_2 507: Chapter 343 â Having Children and Working, Equally Important!
_2 Actually, Lu Yinchuâs temporary agreement with Nanxi is based on understanding her, and also has a hidden selfish agenda!
From his perspective, Nanxi is still a fledgling, and there is still time for her to realize her dreams!
Therefore, he selfishly wants to keep her by his side and have her work under him.
If sudden situations arise in the future, he can react as quickly as possible!
The next morning, Nanxi, who rarely wakes up early, makes breakfast for Lu Yinchu as a way to return his honesty.
The weather outside is not very good, itâs gloomy.
Nanxi checked her phone and it seems thereâs a thunderstorm expected today!
The summer in H City is rainy, especially at this time of year.
The winters can be a little cold, contrary to what Li Weihuan said, claiming it doesnât get cold at all!
Having lived in H City for four years and spending two years in A County of this city, Nanxi gradually adapted, understood, and got used to the weather conditions here.
When she first arrived in H City at the end of August four years ago, the hustle and bustle of the metropolis was a bit frightening and panic-inducing after staying for so long in the small place that was A County!
Unlike A County, with its single road that led to wherever you needed to go, a big city came with a lot of temptations, many side roads, and so occasional disorientation was entirely normal!
Especially for someone like Nanxi who had a terrible sense of direction!
There were several times when she would walk onto a main road and find herself lost!
Nanxi believes that getting lost isnât a big deal, as long as you can figure out how to backtrack the way you came, to the familiar people and places, that is as long as you still want to go back to familiar ground!
Whatâs truly terrifying, isnât the confusion along your journey, but losing your soul!
â¦
After Lu Yinchu got up and washed up, he came downstairs looking refreshed.
On the dining table, there were freshly made pancakes and some side dishes.
Nanxi came out of the kitchen holding corn porridge, and upon seeing Lu Yinchu, she smiled and said, âYouâre up!â
He knew when Nanxi woke up in the morning, but he didnât get up with her, wanting to give her a chance to show off!
The breakfast was actually quite tasty; Lu Yinchu commented that there was too much corn in the corn porridge, masking the fragrant taste of the rice!
Nanxi frowned, thinking to herself how picky he was!
She decided not to make breakfast for him next time!
Let him starve!
On their way to work, they both remained silent.
Perhaps the late-night antics and the early rise to make breakfast had left Nanxi feeling tired.
She leaned back in her seat, not wanting to move at all!
Occasionally, she turned to look at the man next to her who was driving seriously.
His profile was perfect!
No, he was perfect in her eyes!
Thinking about the time when her colleagues described him as an alien, Nanxi now somewhat agreed!
As they approached the company, Nanxi prepared to get out of the car.
As she unbuckled her seatbelt, Lu Yinchu stopped her, âThe weatherâs not good today, donât get out!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
â®(â¯_â°)â What does getting out of the car have to do with the weather?
Lu Yinchu explained, âAfter you get out, it takes about five minutes to walk to the company.
Iâve lived in H City for more than thirty years, I know the weather here better than you do.
Thereâs about a 2.1% chance it will start raining in those five minutes.
So it would be better for you to sit obediently in the car.
Donât worry, itâs very safe!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Actually, she just wanted to know how he calculated that 2.1%==
Nanxi did not get out of the car, but she closed the car window tightly and casually picked up a newspaper from the dashboard to cover her faceâ¦
Lu Yinchu glanced at her, his lips twitched but he said nothing!
The car drove all the way into the underground garage.
The garage was empty.
Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the car following Lu Yinchu!
Just as Lu Yinchu was about to take her hand and lead her inside, Nanxi dodged him, âIâll go first.
You come five minutes later.â
Lu Yinchu frowned, âWhy?â
Nanxi thought he was asking why she was the one to go first, so she cleared her throat and said, âYou are the boss.
No one would say anything if you were late, but itâs not the same for meâ¦â
Lu Yinchu: ââ¦â
Even though there were no people around, Nanxi still felt as if she were playing a spy game.
She quietly entered the company and made sure that Lu Yinchu wasnât following!
When she got back to her office, she saw a relatively familiar colleague packing her things.
The colleague glanced at Nanxi, smiled, and left.
âWhatâs going on?â Nanxi failed to understand.
âSheâs pregnant, almost two months now.
She originally planned on pushing through until her maternity leave, but her husband wouldnât allow it and asked her to take time off earlier and return homeâ¦â
âOh, I see!â Nanxi blinked!
âThatâs not even the craziest partâ¦â The colleague leaned in and said, âShe was actually planning on quitting temporarily, just because having a newborn means youâd have to take a really long time off anyway.
But guess what happened in the end?â
âWhat happened?â
âThe management actually gave her a paid leave that lasts up till she gives birth!
Itâs unbelievable, no company offers that long of a maternity leave!â
The colleague sighed, âBut she has been working at the company for nearly five years, and her work performance has always been excellent.
Maybe the executives were worried she would really quit so they decided to show some empathy.
If it were us, it wouldnât necessarily be the case!â
This colleague has only been at the company for just over a year and doesnât have much seniority!
Listening to this, Nanxi just smiled and said nothing!
Everyone returned to their workstations.
Nanxi took a deep breath.
Sheâs been particularly sensitive to words like âpregnantâ, âpregnant womanâ, etc.
lately.
She clearly understood why Lu Yinchu had been coming after her night after night and why her mother-in-law had been making tonic soup to nourish her body.
Deep down, she really did want to have a child for Lu Yinchu.
Her hand instinctively rubbed her belly.
Last time, Lu Yinchu said there might already be a baby growing inside her.
She didnât know if itâs true!
But she still hasnât felt anything yet.
Itâs probably still too early!
However, this brings up another question.
If she were pregnant, would Lu Yinchu allow her to continue working?
After thinking for a while, she felt that she should have a serious discussion with Lu Yinchu about this!
In her perspective, having a baby is important, but so is working!
