When it was time to leave work in the evening, Shu Pan had originally planned to leave with Gu Shaoting, but because he had some social engagements, she went home first.
With Joy not around, she felt a bit bored. Thinking that she hadnât contacted Xiaomeng in a few days, she decided to give her a call.
After a while, the call was finally answered.
Before Shu Pan could speak, Xiaomeng began to complain, âGirl, I donât want to have a baby anymore. Itâs too hard.â
After being pregnant for two months, Xiaomengâs morning sickness had become severe. She couldnât keep anything down, even water, and she was particularly nauseous every morning and evening.
He Ming couldnât do anything to help her, and he felt helpless watching her suffer.
He Ming was so worried that he consulted authoritative obstetricians and gynecologists, but they all told him that this was a normal reaction in the early stages of pregnancy and that it would pass in time.
Seeing Xiaomeng suffer so much from vomiting, but those doctors told him it was a normal reaction, made him want to curse for the first time.
He had already instructed the housekeeper to prepare some light and nutritious food suitable for pregnant women, but Xiaomeng still couldnât keep anything down, even throwing up after just a sip of water.
It felt like she was vomiting bile.
Shu Pan could really empathize with Xiaomengâs feelings because she had experienced the same when she was pregnant with Joy, vomiting to the point of exhaustion.
âHang in there. By the fourth month, these symptoms are usually much less severe, and youâll find everything tastes delicious,â Shu Pan Shu Pan could really empathize with Xiaomengâs feelings because she had experienced the same when she was pregnant with Joy, vomiting to the point of exhaustion.
âHang in there. By the fourth month, these symptoms are usually much less severe, and youâll find everything tastes delicious,â Shu Pan comforted, reassuring Xiaomeng that this was a necessary process.
âIs that possible?â Xiaomeng was truly fed up with vomiting.
âYeah, what about He Ming? Is he at home?â Shu Pan asked, knowing that in such situations, itâs important for the babyâs father to be around to support and participate, which could help the pregnant woman.
âHeâs gone out, saying something about a class reunion,â Xiaomeng replied.
âA class reunion?â Shu Pan was surprised.
âYeah, well, just take care of yourself at home and call if you need anything,â Shu Pan said.
After chatting for a bit more, they hung up.
Xiaomeng looked at the time; it was past 8 oâclock. Since becoming pregnant, she had developed a habit of sleeping early. She decided to go to bed and not wait for He Ming. Who knows when heâll be back?
He Ming was starting to regret attending the class reunion. Originally, he had wanted to stay home with Xiaomeng because her recent reactions had been really intense, so he had been sticking close to her every step of the way.
Yesterday, Yao Ning had sent a message saying that she had organized a dinner gathering with more than ten classmates.
When he arrived, he found that many of his classmates had changed, losing the innocence they had in their school days. After being introduced as the deputy general manager of Gu Group, they all came over to greet him warmly, offering compliments left and right.
He hadnât been there long when Yao Ning arrived.
Yao Ning looked a bit different tonight, having traded her usual white lab coat for a dress, which gave her a radiant appearance.
Most of their classmates were already married, so they kept teasing He Ming and Yao Ning for being single.
When Yao Ning arrived, she deliberately found a seat next to He Ming, and this time, people even commented that they looked like a couple.
As Yao Ning looked at He Mingâs profile, her face flushed red.
Throughout the evening, Yao Ning kept glancing at He Ming.
Was she starting to like him more and more? What should she do?
Occasionally, He Ming would turn his head and exchange a few words with her, but he didnât have any other thoughts in mind except for when he could leave the gathering and go back to be with Xiaomeng.
He couldnât help but worry about Xiaomeng being home alone.
