Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

Yang Jiamei: "Your sister doesn't really like it, so you can eat it. Your sister can just eat the cake. Some people are like that; they don't like durian, but they can accept durian cake."

"Okay, let's go out for lunch then. I'll treat my sister to a big meal."

Ye Yu tapped him on the head. "You have money?"

"I have it! I have a scholarship, and my sister gave me pocket money before. I can afford to treat myself to several meals, let alone one big meal!"

Jinzhi: "Okay, I want to eat hot pot, are you going to treat me?"

For a while, she ate nutritious meals delivered by the Jin family every day at school, and also ate local mountain delicacies at the resort. Her mouth always felt tasteless and her appetite was not satisfied. She even wondered if this was what aroused her desires in other areas.

"Please! Everyone's not leaving until they've had a full lunch!"

The group headed to the commercial street near the residential area, where the shops were located.

The weather in September wasn't hot; the sun was still out. Ye Yu walked beside Jin Zhi, holding a parasol.

She said she'd take a walk around first, then go eat.

"Ye Yu, do you think it's worthwhile to open a dessert shop on this street?"

She outlined her long-term plans, asking, "If the brand develops and meets the required qualifications in the future, what are the chances of it opening a store in Wan Hui Shopping Plaza?"

"I spent two weeks in the company's marketing department, so I don't know much about it. Putting aside other shopping malls, Wan Hui has very high requirements for the merchants who move in. Dessert shops have fewer restrictions compared to other food and beverage shops, and they have the potential for long-term development."

"No matter what kind of shop you and Mom want to open, as long as you have sufficient initial investment, high operational efficiency, and accurately capture customer traffic, you won't be disappointed with the later returns. As long as you want to do it, the family will support you. But one thing, don't work too hard."

Jinzhi went to the nearest cake shop.

"Don't worry, I won't overwork myself. The shop is for Mom, I'm just giving her some suggestions."

Whatever we do in the future, we'll wait until the child is born.

She won't make things difficult for herself; she'll focus on her career while pregnant during the most challenging months ahead.

Doing the right thing at the right stage requires having sufficient energy and resources to invest in it.

Jinzhi looked around the store, took pictures of the price list and the environment, bought two finished cakes, and then met up with Yang Jiamei and Ye Ran with Ye Yu.

Give the collected information to Yang Jiamei.

After having hot pot, the group headed to the mall. Ye Ran had grown quite a bit taller recently, and his sharp facial features were becoming more defined. They bought him a few outfits and then headed home.

In the evening, Yang Jiamei made a cooling loofah and mushroom soup and fried rice. After dinner, Jinzhi chatted with Yang Jiamei for a while about opening a shop, offered some suggestions, and then went back to her room to wash up and rest.

After lying down on the bed and taking a shower, Ye Yu came out of the bathroom, went out for a while, and came back with a storybook in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Yu lay down next to her, opened the storybook, and gently touched her swollen belly with his large hand.

"It's been four months. It's a bit late to start prenatal education now. I'll be able to feel the baby move soon."

His steady voice carried a hint of doubt, "Parenting books say that twins should be more noticeable. Although it's a posterior placenta, it looks smaller than a typical singleton pregnancy. I'll ask the doctor about it another day."

After our intimate encounter at the resort that night, I touched her belly and we got to know each other better.

"Don't be too nervous. The doctor said they are very healthy. It's easier to deliver when the baby is smaller. They are part of me, and I will let you know if I feel uncomfortable."

Jinzhi moved his hot palm away. For the past two nights, she had been feeling a burning sensation in her stomach while sleeping. She consulted a doctor online, who said it was a normal phenomenon.

Every time he was intimate with her, he was overly nervous and always protected her belly. But that night at the resort, he was probably stimulated and let loose once.

"Okay, I'll ask the doctor about it at the next prenatal checkup. I'll tell the baby stories, and you can go to sleep when you're sleepy."

Jinzhi didn't want to listen to any of those idiotic stories. What was so fun about cell phones compared to those idiotic stories?

Until she heard Ye Yu's gentle and pleasant clear voice, the cool tone softened and slowed down, shedding its usual coldness and hardness, adding a touch of low and magnetic softness, the end of the tone was slightly drawn out, when she spoke in a gentle voice, it felt as if her eardrums were being gently wrapped, which was particularly comforting.

He had assumed the stories were all in Chinese, but after reading a short passage, he started reading in English.

"Once upon a time, in a small, quite village, there lived..."

He read a short passage, then stopped, a little embarrassed. "My pronunciation isn't very standard. Will it mislead the baby?"

Although he attended the best public high school, the school had a common problem in order to improve students' grades: it only focused on listening and written test scores and rarely trained students' oral communication skills.

Compared to other students who had attended tutoring classes or participated in summer and winter camps abroad, Ye Yu's spoken English was not particularly standard.

Jinzhi rested her head on his shoulder. "No, it's perfect. Not only the baby, but I also enjoy listening to it. You read it. We can go abroad to play sometime in the future."

Ye Yu has a clear understanding of her own abilities, and her words had an element of reassurance, which warmed my heart.

"Um."

After reading for less than half an hour, the person who usually stays up late fell asleep before 10 p.m. for the first time ever.

It seems that prenatal education is not entirely useless.

Ye Yu held her and closed his eyes.

I woke up in the middle of the night and instinctively reached out to touch the person next to me. There was no one there, and the blankets were still warm.

His muddled eyes cleared instantly. He got out of bed to look for someone, but found no one in the bathroom or on the balcony. He tiptoed into the living room.

Through a glass door, a woman in a pale yellow silk nightgown sat on a small stool in front of the refrigerator, puffing out her cheeks as she secretly bit into a durian cake.

Ye Yu smoothed out his furrowed brows, grabbed his car keys, and headed out into the night. When he returned, he had a box of durians he had bought from an imported supermarket.

I gently knocked on the kitchen glass door and held up the durian in my hand.

"Want to try again? The one Xiao Ran ate today wasn't good quality, you probably don't like it."

He didn't miss the hint of curiosity that flashed in Ye Ran's eyes when he invited her to eat durian again during the day, and he also knew that she cared about her image.

Having said all that, he changed out of his pajamas, and with his car keys still in hand, Jinzhi understood everything. She wiped the cake stains from her lips and raised her chin.

"I'm hungry. There's not much food in the fridge. It's not that I want to eat, it's that the baby in my belly wants to eat. Since you went out to buy it for me in the middle of the night, I'll reluctantly have a bite."

Ye Yu smiled, helped her put on her gloves, and handed her the largest piece.

"There are two babies in my belly, so eat more for them. If they still can't get used to it, leave it for Ye Ran."

Jinzhi pinched her nose and tentatively took a small bite, but couldn't taste much of it, so she took another bite.

Sweet, soft, and sticky.

"Why does it taste different from what I ate when I was a kid? It must be the scraps that Lao Jin used to give me when I was a kid."

"What?"

Jinzhi explained why she didn't eat durian before, and handed a piece to Ye Yu.

"Old Jin must have deliberately tricked me to see me make a fool of myself."

"I'm not hungry, you eat. People change, maybe pregnancy really has affected your taste."

Jinzhi smiled and agreed, "It must be."

The next morning, Ye Yu got up first and prepared breakfast for Yang Jiamei. Jinzhi, after changing her clothes, slowly came out of the bedroom, found Ye Yu hanging clothes on the balcony, and circled around in front of him.

"Do you see anything different about me today?"

A silk dress paired with lambskin shoes, and a striking light blue butterfly necklace around the neck.

It was a birthday gift he gave her.

Jinzhi looked at him expectantly, not missing a single change in his expression.
