Jinzhi dared not move. "...Ye Yu, has the baby moved?"

Ye Yu placed his palm on her stomach and felt a faint movement.

"Yes, it's fetal movement."

He excitedly placed his head on her belly to listen, holding his breath.

The subtle noises kept reaching his ears.

"They're moving; it's a strange feeling."

"It's amazing, that's life." Jinzhi patted his head. "You must treat them well from now on."

"I can."

After listening for a while, Ye Yu got up and gently stroked her belly. "Baby, be good. You can move now, but you can't move later. Don't disturb Mommy's sleep. Be good, and I'll buy you candy when you're born."

Jinzhi slapped him.

"Newborns shouldn't eat sugar; they need to drink more milk."

"Yes, drink more milk, grow up healthy, and bother Mom less."

Ye Yu gently touched her belly for a while, but the baby inside her was still restless.

Jinzhi couldn't stand it anymore and frowned, "Why are they moving so much? Can we ask them to stop?"

Ye Yu consulted a doctor online and tried the methods the doctor suggested, but the baby still moved occasionally.

Jinzhi was a little annoyed, and her gaze drifted to the storybook on the bedside table.

"Ye Yu, why don't you read a story to them?"

The man's soft voice drifted through the bedroom.

"In a dense forest lived a cute little tiger. How do you say 'little tiger' in English? Tiger is 'tiger,' remember that..."

After reading aloud in a mix of Chinese and English for a while, the baby in my belly actually calmed down.

Jinzhi said smugly, "It must be because you didn't tell them a story on time that they made a fuss. I'm the smartest one."

Normally, Ye Yu would do prenatal education for the baby around 9 pm every night, telling stories and playing music.

Young fathers are gradually becoming more responsible fathers.

It's a little late today, and the baby started to fuss.

"Yes, you're the smartest, and like you, you have a strong personality."

"You know how to talk."

After reading for half an hour, Jinzhi fell asleep.

Ye Yu put down the storybook, turned off the light, went to bed, held Jinzhi in his arms, closed his eyes, and ended this beautiful day.

That afternoon, Jinzhi was checking her stocks, which had been on an upward trend since the day before yesterday.

She invested a lot this time, and if this trend continues, earning back the one million from last time shouldn't be a problem.

"Ring ring ring..."

Yang Jiamei called, and Jinzhi answered.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"There's an inspection going on these days, so the shop is under renovation and closed for a few days. Why don't you come stay at my place for a few days? Mom will cook you something delicious."

She hasn't had much to do these past few days, so a change of environment to rest and prepare for childbirth is a good idea. "Okay, I'll have someone pack some things and we'll head over before dinner."

On her way to the Ye family's house, Jinzhi called Ye Yu.

"I'll stay at Aunt Yang's house for a few days. If you're busy with the project, you don't need to come back at night. Staying at the company is more convenient."

After that, no matter how busy he was, he would leave work on time every afternoon and do prenatal education for the baby in the evening.

"No, the baby needs prenatal education, and you won't be able to apply the pregnancy oil evenly."

"Mom will help. You go about your business and earn more money for me to spend. I'll stay for a few days and then go back. By then, your project will be finished."

"You're in the prime of your career, so work hard to get promoted quickly and avoid giving others cause for criticism. That way, you can take me and the kids abroad to fashion shows and buy bags more often in the future. Keep it up!"

Ye Yu has been busy these past few days. His mother asked him to follow up on a project worth 100 million yuan. If the deal goes through, he'll get a substantial share of the profits.

"Okay, call me if anything comes up."

When they arrived at the Ye family's house, it was lunchtime. Yang Jiamei had prepared a table full of dishes, and after the meal, she took her downstairs for a walk.

There is a park downstairs with an artificial lake, where many people go for walks and exercise in the evenings.

After returning from her walk, Yang Jiamei turned on the TV, but her attention wasn't on it; she looked at Jinzhi's swollen belly with a kind expression.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but I hope it's a girl, and that she looks just like you."

"Like Ye Yu is fine too, neither of us is ugly."

"Yes." She took out a storybook. "Xiao Yu has been worried about you, asking me to help with prenatal education for the baby and apply pregnancy oil for you."

Yang Jiamei did it one by one.

After finishing, Jinzhi asked, "Mom, did you call me back because there's something wrong?"

Since finishing her meal, she has noticed that Yang Jiamei has repeatedly tried to say something.

"Since you asked, Mom will tell you. It's your grandmother's death anniversary soon, and Mom wants to go back to our hometown. Would you... like to come with Mom to visit Grandma?"

"Of course I'd like to. Ye Yu said Mom's hometown is in a neighboring county? I haven't been there yet, I'd like to go and take a look."

"Okay, then we'll go tomorrow morning and be back in the afternoon, so it won't cause any problems."

"Um."

Ye Ran didn't have a holiday. This trip was only for the mother and daughter. They arrived at the cemetery where her maternal grandparents were buried together at around 10 a.m. - in the field behind the old Yang family house.

The sky was covered with thick layers of gray clouds, obscuring even a glimmer of clear blue, and the heavy rain, though heavy and gloomy, failed to fall.

Yang Jiamei knelt in front of the tombstone and kowtowed several times.

"Dad, Mom, I've come to see you, and your granddaughter Zhizhi too. Zhizhi is pregnant, and I shouldn't have brought her to a place like this, but I'm afraid if I don't come this time, I don't know when I'll be able to come again."

"May your spirit in heaven protect Zhizhi and the baby in her womb, and keep them safe and healthy."

Jinzhi also kowtowed several times.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm Zhizhi, your granddaughter. I'm so sorry for coming to see you so late. I hope you can forgive me. I will take good care of Mom and my younger brother from now on, so please don't worry..."

After speaking, Yang Jiamei took Jinzhi's hand and walked to another cemetery a dozen meters away.

After offering sacrifices and burning paper money, they gazed at the name on the tombstone through teary eyes, their expressions somewhat dazed.

He beckons to the golden branch.

"Zhizhi, come here. This is my sister, your aunt. She has no children. Kneel before her a few times and talk to her as a way of remembering her."

Jinzhi approached and saw the name engraved on the tombstone—Yang Jialing.

He knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the tomb.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Zhizhi, your niece. I've never met you, but I know you must be as kind and beautiful as my mother. I will take good care of my mother from now on, so you don't need to worry..."

After speaking, Yang Jiamei helped Jinzhi up.

He said to himself, "Your aunt was as beautiful as you when she was young, and she was very good to Mom. Sometimes beauty is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages... She left us too early."

When did your aunt pass away? How did she pass away?

And why was he buried at home?

Yang Jiamei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took her hand and walked back. "She's been gone for decades. She passed away from illness. She was a thoughtful person and disliked troubling others, so she suffered most of her life."

"That's enough. We've seen it all today, and we've returned to our roots. Let's go home."

She seemed unwilling to say more, so Jinzhi didn't ask any further questions and returned to Yuncheng.

Jinzhi stayed at the Ye family's house for three days. On the fourth night, Ye Yu called.

"The project will be over after the drinking party tomorrow. Are you coming back tomorrow? Your parents miss you."

I think it's because you miss me.

"Yes, it's me."

Jinzhi didn't agree immediately. "Let me see. We'll talk about it after the project is truly finished."

"It's definitely going to be over by tomorrow."

"Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow anyway."

Jinzhi has been feeling uneasy these past few days; she'll be six months pregnant in a week.

In the original story, she miscarried after being more than six months pregnant. Although the current situation is different from the original story, the main plot is still similar: she married Ye Yu.

As long as she doesn't act like a drama queen or cause trouble at bars and clubs, there's nothing wrong with her.

But whenever she has free time, she thinks about the miscarriage and feels sad.

Staying by Yang Jiamei's side, who had always protected her, made her feel more at ease.

Yang Jiamei never abandoned her from beginning to end.

It wasn't a good idea for Yang Jiamei to stay at the Ye family's house indefinitely, as she was busy with her shop and didn't have much time to take care of her.

The next day, after dinner, she was debating whether or not to go back to the Jin family home.

Ye Yu called, but she was washing her hands and didn't answer.

His message popped up.

Are you coming back? I sent you a gift.

Jinzhi became interested.

What?

A photo was sent over from over there.

A shirtless man stood in front of a mirror, holding an emerald necklace.

Although her face wasn't visible in the photo, her chest and abdominal muscles below the neck were well-defined and toned. She wore low-waisted gray pants, revealing a hint of her V-line, and there were faint blue veins bulging on her waist, making her look particularly sexy.

The emerald necklace in her hand stood out even more against her cool white skin.

Jinzhi's heart was racing.
