Chapter 551 Nagging
Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi were sitting in the small garden to enjoy the cool air. On the small coffee table in front of them were sliced watermelons. The bright red flesh looked very tempting. There were also two plates of exquisite snacks next to them. Under the moonlight, it outlined a peaceful and comfortable picture.
The moment he stepped into the Li Garden and looked at the scene in front of him, Li Shiwen felt as if he was dragged back to the past, and the scene in his memory when his grandmother was still alive overlapped with what he saw before his eyes.
At that time, on every hot summer day, grandma’s favorite thing to do was to sit here with them and enjoy the cool air.
The evening breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. The family sat together, chatting and laughing. For a moment, Li Shiwen stood there straight, not wanting to break the scene.
Li Jiawei has always had a special liking for watermelon. When summer comes, watermelon becomes her favorite and she wishes she could eat it three times a day.
But now she is pregnant, and Xiaoyu, the nurse who is responsible for taking care of her at home, is extremely serious and responsible. She strictly controls her diet and makes it clear that watermelon is high in sugar and pregnant women should not eat too much.
This made Li Jiawei very greedy. Now she has to be very careful when eating watermelon, just like a thief.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi was there to cover for her. Whenever he got the chance he would give her special treatment and help her keep it a secret from Xiao Yu.
As it happened, Xiao Yu had some urgent matters at home today. When Li Jiawei heard this, she didn't hesitate at all and quickly asked the driver to take her back to deal with it. She also enthusiastically told her to stay at home for two more days and not to rush back.
Li Jiawei was very happy. She could finally enjoy the leisurely and pleasant time with Xiao Yi in the small garden.
The two of them ate watermelon happily while enjoying the summer night breeze.
Xiao Yi picked up a piece of iced watermelon and handed it to Li Jiawei. She took a bite with great relish and was instantly surrounded by the sweet juice. She sighed with satisfaction and said sincerely: "It's so delicious. I haven't eaten so happily in a long time!"
Xiao Yi looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes, reached out his hand and gently stroked her bulging belly, and said softly: "Although it tastes good, we can't eat too much, just eat two more pieces, okay?"
When Li Jiawei heard this, her lips pouted instantly, her eyes full of grievance. She looked at Xiao Yi eagerly, and her expression was clearly protesting: Two yuan is too little!
Xiao Yi looked at his wife's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened, but he still hardened his heart and turned his head away from her. After thinking for a moment, he relented: "Three pieces at most, no more."
Li Jiawei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she was afraid that Xiao Yi would go back on his word, so she quickly stretched out four fingers and asked in a coquettish tone, "How about four pieces?"
Xiao Yi was so amused by her appearance that he lost his temper. He smiled helplessly and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say. Eat four more pieces."
Li Jiawei was filled with joy. She leaned forward slightly and gently kissed Xiao Yi on the corner of his mouth. She said in a soft voice, "Hubby, you are so nice!"
Xiao Yi reached out and gently scratched the tip of her nose, and said lovingly, "You just know how to act like a spoiled child." His tone was full of love that could not be concealed.
While laughing and playing with Xiao Yi, Li Jiawei caught a glimpse of Li Shiwen standing not far away and said quickly, "Shiwen, you're back! Come here, there's watermelon here, come and have some."
Li Shiwen had a gentle smile on his face. He walked over quickly and called out one by one: "Sister, brother-in-law."
Li Jiawei sat up straight and asked with concern: "Have you had dinner?"
Li Shiwen shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet."
After finishing his work, he went straight to the bar. When he got there, he had an argument with Li Yan. After the argument, they took a taxi back and had no time to eat.
Li Jiawei felt distressed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Eat some watermelon first, I'll ask the kitchen to cook for you. What do you want to eat?"
Li Shiwen took a piece of watermelon, took a bite, and said, "Just make a bowl of cold noodles. It's simple and refreshing."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yi stood up and said, "You two siblings can talk first. I'll go to the kitchen and ask the chef to cook for you."
Li Shiwen looked up at Xiao Yi and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
After Xiao Yi left, Li Jiawei looked at Li Shiwen with concern and advised him earnestly, "It's so late, why haven't you eaten yet? There will definitely be food in the company cafeteria this afternoon, so don't forget to eat when you start working.
You may not think it’s a big deal now that you are young, but when you are older, your stomach will definitely suffer.”
Speaking of eating, Li Jiawei couldn't help but think of herself.
This was how she used to be. She had to take care of her ex-husband's family's daily life while dealing with heavy workload. She was so busy that she often missed meals.
Over time, I developed stomach pain. Now, if I miss a meal on time, my stomach starts to ache.
Fortunately, after going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that the situation was not too serious. After a period of conditioning, her physical condition has improved a lot.
Thinking of this, Li Jiawei couldn't help but remind him again: "You have to be more careful, don't be like me, and regret it only after you develop a stomachache."
Li Shiwen listened quietly to Li Jiawei's chattering. Instead of making him feel annoyed, those caring words gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
His mother passed away when he was young, and his father was busy with work all day and couldn't take care of him much, so he grew up with his grandmother.
Although there was a nanny at home and his daily life was taken care of very well, but in Li Garden, except for his grandmother, he rarely felt pure family love from anyone else.
So after his grandmother passed away, he was shrouded in loneliness for a long time and felt emotionally deprived.
And now, Li Jiawei's meticulous care is very similar to the care his grandmother once gave him.
Looking at Li Jiawei, he seemed to see the shadow of his grandmother in her, and his heart was filled with warmth. The long-lost feeling of being cared for by his loved ones once again filled his heart.
Seeing that Li Shiwen was lost in thought and didn't respond for a long time, Li Jiawei raised her hand and gently waved it in front of his eyes, asking in confusion, "What are you thinking about? You didn't even respond when I spoke to you."
Li Shiwen had a gentle smile on his face. He reached out and held Li Jiawei's arm firmly, gently guiding her to sit on the chair.
Looking at Li Jiawei's bulging belly, he couldn't help but feel worried. The skin of her round abdomen was stretched so tightly that he really didn't expect that a person's skin could be stretched to this extent.
Although he seldom went back to Li Garden often, every time he came back, he could clearly feel that Li Jiawei's belly had grown bigger.
This was the first time that he felt so intuitively and truly the difficulty and hardship a woman went through in bearing a child, and his heart was filled with emotion and heartache.
