Looking at the harmonious family before her, Lin Wanqiu was filled with emotion. She recalled the chaotic state of the Shen family when she was first reborn; Old Mrs. Shen was harsh, Zhang Lan was lazy, and the family was always bickering. Now, Old Mrs. Shen had become gentle and considerate, and Zhang Lan had become hardworking and capable; the family lived in harmony. All these changes were inseparable from Shen Tingzhou's efforts and the mutual support between the couple.
That night, Lin Wanqiu lay in bed, looking at Shen Tingzhou sleeping soundly beside her, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew how lucky she was to have met Shen Tingzhou. He not only gave her a warm home, but also silently supported and protected her, allowing her to feel deep love in this unfamiliar era.
Shen Tingzhou seemed to sense Lin Wanqiu's gaze, and groggily opened his eyes, took her hand, and whispered, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just feel very happy," Lin Wanqiu said softly, leaning against his chest.
Shen Tingzhou hugged her tighter, kissed her forehead, and said gently, "Silly girl, I'm only happy with you and the baby. Sleep well, I'll always be with you."
Lin Wanqiu closed her eyes, feeling Shen Tingzhou's warm embrace, and quickly drifted off to sleep. In her dream, she dreamt that she gave birth to a healthy baby. Shen Tingzhou held the baby, smiling happily. Grandma Shen and Zhang Lan surrounded the baby, praising him incessantly. Nian An stood to the side, gently touching the baby's little hand. The family lived happily together.
Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on the kang (a heated brick bed), adding a touch of gentle warmth to the cozy scene. Looking at Lin Wanqiu sleeping soundly in his arms, Shen Tingzhou silently vowed to work even harder to take care of her and their child, ensuring their eternal happiness and never letting them suffer any more injustice. He knew that although he had turned down many jobs, it was all worthwhile as long as he could protect this family.
In the days that followed, Shen Tingzhou continued to stay by Lin Wanqiu's side every day, taking meticulous care of her daily needs. Lin Wanqiu's belly grew bigger day by day, and her body became increasingly cumbersome, but she remained in good spirits because she knew that with Shen Tingzhou by her side and the love of her family, she had nothing to fear.
Sometimes, Lin Wanqiu would worry about the workshop, fearing that Shen Tingzhou taking care of her at home would affect its production. But Shen Tingzhou would always reassure her, saying that everyone in the workshop was very capable and that she shouldn't worry. Moreover, Brother Wang and Zhang Lan would often come to their house to report on the workshop's progress, telling them that orders were increasing and business was getting better and better, so they didn't need to worry.
Hearing their words, Lin Wanqiu gradually felt relieved. She knew that the most important thing now was to focus on her pregnancy and wait for the baby to be born. Shen Tingzhou's decision to turn down unnecessary work and dedicate himself to being by her side further strengthened her resolve, making her believe that their life would only get better and better.
As time went by, spring drew closer, and Lin Wanqiu's due date was fast approaching. Shen Tingzhou took even better care of her, checking her temperature and blood pressure daily, and massaging her legs to relieve swelling. He had also prepared a maternity bag in advance, containing baby clothes, diapers, and other supplies Lin Wanqiu would need after giving birth—everything was perfectly prepared.
Lin Wanqiu watched Shen Tingzhou's busy figure, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that with such a considerate husband and such a harmonious family, she would definitely be able to give birth to her child smoothly, and their future would surely be full of sunshine and hope.
