Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 308 Waiting for Childbirth at Home

After dinner, Xiaomai chatted with her grandparents for a while. He Lingting took Xiaomai home, and Lu's father and mother also followed them back to the villa. Grandma Jiang still lived in the old house. She felt that she was too old and was afraid to cause trouble to Xiaomai. It was just right for her to have Grandma He's company in the old house.

After returning to the villa halfway up the mountain, Xiaomai arranged a room for her parents and prepared all the necessary supplies. She also reminded them, "Dad, Mom, do you guys see if there's anything missing? I'll ask the servants to prepare it."

Mother Lu took a quick look and said, "Children, everything is complete. You must be tired! Go and have a rest!"

"I want to talk to my mother for a while longer." Xiaomai said coquettishly while holding Sun Meng's arm. It feels so good to have a mother!

"Silly child, we can accompany you for a long time this time. We can't chat any day. You can't stay up late in your body. Go back and rest!"

"OK then!"

Xiaomai reluctantly left the room and returned to her room with the uncle.

After Xiaomai left, Father Lu said, "Meng'er, don't you miss your daughter? She wants to be closer to you, why are you pushing her away?"

"Silly, didn't you see your son-in-law's icy face? There's no need to turn on the air conditioner in this hot summer. He's just like you when you were young. Today, he got upset because he wasn't near his wife."

"I think he is like that usually. This kid has a naturally cold temperament. You think too much." Father Lu said.

"How is that possible? You were like this when you were young." Sun Meng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Besides, we'll be staying longer this time, so it doesn't matter if we stay here for a while. My daughter really can't stay up all night. Okay, stop thinking about it and let's go to bed!"

On the other side, Xiaomai and He Lingting returned to the room. He Lingting still had a cold face. Xiaomai didn't understand why and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the company?"

"No."

"You look constipated, so scary."

"You, I'll go run you a bath." No matter how unhappy He Lingting was, he couldn't bear to quarrel with the little girl, so he just calmed down by himself!

Xiaomai saw that something was wrong, and she wanted to hug He Lingting from behind, but her belly was too big, so she could only grab the back of the uncle's clothes. He Lingting turned around to look at the funny look of the little girl, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his expression softened a lot. He turned around and went behind Xiaomai, and put his arms around Xiaomai.

Xiaomai leaned back, nestled into He Lingting's arms, and said sweetly, "Uncle, if you have something on your mind, you must tell me, otherwise I will be worried and won't be able to sleep."

"Really?"

"Well, ah! It can't be because of me!" Xiaomai suddenly thought that it couldn't be herself! But she really didn't provoke him!

"It's because of me that I can't get close to you today." He Lingting sounded a bit like a shrew.

Xiaomai suddenly realized that the uncle was being ignored by her and was in a bad mood. This was easy to deal with!

Xiaomai turned around, stood on tiptoe, climbed onto He Lingting's neck with her little hands, smacked him on the face, and was about to run away.

"Little rascal, you want to run away after teasing me? No way." He Lingting reached out and grabbed Xiaomai's arm, and pursued her, kissing the little girl until her legs became weak, and finally she was carried into the bathroom...

From the next day, Xiaomai was completely under house arrest. She was extremely unhappy and begged He Lingting, "Uncle, can I work another week?"

He Lingting ignored her, washed up, changed his clothes and walked straight out. Xiaomai followed He Lingting and kept chatting with him.

"Uncle, just let me go with you! I will definitely not wander around, I will just stay in the office with you, okay?"

"I'm bound to go out on business, and then you'll be disobedient again."

"No, I promise, honey. Just think about it, it would be so lonely for you to be alone on the floor. I can go and keep you company, and we can supervise each other. No, that's not right. It's so nice to keep each other company!" Xiaomai tried her best to please.

"No."

"Uncle, you don't love me anymore. You used to miss me every day when you couldn't see me, but now you just don't want to see me."

"No."

"You have it, you have it. Humph, I won't pay attention to you in the future." Xiaomai saw that the soft approach didn't work, so he used the hard approach.

"My dear, your body really can't allow it now. Mom said that you might go out at any time. It's too dangerous for you to go to work." He Lingting touched the little girl's head and persuaded her in a softer tone.

"But it's boring at home!"

"How could that be? Your parents are with you. As long as you don't run out, you can do whatever you want at home. Be good. Your husband is doing this for you and the baby's good."

"Okay then!" Xiaomai said with a sad face.

"What's wrong with Xiaomai? Who made my daughter unhappy so early in the morning?" As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Lu went out, they saw their daughter pouting and looking unhappy.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad! I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little regretful that I can't work with my colleagues from today."

"Silly child, this is only temporary. We can work together again after you are out of confinement. We can discuss jewelry design at home." Mother Lu advised Xiaomai.

"Mom, I understand. I'm just a little depressed for a while, and it will be fine soon. Let's go! Mom and Dad will go downstairs to have breakfast, and after that, you can help me look at the design draft."

"Okay, let's go!"

So Xiaomai began her days of waiting for the birth of her baby at home. Every day, Mother Lu taught her relevant knowledge and key points of jewelry design, and also gave her some suggestions on her manuscripts. Xiaomai really benefited a lot from it.

The mother and daughter also need to prepare the baby's clothes, bedding, changing pad, etc., as well as things for the mother.

At a fixed time every day, Lu's mother would accompany Xiaomai for a walk, do some prenatal exercises, and go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups every week.

Occasionally, He Lingting would call to ask about her. Now, he called again. Xiaomai picked up the phone impatiently, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

"No! I just want to..."

Before He Lingting could finish his words, Xiaomai said, "I'll hang up if you're fine. I'm busy here."

"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing so busy?"

"Mom was just telling me the key points and hung up. Come back and tell me in the evening." Xiaomai said and hung up the phone.

He Lingting was confused when he heard the busy tone on his phone. He was worried that the little girl would be bored at home, but it turned out that she was so busy that she even thought it was a waste of time to make a phone call. It seemed that his position in the little girl's heart was about to change.

Xiaomai had just finished discussing a manuscript with her mother when she suddenly thought of her brother and asked, "Mom, did my brother know that you and Dad came to my place?"

"I don't know! We didn't tell him."

"What if he goes home? You guys aren't home."

"Just come back. You're already an adult, why would you look for us for no reason?" Mother Lu said indifferently.

Xiaomai felt that her brother was raised by a stepmother and was not welcomed at home.

"Mom, why do I hear that you don't like my brother very much?" Xiaomai asked tentatively.

Father Lu came in at that moment and heard Xiaomai's question. He spoke for his wife and said, "What's the point of staying with him? He's still single at over 30 years old. We'll stay with him when he finds a wife."

Oh! So this is why my brother is not popular.
