Chapter 242 - Shopping Baby’s Goods

When they returned to the Greenville Residence and the moment they stepped into the house, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but turn around and hug Xian Zihao's neck tightly. She raised her head to kiss his smiling lips. Xian Zihao stood in place and hugged her lightly. "I apologize for my father's behavior towards you."

Jiang Ruolan shook her head, she was very happy right now. Her arms wrapped tightly around Xian Zihao's neck, but she was careful since she didn't want his wound to reopen again. Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao joyfully. "It doesn't matter, I know dad's character. Even though his words are cruel but he is not evil. I won't be that sentimental! Now the happiest thing is... Zihao, you're going to be a father!"

"Yes, you're going to be a mother too." Xian Zihao gently touched Jiang Ruolan's nose and his eyes filled with love." I have bought traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by a doctor. It will be delivered around 7 pm. Remember to drink more hot water and wear more clothes. You can't catch a cold."

Jiang Ruolan remained by Xian Zihao's side, leaning on him. The joy in her eyes cannot be hidden. She had been muddle-headed and nervous when they were at the hospital, but now, she was completely relaxed and wanted to express her happiness.

She had Xian Zihao's child, and in a few months, they would have a cute little baby.

"Zihao, what are you thinking about right now?" Jiang Ruolan held on to him, talking nonstop. There was a slight smile on Xian Zihao's face as he said, "What kind of name do you want to give the child?"

"You don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, yet you already want to choose a name?" Jiang Ruolan laughed. "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, I don't care. I like both." Xian Zihao kissed her on the tip of her nose. "Look at you, your mouth can't even close. If it was a daughter, she would look just like you. She must be a cheerful little girl."

"Then if he was a boy, he would definitely be like you. He is very handsome and has an extraordinary temperament like you. I estimate that before he was five years old, a large number of strange aunties would fall in love with him." Jiang Ruolan laughed mischievously, her mind continually imagining the baby in her stomach. Even the image of the baby slowly growing up kept spinning in her head.

"Idiot." Xian Zihao gently pushed her away and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Your first problem right now is to take care of your body. The medicine is too painful. The doctor said you need to drink it for at least three months."

"It doesn't matter. No matter how bitter it is, I can still drink it!" Jiang Ruolan smiled without the slightest shyness and placed her hand on her flat belly. Her eyes were filled with anticipation for her child.

Xian Zihao smiled and patted her head.

Zhan An really did find a midwife for Jiang Ruolan. In the afternoon, Sister Yanmei arrived with her. After traditional Chinese medicine was delivered, Sister Yanmei immediately brewed it in the kitchen.

Jiang Ruolan came out of the bedroom, thinking whether the bandage on Xian Zihao's shoulder should be changed or not. She heard from the doctor that although he didn't have any major injuries, it was still a very serious flesh injury. Furthermore, Xian Zihao insisted on not wanting to stay in the hospital. In this way, he can take advantage of the sick leave he rarely takes to accompany Jiang Ruolan at home.

When Jiang Ruolan walked out of the bedroom, she saw Xian Zihao, who was wearing a white tee, sitting on the couch in the living room and reading a book. She walked over quietly and stuck her head out from behind the couch.

Jiang Ruolan looked down at the book in his hands. "Dear husband, why are you reading such a thick book seriously?"

Xian Zihao turned to look at her and said with a smile in his eyes. "This is my first time being a father, so of course I have to read it carefully, as not to miss anything." As he spoke, he took Jiang Ruolan's hand and led her to the couch to sit next to him.

Jiang Ruolan sat down and looked at the book in Xian Zihao's hands.

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"No, I told the doctor about all the conditions during the day, and the doctor said that they were normal pregnancy reactions, only some of them were serious, and some of them weren't serious. Originally, my pregnancy reaction wasn't particularly obvious, and it was because of fetal qi, I was vomiting so much, but now much better."

"That's good. If you feel any discomfort, you have to tell me."

"Understood, husband ~"

At night, while Jiang Ruolan was taking medicine, Zhan An came up with many freshly bought supplements to calm the pregnancy. She also managed to say that tomorrow she will go shopping with Jiang Ruolan to buy some baby goods.

Not only that, she also told Xian Zihao to prepare the nursery room. Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao looked at each other with smiles and shook their head at their mother's behavior.

*****

The next morning, Jiang Ruolan had to drink another medicine given by Sister Yanmei and eat two large bowls of nutritious porridge under Zhan An's supervision. After she finished, they both left the house to go shopping.

The two of them first went to the shopping mall near Beidou Avenue and then went to the special baby area. When Jiang Ruolan saw the various colorful little toys, clothes, the baby carriage, and all kinds of baby items, she was immediately dazzled. She really wanted to buy everything, but since this was her first time being a mother, she didn't know the most important thing for a baby.

Fortunately, Zhan An was there with her. She continued to guide her on what to use, what to look for when the child was born and the supplies Jiang Ruolan needed to use when the baby was 1 or 2 years old.

"Ruolan, there's something mom wanted to ask you." While they were having lunch nearby, Zhan An suddenly asked something and looked at Jiang Ruolan directly. "Guiying was staying at your place when she came home this time. Did you notice anything different about her"

"Different how?" Jiang Ruolan looked up. She understood the meaning behind Zhan An's words.

Guiying was her daughter after all, so how could she possibly not notice anything amiss?

However, Jiang Ruolan wasn't sure if she should say anything, so she could only play dumb. "Mom, Guiying and I actually haven't seen each other much. Although we have a good relationship, I could not see the difference in her."

Zhan An nodded and didn't say anything else, but there seemed to be something in her mind.

"Mom, is something wrong?" Jiang Ruolan asked cautiously.

"Nothing, if it weren't for you being pregnant, I might not have known about my daughter's personality" Zhan An sighed softly, "This child, when she came home this time, she began to avoid eating cold foods during mealtimes. There were a lot of foods she loved to eat, but she didn't even touch them. I thought she had mysteriously changed her personality, but as soon as you become pregnant, I suddenly thought… Maybe I was just thinking too much, maybe it was just a coincidence."

Hearing her words, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but feel a little scared, but she also felt sorry for Xian Guiying. She had just gotten pregnant and was instantly pampered by everyone, meanwhile, Xian Guiying had to endure all of this by herself.

"Oh yes, Xian Residence will send a driver tonight. The Old Man wanted to see you." Suddenly, Zhan An said, "Zihao is injured, so he can't drive. Let the driver drive both of you."

Jiang Ruolan nodded, "Mom, Guiying isn't a child after all, so you don't have to worry about her.

"Sigh, how could I not be worried? Actually, the Old Man felt too much love for Cui Liuxian because her grandfather sacrificed himself to save him. The Old Man felt sorry for the Cui Family, so he did not want Cui Liuxian to suffer any grievances. Guiying, herself, understood the Old Man's heart, but he was too biased." Zhan An sighed.

"Guiying isn't like you, I know Zhan Lian's personality. You must have suffered too much at Jiang Family when you were young and you didn't have a choice other than to endure it. But Guiying...She has the temper of a young miss. She's already twenty-six years old, and she doesn't even want to talk about marriage."

"That's because she's magnanimous, and talking about marriage… Isn't that a matter of fate? When the time comes, Guiying will definitely get married." Jiang Ruolan smiled broadly.

"You are so optimistic." Zhan An chuckled.

They finally returned to Greenville Residence in the afternoon and when Jiang Ruolan stepped out of the car, she immediately saw Jiang Yijun standing outside the house.
