After placing the last dish on the table, Shen Zhilie untied his apron.
Ye Qianqian sat on the sofa. She looked up and watched Shen Zhilie carefully arranging the dishes and chopsticks.
What a good manâa fine man!
But...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ever since sheâd come back from Yu Liliâs place, she felt more and more that something was wrong.
Sheâd been with Old Shen for such a long time, and sheâd never used any contraception, except in the beginning.
But for such a long time, thereâd been no sign of her being pregnant.
There were no issues with her health.
Everything had been checked.
So... what was it?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed that it had something to do with Shen Zhilieâs health.
She stood up and went to the kitchen to wash her hands.
While she was washing her hands, she thought about how to bring up the subject to Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie had already scooped the rice into the bowls. Seeing how distracted and aloof she was acting, he asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
Ye Qianqian quickly recovered and waved her hand. âNothing...â she answered.
Shen Zhilie sat down. He put a bowl of rice in front of her and said, âNot in a good mood?
Did being at Liliâs today bother you?â
Their daughter had finally been born, while for them... there was no pregnancy in sight.
He didnât know about Ye Qianqian, but he himself felt bothered by it.
Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie. She pouted and said, âHow could it bother me?
I just feel that thereâs something off...â
âWhat is it?â
What was it?
Ye Qianqian didnât know either.
But if she spoke up about it, would it affect Shen Zhilieâs mood?
But if she didnât say anything, she knew it would affect her mood.
Thinking about this, she felt a little tense.
Ye Qianqian didnât answer. Shen Zhilie frowned and asked, âSo whatâs the matter?â
She looked up at Shen Zhilie and saw that he had a foul expression on his face.
âI think if I tell you, itâs going to affect your mood,â she warned him.
It was rare for Ye Qianqian to be this hesitant.
Shen Zhilie stared at her, not knowing whether to laugh or to be angry.
A moment later, he said, âFine, letâs talk.â
Ye Qianqian picked up her bowl and took a bite of the steaming rice. She chewed it, savoring the taste for a while, and whispered, âIâm thinking about the baby issue.â
Shen Zhilie relaxed and said, âHmm?â
In fact, he had already guessed it.
When she came back home in the afternoon, she was obviously a little sad and absent-minded.
Nine times out of ten, it was because of the baby issue.
It was expected.
Shen Zhilie took a sip of soup and waited for Ye Qianqian to speak.
To his surprise, Ye Qianqian stared straight at him with her huge eyes and said, âWhen we went to get the medical examination before, there was nothing wrong with my body, right?â
âYeah,â Shen Zhilie answered, and then instantly seemed to know what she was trying to get at.
He looked up and stared at her.
Ye Qianqian felt like he had seen right through her.
With a slight cough, she continued, âAnd we havenât used contraception for so long, but I still havenât been able to get pregnant. I wonder if itâs you... is there something wrong with your health?â
Shen Zhilie stopped eating and put down the bowl.
The delicious soup in his mouth became hard to swallow.
Sure enough, these words affected his mood more than he thought they would.
Putting down the bowl, Shen Zhilie looked into Ye Qianqianâs eyes and asked, âDid Lili tell you this?â
Ye Qianqian smiled awkwardly without answering.
But Shen Zhilie wasnât stupid. It was only after sheâd come back from the Ou Ming house that she started acting like this, and anyone could have guessed the reason why.
