Luo Zhongyong, a grown man, felt somewhat embarrassed sitting there listening to these women talk about giving birth.
He thought about turning around and leaving, but when he saw Zhou Yunmei directing her gaze towards Fang Pingying’s belly, he worried that Zhou Yunmei might ask Fang Pingying some inappropriate questions in front of others, making her uncomfortable.

Fang Pingying probably understood a bit of what was on Luo Zhiyong’s mind. She smiled gently, feeling extremely sweet inside.
For a man to be so considerate and think of such details was enough to touch her heart.

Qiu Xiu immediately perked up at the mention of something to take home, stopping the previous topic and asked with a smile, "Hawthorn jam, what is that?"
She suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Could it be made from those hawthorns you picked in the village the other day?"
