Chapter 592: Bandits (21)
So Qin Xiaoya stayed in the mountain stronghold. Chen Ziming was also an invisible doting husband. He was usually a shrewd and cunning strategist, but in front of his wife, he seemed exceptionally stupid.
Sure enough, a pot and a lid go hand in hand; when love comes, nothing can stop it.
Although Wen Wan didn't actually have a baby in her belly, she made her belly slowly grow round in order to avoid giving herself away. Wen Wan felt a mix of anticipation, fear, and uncertainty. In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it altogether, since thinking about it all was pointless anyway.
And there's another reason.
Wen Wan wanted to know what Gu Weiming would choose to do. In Wen Wan's mind, two little people were fighting. One little person believed in the plot of the novel and thought that Gu Weiming was definitely acting. After all, this family feud could not go unavenged. The other little person said: The system said that the people are real, not paper characters with a few sentences in a bad ending novel. The male protagonist has his own thoughts and his own personality. He is free.
The two little people fight every day, while Wen Wan just gives up.
She ate and drank as usual, even with a better appetite than usual. According to the system, she was now eating a two-person portion, which was naturally more than a single-person portion.
Moreover, she especially loved eating all kinds of sour foods. Shu Tong and Qin Xiaoya were so sour that their teeth ached, but then they saw Wen Wan eating them one after another.
"They say sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl, so Yue, you're definitely having a son this time."
After resting for a while, I saw Wen Wan start eating spicy beef jerky again.
The two: "..."
Finally, Shu Tong smiled and said, "This might be a twin."
Wen Wan: That's really unnecessary.
The system also asked her whether she wanted a son or a daughter. Wen Wan asked Gu Weiming whether he preferred a son or a daughter, and Gu Weiming replied, "I'll love any child you give birth to."
Wen Wan simply chose a daughter; her son was too naughty, so it was better to raise a little girl.
In the following months, Wen Wan felt weak all over and vomited every day, no matter what she ate, which made her feel half dead. Even Gu Weiming panicked several times, which made Wen Wan extremely angry.
"System, isn't this a fake pregnancy? Why are there so many symptoms?"
System: [This is to allow the host to experience what it's like to be a mother. It's also a requirement for the Library Bureau to apply for a child, because there have been cases where hosts have abandoned or killed their children. Therefore, in order for the host to love the child, the host must experience the pain of ten months of pregnancy. However, the host can rest assured that the moment of birth will be much easier than for an ordinary mother.]
Of course, since there's nothing to give birth to, it's naturally much easier.
However, simulating this process is truly too painful.
Soon, three months later, the system suddenly gave Wen Wan a jade doll, only the size of a palm, crystal clear.
"What's this?"
System: [Your future daughter.]
Wen Wan was so frightened she almost threw the jade doll away. "Are you sure you want to give me a child like this?"
System: [This is certainly not the final form; it's still a work in progress. For the next three months, you'll need to give the doll a drop of blood every month. Not only you, but Gu Weiming also needs it.]
Wen Yan: "???"
"Are you sure this isn't some kind of evil magic?" This sounds like something a villain in a TV drama would do. Taking blood like this is just too terrifying.
System: [After all, this is your child; you both need to be connected by blood.]
Wen Wan: "Can't I manage on my own?"
System: [No, without parental blood, the child cannot be born normally.]
Wen Yan: "..."
...
Wen Wan first took a drop of her blood and dripped it onto the jade doll. Then, in the middle of the night, Wen Wan opened her eyes and looked at Gu Weiming beside her. "Gu Weiming? Gu Weiming?"
There was no response; he was clearly asleep.
Wen Wan took Gu Weiming's hand, "Are you sure it won't leave a scar?"
System: [Hmm.]
Wen Wan took an ultra-fine embroidery needle, pricked Gu Weiming's finger, drew a drop of blood, and then took a doll from beside the pillow and dripped it onto the finger.
"I really feel like a villain, and a vicious one at that. This is so exciting."
Afterwards, Wen Wan nervously lay back down. Perhaps feeling guilty, Wen Wan didn't even dare to get close to Gu Weiming, but Gu Weiming pulled her into his arms. Wen Wan thought Gu Weiming had woken up and was worried to death, but the other party still kept his eyes closed and didn't seem to be awake at all.
Fortunately, this only needs to happen once a month. If it happened every day, Wen Wan would definitely give up on the child.
Gu Weiming also failed to notice.
Finally, the time for delivery arrived, and Wen Wan was taken to the hospital delivery room. Wen Wan was terrified.
The doctors in the delivery room froze the next second.
Soon, a child appeared on Wen Wan's bed. Unlike other newborns, this child was fair-skinned and tender, and not ugly at all.
After a while, the doctors moved and lost their memory of the period that had just passed. In their memory, they had helped Wen Wan give birth to a baby girl.
Wen Wan's belly also returned to its original state.
Although the system was unreliable, it kept its word at the last moment, at least making her delivery process exceptionally easy.
During her ten months of pregnancy, Wen Wan felt like she was almost half dead. She couldn't imagine how great mothers could endure the pain of childbirth. This was also why Wen Wan never resented her birth parents, even though she grew up in an orphanage.
Soon the doctor started giving Wen Wan a nutritional supplement and checked the child; the child was healthy.
Only then did he go out to share the good news with his family.
Gu Weiming was extremely nervous. He rushed over as soon as the doctor came out, "Doctor, is my wife alright?"
"The pregnant woman is fine and gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl."
"Can I go in and see her?"
Doctor: "Yes, but don't let the pregnant woman get too tired."
Gu Weiming opened the door and went in, just in time to meet Wen Wan's gaze on the hospital bed. Wen Wan smiled and said, "Your daughter."
Gu Weiming glanced at the baby, then focused all his attention on Wen Wan. Looking at Wen Wan's pale face, Gu Weiming felt heartbroken.
"Does it still hurt?"
Wen Wan: "She's alright. Why don't you give her a hug?"
Gu Weiming then picked up his daughter, who felt as soft as a cotton ball. Gu Weiming was somewhat panicked, worried that he might crush the child if he used too much strength. After looking at her for a few moments, he put her back on the bed.
"Ah Yue, are you hungry? You haven't eaten for so long. I'll go ask the doctor if you can eat." With that, she left to find the doctor.
Wen Wan looked at her daughter, who was being placed on the bed and crying loudly, and felt helpless. This father didn't seem very reliable.
Then came Shu Tong and Qin Xiaoya. Shu Tong held the baby and adored her. "Baby, I'm your godmother. You're so beautiful, with snow-white skin and big, bright eyes. If you look closely, you're a miniature version of A Yue and the Boss. You'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty."
Qin Xiaoya was also playing with the child, and Chen Ziming and Lei Ming kept calling him godfather, even arguing with each other about who the child's godfather was. Wen Wan looked at Shu Tong and Qin Xiaoya and said, "No noise in the ward. You two keep your families in check."
Shu Tong silenced Lei Ming, and Qin Xiaoya only needed to give Chen Ziming a look to cower in fear.
At this moment, Gu Weiming returned with a bowl of porridge, which had a faint smell of shredded chicken.
"The doctor said you can eat something light and nutritious, Yue, just make do with it."
Wen Wan nodded, and then, with Gu Weiming feeding her, she finished the whole bowl, her appetite was excellent.
Then Gu Weiming remembered that he had a precious daughter. "Wife, you can name our daughter. How about she takes your surname?"
Wen Yan: "???"
Her original surname was Wen, so why should this child take her surname? She didn't want her child to have the surname Liu, so she said, "Our daughter will take your surname, and I'll choose the name. I've already thought of it, it'll be Gu Nianwen."
Wen Wan naturally had her own clever idea, and she also wanted to include her surname in the design.
Gu Weiming had no objection. "Then let's call her Tangyuan. She looks just like a tangyuan dumpling, all white and clean."
Gu Weiming nodded. "Let's call it Tangyuan."
The people nearby: "..."
A girl named Tangyuan? That's such a perfunctory name. But looking at Tangyuan's father, it seems like Tangyuan will have to rely on her godparents to take care of her in the future.
Wen Wan was discharged from the hospital quickly, and even the doctor said that she recovered very quickly and had a good constitution.
After returning to the mountain stronghold, Wen Wan was even more protected. Even when walking, Gu Weiming wanted to carry her. They were always so clingy that Wen Wan got annoyed. "Don't you have anything else to do? You've been taking care of me at the hospital all this time. You should have a lot of things to handle at the stronghold, right?"
Gu Weiming: "With Ziming here, he will handle it."
Wen Yan: "..."
Chen Ziming, you probably never expected that your family's business tycoon would become so lazy. You've worked hard.
Little Tangyuan instantly became the darling of the village, loved by everyone and admired by all. A group of strong men, as if experiencing a maternal outburst, caused Wen Wan to spend most of her time without being able to hold the child. The child was taken in and cared for by different people.
Because it is essentially a system, it is quite different from ordinary babies. The most obvious difference is that its IQ is too high.
She was born not long ago, doesn't cry or fuss, smiles happily whenever anyone holds her, and isn't picky about food; she eats whatever anyone offers.
Everyone adored her. Even Qin Xiaoya, who didn't want children, wanted to have one after seeing her goddaughter like this. Unfortunately, these things depend on luck and can't be created overnight. Qin Xiaoya glared at Chen Ziming countless times for this.
Chen Ziming: "???"
An unexpected disaster.
Two months later, Tangyuan was able to stand up and walk, although she was a little unsteady, and she could even call out. The first word she called was to Wenwan. Wenwan had never really felt that she had a child, but when Tangyuan called her "Mom" in her babyish voice, Wenwan instantly felt a wonderful warm current fill her whole body. So this was the feeling of kinship? It felt magical, but also quite nice.
