"He was so angry he was about to explode?" Gu Jiangli was very puzzled. Was this really something that made him so angry?
But after thinking about it, Jiang Huaizhi already disliked Sun Chan, and now he was almost tricked by Sun Chan, so it's understandable that he was anxious and upset about it.
She was full of worry and said, "You're not in good health, you shouldn't be worrying about such trivial matters."
Huaiyu added fuel to the fire, saying, "Madam, the young master has actually been extremely tired these past two days. He has to do everything himself, big and small. He hasn't been sleeping well at night, and he has no appetite. He looks haggard."
Gu Jiangli's expression indeed became even more worried. "Are there so many things to do? No wonder you haven't been home much these past few days. Can your body handle it? How long will it take to finish?"
Seeing the anxiety on her face, Jiang Huaizhi's eyes softened considerably. "Jiang Li, are you worried about me?"
"Your health is of utmost importance, so of course we can't be careless." Gu Jiangli's brows furrowed.
Jiang Huaizhi could hardly contain his lip movements.
Jiang Li was worried about him.
She still cares about herself, as expected.
He then thought, so what if Jiang Li isn't angry about Sun Chan?
Jiang Li has always been magnanimous and is not the type of person to get angry over such trivial matters, but her feelings for him are absolutely genuine.
Isn't it enough that she cares about herself?
"Jiang Li, things here are almost settled. Why don't I stay home and rest for the next couple of days? Huaiyu is clumsy and can't take good care of me."
His eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for Gu Jiangli to nod.
Huaiyu opened her mouth wide, but many words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Without a second thought, Gu Jiangli said, "Huaiyu has been running around with you all day, which must be tiring. Now that you've taken care of most of the important things, go home and rest for a few days. I'll have Hehua ask Doctor An to come and take a look at you and see if he can cure this old ailment."
"This disease is neither too serious nor too minor. It is really torturous when it flares up. If it could be cured in one go, one would no longer have to suffer from it."
Upon hearing that she wanted to see a doctor, Jiang Huaizhi immediately became anxious: "No need, no need... cough cough cough, it's not that serious."
Gu Jiangli looked at him with suspicion and worry: "Don't you need to see a doctor? But your cough is really bad."
"No need," Jiang Huaizhi said firmly. "I'll rest for a few days and recover quickly. I know my body very well."
"Alright." Seeing that both of them refused to seek medical treatment, Gu Jiangli did not press the matter further.
After all, Jiang Huaizhi has been ill for so many years, so he should be quite aware of his own health.
He said it wasn't a big problem, and I should trust him.
"Huaizhi, you still need to take good care of your health. After all, you still have children to take care of."
Jiang Huai didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment. "Nan Yu? He's going to the capital in the spring. I'll arrange for people to take good care of him in the capital. Jiang Li, don't worry."
“It’s not Nan Yu.” Gu Jiangli’s eyes held a mischievous smile, which made Jiang Huaizhi even more puzzled.
"That is..."
Gu Jiangli smiled helplessly, "Don't you understand? I'm pregnant."
Jiang Huai was stunned, completely overwhelmed by excitement, and even forgot to pretend to be sickly.
"You...! Jiang Li, you're pregnant! You're pregnant again!"
"Yes, haven't you always wanted another child? In a few months, you'll be a father again."
"Oh my god!" Jiang Huaizhi gripped Gu Jiangli's hands tightly. "I'm going to be a father again?"
"yes."
“Jiang Li, we…we’ll go back first. I’ll have Doctor An come over…From today onwards, I will stay by your side every step of the way.”
"Huaizhi, why are you acting like it's your first time being a father?"
He wasn't this excited and at a loss when she was pregnant with Nanyu before.
“When you were pregnant with Nan Yu, I was also very grateful to Xing En, but I didn’t dare to show it. After all, I was still pretending to be a refined and elegant young man back then. Jiang Li, this time is different. I don’t need to act composed anymore. I’m very happy and grateful that this child has come into my life.”
Jiang Huai's eyes turned red.
Gu Jiangli's heart softened; he really did like children.
He had always wanted another child, but he had never been too embarrassed to ask.
Now, the second child has arrived just in time.
Jiang Huaizhi led her downstairs, taking each step with utmost care, as if he were holding a precious treasure.
After returning to the city lord's mansion, he took even more meticulous care of him.
He wanted to inquire about everything concerning her, no matter how small.
News of her pregnancy quickly spread throughout the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's wife was shocked and repeatedly pulled Doctor An aside to ask him all sorts of questions, wanting to see if there was a mistake in the diagnosis.
But An Guangbai proved to her time and time again that Gu Jiangli was indeed pregnant, and that the pregnancy was stable and the baby was healthy.
The city lord's wife then gave up and, pretending to be concerned, went with the city lord to offer congratulations with gifts.
Jiang Huaizhi did not turn them away; on the contrary, he actively invited them to come.
He knew very well that the city lord's wife would prefer to see news of Sun Chan's pregnancy, but there was nothing he could do, as the pregnant woman was Jiang Li.
Seeing her expression of discomfort yet forced congratulations, Jiang Huaizhi felt a surge of pleasure.
After seeing off the city lord's wife, Jiang Huaizhi carefully sat down next to Gu Jiangli, gently placing his hand on her lower abdomen with a tender expression that could melt anyone's heart.
Gu Jiangli found the mushy talk cheesy, so she changed the subject and asked, "Nan Yu is leaving soon, how are your arrangements going?"
When it came to Nan Yu, Jiang Huaizhi became much more serious. "It's all arranged. I've given him all my most capable men. The capital is far away, and we won't be around to help him. He needs trustworthy people by his side. With them around, Nan Yu won't be bullied, even in the capital where nobles abound."
"That's good. I'm a little sad that Nan Yu is leaving so soon."
"Nan Yu said he'll come back once every six months, so it won't be too long before you see him. If you really miss him, we can go to the capital to find him after the second child is born. It won't be troublesome."
Gu Jiangli smiled faintly: "Okay, we can go to the capital city sometime. I've never been there before."
"Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. After the baby is born, I'll go with you wherever you want to go."
That promise sounds incredibly tempting.
"Then I'll have to put in a lot of effort to arrange it."
"I'll take you sightseeing, I'll make sure you have a great time."
Jiang Huai's eyes were gentle, but his words were firm, making it easy to become captivated by him.
Gu Jiangli nestled in his arms, waiting for the easy days to come.
The following spring, the city lord's mansion welcomed its most distinguished guest in history.
The teacher of Baiwen Academy came in person to invite Nanyu to study in the capital.
