Yuping covered her lips and smiled, her eyes and eyebrows showing unconcealable joy.
"Pregnant? I'm pregnant?" Yao Susu's face looked pale against her black hair, but her innocent and clear smile suddenly brightened her face.
Xu Zekun nodded and carefully held Yao Susu in his arms, his eyebrows soft and full of smiles: "Yes, we have a child, Susu."
Yao Susu leaned in Xu Zekun's arms and drank half a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine while Yuping helped her.
Seeing that she was still in a bad mood, Xu Zekun kissed her forehead and said with concern: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Yao Susu shook her head and said softly, "I feel dizzy after lying down for a long time. I want to sit in your arms for a while. It's very comfortable."
She said, closing her eyes gently.
Xu Zekun gently placed his large hand on her still flat belly, his voice so soft it could drip water: "Susu, I'm so happy. You don't know how fast my heart beat when the doctor said you were pregnant. I couldn't be happier than this."
He had not thought much about children before, but at this moment, he realized how much a child, especially the child of a loved one, meant to him.
Yao Susu smiled softly, covered Xu Zekun's big hand with her small hand, and said softly, "I am very happy too."

The matter in Wuzhou has been almost dealt with, and he should have returned to Beijing immediately.
However, Susu was suddenly diagnosed with pregnancy. After all, the first three months were not very safe. Xu Zekun did not dare to take the risk, so he waited for three months and the fetus was stable before he set out on the journey back to Beijing.
In order not to disturb the fetus, a safe water route was chosen.
Apart from some morning sickness in the beginning, Yao Susu's pregnancy was very stable. When she was just three months old, her belly was already slightly bulging. By the time she arrived in Beijing, her belly had become even more obvious.
Xu Zekun was away for such a long time this time. He returned to Beijing before the New Year. Old Madam Wu was waiting for her son at the door in person.
Naturally, Fang Yanran also followed.
The sound of wheels approached, and the servant in the mansion could be heard shouting joyfully, "Master is back!"
For some reason, Fang Yanran's heart also started pounding. Her last meeting with Feng Shaoxuan could be said to have made her completely give up on him.
After coming back and crying bitterly, the kindness Xu Zekun had shown her slowly emerged in her mind.
She was wrong. For the sake of such a heartless person, she had always ignored the people around her.
The carriage in front of her was getting closer and closer, and Fang Yanran's palms were soaked with sweat. She now wanted to live a good life with Xu Zekun, but she wondered if he... was willing?
With a whoosh, the carriage stopped at the door. A man in fine clothes lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. It was Xu Zekun, the son of the Marquis's family.
His hair was as if cut by a knife, his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and his expression was no longer as cold as before, but much softer, with a hint of joy.
Wu hadn't seen her son for so long, so she missed him very much. She rushed over and looked at Xu Zekun's face with tears in her eyes: "Zi Ling, you're back!"
Xu Zekun smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made mother worried."
Seeing Xu Zekun and his mother-in-law chatting, Fang Yanran felt a little uncomfortable.
He hadn't looked at her since he got off the car.
Yes, before he left, he was angry with her.
It was only natural that he ignored her now, she had to treat him well... Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her lips and wanted to go up to greet him, but she saw that Xu Zekun had turned around and went back to the carriage.
When she saw Yao Susu's face, Fang Yanran remembered this concubine who had gone to Wuzhou with Xu Zekun.
She was wearing a rabbit fur cape, her black hair combed back, revealing a smooth forehead. Having not seen her for so long, she looked even more beautiful. Her face was as beautiful as a camellia in full bloom, delicate and graceful.
Fang Yanran has always been proud of her appearance, which is why she disliked Yao Susu since she came into the family.
How could she accept that a lowly concubine was much more beautiful than her?
She watched coldly, but was startled when she noticed Xu Zekun's movements. He was protecting her waist with one hand and her stomach with the other, so cautious...
When Yao Susu got out of the car, it became even more obvious. Fang Yanran trembled and held Qingxing's wrist tightly to prevent herself from losing her voice.
I saw that Yao Susu's belly was bulging, and she was already pregnant.
When did this happen? How come she didn't know anything about it?!
But seeing Wu's smiling face, Fang Yanran's teeth were chattering with anger. Was this being kept secret from her alone?
Is she still the mistress of the Xu family?
Yao Susu snuggled up to Xu Zekun timidly and bowed to the old lady.
Mrs. Wu had already burst into laughter when she saw her belly. Although she had known through letters that Yao Susu was pregnant, she was very happy when she saw the real thing.
She knew that Yao Susu had a good fate. Look, she was pregnant less than a year after getting married.
Seeing Yao Susu about to bend down, he quickly waved his hand: "Don't move, don't move, don't sprain your waist or get a miscarriage."
When Fang Yanran saw Yao Susu nestling in Xu Zekun's arms, her petite figure, and pregnant with Xu Zekun's child, she felt the jealousy in her heart growing like wild weeds. Qingxing's wrist was hurt by being grabbed, but she didn't dare to say a word.
The old lady saw Fang Yanran's bad complexion and said, "During the time you were away, your wife came to visit me every morning and evening and helped me take care of the affairs of the mansion. She has worked hard."
This was not a lie. After Fang Yanran tried to repair her relationship with Xu Zekun, she became more attentive to the old lady.
Mrs. Wu had never been served by her daughter-in-law before, so when she saw that Fang Yanran was willing to lower herself to her, she naturally liked her more.
Now that Yao is pregnant, she will have to bring the child to Fang Yanran to raise after giving birth. Harmony is the right way for husband and wife.
Fang Yanran couldn't tell what she was feeling. Was she angry? But she knew that Yao came to the mansion to continue the family line, so why was she still so upset?
Everyone in this house knows that this lowly concubine is pregnant, but she doesn't know. Do they still take her seriously?
Her face turned cold and she looked at Xu Zekun. Whenever she was unhappy before, Xu Zekun would coax her.
But this time, her husband had been back for so long, and for the first time he laid his eyes on her, but his eyes were calm. He only nodded politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
It was like she was a stranger, and Fang Yanran's heart sank to the bottom.
-
Mrs. Wu did not fail to notice Xu Zekun's unexpected coldness towards Fang Yanran, but she was still immersed in the joy of Yao Susu's pregnancy and had no time to care about other things.
As soon as she entered the room, Yao Susu took off her cloak, revealing her rounded belly. Wu's eyes were filled with smiles as she hurriedly called out to Ziyuan, "Go get the ermine cushion from the cabinet and use it for Aunt Yao."
Yao Susu was flattered and said hurriedly, "Old Madam, no need."
Seeing that she did not take advantage of her favor and still seemed to know the rules, the old lady could not help but feel a little more satisfied: "Listen to me, a pregnant body is the most delicate and cannot stand the cold.
