, it's just that her brother-in-law is too subservient to Sister Leyi, acting like he's serving his boss. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was her driver.
Their combination makes one wonder.
"You should try to bring her back as soon as possible. Your uncle only has this one daughter. What if she does something to you..."
At this point, Lin Yuyao paused for a moment, then explained rather apologetically, "I didn't mean to say your brother-in-law is bad, nor did I mean to sow discord between them."
