Huo Yanqing furrowed his brows. Why was she still thinking about this? "Touch me."
"No, I remember now. I want to call sister-in-law …"
"Let's eat first. Everyone is waiting for you." Huo Yanqing interrupted Shuxin. He didn't want Shuxin to have too much contact with Jian Xi. He was afraid that Jian Xi's tone or wording would make Shuxin sad. She was very sensitive now. He didn't know if all pregnant women were like this.
After eating, Huo Yanqing took the initiative to call Jian Xi to ask about her. Only then did Shuxin let go of this matter.
…
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Shuxin had stayed in Shu Youkang's house for two months. Shu Youkang's health hadn't been very good. His blood pressure would rise from time to time. He would go to the hospital every once in a while.
Shuxin always felt that Shu Youkang had something on his mind, but he said that it wasn't. He was just too tired.
During this period, Yao Huiqin called Shuxin several times. He said that her stomach was big and asked her to go back to the villa. He said that she couldn't keep disturbing Shuxin and her grandmother.
Actually, Shuxin knew that Yao Huiqin missed his grandson. He was just being polite.
Shu Youkang saw that Yao Huiqin went to Shuxin's house more frequently. He could tell that she wanted to bring Shuxin back. However, he knew that Shuxin didn't go back because she was worried about his health. He took the initiative to say, "Xin 'er, you and Yanqing should go back."
Shuxin pouted unhappily. "Dad, are you despising me?"
Shu Youkang touched Shuxin's head lovingly. "Why would I despise you? I can't wait for you to stay by Dad's side forever. However, I can't be too selfish. Your mother-in-law is old. Won't you feel bad if she keeps running back and forth to see you?"
"But your health …"
"I'm fine. I can take good care of myself. Besides, there's still Nanny Zhou and Uncle Qiu at home. They'll take good care of me. You're the daughter-in-law of the Family Huo, so it's not right for you to stay at home all the time. "
Shuxin pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew what Shu Youkang had said, but she was still worried about him.
"Look, your belly is getting bigger and bigger. There's only a month left before your due date. Go back and prepare before you give birth. Be good."
"… Okay," Shuxin agreed in the end. She didn't want Shu Youkang and Yao Huiqin to worry about her.
After dinner, Shu Youkang asked Huo Yanqing to play chess with him in the study.
After setting up the chessboard, the two of them played in silence.
After one round, Shu Youkang smiled and said, "Let's play again. You're not allowed to go easy on me this time."
"… Okay."
Not long after the second round started, Huo Yanqing said as he placed his chess piece, "Dad, Xin 'er said that she wants to go back to live tomorrow."
Shu Youkang nodded. "It's time to go back. It's not good to let the in-laws come and visit Xin 'er all the time. She's old and has to suffer."
"Yes, I plan to go back to Wuyue Prime Manor with Xin 'er."
Shu Youkang's hand that was holding the chess piece paused in the air. "You're not going back to Tingzhu Villa?"
"No."
Shu Youkang thought for a moment and knew what Huo Yanqing was worried about. There was no one else here, so he didn't hide it and said directly, "Are you afraid that Xin 'er and Ruolan … I mean Jian Xi, they don't get along well?"
"Yes."
The two of them continued to play chess. After a long silence, Shu Youkang said, "It's better to go back to the villa. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. You're a family and can't live apart for a long time. I can see that your mother likes Xin 'er and the child in her belly very much. If you live outside, your mother will be the one suffering. She's old and doesn't have any other requests. She just wants her children by her side. Now is the time for her to enjoy the joy of having children and grandchildren. Filial piety is companionship. "
