Chapter 868: Chapter 868 When Was I Ever Sad?
Ye Qiuqiu insisted on waiting until her daughter was six months old to introduce complementary foods, but her mother-in-law had already been nagging about feeding her porridge since Qianqian was three or four months old, always taking the opportunity to harp on about it. Ye Qiuqiu pretended not to hear.
While she was having breakfast, the mother-in-law took the child away; Ye Qiuqiu suspected she quietly fed her a little.
Ye Qiuqiu felt a bit angry.
The sneakiness and disregard for her opinions of the mother-in-law’s actions were quite annoying.
Later, seeing Chen Haobo return with the daughter, completely oblivious to anything amiss and being careless, Ye Qiuqiu sighed in frustration.
Chen Haobo heard her, “What’s wrong, why the sigh?”
Ye Qiuqiu replied gloomily, “Nothing.”
Chen Haobo, believing it was nothing, turned his attention back to playing with his daughter.
Meanwhile, since learning about Lin Gantang’s pregnancy, Wen Yanqing had taken to preparing breakfast every day and coming home from work early in the evening.
Wen Yanqing didn’t keep it from Wen Rendong this time and told him directly about Lin Gantang’s pregnancy; naturally, Mr. Lin was informed at the earliest opportunity as well.
At the time, Wen Rendong was savoring his wine when he suddenly heard the good news, forgot all about tasting the wine, and gulped it down in one go.
They had one? His old Wen family was finally having a descendant!
Wen Rendong became spirited, then suddenly remembered that his son and daughter-in-law were living outside and that Wen Yanqing was busy with work during the day, leaving no one to take care of Lin Gantang, and that was problematic.
He immediately took out his phone to call Lin Gantang, and upon getting through asked, “Tangtang?”
“Dad,” Lin Gantang responded.
“Is Yanqing with you?”
“He’s returned to the company,” Lin Gantang said, “Dad, are you looking for him?”
“No, I’m looking for you,” Wen Rendong felt that with Wen Yanqing not around and no one there to interject, it was a good opportunity to ask Gantang to come back home, so he said, “Dad sees that you’re pregnant without anyone to care for you, why don’t you move back home?”
But Lin Gantang felt comfortable and at ease living by the Yuanshui River and didn’t agree, “Dad, I’m in good health, I don’t need anyone to take care of me, and besides, Aunt Zhong comes every day to cook and clean, I don’t do household chores and I’m not tired at all.”
Wen Rendong didn’t give up and continued to persuade, “Still, you should be careful, right? Nothing is best, but dad fears the ‘what ifs’, and if you came home, there would always be someone by your side, which would put dad and your father at ease.”
After thinking it over, Lin Gantang considered that she indeed would need to be cautious in the later stages of her pregnancy in case of any issues where she might need assistance.
So she said, “Then I’ll move back during the later stages of the pregnancy, and at that time, I’ll trouble you, dad.”
“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all.”
Wen Rendong was delighted; if his daughter-in-law came back, his son would surely return as well.
Wen Rendong remembered something, “Right, I’ve heard that it’s not good to keep cats during pregnancy, should dad take care of the two tabby cats for you for a while? Or maybe temporarily place them at your father’s?”
Lin Gantang frowned, “Dad, I had a prenatal check-up and the results showed I have antibodies, so you don’t need to worry too much. And Big Mi has been very well-behaved, with Aunt Zhong frequently disinfecting the cat stuff…”
Lin Gantang thought about how to alleviate Wen Rendong’s worries, so her tone was slow and hesitant as she spoke.
Wen Rendong, however, thought she felt upset and wronged by his suggestion to give away the cats, and immediately changed his stance, “Ah, okay okay, let’s not send them away, don’t be sad, keep them.”
Lin Gantang: ?
When was I ever sad?
Could it be that Yanqing’s father is actually so easy to talk to?
“Then, dad won’t disturb your rest, remember to eat well.”
Even the reminders became more down-to-earth.
Still puzzled and looking at her phone, Lin Gantang hung up while Wen Rendong on the other end, thinking about how Gantang would stay with them once her pregnancy progressed, concluded that the confinement period would definitely have to be at home, right? And as the child grows, they would need to visit Grandpa, right?
He then excitedly called up an interior designer, pointing at the upstairs room, “Change it, change it into a nursery.”
“Add safety barriers around the outside pool.”
“Build a big playground in the courtyard. What? Not enough space? Wait a moment, I’ll go buy the lot next door.”
