Chapter 300 Too Much Imitation
In a short period of time, Hollandpur's commercial district has taken shape. Mr. Halbus is a very competent manager. Jiang Yu hardly has to worry about anything, and all commercial activities are carried out in an orderly manner.
Everything unfolded slowly according to Jiang Yu's original plan.
Those merchants who had previously hesitated or withdrawn saw that the shops opened by Hollandpur gradually formed an industrial chain in a very short time, generating enviable ripple and chain-like profits.
With the empire's unwavering support, and the increasingly powerful backgrounds behind Jiang Yu gradually emerging, the merchants, like flies drawn to meat, began to exert all their efforts to contact and join him.
Jiang Yu entrusted this matter entirely to Mr. Halbus.
Apart from the first group of businessmen who offered timely help and remained steadfast in their support, the second group and those who joined later were no longer worth her personal contact with.
Lin Yi's child was more well-behaved than she had imagined, not making a fuss at all in her belly, and seemed completely different from the father.
But this was Jiang Yu's first child, so she was naturally very careful and cherished it. She almost stopped working and devoted all her energy to taking care of the pregnancy.
Fan Qingyin seemed even more nervous than her, personally taking over the kitchen menu and strictly controlling all the ingredients, fearing that they might have some adverse effects on her health.
Jiang Yu once wondered why Fan Qingyin was being too careful and concerned about her pregnancy. Fan Qingyin replied, "I only care about your health. I can't let the baby affect your nutrition. I control your diet because I'm afraid you'll feel unwell because of the fetus. As for the baby in your belly, it's just that I'm taking care of it because of you. I don't need to worry about it so much. With the blessing of the Fertility Fruit, it won't be too fragile."
That was a very cold and hard answer.
The divine messenger disdained to express his affection for the unborn child to please Jiang Yu. He only cared about her from beginning to end. Jiang Yu had reason to believe that even if the child in her womb was Fan Qingyin's, he would still give such a response entirely from her perspective.
Moa would also bring back rare nutrients from the deep sea, and carefully retract his cold tentacles to ensure that every embrace was warm.
On this day, as Jiang Yu was enjoying the newly developed delicacies made from sacred lotus and marine treasures, Lin Yi finally returned.
Before he even entered the door, Shaka's joyful and excited chirping echoed throughout the courtyard. Jiang Yu put down the spoon in his hand and opened his eyes wide with excitement.
This guy came back on his own again without even sending a message.
They all knew he was due for a vacation, but they hadn't received a letter from him yet, so they weren't sure of the exact dates of his vacation.
He still went his own way and came back on his own.
Lin Yi was still the same impetuous young man he had been long ago. He practically rushed up to Jiang Yu the moment she stood up, leaning on the table.
The only difference was that he was more cautious this time and stopped abruptly, unlike before when he would recklessly pull the person into his arms.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..." When Lin Yi arrived in front of his wife, he didn't know what to say except to call her. He rubbed his fingers together, but still couldn't control himself. He raised his hand and gently pulled her into his arms.
He wanted to ask about the child, but felt it wasn't appropriate, as if he were only thinking about the child. He wanted to say "thank you for your hard work," but felt that his late return meant he had already missed out, and that it would be pointless to say anything.
So he stammered for a long time before finally managing to explain, "I...I remembered to change into softer clothes."
He still remembered how his armor had once pricked her.
Jiang Yu was both happy that he was back and amused by his cautious manner. She reached out and hugged Lin Yi's waist, nuzzling her cheek against his chest in a comforting gesture.
"You're finally back," Jiang Yu sighed. "I missed you so much."
She then pulled Lin Yi's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen: "Although it's still flat now, it's right here."
It's hard to describe Lin Yi's feeling at that moment. The little life inside him was clearly not responding at all, but when his hand was on Jiang Yu's lower abdomen, he could feel a faint connection. It was metaphysics, or perhaps some kind of spiritual suggestion.
Lin Yi, who is usually lively and energetic, became unusually restrained. Jiang Yu watched in surprise as he sat calmly by the window reading documents, holding a teacup and speaking slowly. Even the usual glittering gold accessories on his clothes had disappeared.
Fan Qingyin, who was also sitting by the window reading official documents, raised an eyebrow: "?"
This state continued until bedtime.
Jiang Yu sat on the bed reading a book, while Lin Yi carefully lay down on her lap. She saw that his eyes were closed and knew that he was tired from riding a griffin for a long time. She reached out and gently touched his hair. After not seeing him for a while, his blond hair had grown quite a bit, and the length of the hair at the back of his head was almost like a long wolf tail.
Lin Yi woke up the moment she touched his hair, but he didn't open his eyes. He just rubbed his cheek against her and let out a muffled moan.
So cute. Jiang Yu wanted to hug the fluffy head and kiss it, but knowing he was listening, she asked, "Why do you seem like a different person since you came back? You've suddenly become much more mature and composed~"
It was just a joke, but it resulted in a soft whimper from the puppy on my lap.
"Hmph, I'm just trying to set a good example for my child. I need to let this kid know that his father is a steady and reliable man."
It was hard not to laugh, and Jiang Yu did indeed burst out laughing.
Lin Yi immediately straightened up, and asked somewhat hesitantly, "What, was my acting too obvious? I admit I was somewhat imitating..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yu leaned in and bit his lip.
"Hmm..." Lin Yi swallowed the rest of his words before he could finish. His pupils dilated instantly. Jiang Yu saw his silly look and mischievously licked him again, squinting at him: "I like you no matter what. I hope the child is as sunny and lively as you."
Lin Yi's golden ahoge (cowlick) stood up instantly, and if he had a big tail, it would probably be wobbling like a propeller by now. He let out a "woof~" and pounced on Jiang Yu, knocking her down onto the bed before realizing what had happened. He then panicked and repeatedly asked if he had crushed her.
Jiang Yu then hugged his neck, preventing him from getting up: "It's okay, don't be so nervous. I missed you so much, let me hug you~"
