Qin Xiao obediently took down the clothes, and Xiao Li excitedly went to the changing room to put them on. Right now, her pregnancy is still early, her belly is still flat, so she can still fit into her clothes. Once she’s further along, they won’t fit anymore. Xiao Li changed into her clothes and happily ran to Qin Xiao to show him, "Uncle, am I pretty?" Qin Xiao smiled and pulled her into his arms, "Beautiful." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li laughed happily, "Uncle, I feel like I’ve gained some weight. Although I can still fit into my clothes, it feels a bit tight now." Qin Xiao chuckled, "It’s okay, after giving birth you’ll slim back down. You always recover your figure quickly after having a baby." Xiao Li looked up, "But what if I can’t slim back down? If I become chubby, will you dislike me?" Qin Xiao laughed softly, "Probably will!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Li puffed out her cheeks angrily, "What did you just say!" Qin Xiao laughed even more heartily. Xiao Li watched him laugh, and gradually, she found herself laughing along. After laughing for a while, Xiao Li went to change out of the clothes, still reluctant to wear them. Seeing her , Qin Xiao didn’t say much, but he frequently went to the study to sketch whenever he had time. Not long after, new clothes arrived at their home. This time, the clothes sent weren’t cheongsams. Since Xiao Li is pregnant, the clothes needed to be comfortable. So, Qin Xiao designed a few loose long dresses, each with a pattern of bellflowers and some other totems. When Xiao Li saw the clothes, she was thrilled, "Uncle, did you design these new outfits for me?" Qin Xiao nodded, "You liked the cheongsam I designed for you before, but since that cheongsam holds special meaning and you’re reluctant to wear it, I decided to design a few more. Do you like them?" Xiao Li nodded, "I love them." Qin Xiao smiled, "If you like them, then wear them. Don’t just keep them stored away as mementos. Having that one cheongsam is enough for remembrance." Xiao Li nodded again, "Okay, I’ll go try one on now." With that, Xiao Li picked out a yellow long dress to try on. When she came out, Qin Xiao’s eyes lit up at the sight of her. The yellow long dress had a purple bellflower extending from the chest down to the lower part, with some green vine patterns at the hem. The patterns were simple, yet they combined to exude an elegant vibe. The yellow fabric on Xiao Li made her skin look even fairer; in the dress, she emanated a gentle and serene aura. Seeing this side of Xiao Li, Qin Xiao regretted not thinking earlier to design more clothes for her, missing out on years of visual delight. Xiao Li twirled in front of Qin Xiao, "Uncle, do I look good?" Qin Xiao extended a hand to grasp one of Xiao Li’s hands and gently pulled her into his arms, wrapping his other hand around her waist, "Where did this little fairy come from?" Xiao Li laughed happily at his words. Their atmosphere was perfect, but then a phone rang, quite inappropriately... The ringtone was from Qin Xiao’s work phone, which only rang when something was up and needed answering. Reluctantly, Qin Xiao released Xiao Li, walked to the table, and picked up the phone. After the call, Qin Xiao came over, "There’s a situation at the World Testing Laboratory that needs my attention." Xiao Li nodded, "Then you should go ahead. I’ll take Little Li to stay with Mom for a while." Qin Xiao said, "Let’s go together then." They headed downstairs together, took Little Li, and drove off. When they arrived at Qin’s mother’s villa, Xiao Li and Little Li got out of the car. Qin Xiao helped Xiao Li to the door, and only after she entered the villa did he drive away. Nowadays, Qin Xiao spends most of his time at home keeping Xiao Li company. During this pregnancy, Qin Xiao is committed to staying by Xiao Li’s side, taking care of her no matter what. However, should anything come up at the laboratory or on the dark web that can’t be handled without him, he’ll still return to deal with it. Xiao Li entered the villa with Little Li and unexpectedly saw He Jie there. It wasn’t the weekend, so He Jie wasn’t at work and had come over, indicating there was something going on. Xiao Li softly greeted, "Mom, sister-in-law." Qin’s mother noticed Xiao Li and warmly said, "Xiao Li is here, come sit down!" Xiao Li obediently sat down. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novèlfire.net Little Li, holding Xiao Li’s hand, sweetly greeted, "Grandma, Auntie." Qin’s mother pulled Little Li over, gave him a hug, and then Little Li ran off to play nearby. Xiao Li looked at He Jie, "Sister-in-law, don’t you have work today?" He Jie shook her head, "The colleagues at the studio have all grown up, so I don’t have to be there watching over them every day like before. Every now and then, I can sneak in a bit of laziness." Hearing this, Xiao Li admired He Jie. He Jie is a career woman, having never relaxed her hold on her career before or after marriage. In this regard, Xiao Li feels she cannot compare. She’s only studied medicine and, although she desires to achieve something in the medical field, she hasn’t completely grown into it over these years. In medicine, achieving results takes perseverance! The servant brought Xiao Li some tea and snacks. Xiao Li picked up a small pastry and ate it; her appetite was good during this pregnancy. He Jie, seeing Xiao Li’s good appetite, playfully remarked, "Xiao Li, you seem to be having a smoother time with this pregnancy, no morning sickness." Xiao Li nodded, "Yeah, this time it’s not like when I was pregnant with Little Li, with all the morning sickness. I haven’t thrown up even once so far. But I do have odd cravings, always wanting something sour and spicy. And I get hungry easily, often wanting to eat in the middle of the night, waking up Ah Xiao to prepare food, and I do feel a bit embarrassed about it." He Jie chuckled and shook her head, "What’s there to be embarrassed about? We women already endure so much during pregnancy, and they can’t substitute us for it, so shouldn’t they take care of us instead? It’s good that you’re not experiencing morning sickness this time, so you can eat more. This time you’re carrying twins, which will be more exhausting. If the babies are restless, you won’t be able to handle it, so it’s good that you can eat well." Qin’s mother agreed, "Your sister-in-law is right. Pregnancy is hard for you, and Ah Xiao taking care of you is what should be done!" After speaking to Xiao Li, Qin’s mother turned to He Jie and asked, "Xiao Jie, are you planning to give Ah Tan a chance to take care of you too?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Li also looked at He Jie. He Jie smiled but responded with a question instead, "Mom, do you want me to give Ah Tan a chance?" Qin’s mother waved her hand, "I don’t have any opinions about this matter; it’s entirely up to you. If you wish to have another child, then have one more. The more people, the merrier the family becomes. If you don’t want to have any more, then don’t. After all, you and Ah Tan already have Little Shi and his brother." He Jie smiled at her words, "Ah Tan wants a daughter, and honestly, I do too. But the decision on whether to have a boy or girl isn’t ours to make; I’m afraid it’ll be another boy if we try again."
