1650 Help Me Warm the Bed

Upon hearing Shen Luo'an's confident reply, Shen Zhilie laughed and said, "Well, that would depend wholly on whether she's willing to!"

"Granny will bring her back."

"Heh! How easy you make it sound!" Shen Zhilie's tone was dripping with disdain. He said, "Right now, Older Sister Manting doesn't want to come back at all! Granny even offered to give her all the property she has, but she's still adamant about not coming back! Although I have no idea what you did to her, I can tell that it was obviously something bad! She would never have left in the first place and refuse to come back now otherwise!"

"Where are they now?"

"In the hospital!"

…

Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan made their way to the hospital for the appointment that had been made in advance. After the check-up, the doctor notified them that the fetus was healthy.

They quickly headed home. They fell asleep in each other's arms.

Time always flew by when one was asleep. When they awoke, they paid a visit to the Rong residence.

Li Jianqian had gotten used to living with the Rongs and was getting along very well with Rong Xuan and Rong Haiyue.

The hour was late by the time they left the Rong residence.

It was about 10 p.m. when Ye Youyou received a call from Ye Tian.

Ye Tian's intentions were obvious. She didn't bother with formalities. When the call was answered, she got straight to the point and said, "Now that Shen Luo'an has been released, when on earth is your boyfriend going to give me the money he promised me? Let's arrange a time to conduct the exchange tomorrow. If I wait any longer and you return to Kingstown, it'll be troublesome for me to have to make the trip down."

Li Jinnan was seated on the couch reading a book. Ye Youyou turned on the speakerphone so he could listen in on the conversation.

Ye Youyou subconsciously glanced at him.

She watched as his eyes gazed into the distance. A look of surprise flashed in them.

Li Jinnan reached his hand out. Ye Youyou quickly handed the cellphone to him.

It seemed Li Jinnan was long prepared. He replied, "Sure. Let's have lunch together tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright! I know of a pretty good restaurant," Ye Tian said. "I'll send you the address in a moment."

"That's not necessary," Li Jinnan said. "I've already booked a place. See you tomorrow at the World Trade Center."

Ye Tian rejoiced inwardly and complimented him. "I knew you were the thoughtful sort! See you tomorrow!"

Li Jinnan didn't bother to reply as he passed the cellphone back to Ye Youyou.

Ye Youyou felt that something was amiss, but she said goodbye to the person on the line, nonetheless. After she hung up, she looked at Li Jinnan and asked, "When did you make the reservation? Furthermore, how did you know that she would be looking for us so soon?"

As Li Jinnan spoke, a vague smile appeared on his face.

Ye Youyou rush up to him in curiosity and asked in a low voice, "What are you up to?"

"Nothing. Go. Take a shower."

"Together?"

"You may go ahead without me."

When Ye Youyou heard that, her eyes squinted in a smile. She reached out to wrap her arm around his waist and said, "Let's shower together."

Li Jinnan lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose. He said, "No. Shower on your own. Be careful not to slip."

"I'm worried. What if I slip and fall?" Ye Youyou's finger began to roam around his waist as she continued. "That'd be horrible."

Li Jinnan turned his head away. "That won't happen. I placed an anti-slip mat in the bathroom."

Ye Youyou had nothing else to say.

Evidently, Li Jinnan had long been prepared.

Ye Youyou kissed him on his lips and said, "I'm off to shower. Help me warm the bed."
