Chapter 197 Raising Beagles? We have experience and patience.

Ji Tanyuan only realized something was wrong when she felt nauseous during dinner.

Having pregnancy symptoms within a month, two weeks earlier than most pregnant women, suggests that Ji Tanyuan's pregnancy was not without its challenges.

Ji Tanyuan looked at her belly, which wasn't showing yet, and wondered how she could have been so accurate that time.

She looked at the doctors walking around and her parents talking to them.

She sat down in the chair and raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen.

There's already a baby here.

After Sheng Wan finished speaking, she approached Ji Tanyuan and touched her daughter's head: "Our Huanghuang is going to be a mother too."

Ji Tanyuan looked up and laughed, "Right?"

Ji Qing walked over and asked, "Who is the father of the child?"

Ji Tanyuan was speechless. "It's Zhong Yan."

Ji Qing said helplessly, "Huanghuang, you know exactly what I mean."

Ji Tanyuan looked up and met her father's gaze. She understood the unspoken meaning in his words: if the Zhong family accepted the child, they would most likely not allow the Zhong family's child to raise outside the family and might even allow them to remarry. If they did not accept the child, it would not be a good thing for the child either.

The social rules of the world of fame and fortune are cruel. Although they seem equal, they are actually full of feudal traditional ideas. After all, the fact that marriage alliances like the one between the emperor and the common people can last for so long is enough to prove that the higher you go, the stronger the control and oppression become. Most people here follow the principle of upward social interaction because of their own interests, and their class worship is very serious.

Especially if the father's side is a top-tier family like the Zhong family, children who are not recognized by their father's family will more or less suffer some negative comments. This is because of a certain kind of "discrimination" objectively formed by social groups and human nature, which is a kind of malice that cannot be eliminated by subjective will and will affect the child's growth.

Sheng Wan scoffed and mocked Ji Qing: "Can Zhong Fangqi's denial change the fact that they are not grandfather and grandson? Unless he drains all his blood to sever his blood ties with his grandchildren, it would be such a good thing for him to become a grandfather without pain. He should thank our Huanghuang."

Sheng Wan stroked her daughter's hair. "Silly girl, don't fall into the trap your father set for you and get bogged down in internal conflicts. You are the mother and have already borne the costs of childbirth. Let the child's father take responsibility for the rest of the minor issues. If Zhong Yan doesn't take responsibility, he's not qualified to be a father. When the time comes, just deny to the public that Zhong Yan is leaving his father and keeping the child, and the conflict will be resolved."

Ji Tanyuan nodded and smiled, "You're right, that's what I think too."

Ji Qing choked. Where was the trap? He sounded like he had ill intentions. Shouldn't we consider reality?

However, he glanced at Ji Tanyuan and realized that Ji Tanyuan was not unaware of the reasoning behind it and must have thought about it as well, so he didn't say anything more.

He bent down, took the shawl, and draped it over his daughter's shoulders: "Let's go home first, okay?"

"The doctor told me that your pregnancy symptoms are a bit severe. I've arranged for a nutritionist to take care of your three meals a day, and your attending physician and psychologist will also be with you. If you want, you can go to the United States or Europe to give birth."

"I'll help you with some of the company's affairs for now, but it's not good for you to work too much during your pregnancy."

Ji Tanyuan nodded, "You don't need to worry, I can manage on my own, and Zhong Yan will take care of it; it's his responsibility."

On the way, Ji Tanyuan couldn't help but touch her belly.

"This feeling is truly amazing."

Sheng Wan laughed and said, "You might get tired of carrying it for two months."

I had just arrived home when Zhong Yan called.

"At the hospital?"

She heard a voice on the other end, "Are you in the car?"

Zhong Yan, driving, hummed in agreement, her voice gentle, "We're having a baby, aren't we?"

Ji Tanyuan wasn't surprised that he knew, but she still said, "You should pretend you don't know, and wait for me to give you a surprise."

Zhong Yan chuckled, but still asked cooperatively, "What's wrong? Any good news?"

You're going to be a dad.

Ji Tanyuan, not finding it boring, talked to Zhong Yan over the phone about the "surprise".

After Ji Tanyuan finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Zhong Yan parked the car on the side of the road, took off his sunglasses, wiped his face, his eyes slightly red, and looked at the road ahead with a smile, saying:

"I'm so excited I can't even speak."

Ji Tanyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with his calm tone: "What is this?"

Pretending to be a man.

"Be careful on your way back, don't let the wind get into your eyes," Ji Tanyuan replied sarcastically.

Ji Tanyuan returned home in the evening, washed up, and went to bed.

I was woken up by a sudden noise around 2 or 3 a.m.

Zhong Yan sat on the edge of the bed, touching her belly through the blanket.

Then, as if sensing her gaze, he looked up and said in a gentle voice, "Sorry, did I wake you?"

Ji Tanyuan: "No."

"I heard from the doctor that my pregnancy symptoms are very severe?"

He kissed her forehead, then sighed.

The two whispered sweet nothings in the dimly lit bedroom. Ji Tanyuan said, "Do you think the baby will be very noisy after it's born?"

"It's okay, we have experience and patience in raising beagles."

Ji Tanyuan: "..."

Zhong Yan touched her face, then took her wrist and put a jade bracelet on her wrist.

It glows with a soft, luminous light even in the darkness.

Ji Tanyuan's eyes showed surprise. She loved jadeite. Although she wasn't an expert, she had worn it many times and knew its value.

This is a natural jadeite, made from precious old mine high-ice glass-type jadeite. The green color is very pure, and it is icy, translucent, warm, and delicate. It is a top-quality product.

It starts at 20 million, and it should fetch even more at an auction.

Where did it come from?

"I found this at a friend's place. When I saw it, I thought it suited you perfectly."

Ji Tanyuan smiled and said, "It is very beautiful."

Then she touched the jade pendant around her neck, which was also a piece of top-quality, lustrous jade.

Ji Tanyuan likes jade and other expensive jewelry.

Zhong Yan: "I didn't know the little one would greet us so early, so I only bought one gift for the big one. I'll buy him another day."

Ji Tanyuan wrapped her arms around his waist, "It's only been four weeks,"

Zhong Yan hummed in agreement, "Around the same age."

Ji Tanyuan had just woken up from her sleep, but quickly fell asleep again. Zhong Yan looked down at the peacefully sleeping Ji Tanyuan. Her eyelashes were thick, and her skin was fair and translucent, as delicate as white jade.

From the first time Zhong Yan met Ji Tanyuan until now, his impression of Ji Tanyuan has never changed.

But she is also lively, cheerful, and open-minded.

Such an elegant and perfect person is willing to raise a child with him.

Love can make one feel inferior, and when that day finally comes, Zhong Yan will also feel overwhelmed with gratitude.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, reverently and solemnly saying, "Thank you, my glorious princess."
