Chapter 638: What Do Pregnant Women Eat?
Mu Xichen took Li Beinian back to Tai Chen Prefecture. The moment she hopped out of the car, Mu Xichen immediately picked her up and said in shock, “Be careful!”
Li Beinian was amazed.
Upon arriving home in the afternoon, Mu Xichen left again to buy groceries to cook.
Once he was out, Li Beinian took the opportunity and sneaked into the study, where the man had spent all afternoon. There was a search page up on the computer screen: What does a newly-pregnant woman eat?
Li Beinian’s eyes started to sting. She snapped the webpage shut and typed in a search in exasperation: What if I don’t want to get pregnant at the moment!
The first answer that the search returned was: Contraceptive.
This brought her even closer to tears.
It’s too late!
Very soon, Mu Xichen was back. He made fish soup, white prawns, and various nutritious home-cooked dishes.
Not only did he cook and wash the dishes himself, he even laid anti-slip strips in the bathroom for her. Before Li Beinian slept that night, he made her a glass of hot milk and forced her to drink it.
Li Beinian reluctantly drank half a glass and he himself drank the other half.
That night, as Mu Xichen laid on the bed with his arms around her, he stared at her belly.
Li Beinian couldn’t stand being stared at and said, “Aren’t you just so annoying? I may not even be pregnant!”
“Shh, it’s time to sleep.” Mu Xichen held her down.
Suppressing her anger, Li Beinian humphed and turned around to pull up the blanket.
It had been a long time since she had slept on a mattress. It was so soft that Li Beinian’s back ached.
She shifted uncomfortably and suddenly heard Mu Xichen’s voice again. “I like girls.”
Li Beinian said, “... look for one in your dream.”
Mu Xichen smiled as he held her in his arms. Smelling the faint fragrance of her body, he reached out to touch her belly.
Mu Xichen couldn’t help but feel excited at the thought that she was possibly carrying their child.
He was overwhelmed with emotions and his mind was filled with images of children.
Li Beinian, on the other hand, seemed to be having a rather fitful night. She moved around and turned over from time to time.
At first, Mu Xichen tolerated it, but after she squirmed and rubbed against him for the umpteenth time, he couldn’t hold back his anger anymore.
In her semi-consciousness, Li Beinian seemed to have heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Perhaps because she had been sleeping on a hard bed, she was not used to the mattress at home now, even though it wasn’t the softest.
Her back was sore and her legs were sore. She felt uncomfortable all over.
Nevertheless, she finally fell asleep.
Mu Xichen did not sleep a wink all night. Besides being infuriated by her tossing and turning, his mind was filled with anticipation and imagination for this child.
The next morning, Li Beinian woke up on time.
During her time in the army, she had set her biological clock.
Mu Xichen got up as well.
Li Beinian was annoyed to see the look of joy on his face as he held out the bag of pregnancy test kits in his hand.
She grabbed a few of them and went into the bathroom.
Following the instructions, she used four or five at one go, and then proceeded to brush her teeth and wash her face.
An early pregnancy test could be done as early as ten days into pregnancy, but most would normally require the woman to be at least a fortnight into pregnancy.
She calculated the time. If she were indeed pregnant, she should be about a month along.
After brushing her teeth, Li Beinian looked down at the items and realized… none of the kits gave any reaction.
Mu Xichen looked at them in disbelief and said, “There must be a mistake. Try again.”
In order to prevent such a situation, Li Beinian had kept a small portion of fluid in the small cup.
