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

Jinzhi shook her head. "Everything is fine."

"Then why...?"

Ye Yu stepped forward to explain: "There's no reason, it's not your fault, you're just spoiled at home."

Jinzhi had a good appetite in the early stages of her pregnancy, but became very picky in the later stages, refusing to eat many dishes prepared by five-star chefs and private chefs in large hotels.

I won't eat if the presentation is unappealing, if the colors are pleasing to the eye, if certain dishes contain chives or minced garlic, if they are too soft, too hard, or too vegetarian or too meaty.

Later, even when Ye Yu cooked, he wasn't particularly accommodating; he wouldn't eat many of the dishes, saying he was just tired of them.

Ye Yu could only learn to cook new dishes, which had to taste good and look nice on the plate.

He knew what she liked to eat—nothing more than unhealthy, heavily flavored snacks or street food—but he didn't want her to eat too much.

I only cook for her every few days.

Chef: "?"

"You can go now. Please have someone send some fresh ingredients to our small kitchen on this floor."

After he left, he said, "I'll cook you some new Cantonese dishes that I learned."

She often supports his new dishes and eats a lot of them.

"Ye Yu, you're so kind~"

Aside from needing Ye Yu to cook, having him around and chatting occasionally keeps Jinzhi from getting bored.

Wen Manchun suggested that Ye Yu take another period of maternity leave so that he could focus on spending time with Jinzhi.

For the first two weeks of her stay at the postpartum care center, Jinzhi's main task was to eat, nourish her body, and bond with her baby.

Later, when I felt better, I spent my time either doing rehabilitation exercises, going to the beauty center at the postpartum care center for spa treatments, checking stocks, or shopping.

When Zhou Yinche and the others came to visit her, they would even set up a table to play mahjong, and she was living a very happy life.

Zhou Yinche was drooling with envy.

"I'm even thinking about getting pregnant and having a baby so I can take a whole year off."

Jinzhi scoffed at him, "You stop babbling when it hurts."

While she played mahjong, Ye Yu would hold Rui Rui or Zhao Zhao and watch over her, urging her to take a break.

That morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the two children were asleep again. Ye Yu pushed Jinzhi to the inner glass greenhouse to bask in the sun.

Her incision hadn't healed yet, and Ye Yu was afraid she would aggravate it by being careless, so he pushed her out in a wheelchair.

Inside the temperature-controlled glass greenhouse, hats and scarves were worn tightly around everyone.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, warm sunlight streamed into the greenhouse, casting dappled light on the golden branches and onto her outstretched palms.

Looking at Ye Yu beside him, the weather was still cold at the end of February. He was going to attend a video conference that afternoon, so he was dressed quite formally, wearing a black overcoat over a shirt and vest.

He sat there remotely working on his tablet, his features clear and refined, exuding composure and dignity.

She was completely different from the aloof, academically gifted girl in white T-shirt and black pants I first met.

Jinzhi looked at him for a while, then said softly, "Ye Yu, do you know what dream I had the day I gave birth?"

"What?" Ye Yu asked her, but she didn't answer.

She didn't answer, but instead asked, "Have you been having strange dreams lately?"

Ye Yu turned off the tablet. "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Jinzhi asked in confusion, "What aspect? You mean strange dreams, the kind that you find odd, like dreaming about me or people around you."

Yes, but that's not surprising.

Jin Zhixin paused for a moment, put down the warm banana in her hand, and clapped her hands.

"What exactly is the content?"

"Come closer and I'll tell you."

Jinzhi was on high alert, and leaned her head closer.

Ye Yu raised his hand and pulled the person onto his lap.

"Content that needs to be censored."

Jinzhi hadn't quite reacted by then, and her heart sank for a moment.

"Very gory content? You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

In the dream, Ye Yu jumped into the sea at the end. What happened before he jumped?

What did he do, and why did he jump into the sea for no reason?

Did something bad happen?

Ye Yu glanced at her helplessly and gently nibbled on her earlobe.

"Is it possible that it's related to content that you can't broadcast?"

A tingling, numb sensation made Jinzhi's waist go limp for a moment.

She realized what was happening and gently punched him.

"Why are you acting strangely again? You were quite well-behaved the past two months, and didn't I just... help you a few days ago?"

Ye Yu has abstained from sex for three or four months, from the late stages of her pregnancy until now.

Just a few days ago, Jinzhi noticed that he had been in the bathroom for over an hour and hadn't come out, so she barged in and helped him.

Ye Yu leaned against her soft, milky-scented embrace, taking a few deep breaths of the fragrance. "It's only human nature."

Jinzhi generously said, "I'll lend you my pajamas tonight."

"Thank you for your generosity, Miss."

"Let's get down to business. Have you been having any strange or bizarre dreams lately, like me dying, or you dying?"

Ye Yuping's usually calm expression darkened slightly as he looked directly at her.

"Did you have another bad dream on the day you gave birth, which is why you cried so hard?"

"What did you dream about? Tell me about it."

They've already had a child, so there's nothing between them that they can't talk about anymore.

"It's what I said before, I dreamt that I miscarried and died, and you were with someone else. But on the day I gave birth, I dreamt that you scattered my ashes into the sea, and then you died too."

"I feel there's something illogical about this. In the dream, you should have hated me, and later you got together with someone else, so you should have been living a good life. Why did you die in the end too?"

She's been thinking about this a lot lately.

If the events in the dream were real, and Ye Yu committed suicide by jumping into the sea, then it would mean that the Ye Yu in the story might also have liked her.

Other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Something earth-shattering happened during that blurry period in the dream, something so terrible that Ye Yu despaired and lost the will to live.

Ye Yu said firmly, "There's nothing illogical about it. I've said it before, even if you die, I won't live on. In my dreams, I might hate you, but I might love you even more. Love and hate aren't contradictory."

"If you died in my dream, I couldn't be with anyone else; I would only commit suicide for love."

They died for love.

Jinzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Does she deserve Ye Yu's help?

In the original storyline, she did many bad things to Ye Yu.

Forcing him into marriage by sleeping with him is a minor issue; the more serious problem is that she mistreats the whole family after marriage, goes out to fool around every day, and beats and scolds him when she is extremely unhappy with him.

Ultimately, she was framed by Qin Nanjia and miscarried in the chaotic environment of the club.

She's so vicious and blind; Ye Yu should hate her to death.

How could he possibly die for her?

Jinzhi felt as if something was stuck in her chest, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

He asked, "Was it because of these strange dreams that you didn't want to be with me before? Did you think we wouldn't have a good ending?"

"Now is the best proof: we're together, and the baby was born safely."

He pulled her into his arms.

"In the end of the dream, you died, and I died too. In your dream, we were together."

"And it was just a dream. It must be because you've been staying indoors for too long and haven't been going out. You need to take good care of yourself during your postpartum period, otherwise you'll develop health problems later. Just hang in there for a few more days, and Rui Rui and Zhao Zhao will be able to go out for their full moon celebration."

Jinzhi buried her face in his chest.

"Ye Yu, I'm sorry."

"You haven't done anything wrong to me. Light some calming incense before bed tonight, and don't believe those strange dreams."

"If you can't stop your mind from wandering, just think that the only person Ye Yu loves is you."

"Jinzhi, you are the best. I love you because you have many attractive qualities. You deserve to be loved."
