Chapter 22 Part 1
After Yan Shiting and Jiang Yue left, Yu Li finished his breakfast porridge and tidied up the dining table.
He didn't look around carefully last night, and now Yu Li took a closer look at the layout of the living room.
In the northeast corner of the spacious living room, there was a large office desk, with two computers on it and a neatly stacked pile of books.
Behind the office desk was a rosewood bookshelf, with a few narrow compartments holding a few potted plants.
The plants were in good condition, so it seemed that someone had been taking care of them regularly.
Apart from that, there was not much lively decor in this set of house.
The floor tiles were dark gray, and most of the furniture was black, or perhaps the only bright color in the entire house was the white walls.
Although it had a domineering CEO feel, it seemed a bit too oppressive.
Yu Li silently retracted his gaze.
While he was inspecting, the door lock suddenly made the sound of unlocking.
Yu Li thought it was Yan Shiting again, but when he turned around, he saw that it was Butler He who walked in.
"Uncle Hè?"
"Young Master Yu?"
Both of them were stunned.
Yu Li felt a bit nervous.
He was in Yan Shiting's house, and not invited by Yan Shiting, so anyone would find it strange, right?
He didn't know if this fell under the "anything" Yan Shiting had mentioned, and hesitated whether he should call Yan Shiting.
After being stunned for about tens of seconds, Butler He asked, "Young Master Yu, how come you are here..."
Yu Li gripped the hem of his clothes, trying to figure out how to answer.
However, Butler He paused and did not finish the sentence.
He glanced around and asked, "Is the young master not here?"
Yu Li explained, "He went to attend a charity art exhibition today, and has left with Jiang Assistant."
Butler He nodded.
The atmosphere became quiet, and the two looked at each other without speaking.
After a while, Butler He explained the reason he came here: "The QT brand's new autumn collection has been released, and I'll be bringing the finished garments over for the young master later. I came early to wait."
Yu Li hesitated and also wanted to explain why he was here: "I..."
As he was about to speak, Butler He smiled and said, "It's okay, Young Master Yu, I know the young master brought you here, you don't need to specially explain anything to me."
Since Yan Shiting brought Yu Li here, it meant something had happened between the two of them.
These were the young master's private matters, so why bother telling him.
Yu Li was stunned, seeing the friendly smile on Butler He's face, and gradually relaxed, abandoning the idea of calling Yan Shiting.
A little past 10 o'clock, the people from the QT brand came to deliver the clothes.
Butler He directed them to hang the clothes in the wardrobe, and in the meantime, he also ordered some fruit delivery and made a fresh fruit juice for Yu Li.
Holding the sour and sweet fruit juice, Yu Li watched them busy.
One by one, the dark-colored clothes were hung in the wardrobe, matching the black cabinets, making the environment even more gloomy.
Yu Li bit the straw tightly, lowering his eyes to conceal the expression in his eyes.
After the clothes delivery people left, worried that Yu Li would be bored alone in the house, Butler He stayed to keep him company.
Around noon, just as Butler He had finished ordering lunch, Yu Li received a takeout call.
It was still the takeout that Yan Shiting had ordered for him.
Butler He helped him bring it upstairs.
Opening the takeout bag, Yu Li saw a box of cranberries under the food, and Butler He's eyes showed a bit of puzzlement.
But he didn't say anything, so Yu Li didn't notice.
Butler He set up the meal, and smiled, "Looking at this takeout bag, this should be a private kitchen that the young master frequents. I remember the chef there once said his ancestors were imperial chefs, I don't know if it's true. But the culinary skills are indeed quite good."
"That chef doesn't have a menu, he just cooks whatever the guests order. He can do all eight cuisines. But he has a strange personality, if you don't order by dish name, he won't take the order."
Listening to Butler He's introduction, Yu Li's grip on the chopsticks tightened.
It's not that he was shocked by how skilled the chef was.
He just suddenly realized that in these past few days, his morning sickness symptoms had been much lighter than the day he discovered he was pregnant.
He knew Yan Shiting put thought into the takeout he ordered, but he originally thought he just picked a good restaurant and ordered light dishes from the menu.
He didn't expect it to be even more thoughtful than that.
Yu Li lowered his eyes, looking at the food in front of him.
Today's dishes were different from the previous few days, and he had already eaten various dishes in the past few days.
So when Yan Shiting ordered these dishes, did he also specially go and learn about the tastes and menus for pregnant people?
Yu Li's gaze dropped, tightening his lips and silently looking at his own belly.
As the other father of the child, Yan Shiting was diligently taking on the responsibility.
But him...
He hadn't even thought about facing his own responsibility.

After lunch, Yu Li felt sleepy and went to the bedroom to take a nap.
After becoming pregnant, he slept more, and usually slept for a long time.
When he woke up, it was almost dinner time.
After dinner, Butler He went back to the Yan family villa.
The house became quiet and empty again.
Yu Li sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside.
This residential area was located in the bustling city center, and from the high floors, one could overlook the most beautiful river view of Y City, as well as the prosperous street scene.
Yu Li looked for a while, then turned back and looked at the gloomy and oppressive living room.
He wondered if when Yan Shiting was here, he would also go look out at the scenery like him.
When looking at the scenery, what kind of mood was he in?
