Chapter 107 Su Yuanzheng's Child Bride
Xia Yutong was eager to meet little Su Yixia as soon as possible. She looked down at her flat belly, "Su Yixia..."
Looking up, she met Su Yuanzheng's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the man's tense face as he rubbed his forehead against hers.
A pregnant woman standing nearby sighed, "This young couple is so loving. In a few years, sigh... they'll be just like me."
The pregnant woman shook her head helplessly, which caught Xia Yutong's attention. "What's wrong, sister?"
"You two haven't been married long, have you?"
"That's right."
“They look like a young couple. Let’s wait and see in a few years. This is my third child. Ever since my second child, I’ve been doing everything myself.”
As she spoke, the pregnant woman stared at Su Yuanzheng, "So handsome, and outside..."
Su Yuanzheng's face immediately darkened. "I love my wife very much. Don't say such things and make her anxious."
The pregnant woman paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, but I'm just telling the truth. Women really shouldn't get married too early..."
Xia Yutong wanted to ask more questions, but the pregnant woman had already entered a consultation room.
Not far away, several pregnant women sitting near the nurses' station were also looking at the couple.
Xia Yutong suddenly realized that most of the pregnant women came for prenatal checkups alone, carrying their big bellies.
She was the only exception; Su Yuanzheng was always with her. Several of the pregnant women looked like they'd seen her before…
After seeing the doctor, paying the fees, and undergoing the examination, Xia Yutong sat there waiting for Su Yuanzheng to return. A pregnant woman smiled and said, "Your husband always comes with you."
"Hmm, you..."
"I've seen you several times," the pregnant woman said. "I envy you."
Xia Yutong only began to experience the life of a pregnant woman after she transmigrated. In the past, she felt that marriage and childbirth were far away from her and she hardly ever considered these aspects.
So she didn't know that the kind of situation she remembered, where her husband accompanied her to every prenatal checkup and she was surrounded by her whole family to care for her after she got pregnant, really only existed in novels among people who were very much in love.
The pregnant woman said something and quickly went inside to talk to the doctor. Xia Yutong sat on the cold chair, watching the pregnant women waiting outside for their examinations.
When Su Yuanzheng arrived, he saw her lost in thought. "What's wrong?"
"Many people came on their own during the expedition."
"Yes, her husband is with her too, you see."
In fact, Su Yuanzheng grew up in Nanbian Village and had seen many couples who just made do with each other.
His parents, Luo Caixia and Su Jianguo, did not get married because they loved each other.
The parents met, thought it went well, arranged for the two to meet, and then got married.
According to Su Jianguo, he had only met Luo Caixia a few times before marrying her, and thought she was very beautiful, and felt embarrassed when he saw her.
As a child, Su Yuanzheng didn't know what love was and didn't understand it at all, so he asked his father.
Do you like your mom?
"You child, asking such questions at such a young age."
"Isn't marriage supposed to be based on love?"
When Su Jianguo talked to his childhood friend Su Yuanzheng about his marriage, he was a little shy. "Yuanzheng, to be honest, when your mother first married me, I didn't even hold her hand. It was only later, when we got to know each other, that we started holding hands."
Su Yuanzheng then asked, "So how did you give birth to your older sister?"
"That all happened later."
Even when he was very young, Su Yuanzheng knew very well that people who are together are not necessarily together because they love each other, but also because they are compatible.
Later, when he was older, Su Jianguo asked him, "Yuanzheng, what will you do in the future if you're so naughty? Who will marry you?"
"My sister will marry me."
Xia Yutong had already come to the Su family at that time. She was frighteningly well-behaved and caused no trouble at all, like an adorable doll.
Upon hearing this, Su Jianguo felt that although Su Yuanzheng was young and ignorant, he had offended the other party.
Enraged, she grabbed her shoe and ran after him, yelling, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Out of curiosity and with a naive mind, Su Yuanzheng sneaked into Xia Yutong's room while the adults were asleep.
The little boy, with thin arms and legs, barefoot and showing his bare feet, stood by the window, touching her nose and then her eyes, before snuggling into a bed with her.
The little girl, who was fast asleep, suddenly screamed when she sensed someone beside her, and Su Yuanzheng quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't call me that, it's my brother, it's my brother..."
Xia Yutong was terrified of him at the time, as he always teased her and frightened her with all sorts of insects, which left her with psychological trauma.
Her tone softened as soon as she heard it was him, "Brother..."
"I was worried you'd be scared sleeping alone, so I came to sleep with you."
Xia Yutong: ……
"Brother will hold you while you sleep. You sleep, and brother will hold you. Don't worry, brother will protect you. If there are ghosts or monsters, brother will help you drive them away."
He held Xia Yutong in his arms, and she didn't dare to move, afraid that he would be unhappy and bully her again. Her voice was soft and gentle, "Brother, I'm afraid of the heavy insects."
"I won't scare you anymore. I'll protect you, cherish you, and love you, okay?"
"elder brother……"
"I'll buy you candy later, and when you grow up, I'll buy you pretty little dresses."
"Um."
At that time, Xia Yutong especially hated Su Yuanzheng, but she knew she had no choice. Her parents were gone, and she could only stay in the Su family.
Su Jianguo couldn't protect her forever; he was just a helper in the Xia family, and he had a slight connection with her parents. It was already good enough that he could support her.
Su Yuanzheng is his biological son. How could she, an orphan, be more important to him than his own son?
"Tongtong, do you like your brother?"
Xia Yutong thought to herself, "I hate you so much, let go of me now!"
But she was just being held softly by Su Yuanzheng, saying, "Brother, I can't breathe."
"Tongtong, from now on, your brother will hold you every night while you sleep, okay? Don't tell Mom and Dad."
Xia Yutong: ……
"Okay or not, if you don't say yes, I'll catch a hundred caterpillars and put them in your bed tomorrow."
Just listening to it made the little girl start to tremble.
"elder brother……"
"If you agree to sleep with me, I won't catch caterpillars to scare you."
She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, her nerves were on edge, and she didn't know when she finally fell asleep.
The little boy held the little girl in his arms, and they slept together until the next morning.
Su Jianguo pushed open the door, picked up the little brat, threw him back into his own room, and gave him a severe scolding...
"Dad, I like my little sister."
"I want to marry my sister, and when we grow up, we'll have children."
He's still a child, but he has a lot of ideas. Su Jianguo chased after him and beat him up, saying, "Aren't you ashamed? How old are you to say such things..."
"I want to have lots and lots of children with my sister..."
Su Jianguo couldn't catch up with Su Yuanzheng and was exhausted from the journey. Su Yuanzheng ran and talked all the way, and gradually, the story of the little girl who was adopted by the emperor spread.
Wherever Xia Yutong went, it was as if Su Yuanzheng had branded her; she was Su Yuanzheng's person. She swallowed her anger until she went to university, when she finally turned against him completely.
