Actually, this isn’t the main reason. The important thing is that a certain woman’s belly is getting bigger and bigger. By next month, it might even be difficult for her to move around. If it comes to that, there’s no way to guard against any tricks the Xi Family mother and daughter might pull. It’s better to just let them put their guard down completely, so An Nan can peacefully stay at home and nurture her pregnancy, without everyone feeling anxious.

When An Nan got home, she found her mother-in-law still waiting for her in the living room. She felt a bit embarrassed and walked over: "Mom, why haven’t you gone back to your room to sleep!"

Lan Yiqing shook her head, a gentle smile on her lips: "Before Mu Bai left, he entrusted you to me. Since you hadn’t come home so late, I was worried."

An Nan’s eyes instantly warmed up, and she immediately stepped forward to hold her hands: "Mom, I’m back now, you should hurry and go to sleep!"

The other person didn’t turn and leave immediately but instead asked again with concern: "Do you want to eat a little more at night, are you hungry?"

An Nan shook her head emotionally, indicating she was done eating.

She had already eaten so much in the evening, and if she continued to eat now, she really would become a pig.

The other person still wasn’t reassured and gave a reminder: "Alright, if you get hungry in the middle of the night, just knock on my door, and I’ll get up to make something for you."

An Nan quickly shook her head to refuse: "Mom, it’s okay, you can rest assured and sleep. If I get hungry, I’ll get up and make something myself. Although I can’t cook, haven’t you made some ready-to-eat food and put it in the fridge? I can just heat it in the microwave."

Lan Yiqing thought for a moment and agreed. She guessed that even if this daughter-in-law got hungry in the middle of the night, she wouldn’t knock on her door, so she just went along with her wishes.

An Nan then continued to urge her: "Mom, hurry up and go to sleep!"

"Alright, you should go to bed early too, good night!"

After her mother-in-law left, An Nan turned and went back to her room.

Just as she returned to her room, her phone rang. She quickly connected it without even glancing at the name on the screen and cheerfully said into the phone: "Husband, what are you doing!"

A hearty voice came from the other side of the phone: "I just finished work and saw your WeChat. Did you go to the ’Champs Elysees’ today?"

"Yes, Jiang Yu Kai came to pick me up, and Ying Chen cooked. You know, I ate so much today, I cleaned out all the plates, and when I finished, they were all shocked."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Mubai had already imagined the scene in his mind, a few men staring blankly at a mess on the table, probably scared stiff. Indeed, everyone knew how little his wife used to eat, and comparing it to now, it was quite astonishing. He could completely picture that scene in his mind.

However, when he saw that photo for the first time, he was also startled because she did eat quite a lot.

After An Nan finished speaking, there was a long pause on the other end of the phone, which left her heart struggling. Finally, she cautiously asked into the phone again: "Do you also think I ate too much?"
