173 Suspected pregnancy 1
Zhou han called back in the evening, and what surprised Lin Li was that he actually took the initiative to ask about Xiao bin’s situation. However, in addition to being surprised, Lin Li still told him truthfully that she had brought Xiao bin back to the institution’s compound. Zhou han only responded casually and didn’t have any objections. Then, he casually asked her a few business matters.
Just as Lin Li was about to hang up the phone, mother Zhou came in with some snacks. She could hear that Lin Li was on the phone with her son and quickly asked Lin Li to call him home for dinner.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou han was silent for a while. Finally, he nodded and agreed. okay, I got it.
okay, ” Lin Li nodded and said, ” I’ll hang up first. After that, he hung up the phone.
Seeing that she had hung up the phone, mother Zhou quickly asked, ” how is it? how is it? did ah han agree to come home for dinner? ”
He smiled and nodded at her. yes, he agreed. She knew that she missed her son, just like how her mother missed her. Thinking of this, Lin Li suddenly really missed father Lin and mother Lin. Father and mother had been back for more than a month, and she didn’t know if father’s health was better now. Perhaps she should go back and visit when she had time.
“Xiaoli, Xiaoli?” Mother Zhou called out softly from the side, ” what are you thinking about? ”
Only then did Lin Li come back to her senses. She looked at her with a smile and shook her head.”It’s nothing,”
She didn’t want to say it, and mother Zhou didn’t ask much. Suddenly, she thought of something, frowned, and whispered, ” I saw you on the phone with ah han just now. Why did it feel a little strange? ”
“What’s strange?” Lin Li didn’t understand. At the same time, she recalled her phone call with Zhou han just now. Their conversation was normal, their tone was normal, and their content was normal. There shouldn’t be anything strange about it!
Mother Zhou looked at her and thought about it carefully. It was a feeling, but she couldn’t really put her finger on what was strange.
“What?” Lin Li looked at her with doubt.
She really couldn’t explain it. In the end, mother Zhou just shook her head and said with a smile, ” “It’s nothing, it’s nothing,” Then, he took the tangyuans that had just been brought in and placed them in her hands. He said, ” here, this is the tangyuan that mom just cooked. Eat it while it’s hot. If it’s not enough, there’s more outside.
Lin Li quickly reached out and took it. Looking at the big bowl of tangyuans, she looked at mother Zhou with some embarrassment and said, ” mom, I haven’t digested the food I had for lunch. Ever since the incident last time, her appetite had not been good. Everything she ate was tasteless. She hated and rejected all the food she used to like. Eating had become a task for her. It was a kind of torture. When she was really hungry, she would force herself to eat something. Otherwise, she would never eat.
“You still dare to say that? you only ate so little for lunch, even less than Xiao bin.” “No, you must eat this bowl of tangyuan,” mother Zhou said a little sternly.
Lin Li smiled bitterly, ” I ... she wanted to explain but was glared at by mother Zhou.
Xiao Li, don’t try to lose weight like those young girls. Look at yourself now. You really have nothing to lose. You’re too thin. Mother Zhou tried to persuade her. Lin Li thought that the girl was good at everything. She felt that her temper and personality were alright after meeting her a few times. The only thing was that she was too thin. Her entire person was as thin as a piece of paper. It felt as if she could be blown away by the wind. It really made her heart ache when she looked at her. In the future, she would have to let Zhou han bring her back for a long time. She would also have to make some good food for her to nourish her body.
“No, I, I just don’t get fat.” Lin Li smiled, but her heart felt warm. She could really feel her concern for her, and that kind of feeling was very warm.
“With your rat-like stomach, how much can you eat? of course, you won’t get fat.” Mother Zhou looked at her unhappily, then stood up. no, I have to go out and see how Xiao bin is eating. You finish this bowl of tangyuan, don’t leave a single one. He walked out as he spoke.
Lin Li smiled bitterly as she held the tangyuans. She had to really finish them!
In order to not disappoint mother Zhou’s good intentions, Lin Li forced herself to finish the big bowl of tangyuan. When she took the bowl and chopsticks out, mother Zhou and the little guy were no longer in the living room. The housekeeper at home saw her coming out and smiled as she reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks from her hands. She seemed to see her doubts and took the initiative to say, ” “Madam took the young master out to play.”
Lin Li nodded. Her stomach churned, and she felt so uncomfortable that she covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
When the housekeeper saw this, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly chased after her with some worry. She saw Lin Li half-kneeling in front of the toilet and vomiting out all the tangyuans she had just eaten. Even the things she had eaten at noon had been vomited out.
“Aiya, what’s going on?” The housekeeper went up to her worriedly and patted her back.
“Evil ...”
Lin Li vomited out all the bile in her stomach. After that, she sat on the ground weakly, her chest rising and falling, and she was panting slightly.
“Did you catch a cold?” The housekeeper guessed.
Lin Li’s entire body seemed to be on the verge of collapse. She could only shake her head, not even having the strength to reply.
The housekeeper went up to help her and let her sit down in the living room. She went into the kitchen and prepared a glass of water so that she would feel better after vomiting. However, she couldn’t help but wonder if there was a problem with the tangyuans she made. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes widened. She exclaimed, ” don’t tell me you’re pregnant!
He hurriedly brought the warm water out and placed it in front of Lin Li. He looked at her suggestively, wondering how to ask her for confirmation.
Lin Li took it and thanked her. Just as she was about to put it to her mouth, she heard the Butler Auntie ask in her ear, ” “Young Madam, do you vomit often?”
“No, no, I do occasionally.” Lin Li shook her head. She was well aware of her own situation. She had been like this for the past few months. She didn’t like to eat anything, and everything she saw was tasteless. If she forced herself to eat, she would always vomit it all out. She even wondered if she really had anorexia.
“Did you only have this reaction recently? Nauseating?” The housekeeper asked in a guiding manner.
Lin Li took a sip of water and only nodded. She didn’t want to explain anything and only responded perfunctorily.
“That’s it, it must be!” The housekeeper said with some certainty and kept nodding her head.
Lin Li was puzzled. She looked up at her and asked, ” “What is it?”
The housekeeper Auntie guessed that Lin Li herself probably didn’t know about it yet. She thought that she would wait for Madam to come back and tell Madam first, so she just smiled ambiguously at her and shook her head.”It’s nothing, it’s nothing,”
Although Lin Li felt strange and confused, she didn’t ask any more questions and just nodded. She lowered her head and drank her water. Although she felt better after vomiting, she was still a little tired.
The Butler Auntie saw that she looked a little tired and believed her own thoughts even more. She said, ” are you tired? why don’t you go into the room and rest? ”
Lin Li was indeed a little tired, and she felt that she had no strength in her body. Speaking of which, she really wanted to go in and lie down for a while, so she didn’t refuse and nodded. okay, I’ll go in and lie down first. Then, she entered Zhou Han’s room and lay on his single bed. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Lin Li woke up again, it was already dark outside. The sun had completely disappeared, and darkness had descended. She raised her hand to look at the time. It was almost six O ‘clock. Anran didn’t expect that she had slept for nearly three hours. She quickly got up and opened the door to see that father Zhou had already returned. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the newspaper, but his eyes didn’t seem to be on the newspaper. His eyes kept glancing at the little guy, who was playing with his Transformers toy, intentionally or otherwise. There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
At the moment, mother Zhou and the housekeeper Auntie were in the kitchen preparing dinner. The two seemed to be talking about something. It sounded like they were chatting happily, and from time to time, there were bursts of laughter coming from the kitchen.
Mother Zhou came out of the kitchen with the dishes and happened to see Lin Li standing on the side of the corridor. She quickly smiled and said to her, ” “Xiao Li, you’re up. It’s almost time to eat.”
Lin Li also smiled at her and prepared to go to the kitchen to help bring out the dishes. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
After entering the kitchen, Lin Li volunteered, ” “Mom, I’ll carry it.” As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and prepared to take the vegetables from mother Zhou’s hands.
Mother Zhou quickly avoided it and put the vegetables in her hand aside. She quickly pulled Lin Li and asked her to go out. Aiya, the kitchen is so smoky. Go out, go out. As he spoke, he continued.
“Mom, I just want to help.” Lin Li explained hurriedly. She would be a little embarrassed to let her sit and wait for the meal.
“No need, no need. Auntie and I will be enough. We don’t need your help. You just need to understand it.” Mother Zhou insisted. She muttered at the lowest point, ” you’re different now. You have to take good care of yourself.
Lin Li frowned and only felt a little strange. what do you mean? ” Why did she feel that something was wrong?
Mother Zhou was similar to the housekeeper Auntie. She only smiled at her ambiguously, changed the topic, and said, ” “Come, call and ask where ah han is now. Everyone’s here, we’re just waiting for him.”
She didn’t say anything, but Lin Li still didn’t ask. She just took out her phone and called Zhou han, asking, ” “Hey, where are we?”
“It’s still at the door.” Zhou han only paid attention to the short sentences and then directly hung up the phone.
Lin Li didn’t have to wait long before Zhou han came in from outside. He came in from outside with a briefcase. When he entered, father Zhou didn’t say anything. He only glanced at him indifferently, then lowered his head and read the newspaper in his hand as if he didn’t see it.
Mother Zhou quickly went forward and pulled Zhou han in with a happy face. She smiled as she spoke, then she shouted to the housekeeper that everyone was here and that they could start eating.
Zhou han raised his eyes and met Lin Li’s eyes. He didn’t say anything and just nodded lightly.
