Chapter 294 Waiting Under the Peach Tree

Spring is here.

The peach tree in courtyard number 1 has blossomed, a lovely pink tree, and when the wind blows, the petals drift all over the courtyard.

Su Wantang stood under the tree, looking up at the flowers. She held a watering can in her hand and was watering the roots of the tree.

She planted the tree herself a month ago. At the time, Lu Jingyan laughed at her, saying it wasn't the right season and the tree wouldn't survive.

As a result, it's now doing better than anyone else's.

"Finished watering?"

Lu Jingyan came out of the house, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

Su Wantang put down the kettle. "Mm."

Lu Jingyan walked over and handed her the tea. "Have some."

Su Wantang took it and took a sip. It was the red date and goji berry tea she had been drinking lately; it was warm and sweet.

Lu Jingyan carried a reclining chair out of the house and placed it under the tree.

"come over."

Su Wantang walked over, and Lu Jingyan was already lying down, reaching out his hand to her.

Su Wantang laughed, "What are you trying to do?"

"Let's sunbathe," Lu Jingyan said. "Together."

Su Wantang glanced at him, then at the recliner.

"There's not enough room."

"Give it a try."

Su Wantang hesitated for a moment, but still got on.

Lu Jingyan pulled her into his arms, and the two of them squeezed together on the recliner.

Pink flowers adorn her head, and a warm bosom surrounds her back.

Su Wantang leaned against him and closed her eyes.

The sun felt warm and cozy on my skin.

For the past month, she has been taking medicinal baths and eating medicinal meals every day, and her health has improved considerably.

My complexion is rosy, my hands and feet are no longer cold, and I can even sleep soundly.

Lu Jingyan placed his hand on her lower abdomen and gently massaged it.

How are you feeling?

Su Wantang didn't open her eyes. "It's fine."

Lu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"Zhang Lan's baby is already three months old."

Su Wantang opened her eyes. "Are you urging me to hurry up?"

"I won't rush you," Lu Jingyan said. "It's just... I'm a little looking forward to it."

Su Wantang smiled, turned around, and faced him.

What are you expecting?

"Looking forward to our little one," Lu Jingyan said, nuzzling her face with his chin. "Boy or girl, it's fine."

Su Wantang looked at him, her eyes full of smiles.

"Aren't you afraid of ending up like you?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Bad temper."

Lu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Then it's up to you."

Su Wantang hooked her arm around his neck and leaned closer to him.

"I also have a bad temper."

"Then it's up to me."

The two were very close, their breaths mingling.

Peach blossoms fell from above, landing on their hair.

Lu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Gentle and restrained.

Su Wantang closed her eyes and responded to him.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the treetops.

After kissing for a long time, Lu Jingyan released her, his forehead pressed against hers.

"Wantang".

"Um?"

Are you ready?

Su Wantang looked at him, her eyes shining.

"What are you preparing?"

"Welcome our little one."

Su Wantang didn't speak, she just smiled.

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling the warmth there.

I've never felt so healthy.

Health from the inside out, vitality from the inside out.

She could feel that life force surging within her.

"You said..." Su Wantang looked up at him, "Will it be a boy or a girl?"

Lu Jingyan thought for a moment, "A girl, I guess."

"Why?"

"Looks like you."

Su Wantang laughed, "Aren't you afraid she'll inherit my temper?"

"Don't be afraid," Lu Jingyan said. "It's good that she has a big temper; no one will dare to bully her in the future."

Su Wantang laughed even harder.

She leaned against him, looking at the peach blossoms overhead.

"I'd rather it were a boy."

"Why?"

"Your temper is just like yours," Su Wantang said. "You're protective of your sister."

Lu Jingyan was stunned for a moment.

"Then let's have two."

Su Wantang blushed. "You wish."

Lu Jingyan smiled and hugged her tightly.

"Let's start with one and see how it goes."

The two of them just hugged each other and basked in the sun.

The peach blossoms in the courtyard fell one by one, landing on them.

Pink and soft.

Su Wantang closed her eyes, savoring the tranquility.

She had never felt so at ease in her entire life.

In my past life, I was plagued by illness, and every time I opened my eyes, I wondered if I could survive the day.

Having transmigrated here, I'm faced with all sorts of scheming and struggles.

But now, she leans against Lu Jingyan's chest, peach blossoms above her head, her lover beside her.

She felt that her life had been worthwhile.

As the sun slowly dipped westward, the light in the courtyard softened.

Lu Jingyan held Su Wantang in his arms, without moving.

He looked down at her; she was already asleep.

He had a faint smile on his face and his breathing was steady.

Lu Jingyan reached out and gently brushed away the stray hairs from her forehead.

She has changed a lot in the past month.

Not only my body, but my mental state is different too.

I used to be always on edge and on guard.

Now I feel relaxed and supple.

Lu Jingyan knew that this was because she had finally believed that she would get better.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

"Wantang".

He spoke very softly, afraid of waking her.

"Wait for me."

Su Wantang woke up at night.

She opened her eyes and found herself already in bed.

Lu Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her.

"woke up?"

Su Wantang sat up. "Did I sleep for a long time?"

“Not long,” Lu Jingyan said, “just over an hour.”

Su Wantang rubbed her eyes. "Why didn't you call me?"

"I can't bear to part with it."

Su Wantang smiled.

Lu Jingyan stood up. "Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."

Su Wantang took his hand. "I'm not hungry."

Lu Jingyan looked at her, "Then..."

Su Wantang didn't speak, she just looked at him.

His eyes were bright, filled with an indescribable expectation.

Lu Jingyan paused for a moment, then understood.

He sat back down on the edge of the bed and placed his hand on her lower abdomen.

"today?"

Su Wantang nodded.

Lu Jingyan took a deep breath. "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Lu Jingyan looked at her, his gaze becoming very deep.

He leaned down and kissed her lips.

This kiss was different.

Gentle, devout.

Su Wantang closed her eyes and responded to him.

Lu Jingyan's hand slid from her lower abdomen to her waist, the movement very light and slow.

He unbuttoned her clothes, one button at a time, very patiently.

Su Wantang's breathing became rapid.

She hooked her arms around his neck and snuggled into his embrace.

Lu Jingyan hugged her tightly and rolled over to press himself against her.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, shining on them.

Lu Jingyan looked at her with gentle eyes.

"Wantang".

"Um."

"I will be very gentle."

Su Wantang laughed, her face turning bright red.

"You are naturally gentle."

Lu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed her lips.

He was indeed very gentle that night.

Su Wantang nestled in his arms, feeling the tenderness within her.

She closed her eyes and placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

It's warm and safe there.

She could feel a wonderful, warm current of life quietly growing within her.

She had a strong premonition.

Their child is coming.
