One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 3756
Chapter 3756: A New Addition (372)
After the wedding, there was hardly a chance to get intimate. Moreover, with Gu Jinglian’s personality, the woman probably could not get intimate even if she wanted to. Chu He entered a difficult period of pregnancy.
In the early stages of pregnancy, Chu He started to develop pregnancy reactions. Actually, she was in rather good physical condition, so her pregnancy reaction wasn’t too serious. Aside from morning sickness, she couldn’t bear to look at greasy food. The most peculiar thing was that, like many pregnant women, she developed a special fondness for sweet and sour things.
Butler Fu bought some sour and candied plums and placed them on the bedside table. Whenever Chu He was hungry, she would just nibble at one or two of these, as she had no idea if it was safe to eat too many.
She heard that too much sweet food during pregnancy could easily result in diabetes. Hence, she did not dare to eat too many sweet foods. When hungry, she would eat a little to satisfy her cravings and no more. On the contrary, Baby Chu and Linxi would sneak into her room to look for snacks.
They did not know why Butler Fu had prepared all these candied and sour plums. They only thought that Chu He was hiding these snacks from them, so they would steal a jar every now and then.
When Butler Fu found this out, he had a good idea who the culprit was. However, he only smiled and brushed it off. He feigned ignorance and replenished items.
When Chu He’s pregnancy reactions were at their worst, she didn’t eat much for two whole days.
It was not that she did not want to eat. Chu He was a person with an amazing ability to endure. Even though the food didn’t appeal to her, she ate it nevertheless. However, before the food could be digested, she threw up everything.
Sometimes she even threw up bile.
After a week of this, she lost a significant amount of weight.
Pregnancy is tough! This was Gu Jinglian’s only exclamation!
In addition, she was pregnant with twins, so her belly was obviously larger than average.
Most women would only be visibly pregnant at four months pregnant. Chu He was only three months pregnant and she was already big.
However, even though she was pregnant, Chu He still insisted on exercising. In the mornings, after washing up, she would insist on taking a walk in the garden. After eating, she would move about as much as possible.
Gu Jinglian never had the habit of taking walks in the evenings after he came home from work. But ever since Chu He got pregnant, he developed endless patience, and would hold her hand as they took their evening walks.
Gradually, the scale of these strolls got larger. Butler Fu would come along. Then, worried that Chu He would feel uncomfortable and throw up during the walk, Madam Qin started following behind eagerly too.
Baby Chu and Linxi started to worry as well. Hence, after dinner every evening, this entire troop would go for a stroll in the back garden.
Although Chu He’s pregnancy period wasn’t too heavy going, it went on for some time, naturally. During that period of time, she couldn’t eat much no matter what. Butler Fu and Madam Qin went through a lot of trouble managing her diet. They did what they could and even hired a nutritionist to customize her meals.
In the end, none of the food suited Chu He. Other than porridge, she would throw up anything that had any hint of oil in it. Eventually, it was just easier not to eat. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to take it, throwing up like this every day.
Thus, Butler Fu prepared fruit and vegetable salads. The vegetables were only washed with filtered water and sprinkled with a little condiments, accompanied by cucumbers and apples.
