In the evening, during dinner, Yu Jing looked at Su Rui, her eyes full of concern.
“Rui Rui, I didn’t know if your tastes had changed, so I let the housekeeper cook some dishes that you liked previously and some that are good for your body.”
“You pick the ones you like and don’t force yourself if there are any you don’t like.”
During the early stages of pregnancy, a pregnant woman’s taste would change drastically, let alone the time she would experience nausea.
This was something that Mrs Gu had gone through before, she could understand very well.
In fact, looking at the table of dishes, Su Rui was quite craving all of them.
Rather, listening to the tone of Mother Gu, Su Rui froze and instantly reacted.
Does that mean …… he told her?
Su Rui tilted her head to look at Gu Yu Cheng beside her.
Without waiting for Gu Yu Cheng to answer, it was Mrs Gu who first said, “Just now this guy already told me what he did.”
“This Gu Yu Cheng is really…”
In front of Su Rui, Mrs Gu criticized Gu Yu Cheng again.
Su Rui found it a little funny as she listened to it.
She had planned to talk to Mother Gu after dinner about her pregnancy.
She didn’t expect Gu Yu Cheng to act so quickly.
“Why don’t you guys just move back home? It’s okay to live over here, or if you’re not used to it, it’s alright to live on your parents’ side.”
Yu Jing voiced her concern, “There is no one to look after her (Su Rui) when the two of you are living at One Residence. Yu Cheng doesn’t know anything about this area…”
After Mrs Gu said this, before Su Rui could say anything, it was Gu Yu Cheng who first spoke up and refused.
“No, it is more convenient to live in the present location.”
Su Rui also nodded.
“Yeah, it doesn’t affect me that much in the early trimester. I can still continue to go to class, and it just so happens that living over there is closer to the school.”
After a pause, Su Rui added, “When it is really required later, we can move back home.”
However, this ‘later’ would be a while later.
Sometime before, Su Rui hadn’t really considered moving and living in the Gu family’s main residence or moving back to live with her parents.
If she went back to the Su family, it would be inconvenient for Gu Yu Cheng.
As for the Gu family’s main residence, the reason for this is that ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’.
Although Su Rui and Mother Gu got along quite well, this was based on mutual recognition and respect. After all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not mother and daughter. Thus, if they live together for a long time, there will always be some inevitable bumps and bruises, or differences in perceptions.
What’s more, during a sensitive time like pregnancy.
There are fundamental differences in the perceptions of the two generations.
Hearing Su Rui’s words, Yu Jing also nodded her head, expressing her understanding.
“Then if you want to eat anything, just tell me or your mum, we’ll make it for you and send it over.”
“Okay, thanks, mum.” Su Rui responded.
“There are only two of you living over there, it’s also troublesome to cook for yourselves. So it’s better to let the housekeeper go over and cook for you.” She wasn’t sure whether the food prepared by these young people would be nutritious or not. Thus, letting the housekeeper go over and prepare them will spare Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng from further exhaustion, and she will also feel more at ease.
The two of them have these small thoughts in mind. Yu Jing could also understand them and added, “The housekeeper wouldn’t live in your home either. She can go over every day at mealtime to cook for you and clean up a bit.”
Hearing these words, Su Rui thought it would be fine and simply nodded.
After that, Mrs Gu dragged Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng to talk about a lot of precautions for pregnant women.
Only when she saw that Su Rui’s upper and lower eyelids were struggling to open, did she let them go back.
Before she left, Yu Jing pulled Gu Yu Cheng back and softly reminded, “Gu Yu Cheng, I’m telling you, since you’ve decided to have this baby, you have to pay attention to the child.”
Yu Jing stared at Gu Yu Cheng and said in a very serious manner, “The first three months are especially important. So if there is anything, you have to bear with it and don’t mess around. ”
When Gu Yu Cheng heard this, his gaze moved and he nodded solemnly, saying, “I know.”
“Also, don’t go outside and fool around.”
Hearing these words from Mrs Gu, Gu Yu Cheng’s face darkened.
“I’m not that kind of person.”
“I know. Ay. Anyway, you should know it yourself.” After a pause, Yu Jing added, “On the in-laws’ side, it’s better for me to go and talk about it if it really doesn’t work.”
“No, I’ll take Rui Rui over tomorrow.”
……
Su Rui fell asleep when she was in the car and didn’t even know how she was carried home by Gu Yu Cheng afterwards.
Su Rui was woken up by Gu Yu Cheng’s kiss.
“Mmm, it tickles …”
“Awake?”
“What time is it?”
“10:30”, kissing Su Rui on the lips again, Gu Yu Cheng said, “Go take a shower before going to bed?”
“En, okay.” Su Rui nodded and was about to get up when she was already being carried by Gu Yu Cheng.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m carrying you to the bathroom to bath.”
