When Su Rui was 32 weeks pregnant, she and Gu Yu Cheng moved back to the Su family’s residence because they couldn’t manage some things.

At the dinner table, Mother Su placed all of Su Rui’s favourite dishes and desserts in front of her.

“Come Rui Rui, eat more of this if you like it.”

There was a kind of love called ‘your mother thinks you have not eaten enough’.

For instance, Mother Su was currently doing just that.

Looking at the bowl of sweet soup in front of her that looked very appetizing, Su Rui’s gaze was no longer sparkling.

Even though Mother Su’s sweet soup was delicious, it became a bit excessive after eating too much of it.

“No, I can’t eat any more.” Su Rui said and shook her head.

It is true that she couldn’t eat anymore.

She had already gained almost 25 jin (12.5 kg/ 27.56 pounds) since she got pregnant.

Once the baby is born, it would only weigh a certain amount of weight, so one could imagine where the rest of it went.

Even though the doctor said it was normal during her maternity checkup in the hospital, Su Rui was really worried about overeating and gaining too much weight.

Beside her, seeing Su Rui’s refusal, Gu Yu Cheng knew that Su Rui was tired of the food and agreed with her.

“Last week at the maternity check-up, the doctor suggested that she should control her diet,” Gu Yu Cheng said in a serious manner.

In reality, the doctor’s advice was that the baby was healthy, all indicators were normal, and that she should continue to maintain this state and pay little attention to her diet during the third trimester.

Sure enough, when Mother Su heard the word ‘doctor’, her expression suddenly became serious.

“Oh, then don’t eat it. I’ll prepare food for you if you feel hungry again in the evening.”

“Oh right.” As Mother Su said this, her gaze drifted towards Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng, especially Gu Yu Cheng.

“Yu Cheng, I’ve cleaned the room next to Rui Rui’s today. You can sleep over there tonight.”

As soon as Liu Yue said this, the other two people at the dinner table, except for Old Comrade Su who was calmly eating the large table of dishes in front of him, was stunned.

Reject, I really want to refuse.

Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng looked at each other silently. Both of them interpreted this message in each other’s eyes.

As an experienced person, Mother Su could obviously see the two young people’s reluctance.

So, she explained, “Rui Rui is further into the pregnancy. It’s not convenient for you two to sleep together at night.”

Mother Su ‘took the time’ to glance at Father Su and reminded him, “Lao Su, you should eat less. Don’t let your blood pressure go up again at night.”

At the same time, she kicked Father Su under the table.

Father Su coughed dryly, raised his head and agreed with her, “Ahem, your mother is right.”

After saying this, he put on the air of the ‘head of the household’ and looked at Gu Yu Cheng very seriously and added, “It’s only a month or two of hard work, so just overcome it.”

The two elders had already said it at this point, so how could the young couple refuse?

Moreover, Mother Su was reasonable in requesting this.

“Alright…” Su Rui nodded and responded.

Gu Yu Cheng beside her also softly responded.

……

In the evening, Su Rui finished the task of taking a walk and washing up and lay down on her bed preparing to sleep.

Suddenly there is no one beside me and it makes me feel unaccustomed to it.

Su Rui muttered to herself.

At this moment, Mother Su knocked on the door and came in.

“Rui Rui, why are you still up?”

“I just got in bed.”

“The third trimester of pregnancy is especially crucial, you must ensure you have sufficient sleep, do you understand?”

“Mhm.” Su Rui nodded. With a smile, she looked at Mother Su and said, “You’ve already said that no less than fifty times, Mum.”

“(Snort) You are unhappy that I am stressing this point to you?” Liu Yue looked askance at her own daughter and said in a pretentious manner.

“Is it because you are unhappy that I told Gu Yu Cheng to sleep in the room next to you?” Mother Su asked.

Su Rui blinked her eyes and said, “Oh, I don’t dare.” It wasn’t that she was unhappy about it. She didn’t dare to be unhappy about it.

Looking at her daughter’s somewhat playful appearance, Mother Su rolled her eyes at her.

“You are going to be a mother soon, yet you are still not serious.”

“When I become a mother, I’m still mum’s daughter too.”

Su Rui’s words amused her mother.

“Let me tell you, I’m letting you two sleep in separate rooms for your own good.”

Rui Rui is further into the pregnancy. There are some things that inattentive men can’t look after. It was indeed a bit inconvenient for two people to sleep in the same room again.

Most importantly, they are still young and Gu Yu Cheng is at a vigorous age where he becomes hot-blooded. Mother Su was really worried that the two of them won’t be able to control themselves and what if they hurt the baby?

Hence, after much deliberation, the best way was to let these two sleep separately.

“Besides,” after glancing at Su Rui, Liu Yue continued, “Don’t you yourself know how to feel sorry for your man?”

His wife is pregnant and he can’t do anything. Mother Su wouldn’t know how hard it would be for him to endure, and this question has to be asked to Gu Yu Cheng himself.

However, she knew how torturous the second latter weeks of pregnancy would be.

Mother Su thought that the two of them should sleep separately. Su Rui could call the housekeeper that they have specially hired and this wouldn’t disturb Gu Yu Cheng’s rest.

Su Rui also knew that Mother Su has a point, so she nodded her head.

“Yes, yes, yes. Mum has considered it very well.” Su Rui smiled ‘obsequiously’ and nodded towards Liu Yue.

“Alright, don’t speak anymore. Hurry up and go to sleep.”
