After Ya Nuo's pregnancy news spread, both families made changes to their houses and corporations to ensure her safety when she visits. Ya Nuo didn't know whether she should be happy or frustrated about this. Literally every time she takes a step forward; there is at least one person, usually Huan Hei, who holds onto her.
During the first three months, it is very important for her to have sufficient rest. These days, she was either sleeping or eating. When she watches movies, it had to be something happy or comedies. Action and horror genres were out of the channel options.
The worst part for her was her meals. She couldn't eat seafood and drink anything cold for her uterus. She pouted during her meals, but still obediently finished her share of the food. Huan Hei noticed that she hadn't been smiling a lot lately, so he tried to cheer her up.
"Nuo, I made you your favorite Strawberry Passion Fruit cake~ Freshly handmade~" He placed the cake on the table and called for her. She was laying on the couch while hugging a cushion to her tummy. When she heard that the dessert she always loved was homemade by him, she almost rolled off the couch to get to him.
"Cake? Where~~~~ I love that cake hahaha" She took a bite out of the cake and covered a side of her cheeks, "Mmmmm!!! So good!! Hubby, when did you learn to bake? You've been so busy with work and always come home either on time or earlier than usual just for me~" she continued taking bite after bite while talking.
He laughed and wiped off the cream on her lips, "I have lots of surprises that you don't know yet. My heart hurts seeing you unhappy. So this worked well in cheering you up."
She blinked a few times with the fork still in her mouth, "You did this to cheer me up?"
"Mhmmm. I also have something else for you too." He got up from the table and went upstairs. She continued enjoying the cake in front of her.
Five minutes later, he came back with a huge box in his hands, "Here you go, wifey"
"What's this?" she put down the fork and took the box from him. The box was pretty light and she shook it several times before looking back at him.
"Go ahead and put your hand in there. Grab a piece of paper from it and read it out loud." He sat back in his chair and laughed at her confused expressions. She followed what he said and took the first piece of paper she felt inside the box.
"Ahem, Give wifey an hour of body massage while singing any songs that she requests." She looked across the table and met the man's doting smile.
"Oh~ Wifey sure has a great fortunate hand. You chose the massage service one hahaha. This is my Wifey's Guaranteed Win Lottery box, made exclusively for you. Every night, you get to choose one paper inside the box, and I will do whatever the paper says." He winked at her with a suggestive smile.
"Pfffft, come here," she waved her hands for him to walk to her. When he got close enough, she hugged him tightly and smiled while giggling, "Aiyo, my dear hubby, I think I'll be drowned by your sweetness."
He knelt down and cupped her cheeks with his warm palms, "For you, I'll do anything. I can't bear to see you frowning at home. I want to come home to a happy, goofy wife, who is cheerful and laughing with me. You're working hard enough with carrying our child. I know you are not used to staying home everyday, so how about I bring you to work with me?"
"Really?" her eyes shone brightly after hearing that she could go outside of the house.
"Of course. We have renovated the company for a reason. The carpets and rubbers are all over the place now. You and our child will be safe and sound. Besides, you'll stay in my office where I have a private room. If you get tired, you can sleep in that room." He fixed the strands of loosened hair and brushed it behind her ear.
"Hehehe, thanks hubby for doting on me~~ I feel so happy for marrying you!!" She smiled, showing her teeth and leaned in to peck him on the lips. Since her pregnancy was revealed, the couple had to avoid intimate actions, so they could only give each other kisses and some gropes here and there.
"Hei..." She rubbed off the leftover lip balm on his lips.
"Hmm?"
"When can we do it?" she could barely resist the strong urge to strip him and feel his thrusts up her insides.
"Doctor Chen said to wait a little bit after three months. We can't do it now." He sounded quite regretful when he thought about Chen Mu's response. Even though he checked with other doctors and they said it should be alright if they did it gently, Chen Mu provided a long lecture about her body condition and the factors that may threaten their child if they did it during this period.
His long speech made them scared of asking again, so they can only limit themselves to kissing each other and no penetration. He, too, wanted to do it even if he had to be gentle, but for his dear child, he has to hold it in. 'Self control... This is a great time to listen to those ancient monk sutras.'
She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and licked his lips, wetting them apart. Her tongue found its route into his warm mouth and slowly tasted his tongue. His arms circled around her waist and rubbed her back as she moaned lowly into his mouth, "mmnnn."
Ever since she started carrying their child, she was more sensitive than before. He was extra cautious when he carried and massaged her during these moments. Their kisses lasted a few minutes before he decided to take her to their bedroom and continue their peaceful night.
The next morning, Ying Ying showed up at their house with her luggage. Prior to her arrival, Mother Yang already called Ya Nuo informing her that the house would be under renovation and the rest of their family would be going on vacation. Therefore, they wanted Ying Ying to stay with the couple to look after Ya Nuo.
Before Mother Yang left, she also told her that the nanny has been chosen after plentiful nanny exams were given by both families. After gaining the elders' approval from both sides of the family, the nanny was hired and will start working in a week or two. This gives the couple enough time to prepare.
Actually, Yang family had invited Ying Ying to go on vacation with them, but she rejected saying that she wanted to stay with Ya Nuo. She said that someone experienced should stay behind and be with her so she wouldn't feel too bored at home. The family thought that Ying Ying was caring for Ya Nuo, so they didn't question further. They didn't think that she had a different motive in mind.
