Chapter 399 - Unrelieved
“How can that do?” Su Wan smiled and said, “Although I’m pregnant, I’m not that weak. Besides, the babies are already three months old. There’s no need to be too careful.”
Besides, the three of them opened the dessert shop together. She couldn’t always not do anything.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jing and Xin Yue held Su Wan’s shoulders and pressed her into her seat. Xin Yue said, “Just listen to us! We’ve already adapted to this working mode every day. Those things are really not a big problem for us.”
Seeing that her persuasion was useless, Su Wan was helpless. “Alright, then I’ll develop the new products behind and you guys can sell them.”
Xia Jing and Xin Yue nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, Su Wan slapped her head and said, “Aiya, I’ve been so busy these past few days that I forgot. Today seems to be my prenatal examination day. I actually forgot.”
Xia Jing and Xin Yue were both shocked. Xia Jing asked, “Wan wan, why don’t we rest in the shop today and accompany you to the hospital? Or we can call Jing Chen to pick you up.”
Su Wan smiled and rejected her. “There’s no need, Xiaxia. Jing Chen has been busy with Old Master Jiang’s funeral recently and hasn’t been able to take care of the company’s matters. He should be in a terrible fix at the company now. I’d better not trouble him. The two of you have been working hard recently. I can go alone. Don’t worry.”
“But how can I be at ease with you like this?” Xia Jing looked worried.
Su Wan patted Xia Jing’s hand comfortingly. “It’s okay. It’s not my first time going alone. You have to believe me.”
In the end, Xia Jing and Xin Yue still closed the shop to rest for a day and accompanied Su Wan to the hospital for a prenatal examination.
The prenatal examination went smoothly, and the babies were very healthy. Su Wan touched her stomach and looked forward to it even more.
When they got home at night, Su Wan told Jing Chen the results of the prenatal examination. Jing Chen was stunned for a while. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were doing the prenatal examination today? I should be by your side at a time like this.”
“It’s fine. Xia Jing and Xin Yue are here. There must be a lot of things piled up in the company for you to settle these few days. If you accompany me today, I’m afraid you’ll have to work overtime for a few more nights before you can finish. I don’t want you to become like that for me,” Su Wan said heart-achingly.
Jing Chen rubbed Su Wan’s head and blamed himself. “It’s my fault. I’ve been busy with work and neglected you.”
Su Wan quickly covered Jing Chen’s mouth. “Why are you saying this? It’s already good enough that you’re by my side.”
A smile bloomed on Jing Chen’s face. He took Su Wan’s hand away and leaned close to her face with a look of anticipation. “Then it’s been three months? Can I…”
Su Wan blushed. “Sure, but you have to be gentle. Don’t touch the baby.”
After getting permission, Jing Chen was exceptionally gentle that night, but Su Wan still felt extremely tired. In the end, Su Wan was carried to take a shower by Jing Chen in a daze.
…
After that, everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. Time passed very quickly. During this period of time, Jiang Xin would often come to the Jing Family to visit. However, seeing Su Wan’s stomach getting bigger and bigger and Jing Chen’s gentleness, she felt a sense of bitterness in her heart.
These… could have belonged to her.
Although Kang Xu treated her well after they got married, she still did not love him.
She had married Kang Xu to fulfill her grandfather’s dying wish and reassure him.
Jiang Xin thought of the man she had liked since she was young, and her heart throbbed again. She clenched her fists tightly.
“Jiang Xin?” Su Wan waved at Jiang Xin and looked at her in confusion. “What are you thinking about?”
“Huh?” Jiang Xin came back to her senses. “It’s nothing, Sister-in-law. I remember that I still have something on. I’ll get going.”
With that, Jiang Xin picked up her bag and left the Jing Residence. No matter how Su Wan shouted from behind, she didn’t seem to hear her.
Su Wan felt that Jiang Xin was a little distracted today, but she didn’t take it to heart. She only thought that she might really have something to do.
Jiang Xin did have something on, but she couldn’t tell Su Wan.
How could she let go of her stubborn love for Jing Chen in such a short time?
Jiang Xin stopped after running a distance from the Jing Residence and turned to look at it.
Instead of spending the rest of her life with a man she didn’t love, she might as well fight for it again.
