“Hey! How cheeky of you to say that! How long has it been since we last met?”
Pregnancy looked good on Ye Youyou. Her face was ruddy and glowing, and her skin was smooth and delicate. Ye Qianqian had met quite a few pregnant women before, but none of them could be compared to Ye Youyou. One look at her, and it was obvious that she was living a good life.
As Ye Youyou walked out with the dishes, her footsteps were very light. If it weren’t for her belly that was showing, it wouldn’t have been easy to tell that she was pregnant at all.
“Hey, is your man coming back home for lunch?”
“Yeah, he is,” Ye Youyou replied cheerily. She looked up at the clock hanging in the living room and added, “Soon.” With that, she headed back into the kitchen and brought the rest of the dishes out.
Ye Qianqian went in to wash her hands and helped her sister bring the bowls and utensils out. Upon apportioning the rice, Ye Youyou suddenly counted backward aloud, “Three, two, one.”
Ding! Dong!
The doorbell rang exactly then, and Ye Youyou hurried to the door immediately.
Ye Qianqian was impressed and muttered, “No way! How did she hear him from that distance?”
Or perhaps Ye Youyou is simply used to Li Jinnan coming back at that precise moment every day.
Ye Youyou opened the door and was a lively ball of activity as she flung herself into Li Jinnan’s arms. Li Jinnan caught her steadily with a gentle look in his eyes.
“You’re back!”
“Yeah,” Li Jinnan replied casually and finally noticed that there were guests in the house.
Ye Youyou led Li Jinnan over and remarked, “My sister is here with Shen Zhilie.” She then lowered her volume and whispered conspiratorially, “There’s a high chance he’s going to become my brother-in-law.”
Seeing Ye Youyou act in this manner made the smile on Shen Zhilie’s face widen. She looked truly happy.
Ye Youyou had once stayed with the Shen family for a period of time, and Shen Zhilie had seen her almost every day. But other than her deliberate attempts to integrate with the family, the only other obvious emotion she had expressed was gloom.
What a relief! It was fortunate that she had divorced Shen Luo’an. Otherwise, Ye Youyou never would have experienced happiness in her lifetime.
The smile on Li Jinnan’s face dissipated as Ye Youyou pulled him over. He kept his eyes fixed on Ye Youyou’s feet and reminded her, “Be careful. The floor is slippery.”
“Don’t worry. I walk on it everyday. It’s fine,” Ye Youyou clearly didn’t think much of it. Tugging Li Jinnan behind her, she said to Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian, “We’re going to wash our hands. Take a seat and get comfortable. We’ll eat soon.”
Ye Qianqian had never been the pretentious sort. She took Ye Youyou at her word and sat down immediately before serving Shen Zhilie and herself each a bowl of rice.
“You’re living a really good life spending your pregnant days at home, preparing food for your husband and watching as your husband goes to work and returns home.” Ye Qianqian’s tone carried a hint of obvious envy.
Naturally, Shen Zhilie could identify it. With a smile, he remarked, “You can do the same in the future, too.”
“Of course! I want to live this life in the future, too! But we’ll talk about it when I’m pregnant. If I’m not working, even without a child, my life will be so idle!” Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie with yearning in her eyes. “Will you be able to support me in the future?”
“That goes without saying!” Shen Zhilie tapped Ye Qianqian on her forehead with his finger and said, “And not just you. I can afford to support a dozen kids, too!”
“Yeah, right! A dozen? Who’s going to bear a dozen kids for you?”
“You, of course! Who else?”
Upon hearing his answer, Ye Qianqian lowered her heard and muttered, “I’ll be happy being able to give birth to even one, and you’re talking about a dozen?”
