Chapter 486 Li Cheyan, ...How did you find your way here?
Song Yuyan was enjoying her afternoon tea. She had her legs flat on the sofa, leaning against it with her back against the cushions. On the coffee table were her favorite strawberry low-sugar mousse cake cups, colorful little cakes decorated with fruit flowers and just the right amount of fruit jam, as well as matcha cream puffs and black pearl mochi cakes. She was happily eating her low-sugar desserts when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
She looked up and saw Shen Jiayi slowly walking down the escalator, which startled Song Yuyan so much that she immediately dropped the strawberry mousse cupcake in her hand. She was about to get up when she realized that she was also pregnant and couldn't get excited. Song Yuyan put her feet on the carpet, gently moved her pregnant body, and then slowly stood up.
After Shen Jiayi came downstairs, her eyes widened and contracted. Song Yuyan put her hand on her waist and walked towards her. Shen Jiayi also put her hand on her waist. Her pregnant belly was a little more obvious than yesterday. She slowly walked over.
Song Yuyan walked over, and Shen Jiayi stopped. With her level eyes, she quietly looked at Song Yuyan, who had a worried and furrowed brow. Song Yuyan's snow-white skin had a faint pinkish-peach hue. Her watery eyes turned cold, and she looked at Song Yuyan with a slightly icy gaze. She pleaded, "My little aunt, your belly is bigger than mine. Why did you come downstairs by yourself?"
Shen Jiayi was speechless. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, then looked down at her with cold, dark eyes. She smiled wryly and said, "I just finished talking to Xia Jinghao. He called me on video, but I don't know what happened to him. He hung up after a few words. I'm angry right now!"
Seeing this, Song Yuyan's watery eyes widened in surprise, and she said with a question mark on her face: Impossible? Brother Xia isn't that kind of person, is he? Isn't he going to sleep? It's still night or early morning in Germany, he needs to sleep too, right? Then how about I chat with you, you won't be angry, okay?
Shen Jiayi's eyes immediately turned icy cold, her black gem-like eyes looking at her with chilling intent. Song Yuyan was startled. She blinked her watery eyes, narrowed them, then opened them again, looked away, and walked over her shoulder, her hand on her waist, her long legs still nimbly striding towards the living room.
Song Yuyan turned around. Had she said something wrong? She followed behind her. Shen Jiayi sat down on the single sofa on the right. She slowly sat down, glancing down at the desserts on the coffee table. She frowned and said, "Why isn't there rose mousse? Yan Yan, I want some!"
Song Yuyan walked over and sat on the right side of the sofa. The two looked at each other directly. Shen Jiayi looked at her indifferently, while Song Yuyan looked at her with watery eyes and a smile. She smiled sweetly and said, "You want to eat it? Then I'll have Aunt Li make it for you right away, okay, Jiayi!"
After saying that, Song Yuyan was about to call for Aunt Li when Shen Jiayi quickly spoke up and said softly, "No need." Song Yuyan didn't understand what was wrong with her. She blinked at her with her big eyes. Shen Jiayi lowered her eyes, picked up a small piece of matcha cream puff from the plate, and said with her lips slightly parted, "No need, Yuyan, just eat these!"
Song Yuyan glanced at her with obedient eyes, picked up the matcha cream puff, and carefully put it to her lips. Song Yuyan cutely stuck out her tongue, smiled brightly and squinted her eyes and said: "Okay then, actually I only want low-sugar ones, because after I got pregnant, Nan Zeyu asked Li Ma to make low-sugar desserts, so I only eat low-sugar ones."
Shen Jiayi's lips curled up slightly as she looked at the matcha puff and chewed on it. Seeing that Shen Jiayi had accepted the low-sugar dessert, Song Yuyan didn't say anything more and joined her for afternoon tea. The two pregnant women sat on the sofa together, eating low-sugar desserts. Song Yuyan ate with a beaming smile, while Shen Jiayi remained calm.
After all, matcha cream puffs weren't Shen Jiayi's favorite; she preferred rose mousse cake. After finishing her dessert, Song Yuyan chuckled and licked her lips coquettishly. She glanced at Shen Jiayi, who hadn't finished her dessert yet, and cautiously asked, "Um, did Brother Xia say when he'd be back?"
Shen Jiayi subconsciously picked up the matcha cream puff, turned her eyes slightly, and saw Song Yuyan blinking innocently at her. Her eyes were indifferent, but her gaze was cold and icy. Her eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of silence, Shen Jiayi turned her eyes, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice: "He said he would be back in a few days."
Song Yuyan could tell that she was unhappy. She raised her hand and placed it on her right shoulder. Shen Jiayi looked up, put the half of the matcha puff she had eaten on a plate, turned her face, and looked at Song Yuyan with a blank gaze. Her pupils were slowly turning into tears. Song Yuyan's heart clenched, and she raised her hand to touch her slightly cold face.
Shen Jiayi's eyes were slightly warm. Song Yuyan gently touched the corner of her eye and comforted her, saying softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. I'll wait with you for Brother Xia to come back. You can't cry. You're so strong-willed. The two babies in your belly need to be just like you so you can protect them, right, Jiayi?"
Shen Jiayi blinked her watery eyes, which were like transparent pearls. Song Yuyan smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, with my Nan Zeyu here, Brother Xia will be fine, and there's also Gu Tingchen. So what do you want to do now? Tell me, okay?"
Shen Jiayi gave a cold laugh, which really startled Song Yuyan. Startled, Song Yuyan's eyes widened, and she placed her hands on Shen Jiayi's shoulders, looking at her pitifully with her watery eyes. She frowned anxiously and said, "Don't scare me, Jiayi! Why are you laughing like that? Tell me what's bothering you!"
Shen Jiayi's black gemstone eyes were like transparent pearls. She looked away, reached for the matcha cream puff on the plate, and held the cream puff wrapper in her right hand. She took a few small bites, aiming at her luscious rose-colored lips. Song Yuyan frowned, saying earnestly, "I told you, Xia-ge will be fine, trust me, Shen Jiayi, what are you doing?"
Shen Jiayi was eating a matcha cream puff, seemingly oblivious to what was happening. Song Yuyan sighed helplessly, rubbed her forehead, looked up at her, and said indifferently, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. You'll just find me annoying if I say more. You can eat now. I'm going upstairs."
After Song Yuyan finished speaking, she placed her arms on the sofa and slowly propped herself up. She put her right hand on her waist, turned around, and Shen Jiayi slightly raised her eyelids. She looked over and mumbled, "I didn't find you annoying, Yuyan. Go to sleep. I'll finish eating, okay?"
Song Yuyan paused, turned her head slightly, and uttered a few words from her red lips: "Finish eating!" Shen Jiayi then smiled happily. She looked at the coffee table, where all the low-sugar desserts were hers. As for Xia Jinghao, he had told her he would come back, and he would definitely come back. Thinking this, her gloomy mood suddenly cleared up.
Germany - Berlin
After finishing his video call with Shen Jiayi, Xia Jinghao lay down on the bed and took a long nap. When he woke up again, it was already dawn. He sat up, threw off the covers, and stood up. His stomach kept growling. His handsome face darkened, and he strode to the door and opened it.
Since Nan Zeyu and Gu Tingchen couldn't get into the room, they had to sleep on the sofa for the night. When Xia Jinghao came out, he saw Nan Zeyu and Gu Tingchen sleeping on opposite sides of the sofa, their heads resting on it. He walked over and asked in a low voice, "Um, are you both alright?"
Gu Tingchen opened his eyes first. He raised his head and saw Xia Jinghao standing to the side of the sofa. He slightly opened his dark eyes, frowned helplessly, and said, "You're finally out? I knocked on the door yesterday, but you didn't open it, Brother Jinghao." Nan Zeyu's eyebrows twitched slightly. He opened his dark eyes, raised his head, turned his face, and saw Xia Jinghao. His dark eyes were cold and unfathomable, and his thin lips pursed slightly as he said, "You're out, Brother Jinghao."
Xia Jinghao looked at Nan Zeyu with a calm gaze through his fox-like eyes. His bewitching face was adorned with a wicked smile, and his fox-like eyes were full of cunning. He said with a half-smile, "Yes, I'm fine now. I made a video call to my wife yesterday, and she convinced me."
Speaking of Shen Jiayi, Xia Jinghao's eyes shone with undisguised love, doting affection, and tenderness. Gu Tingchen's thin lips parted slightly in surprise. He nodded and said, "It still has to be Sister Jiayi. And now? Brother Jinghao, do you want something to eat? You didn't eat anything yesterday, aren't you hungry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jinghao's stomach growled softly again. Nan Zeyu got up from the sofa, his dark eyes indifferent, and said in a low, cold voice as he took a step: "I'll go get some food." Nan Zeyu walked towards the door. Gu Tingchen turned his gaze to Xia Jinghao, who covered his mouth and yawned, saying: "Ha... let's eat something later, Jinghao-ge. I want to sleep a little longer!"
Xia Jinghao smiled slightly, his fox-like eyes reaching his very core. He whispered to Gu Tingchen, "Okay, you go to sleep. I'm already awake. Go to your room and sleep!" Gu Tingchen nodded, stood up, yawning as he strode towards his room. Xia Jinghao smiled and strode towards the bathroom.
A moment later, Xia Jinghao finished his shower and emerged from the bathroom refreshed. He was wearing a black and gold bathrobe, his muscular chest half-open, his hair slightly damp, and the bathrobe sash casually tied in a knot. His pale skin was almost translucent. He was tall and slender, his bones much thinner, especially his collarbone, which was sunken, and his chin, which was now more pointed, making his jawline appear as sharp as a knife.
After taking a shower, Xia Jinghao stood in front of the French windows in the living room. The door opened, and he turned around. Nan Zeyu was carrying a gold bag. He raised the gold bag and strode over. Xia Jinghao watched him walk over. Nan Zeyu looked at Xia Jinghao with calm black eyes and said in a cool tone, "I bought breakfast. Put it on the coffee table, Brother Jinghao."
Xia Jinghao's fox-like eyes deepened slightly. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Okay, I'm sorry to have worried you, Zeyu." Nan Zeyu's obsidian eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, which quickly turned cold and indifferent. He nodded slightly. Nan Zeyu smiled faintly, turned around, and placed the hotel breakfast he had bought on the coffee table.
Gu Tingchen didn't eat breakfast, so Nan Zeyu and Xia Jinghao sat on the sofa and ate. There were several kinds of breakfast. Xia Jinghao looked like he hadn't eaten for dozens of days. He opened the Western food packaging box, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth until his mouth was bulging.
Nan Zeyu's dark eyes narrowed. He took a fork in each hand, cut open the sirloin steak, glanced at Xia Jinghao, picked up a piece of steak with his right fork, and put it in his mouth. He said helplessly, "Eat slowly. You look like you've been starving for dozens of days, Jinghao-ge." Xia Jinghao felt a little choked up as he ate.
Nan Zeyu quickly put down his fork, stood up, lowered his eyes, and scanned the coffee table with his deep black eyes. He saw a dark blue bottle of wine, picked it up, and pushed it to Xia Jinghao. Xia Jinghao felt a dryness in his throat. He frowned, glanced at the bottle with his fox-like eyes, quickly picked up the dark blue bottle, opened it, and then poured the wine down his throat.
Anseong Nan Family Mansion-
It was a little past seven in the evening when the two entered the restaurant. Xu Lin and Xiao Ying went back to Luojin Villa for the time being, leaving Shen Jiayi at the Nan family mansion. The dining table was filled with six dishes and a soup: carrot and egg meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic crayfish, tomato and beef ribs, stir-fried pork trotters with wood ear mushrooms, potato and pork slices, and a pot of crucian carp and tofu soup.
Shen Jiayi pulled out the dining table and chairs. She sat down, her eyes slightly glazed over as she stared at the table. She said it was nothing, but in her heart she was still wondering what Xia Jinghao was doing. Was he awake? Her eyes darkened slightly, and she lowered her head. Song Yuyan placed her three dishes within easy reach. She reached for the dishes with her chopsticks and glanced at them.
Song Yuyan's red lips parted slightly, and she rolled her bright, watery eyes around. Her voice was soft and sweet as she said, "Don't think about it, Jiayi. You can eat good food at the Nan family mansion. It's better than what you eat in your apartment. As for..." Song Yuyan paused, then said softly, "I'm not going to say anything more. Let's eat, eat, eat. My baby is protesting. I need to feed him."
Shen Jiayi was taken aback. She turned her gaze to Song Yuyan and asked with wide eyes, "Do you know whether you're carrying a girl or a boy?" Yan Yan, Shen Jiayi bit into the pig's trotter and put it in her mouth. The pig's trotter was soft and tender, not greasy. She moved her fingers and picked up a small handful of rice, which she paired with potatoes and tomato steak. The aroma was rich and varied.
Song Yuyan was holding food in both hands, a beef rib in one hand and garlic crayfish in the other, wearing transparent gloves. She paused, turned her face, and stared blankly at Shen Jiayi with wide, watery eyes. She subconsciously looked down at her pregnant belly, then looked up at the calm Shen Jiayi. She blinked and pouted, saying, "It should be a boy, I think!"
