"Mom, he definitely can. With his grades, getting into the medical school in Jing City is absolutely no problem." Tang Yue reassured confidently.
Zhang Hualian was comforted by Tang Yue’s confident words and calm demeanor.
"Mom, when Xiao Jun comes over, he can stay in the guest room in the east wing, right across from your room. If the four of them come, two people per bed will fit perfectly." Tang Yue changed the subject, trying to keep the conversation light. She happily said, "Mom, once Xiao Jun finishes his exams, he can come to Jing City, and then our family can be reunited."
"I’ve already cleaned the room thoroughly, just missing some blankets. It’s the hot season right now, so I was thinking of buying a couple more blankets when the time comes, and that’ll be enough." Zhang Hualian mentioned Tang Jun’s plan to come to Jing City, her expression filled with joy.
Due to Tang Yue’s pregnancy, for them to accompany her to Jing City was inherently unfair to Tang Jun. Before, when they asked Tang Zhengde to return, Tang Jun insisted he was grown up and didn’t need anyone to take care of him.
"Xiao Jun likes to eat dumplings. When the time comes, let’s make plenty of dumplings for him, and he’ll be overjoyed." Speaking of dumplings, Zhang Hualian then asked, "By the way, Si Yu seems to have not come back for half a month. Where has he gone?"
"Mom, he’s gone to inspect the branch offices." Tang Yue also felt quite helpless about this. There are too many branches, so he has to run around. Besides, Pinganda is different from Uncle’s garment factory. Uncle only needs to manage the clothes in the factory, handle shipping, and see if the stores need any help, without having to run around constantly.
Meng Si Yu is different. While Pinganda is gradually stabilizing, there are still many things awaiting Meng Si Yu’s attention.
"Sigh."
Zhang Hualian sighed, looking at her daughter with such a big belly. Naturally, as a mother, she felt a pang of heartache. She said, "Xiao Yue, if he’s often not at home in the future..."
"Mom, even when he’s not home, I can take good care of myself." Tang Yue interrupted her, saying, "Moreover, when we got married, we already knew it would be like this. However, such situations are rare. Most of the time, he’s in Jing City. Once the company stabilizes further, he’ll be permanently based in Jing City."
"Mom, I don’t feel the least bit tired." Tang Yue smiled. Although sometimes she might feel lonely at night, more often, she felt happy.
The door suddenly made a noise. Tang Yue thought it was her father, Tang Zhengde, coming back. Turning her head, she realized it was Meng Si Yu, who hadn’t been home for a long time.
"Si Yu." There was a gleam of surprise in Tang Yue’s eyes. She wanted to stand up, but her increasingly heavy body made standing and sitting difficult.
"Mom, Xiao Yue, I’m back."
Meng Si Yu strode forward, carrying a thermal container in his hand. He placed the container aside and sat next to her. As he opened it, he said, "I know you must be hungry, so I specially went to Dad’s shop and brought back some dumplings."
"Smells so good." Tang Yue, looking at the steaming dumplings and smelling the delicious aroma, felt a warmth in her heart.
"They are chive and pork dumplings, your favorite."
Meng Si Yu took the dumplings out into a bowl and placed them in front of Tang Yue.
Even though he hadn’t been back for half a month, there was no sense of unfamiliarity.
Zhang Hualian sat to the side, watching Meng Si Yu take care of her daughter so thoroughly. Inspired by Tang Yue’s earlier words, she understood that a woman ought to be grateful for finding a husband like Meng Si Yu, who loved her dearly. If he treated Xiao Yue poorly, he’d be annoying even if he were home every day.
Zhang Hualian quietly returned to her room, giving space to the young couple.
"Mom, are you going to sleep?" Tang Yue called out to Zhang Hualian.
Zhang Hualian nodded and suggested she return to her room to rest after eating, reassuring her that even sitting on the bed, awake, was more comfortable.
"Is it good?" Meng Si Yu stared intently at her. Having not seen her for a long time, he missed her to the point where it hurt. Seeing now that her belly had grown even bigger, his heart ached even more.
"Mm."
