Chapter 797: Chapter 800 Someone at the door brought something
In the past few days, Li Fugui had not gone to Lin County as planned but stayed in Shanshi County instead. He wanted to see what the new owner would do to Dongfeng Restaurant. Surprisingly, after the purchase, apart from taking down the signboard, there were no other actions.
In these days, Yuelai Restaurant was also actively undergoing renovations, striving to open for business as soon as possible.
Chu Mansion
"Husband," Wang Xiangxiang spoke with a pleading tone.
Chu Lian asked with a smile, "My lady, what’s the matter?"
Wang Xiangxiang pursed her lips, "Hehe, can I play on the swing now?"
"..." Chu Lian was speechless. His wife was about to become a mother, yet she was still like a little child. However, he liked her genuine nature, straightforward and doing whatever she liked.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he said indulgently, "Come on, let your husband take you there."
Indeed, upon seeing Chu Lian’s consent, Wang Xiangxiang smiled happily, "Okay."
Thus, hand in hand, the two of them went to the courtyard. Chu Lian even considerately brought a cushion from the house and placed it on the swing seat, "There, sit down, and I’ll give you a push."
Wang Xiangxiang nodded, holding the swing’s ropes as she sat down, and said excitedly, "Ready."
"Hold on tight, I’m going to start pushing," Chu Lian cautioned.
"Okay, I’m ready. Go ahead."
Chu Lian began to swing the swing. Since Wang Xiangxiang was pregnant, his pushes weren’t vigorous, but rather very gentle.
"Husband, can you push a bit higher?" Wang Xiangxiang felt the swing barely moved and thus spoke up again.
"My lady, you’re pregnant now; you need to be careful. That’s why we can’t swing too hard."
"..." Wang Xiangxiang was speechless. Of course, she knew she was pregnant, but wasn’t this barely moving at all?
"Husband, just a little more, just a tiny bit more."
Seeing Wang Xiangxiang’s begging look, Chu Lian agreed and gave the swing a slightly harder push, but just a tiny bit.
"Husband, nobody swings like this. It’s practically not moving at all! Besides, you’re right here next to me, I really won’t fall."
Chu Lian looked at the swing and then at Wang Xiangxiang. It seemed he was indeed too nervous. A little more swinging shouldn’t be a problem. So, he agreed, "Alright, but only for a little while."
"Alright."
Indeed, this time the swing moved normally, and Wang Xiangxiang played happily. Seeing her so joyful, Chu Lian also felt happy. Laughs from the two of them echoed in the courtyard from time to time.
After a moment, Chu Lian asked with concern, "My lady, do you feel dizzy?"
"Not at all. It’s not that high," Wang Xiangxiang said, and although Chu Lian had agreed, he didn’t swing her very high.
"My lady, let me help you down. You’ve been on there too long," Chu Lian suggested worriedly.
"Alright." Wang Xiangxiang knew Chu Lian was concerned about her and the child, so she agreed.
As Chu Lian helped Wang Xiangxiang off the swing, a house servant rushed over, holding something in his hand, "Young master, young madam."
"What is it?"
The house servant replied, "Young master, someone at the door delivered something, saying it was for the young master."
The servant handed the item to Chu Lian; he took it leisurely and opened it to find his eyes widening suddenly. He urgently asked, "Where is he?"
"Young master, he left after delivering the item."
Chu Lian’s brow furrowed, and he ordered, "Get Acheng to find Li Fugui."
