475: Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years
Jiang Yufei rented a three-bedroom, one-Living Room apartment; she lived in the master bedroom, the Maternity Matron lived in the guest room, and the Nanny was a local who went home after work in the evening.
The group returned to Jiang Yufei's residence. Since Jiang Yufei had already prepared everything for the baby, they quickly settled in.
Only then did Jiang Yufei look at Lin Zifeng and say, "Zifeng, you didn't sleep well last night, and you've been busy all morning. Go to the guest room and rest for a while!"
Lin Zifeng and Zheng Mengmeng both knew that Jiang Yufei was speaking this way because she didn't want to expose their relationship in front of the Nanny and the Maternity Matron.
So Lin Zifeng agreed and walked toward the guest room.
Zheng Mengmeng thought amusedly to herself, Reference to Jiang Yufei is truly cautious. Shen City is so far from Huanan Province, yet she still doesn't want one extra person to know about their relationship. Reference to Jiang Yufei really put a lot of effort into this!
The baby was already asleep in the crib, being looked after by the Maternity Matron, so Zheng Mengmeng said, "Yuxi, you haven't recovered your strength yet, and you are currently in Postpartum Confinement! Hurry up and go lie down in the bedroom!"
Jiang Yufei agreed and, accompanied by Zheng Mengmeng, walked toward the bedroom.
The two arrived at the bedroom. Jiang Yufei lay down on the bed, and Zheng Mengmeng sat beside her, chatting softly.
"Reference to Jiang Yufei, I originally thought your man would be much older than you! I didn't expect him to look even younger than us.
If that's the case, you worked with him for several years, so how did you miss your chance?
If I were in your shoes, I definitely would have made a move earlier back then. I would never let the man I loved slip away and give other women a chance."
Zheng Mengmeng said, feeling a little regretful for Jiang Yufei.
"Zifeng is one year younger than me, so it's normal that he looks a bit younger than us.
The fact that we missed each other—that's fate playing tricks; everything must be destiny!
But I already feel extremely satisfied now. Being able to be with him secretly has already made up for the regrets of our past missed opportunities."
Jiang Yufei said with a calm expression.
Zheng Mengmeng nodded and said, "The man you chose for yourself is absolutely handsome and charismatic. No wonder you fell for him. If he weren't your man, I'd be tempted too.
When is he leaving? Is he staying tonight?"
"He bought the return plane ticket when he came. The flight is tomorrow noon, so he's staying tonight."
Jiang Yufei said with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Yufei's answer, Zheng Mengmeng said understandingly, "Then I'll leave a little earlier, and I'll also let the Nanny get off work early! I'll create more time for you two to be together.
After all, the time you spend alone with him is too short; you should cherish it."
Jiang Yufei did not refuse Zheng Mengmeng's kindness but replied, "Even if you and the Nanny leave, won't the Maternity Matron still be here?
So whether you leave or not, it makes no difference."
"Are you stupid? They say pregnancy brain lasts three years, and it really is true! Even if it's just the two of you left in the house, you just gave birth yesterday—what exactly do you think you can do with him?
The baby has formula, and the Maternity Matron can just look after the baby in the other room. Let him spend more time talking to you!"
Zheng Mengmeng said teasingly.
Hearing what Zheng Mengmeng said, Jiang Yufei nodded shyly.
Zheng Mengmeng chatted with Jiang Yufei for more than half an hour, and seeing that Jiang Yufei was getting sleepy, she said goodbye and left.
Zheng Mengmeng left the master bedroom, went to the room next door to greet the Maternity Matron, looked at the baby, gave a few simple instructions, and then came to the Living Room.
Looking at the Nanny sitting in the Living Room, she said, "Sister Li, you've worked hard these past two days. Yuxi asked me to tell you that you can get off work now! Just come back to work tomorrow."
"Miss Zheng, if I get off work now, what about dinner? Sister Zhang has to look after the baby and won't have time to cook dinner!"
The Nanny said as she stood up.
"Don't worry, Sister Li, isn't Yuxi's friend still here? Just let him make dinner; you can leave with me!"
Only after hearing Zheng Mengmeng say this did the Nanny leave with Zheng Mengmeng.
Lin Zifeng woke up after sleeping for just over an hour. Seeing that the Living Room was empty, he went to the master bedroom door, hesitated slightly, and then gently pushed it open.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jiang Yufei also woke up. The two exchanged smiles. Seeing that Jiang Yufei was the only one in the bedroom, Lin Zifeng walked in and gently closed the door.
"When did Mengmeng leave? The Living Room is empty, and the Nanny is gone too."
Lin Zifeng sat down beside Jiang Yufei and said, sounding a little confused.
"Mengmeng left an hour ago to create more time for us to be alone together, and she even let the Nanny get off work early.
Sister Zhang is in the bedroom next door looking after the baby! That's why you didn't see anyone in the bedroom.
In that case, you'll have to make dinner.
There are all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for dinner."
"Why talk about trouble between you and me? That's unnecessary, isn't it? You gave birth to my son; if anyone's worked hard, it's you."
Lin Zifeng said sincerely.
"Zifeng, come here, can I hug you?" Jiang Yufei said, signaling Lin Zifeng to sit closer.
Lin Zifeng obediently sat closer, leaning against the headboard, and reached out to half-embrace Jiang Yufei as she leaned in.
Jiang Yufei pressed her cheek against Lin Zifeng's chest, wrapped her arms around him, and whispered, "Leaning in your arms again still makes me feel so safe and secure."
"Reference to Jiang Yufei, when do you plan to take the baby back to Chunhua City?"
Lin Zifeng took this opportunity to ask the question that concerned him.
Jiang Yufei considered for a moment before replying, "The earliest would be after a year, or maybe even longer.
Before then, I need to communicate well with my mother and give her some psychological preparation beforehand.
Before I go back, I will find a way to get my mother to visit here once, so she can accept this fact. Only with my mother's help can the baby and I return to Chunhua City.
Moreover, once I return, I won't be able to live with my parents anymore."
Hearing Jiang Yufei's plan, Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "Before I leave, give me a copy of your ID card!
I'll buy an apartment for you and the baby in the city center beforehand, so you'll have a place to settle down when you go back."
"Zifeng, you are already a deputy department level Cadre at such a young age. Others may not know, but I know it wasn't easy for you to reach this point.
You absolutely cannot make financial mistakes because of me and the baby! That's not what I want to see, and it's something I absolutely forbid."
Jiang Yufei said earnestly.
"Don't you know me well? How could I make such a mistake? I currently have nearly 500,000 in savings, part of which is my salary, and the other part I earned from stock trading.
The housing prices in our Chunhua City aren't high. You can fully purchase a three-bedroom, one-Living Room apartment for five or six hundred thousand.
I basically have no personal expenses right now, and Yuxi handles all the household expenses. Keeping the money sitting around is useless, so let these funds be put to good use!"
Lin Zifeng said cheerfully.
Only after hearing what Lin Zifeng said did Jiang Yufei smile and nod.
