Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Time passed quickly, and when I woke up, it was New Year's Eve.

He Xi was wandering around the house doing nothing, which made them nervous. But no one dared to say anything serious to He Xi. Lu Jinan came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and couldn't help laughing at He Xi.

He walked over, pressed He Xi's shoulders, and asked her to sit on the warm kang: "My ancestor, just sit there for a while. It's all ice and snow outside, and the road is slippery. Who do you want to scare to death?"

He Xi took off his shoes and got on the kang, crossed his legs in a standard Northeastern style, exhaled a bored breath, and calmed himself down: "I have too much free time. You don't let me do anything, what should I do?"

Lu Jinan very virtuously placed the snacks that she had prepared for pregnant women in front of He Xi one by one: "These are for you to choose from."

He Xi looked at these snacks and didn't seem to be interested in them. She wanted to eat ice cream. The more you can't eat something, the more you want to eat it. She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Jinan's apron: "Go and cook. I won't go out and wander around anymore."

Seeing He Xi's cleverness, Lu Jinan raised his eyelids, his eyes dark, "Well, okay, you can play on the kang by yourself. If you can't do it, take a nap. If you sleep well, you will have enough energy to stay up all night."

"Yeah." He Xi urged him, "I'm fine. You guys are all here. If there was really something wrong, I would have called you and you would have come."

He Xi watched Lu Jinan leave and waited for a while before taking action. She nimbly moved her fingers on the system's control interface to choose her favorite ice cream. She insisted on buying the small one and didn't feel bad even if it was confiscated.

He Xi chose a blueberry flavor and carried it back to eat. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her body. She knew that her secret had been exposed. She carefully hid the ice cream in her space and pretended to turn her head away inadvertently.

She asked in a surprised tone: "What's wrong, husband?"

The eye-catching apron could not hide Lu Jinan's handsomeness at all. He said quietly, "Okay, that's enough. Take it out."

He Xi: "What? Take out what?"

Lu Jinan approached He Xi and ordered her: "Come here."

He Xi used her hands and feet to crawl to the edge of the kang, only to see Lu Jinan raise his hand to wipe the corner of He Xi's lips, and raised the ice cream residue on his thumb to He Xi: "What did you say, take it out."

Lu Jinan saw her reluctance and said slowly, "I didn't stop you from eating, but you also have to take care of the baby and my feelings, right?"

Pregnant women have many taboos, such as not being able to eat cold or spicy food, not being able to do strenuous exercise, etc. At the very beginning, He Xi was already treading on the edge of Lu Jinan's bottom line.

Lu Jinan held her in his arms and touched her little hand, which was warm: "It seems that she didn't cheat much."

He Xi always liked to hold the delicious food in her hands while eating, for fear of dirtying her clothes, but it was often the same, except that the food went into her mouth a little faster.

The New Year's Eve dinner naturally had to be paired with He Fei's latest designs, including a standard red sweater, a red long skirt, and black trousers. He Xi's nail polish stickers were all in red to suit the occasion.

He's father looked at the beautiful nails on He Xi's hands and frowned, "You are already a mother, but you still don't know when to be beautiful. What will happen if you endure it for a few months? If you can't control yourself now, what will your parents-in-law think?"

Lu Jinan sat down next to He Xi, took He Xi's hand and placed it in his palm: "It's okay, it's all fake, this is just a nail sticker and we both put it on together, who said pregnant women don't have the right to be beautiful, she will feel relieved after the novelty wears off."

Lu Jinan didn't feel nervous or awkward at all when he had the New Year's Eve dinner with He's father and He Fei. If it was He Xi, it would be hard to say, after all, his status is different now. Or is he just thick-skinned?

He Xi basically doesn’t have to cook for herself what she wants to eat, because Lu Jinan knows it all. She has a good appetite tonight, but he strictly controls He Xi’s food intake. However, eating shrimp is a pleasure every time.

He Xi tilted her head to admire Lu Jinan, and saw his bony hands peeling shrimps one by one. Then clean shrimps appeared in He Xi's bowl. His sexy fingers were dipped in a little soup, and Lu Jinan wiped them one by one with a tissue.

The sexy big hands were very tempting, swinging back and forth in front of He Xi. Seeing that he was looking at his hands, Lu Jinan raised a sly smile and leaned close to He Xi's ear: "I like it. Let's try it tonight?"

He Xi blushed: "No, it's not appropriate."

Lu Jinan smiled slightly and kissed He Xi's slightly red cheek: "If you are so hesitant, you might as well give it a try. This is the experience from many years ago."

Being stared at, He Xi's face suddenly turned red: "No, you... Hurry up and peel the shrimp."

Lu Jinan continued to peel shrimps obediently, but the topic could not avoid the previous question: "Try it, I will take good care of you."

At this moment, a bowl was suddenly extended in front of Lu Jinan: "Why, can't the father-in-law taste the shrimp you peeled?"

Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Yes, my son is not around and he is looking for his shadow in me, so I must satisfy him."

Father He had a smug smile on his lips: "That's about right, do you like boys or girls?"

"Boy." Lu Jinan answered without hesitation, because he and He Xi had already discussed this issue.

The preference for boys over girls really irritated He's father. He threw out the shrimps that had just been placed in the bowl. He said in a deep voice: "You like boys? What would you do if it was a girl? Will you keep forcing my daughter to give birth to a boy?"

He Xi stared at the shrimp and said, "Dad, it's shameful to waste food. You don't cherish what you have snatched."

He's father looked at He Xi angrily and said, "Isn't this for your own good?"

He Xi: "Give me back my shrimp."

Lu Jinan looked at the recognized shrimp and smiled suddenly: "Dad, you misunderstood. Girls are naturally our treasures, but boys are easier for us to be hands-off, while girls have more concerns."

Father He raised his eyebrows and said, "Look how beautiful it is for you two."

After dinner, He Xi felt that the house was too hot and wanted to go out for a walk.

Lu Jinan held He Xi's hand and walked in the light snow. Her red turtleneck sweater made her face look even whiter.

Lu Jinan still couldn't quite believe that he had become a father. It turned out that anticipating the arrival of a child was such a long and complicated process.

He called almost all of his high school friends at the time, boasting in his tone: "Not only am I married, I've also become a father. Prepare red envelopes for me. Don't lose money in business and have no money to give. Prepare in advance."

The classmates were more shocked than each other. Not to mention that he had married far away, he was also the first to be a father and the first among them to start his own business from scratch. This was enough for their old men to nag about, and now he was one step ahead of others.

Will there be a second child or a third child later? Even if they get married overnight and have a child in two months, they won’t be able to catch up with him.
