Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Are You Happy?
“`
Every time he thought about the fact that his wife didn’t even know she was pregnant, let alone that it was fine she didn’t know; she was still a young girl after all! But he himself didn’t know either, even though he always kept track of her menstrual cycle, and yet, he still managed to forget.
This made Zhou Hengyang feel very self-reproachful. He had always wanted Wen Wen to have a baby for them, and now that the baby was on the way, he felt utterly incompetent as a soon-to-be father.
He hadn’t taken good care of his wife, let alone the baby.
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, for some reason, Zhou Hengyang’s eyes reddened slightly, and the sight of him pressing his thin lips together made others feel a pang of discomfort in their hearts as well.
Grandpa Qi was even more stunned. He glanced at Zhou Hengyang and then at Su Wen who showed little reaction, thinking to himself how odd this young couple was.
“Is there anything else?”
“Anything else?” Grandpa Qi’s eyes widened in confusion. After thinking for a bit, he said a lot of professional jargon, which finally provoked Zhou Hengyang to say, “Speak human.”
Grandpa Qi’s eyes bulged, “…”
Was this young man always so domineering?
“Ahem… Also, no marital relations during the first three months.” Grandpa Qi turned his head away uncomfortably and couldn’t help but glance at Zhou Hengyang again, “What kind of physique do you have, boy? You could spar with your uncle in your teens, and a dozen men couldn’t get close to you. How old is your wife? She’s so thin, a gust of wind could blow her away; how could she withstand you…”
Zhou Hengyang’s handsome face blushed, spreading from his ear tips all the way to his neck as he interrupted uncomfortably, “I get it.”
“Oh!”
“It’s not serious, treatment is timely. Just eat some mild pregnancy-preserving medicine and you’ll be fine. Don’t touch Western medicine, and common meds like cold remedies and fever reducers are off-limits too; they’re not good for the fetus. And now, since she’s pregnant, nutrition is doubly important—she needs to keep up, even if she has no appet.i.te. She still needs to eat something, like fruits, milk…”
Grandpa Qi rambled on and on. Zhou Hengyang took notes in a little notebook, his face the picture of seriousness.
Su Wen was dumbfounded.
Why did something feel off?
Subconsciously, she covered her stomach with her hand. Thinking of the little life inside, the corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously.
Before she crossed over, she spent every day busy with work, earning money. The rare leisure time she had wasn’t even enough, so how could there have been any energy left for dating?
The longer one dwelled in the professional world, the less one entertained fantasies about love.
In the workplace, a vast vat of society where use and be used is the norm, everyone vied for gain, position, salary, through underhanded tactics. Love was scarce; she never imagined she would have the chance to experience it.
Now that she had Hengyang, Su Wen felt her nose tingle, but her heart was warm and sweet.
Feeling the flatness of her stomach with the palm of her hand, although there was no sensation yet, the small life was already present, a child of hers and Hengyang’s.
Nothing could dissolve the bitterness in her heart better than the arrival of a new life. Right after she found out all that had happened to her father, Su Xuewen, she was. .h.i.t with the joyous new life.
If her father, Su Xuewen, knew, he would be happy too.
Su Wen’s heart surged with happiness, a sense of unfamiliarity, and a slight nervousness.
By the time she came to, Grandpa Qi had already left with his medicine box, and Zhou Hengyang was carefully lifting her up horizontally and carrying her back to the room. He gently placed her on the bed and meticulously tucked in the blanket.
“No need,” Su Wen came to her senses, feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed by Zhou Hengyang’s extreme carefulness, but her heart was sweet. “Was I ever so fragile? When I was in the village, I did more work than now.”
Zhou Hengyang felt even more distressed and self-reproachful, “It’s my fault. I didn’t treat you well before, was cold and reluctant to interact with you. I swear it won’t happen again, I…”
“Stop!” Su Wen immediately covered his lips with her hand, stopping him from continuing, “Don’t say any more. Aren’t you happy we have a baby now? I’m carrying your child, you’re happy, right? Isn’t this what you wanted, for me to have a baby for you?”
