Chapter 315 Bottom Line (25)
The three of them returned to the city the next afternoon. Ji Xiao originally wanted to stay in the village, but her grandmother didn't let her, saying only that it would be more convenient for prenatal checkups in the city.
But Zhou Yian asked her to move back to the city with them, but she didn't want to.
Ji Xiao couldn't persuade her grandmother, so she had to follow Zhou Yian and the others back to the city.
Zhou Yian first sent his mother home, and then turned the car around with Ji Xiao and went back to their own home.
Along the way, she didn't say much. Although she knew that her grandmother asked her and Zhou Yian to return to the city for her own good, she just wanted to stay at home for a few more days.
Zhou Yian also saw what she was thinking, and could only gently explain to her: "Grandma did this out of her concern and love for you. After all, the medical facilities in the city are more advanced and complete, which will be more convenient for prenatal checkups. And you are not by my side, I really can't adapt, and I can't let you and grandma stay at home alone."
Ji Xiao nodded gently, but didn't say anything, but she was still a little angry. She had originally agreed with Zhou Yian to stay in the village to rest and take care of her baby, but now he brought her back, so she naturally felt very wronged.
So, she pouted and muttered, "But, the air in the village is good. Besides, didn't we agree before that I would stay in the village to take care of my pregnancy? How can you go back on your word? Besides, I'm only two months pregnant now, I'm not that squeamish."
Just then they had arrived at the neighborhood where their home was, and Zhou Yian quickly comforted her, "Okay, don't be unhappy, I'm just worried about you. You drove your grandma and the others out on a trip by yourself before, can we go back in three months?"
After he drove the car into the garage and parked it, Zhou Yian continued, "We're home. Please wait in the car for a while. I'll take the things out of the trunk and put them in the cart, and then you can get out of the car."
After saying that, he got out of the car, walked to the back of the car, took out the cart from the trunk, put the items he brought back from the village into it one by one, and finally opened the passenger door and carefully helped Ji Xiao out of the car.
At the same time, Ji Xiao complained, "I'm not that fragile." Although she said that, she still let Zhou Yian help her get out of the car.
After the two entered the elevator, Zhou Yian pressed the floor button. In this narrow space, there were only the two of them, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.
"Um..." Zhou Yian tried to break the silence, "Don't be upset. Grandma is also worried about your and the baby's health."
However, Ji Xiao still pouted and responded with an unhappy look: "I understand, but I really like staying in the village."
"But I need you. I just want to be with you. You guys have been out for more than a month, and I'm the only one at home. I can't sleep well without you at night." Zhou Yian held Ji Xiao's hand tightly, leaning his body slightly, resting his head on her shoulder, with a hint of grievance and coquettishness in his tone. It turns out that Zhou Yian also has such a lovely side in private.
Ji Xiao couldn't help laughing after hearing what he said: "But I used to go back to the village from time to time."
"That's different. You'll only be back in two or three days at most. And as long as I don't work overtime, it only takes me more than an hour to drive there." Zhou Yian explained seriously.
At this time, the elevator door slowly opened, Zhou Yian pushed the cart out of the elevator, then turned to Ji Xiao and said, "We're home, let's go in."
Ji Xiao smiled and nodded, and obediently let Zhou Yian hold her hand and walk into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Yian arranged: "Go sit in the living room and take a rest. I'll put the things away and the food will be delivered later."
"Well, have you ordered takeout?" Ji Xiao asked curiously.
"No, I asked the chef from Tingyu Pavilion to prepare it and send it over. The errand boy will probably deliver it soon." Zhou Yian replied.
"Oh." Ji Xiao responded obediently, then turned and went to the living room.
Zhou Yian pushed the cart into the storage room and began to carefully sort out the items he brought back. About half an hour later, the errand boy arrived on time and brought the steaming hot meals.
At this time, Zhou Yian had just finished sorting out his things. He picked up the lunch box and walked towards the dining room, saying to Ji Xiao, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat! These are all your favorite dishes."
"Coming!" Hearing Zhou Yian's call, Ji Xiao immediately stood up and walked towards the bathroom happily.
When the two of them were eating at the table, Ji Xiao couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why are there so many cars on the road today? Don't they have consecutive holidays during the National Day holiday? Don't they want to go out and travel to relax?"
Zhou Yian smiled and reached out his hand, gently stroking Ji Xiao's hair, explaining: "This is because the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and many public officials need to return to the city to work, so the traffic is relatively congested."
Ji Xiao gave up after listening to Zhou Yian's explanation. After all, Zhou Yian didn't have any holidays, and he had to go to work tomorrow.
"Oh, I thought only your job was so special." Ji Xiao smiled slightly, revealing a hint of understanding in her tone. Zhou Yian felt relieved when he saw that Ji Xiao was not angry. He quickly helped Ji Xiao put some dishes in the bowl and said with a smile: "That's about it! Stop talking and eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
The two of them ate and talked, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and happy. The meal ended in laughter.
After dinner, Zhou Yian brought Ji Xiao to the living room and sat on the comfortable sofa together.
Zhou Yian held Ji Xiao's hands tightly, and said with a serious expression: "Xiaoxiao, I know you like life in the village, but for the health of you and your baby, it would be safer to return to the city.
After all, the city has better medical resources, and if you encounter an emergency, you can get timely and effective treatment. And grandma is old after all, and she is afraid that she can't take good care of you, and she is afraid that if you have any problems, I won't be able to get back in time."
Ji Xiao nodded silently, indicating that she knew. She sighed softly and continued, "I know, I'm not really angry with grandma, I just find it hard to accept it all of a sudden."
Zhou Yian felt that Ji Xiao was a little emotional. He knew that this was all due to the pregnancy, so he hugged Ji Xiao and comforted her: "I understand that pregnant women are more likely to have mood swings. No matter what happens in the future that makes you unhappy, you must tell me the first time, okay? We can face and solve the problem together."
Ji Xiao leaned in Zhou Yian's arms and responded gently: "Yeah, I know." At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten all their worries and immersed themselves in each other's warm embrace.
Because Ji Xiao's emotions fluctuated greatly that day, Zhou Yian took her to bed early in the evening.
