PNB Chapter 488 Jiayi, does Dr. Li... like you?
Chapter 488 Jiayi, does Dr. Li... like you?
That evening, after taking a shower, Shen Jiayi walked slowly out of the bathroom, her right hand on her waist, and sat down on the sofa. What did Li Cheyan mean by what he had said to her that evening? Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her eyes flickered, her lips were half-bitten, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. She still didn't understand what Li Cheyan wanted to represent to her...
It's also possible that her mind isn't quite right after she got pregnant, but that shouldn't be the case, Shen Jiayi thought to herself, puzzled. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what those words meant. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and decided not to think about it anymore; thinking too much would only make her more upset.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shen Jiayi turned around when she heard the knock. Butler Long was standing at the door. He bowed and said, "Miss Shen, Aunt Li has prepared some low-sugar desserts for you and the young mistress. Would you like some?"
Shen Jiayi's black gemstone eyes widened slightly. She nodded, and Butler Long bowed. He quickly stepped in, and Shen Jiayi slowly stood up. Butler Long walked over and gently turned Shen Jiayi around. Shen Jiayi placed her left hand on Butler Long's palm, while her right hand supported her lower back.
The low-sugar, low-calorie dessert was a small bowl of lightly sweet purple sweet potato pudding. It wasn't too sweet, and the purple sweet potato was like ice cream. The pudding was slightly caramelized, and the combination was absolutely delicious. Shen Jiayi ate it with her chin raised and her legs gently swaying. She smiled with her eyes slightly closed and said, "Ah, so delicious, so delicious! This is so good!"
Song Yuyan turned to look at Shen Jiayi and saw her eating with a happy expression. She smiled and said, "If it's delicious, eat more. I told Li Ma that you can't eat too much sweet food, so these are all low in sugar and calories, and they won't harm the baby."
Shen Jiayi opened her eyes, glanced at Song Yuyan, and said with a charming smile: I know, I know. You should eat too, Yan Yan. I just ate the mini cream puffs that Li Cheyan brought me last night, so I'm not very hungry now.
Song Yuyan blinked her watery eyes, which were shimmering and sparkling with a clear, transparent light. Her snow-white skin was flushed with a hint of pink, and her long, butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered. Her red lips curved slightly, like Cupid's. She said sweetly, "Then you can eat later. I'm going to start now. My baby in my belly tells me that he's hungry."
Shen Jiayi looked at her gently, her eyes crinkling slightly as she smiled and nodded. Song Yuyan smiled, sat up straight, lowered her head, and picked up the small spoon from the crystal plate with both hands. Shen Jiayi touched the pocket of her maternity dress with her right hand and took out her phone.
The phone screen showed it was past 11 p.m., which was daytime in Germany where Xia Jinghao was. Would he call her while she was sleeping? On the day of the video call, his eyes were slightly red, and Shen Jiayi knew he had cried again, but she didn't ask him.
Even if he was pretending, Shen Jiayi could see through his emotions at a glance. Although she couldn't empathize with him, Shen Jiayi would give him unique pampering. She was naturally not a very empathetic person.
It was almost 1 a.m. when Shen Jiayi finally finished her low-sugar summer dessert. After she finished eating, she got up from the dining chair and went upstairs to sleep. She dawdled until almost 1 a.m. before eating again. She walked out of the restaurant with her right hand on her waist.
The crystal chandelier was still lit in the living room. Shen Jiayi walked towards the stairwell, loosened her right hand from her waist, and held onto the handrail. She took long strides up the stairs. It was hard for her to climb the stairs with her pregnant belly. She slowly walked up the stairs, turned slightly, and headed towards Song Yuyan's bedroom.
Germany and Switzerland -
Chi Che sat in the German stranger's van, which was heading towards Berlin. He looked around; the van was spacious with only three seats. Chi Che's amber eyes looked ahead, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a low voice, "Um, how many days will it take to get to Berlin?"
The German man driving the van paused, his hand on the steering wheel snapping shut. He slammed on the brakes, the van lurching forward before coming to a stop. He frowned, turning to look at Chi Che, his beautiful, icy blue eyes blinking slightly. His calm gaze met Chi Che's as he replied in German: "We should arrive in Berlin by tomorrow night. You'll be sleeping in the van tonight, is that acceptable, sir?"
Chi Che's eyes widened. He was slightly taken aback. Sleeping in the car? The German man looked at Chi Che and nodded. "Yes, we'll arrive in Berlin by tomorrow night. But I have food in the car. If you're hungry, you can have some."
He was speaking Chinese. Chi Che subconsciously glanced at the passenger seat, then turned his eyes slightly to the German man. He nodded helplessly and replied in Chinese: "Okay, that's the only way. Is there anything to eat? Can I take a look?"
The German man's blue eyes widened in surprise for a moment. He quickly reacted, turned around, lowered his head, opened the right-hand side of the van, took out a lot of food, and handed it to Chi Che. Chi Che looked up, using the van's headlights to see that everything was in German, which he couldn't understand at all.
The German man looked at Chi Che with his calm blue eyes and said with a gentle smile: "There's toast, instant noodles, which can be eaten immediately after opening, small cakes, German sausages, baguettes, some cheese, luncheon meat, and beef slices, all of which are edible."
Chi Che watched as his thin lips moved, speaking in Chinese. Although he spoke with difficulty and his pronunciation sounded awkward, Chi Che could still understand him. He nodded slightly in response, "Okay, I can eat anything, right? What about yours?"
The German man frowned, his blue eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he smiled cheerfully and said, "I still have some. If you're hungry, you can eat first. We're heading to another part of Germany, and we'll have to go through a highway. Sir, you won't be able to handle that, so please eat first if you're hungry."
Chi Che nodded, his amber eyes calmly observing the German man. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll eat first. Thank you for your hard work. I'll pay you when we get to Berlin tomorrow." The German man merely raised an eyebrow, smiled, turned back to his seat, started the van, and it drove smoothly forward.
Presidential Suite at the St. Karls Hotel, Berlin
Xia Jinghao leaned back on the sofa, his long legs crossed, his phone resting on his kneecap. His fox-like eyes were lowered as he looked at the phone screen. His eyes flickered slightly as he wondered if Shen Jiayi was asleep. He wanted to call her. After Chi Che came to meet him, they would prepare to return to Ancheng.
Xia Jinghao's gaze turned cold, his fox-like eyes sharp as knives, slightly piercing. His handsome face was cold and gloomy, his petal-shaped lips tightly pressed together. He realized how much he missed Shen Jiayi, how much he wanted to kiss her to death, to hold her in his arms, to sleep with her, and to kiss away the fragrance on her body.
He missed this woman so much that the time on his phone screen showed it was already past 11 a.m. Xia Jinghao put down his phone and tossed it aside on the sofa. He stood up, and the bathroom door opened. Xia Jinghao looked up and saw Nan Zeyu coming out of the bathroom. He strode out of the bathroom with his long legs, wearing a gray-black suit.
Nan Zeyu walked towards Xia Jinghao. Xia Jinghao straightened up, his back ramrod straight, his deep, cold fox-like eyes looking at Nan Zeyu. His dark eyes, as deep as a cold pool, looked at him calmly, his gaze gentle. He smiled slightly and said: Let me guess, Brother Jinghao, you miss Sister Jiayi, don't you? Look at your longing face.
Xia Jinghao's fox-like eyes darkened slightly, a hint of coldness in them. With a composed and handsome face, he glanced sideways at Nan Zeyu and said in a low voice, "Otherwise what? I'm waiting for Chi Che to come over. This kid hasn't called me yet. I'm speechless."
Nan Zeyu chuckled softly, his obsidian eyes curving slightly. He moved his thin lips and said, "It definitely won't be that fast. He won't be in Berlin until tomorrow at the earliest. Let's wait a little longer. Jinghao, where's Achen?" Nan Zeyu turned his face to look into the room.
He smiled slightly in his dark eyes, a smile tinged with helplessness. Nan Zeyu turned his dark eyes to look at Xia Jinghao, his gaze gentle, and he smiled as he said, "He just loves to sleep. He falls asleep as soon as he gets back. I'm speechless. He was like that when he was in kindergarten. He would sleep until the teacher was about to come into the classroom. I would immediately try to wake him up, but I couldn't."
Xia Jinghao's petal-shaped lips curled down, and he said with a wicked smile, "There's nothing we can do, let him sleep. Let's go have lunch, let's go!" Nan Zeyu nodded slightly and walked towards the door. Xia Jinghao turned around, picked up his phone from the sofa, and walked towards the bathroom.
Nan Zeyu opened the door. Xia Jinghao was in the bathroom with a toothbrush. He looked at himself in the mirror, his fox-like eyes widening in surprise. He had lost so much weight, and there was even a fine stubble on his chin. He frowned, looking so haggard...
A moment later, Xia Jinghao strode out of the bathroom. Nan Zeyu leaned against the door. He walked over, and Nan Zeyu turned to look behind him. He turned slightly, and Xia Jinghao strode out. Nan Zeyu pulled the door open, took the key card, and closed the door. His two long legs strode out with imposing steps.
Nan Family Mansion in Ancheng, China-
Shen Jiayi was still asleep when Song Yuyan woke up. She felt nauseous and her stomach churned. She quickly walked out of the bedroom, but not too fast. Her watery eyes welled up with tears. When she reached the bathroom, her stomach was very upset. Her brows were furrowed, and she covered her mouth with her left hand and supported her waist with her right hand as she entered the bathroom.
Song Yuyan bent down slightly, leaning over the toilet with her head inside. Her red lips were suddenly forced open by the force of her throat, and she vomited repeatedly into the toilet, feeling dizzy and her vision blurred. She didn't know how long she vomited before slowly straightening up. Her legs felt weak, and the pregnancy symptoms were kicking in. She didn't know what to do.
After staying in the bathroom for a while, Song Yuyan finally moved to the sink, turned on the tap, and vomited water, nothing else. She washed the area around her red lips, looked up at the mirror, her face was slightly pale, and her watery eyes were glistening with tears. She blinked and rinsed her eyelids with some cold water.
Pregnancy is so uncomfortable. It's only been a little over a month, and she really doesn't know how she'll get through the rest. Song Yuyan looked down at her pregnant belly, which was slightly rounded and bumpy. She gently stroked it with her right hand. "Baby, Mommy will overcome the difficulties and keep going step by step. Your daddy will also be with Mommy. You just need to stay in Mommy's belly."
Her eyes were gentle, her watery eyes were smiling, and her red lips curved into a sweet smile. She murmured in a soft, sweet voice, "After washing my face and brushing my teeth, Song Yuyan turned her pregnant body around and slowly walked out of the bathroom. I'm not sleepy anymore, and my throat hurts from vomiting."
She frowned and walked towards the walk-in closet on the side. Inside, she saw it was full of new season maternity clothes, in all sorts of colors and styles. She was only a little over a month pregnant, and Nan Zeyu had already prepared all the maternity clothes for her in the closet, from before delivery to during her pregnancy. She was amazed; how could she possibly wear so many maternity clothes…?
A throbbing sensation appeared on Song Yuyan's forehead. She glanced casually at the dressing room, took down a light green silk maternity dress, and slowly put it on. She walked to the full-length mirror, turned to the side, and looked at her pregnant belly with her watery eyes. The maternity dress concealed her belly well, making it appear less protruding and giving the impression of a flattened stomach.
As Song Yuyan descended the stairs, Aunt Li approached her, bowed, and said, "Young Madam, Mr. Li just came and left. This is a breakfast bag he brought for Miss Shen: corn and cheese scrambled eggs, a rose-flavored latte, and green grape-flavored jelly pudding." Aunt Li handed the bag to Song Yuyan, who then straightened up.
Song Yuyan's watery eyes flickered slightly. She looked up at Li Ma, her gaze clear and bright like a transparent crystal ball. Her pupils darted around, and she smiled, saying, "Okay, I understand, Li Ma. Give it to me." Song Yuyan took the breakfast bag and walked to the living room. She placed the bag on the coffee table and then turned to walk towards the dining room.
At 7:30 p.m., Shen Jiayi had just finished dinner and walked out of the restaurant. Butler Long approached her and bowed, saying, "Miss Shen, Mr. Li is here. He's waiting for you outside." Shen Jiayi's expression turned slightly cold, and her dark gem-like eyes darkened. She nodded, and Butler Long straightened up, put his right hand on her arm, and led her towards the door.
Outside the Nan family mansion, Li Cheyan carried a blueberry rose mousse cake, wearing a dark leather jacket and denim blue distressed velvet trousers. He was unrestrained, handsome, and tall, with narrow eyes that flickered slightly. When he saw Shen Jiayi walk out of the door, he strode forward.
Shen Jiayi looked at Li Cheyan, whose narrow eyes gazed at her gently. He smiled warmly and said, "I brought you a blueberry rose mousse cake, it was quite delicious. Did you eat the breakfast I gave you this morning, Dr. Shen?" Shen Jiayi looked at Li Cheyan coldly with her dark gem-like eyes. Her gaze was icy, and she moved her delicate lips slightly before saying, "I ate it when I woke up this afternoon."
