Chapter 122 I love you a thousand times
"Xiao Wan, I can't take this anymore! We're about to get married, and Gu Yushu is dumping the company on me. I'm having such a hard time!"
Chu Chu clung to Shen Wan, her head resting on her lap, rolling around like a big dog, whimpering and unwilling to get out of bed.
As the weather gradually warmed up, Shen Zhen's belly grew bigger day by day. Gu Yushu's daily work consisted of staying at home with her, completely leaving the company to Chu Chu.
Shen Wan found it amusing to watch Chu Chu acting coquettishly and rolling around. Ever since Gu Yushu handed the company over to her, this person has been doing this every morning.
Shen Wan gently ruffled her hair and coaxed her softly, "Achu, your sister is pregnant and needs someone by her side. You'll have to work a little harder, okay?"
Chu Chu wrapped her arms around Shen Wan, brought her face close to hers, and pouted her rosy lips, "Then wife will make it up to you!"
Shen Wan held her face, leaned forward, and gave her a big kiss, "Smack!"
"My dear wife!"
Chu Chu narrowed her eyes instantly, her nose brushing against Chen Wan's, her hot breath spraying all over Chen Wan's cheeks, tender and affectionate, as she whispered, "Wife, how about we try it in the car tonight?"
Shen Wan's ears turned bright red. After living with Chu Chu, she realized that this person had a lot of tricks up her sleeve and especially liked to try different places. If she didn't agree to something, he would keep acting cute.
"Honey, please! The reason I can keep going to work is because you're my pillar of support! Honey, please say yes! Please say yes!"
Chu Chu kept burrowing her big head into Shen Wan's arms, rubbing against her repeatedly, her hands caressing Shen Wan's waist, and she was humming softly.
Shen Wan blushed, pressed down on Chu Chu's fidgeting head, and gave a barely audible "hmm".
Chu Chu got up, leaned in and kissed her lips, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Wife, if there's a reward every day, I don't mind helping our sister for a while longer."
Shen Wan cupped Chu Chu's face, pinched her cheek, and scoffed, "You naughty girl, you're getting the benefit and still acting innocent!"
Chu Chu lingered for a while, then happily went to work. Humph! She was stuck at work now, and she absolutely couldn't keep going without getting some reward! After Shen Zhen gave birth, she had to take her wife on a honeymoon as soon as possible, otherwise, given Gu Yushu's personality, he'd probably linger on maternity leave! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!
...
At the end of summer, Chu Chu and Shen Wan's wedding was held as scheduled. The two planned to have a simple meal with everyone in China before taking their photographer on a destination wedding trip abroad.
Chu Chu always does things unpredictably. She was afraid that if she arrived late, Shen Zhen would give birth to the child, and then she would be exploited for another year.
At this time, Shen Zhen's belly was already quite large. Gu Yushu originally didn't want her to go out, but he couldn't stop Chu Chu from hiring a private doctor to come to her door to pick her up.
"Yushu, don't worry! Let's go, we'll be right back after dinner, there's a doctor here!" Chuchu shouted as she rushed in with the doctor. She was joking, today was her and Xiaowan's special day, and if Shenzhen couldn't attend, Xiaowan would definitely kick her out of bed tonight!
Gu Yushu remained unmoved and continued preparing tonics for Shen Zhen in the kitchen. Gu Yushu personally took care of Shen Zhen's diet throughout her pregnancy, wanting to give her the best of everything.
Shen Zhen stood up, supporting her lower back, and walked to Gu Yushu's side. She poked the soft flesh on her waist with her finger and coaxed him in a low voice, "Ashu, let me go. The due date is still more than three months away. Besides, you must be worried about me being alone at home. There will be no problem with the doctor there."
"Mommy, Tuantuan will protect my little sister too, and will never let anyone touch Mommy." Tuantuan chimed in earnestly, her small face full of seriousness, and her focused gaze was somewhat similar to Gu Yushu's.
Gu Yushu had witnessed all the hardships Shen Zhen had endured during her pregnancy, and she felt incredibly sorry for her lately. With just over three months until her due date, Gu Yushu was constantly on edge. She wanted to watch over Shen Zhen 24/7, and she would wake up immediately if Shen Zhen uttered even the softest groan in her sleep.
Gu Yushu sighed, took Shen Zhen's fair and delicate hand in his, and gently kneaded it, murmuring reluctantly, "Alright... but we'll be back after we eat."
Shen Zhen found Gu Yushu's cautious manner amusing. "Okay, I'll just go grab a bite to eat and be right back."
"Yay! Book Mom is the best!" Tuantuan jumped up, pulling Shen Zhen's hand.
As soon as Shen Zhen, Gu Yushu, and Tuantuan arrived, Gu Yin immediately took Tuantuan away, claiming she wanted to bond with her eldest granddaughter. They would all be family from now on, and Tuantuan was so adorable; Gu Yin had considered sneaking her home to raise her several times!
Jiang Yu pulled Shen Zhen to sit down beside her, smiling as she patted her belly and said happily, "Yuanyuan, be good, godmother will have dinner with you!"
Shen Zhen smiled gently as she looked at Jiang Yu: "Little Yu'er, she's moving."
Jiang Yu's fingertips twitched slightly, and she turned around in surprise to call out to Zhong Li, "Ah Li, Yuan Yuan likes me very much!"
Zhong Li looked at the person beside her with affection, "Yes, you're so good, Yuanyuan will definitely like you."
Gu Yushu scoffed and pulled Shen Zhen close to her. "Hmph! My daughter will only like me. You guys are all just trying to make yourselves look good!"
Shen Zhen raised her hand and pinched Gu Yushu's cheek, scolding him playfully, "You're so petty!"
Even before Yuanyuan is born, this guy already wants to prepare everything for her. Last time I thought Grandpa Gu was being excessive, but this guy is even more excessive. Every time he goes shopping, he buys a ton of stuff, and he even hired a private tutor to learn how to raise children. I wonder how much pain Yuanyuan will experience after she's born.
Gu Yushu snorted, "They should have their own babies! They're always envious of others!"
Zhong Li leaned back lazily in her chair, her eyes slightly upturned, and said languidly, "It's not that I can't give birth, I just don't want my baby to suffer."
Jiang Yu cupped her cheeks and gave her a kiss in public, "My wife is so good! I love you! We can just take their child away, I love you."
As the group was bickering, Shen Wan and Chu Chu came over with wine glasses to offer a toast. Both of them had flushed faces, and Chu Chu was a little unsteady on her feet, but her eyes were clear and joyful.
"Zhenzhen, thank you for doing so much for Xiaowan! I will take good care of her from now on, and our whole family will treat her very well!"
Chu Chu, with a lisp, clung tightly to Shen Zhen's hand, thanking her profusely.
Gu Yushu disgustedly pushed Chu Chu away, "Just talk, no holding hands!"
Shen Wan held Chu Chu's hand and whispered, "Chu Chu, stop fooling around."
Chu Chu immediately stood obediently to the side.
"Wow~ What a massive display of affection this is!"
"This is terrible! I'm going crazy!"
"I'm full, I'm full! I've had my fill of dog food!"
Seeing this, everyone started to cheer and make a fuss.
Chu Chu ignored them, tilting her head back with a haughty expression, "I want to! You're all just jealous!"
The wedding banquet went on very late. Gu Yushu gave them a heads-up and took Shen Zhen home early.
...
In late autumn, Shen Zhen was admitted to the hospital well before her due date.
Three days before her due date, Shen Zhen was taken to the delivery room and successfully gave birth to a daughter, Yuan Yuan, weighing 6 pounds and 8 ounces.
Gu Yushu sat anxiously outside the delivery room, her face pale, as if she herself were giving birth and feeling anxious and uncomfortable. As soon as she saw Shen Zhen come out, she immediately ran forward, grabbed her hand, and was so excited that she couldn't say a word.
Despite being weak after childbirth, Shen Zhen wore a happy smile. "A-Shu, look, Yuan Yuan is so well-behaved."
Gu Yushu then turned to look at the baby next to Shen Zhen, whose eyes were closed and whose face was wrinkled. Gu Yushu felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. "Zhenzhen is so amazing. I will protect you both from now on!"
Gu Yushu had a beautiful smile, and his cool eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze. Shen Zhen and the nurse were both stunned.
Yuanyuan was held carefully in her arms, and seemed to like her mother very much, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Back in the ward, Shen Zhen was exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Yushu quietly traced Shen Zhen's face with her eyes. This was her baby. She would take good care of Zhenzhen and Yuanyuan from now on and would never let them suffer.
When Shen Zhen woke up, Shen Wan, Chu Chu, Jiang Yu, Zhong Li, and Tuan Tuan had all arrived. The five of them surrounded Yuan Yuan, whispering like fools.
"This is my sister, I love her so much!"
"Little brat, what do you know? This is my goddaughter, I'm her real mother! Here, take this big red envelope!"
"I'm still her aunt! Did Gu Yushu agree to you becoming her godmother? I'm not going to run away from being her aunt."
Shen Zhen: "..." Aren't these people childish!
When Gu Yushu saw that Shen Zhen was awake, he frowned slightly. "Keep your voice down, you've woken Zhen Zhen up."
Shen Zhen smiled and shook her head. "No, no, I'm awake."
Jiang Yu immediately moved closer to the bedside and chattered on about all the research she had done on what to pay attention to after childbirth.
Shen Zhen listened quietly, feeling touched. Xiao Yu'er may seem carefree, but she is actually very thoughtful and caring.
"Mommy, what's Yuanyuan's full name?" Tuantuan asked in a childish voice as she ran to Shenzhen's side.
Shen Zhen looked at Gu Yushu blankly, "A-Shu, have you thought it through?"
Gu Yushu teased Yuanyuan, squeezed her soft little hand, and whispered, "Anjin, Gu Anjin."
Shen Zhen murmured the name twice, letting it roll between her lips, then looked up and laughed, "It sounds nice, I like it very much."
After sitting for a while, the group left one after another, leaving Shen Zhen to rest.
Shen Zhen hugged Yuanyuan, looked at the little one in her arms, kissed her soft cheek, and slowly smiled. She looked up at Yu Shu, her eyes bright and glistening with tears, "Yu Shu, thank you..."
Thank you for loving me after all these years. Thank you for always understanding and supporting me, allowing me to do what I love. Thank you for making me realize that I can be a better person.
I love you a thousand times over.
Gu Yushu leaned down and gently kissed the corner of Shen Zhen's eye. "Baby, I want to thank you for giving me a home. You and Yuanyuan are my life. We will be together forever."
Shen Zhen nestled in Gu Yushu's arms, "Yes, let's be together forever, I love you."
