Chapter 605: Chapter 601 Staying for Nine Months to Give Birth?

--------------------

Xie Jingchen and Yan Jinsu safely returned to their family home, a situation that brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Clearly, the number of people rejoicing exceeded those in sorrow.

When Xie Jingchen returned to his room, Yan Jinsu was already slowly getting up from bed and had changed her clothes and finished washing up.

"Wife—" Xie Jingchen took a swift step to his little wife’s side.

"It’s nothing, my body seems to be getting used to the energy from Purple Star Source, don’t worry." Yan Jinsu raised her small face, which, despite the blush of fever, held onto her husband’s concerned hand.

Indeed, although Yan Jinsu had a fever, her temperature was just a bit over thirty-eight degrees, which wouldn’t cause damage to the brain.

"How about you don’t go out, I’ll bring breakfast in here..."

"Husband, are you planning to keep me in the room for nine months until the birth?"

"No!"

Xie Jingchen certainly didn’t have that in mind, but it would be better if she could stay in until the fetus was three months along...

"That’s not the case, then. Or do you really think I’m that frail?" Her body was a bit weak, but she was getting used to it, "Trust me, okay? I won’t push my body too hard."

"Okay." Hearing his little wife say this, Xie Jingchen no longer insisted.

Some things, the more one worries and overprotects them, the more pressure it adds to the pregnant woman.

Moreover, Yan Jinsu was never a greenhouse-grown Little White Flower. She might be physically weak, but her personality hadn’t changed; her innate perseverance remained.

Although Yan Jinsu was helped out by Xie Jingchen, seeing her complexion, which had improved after a good night’s sleep, indeed looked much better than last night.

The entire family of elders, women, and children were all fussing around her, to the point Xie Jingchen was pushed to the outer circle.

Xie Jingchen had just returned and was indeed busy. Many village elders came to visit the couple, and he didn’t have time to entertain each one, leaving Mr. Xie to host them instead.

After breakfast, Da Rong, who had been running around since last night’s late dinner, gradually returned to Qingfeng Village, and Xie Jingchen sent the womenfolk to the West Wing. Except for Xie Tiesheng, who listened in now and then, no one knew what further instructions Xie Jingchen gave.

On the other hand, after Zhou Zhenghui conveyed the message back to Beijing, he waited in place for four hours before receiving the old master’s orders, along with some unsettling news.

Yan Xiqing, overly worried about Yan Jinsu’s safety, had fallen ill within a week. His condition did not improve over the days and instead grew worse.

Fortunately, it wasn’t very serious, and he was merely recuperating at the Yan Family Mansion.

Once the Zhou family learned of Yan Jinsu’s return, they passed the news through their grandson to the granddaughter of the Yan Family.

Now the Zhou, Yan, and Tao families were all standing in solidarity. Additionally, Zhou Zhenghui was preparing to marry into the Xie Family as his family’s legitimate grand daughter-in-law, which meant that the Xie Family was also aboard the same boat as the Three Families.

Both Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen were capable individuals, clearly two highly promising figures, with Yan Jinsu being the direct bloodline of the Yan Family. It was quite natural for the Three Families to increasingly rely on the Xie Family in light of the circumstances.

With Xie Jingchen’s current merit, his professional title would rise steadily with the Zhou, Yan, and Tao families supporting him from behind.

During this past year in the county town, Yan Jinsu was not merely a little soldier wife, as the pharmaceutical factory and company behind her were not something the average person could achieve.

Xie Jingchen saw his subordinates off and turned around to be greeted by Zhou Zhenghui, who approached with a serious demeanor.

The two men exchanged new information and tasks under the banyan tree in the courtyard.

Rong Fang wasn’t at all surprised by Xie Jingchen’s request. When he noticed Xie Jingchen’s frown upon hearing about Old Master Yan’s illness and remembered how the elder had taken care of his wife when she initially disappeared, Xie Jingchen felt very grateful.

Hearing Zhou Zhenghui mention it, of course he was concerned. He would definitely have to tell his wife later, after all, that person was a blood relative of Yan Jinsu.

While Zhou Zhenghui and Xie Jingchen were chatting, both seemed casual but were actually keeping a close watch on the people appearing at the Xie Family Courtyard.

Seeing a village girl continuously peering around from behind the old longan tree opposite them, both men frowned.

"Someone from our village?" Zhou Zhenghui pretended to glance casually and saw clearly, indeed it was a village girl.

"Mhm, she’s probably looking for Xiaozi." Although Xie Jingchen rarely returned to his hometown, he still had some memory of his younger sister’s friends and close girlfriends.

Upon hearing that she was looking for his little woman, Zhou Zhenghui’s gaze snapped toward Xie Jingchen, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Zhenghui wasn’t a fool; that village girl was always hiding across from them, peeking out every now and then - she was obviously there to see Xie Laoer. The funny thing was, she had a little tail behind her!

Just then, Xie Jingzi walked out of the Xie Family Courtyard, ready to go to the village shop to buy some old soy sauce. As she came out, she saw her uncle looking oddly at Third Brother and moved closer to take a good look at Third Brother before shifting her gaze to the subject:

"What’s up with Third Brother?"

As Xie Jingzi stepped out, seeing that neither the subject nor Third Brother spoke, just exchanging furrowed brows, she asked.

"It’s nothing. What are you doing out here?" Xie Jingchen asked his younger sister.

"We ran out of old soy sauce at home. I’m going to the village committee to get a bottle." She raised the glass bottle in her hand.

Nowadays, buying soy sauce meant bringing your own container, so as soon as he saw what Xie Jingzi was holding, Xie Jingchen knew what she was about to do, but he casually said it to divert her attention.

"I’ll go buy it. Little sister, you take Zheng Hui back inside the courtyard, don’t bring just anyone home."

After dropping that comment, Xie Jingchen frowned, glanced at the old longan tree, and turned to stride off in the completely opposite direction - off to buy soy sauce.

"Ah huh? What does Third Brother mean?" Xie Jingzi looked at Uncle, asking hesitantly, "Uncle, did you offend Third Brother?"

Such an expression of indignation!

Instinctively, Xie Jingzi thought the person Third Brother was hinting at was her suitor Zhou Zhenghui. When they first started dating, the one who reacted the most was Third Brother.

Without the Third Sister-in-law, her and Uncle definitely couldn’t have worked out.

"Didn’t." Zhou Zhenghui looked at the little woman innocently and reached out to pull the confused Xie Jingzi into the Xie Family Courtyard.

The matters outside weren’t something for ’the younger generation’ like them to meddle in. He was still considering how to take the little woman back to Beijing and set the wedding first.

After all, he was a mature man, and little woman was of age too. To keep holding back like this, he was going to burst.

Xie Jingchen thought his obvious ’avoidance’ would shake off that village girl. People at that time were conservative, especially in the countryside where a woman’s reputation mattered greatly.

And that look he gave before he walked away clearly told her that he knew she was there, but he didn’t want any ’entanglement’ with her, he didn’t want to face her!

Little did he know, after watching the direction Xie Jingchen went and seeing the glass bottle in his hand, the village girl hesitated for two minutes but continued to stay in her place.

She... just couldn’t give up hope!

Although Yan Jinsu was a good woman, she was too strong-willed, and perhaps Brother Chen didn’t like such a strong woman?!

Still harboring a tiny hope, unless Brother Chen personally made things clear to her, she might never truly give up hope.

And because of Yan Jinsu’s magnanimity, the village girl was very hesitant: after all, Yan Jinsu did save her cousin, and what she wanted to do now felt like repaying kindness with ingratitude—
