"And this, this, and this are all supplements I bought for you. Remember to ask Aunt Wu to make them for you."

Lu Yuting glanced sideways at the gifts that almost filled the entire dining table, and said lukewarmly:

"Aunt Wu, ask someone to put all these things away. Although we have prepared these things, we cannot let down Miss Xia's kindness."

He deliberately emphasized the words "a good intention", so as not to make his intended meaning too obvious.

Xia Ruirui secretly curled her lips.

Cheapskate!

Isn't it just a joke with him, saying that he has treated his sister-in-law badly, why should he be so vindictive?

"Oh, yes, and the most important one..."

Xia Ruirui took the giant pillow from the bodyguard and put it on the chair.

"This is a pregnancy pillow. I heard that using this pillow during the third trimester of pregnancy can relieve a certain amount of pain while sleeping."

Ning Yuxi stepped forward and looked at it carefully, with a look of fondness in her eyes.

"You are in my heart. When my belly gets bigger, I am planning to buy one and try it."

Although her belly does not look like it is seven months old, it is inevitable that she will still feel uncomfortable when sleeping at night.

She did some research online and learned that a pregnancy pillow can effectively relieve the pain of sleeping at night.

She was thinking about going out to pick one one day, but she didn't expect that Xia Ruirui happened to give it to her as a gift.

Xia Ruirui raised her chin proudly.

"That's right, you don't even know who I am! I've done all my homework!"

After saying that, he did not forget to cast a look at Lu Yuting, as if to say, "Look at how considerate I am, and then look at you."

Lu Yuting simply ignored her gaze, as if he was too lazy to argue with her.

Ning Yuxi on the side was so amused that she couldn't help laughing. She looked at the man next to her, then at Xia Ruirui, and spoke to break the weird atmosphere between the two people.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"You've eaten, haven't you eaten yet? Then eat quickly and leave me alone! Let's go shopping after eating."

Lu Yuting opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Ruirui.

"Brother Lu, you are not allowed to object today. Pregnant women should always keep a happy mood. If you keep your sister-in-law at home every day, she will easily develop prenatal depression over time. You are not protecting her, you are harming her!"

"Rui Rui..."

Ning Yuxi was about to explain to Lu Yuting, but Xia Ruirui interrupted her again with a serious look.

"Sister-in-law, you are not allowed to protect him! I have heard from Qiao Zhiqin that in order to protect you and the child, he will not let you go out. This is not pregnancy, this is obviously imprisonment!"

Lu Yuting lowered his eyes and glanced at the little woman next to him, and saw her lowering her head in guilt, and secretly pinched her waist.

Feeling the woman in his arms shrink back, a smile flashed in her eyes, then she raised her head and glanced sideways at Xia Ruirui.

"Did I say not to let Xi'er go out?"

Xia Ruirui secretly winked at Ning Yuxi, then put her hands on her hips and glared at Lu Yuting.

"Hmph! You're quite sensible!"

After breakfast, Ning Yuxi went upstairs to change clothes.

When she walked into the cloakroom, she was blocked in the corner by Lu Yuting who was following behind her.

"Say bad things about me to Qiao Zhiqin, eh?"

Qiao Zhiqin shrank her neck guiltily, her voice tinged with tenderness.

"I...No, I just complained casually. You did go too far some time ago."

Lu Yuting's heart melted when he heard her aggrieved and tender voice. He leaned over and kissed her red lips, and the words flowed out intermittently from her lips and teeth.

"The more you raise, the more delicate you become."

Ning Yuxi raised the corners of her mouth, wrapped her arms around the man's neck, and actively responded to his kiss.

After a while, Lu Yuting walked to the closet with Ning Yuxi in his arms and chose a loose goose-yellow dress for her.

"Should I arrange for someone to follow you, or should I personally protect you in the dark?"

Ning Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly, chuckled and teased:

"Mr. Lu, who is making great changes in the shopping mall, wants to be my bodyguard? I can't afford it."

"You work hard, the gold-eating beast will be born soon, and it's still waiting for you to raise it."

Lu Yuting raised his hand and placed it on her bulging belly, stroking it gently.

"Then I will send the people around me to you, and let them obey Ali and Ah Shui's arrangements."

"Um."

…

Leaving the villa, Xia Ruirui took Ning Yuxi to the mall.

Standing on the spacious first floor of the shopping mall, Xia Ruirui glanced behind her as if to guard against thieves.

After making sure that Lu Yuting was not following them, he took a deep breath of freedom.

"Aren't you happy that you can finally go out and take a breath?"

"Well, I'm very happy."

Ning Yuxi smiled and nodded in response, then continued:

"But I still have to explain to Lu Yuting that he didn't control me all day long and didn't let me go out."

"You still say good things for him! Sister-in-law, men must not be spoiled! You have to stand up!

In the past, when you said something right, Brother Lu didn't dare to say something wrong. Why, after getting pregnant, was he suppressed by Brother Lu?"

Seeing that she felt aggrieved on her behalf, Ning Yuxi smiled helplessly.

"He was indeed a little nervous some time ago and did not dare to let me go out for fear that I would be in danger. Now he is much better after treatment by Dr. Zhu.

Now he goes out with me every day, and he won’t object if my mother takes me out for afternoon tea occasionally.”

Xia Ruirui looked stunned.

"Treatment? You mean he doesn't let you go out because of your illness?"

"Well, prenatal anxiety."

"Ah? Men can also have prenatal anxiety." Xia Ruirui was surprised.

Ning Yuxi nodded seriously.

Lu Yuting was indeed very strict with her some time ago, not letting her go anywhere or doing anything.

Whenever she does something, he becomes very nervous and anxious.

She vaguely felt something was wrong and told Zhu Yilin about his situation.

He said that maybe it was because Lu Yuting knew how hard she worked to keep the child alive during the time he was missing, so she was left traumatized, and that's why she was cautious about her and the child.

He was afraid that his momentary negligence would lead to irreparable mistakes, so he became extreme in his actions.

During that time, she did complain about being locked up for a long time, so she casually complained to Qiao Zhiqin.

Later, after listening to Zhu Yilin's analysis, she no longer had any complaints against Lu Yuting.

She found things to do by herself when she couldn't go out.

Flower arranging, painting, reading, watching movies, whatever is the best thing for her to do to pass the time.

Occasionally when she really wanted to go out, she would ask Lu Yuting to take her there. If he didn't want to, he would attack her with tears.

Anyway, her acting skills are so good that it’s easy to cry within ten seconds.

It was quite interesting to see him helpless because of his tears.

Later, it was his mother who knew that he didn't let her go out often and scolded him, which made him realize that there was something wrong with his emotions and took the initiative to find Zhu Yilin.

Just because he was worried that his anxiety would affect her.

So later she made an agreement with Lu Yuting to accompany her for a walk in the park every day.

This way, she won't get bored and want to go out, and he won't worry about her safety anymore.

Xia Ruirui clicked her tongue, she was so shocked that she still didn't come back to her senses.

"Okay, seeing as Brother Lu has changed his ways, I will forgive him for you."
