Ye Niana's first priority upon opening her eyes was to reclaim her dowry and escape the vampires draining her.—.
In her previous life, her family suffered during the countryside relocat...
Giving birth to three children at once is amazing enough, especially since it happened without any trouble or pain.
Nourished by the spiritual spring water for three years, their bodies were already stronger than ordinary people; perhaps this was the will of Heaven.
In short, she is pregnant, and there's no denying it.
When Ye Nian'an's fingertips traced across his lower abdomen, Chu Yan's breathing suddenly became heavy.
Looking at her husband's tense jawline, she suddenly remembered when she first became pregnant two years ago, he also stared at her growing belly in the same way, his eyes filled with unyielding worry.
"Niannian, what do you plan to do?"
Ye Nian'an poked his furrowed brow with her fingertip: "Silly girl, you're already pregnant, what else can you do? Of course you'll give birth, do you want to abort it?"
"You want to kill these lives that already exist? Let me tell you, I can't do that."
Chu Yan panicked: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I've always respected your choices. I'm just worried about you..."
The process of childbirth is so dangerous, and nine months of pregnancy is exhausting. Chu Yan really couldn't bear to let Ye Nian'an go through it again.
They already have three children, that's enough.
However, the choice is in Ye Nian'an's hands.
She wanted to have the baby, and all Chu Yan could do was offer his support.
"Don't worry, I had three babies before without any problems, so this time will definitely be the same~"
"You should be worried about having more babies. How will you take care of them? It'll be exhausting."
What a sweet and happy trouble!
Chu Yan looked down at her smiling eyes, the moonlight streaming in from the window condensing into fine frost on her eyelashes.
He suddenly remembered the first time they met; she was wearing a floral dress and standing under a camphor tree, her eyes sparkling with the same way that made his heart race for so many years.
Now, after having three children, the woman he loves most is pregnant with their child again...
A warm feeling, unlike anything he had ever experienced, welled up inside Chu Yan.
It flows through my whole body, warm and comforting, and full of power.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Chu Yan suddenly picked her up and carried her horizontally.
"oops."
Ye Nian'an called out, "Be gentle."
She let Chu Yan carry her to the carved bed.
As the curtains fell, his kiss landed on her lower abdomen, and through the thin cotton fabric, it felt as if he could feel the heartbeat of the little life inside her.
"Do Mom and the others know about these things?"
"I haven't had a chance to say it yet, and it's only been a little over a month. I only found out by chance today."
The baby is too small in the womb, and menstruation is normal, so many women don't even realize they are pregnant.
If Ye Nian'an herself weren't a doctor and didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, she wouldn't have been able to feel it at all.
The signs are only noticed when morning sickness or a prolonged missed period.
Chu Yan lowered his head and kissed away the smile from the corner of her eye, speaking softly, "This is good news. Mom and Dad will be very happy to know."
"You sound like you're unhappy? Hmm?"
"I'm happier than anyone else, Niannian. Now that you've made your decision, I will definitely support you."
"That's right~"
When passion was at its peak, his kisses fell lightly and frequently, like spring rain wetting pear blossoms.
Her lips trembled slightly in his palm, their breaths mingling with each other's warmth, even the air rippled with a honey-colored hue.
He stroked her flushed earlobe with his fingertips, about to deepen the kiss—
Ye Nian'an suddenly frowned slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled rapidly twice like butterfly wings.
A sudden sour taste rushed to her throat, and she hurriedly pushed him away, covering her mouth and leaning over the trash can next to the bed to dry heave.
The soft sobs mixed with uncomfortable coughs instantly panicked Chu Yan, who was standing guard beside him.
"Niannian? Are you alright?"
Chu Yan gently massaged her back with his palm, while his other hand quickly gathered up her stray hairs.
After Ye Nian'an finished vomiting, Chu Yan quickly poured her a glass of water from a thermos. After drinking it, she felt much better.
Ye Nian'an leaned against the edge of the table to catch her breath, her voice still hoarse from the pain: "Cough, it's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little nauseous..."
"Could it be morning sickness?"
Chu Yan half-squatted in front of Ye Nian'an, his fingertips gently tracing the corners of her pale lips: "You didn't suffer much when you were pregnant with the three little ones, but this time you're already showing symptoms at only six weeks..."
"Could it be... there are more than three this time?"
Ye Nian'an, feeling both amused and exasperated, touched her still-flat stomach, three black lines appearing on her forehead.
If there were no symptoms during her previous pregnancy with three babies, it means that this time she might be pregnant with four babies instead of three.
Surely it can't be five little ones.
This isn't just being naturally fertile; it's having the constitution of a goddess who can give birth naturally.
A live sow.
Having so many children is really going to be a challenge.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Nian'an was pulled into Chu Yan's arms. He rested his chin on the top of her head and gently shook her, his chest vibrating as he chuckled softly.
"Even if you're quadruplets, I'll still spoil you all rotten, but I only ask one thing... that the baby in your belly doesn't cause your mother too much trouble."
"You're not only torturing your own mother, you're also torturing your own father."
Now that Ye Nian'an had decided to have the baby, Chu Yan naturally wouldn't say anything more to spoil the mood.
All he could do was to be as considerate and gentle as Ye Nian'an was when she gave birth for the first time, taking meticulous care of her and staying by her side to get through the most difficult time together.
Watching the baby in my belly be born safely and grow up, just like the big one, the second one, and the third one.
The room was filled with a warm and cozy feeling because of this unexpected little incident.
Ye Nian'an nestled against Chu Yan's shoulder and rubbed against him.
Suddenly, I felt that even if I really had to face the sweet burden of "many children, many blessings," having such a pair of arms around me didn't seem so scary.
The next day.
During breakfast, Ye Nian'an told her family about this joyous occasion.
Chu Xin'er was overjoyed: "Oh my, sister-in-law is pregnant again so soon? This is great news, Dad. Every time sister-in-law gives birth to a baby, it brings good luck to our family. Maybe this time you and brother will be reinstated after the New Year."
Chu Zhenyuan laughed until his eyes crinkled with wrinkles: "Yeah, looks like I'm going to be a grandfather again. The family's already lively with all those big ones and small ones, ten or eight more would be great! Hahaha~"
