Chapter 717 Collaboration - Far-fetched
Gently placing Gu Renjie's hand on her abdomen, Meng Wei blushed and said, "Doctor Kong said I'm pregnant."
"What?" Gu Renjie's eyes had never widened so much. He looked at Meng Wei, then at the positions of his subordinates, unable to hide his excitement.
The two had been married for some time now, and although Gu Renjie hadn't expected to have a child so soon, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he received the news.
In the past, Gu Renjie could only take Meng Wei to see his second brother's children, and he even looked forward to seeing what Gu Shuyan's child would look like when it was born.
Now that he knows he is about to become a father, Gu Renjie has never looked forward to the arrival of a life so much.
"That's wonderful! I'm going to be a father!" Gu Renjie said, tightly grasping Meng Wei's hand. "My wife, thank you!"
Gu Renjie was always calm and gentle, and this was the first time Meng Wei had ever seen him so happy, like a child.
Just as the couple were immersed in their joy, Gu Yingjie's head appeared by the door. He called out somewhat shyly, "Big Brother."
Gu Renjie turned around and saw Gu Yingjie's somewhat timid appearance, but he didn't roll his eyes at him.
Seeing this, Gu Yingjie became even more frightened. "Brother, you ran away before I could even finish speaking."
Gu Yingjie showed a good attitude in admitting his mistake, but he was afraid that Gu Renjie would settle scores with him later and cause him trouble.
Gu Renjie was immersed in the joy of having a son and was no longer angry. When he saw Gu Yingjie, he even showed an unusually kind smile.
"Little sister, big brother, big brother smiled."
Gu Yingjie gave Gu Shuyan, who was standing to the side, a fearful look. Over the years, he had seen Gu Renjie smile quite often.
But most of the time, Gu Renjie's smile is definitely not a good thing, at least not for him.
Seeing how much his second brother was traumatized by his eldest brother, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder with sympathy and whispered, "Brother, good luck to you!"
Gu Shuyan also felt that Gu Renjie's smile was not so simple, and was preparing to abandon Gu Yingjie and run away.
To their surprise, Gu Renjie came out carrying Meng Wei and stood in front of the two of them.
"Hehe, big brother." Gu Shuyan grinned and smiled at Gu Renjie.
Gu Renjie nodded, then said, "Shu'er also knows about your sister-in-law's pregnancy?"
Gu Shuyan's presence here naturally meant she couldn't claim ignorance, so she nodded under Gu Renjie's somewhat dangerous gaze.
Seeing this, Gu Renjie's smile became even more amiable. "Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant, in order for the children to receive a good education, you should bring the children here every day and play with your little nephew and niece for an hour."
Gu Renjie's words were utterly unprecedented, leaving Gu Yingjie and Gu Shuyan speechless with their mouths agape.
"Brother, your wife is only newly pregnant. Isn't this a bit far-fetched?"
Gu Yingjie completely forgot his earlier timidity, immediately straightened his back, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but touch her belly and say, "Brother, it's fine if Xiao Congzheng goes to play, but I'm still in my belly!"
“I don’t care, children need to be nurtured from a young age.”
Gu Renjie suddenly transformed into an unreasonable elder, and regardless of whether the two agreed or not, he carried Meng Wei towards his own couple's courtyard.
"Husband, just now..."
Meng Wei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself. Gu Renjie then took over and said, "Was I a little too much just now?"
Meng Wei was surprised that Gu Renjie knew all along, so she nodded, acknowledging her own thoughts.
Gu Renjie smiled indulgently at him and replied, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You're newly pregnant and just fainted, it would be so boring for you to be alone in the yard. They'll take turns coming to keep you company, so you won't get bored by yourself."
Gu Renjie's meticulous care warmed Meng Wei's heart. In the past, her mother had worried that she might not have a good life after marrying into the family.
But once she entered the gates of the Marquis's mansion, Meng Wei truly understood what a good family and a good husband meant. Her parents-in-law were understanding and reasonable, her younger siblings were lively and adorable, and even her younger siblings and their husbands were kind and agreeable. She wondered how many lifetimes of good fortune she had accumulated to meet such a family.
"Thank you, my husband." Meng Wei buried her head in Gu Renjie's arms, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
Upon seeing this, Gu Renjie's smile widened even further.
Thinking of the two little rascals scratching their heads behind him, Gu Renjie's pent-up frustration instantly vanished.
Don't think he knows nothing. Gu Shuyan and Gu Yingjie deliberately plotted against him and told Ji Wenjin the truth. They were so audacious. As their older brother, he couldn't let them scheme against him for nothing.
It's said that children pay for their parents' debts; if younger siblings make mistakes, their children have to make the payments. This is a good opportunity to let the children get closer to Meng Wei and the child in her womb.
"I knew I shouldn't have come with you."
Gu Shuyan's pregnancy was going through a lot, and walking around like this was already tiring enough, but today she walked around twice.
"You still have to say that? If I had known, I wouldn't have helped you with this. Now I feel so bad for making Jing'er take Zheng'er there every day."
Gu Renjie couldn't help but say it as well.
Despite their complaints, the brother and sister could only accept their fate and went back to rest.
When Yun Yichen saw that Gu Shuyan looked exhausted as soon as she returned, he quickly stepped forward to support her. "What's wrong? Are you exhausted?"
"My elder brother told me that I must spend an hour with my sister-in-law every day from now on."
Gu Shuyan wore a bitter expression. The thought of having to drag her inconvenient body so far in the future filled her with despair.
Although the Yun family mansion and the Gu family mansion seem to be neighbors, both are such large residences that it would take half an hour to walk from the backyard to the frontyard, let alone running between the two mansions.
"I just told you not to go, and to let him handle it himself, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened!"
Seeing Gu Shuyan's exhausted appearance, Yun Yichen felt extremely distressed and for a moment failed to consider Gu Shuyan's feelings when he spoke.
Having just received devastating news, Gu Shuyan, who was immediately scolded upon her return, had tears welling up in her eyes. "It wasn't my choice to go. What was I doing all this for? It wasn't anyone who came back and told me that my cousin might know some other secrets. I just wanted to find out as soon as possible what the situation was between Prince Xian and my cousin."
Gu Shuyan was already prone to sensitivity due to her pregnancy, and this grievance was magnified infinitely, causing tears to stream down her cheeks.
