‘Hua Jin, if you can’t satisfy such a small request, I’ll be depressed!’
Hua Jin looked at her with heartache.
Perhaps, to others, such a request was too unreasonable.
However, he understood her.
Unlike her, most pregnant women are not temporarily blind, hence even when they have some sort of craving, they are more able to distract themselves by doing other things.
But that wasn’t the case with Yun Shishi.
She could not do anything else.
Drawing, embroidery, reading, watching television, surfing the net, playing games…
She even needed someone to help her if she wanted to go for a stroll.
Life was extremely boring this way.
There were probably not many people who could tolerate something like this. Perhaps, if it had been someone else, they would have already fallen into depression.
After hesitating for a while, he suddenly reached for his phone and said, “Wait!”
“Huh? What are you doing?”
She asked out of curiosity, but Hua Jin did not reply immediately. She could only hear the sound of the internet webpage being refreshed on his phone.
A few minutes later, Hua Jin put his phone aside and said to her, “I’ve just checked the information on the website and it says that it’s alright to eat something cold occasionally in moderate amounts. Furthermore, the weather is hot now, so there’s no big taboo!”
He fell silent for a moment,
then snapped his fingers. “Moderation! Right, moderation!”
“See? I’m right, am I not?”
Yun Shishi said agitatedly, “Previously, it was said that pregnant women must not work on the puter for long periods of time because of radiation! But in reality? When I was working in the past, many of my colleagues were pregnant, but none of them quit their jobs! They only went on maternity leave to prepare for delivery right before the time they were due. The little ones ended up being healthy!”
“But there’s no more ice cream in the house.”
Hua Jin carefully observed her expression as he said, “Youyou and Little Yichen have already finished up the lot between them!”
“…These two kids, how could they be eating so aggressively…”
As she muttered to herself, Hua Jin looked at her and laughed. “Alright, alright, stop nagging. I’ll take you to get some ice cream now, alright?”
“Uh huh!”
“Well, get changed then.”
“Okay!”
Leading her by her hand, he guided her to the cloakroom and retrieved her clothes. Then he shut the door and waited while she got changed.
He had his homewear on so it did not matter if he changed.
After Yun Shishi got ready, Hua Jin stole a key and stealthily led her to the garage. He helped her into the front passenger seat, got into the car, and started the engine.
“It’s already midnight. I’m afraid the ice-cream shop is closed!”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not Haagen-Dazs!”
Hua Jin held onto the steering wheel and thought for a while before his eyes lit up. “I know of a place.”
“What place?”
“It’s the largest night market in Jing’an District. It’s lined with shops serving supper. On hot days like this, every shop will be selling Baxy ice-cream by the box!”
“Baxy!”
Yun Shishi salivated even more when she heard that. “Baxy is delicious too.”
“Alright! You greedy little cat! I’ll take you to get some!”
Hua Jin stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly rolled out of the garage. He was so focused on talking to Yun Shishi that he had forgotten to look in the rear view mirror. Just as he drove out of the garage, a luxury car parked at the entrance followed closely behind.
Hua Jin drove the car at a leisurely pace. The thought of being able to eat her favorite ice-cream made Yun Shishi rather happy.
