Mist Shenshen noticed that there were no male items in this room, which suggested that Huo Jincheng probably didn't come here often. After all, he had been appearing in various major news segments in the country, and with all the recent issues surrounding the Hotel Management Group, he likely didn't have time to come by.
"When was the last time you met Huo Jincheng?" Mist Shenshen asked casually.
Jian Yunong thought for a moment, "It's been a while, I can't really remember. I've been quite busy lately too. Aunt, I want to tell you that I've learned a lot of interesting things."
Shiai looked excited, as if she had returned to her childhood. Mist Shenshen felt a bit dazed and sentimental; it had been a long time since she had seen her niece so lively. The young girl, despite her age, had always seemed timid and ethereal, as if she had seen through the world.
Mist Shenshen patiently listened to Jian Yunong, not intending to interrupt her.
After becoming pregnant, Mist Shenshen's personality changed somewhat; it was as if her edges had been smoothed out. She experienced the challenges of motherhood and was no longer as intense as before.
The two of them talked in the room for nearly an hour when the long-forgotten Ji Shaoli finally couldn't hold back and knocked on the door, bringing some fruit.
Pregnant women need to pay attention to their vitamin intake every day.
Jian Yunong cheerfully responded, "Coming right away, Uncle-in-law!"
Mist Shenshen glared at her, "What are you calling him?"
Jian Yunong looked innocent, "Isn't that right?"
"He's a ghost," Mist Shenshen rolled her eyes, clearly not elegant anymore, abandoning her earlier gentleness.
"But Aunt, you're carrying his baby," Jian Yunong weakly reminded her.
Mist Shenshen smirked slightly, "What's in my belly is mine. It has nothing to do with him."
Jian Yunong didn't believe it and thought of it as her aunt being playful.
Ji Shaoli entered with a fruit platter, a look of indulgence on his face. "Do you want to get up and walk around?"
Mist Shenshen didn't want to look at him much. "No."
"The doctor said you should exercise more to avoid issues related to advanced maternal age."
No woman wants to be told that she is getting old.
Mist Shenshen took a cherry and said, "Then go find someone younger to have children with. I think your ex-wife is quite young; didn't she want to have kids with you? Just wait for you to favor her, and she can open up for you anytime!"
Ji Shaoli's face tightened, but his words were still gentle, "Shenshen! You know that's not what I mean. I'm just worried about your health."
Mist Shenshen scoffed, "Your topic-shifting skills are quite poor."
Ji Shaoli glanced at Jian Yunong, who was sitting there looking a bit awkward. "Shenshen, we came specifically to see Jian Yunong. Are you sure you want to waste time arguing?"
Everyone knew that Jian Yunong was actually a patient, and conveying such emotions to her was not beneficial for her recovery.
Mist Shenshen paused, lightly touching her chest. Why couldn't she control her emotions?
Arguing with someone like this was a waste of time!
"Let's go. Nong Nong, accompany me for a walk. We should have a good family reunion."
Jian Yunong had no choice but to carefully support the pregnant woman, as if holding a stick of dynamite that could explode at any moment. Behind them followed the unflappable Ji Shaoli, who kept a close eye on her steps.
Walking along the riverside, after being blown by the night breeze, Mist Shenshen's mood finally calmed down completely.
"Nong Nong, do you really have no thoughts of going back?" Mist Shenshen held Jian Yunong's hand. "This place is nice, but it's ultimately still a foreign land."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but smile slightly, an emotion welling up in her eyes. "Auntie, I've been trying hard to live positively and become a normal person."
Mist Shenshen frowned. "Nonsense."
Her voice rose again, prompting Ji Shaoli behind them to immediately remind her, "Watch your emotions, be careful."
Although Mist Shenshen was dissatisfied, she lowered her voice. "My niece has always been a normal person! Who doesn't have psychological issues? Everyone does! Just because you have some minor health problems doesn't mean you're not normal! Absolutely not! Nong Nong, I won't allow you to belittle yourself like this. Even though you've always been a bit muddled and lack courage, I know you're trying your best. After all, no one is a genius; you can't become successful overnight. Auntie has always believed that if you take it slow, you'll definitely get better and better."
Jian Yunong's eyes turned slightly red, becoming glistening with tears. She lowered her gaze, not wanting her aunt to see that she was about to cry again. That would be too embarrassing in light of her aunt's praise!
"Your aunt is right. You need to believe in yourself," Ji Shaoli said.
Shiai nodded, "Thank you, Uncle-in-law."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she was pinched by Mist Shenshen. "What’s wrong with this child, shouting nonsense?"
Ji Shaoli glanced at Mist Shenshen and shook his head helplessly.
That night, Mist Shenshen wanted to sleep with Jian Yunong, which scared Jian Yunong into shaking her head repeatedly. "I move around a lot in my sleep. What if I kick your belly?"
Aunt's belly was round and there was a little life inside. Jian Yunong only dared to sneak a glance; she didn’t even dare to touch it.
Especially since Ji Shaoli treated Mist Shenshen like a goddess, which influenced Jian Yunong as well.
Mist Shenshen, however, didn’t take it to heart. "How could that be? It's not like we haven't slept together before. I know what you're like."
"No, no, no, I'm still scared."
Jian Yunong was used to being timid and was genuinely afraid that something might happen to her aunt.
Ji Shaoli smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Shen Shen. I'll sleep with you tonight."
Mist Shenshen had a habit of not liking to sleep alone when she was away from home.
"Ahh, let little... Uncle Ji... sleep with you." That title felt oddly awkward.
Mist Shenshen firmly refused, "No. Forget it, I'll sleep alone. You should go rest too. Don't let us disrupt your routine."
Jian Yunong was still worried, but Ji Shaoli gave her a reassuring gesture. "Go ahead. I'm here."
As she walked to the door, she turned back and saw Ji Shaoli standing in front of Mist Shenshen, hands enveloping her. Aunt had a sulky expression when Ji Shaoli suddenly leaned down and kissed her.
Jian Yunong covered her mouth and laughed quietly as she closed the door behind her.
The moonlight outside was bright.
For some reason, there was a moment of sadness.
She thought of Huo Jincheng.
……
The next day, Jian Yunong returned from exercising outside. The door to her aunt's room opened, and Ji Shaoli was supporting Mist Shenshen as they walked out. Her aunt still had a grim expression.
However, upon seeing Jian Yunong, a smile appeared on Mist Shenshen's face.
The group went downstairs for breakfast.
Suddenly, Mist Shenshen called out.
Jian Yunong and Ji Shaoli both tensed up in surprise.
Inexperienced Jian Yunong reacted the most, "Aunt, you’re not going into labor, are you?" She was flustered, unsure of what to do. Should she call 120? No, this is abroad; should she call 911 instead?
Her mind was a jumble.
