Yang Jingwei picked up the scissors on the desk.
Snip—a single cut, directly shortening all the branches from the base.
"Liu He, oh Liu He, without the Second Young Master, what are you really?"
Bai Ruoshu was startled and asked, "Mom, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Yang Jingwei raised her index finger to her lips.
"Shh, just wait a bit longer."
Bai Ruoshu didn’t know what she was waiting for and could only stand quietly to the side.
It was hard to tell how long had passed.
The phone on the flower rack rang.
Yang Jingwei answered the call.
Whatever was said on the other end, a smile curved at the corner of her mouth.
"The nutrient soil for my garden needs to be transported."
Bai Ruoshu listened, completely confused.
"Mom, how can you still have the mind to deal with these things?"
"Ruoshu, don’t be too hasty. Do you know how much nutrient soil our garden needs?" Yang Jingwei countered.
Bai Ruoshu instinctively looked toward the garden and noticed traces of disturbance among the flowers.
Nutrient soil?
For such a large plot, a truckload might not be enough.
But the transportation...
Bai Ruoshu was about to laugh but was left a bit puzzled.
"Mom, this soil can’t even be transported into the hospital."
"Why bother?"
Yang Jingwei forcefully stabbed the scissors into the soil.
...
In the hospital.
Liu He finished her inpatient examination and felt a bit drowsy.
Just as she planned to take a nap, having just closed her eyes, she felt someone touching her belly.
Liu He abruptly opened her eyes, staring intently at the person in front of her.
It was a feeling akin to a dream yet not.
"You..."
"Long time no see, Second Madam."
Yang Jingwei blinked, placing the flowers she held at the foot of the bed.
Liu He looked at the bouquet—a very retro wrapping style, with flowers not particularly liked by people nowadays.
Baby’s breath, red roses, interspersed with two lilies.
Lilies were flowers Liu He very much loved.
Her lips trembled, yet she dared not move recklessly.
Because Yang Jingwei’s hand was still on her belly.
"Mrs. Bai, what are you up to?"
"I heard you were hospitalized, and since I was nearby, I came to see you." Yang Jingwei smiled, pointing at the bouquet, "Your favorite."
"..."
Liu He was stunned.
She instinctively wanted to call for someone, but Yang Jingwei made a gesture with a smile.
"Don’t shout, they’ve just stepped out briefly, besides in a place with so many people, what can I do to you?"
"We’ve known each other for years, let’s just catch up."
With that, Yang Jingwei sat down beside the bed.
Positioned just right, facing Liu He’s stomach.
"Second Madam, it feels nice to have children, doesn’t it?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Liu He took the chance to sit up, protecting her belly.
Yang Jingwei wasn’t wrong, there were doctors and nurses all around; she dared not do anything.
But Liu He, timid by nature, didn’t dare openly resist.
One could say Yang Jingwei had her completely figured out.
"Second Madam, don’t play dumb, you know exactly what I’m talking about."
"..."
Liu He held her breath, not saying a word.
Yang Jingwei took the bouquet and started putting flowers into the vase at the bedside.
Chatting as she arranged them.
From the outside, they appeared as close friends and confidantes.
