Chapter 120 Pregnancy

Zhu Wendong became pregnant three years later.

She was actually quite calm about the pregnancy, because she did not experience morning sickness or loss of appetite in the first three months of pregnancy.

Why not?

Because all these symptoms happened to Qi Yanxue.

Strangely enough, the first time he discovered that something was wrong was after a meal. Zhu Wendong was eating well as usual when suddenly he heard a retching sound from the opposite side.

She looked up at the troubled man opposite her, frowned and asked, "Is the food not tasty?"

Qi Yanxue's stomach churned like a sea wave, making him dizzy. The pain in his throat came back again. Without even the time to reply, he quickly stood up, ran to the bathroom, and vomited violently.

Zhu Wendong stood up from the dining table to check on him, patted him on the back, and asked worriedly, "Should we call a doctor?"

Qi Yanxue paused for a moment, rinsed his mouth, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It shouldn't be a big deal."

Turning back to see Zhu Wendong's face wrinkled, he comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't die."

Zhu Wendong was not at all reassured, and when dinner came, Qi Yanxue vomited again.

This time, Zhu Wendong did not give Qi Yanxue a chance to refuse and called his private doctor.

Twenty minutes later, the private doctor came and examined him. "Mr. Qi is in good health, there's nothing serious wrong with him."

Zhu Wendong sat beside Qi Yanxue, his snow-white neck slightly leaning over, and asked, "Then why did he vomit?"

She hadn't started vomiting yet during her pregnancy, but Qi Yanxue was vomiting non-stop.

Doctor: "Mr. Qi vomited because his wife was pregnant. This is probably not a problem with Mr. Qi's body. Medically, this symptom is called 'pregnancy-associated syndrome'."

This was not the first time Zhu Wendong had heard of this symptom. Last year, when Qiao Shizhu was pregnant, he seemed to have heard that Qi Suixun also had this problem.

Now that he was at her place, Zhu Wendong asked hesitantly, "Does this... require medication?"

"No, it will heal naturally once the morning sickness phase is over."

Seeing that there was no serious problem, the private doctor left.

Zhu Wendong was carried to Qi Yanxue's lap. She breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his clothes, and murmured, "I'm pregnant, and you're having morning sickness. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Qi Yanxue looked at her increasingly delicate and tender face with his eyes, and the soft hairs could be vaguely seen on the side of her face when the light hit it.

Three years later, she had gained a few pounds of flesh and her figure was plump and well-proportioned, like a piece of beautiful jade, which became more and more smooth with age.

His lips curved casually, "It's a good thing that I'm going through hardship while you're pregnant."

What's more, if Zhu Wendong hadn't wanted a child, he wouldn't have planned to have one, after all, giving birth is so painful.

Qi Yanxue felt heartbroken when she saw Zhu Wendong suffering like this.

Zhu Wendong pursed her lips and planned to give him all the supplements that Qi Yanxue had bought for her.

So the next morning, Qi Yanxue had a bunch of supplements in front of him, including calcium tablets, iron supplements, and even folic acid.

"Chu Chu, are you dissatisfied with my poor health?"

Qi Yanxue glanced at the pile of miscellaneous supplements, then looked at the girl opposite with expectant eyes.

"No," Zhu Wendong shook his head and explained calmly, "I was worried that you would vomit every day and wouldn't be able to handle it."

Placing these supplements in front of her, Qi Yanxue raised her eyelids and said, "You can handle it. You're not that fragile."

Seeing his firm attitude, Zhu Wendong didn't force him anymore. Just when he was about to chat with him, he saw Qi Yanxue running to the bathroom to vomit again.

“…”

There was no warning sign of vomiting.

Zhu Wendong sighed silently, walked up to him and patted his back slowly. After he finished vomiting, he sat back down and ate breakfast safely.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, Zhu Wendong woke up in a daze, feeling that there was no one beside him, and a few intermittent vomiting sounds came from the silent and dark room.

It looks like Qi Yanxue is vomiting again.

Zhu Wendong was just about to turn over and get out of bed when Qi Yanxue came back.

Seeing that she was awake, Qi Yanxue lifted the quilt and lay down, hugging her from behind, his voice hoarse, "Why are you awake?"

"uncomfortable?"

Zhu Wendong turned around and faced him, "No, I heard you vomit."

Qi Yanxue put his hands on her lower back, rubbing it subconsciously, looking at her sweet and somewhat confused eyes through the moonlight.

"Did it wake you?"

Zhu Wendong blinked and said, "I'm worried that you'll feel bad."

"It's not uncomfortable." Qi Yanxue patted her back from time to time and said gently, "Go to sleep, baby."

-

Zhu Wendong had discussed the issue of the child's gender with Qi Yanxue.

Recalling that Qiao Shizhu and Qi Suixun gave birth to a boy last year, Qi Yanxue only visited the little brat at his first birthday party and never took the initiative to see him again.

So one day, Zhu Wendong lay in his arms, with the warm sunshine of early spring shining on her body, feeling cozy and comfortable.

She asked, "Qi Yanxue, do you like boys or girls?"

Qi Yanxue raised his hand to shield her eyes from the not-so-hot sunlight, and said slowly, "I like everything you give birth to."

Isn't this answer equivalent to choosing between A and B?

Zhu Wendong tilted his head back, his voice soft and threatening, "No, you must choose one."

After a moment of silence, Qi Yanxue curled her lips lightly and said, "A boy, maybe."

This answer was somewhat unexpected, and Zhu Wendong curiously asked, "Why?"

Qi Yanxue lowered her eyes, her gaze gentle, "This way, there will be one more person in the world to protect Chuchu."

The temperature of the sunlight seemed to gradually rise, bringing with it a scorching warmth.

Unexpected answer.

Zhu Wendong's eyes became hot and he felt like crying. Pregnancy made her emotions very sensitive, so the salty tears rolled down and soaked his clothes.

Qi Yanxue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of his fingers, chuckled lazily, and spoke with a doting tone, "Baby, why are you crying?"

It kept flowing down, so Zhu Wendong simply grabbed his collar and wiped it clean. After a while, she looked at him again with her wet eyelashes fluttering.

"Qi Yanxue, I will truly love you forever, forever and ever, and I will never give up on you."

She spoke each word with sincerity.

Qi Yanxue placed his other hand on her slightly bulging belly, and heard her lingering and passionate love words in his ears.

He thinks life is too short.

He is very greedy.

He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.

I want to wish Wen Dong and Qi Yanxue will never be separated.
