Chapter 138 Having a baby will be bad for your health
Jiang Ning looked at him with her clear, watery eyes. Shen Mo was captivated by the tenderness in her eyes. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his hand on her waist couldn't help but press harder.
Jiang Ning let out a soft cry, and Shen Mo immediately reacted. His eyes darted around, and after a long while, he reluctantly removed his hand from his waist.
However, at this moment, Jiang Ning suddenly reached out and hooked her arm around his neck. "What's wrong with you?"
He leaned down and buried his face in the neck of the person in his arms.
"Jealous!"
"Jealous?" Jiang Ning's eyes widened, then she quickly realized something. "You're jealous of a girl?"
She was just teasing Shen Mo when she said that, but she never expected that Shen Mo would actually admit it.
"What's wrong with the woman?" Shen Mo said. "I can't stand how clingy she is to you."
Feeling the itch and slight tremor on her neck, Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.
She now believes that Shen Mo and Xu Jin really have been fighting since they were children.
While at the hospital, upon hearing about the inexplicable arranged marriage, a strange emotion arose in her heart. However, she believed in this man. Shen Mo's kindness was never just talk, but action. It would be too much to complain about him based on some unfounded speculation.
Actually, Shen Mo was still a little conflicted. "Wife, when you heard Xu Jin say that I had that so-called arranged marriage between us, weren't you jealous?"
Jiang Ning glanced down at him, "Jealous?"
"Mmm." A soft response came from her neck, sounding somewhat forlorn.
Don't men generally prefer mature and stable women, and dislike those who are jealous and competitive?
How come it's the other way around with Shen Mo?
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and couldn't help teasing him, "You think that my lack of jealousy means I don't care about you?"
The little devil inside me is about to burst into tears; teasing Shen Mo is so much fun.
At 28 years old, to still be so innocent is truly rare.
Jiang Ning suddenly cupped his face and lifted it up, then leaned in for a quick kiss.
Then she said, "Shen Mo, I care about you so much, I care about you so much."
Shen Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "We are husband and wife, the parents of our future children. I'm willing to have your child, do you think I don't care about you?"
She had actually thought about this question. She herself was a medical student, and a mother who was willing to give birth must love her husband very much.
Passing through the gates of hell is no easy feat.
She never imagined she would have a child with anyone, at least not in this world.
As she spent more time with Shen Mo, she gradually began to face the matter squarely. After thinking it over, she found that she was quite willing to do so.
Shen Mo was just happy that his wife had mentioned two things that showed she cared about him, when another unexpected windfall came his way.
"Wife...wife...wife."
Shen Mo seemed speechless, stammering for a long time before finally uttering those three words.
Jiang Ning had never seen such a rich array of expressions on Shen Mo's face before. "So what if he's willing to have your child? Why are you so agitated?"
"I'm so happy." Shen Mo was very happy, but then he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but say, "Honey, having a baby will be bad for your health."
Jiang Ning was stunned; she hadn't expected Shen Mo to say that.
She remembers that in those days, having children was a very common thing, and many men even thought that having eight or ten children was quite normal.
In the eyes of doctors, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Moreover, if a woman doesn't recover well after childbirth, she will suffer from various illnesses in her old age, and a great mother will have to leave during the most painful years.
In men's minds, having children is an obligation; once they have a child, their task is complete. Few men realize how much harm this does to their wives' health.
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow. "How do you know it's bad for your health?"
“My mother’s health wasn’t very good after she gave birth to me and my older brother. Then she had Qianqian. She was not young when she gave birth to Qianqian. After giving birth to Qianqian, my mother’s health visibly deteriorated, which made my father very distressed.”
“My mother’s health was poor, and my older brother and I both noticed it. Later, my older brother married Jin Yuyan, but we weren’t in a hurry to have children.”
Their grandmother passed away relatively early, and their father personally took care of their mother's health condition.
Jiang Ning nodded. She had taken care of Shen's mother's health before, and Shen's mother's health had indeed deteriorated significantly due to having given birth to three children.
Later, he was sent down to the countryside to suffer for so long. It was a blessing from heaven that he was able to survive that period.
During that sensitive period, too many innocent people died or were injured.
No wonder she had been with Shen Mo for so long, and he had never mentioned the child to her. If she hadn't brought up the topic of the child today, she probably would never have known about it.
A person's character is revealed in the details.
The difference in character among the Shen family members is immediately apparent.
Jiang Ning suddenly turned over, and the two of them switched positions instantly.
Jiang Ning leaned against Shen Mo without any hesitation, resting her head on his chest. "Shen Mo, I'm so lucky to have married you and come to your family."
After saying that, she immediately heard a heartbeat that gradually quickened, not hers, but Shen Mo's.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh. So this is what it's like to date someone who's obsessed with romance. Their relationship skipped the dating part and went straight to the next level.
Jiang Ning especially loved listening to his strong heartbeat, which meant that life was vibrant.
Shen Mo couldn't see Jiang Ning's expression. Although his wife had said she was willing to have his child, he was still a little worried. He couldn't help but ask, "Wife, do you like children?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, "I like obedient children, like Zhiqi, but that child has been abandoned too many times and is very sensitive. We need to treat him better."
Shen Mo assured her, "Don't worry, honey. I'll discipline the child for you if he misbehaves in the future."
Jiang Ning suddenly looked up and asked curiously, "You discipline both sons and daughters?"
Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Of course a son should be disciplined for being too naughty, but if it's a daughter, then it's a different story."
Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile; the Shen family's tradition of favoring daughters over sons was truly well-preserved.
Jiang Ning suddenly shuddered, and Shen Mo immediately got up and went outside to bring in a basin of hot water.
After washing up, he first tucked Jiang Ning into the blanket, then went outside to tidy up before returning.
As soon as Jiang Ning saw the man get into bed, she snuggled into his arms.
It was just after the New Year, and the weather was still cold. Shen Mo was warmer than any other source of warmth.
Jiang Ning nestled in his warm arms, almost falling asleep, when the man holding her suddenly sat up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a dangerous glint in his eyes, especially noticeable in the darkness.
Shen Mo pinned her down and said in a low, husky voice, "Wife, it's been over two months."
