Chapter 1378: Extra Episode Twelve: Cleverness and Stupidity
After their heart-to-heart that night, Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan’s relationship had returned to its usual harmony. The only drawback was Mo Yan’s still-unstable mood, which became particularly terrible when her morning sickness worsened, causing her to vomit almost everything she ate.
Fortunately, she had her Space. Whenever Mo Yan couldn’t help but want to lose her temper, she would send all the maids out of the room, then retreat to the Space to distract herself with activities she enjoyed. Once her mood improved, she would reemerge, making sure not to project her foul mood onto others.
She thought this approach was very effective, except that her inability to eat was wearing her down.
Mo Yan had not failed to think of ways to alleviate her nausea, but given her unique constitution, which made her immune to many medicines, remedies were ineffective and she dared not use them recklessly. The pickled sour plums she had prepared herself did nothing to help, and she could barely manage to drink honey water, as long as she did not drink too much at a time to avoid vomiting it back out.
Even though honey water was sweet, it wasn’t filling, and after a few days, Mo Yan grew tired of it, longing for the taste of various delicious snacks. But even the stinky tofu that had been offered to her made her throw up at the mere smell, so no one dared to present it to her anymore.
Every time Xiao Ruiyuan saw Mo Yan unable to eat anything or even vomiting at the smell of food, he was distressed beyond words. His own appetite disappeared, wishing he could suffer in her stead.
Regrettably, being a man, he could not take Mo Yan’s place in being pregnant, so he could only dispatch his people to look for remedies for the morning sickness while also searching for fresh foods, hoping to find something that suited Mo Yan’s palate.
During the second month of her pregnancy, Mo Yan suffered greatly from morning sickness and lost weight. Xiao Ruiyuan, who was concerned about her, also started losing his appetite. At night, the sound of Mo Yan vomiting made it hard for him to sleep, and over a month, he lost even more weight than Mo Yan.
