Chapter 61: Living Like A Queen

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

While Xiyan only had herself to count on, in the other city that woman was living like a queen.

Yuwei sat back on the couch, taking a few bites of an apple her mother-in-law peeled and served before throwing it away. Thirty eight weeks into pregnancy, she was due in approximately twenty weeks. The Mos had newly hired two helps home to take better care of her, one of which was her private cook. Moreover they had booked the best maternity matron in the town for her post-pregnancy care.

She was practically a queen reigning the house, having everything, even a glass of water, hand delivered to her. Her mother-in-law even retained a star massager to provide home service when her lower limb got puffy a while before.

“Mother, I’m going to my mom’s for a few days,” she said softly to her mother-in-law who was about to serve her something else, as a notice.

Li obviously didn’t agree.

“Wei, you shouldn’t be hustling around at this point. Tell your mom to come here.”

Yuwei shook her head. She wouldn’t bother if it was not for something important.

“My grandpa is sick, I need to go see him. Besides, I’m due in twenty days, mother. Don’t worry, I’ll take the high speed train and be there in 90 minutes. Nothing’s going to happen.”

Having said that, Yuwei left to get on her way and away from Li’s babbling.

Her parents dwelled in Ningze City, only 500 kilometers away from here. Though not a provincial capital, Ningze boasted a thriving economy, with a population exceeding seven million.

In less than three hours she arrived.

Xiyan sauntered to a forest park in the neighborhood and found herself surrounded by tall giant camphor trees. Sunshine streamed through dense leaves and shed a fretwork of sunlight and shadow on the ground. She sat on a park bench with a pencil nipped between fingers.

She kept sketching on her notepad, and soon a little baby with unidentified sexuality was vividly drawn.

Caressing her stomach, she murmured.

My baby, I wonder if you’re a boy or a girl.

She paused for a moment and then decided to finish the sketch as a girl.

Kids were playing in the park, adorably running around.

“Can you draw me one as well?” A little girl about four, five years old pulled Xiyan’s clothes, her round eyes pinned on the baby in the drawing.

“Sure!”

Xiyan had the girl sit on a bench across from her and soon drew a baby princess.

The little girl cheerfully swirled around the park, showing off her present while singing the new song she just learned.

More children came to her and begged for a drawing. Xiyan generously accepted their requests, sending happy little angels back to their parents with a sketch in their hand.

“Wow, I want to learn how to draw, too.” Some had formed their first hobby.

Xiyan remained seated until the sun was going down. With the extra load it was more consuming for her just to walk, though the doctor said it’s better for her to exercise more than sitting around at home.

Outside of the park she was waiting for the light to switch to green. Because of the pregnancy she became progressively cautious. Jaywalking was definitely not an option.

When it’s finally green, she strolled across the road while still keeping an eye on both directions in case some sloppy driver decided to take their chance. What she didn’t know was that, in a seven-seat, a man caught sight of her.
