Chapter 124 Let’s Have More Children
Lu Tingzhou's body stiffened, and then he shook his head like a rattle, which was somewhat inconsistent with his handsome face.
He held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it tenderly, his voice full of fear and flattery.
"Quite a few."
"I won't dare to do that again."
Sang Wan pursed her lips. "It's not impossible. The doctor said I have to be careful in the first three months. It's okay if you go a little gentle."
Today is Lu Tingzhou's birthday, and she wants to make him happy and joyful.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe, grabbed Lu Tingzhou's collar, and pulled him down, "Lower yourself, you're so high, I can't kiss you."
Lu Tingzhou cooperated by lowering his head and kissing her lips.
Their lips and teeth touched, Sang Wan kissed him in a flattering manner, and even imitated him by sucking him.
Slender, soft hands began to undress him, then restlessly ignited him.
There was the sound of falling snow outside the window, and the bathroom was indeed hot.
Lu Tingzhou suppressed his impulse and picked her up very gently, holding her steadily with both hands, letting her slender legs wrap around his waist.
…
Have a good night's sleep.
Or rather, a sleepless night.
Lu Tingzhou kept his eyes open, staring at the ceiling all night.
Beside him was her even breathing, and in her arms was his future world.
The next day, Sang Wan woke up in a warm and quiet environment.
The snow outside the window has stopped, and the sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.
In the morning at Ziyuan, you can hear the sound of dust settling quietly.
She moved, and the bed beside her was empty, with only a slight cool temperature left.
Sang Wan put on her slippers and walked downstairs quietly.
In the living room, Lu Tingzhou was sitting on the sofa.
There was a laptop on his knees, and the screen was on, but his deep gaze was not focused on the complicated data. Instead, he stared at a certain point in the air in a somewhat empty manner.
Hearing the footsteps, the man came back to his senses almost instantly.
With a "click", he closed the computer. His movements were so fast that it didn't seem like he was doing work, but rather like he was covering up something.
Before Sang Wan could ask, he had already strode over.
The next second, the world was spinning.
He held her horizontally in his arms, his strong arms supporting her steadily as if he was holding some rare treasure.
"Are you hungry?" He lowered his head, his voice softer than ever before, "Breakfast is warm in the kitchen."
Sang Wan nestled in his arms, feeling a bit amused and helpless.
This man has been overly cautious since last night.
She had only been pregnant for less than two months, and her belly was flat without any change.
At the end of last night, he was like a child who had just learned about the human body. He lay on her belly, listening and watching, with a pious and silly look on his face.
"Lu Tingzhou," Sang Wan stretched out her finger and poked his resolute chin, "I can walk by myself."
She paused, a hint of teasing in her tone.
"You're only a little older now. Do you think you can still hold me in your arms for the next few months?"
Hearing this, the man not only did not put her down, but hugged her even tighter.
He raised his eyebrows as a matter of course, looking at her with burning eyes.
"Why can't I hold you forever?"
Sang Wan was choked by his question, then curled up the corners of her lips and teased him intentionally.
"My belly will be very big and I'll be very fat. Will you be able to hold me?"
Lu Tingzhou laughed softly, and the vibration of his chest reached Sang Wan's heart through their touching skin.
"You underestimated your husband."
He leaned over, his thin lips touching her ear, his breath warm.
"Not to mention one of you, even if there are two of you, I can still hold you."
Sang Wan's heart felt like it was soaked in honey, so sweet that it was sickening.
She smiled, tilted her head back, and kissed his well-defined cheek.
There was a "pop" sound, crisp and loud.
"Even if you could carry me, I wouldn't dare let you," she said softly, "It's not as safe as walking on my own."
At the breakfast table, Lu Tingzhou peeled eggs for her personally, his movements meticulous and careful.
"Let's go see grandma this afternoon," he suddenly said.
Sang Wan was drinking milk and looked up when he heard this.
"She knew you agreed to the proposal, and she kept talking about wanting to see you again."
Lu Tingzhou put the peeled eggs into her bowl, with a look of almost fragile anticipation in his eyes that Sang Wan had never seen before.
"I want to... tell her the good news."
He paused and lowered his voice, as if he was talking to himself.
"Let her rest assured."
"Also let her know that I will have more and more relatives."
"I am no longer that poor wretch without a family."
The last sentence was so light that it almost disappeared into the air.
Sang Wan's heart was tugged hard.
She put down the glass of milk and reached out to cover the back of his hand on the dining table.
"Lu Tingzhou," she looked into his eyes, each word clear and solemn, "We won't always be shallow relatives. If you want a lively family, we can have more children. When we are old, we will have many relatives around us. There will be grandsons, granddaughters, grandsons, and granddaughters."
Lu Tingzhou patted her hands and said, "Two is enough. Giving birth to a child is like entering the gates of hell for a woman. I don't want you to take any risks."
Lu Tingzhou said this, and it seems that he had no choice but to accept these two little guys.
In the afternoon, the two drove to the Zhou family's old house.
Before the car stopped, Sang Wan saw an old lady with gray hair and a vigorous spirit, waiting at the gate, looking forward to it.
Lu Tingzhou took Sang Wan's hand and got out of the car.
In the cold wind, his palms were dry, warm and powerful.
Sang Wan walked forward and naturally took the old lady's arm, her voice sweet and soft.
"grandmother."
"Hey, good boy."
Old Mrs. Zhou smiled from ear to ear, took Sang Wan's hand, looked her up and down, her eyes full of unconcealable love.
"Hurry, go home, it's cold outside."
The living room is warm and cozy.
After a few words of casual conversation, Lu Tingzhou could no longer contain himself.
He cleared his throat and straightened his back, like a primary school student eager to show off his report card to his parents.
That proud yet somewhat silly look made Sang Wan burst into laughter.
"Grandma," he announced, "you're going to be a great-grandmother."
Old Mrs. Zhou was holding a teacup. When she heard this, her hand shook and the tea almost spilled out.
"What?"
"You heard right." Lu Tingzhou spoke each word with joy overflowing in his voice, "Sang Wan, she's pregnant."
"Ouch!"
The old lady slapped her thigh with joy, and the wrinkles on her face turned into a chrysanthemum.
"That's great, it's a great thing. If your mother were here, she would definitely be proud to see how outstanding you are and how beautiful your wife is."
The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said that her daughter was unlucky and would not have the chance to see this scene.
"grandmother."
"Grandma, it's okay. I'm happy."
Lu Tingzhou knew that she was indeed happy because his grandmother never mentioned his mother easily.
The old lady pulled Lu Tingzhou over and slapped him in an angry manner.
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? Get ready for the wedding."
The old lady became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice was full of energy.
"If that stubborn old man in your family dares to disagree, you two can do it in Beijing. Your aunt and I will take care of it for you."
The smile in Lu Tingzhou's eyes deepened, like melting thick ink.
He moved closer, pretending to be mysterious, and raised his chin proudly.
"Grandma, I'm not finished yet."
"what else?"
Lu Tingzhou uttered a few words slowly and clearly.
"They are twins."
The living room suddenly became quiet.
Old Mrs. Zhou stood up from the sofa in an instant, her eyes wide open like bells and her mouth open for a long time.
The whole person seemed to be stunned by the huge surprise that fell from the sky.
Sang Wan looked at Lu Tingzhou's smug look, and in her heart, she felt even more proud than him.
Because she knew that he was truly happy.
He was so happy that he was willing to let down all his defenses and show his truest and most childlike side in front of an elder he trusted.
At this moment, he was no longer the cold and decisive Lu Tingzhou who was in charge of the business empire.
He is just a happy man who is about to have a complete family.
Sang Wan thought that she wanted to give him back all the warmth that he had lacked since childhood, bit by bit.
Let him have a home and something to care about.
Let him have blood, flesh and warmth.
The three words "twins" that fell from the sky were like a sweet bomb, blowing up the living room of the Zhou family's old house.
Old Mrs. Zhou was stunned at first, and then she burst into laughter even louder than before. She held Sang Wan's hand and couldn't stop looking at her like a treasure.
It was not until dinner time that the exciting joy subsided a little.
At the dinner table, Old Mrs. Zhou still looked at Sang Wan with joy and kept picking up food for her.
"Wanwan, since you're here, stay in Beijing for two more days and let your aunt take good care of you."
Lu Tingzhou's aunt Deng Xing also quickly agreed: "Yes, a hotel is not as comfortable as home."
Lu Tingzhou slowly picked out the fishbone for Sang Wan, and did not even raise his head when he heard this.
"No."
His voice was light, but it was filled with an unquestionable certainty.
"Let's go back to live in Catalpa Garden."
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyes, swept his gaze across everyone at the table, and finally landed on Sang Wan, with an unwavering tenderness in his eyes.
"I have a home, I'm not homeless."
This one sentence made the atmosphere at the table stagnate slightly.
Zhou Ming was stunned. He was unhappy when Ziyuan was mentioned last time. Why did he become a different person this time?
For Lu Tingzhou, Ziyuan is almost a forbidden area.
Since the incident four years ago, he has never set foot there again, let alone lived there.
Lu Tingzhou saw their confusion, put down his chopsticks, took Sang Wan's hand and held it in his palm.
His eyes were frank and serious.
"Ziyuan has always been Wanwan and I's home."
He paused, his tone showing relief at having recovered something he had lost.
"It was just because of some accidents that we were separated for a few years."
"Fortunately, we are back together now."
I see.
Zhou Ming suddenly realized and then laughed, with the relief and satisfaction of an elder.
"No wonder you refused to sell the house when I advised you to do so."
