CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 381: I LOVE YOU (155)

***

After much deliberation, Gu Lili agreed to Long Yubei’s proposal and moved to Qin Garden.

Xiliang Mountain is, after all, on a mountain where the climate is damp and cold, not beneficial for maintaining a pregnancy.

Moreover, living in Qin Garden means having a doctor around; if something is slightly amiss with the child, it can be immediately checked and emergency measures can be taken.

For the sake of the child to be born safely, she agreed to live with Long Yubei.

But she insisted on not sharing a room with him.

Long Yubei generously offered her his master bedroom and took the secondary bedroom for himself.

Being able to eat together every day and see her was enough for Long Yubei.

On the first day after moving in, Gu Lili was lying in bed reading a book about pregnancy care when Long Yubei pushed the door open.

He had a packet of medicinal herbs in his hand, "This is for foot soaking; your hands and feet are always cold. You need to do this every day."

"That’s herbal medicine..."

"It’s fine, I’ve asked the doctor. It won’t affect the child."

Gu Lili went back to her book, and after a few minutes, he came out with a footbath, "Stretch your feet out."

"Are you going to wash my feet for me?"

He looked very leisurely, "Happy to serve."

"Hmph, see how attentive you are now that I’m pregnant."

Long Yubei took off her socks and placed them in the footbath, "Is the temperature okay?"

"Yeah, it’s alright." She sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze falling on the book in her hands, "It says here that if you drink alcohol on the day you get pregnant, the child might have problems..."

"I’ve already asked the doctor about it. As long as it’s not frequent heavy drinking, it’s not a big issue," replied Long Yubei. "When the fetus reaches four months, we’ll do a comprehensive screening check. At that time, we can also see the gender of the child. Would you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"It’d be perfect to have one of each, but two boys or two girls are good too. Not everyone can have twins. The Long Family does have that gene."

Gu Lili, mentioning the children, couldn’t help but get angry and threw the book at his head, "When I wanted kids before, you said you didn’t like them. You wanted to wait a few more years. Now when I don’t want kids, when I’m not ready, you make me pregnant, and with twins at that! Long Yubei, why do you always have to take the lead? Have you ever considered how I feel?"

"I genuinely didn’t want them at first, and now I genuinely do." His palm gently held her foot, massaging it.

After soaking her feet and drinking some milk, Gu Lili, plus the early stages of pregnancy making her easily tired, soon fell asleep.

She had an unusually good night’s sleep.

She went out for a morning walk and came back for breakfast.

"Suddenly, I remembered that college classmate of yours, Shu Ya, is she still at your company?"

"Why bring her up all of a sudden?" Long Yubei replied, "She is still at our company, and her working capabilities are indeed quite strong."

"She also really wants to ’catch’ you." Gu Lili said with her head down, eating an egg. "Only our close friends and family know about my pregnancy. If she learns about it, she’d probably be so mad she’d want to curse at me. But thinking about it, I feel a bit of schadenfreude. It’d be good to infuriate her."

Thinking back to when Shu Ya came to Qin Garden to find Long Yubei and deliberately ignored her, Gu Lili felt that the woman was incredibly arrogant.

Of course, she never expected Long Yubei to actually follow through with her words.

When he arrived at the office, Shu Ya was waiting for him at the elevator entrance.

She’d made it a daily habit.
