half thorns, half joy

Ye Nan didn't realize it for a while, she opened her eyes wide in a daze, and moved her gaze down to Tang Xuan's lower abdomen.

"Sister-in-law, you...you mean you are pregnant with a baby?"

Ye Nan subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch Tang Xuan's stomach, but suddenly thought of something, and pulled it back abruptly.

Even if Tang Xuan was her sister-in-law, her behavior was very inappropriate.

Besides, old people often say that newborn babies are cheapskates, and they should not be touched casually, or they will get angry.

Seeing her shocked appearance, Tang Xuan laughed to herself, and said softly, "You heard me right, Xiao Yuebai and Xiao Fengqing's sisters are coming."

"Great!" Ye Nan supported Tang Xuan's arm and said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, congratulations! But sister-in-law, how do you know the baby's gender?"

Ye Nan looked at Tang Xuan's flat belly strangely. No matter how you look at it, it's not three or four months old. Logically speaking, the baby's gender can't be checked so quickly.

Tang Xuan leaned close to her ear mysteriously: "Well, of course I guessed it, haha! I just want to have a daughter, so give the baby some psychological hints in advance, I think she will understand."

Ye Nan couldn't laugh or cry, even though she often failed in biology when she was in school, she also knew that the baby's gender was already determined at the time of fertilization.

Where is it the mother's turn to give hints to the baby?
As the saying goes, it really makes sense to be pregnant for three years.However, for Tang Xuan's beautiful wish, Ye Nan was very happy to wish her fulfillment.

Ye Nan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you will realize your wish. When the baby is born, we will buy her many, many beautiful dresses to wear."

Tang Xuan laughed aloud. She was actually joking, and she didn't expect Ye Nan to cooperate with her performance so much.

"Okay, you can also buy her cute accessories, dress her up beautifully, and then take her out for a stroll. She must be the most eye-catching little girl on the street."

"My sister-in-law is more thoughtful..."

The two walked towards the restaurant while chatting about the future with great interest.

During this period, the nanny stayed by Tang Xuan's side every step of the way, with a tense expression and cautious movements.

When they arrived at the dining table, Ye Nan was surprised to find that there were two more nannies serving her. Another change was that the dishes on the table were obviously diversified. It looked like a nutritious meal specially prepared for Tang Xuan.

Ye Nan couldn't help but asked Tang Xuan, "Did my brother order this?"

Tang Xuan nodded shyly, and told Ye Nan how careful Xiao Zihan was when he found out that she was pregnant. He also tidied up all the furniture and other items in the house, and even moved the bedroom to the first floor.

The more Ye Nan heard it, the more envious she became. She felt sincerely: "Sister-in-law, you are so happy! I didn't expect that my brother, who looks calm and straight, is actually a good man who is careful and tender."

Ye Nan thought of his relationship with Zheng Yifan who had no progress, and Zheng Yifan always maintained a lukewarm attitude towards her, not even showing closeness in words and deeds, and felt very uncomfortable.

Probably her luck is not good enough, so she hasn't met a man who really loves her to the bottom of her heart and dotes on her to heaven.

Tang Xuan sensed Ye Nan's gloomy aura, and guessed that she was thinking of her brother Zheng, so she changed the subject without a trace.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, you haven't been home these days, what are you doing outside?"

Ye Nan regained consciousness in an instant, and briefly told Tang Xuan about going to Zheng Yifan's house to take care of the kitten.

She didn't go back to Xiao's house a few days ago, and she simply told them to stay at a friend's house temporarily, but didn't say anything specific.

When talking about these things, Ye Nan inevitably brought up the scene of eating yesterday, and Fuzhi had a question in his mind.

Ye Nan thought about it for a while, and asked directly: "Sister-in-law, I want to hear your opinion about a point of view. Do you think people are happy with the person they like, or with the person they like?"

This kind of discussion of facing the soul directly made Tang Xuan's heart of gossip follow.

Since Ye Nan can ask this question, it proves that she may be in a conflict, facing two completely different choices.

Tang Xuan habitually asked Ye Nan what she thought, but no surprise she didn't get an effective answer.

Ye Nan is not a stupid person, but she is seriously lacking in both IQ and EQ in terms of feelings, and has always been clueless.

Tang Xuan was very helpless and had no choice but to give up.

The nanny served them soup, and after she had placed the bowls and chopsticks, she stepped back to one side, looking at her nose and her heart.They consciously fulfill their responsibilities and are not interested in the private affairs of their employers.

Tang Xuan motioned Ye Nan to drink the soup, she picked up the bowl herself, and finished the bowl of soup in small sips.

She wiped her mouth gracefully, thought for a moment, and then gave Ye Nan a detailed analysis: "The difference between the person you like and the person you like lies in which aspect of pressure you choose to bear. If you have to choose one , I hope you can start from your actual situation and delve into your inner sense of security and independence."

"If your mind is sensitive and fragile, then choose someone who likes you, and your life will be relatively happy. Women are emotional creatures. In love or marriage, a bonus system is used. When a person treats you superimposed , his status in your mind will gradually increase."

With such a person, I don't have to worry about whether he will leave, just enjoy his dedication.Especially on the premise that the other party is reliable, he will try his best to give the other half a good life.

On the contrary, those who are confident and strong enough in their hearts should choose the person they like.

"You are qualified to pursue the person you like, because you can create a better life on your own. All in all, one is psychological satisfaction, and the other is comfort in reality. The key is which path you want to take."

Tang Xuan said a lot in one breath, then used her chopsticks to eat, quietly waiting for Ye Nan to digest her words.

Ye Nan held his chopsticks hesitantly, wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.

We all know that the best love is the gratification of two people, but unfortunately things in the world are not so perfect.Either wishful thinking, or miss, the difficulty is that like-minded people get together smoothly.

The love between the two is not equal, and there are only two results, either psychological emptiness or uncomfortable life.

Ye Nan sighed deeply: "It's too difficult to like this thing, and it's even more difficult to like each other."

"It's really difficult." Tang Xuan cast an approving look, trying to adjust the atmosphere, "Otherwise, how could the world go through all kinds of hardships to find and pursue such invisible and intangible things."

Ye Nan told the truth, expressing her admiration for Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan's relationship.

This is the most loving couple she has ever seen.

Tang Xuan was noncommittal, and smiled calmly, "We went through a lot of hardships back then, and it wasn't all smooth sailing. Of course, there is no relationship in the world that lacks tempering, as long as we persevere and have a clear conscience."

Tang Xuan was so focused on recalling her past with Xiao Zihan, she didn't notice the subtle expression on Ye Nan's face when she heard the word "Smooth sailing".

Ye Nan was caught off guard when Zheng Yifan's name was spoken from Wuxinren's mouth, and her breathing involuntarily stopped for a moment.

The human mind is amazing. It is always easy to connect to someone based on irrelevant words.

Ye Nan realized that she had really fallen into it, as if she had fallen into a bottomless vortex, unable to struggle and unable to see the exit.

She'll be doomed if it goes on like this.

But Ye Nan still didn't give up, and asked: "Does my sister-in-law mean to pursue the person I like? At least I won't leave any regrets."

"It doesn't have to be."

Tang Xuan shook her head: "I think obedience is the most important thing. No matter what your final choice is, you will always lose something. Sometimes it's even more useless to be attached to the wrong person."

As the saying goes, you can't have both.Gains and losses, one ebbs and another, has been an eternal law since ancient times, and no one can escape it.

Ye Nan lowered her eyelids thoughtfully, all kinds of thoughts came flooding in like a tide, squeezing her so hard that she was almost out of breath.

After a long time, Ye Nan smiled in relief: "I understand. Thank you sister-in-law for your explanation."

Tang Xuan spread her hands, "I can't help you, it's up to you to figure it out on your own. Next time you still have doubts, let's discuss it together. Let's eat first, the food will be cold later."

"Ok."

Ye Nan was not in a hurry, she planned to give herself a little more time to slowly decide what kind of other half she would choose.

After dinner, Ye Nan went back to the bedroom to tidy up her clothes.

"Ding--"

The mobile phone placed in the cabinet indicated that there was a new message, Ye Nan was afraid of missing Zheng Yifan's message, so she immediately picked up the mobile phone.

When I opened it, I was disappointed. It was a WeChat message from Xu Ningyu.

He wanted to ask Ye Nan to go to the playground in a few days, and the reason why he said it in advance was stated at the end of the message, so that Ye Nan would be prepared so as not to disrupt her plan.

Xu Ningyu sincerely expressed that he was willing to cooperate with Ye Nan's time.

The other party's intentions were obvious, and he hoped to have a chance to get along with Ye Nan next time, and he didn't mind following Ye Nan's arrangement.

I have to say that Xu Ningyu is a caring man, and Ye Nan couldn't think of a reason to refuse this time.

However, Ye Nan thought of Tang Xuan's remarks at the right time, and her whole heart wavered in her chest, not knowing which side to lean on was the correct approach.

Ye Nan hesitated and opened the dialogue box, but finally did not agree directly, only said that he would think about it.

Xu Ningyu didn't chase after him, and sent four words: "Wait for the good news."

Before Ye Nan had time to exit the interface, his next message came again.

"Be pious."

Ye Nan stared blankly at the two words next to each other, which were both polite and warm.

There was an inexplicable meaning in her eyes, and she thought blankly that Xu Ningyu was much more active than she imagined.

That afternoon, Ye Nan went back to Zheng Yifan's house to feed the oranges.

Tangerine stayed alone for most of the day, unable to get excited about everything.When Ye Nan entered the door, she saw it lying on the mat sleepily, with more than half of the cat food left in the food bowl.

She hugged the orange guiltily, teased it softly for a while, and then opened a can of fish for it.Tangerine walked over with short legs, and started to eat.

Seeing the appearance of the oranges, Ye Nan sent a video call request to Zheng Yifan with a thought.
