Under the meticulous care of Xi Jiu and their families, Ruan Qi's belly gradually grew bigger.
The vibrant spring passed by, and in the blink of an eye, the scorching summer arrived.
High temperatures in summer aren't very friendly to pregnant women. For the sake of the baby in her belly, Ruan Qi painfully gave up ice cream and popsicles; even fruit had to be taken out of the fridge and left for a while before eating.
Xi Jiu knew how hard it was for Ruan Qi, so he specifically learned a variety of dessert recipes from Chef Chen. During the grueling summer months, he made different snacks for Ruan Qi every day, barely compensating for her inability to enjoy cold drinks.
And so, the sweltering summer slowly passed by.
The autumn, with frost coloring its leaves, arrived leisurely, and the belly that had been quiet throughout Ruan Qi's pregnancy suddenly started to stir.
The initial symptoms were nausea.
