Mei Feng’s expression froze and she chided him, “I’ll just ask someone to call or her! Why do you need to go look for her?”
As she turned her head to instruct the housekeeper, Shen Zihao was already heading to theundry room. “It’s ok, I’ll go look for her.”
Theundry room was on the first floor. Just as he entered the room, he saw Xia Nuannuan flinging a coat out to dry with great effort.
And in front of her, there was a neatlyid out row of his shirts.
She was straightening herself with a hand on her lower back and the other lifting the coat upboriously.
She had a delicate frame to begin with, so one naturally felt a desire to protect her. It felt like the task of washing such heavy garments wouldpletely exhaust her. Shen Zihao quickly rushed forward in fright and asked, “What on earth are you doing?”
Xia Nuannuan jumped and turned around. Shen Zihao strode over and, at once, took the coat from her hands and flung it into the basin.
The moment he took the garment from her, he felt its weight in his hand.
This was such a heavy piece of clothing and she had actually cleaned it.
Shen Zihao frowned deeply at once, when he recalled how he had just seen her trying to support her lower back with one hand. “Can’t you get the housekeeper to do this? Why are you even doing theundry in this household? Didn’t they say that you are not to do anything strenuous during your pregnancy?”
As they were on the way back from Hainan, Xia Yehua had already grabbed his hand and gone on and on about the pregnancy, reminding him of this.
In the first three months of pregnancy, she must not exert herself.
Shen Zihao was livid.
It was only then that Xia Nuannuan replied with a hurt expression, “It wasn’t me. Aunty Mei asked me to do theundry. She said these are your garments and she used to be the one who washed them...”
Shen Zihao was stumped.
He had no idea who used to wash his clothes.
However...
“You’re in a special situation now. Also, there are so many clothes. How long is that going to take? Come, let’s go eat dinner.”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and looked at him. “But Aunty Mei will be displeased.”
These words made Shen Zihao feel twitchy inside.
“How could that be possible? Aunty Mei is not like that.”
Then he took Nuannuan’s hand and led her to the living room.
When Mei Feng saw them, she said immediately, “Nuannuan,e quickly and have your dinner!”
The girl nodded at Mei Feng.
Mei Feng gave Shen Zihao a nce and smiled. “In the past, I personally washed all your clothes. Now that Nuannuan has married you, I guess I can sit back and rx!”
Shen Zihao said when he heard these remarks, “Aunty Mei, Nuannuan is pregnant and she’s not supposed to perform manual tasks. In the future, please don’t let her do things likeundry!”
There was an unnoticeable displeasure in his tone.
Mei Feng froze for a moment and then looked up. Looking puzzled, she asked, “Don’t they say that pregnant women should exercise? They shouldn’t sit around all day.”
“They can walk around, but they should not do anything physically demanding!”
The woman looked as though she suddenly understood and said, “Oh, it’s like that is it? I’ve never had a baby, so I have no idea.”
At this remark, Shen Zihao froze. The disapproving words he had for her stuck in his throat.
When Mei Feng married Shen Xiu, she took an operation to ensure that she would never be able to bear children.
She had told Shen Zihao that she wasn’t marrying Shen Xiu for the Shen family’s inheritance, so for the rest of her life, she would treat Shen Zihao like her own son.
She had done this to prove that she and Shen Xiu weren’t what Xia Yehua had thought.
Shen Zihao sighed at the remark that Mei Feng had suddenly made.
A woman robbed of the joy of motherhood is a cruel thing.
