A week later,
The weather was fine in this week.
Linda Yun enjoyed sitting on the balcony and basking every day. She read books, and sometimes looked at the bay and appreciated the scenery there, with a empty mind.
Of course, what she enjoyed most was to make interaction with the baby in her womb.
The temperature difference between day and night was very large in the middle of November.
Linda Yun took a blanket and sat on the sofa. She was sending messages to Xiao Kui with her mobile phone.
Xiao Kui went to Thailand with her family members yesterday. And she was shopping right now.
[Wait for my coming back, I have bought many clothes for your baby, which are very beautiful]
Linda Yun smiled lightly and replied [Don’t buy too much since there are a lot of baby’s clothes in my home]
[I got it. You are wordy! The clothes are not for you. You just leave me alone]
Linda Yun reluctantly replied [Tell me when you will be back, and I will let aunt Fang cook delicious foods for you.]
[Okay! Now I am going to go shopping]
Linda Yun looked at the phone, with smile in the corner of her mouth, and then she opened the weibo of George Mo.
His company had opened market in Austral City. And he was was busy every day during this period.
However he still regularly sent messages to greet her almost every day, and would visit her together with Xiao Kuoccasionally.
As for Michael Huo...
"Ding ding ding" rang the phone.
She looked downward and found it was Michael Huo’s call, which just like to talk of the devil and he will appear.
"Have you had dinner?" came the magnetic voice of Michael Huo from his phone.
"No, I haven’t yet, and aunt Fang is cooking"
"I will come back earlier this afternoon, and cook dinner for you personally tonight"
"Okay!" she smiled slightly. However she suddenly screamed out "Oh-------" no sooner after she begin to smile.
"What’s wrong?" asked Michael Huo. When he suddenly heard her scream from the phone, he was shocked and stood up all at one, inquiring hurriedly "What’s wrong with you, Linda?"
Linda Yun held the phone without moving. She quickly looked at her belly, and became astounded.
"Linda, Linda...." shouted Michael Huo anxiously once again.
"Madam" called aunt Fang. She also ran to her fast after hearing the scream, and asked "What’s wrong with you, madam?"
"Linda, Linda!" called Michael Huo once again. With no reply, he hurriedly said, "Don’t move, I will come back right now"
While saying, he took up the suit nearby and stood up.
"Michael Huo..." Linda Yun spoke all of a sudden.
Hearing her voice, Michael Huo stopped his pace all at once, and asked "What’s wrong with you, Linda? What have happened with you just before? Is there anything wrong with you, right?"
"I... I just" she answered, with her eyebrows being twisted "It seemed that ... I had felt that our baby was moving just before....", which she thought seemed to be an illusion.
"What?" Michael Huo was stunned, and asked once again.
"Our baby had...had moved in my womb." answered Linda Yun. She looked downward at her plumped belly, with her eyes being red all at once, and said "Michael Huo, our baby moved, and I felt that our baby moved in my uterus!"
"Really? Wait for me, I will come back soon!" said Michael Huo
"President Huo, the contract has been prepared well, and do you want to sign it right now " came the voice of Joe Guo from the phone suddenly.
"The contract will be sign on afternoon since I have another thing to handle with now." said Michael Huo, and hung off the phone.
Linda Yun put down her phone slowly, with her eyes staring at her belly closely, and her hands stroking her belly quiveringly, and in next second, she suddenly looked forward, with her red eyes, and smiled at aunt Fang, answering "Aunt Fang, my baby moved, and I felt it. He moved!"
Seeing the delight from her heart, aunt Fang didn’t say a word, and had a mixed feeling at that every moment.
’Ding’ rang aunt Fang’s phone in her pocket. It came a message.
Aunt Fang leaned her body to one side, and took out her phone from pocket, seeing there was a message only with three words [Mom, help me!], which was sent from a phone number she hadn’t noted.
————
More than one hour later.
Michael Huo Ran back hurriedly.
"Had our baby moved?" asked Michael Huo. He took off his suit and wore a shirt, and then came to her front.
Linda Yun nodded with a smile, and said "Yes! He had. But the frequency was not too much. According to books, the fetal movement is not very obvious at the early period, and will be more frequent in the later period" explained Linda Yun.
When she explained, it was easy to see her gender smile and maternal love.
Hearing this, Michael Huo put his ear on her belly.
Linda Yun laughed lightly, and said "He may be slept now since he doesn’t move!"
Michael Huo also laughed, and said "I can touch and feel it after some period. "
Linda Yun nodded "Yes! You can touch and feel it after some period!"
"Sir and madam, the lunch has been prepared well!" said aunt Fang, with a not good complexion, and her hands rubbing the apron in front of her.
Then, Michael Huo quickly supported her to stand up with his hands, and said "I will take you to go to the supermarket after we finish the lunch, okay?"
"Aren’t you busy this afternoon? And I heard that you will sign a contract this afternoon from my phone just before." asked Linda Yun.
"It’s okay to sign it tomorrow." explained Michael Huo. He was very happy, and it seemed that he had seen a soft baby.
At the sight of this, Linda Yun smiled, and she felt very good too.
The two people went to the dinning-table, and had lunch simply.
"Aunt Fang, you can have a rest at home, and I will buy the food materials for dinner" Michael Huo took up his coat, then he looked at aunt Fang and said.
Aunt Fang nodded "Okay"
Then Linda Yun went out together with Michael Huo.
At the moment when the door was closed, aunt Fang could not help calling Mary Yun’s phone.
————
It was about 4 p.m.
Michael Huo was busy in the kitchen, meanwhile Linda Yun stood beside and gave directions to him.
"Okay. You go out first, and I can cook it" said Michael Huo. For fear that the lampblack would touch her body, he stood in front of her with half of his body to shield her while speaking.
However Linda Yun said, "It doesn’t matter. Please put less sugar since it’s not good for me to suffer from gestational diabetes!"
"I know, and know it very well in my heart!" while saying this, the man dipped a little bit of sugar with a spoon and put it into the cuisine.
After quite a while.
After cooking for a long time, Michael Huo brought three courses and one soup to the table at last.
"You can have a taste, please" suggested Michael Huo. He wore the apron, with a childlike expression, which was as funny as it could be.
Seeing his impatience, Linda Yun couldn’t help laughing. And then, she took up the chopstick to pick up a sweet and sour spare rib, and put it into her mouth.
"How does it taste, how? Is there any progress for my cooking skill?" asked Michael Huo. It seemed that he was going to lean to her side, and his expression looked just as that for expecting to open the lottery.
Linda Yun didn’t say anything, but to taste it seriously.
In next second, she picked up another one and ate.
"What about the taste?" he asked.
"How do you think?" she laughed, with her cheek being bulging. "And if it isn’t delicious, will I taste it once again?"
Hearing her words, Michael Huo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled right away. Then, he picked up one spare rib and tasted, and next he twisted his eyebrows and exclaimed "Bah bah bah..... it is so sour!"
Linda Yun laughed lightly "It’s not bad. I think it tastes good!"
"Don’t eat. It’s too sour. Maybe I have regarded the soy sauce as the vinegar by mistakes. Come here, and eat other dishes" Michael Huo said.
On the dinning-table, were the two persons eating intimately.
Meanwhile, aunt Fang was cleaning the cooking utensils in kitchen, and became absent-minded...
After the two persons finished the dinner, Michael Huo armed around her and went downstairs for walking.
"It is so sweltering" complained Yuan Linda. She walked in the community, only feeling fuggy in her chest.
"It will rain tonight" Michael Huo explained. He had a look on the sky, and added "The sweltering weather will be relieved after it rains"
Linda Yun nodded and said, "It is a true that a rain brings cool. Fortunately, our baby will be born in spring which is neither hot nor cold."
Michael Huo laughed," It is our baby who is good at choosing date!"
Yuan Linda smiled, without saying anything, and greatly strengthened her strength to arm the crook of his arm.
It was obvious that she was cheerful.
Michael Huo naturally put his arm around her shoulder and said, " A good new came from my layers those few days that the court date will be advanced. And we have finished collecting evidence. I’m afraid that James Yun will spend his lifetime in prison this time!"
Linda Yun stopped her pace and looked at him, asking "Really?"
"Yes! And don’t worry. I will try my best to let my lawyers give him the biggest punishment---death penalty!" the man answered with a calm voice.
Linda Yun didn’t say a word, and looked at him in surprise.
Michael Huo laughed, "This end is what he is supposed to have! "
Linda Yun’ eyes became red at once, and she had the idea in her mind that the best outcome is that he will be sentenced to death, and if won’t, then it is still comforting that he will be put into prison for lifetime.
At the sight of this, Michael Huo hurriedly armed her more tightly, and said "After he handles this matter well, it will be time to resolve another matter!"
Linda Yun looked forward at him and asked "What is matter?"
The man lovingly looked at her with his abstruse eyes which had emitted blurring and rippling lights, and said "Don’t worry. You will know soon!"
After saying this, he looked upward at the gloomy sky, thinking that he was still lacked of the last evidence.
Then, everything will be clear.
"Michael Huo...." Linda Yun lightly called him suddenly.
"Um?"
"Can you let those bodyguards go away?"
Michael Huo was stunned slightly, and was surprised at when she knew it.
