1882: Don't Mind Either Way

Don't Mind Either Way

Jiang Yao turned her head to see Lu Xingzhi's brow wrinkled slightly. When Jiang Yao saw how nervous he was, she laughed and said, "Don't be nervous. Children are not like tofu, which may break with the slightest touch. Don't be too protective of me. I will feel uncomfortable. Other than paying attention to some food, I don't need any special care right now."1

Jiang Yao, a doctor, was aware of the care needed during pregnancy. She knew she was extremely fortunate. She did not eat anything that pregnant women were not supposed to eat.

"But we can't do that anymore before the second trimester!"

Jiang Yao touched the tip of her nose. She had not thought about pregnancy before, so she and Lu Xingzhi did not stop their intimacy.

Fortunately, Lu Xingzhi was concerned that she would not be able to tolerate it during the journey, so he restrained himself.

Of course, Jiang Yao had to admit that the baby in her stomach was really stubborn.

"Okay."

Even though Lu Xingzhi felt that it was a pity that he could not touch his wife like that, he was excited about the new life that would arrive in seven months.

Jiang Yao yawned, took off her slippers, and returned to the bed. When Lu Xingzhi lay beside her, she leaned into his arms and quickly fell asleep in a few seconds.

A pregnant woman had a great appetite and needed rest.

However, Lu Xingzhi could not fall asleep for a long time. The excitement in his heart still had not subsided.

When he married her, he had fantasized about that day, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

After falling asleep, she was very quiet. She did not act coquettishly, nor was she afraid of itchiness. His hand went under her pajamas and stayed on her lower abdomen without any hindrance. He used his palm to feel the presence of the child carefully.

It was a pity that her lower abdomen was flat.

However, Lu Xingzhi still could not bear to take his hand back. Although he could not feel the child, he knew that the child was there, so he began to imagine what the child would look like after the baby was born.

He hoped that it would be a boy, and he would teach the child to be a man, tall and strong. Then, she could give birth to a baby girl. That way, his daughter would have a brother to protect her, as Jiang Yao did.

A boy could be like him, or he could be like her.

No matter what, it would be fine.

It would be fine as long as it was their baby.

If his first child were a daughter, Lu Xingzhi would not be disappointed either. He could also teach his son to take good care of his older sister.

He would not mind either way.

The following day, the Jiang family received word that Jiang Yao was pregnant. They knew that Jiang Yao had returned to the Lu family. After breakfast, her parents brought a lot of vegetables to the Lu family.

When Mr. and Mrs. Jiang arrived, Lu Xiaoxiao, who had slept in, heard the news. She was trying hard to digest the information that no one was accompanying her to lose weight.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to lose weight in the future. Losing weight is my business now." Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. Why was she envious of pregnant women? Pregnant women could stay fat and eat like crazy.

Her sister-in-law was pregnant, so she had gained weight. Lu Xiaoxiao was fat because she ate too much.

"It's okay even if you don't lose weight. My daughter is beautiful no matter what." Although Second Uncle Lu always teased Lu Xiaoxiao that she was fat, he did not think there was anything wrong with being a little plump. He felt he should advise her since she was home to lose some weight.
