Chapter 204 There's a Baby!

It was already evening when the two returned to the family compound.

There were no streetlights in the residential compound, but Shen Mo could see in the dark as he took a walk holding Jiang Ning's hand.

It's rare to have some free time.

Jiang Ning talked to Shen Mo about the grudges in the Shen family. The relationship between Shen Mo's parents and his second uncle's family was becoming increasingly tense. Shen Mo told Jiang Ning about the rights and wrongs in his family.

Jiang Ning never expected that someone could be so biased. Old Master Shen's treatment of Uncle Shen's family was a masterful scheme.

Her living outside didn't affect them much, but Shen Mo's parents suffered a lot of grievances.

Every family has its own problems, something she had never experienced before, but now she does.

Seeing Jiang Ning's worried expression, Shen Mo comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad have decided to separate the family."

Shen Mo wasn't indifferent to family matters; he had seen his grandfather's attitude towards them.

But the grudges of the previous generation should be resolved by the previous generation, and Shen's parents did not allow him to get involved.

With Shen Mo around, Jiang Ning had nothing to worry about.

Today, Shen's mother cooked a big table of delicious dishes, and Jiang Ning and Shen Mo ate quite a lot. When they got home, Jiang Ning's stomach was still bulging.

Looking at Shen Mo again, his stomach was still flat.

Seeing Jiang Ning staring intently at his stomach, Shen Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, placing it on his stomach.

Touching her well-defined abs, her eyes lit up.

Shen Mo can now tell whether his wife wants to dissect him or genuinely likes his abs.

Seeing how much she liked it, Shen Mo asked, "Wife, do you like it very much?"

Jiang Ning nodded without hesitation.

Shen Mo's physique is even better now than when she first met him.

"Okay, I'll let you touch me as much as you want tonight."

Jiang Ning now knows what he means as soon as he opens his mouth; he has completely lost the awkwardness she had when she first agreed to be with him, the kind that used to make her blush easily.

She started out aloof, but that aloof image was completely shattered later.

The day before July 7th.

Jiang Ning planned to kill a fish to celebrate, and it just so happened that Zhiqi had caught two crucian carp yesterday.

Huo Zhiqi went to scoop the fish out of the small pond, while Jiang Ning was preparing the fish-cleaning tools.

As soon as Zhiqi put the fish on the cutting board, Jiang Ning started gagging as soon as she cut open the fish's belly with a knife.

Zhiqi, who was carrying a basin of water, was startled. He quickly put the basin aside and asked anxiously, "Mom? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine..." Jiang Ning was about to say that she was okay when she smelled the fishy smell and vomited twice.

Jiang Ning had a vague idea about why she felt nauseous.

Before she could speak, Zhiqi brought over some soap and told her to wash her hands first.

Jiang Ning washed her hands with soap, then reached out to check her pulse.

She suddenly remembered that her period hadn't come last month. Her period usually starts around the end of each month, and last month it hadn't come.

When you place your fingers on the Guan, Cun, and Chi pulses, the pulse beats like beads.

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.

She's really pregnant.

She was somewhat surprised but not unexpected. After she said she was willing to have a child, she and Shen Mo hadn't properly avoided pregnancy and had always let things take their course.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Zhiqi said worriedly, "Mom."

Jiang Ning patted his head reassuringly, "Mom's fine, let's do something else. Put the fish aside and let your dad handle it when he gets back."

Huo Zhiqi nodded and immediately moved the fish aside.

While Zhiqi was leaving with the fish, Jiang Ning looked down at her stomach and found it all quite strange.

A strange sense of happiness radiated from her smiling face.

In the present world, she had never thought about being a mother. She had no parents and did not know what it was like to be a mother.

When Shen Mo returned from training, all the groceries at home were ready.

Most of them were handled by Zhiqi.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was not feeling well, the hardworking little bee resolutely prevented her from overworking herself.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Ning stopped arguing with him and, without any qualms, instructed him to prepare the dishes.

She soon felt sleepy again and told Zhiqi to wake her up when Shen Mo returned.

As soon as Shen Mo entered the house, Zhiqi rushed out, saying, "Dad, Mom wasn't feeling well just now."

Shen Mo paused for a moment, then strode into the bedroom.

Seeing his wife sleeping soundly, he reached out and touched her hand, then touched her forehead.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that her complexion was rosy and her breathing was even.

Shen Mo went to cook dinner before returning to the bedroom to wake Jiang Ning.

He didn't want to disturb his wife's sleep, but he was also worried that she might be hungry.

Jiang Ning was woken up, and opened her eyes groggily. Seeing the man in front of her, she asked, "You're back?"

Shen Mo pursed his lips; his girl was too alluring when she was confused.

As if bewitched, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Jiang Ning was woken up by his sticky kisses. Seeing that he seemed to want to continue, she knew that if they kept making a fuss, he would be the one who suffered.

Jiang Ning reached out and covered his lips as they were about to fall, chuckled, and said, "Don't kiss me. I have something important to tell you and Zhiqi."

event?

What important event is it?

Shen Mo felt inexplicably nervous when she heard her say something important.

Jiang Ning sat up from the bed and went to the dining table.

When Zhiqi saw his mother come out, he immediately went to the kitchen and got three bowls of rice.

After serving the rice, Zhiqi sat down to the side and occasionally observed Jiang Ning's expression.

Shen Mo cooked the prepared fish into a delicious fish soup. He took a bowl, filled it with soup, and pushed it in front of Jiang Ning. Then he asked, "Wife, is there anything important you want to tell me and Zhiqi?"

Upon hearing his name called, Zhiqi looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning felt uncomfortable after smelling the fishy smell in the soup. She pushed the bowl away a little and pointed to her stomach, saying—

"There's a baby here."

Shen Mo saw that she didn't want to drink the fish soup, and just as he picked it up to take it away, he paused when he heard this.

Shen Mo was stunned, as if he were frozen in place, with only his eyeballs moving.

His gaze moved downwards, slowly settling on Jiang Ning's flat stomach.

There... is his and his wife's baby there?

Shen Mo asked blankly, "Wife, how...how did you get pregnant?"

He quickly realized what he had said and almost slapped himself.

Shen Mo immediately said, "I misspoke, honey. I meant to ask when you conceived the baby?"

Jiang Ning was amused by his nervous appearance.

She laughed and said, "Less than a month."

She calculated the time, and it was indeed less than a month.

She hadn't reacted much before, but today she suddenly felt nauseous, which made her suspect something, and a pulse reading actually revealed it.

Not only was Shen Mo stunned with joy, but even Zhiqi was dumbfounded.

His gaze shifted downwards, landing on Jiang Ning's lower abdomen.

Does he have a younger brother or sister?

Jiang Ning looked at their identical expressions, then took one big and one small hand and placed them on her stomach.

Her lower abdomen was flat, and she couldn't feel anything at all.

Shen Mo snapped out of his daze, and couldn't help but smile, unable to hide his joy.

He withdrew his hand, afraid that the thick calluses on his hands would rub against Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was puzzled, and Shen Mo explained, "Honey, I'm not very gentle with my hands, I'm afraid of hurting you."

Jiang Ning chuckled, "They're not that fragile."

Zhiqi suddenly withdrew his hand and ran back to his room. Soon he came back with a neat stack of ten-yuan bills in his hand.

This is the allowance his mother gives him every month, and he saves it all.
