But fate was unkind, and despite years of effort, there was still no news, which remained a hurdle in Zhao's heart.
Although Jin Yan didn't say it, she knew in her heart that he liked children and longed for them.
Therefore, Jin Yan was overjoyed when he met Ying Ziyu and never hid his affection for her.
She had seen everything he did and naturally hoped to bear him a child. If she did, it would fulfill her wish.
Just then, the little guy came out. "You're even dreaming about standing outside?"
Seeing the little one, Zhao Shi's expression brightened, and she stepped forward to pick him up, saying, "Yu'er is awake, it's time to eat together."
The little guy shook his head like a rattle, "No need, I'm not hungry yet."
Jin Yan looked at him with considerable doubt. "I ate dinner early last night and I'm hungry now. Is Yu'er feeling unwell? Uncle will get you something to help with digestion."
The little guy continued to shake his head, "I'm really not hungry."
Consort Shu stared at him calmly, "Where did you sneak off to eat again last night?"
She knew this kid's personality very well. If he really wasn't hungry after not eating for so long, then the sun must have risen in the west.
Moreover, this kid was impossible to wake up this morning. He must have stayed up all night last night. Consort Shu knew immediately that he must have been sneaking food last night again.
The little guy turned his head away guiltily, "What is Mother saying? I don't understand."
[It's like my mother has someone spying on me; she even knows I'm out performing a ritual to help a small animal pass on.]
Hearing this, Consort Shu sighed softly, "You, don't overeat!"
She couldn't control this kid anymore; he always managed to sneak out without anyone noticing, and she couldn't just lock his room.
The little guy quickly changed the subject, looking at Jin Yan and asking, "What was Uncle talking about just now? You seemed quite happy?"
Jin Yan smiled and looked at Zhao Shi, replying, "Oh, your aunt seems to be pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Zhao couldn't help but smile.
Her long-awaited wish finally came true, and she was overjoyed.
"Baby?"
The little one got down from Zhao's arms and then looked at Zhao's belly carefully.
Seeing this, Madam Zhao was quite puzzled. "What's wrong, Yu'er?"
Consort Shu looked at the little guy with a complicated expression. She knew his abilities well, and seeing him like this, she felt uneasy.
A moment later, the little guy looked at Zhao and said, "Auntie doesn't have a baby in her belly."
Zhao's expression changed slightly. "Nothing?"
Jin Yan's expression froze instantly.
Zhao lowered her head in disbelief, "How did Yu'er know?"
She would have believed the doctor if he had said it, but the fact that a child was saying such things made her feel that there was still hope.
Seeing Zhao's rather sorrowful expression, Jin Yan also said with concern, "We should ask a doctor to take a look."
Seeing this, Consort Shu's expression also turned rather forlorn, and she said, "If Yu'er says there is no, then there must be no."
He knew how capable the little guy was; he was never wrong.
Seeing the resolute look in Consort Shu's eyes, Jin Yan's eyes dimmed. "Then there must be a mistake."
He knew that Consort Shu would never have said such a thing unless she was absolutely certain.
Upon hearing this, Zhao's face also showed great disappointment.
Seeing that the three of them looked unhappy, the little guy looked at Zhao Shi and said, "Aunt, don't worry too much, I have a way."
Upon hearing this, both Zhao and Jin Yan's expressions changed slightly.
