"Then come over and eat first, and then go to bed and rest for a while," Xu Yifan said.
"I won't eat. The smell of oil makes me want to vomit."
"Are you pregnant?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't even have a boyfriend, how could I be?" Li Minyu said quickly.
"I'm still not at ease. Let's go to the hospital to check it out now."
"I said it's not necessary. You eat, I'm going back to my room to rest." Li Minyu turned and went upstairs.
She went to her room and lifted her sweater, looking at her lower abdomen.
Her lower abdomen was white and still so firm, with no changes.
Her skin was treated by Guo Xuyang. She was covered in scars back then, and she asked Guo Xuyang for help after seeing Fatty lose weight.
Could Guo Xuyang also have that ability? Could he make people pregnant without being with them?
She shook her head, not believing it at all.
If that were true, wouldn't all the women in the world be in trouble?
Guo Xuyang didn't have that ability, but he had had an intimate relationship with her, which she didn't know about.
"Ugh." She gagged again.
Li Minyu really wanted to eat something sour now. Perhaps sour things could suppress it.
She got up and drank a large pack of yogurt, but she still wanted something sour.
"Mom? Do we have lemons?"
"Lemons? What do you want them for? We don't have fresh lemons, but we have a pack of dried lemons left for making tea." Xu Yifan said.
"Where is it? Let me see."
"In the refrigerator, I'll get it for you."
"No need, Mom. I can get it myself." Li Minyu walked over and opened the refrigerator. On the top shelf was a pack of dried lemons.
She reached out and took it, not afraid of the cold, and put it directly into her mouth.
It was sour and cool, and it felt incredibly comfortable to eat, leaving her body feeling inexplicably refreshed.
"You child, aren't you afraid of the sourness? It's so cold in the middle of winter, be careful, it might be bad for your health."
"It's okay, Mom. I feel much better after eating it. I feel a little hungry now." Li Minxi said, sitting down at the dining table.
"Why isn't my dad back yet? Even if he's busy, getting a daughter married is a big event."
"He wants to finish the work at hand today and come back early tomorrow. Eat quickly, he told us not to wait for him."
"Sigh, he's so busy every day, what's it all for?"
"Once your dad reaches this position, he's pretty much at the top. It's all about work now."
"That's true, but he neglects his family for work?"
"A person lives for a lifetime, like grass for an autumn. Even if he doesn't leave a good reputation, he at least has to be worthy of this position, worthy of the trust of his superiors, and worthy of his own conscience.
Your dad's journey to where he is today wasn't easy.
Isn't it the same for you? What are you doing it for? Isn't it to protect the safety of the people?
Don't say anything about your dad, you and your dad have both abandoned this family.
Now that Xiao Xi is gone, I'm the only idle person left at home."
"Mom, please don't say that. If not, I'll find a quiet job in the government when I get back?"
"I quite agree with what you said. It's not a long-term plan for a girl to be fighting and killing outside.
When you come back, I'll talk to your dad and arrange a transfer for you. It would be good to spend more time with me too."
Li Minyu didn't know why, but at that moment, she suddenly wanted to find someone to marry and be done with it.
Her enthusiasm for her previous missions of fighting and killing had also waned considerably.
Perhaps her mother's words had touched her.
She had been strong since she was young, but what had she gained so far?
She was lost in thought for a moment.
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"Ah? No, Mom. I just remembered something." Li Minyu said hurriedly.
"I heard that Guo Xuyang is planning to rent a private jet to take Xiao Xi away the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes. It's really a bit far from the provincial capital, and he's not short of money, so he rented a private jet. I heard that Jiang Qixin helped him find it."
"Uncle Jiang has such a wide network of contacts, and he saved Guo Xuyang a lot of money."
"Are you going with them the day after tomorrow? If you're not going, stay here and accompany relatives and friends."
"I'm not planning to go. I don't really like that Guo Xuyang. He has too many women around him."
"What do you mean too many women around him? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
Li Minyu realized she had let slip, and quickly said, "Isn't he in the jade business? He has quite a few beautiful models around him."
"Is that so? Then when you come back, you need to tell Xiao Xi to keep a close eye on him, otherwise, who knows when he'll bring those little vixens home."
Li Minyu secretly curled her lips. Not allowed to bring them home? There were already countless little vixens at home.
But she didn't dare to say that, for fear of ruining Xiao Xi's wedding.
If that were the case, Xiao Xi would surely want to kill her.
Guo Xuyang, of course, didn't know that Li Minyu was pregnant. He was currently drinking with Fatty Pi Xiaoxian and Wu Youzhi at a banquet.
"I say, Fatty, you've put on some weight recently?"
"I don't have anything on my mind lately. A happy heart leads to a rounder body."
"Control yourself, don't go back to how you were before."
"That's no problem. I resolutely don't touch high-fat foods anymore, and I mostly eat deep-sea fish, beef, and lamb. I absolutely don't eat fatty meat anymore."
"When it comes to eating meat, fatty meat is the most delicious," Wu Youzhi said, picking up a piece of pork knuckle and chewing it.
"You should also control your weight," Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"Him? He can't control his mouth at all," Wu Aili said.
"Sister-in-law, how long has it been?"
It had been about two months since Wu Aili got pregnant after the Lunar New Year.
"I just went for a check-up a couple of days ago, it's been over eight weeks."
"How many are there?"
"Twins," Wu Youzhi said from the side.
"Mr. Wu, congratulations, congratulations. Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses together and congratulate Mr. Wu and his wife on their twins."
"Thank you, thank you." Wu Youzhi raised his glass and drank it down. "This is all thanks to Brother Guo's help. Otherwise, I don't know when we would have been able to have children."
Wu Youzhi's words were ambiguous and made people think more.
Li Minxi, who was sitting next to Guo Xuyang, stomped on his foot hard and whispered, "What's Mr. Wu's situation? How is it that you helped him?"
It wasn't convenient to talk about this at the table, so Guo Xuyang pretended not to hear.
Xu Wenli, however, heard it clearly and asked, "Yangzi, you helped Mr. Wu's wife get pregnant? When you get back, help your brother Hui to see why he hasn't had children yet. I've been wanting to hold a grandchild for a long time."
"Aunt, you can't rush these things, it's best to let nature take its course. Mr. Wu had special circumstances, and he tried for over ten years without conceiving." Guo Xuyang could only say a few words perfunctorily.
