Chapter 615: Routine Uncle
Chapter 615: Routine Uncle
Under the personal care of Lu's mother, Xiaomai finally showed all her indicators returned to normal during the prenatal check-up half a month later, and the fetus recovered very well. Seeing that her daughter was completely well, Lu's mother could go back with peace of mind. After all, she also missed Lu's father whom she hadn't seen for more than half a month.
Xiaomai was a little tired of staying at home, and all she did all day was eat and sleep. Mother Lu arranged all the big and small matters at home clearly, and she took special care of Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
This morning, Xiaomai got up early, packed herself up, and dressed neatly. As soon as He Lingting walked in, he looked at Xiaomai and asked, "Baby, are you going out?"
"Yeah! I'm almost getting moldy staying at home. Look, I'm getting so fat that my face has become round." Xiaomai said while touching his face.
"No way, baby, this is baby fat, it looks good." He Lingting pinched Xiaomai's face and said, he quite liked this feeling, a little fleshy and soft.
"I'm almost a mother of three children, how can I still have baby fat? Don't comfort me, I'm just fat, I'm just idle. Look, I can hardly fit into my clothes." Xiaomai said, rolling her eyes at the uncle.
"It's not your problem. The clothes have shrunk after washing. I'll take you to buy another batch of clothes today." He Lingting said to Xiaomai.
"What? I haven't worn many of these clothes yet, why would they shrink after washing? Besides, they are so expensive, the quality can't be as bad as you say. I just got fat." Xiaomai said with a pout.
"It's about clothes. Let's buy better ones today. Be good and go downstairs to have breakfast, then we'll go, okay?" He Lingting said while holding Xiaomai's little hand.
"Hubby, hubby, you don't have to go. I still have clothes to wear." Xiaomai protested. She wanted to say that she had gained weight here and wanted to go back to work, exercise and get busy. She didn't expect that He Lingting, a straight man, would actually think about buying clothes.
"That's not possible. I, He Lingting's wife, must have endless new clothes to wear. It's all my husband's fault. He has neglected this matter these days." He Lingting said seriously.
"Oh! Husband, that's not what I meant. It doesn't matter what clothes I wear as a pregnant woman. I mainly want to go back to work. How can I not get fat if I stay at home all day without any exercise?" Xiaomai confessed, pulling He Lingting's arm.
"I don't agree!" He Lingting said without even thinking.
"Why? My pregnancy is in very good condition now. Director Li said that I can do some appropriate exercise." Xiaomai said unhappily.
"No reason. I said no and it means no. Nowhere is as safe as home." He Lingting felt scared when he thought that Xiaomai had an accident while working outside, so he said in a cold voice.
"Even if you are unreasonable, the company is still yours and it is just as safe." Xiaomai said anxiously.
"That won't work either." He Lingting insisted.
"I don't care. I just want to go to work. I'll go today." Xiaomai saw that since the uncle was adamant, there was no need for her to discuss it with him and she made her own decision.
"You try it!" He Lingting looked at Xiaomai warningly.
Then he sighed and reached out to pull Xiaomai's hand. Xiaomai dodged angrily. He Lingting forcibly pulled the little girl into his arms and said, "Baby, be good. You are just fine now. There are a lot of people in the company. I'm afraid I can't take care of you."
Xiaomai twisted her body and heard the uncle lower his voice. She raised her head, looked at the uncle and said, "Husband, I'm not a child. I can take care of myself. I promise. Just let me go to work! I'm really bored at home. Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan doesn't need me to look after her. After a few days, when Mom goes back, I'll be even more bored and will easily become depressed."
He Lingting hugged Xiaomai and kissed her, saying, "My husband will never let you get depressed."
"Come on! When Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were born, you almost got depressed. How are you going to take care of me? I'd better find something to do and adjust myself!" Xiaomai said as she hit the uncle's chest.
It is true. At that time, Bai Chen said that the uncle suffered from postpartum depression. It sounded scary, but fortunately he recovered.
"I was just too nervous." He Lingting said with a blush.
"I stay at home all day, and I'm more likely to get sick if I'm in a bad mood. So, husband, please let me go back to work! Okay?" Xiaomai said coquettishly while nestling in He Lingting's arms.
After hearing what Xiaomai said, He Lingting hesitated. He really didn't think about the little girl's mood and emotions. He just thought that she was safest at home.
Xiaomai saw that the uncle's expression had relaxed a little, and then continued, "Husband, do you know how terrible postpartum depression is? I heard that many mothers with postpartum depression committed suicide by jumping off buildings with their children in their arms. I don't want to be that kind of mother, so my mood is very important. I need to be more exposed to the outside world. Going to work is the best choice. When I am about to give birth, I will naturally stop working."
"Do you really want to go back to work?" He Lingting asked in a deep voice.
"Yeah!" Xiaomai responded, nodding quickly.
"Let's talk about it after mom leaves!" He Lingting said in a muffled voice.
"Okay, then I want to spend more time with my mother these two days." Xiaomai said. She thought to herself, as long as she can go, these two days won't make a difference. As long as the uncle compromises, it will be fine.
"Well, let's go downstairs and eat!" He Lingting said, then took Xiaomai's hand, opened the door and went downstairs. Xiaomai looked at the uncle's back and smiled with a look of success. It seemed that her routine was successful.
At the dinner table, Mother Lu said, "Xiaomi, I'm relieved to see that you've recovered. I want to go back to Lin City tomorrow! Your brother and sister-in-law don't usually live at home, and your dad isn't so good at being alone at home for a long time. Also, I'm worried about your grandma because she's old."
"Grandma, please stay a few more days. Yuanyuan can't bear to leave you." Yuanyuan said in a baby voice.
"Yeah, Tuantuan also wants to play with grandma." Tuantuan also said.
The two little guys are very happy being taken care of by their grandma these days. Their grandma tells them about their uncle's childhood, their mom's design talent, and some stories they have never heard of. They really like their grandma.
"Grandma can't bear to leave you! But there's nothing she can do! She can't just leave grandpa at home without anyone to take care of him! Wait until some time passes, when mom is going to give birth to a little sister, grandma will come back, okay?" Mother Lu said as she looked at the two little ones. She also couldn't bear to leave them.
"Mom, I know you have worked hard for me, and it has also been hard for Dad." Xiaomai said with emotion.
"Silly child, why are you telling mom all those things? You are a mother now, so it's enough that you can understand how mom feels. After mom is gone, you must take care of your health and don't be willful!" Mother Lu advised.
"Yeah, you too." Xiaomai said with tears in her eyes. These days she really felt that a child with a mother is a treasure. She felt a little sad when she heard about the separation.
