1090: Are You Pregnant?

Are You Pregnant?

"Today is Xuning's big day. Everyone is happy for him. I am also very happy."1

The matriarch raised her glass and drank to a toast. She turned to Ye Linlang and said, "Linlang, you are a good woman. Thank you for giving Xuning such a beautiful daughter like Tianxin. His father did you wrong in the past. Since he is my son, I will censure him. Please do not hold it against Xuning. You must be happy together. You are still young. Maybe you could give me a great-grandson before I die."

Strictly speaking, there were five generations in the Xie family.

The matriarch was known to be a very blessed person in the capital.

"I will try my best." Xie Xuning grinned.

The matriarch quipped, "Don't try. You must."

She looked around the room and did not see Ye Tianxin. She asked Ye Linlang, "Where is Tianxin?"

"I'm here."

Ye Tianxin felt very refreshed after taking a nap. She walked to the table and sat beside Ye Linlang after greeting her great-grandmother.

The matriarch bitterly complained, "You little brat. Why didn't you come and keep me company?"

Ye Tianxin wiped her hands with the towel and replied apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I've been rather busy lately. If you don't mind, I will come and play mahjong with you during New Year."

"All right. Don't cry if you lose."

The matriarch laughed heartily. Now that Xie Xuning was happily settled down, she had one less worry in her mind.

It used to bother him that he was single. Now that he had married Ye Linlang, she was sure they would live happily from now on.

"All right, let's dig in."

Xie Xuning took a bun for the matriarch, who told him. "Help me take one for your wife."

"Of course." Xie Xuning took one piece for Ye Linlang who looked respectfully at the matriarch. "Thank you, Grandma."

She pried open the bun. The smell of the meat was overpowering suddenly made her feel nauseous.

Ye Linlang was dumbstruck. She tried counting the days when she suddenly dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Xie Xuning noticed Ye Linlang's reaction and got worried.

Ye Linlang shook her head. "Nothing."

Xie Xuning thought that Ye Linlang did not like the taste of the bun. He took the bun from her plate and put it on his own plate.

"Come, drink some of the fish soup."

The fish used to cook the soup was bought from a freshwater lake outside of the capital, giving the soup a milky color.

Xie Xuning scooped a bowl for Ye Linlang. Before he could place the bowl in front of her, Ye Linlang quickly covered her mouth and stood up. She quickly excused herself to go to the washroom.

Ye Tianxin was startled. She looked at Ye Linlang and wondered to herself.

Could her mother be pregnant? How is that possible?

Only Xie Xuning was clueless. He was a man, after all; he did not understand such matters.

"Mother, are you pregnant?"

Ye Tianxin had followed Ye Linlang to the washroom. Ye Linlang had her head lowered to the sink. Ye Tianxin took the opportunity to ask her mother.

Ye Linlang rinsed her mouth. She hesitated before replying, "I don't know."

Ye Linlang was not prepared to have a child. Hence, said she was unable to reply with confidence.

However, she was most familiar with her own body and knew her body constitution well enough.

Some women got nauseous one month into their pregnancy, while others never had morning sickness throughout their pregnancy.

Ye Linlang's body had always been sensitive. Is it possible that she may have morning sickness throughout her pregnancy?
