He Xiyan stretched and let out several yawns before she crawled out of bed. Then, she got herself ready in a few simple steps.
They would go to Qin Garden to have dinner with Ye Hao’s parents that night and usually, they would go at least two to three tis a month. They were ant to go over during the Tomb-Sweeping Day but she had gone back to her hotown instead.
“Let’s go!” He Xiyan said as she held Ye Hao’s arm. They were both wearing long coats and they looked like they were wearing matching couple clothes, so they attracted a lot of attention when they walked around the company.
However, He Xiyan wasn’t too bothered by the attention since it was her first ti here, so she thought that it was normal that they’d be curious about her.
She didn’t know that when she walked past a room, soone glared viciously at her as though that person couldn’t wait to tear her apart.
Qin Garden wasn’t in the city and was more than 30 kiloters from the city center, and since they were also traveling during the after-work rush hour, they took more than an hour to reach.
His parents were eagerly awaiting their arrival and even went outside to welco them.
“Dad, Mum, sorry to keep you waiting,” He Xiyan greeted them with a smile.
Ye Snr. nodded politely while Xia Jingshu excitedly grabbed her hands and looked at her appraisingly, then finally, her gaze moved to He Xiyan’s belly that was still flat.
“Yan Yan, do you feel better recently? Have you stopped having morning sickness?” She imdiately asked. This was what she was most concerned about.
He Xiyan smiled to reveal a set of white pearly teeth, then she asked Ye Hao to wheel his mother indoors.
“The morning sickness has stopped a while ago, mum. I’ve been feeling great recently. Look at how much weight I’ve gained.”
Then, she patted her cheeks that had gotten rounder.
Xia Jingshu grinned from ear to ear. Nothing made her as happy at the thought of carrying her grandson in her arms.
Although her daughter-in-law wasn’t very outstanding, her womb was in great condition. She had gotten pregnant right after marriage exceptionally quickly.
After they arrived at the dining hall, the maids brought out the freshly cooked dishes from the kitchen and these dishes were on the lighter side. They were mostly stead dishes and very nutritious, each dish designed to provide nourishnt to a pregnant woman.
Xia Jingshu placed a bowl of bird’s nest in front of He Xiyan and said, “Yan Yan, please have so of this first. I had specially tasked our chef to make it for you. It’s a bowl of really good quality bird’s nest and it is very nourishing. It can even prevent stretch marks.”
The contents of the bowl were so thick that it looked more like congee and He Xiyan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at it, at a loss for words.
She had already eaten many nourishing als during her pregnancy and if she continued to eat these dishes, she would beco extrely fat. However, she couldn’t reject her mother-in-law’s goodwill either.
“Thanks, mum...” He Xiyan smiled politely and scooped up a small spoonful, then drank it.
“How is it? It tastes pretty good, right?” Xia Jingshu had forgotten that her son was right beside her and all her attention was focused on her daughter-in-law.
She completely ignored her son.
She also ignored her husband.
He Xiyan nodded with a smile and took a few more mouthfuls of the bird’s nest. She didn’t feel like drinking it but she wasn’t left with much of a choice in this situation.
“Yan Yan, you must eat more. I still have so of this bird’s nest here. You should bring it back to the castle with you. You’re almost four months pregnant by now, right? This is the ti your baby would be growing so you should eat more nutritious als so that your baby will grow up to be tall and muscular when he grows older.”
He Xiyan was left completely speechless.
She had just taken a mouthful of bird’s nest but she almost spat it out at her mother-in-law’s words.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the contents of the bowl and thought, if her little princess grew tall and muscular, she would look like a bulky shot-putter. She didn’t want her little princess to look so ugly.
Could she still be considered a little princess then?
