Seeing that Chu Yan did not answer, Ye Nian'an subconsciously looked at his profile and found that the latter seemed to be thinking about something.
The moonlight cast dappled shadows on his sharply defined profile.
Her usually sharp, eagle-like phoenix eyes were now half-closed, her eyelashes casting a fine shadow beneath them, as if hiding a thousand secrets.
He didn't even hear what Ye Nian'an had just said.
"Brother Yan?"
Ye Nian'an's fingertips gently traced the calluses on his palm, where the dents from years of holding a gun remained, but the rough touch gave her a strange sense of peace.
"I……"
Chu Yan then came to his senses, a strange look appearing in his eyes: "Sorry, Niannian, I was thinking about something and didn't hear what you said clearly."
"Are you thinking about having children?"
Ye Nian'an hit the nail on the head.
Chu Yan sighed softly; he still couldn't hide anything from his wife.
“I’m still worried that you’ll experience a lot of pain and discomfort during childbirth. Just thinking about it makes me feel sad too…”
"So don't tell me any nonsense like 'Don't have any more children,' or 'Let's just leave it at that,' or I'll get angry, Yan-ge."
Ye Nian'an interrupted Chu Yan before he could finish speaking.
This time she was genuinely angry.
Chu Yan quickly coaxed, "Niannian, the child is not only mine, but also yours. It's a piece of flesh that fell from your body after you carried it for nine months."
"Since I became pregnant, my child has brought so much joy to our family. I know this is not something I can decide on my own."
"I know that even if I express my request like this, you will never agree. I'm just worried about you. Is this kind of feeling okay?"
Seeing that Chu Yan had no further thoughts and expressed respect for her, Ye Nian'an's anger subsided slightly.
She tilted her head back and bit his collarbone, her voice tinged with a coquettish tone: "Of course, you're right, I'm scared too, seeing how much pain Su Fang was in when she was giving birth..."
"But when Comrade Bai Chengshi brought the child out, I suddenly felt that nothing was scary anymore. The child was so small, like a little mouse, but just one look at him made me feel at ease."
“Brother Yan, no one can force me to do something I don’t want to do. I want to have a child. I want a child that belongs to us. Just like when you joined the army and went to the battlefield, it was your nature, not a requirement.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan gently brushed his nose against the stray hairs on her forehead, his breath hot against her skin: "If only I could take your pain away..."
Before he could finish speaking, she gently pressed her fingertips to his lips.
"When you were taking bullets on the battlefield, didn't you want someone to take your place?"
Ye Nian'an tilted her head back, moonlight shining into her eyes, reflecting shimmering light: "You have your main battlefield, and I have mine. Of course... if you can give birth, I definitely don't want to suffer, haha~"
Chu Yan suddenly buried his face in the crook of her neck, the stubble tickling her, but her eyes were slightly hot: "I will always be by your side."
If I could, I would love to take Ye Nian'an's place in having a child and bear this pain.
Chi Xinyao once secretly told Chu Yan that giving birth is the most painful thing in the world.
A foreign book once described it as the highest level of pain.
Not to mention the hardships of nine months of pregnancy, morning sickness, discomfort, and unpredictable changes.
Cherish every woman who is willing to have a child with you, because she truly sees you as a partner to spend her life with.
Because he cherishes Ye Nian'an, he doesn't want her to get hurt.
"Of course, I'll have your child, so you'll definitely have to be with me!"
Ye Nian'an laughed and punched his chest, but he grabbed her wrist in the process.
Moonlight climbed onto their intertwined shadows, casting two crooked outlines on the mottled earthen wall.
When they got home, Chu Zhenyuan and the others were overjoyed to hear that Meng Sufang had given birth to a big, healthy son.
"Niannian, now you're the only one left. These days are of utmost importance, so don't overwork yourself."
"Don't worry, Mom, I know exactly what's going on."
"Yes, Niannian, Mom has always trusted you to get things done."
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Nian'an is also nearing the end of her pregnancy.
She went to the medical station as usual that day.
Chi Xinyao took a special leave of absence for this, and stayed by her daughter-in-law's side every day, cooking her delicious meals in different ways, and remaining extremely vigilant at all times.
Work is important, but my daughter-in-law is even more important. I absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes!
"Nian An".
Meng Sufang walked into the medical station.
Ye Nian'an was dozing off when she heard the sound and immediately looked towards the door: "Su Fang, what brings you here? Don't you need to take care of the child?"
Because Li Qiuxia was in poor health and unable to take care of her grandson, the men had to go to work, while Meng Sufang stayed at home to take care of the child and manage the entire household.
Fortunately, Li Qiuxia did not act as maliciously towards Meng Sufang as she did towards her other two daughters-in-law.
On the contrary, after the child was born, her energy and spirits improved, and she even started to help out on her own initiative.
Everyone says that Meng Sufang is a lucky charm. The Bai family had tried everything to take care of Li Qiuxia, but her health had not improved.
As a result, once the child was born, Li Qiuxia was even able to work; it was simply a miracle.
As a result, the Bai family doted on their grandson, granting his every wish.
"I was thinking that since we hadn't seen each other for so long, and that it was almost time for you to give birth, I came to see you. I went to your house but couldn't find you; it turned out you were still at the medical station..."
