Lin Zhiyi increasingly felt that Fu Shu was too calculating.
She couldn’t quite grasp it.
So Lin Zhiyi decided to take advantage of Fu Shu’s injury and dismiss her directly.
Gong Chen nodded, agreeing, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll find a suitable nanny first."
Only then did Lin Zhiyi feel at ease.
"Let’s go pick up Xingxing."
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi took out her phone and sent a message to Liu He.
In a place she wasn’t noticing, Gong Chen’s expression gradually turned grim.
Fu Shu wasn’t delivering desserts, she was delivering herself.
Her behavior just now was exactly like how Lin Zhiyi used to be.
The feeling was a subtle thing.
Only those who cared about Lin Zhiyi would understand just how closely Fu Shu was imitating her.
Not her appearance, but her character and demeanor.
Even surpassing it.
However, Fu Shu was very clever, she filled a small gap in Lin Zhiyi’s character.
Stubborn.
Fu Shu retreated just the right amount, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Lin Zhiyi.
This was a very delicate age.
It was roughly when Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen first met.
But how would outsiders know?
"Third Young Master? Third Young Master!"
Lin Zhiyi’s voice sounded outside the car door, and Gong Chen turned to look.
"What’s wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? You’ve zoned out."
Lin Zhiyi leaned closer to the car.
Gong Chen raised his hand to rub the corner of his eye: "A bit tired."
Only then did Lin Zhiyi remember that today was supposed to be Gong Chen’s day off.
She had hoped he could rest at home for a while longer, after all, Xingxing wasn’t hard to take care of.
In the end, he came out to accompany her.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "Do you want to go rest at Uncle’s for a while? It’s not urgent to go back anyway."
"It’s fine."
Gong Chen got out of the car and led Lin Zhiyi towards the villa.
As soon as they entered the yard, they heard Xingxing’s laughter coming from the other end of the garden.
"Grandma, do you think the flower crown I made is pretty?"
"It’s pretty."
"It’s prettier when you wear it."
"Such sweet talk, like your mom when she was little, definitely not like your dad."
Liu He shivered at the thought of Gong Chen saying such cheesy things when he was young.
"Mom." Lin Zhiyi called out.
At the sound, Liu He adjusted her cloak and smiled.
Lin Zhiyi wondered if it was her imagination, but after only two days of not seeing her, Liu He’s complexion seemed a bit pale.
Lin Zhiyi quickly went forward and took her hand, "Mom, why do you look so tired?"
Liu He pointed at her belly, "This child, I don’t know what’s wrong, is so restless. I can’t sleep at all at night, my pelvic bone hurts, it’s uncomfortable sitting, standing, or lying down."
Lin Zhiyi also had a child, though it wasn’t this severe.
But as the child grows, the body indeed experiences discomfort.
She brought over a soft cushion and helped Liu He sit down.
"Was I this troublesome when you were pregnant with me?"
Liu He’s expression froze for a moment, and as she looked up, she met Gong Chen’s gaze.
She immediately lowered her head, rubbing her belly naturally.
"No, you were very considerate, aware of my struggles, you never troubled me, no wonder people say daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets."
"So this one..."
"No, your uncle and I haven’t asked." Liu He interrupted.
Lin Zhiyi murmured in acknowledgement, "Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"
"No more, I’ll go back after dinner." Liu He changed the subject.
"Alright."
Lin Zhiyi chatted with Liu He for a while.
Liu He’s complexion worsened, so she could only support her for a walk.
But after just a few steps, the baby moved, and Liu He still felt uncomfortable.
"Mom, have you seen a doctor about this?"
"I asked the doctor, he said the baby is lively, the movement is normal."
"Then I’ll help you lie down."
With that, Lin Zhiyi glanced at Gong Chen beside her.
