CHAPTER 932: CHAPTER 730: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 71_3

Zhou Secretary, "Then, Bo Qin, where should we start looking?"

"My intuition tells me she’s in City S, but City S is so vast, finding one person is easier said than done."

Zhou Yao, "Over in City S, I’ll arrange for people to keep a close watch. Do you have any plans for other places, Bo Qin?"

Bo Qin, "Other places, she shouldn’t go to, keep an eye on her hometown, too. Stay alert."

"Alright."

...

In the first three months, Jian Dan didn’t realize the presence of the child, just looked a bit off in color. After four months, she was severely tormented. One moment, the aunt praised how well-behaved the child was, but the next moment she was so tormented that she vomited everything she ate. For three consecutive days, all she ate was vomited out clean.

The aunt was quite a skilled cook, and she even hired a nutritionist. The two of them tried to find a solution but couldn’t manage to improve Jian Dan’s condition.

When Lai Wei heard the news, she was very worried. If she wasn’t concerned about Bo Qin’s attention, she would have flown over immediately.

Now she could only watch the video and chat with Jian Dan. Jian Dan’s face was much thinner, and she looked quite frail, with the aunt beside her saying,

"These days, whatever she eats, she vomits. The child is being difficult."

Jian Dan herself was originally petite and thin, so with this struggle, her belly protruded, but her thinness was worrying.

Lai Wei, "Jian Dan, the way you are is concerning. What did the doctor say during your check-up?"

Jian Dan put a cushion behind her back and then smiled at Lai Wei on the video, "Weiwei, I’m fine. The doctor said the child is developing well."

However, if her body couldn’t keep up, having the baby would be very troublesome, but she didn’t tell Lai Wei that part.

Lai Wei frowned, "Jian Dan, let me ask you, I’m more worried about you now. Your child, you can clearly see is doing well, but you, do you realize how thin you’ve become?"

The aunt nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, exactly, Miss Lai Wei, please persuade Miss Jian to eat more, even if she can’t really swallow it. At this rate, the child will still be in the womb while she’ll collapse herself."

Lai Wei’s eyes reddened slightly, "Little Jian Dan, we’ve helped you so much, not for you to risk your life. If you treat yourself like this, do you believe I’ll immediately tell Bo Qin about your pregnancy?"

A flash of panic crossed Jian Dan’s eyes, "Weiwei, please don’t."

Lai Wei, "Then you must eat well, sleep well, don’t think about random things, and focus on safely having the baby, okay?"

Jian Dan nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Promising is one thing, but whether she can eat properly is another matter. Jian Dan did try earnestly, wanting to hold back the urge to vomit and eat those nutritious meals, but she couldn’t. Lai Wei watched twice and could tell that Jian Dan wasn’t refusing to eat; she truly couldn’t.

Is being pregnant really this hard?

"Little Jian Dan, what do you want to eat?"

Jian Dan paused for a moment and then slowly said, "Spicy hot pot, the one at our school gate."

Lai Wei: "..."

The aunt was also bewildered, but she still went out to buy ingredients and made a spicy hot pot for Jian Dan, who managed to eat it without vomiting.

Lai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the aunt. Lai Wei told the aunt, "For the next two weeks, just follow Jian Dan’s wishes. Make whatever she wants to eat. After two weeks, try making some nutritious meals for her gradually, and things should get better."

The aunt took it to heart, "Yes, I understand."

Following Lai Wei’s method, Jian Dan was indeed able to eat some things, but her appetite wasn’t great. Compared to before, she was much better, allowing Lai Wei to relax.

When Jian Dan went for her five-month check-up, the aunt accompanied her. The ultrasound showed the baby’s gender; it was a boy, with small features and big eyes.

Looking at the ultrasound, Jian Dan’s entire expression softened, and she gently touched the baby’s features on the screen, feeling a peculiar sweetness inside.

That’s her child.

...

In just over a month, Bo Qin changed completely, like being covered in cold frost, causing deep freeze wherever he went.

His temper was terrible, and his work was frenzied.

Those beneath him were suffering, yet the doubled salary made them bear their pain with pleasure.

The secretaries in the Secretariat were all silent as cicadas in winter. They used to dare gossip a bit, but now, they didn’t dare at all, sitting quietly like chickens.

Every time Bo Qin’s silhouette passed through the corridor, even in the height of summer, they felt as if they were in an ice cellar.
