Since a little puppy appeared in the mountain villa, Wen Ning's activities increased. Although she was still cold to Shen Sihuan, she no longer locked herself in her bedroom all day.

  The rice ball's legs are too short, and it can't even step over a slightly higher threshold or a slightly larger pit. But the dog is still greedy and insists on going to the yard to catch birds and butterflies, getting stuck in the flower bed several times, barking "wang wang wang".

  Wen Ning had to go downstairs to rescue it. Back and forth, when the little silly dog came out for a walk, she simply followed along with it.

  With enough exercise, her appetite also improved.

  A few days passed and she seemed to be gradually becoming carefree.

  That afternoon, Wen Ning got out of bed and didn't see the shadow of Rice Ball upstairs or downstairs. She called out to the garden a few times, but the dog didn't respond either.

  "Madam, has the rice ball disappeared?" Lan Sao came out to ask.

  Wen Ning nodded, "I haven't seen it all morning."

  Lan's sister patted her thigh and said anxiously, "It's bad, there's a hole in the northwest corner of the garden wall that hasn't been repaired. It can't be that it ran out from there, right? Don't worry, madam, I'll take someone to look for it."

  Madam Lan ordered all the servants to run into the garden to look for the dog. Before long, someone shouted: "Found it! It's in the small warehouse!"

  Wen Ning followed the sound and walked over. Behind the villa was a small warehouse where some old items were stored.

  A rice ball with a faded baseball in its mouth, behind it is a torn cardboard box, and old toys are scattered all over the ground.

  Lan's wife was startled for a while, saw the old thing, and began to mutter to herself.

  "This is white sugar's toy, I thought it was lost long ago, but it turns out that young master has kept it."

  "Madam, White Sugar was a little dog raised by Young Master when he was a child. It's as white as a rice ball and very cute."

  "Young master had only a few toys when he was little, and when he went to school, he brought back white sugar as treasure and kept it in his room. The detestable Young Master Junhao stole the white sugar and got it smashed... The young master secretly cried for a long time..."

  Wen Ning listened for a few sentences, then bent down and picked up his rice ball, turning around to leave the warehouse.

  The rice ball kept biting onto the baseball and wouldn't let go, so she had no choice but to let it bring the ball back to the villa.

  Shen Sihan's car stopped at the steps before entering the hall.

  "Woof——"

  The rice ball let out a cry, and the stupid dog that usually didn't even dare to go down the stairs jumped directly from Wen Ning's arms, abandoning its ball, and rushed straight towards Shen Cihuang who was getting off the car.

  Shen Shihan's suit was crisp and neat. When he saw the little puppy, his eyebrows suddenly curved, and a warm smile appeared on his cold face.

  He held the rice ball in his arms, stroking its head, and the sunlight cast a soft glow on him.

  "Did Rice Ball go with Mommy to stroll in the garden again?"

  "Woof woof woof——"

  The rice ball turned its head and shouted at the baseball on the ground.

  Shen Zhan's expression paused for a moment, then he bent down and put the dog down.

  "Is your body uncomfortable today?" Shen Sihan walked towards Wen Ning.

  I'm fine.

  Wen Ning turned and went upstairs.

  Although their relationship is still so stiff, at least she doesn't make a fuss about leaving anymore.

  "Rice ball, you've taken good care of Mommy, Daddy wants to reward you."

  Shen Zihan opened the trunk and picked out a dog toy from a pile of baby supplies, tossing it to Wantan.

  The little milk dog happily gnawed away, while Shen Cihan busied himself moving the baby supplies he had personally selected into the nursery.

  …………

  At dinner time, Wen Ning only drank a little soup, and as soon as he swallowed it, he threw up everything just a few minutes later.

  Shen Zhanlan tensed up, "Isn't morning sickness supposed to be over? Why is she still vomiting?"

  Wēn níng tǔ dé xiǎo liǎn cǎn bái, tái shǒu tuī kāi tā, "wǒ méi wèi kǒu, wǒ xiǎng tǎng zhe."

  Translation:

  Her face turned pale, she pushed him away, "I've lost my appetite, I want to lie down."

  Shen didn't force her, he carried her upstairs.

  At night, Wen Ning suddenly vomited again, she hadn't eaten anything, and vomited twice, all of which were sour water.

  Shen Zihan supported her, one hand patting her back to help her catch her breath, the other reaching for the phone on the bedside table. "I'll call a doctor."

  Wen Ning's head was spinning and his eyes were blurry, his whole body weak as he leaned against Shen Qingqiu.

  I want to eat spicy crawfish.

  Wen Ning said in a low voice, stubbornly holding on until the end but still defeated by his appetite. She closed her eyes and didn't look at him, her expression very uncomfortable.

  Shen Shihan put down his phone, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. "There's no little lobster at home, I'll go buy some now."

  The kitchen is stocked with many healthy ingredients, and there are all kinds of seafood such as fish and shrimp, but the only thing missing is crayfish.

  Although he knew it wasn't healthy, this was Wen Ning's first time speaking up and making a request of him.

  Shen Shihan said whatever she wanted would be satisfied with her, and later let her eat a little less.

  "You lie down and rest, don't catch a cold, I'll be back soon."

  Shen Shihan jumped out of bed, changed his clothes and ran downstairs. Soon, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs.

  …………

  Shen Chihan drove to a nearby street and, after some effort, found a night snack shop that was still open. The store had some frozen crayfish.

  When he was paying, he suddenly realized that he had left in a hurry and didn't bring his mobile phone. Fortunately, there were some spare change on the car, so he didn't delay and rushed back.

  "Warm lemon, bought some back."

  Shen ran up the stairs excitedly, waving a plastic bag in his hand as if he had accomplished something incredible.

  "You can't eat too much crayfish, I also bought other things."

  Shen Shihan enthusiastically helped her peel a shrimp and handed it to her mouth.

  The pampering in those phoenix eyes was so thick that it couldn't be dispersed, and Wen Ning was as if enchanted, nodding his head and opening his mouth to eat the shrimp ball he handed over.

  "Whatever you say."

  Her lovely appearance suddenly struck a chord in Shen Ci Han's heart, and he couldn't help but kiss her face.

  "Wife, you're so obedient."

  Wen Ning lowered her head to eat and didn't look at him, Shen Sihuan thought she was shy.

  This time, Wen Ning didn't vomit again, ate half a meal, walked two laps in the room, brushed his teeth and washed up again, and went back to bed to sleep until dawn.

  In the morning, Shen Cihan looked at the woman nestled in his arms, and his whole heart was surrounded by a sense of happiness that had been lost and regained.

  He happily kissed her eyes, "Today there will be a doctor coming to the house for a prenatal examination, I'll go to the company first, and then come back later to accompany you to see our baby."

  Wen Ning rubbed his face against him, making a lazy sound with his mouth.

  "Later, I think... sleep..."

  Shen Zihan patted her head, "Alright, wait till you wake up, then let Lan auntie call me."

  Holding her, lying in bed for a while, Shen Sihan got up and went to work.

  Half an hour later, Shen Sihan went out.

  Wen Ning opened his eyes, got out of bed, casually put on a coat, and quietly slipped out of the villa while the servants were busy in the kitchen, coming to the northwest corner of the backyard.

  Rice ball...

  Wen Ning called out softly.

  All of a sudden, the rice ball jumped out from a clump of grass, and its neck had an unknown collar with a small box hanging on it.

  Inside the box is a bow hair clip and a red capsule.
