Chapter 501: Being cared for by others, who wouldn't be moved?
Another person also returned, but the security on his side was poorer, so he thought about coming back to meet up; once he heard it had already been arranged, he also sat down to eat.
The group finished their meal.
They went directly to the Guest House that had been found.
"You hurry and wash up, do you need me to watch you?" Zhao Qiu Hua asked.
The Guest House here had a private bathroom, so one could wash up inside.
An Yinan quickly waved her hands, "Sister, I am pregnant, not so old that I can't walk; there's no need to be so nervous."
Among the group, it seemed that everyone who knew was more nervous than she was herself.
Zhao Qiu Hua sighed. "You are just too headstrong."
She didn't say anything else, watching as An Yinan took her change of clothes and locked the bathroom door.
After An Yinan entered the bathroom, she quickly entered her space and took a lightning-fast shower.
She was mainly afraid that Qiu Hua would knock on the door at any moment; she certainly wouldn't have before, as everyone gave her plenty of space.
But now...
That was not necessarily the case.
Finally, the sticky feeling on her body was gone, and that fishy, foul smell was gone too.
She exited the space, wiped up the water on the floor, and poured out a good amount of the hot water, mainly because she didn't want Qiu Hua to discover anything unusual...
"Finished washing?" Zhao Qiu Hua walked to her side, looking as if she were afraid she might fall at any moment.
"No need to be so careful, Qiu Hua, you should go wash up soon too."
These past few days, she wasn't tired, but Qiu Hua and Big Aunt were truly exhausted.
Zhao Qiu Hua waited until she sat on the bed before she took her own change of clothes.
"Don't read anymore; you haven't rested well these past few days, get some good sleep," Zhao Qiu Hua instructed.
An Yinan nodded. "I won't read today, I'm sleepy."
The train ride was only two days, but she couldn't handle this little one tossing her about; she used to think that reading a book and taking a nap would be enough, but now she was vomiting and feeling unwell, and she could never sleep well.
Before she found out, she hadn't felt anything.
After the Pulse Reading, she only felt even more exhausted.
I mean, really!
She actually had a day where she was delicate.
An Yinan lay on the bed, and before long, she fell asleep.
As for Liu Xicai, she thought for a moment, and after her mother-in-law fell asleep, she went out to find a place to make a call and dialed Yun Fei directly.
"This is Yun Fei." After two transfers, Yun Fei picked up the phone.
"It's me," Liu Xicai said.
"You've arrived?" When they were going to Shanghai, they had called Yun Fei, so he naturally knew their itinerary; he had waited in his office today specifically for news of their safe arrival.
Liu Xicai smiled. "We've arrived."
"Nan Nan is pregnant." This second piece of news was like a thunderclap on flat ground, directly stunning Yun Fei.
"Then why are you still going to Shanghai? How did Nan Nan arrange things?" Compared to the ladies, he was still very objective and steady.
He knew this group; he estimated that no one could make Nan Nan change her mind.
That girl, she had a mind of her own.
But this was Nan Nan's first pregnancy; she didn't know much about anything.
How could she arrange it?
An Yinan, in her sleep, did not know that her uncle was caught in a dilemma on her behalf.
"We found out when we were on the train to Shanghai; Nan Nan said to wait until we arrived to see how to arrange things," Liu Xicai smiled; that child also had a mind of her own.
"You have to take care of Mom, and you also have to take care of Nan Nan; you've worked hard," Yun Fei said to his wife.
Over these years, he had done right by his country, done right by the military, and done right by his own military medals.
But he had failed his family.
His elderly mother was trapped in the Dayuan, and it was very difficult for her to get out.
His wife was busy with everything, and as the eldest daughter-in-law, she had to help with everything and consider everything.
The children had either been thrown into the military for training, and only Yun Qi had gone into politics.
Thinking about it now, he had done too little for his family.
Liu Xicai was stunned, her eyes growing a bit moist.
"What silly things are you saying? Mom is my elder, and Nan Nan is my child; I am happy in my heart to take care of them." Liu Xicai wiped the corners of her eyes and gave a silly smile.
Everything she said was from the heart.
When she was young, she had complained, but when she saw him so busy every day that he couldn't even eat, she felt sorry for him.
After slowly passing so many years, being able to hear him say such a thing made her feel content.
On the other end, Yun Fei's tense lips suddenly relaxed.
"Regarding Nan Nan, please try to persuade her more; the exercises are reaching a critical stage now, and Chen Xun cannot get away," Yun Fei said helplessly.
This was the helplessness of a soldier.
Their wives get pregnant, they can't do anything; their wives give birth, they can't do anything; their wives get sick and need care, they still can't do anything.
Orders are greater than heaven.
"Alright, don't worry," Liu Xicai replied.
The two spoke of a few other things before hanging up the phone.
As for An Yinan, she slept until dark.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a faint light; the curtains were drawn, and she felt a bit dazed.
"Is it dark out?" she asked.
Zhao Qiu Hua had been keeping watch in the room the whole time; ever since she found out Nan Nan was pregnant, she had stayed by her side, fearing that if she had any emergency, there would be no one around.
Big Aunt had to take care of Grandmother, and the others were all men, which would be inconvenient.
"Mm, it's dark. Are you hungry? Big Aunt and Grandmother went out for porridge this afternoon; it tasted good, so they brought some back for us."
"Do you want to eat a little?" Zhao Qiu Hua asked.
An Yinan nodded, got out of bed, and walked over to the small table.
"Wake me up next time; we can just go out and eat together," she said with a smile.
Zhao Qiu Hua looked at her, "You! There's no need to be afraid of troubling others. One is your own grandmother, one is an aunt who treats you like her own daughter, and one is your friend; why are you being so polite day after day?"
An Yinan looked at her and shook her head with a smile.
It was just her nature.
"How does it taste? Is our baby giving you any trouble?" Zhao Qiu Hua watched An Yinan eat, and only when she saw there was no reaction of wanting to vomit did she finally set her mind at ease.
While they were looking forward to this child, it was just too much of a handful for Nan Nan.
"No," An Yinan shook her head with a smile, took out the other lunch box, and handed the spoon to Qiu Hua.
"You eat too, don't be so nervous." She was the one pregnant for ten months, yet she was making others nervous to the point of exhaustion.
"You eat first, I'll find a light jacket for you to drape over yourself." Zhao Qiu Hua stood up, found a jacket—it was very thin—and draped it over Nan Nan's shoulders.
She didn't forget to urge her, "You're different now than you were before. Big Aunt said that when a woman is pregnant, her body's resistance becomes much weaker, so the things you didn't pay attention to before all need to be watched now."
An Yinan nodded without replying, her heart full of emotion.
Being cared about by others—who wouldn't be touched by that?
The next day, An Yinan called to contact Yang Yun.
"I am An Yinan, the person in charge of Nanyuan Embroidery." An Yinan's opening was very direct as she introduced her identity.
