Then, Zhuang Nainai was rather taken aback as her eyes widened in an instant.
As Ding Mengya was afraid that something bad would happen to her, she looked over anxiously and even took two steps, leaving the couch.
The scarf was placed on her legs, so as soon as she moved away, the thing on the couch was revealed in front of everyone immediately.
It wasn’t a s.e.x doll at all. That round thing was the head of a teddy bear, the two things that resembled legs were two big bolsters, and the thing protruding in the middle was a ball of thread. The teddy bear was wearing a sweater that was awkwardly positioned. The st.i.tching of the sweater was rather loose, and it was obvious that an amateur had knitted it.
Baby products, both old and new, were scattered across the entire couch.
Upon seeing the items on the couch, Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting finally noticed that the display of the surroundings seemed to have changed slightly. The room was quite messy, and there were many photos of Si Jingyu, Si Zhengting, and Ding Mengya lying on the table.
It was obvious that the old toys lying in the corner of the house had been cleaned and washed.
After seeing this, Zhuang Nainai seemed to have realized something. Suddenly, Zhuang Nainai felt bitter.
Compared to Zhuang Nainai, Si Zhengting caught on to more details. Having seen the teddy bear’s sweater and the needle and thread that were placed messily on the bolsters, he looked at Ding Mengya’s hands subconsciously.
Ding Mengya sensed his gaze and put her hands behind her back hurriedly before laughing foolishly at Si Zhengting.
Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed as he took a step forward. “What happened to your hands?”
Ding Mengya answered in a panic, “Nothing. I was bored, so I took out the toys you guys had when you guys were young. They are taking too much s.p.a.ce. If you guys don’t like them, I’m planning to sell them!”
Sell them? Why did she clean them, then?
Sell them? Why did she buy new toys, then?
Sell them? Why was she being secretive, then? Was she scared that they would see it?
Zhuang Nainai understood that all of these were for her children.
Standing in her original spot, she looked at Ding Mengya intently.
Ever since she found out that Ding Mengya would go and listen to the children’s heartbeat and see their ultrasound scan whenever she took maternity leave, she had actually been going to the hospital for future check-ups. The two of them seemed to have established some sort of consensus.
She would not stop Madam Ding from finding out news of the children, and Madam Ding would not appear in her life and drain her emotionally.
She had been controlling her emotions very well. She had never told her what to do with the children nor sent her anything that could put her in a spot, hesitating whether to use them or not.
Her thoughtfulness had already moved Zhuang Nainai. However, whatever she had done did not move her as much as what she saw now.
She clearly wouldn’t send her these. She also clearly knew that she might not even let the children wear whatever she had gotten them, but she had still prepared them silently.
In the s.p.a.cious villa, she was all alone. In the entire room, there were traces of children’s toys everywhere. She had even pasted protective strips on the coffee table even though the children were not born yet. Perhaps, after they were born, they wouldn’t even come here to play.
Her good intentions warmed Zhuang Nainai’s heart, but her heart became heavy.
She pursed her lips and looked over at Si Zhengting, only to see him walk over and tug Ding Mengya’s hand from behind her back stubbornly. Zhuang Nainai could see clearly that her fingers looked like they had been p.r.i.c.ked countless times. One of her fingers had even swelled up.
