Chapter 34: Pregnancy Isn’t That Simple, Vomiting Isn’t Considered Very Severe…

“If you’re dizzy, rest more. Young Master’s body hasn’t fully recovered from last time, so you will feel more fatigued than ordinary pregnant men this time. Sleeping more can alleviate it,” the physician said from the side.

“Also, Young Master must be very careful this time. If another unfortunate accident occurs, I’m afraid even Blood Replenishing Tonic won’t be able to save you.”

Seeing Meng Huan’s face greatly change, Wen Zhaoyin gave the physician a look. “Don’t say those words to scare Huan Huan. There definitely won’t be any accidents this time, right?”

Meng Huan hurriedly nodded. “Right, right! I definitely can’t be like last time again!”

Receiving her look, the physician continued scaring him. “Moreover, Young Master must also be careful with your diet this time, avoiding mistakenly consuming things harmful to the child. Otherwise… it will also cause great harm to the body, no less than the blood collapse last time.”

This was telling him not to attempt going out to buy some unreliable medicine. That would be courting death.

Meng Huan was indeed frightened, repeatedly promising to pay attention to diet issues. In his heart, he also rejected the method of using abortion drugs to get rid of the child.

The physician still wanted to give some more reminders, but was interrupted by Wen Zhaoyin as soon as he started speaking, because she felt these words were already enough to shock Meng Huan.

“If there are any points needing attention, you can write them on paper. When it’s written, send it to my study.”

“Alright, this old woman will take her leave first.” The physician was someone with tact. Seeing her speak, he took the initiative to bid farewell and leave.

With only the two of them and a few scattered servants left in the room, Wen Zhaoyin looked at the dumbfounded Meng Huan, the smile on her face growing more brilliant.

She put down the snacks and the sugar water in his hands. After wiping her hands, she sat beside him and gently held him in her arms.

“Take good care of the fetus. After the child is born, I will formally welcome you as a concubine.” Originally, when she first brought him into the family, she wanted to write a husband recruitment document, giving him the status of a lesser attendant.

But Meng Huan had always been uncooperative, never having a day of peace. So she temporarily put aside those thoughts.

Now that there was a child, and she had developed some feelings for him, Wen Zhaoyin felt she couldn’t let him suffer in vain. She planned to give Meng Huan the status of a concubine after the child was born.

Don’t underestimate the difference between a lesser attendant and a concubine. Although both were inferior, their statuses were worlds apart.

Meng Huan came from a merchant family, and his mother wasn’t even from an illustrious merchant family. Being a lesser attendant was already above his usual station. Letting him be a concubine was an immense honor.

But she was willing to honor him.

Meng Huan had no mind to think about these things, only agreeing with “mhm” and “ah”, not really taking it to heart.

He was now filled with thoughts of what to do. He couldn’t use physical methods and couldn’t use medicine. Could it be that this time he would really have to give birth to the child?!

No way! He was a man, how could he give birth?!

“I, I want to know, where does the child come out from?” He had always been avoiding this question. Now, feeling that there seemed to be no other option besides giving birth, he reluctantly forced himself to face this question.

Meng Huan was certain his physiological structure was very normal. Apart from his bottom bleeding, he was completely the same as modern men.

So, did giving birth also have to be from there?

Wen Zhaoyin was originally a bit angry that his reaction was too calm. Now hearing him ask this question, she almost laughed out loud.

“It’s just from… there,” she whispered close to his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.

“I don’t want to give birth! I won’t give birth!” Meng Huan’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected it to really be from there!

Could that give birth? He knew how big newborns were. To give birth from his that place, how was it possible? It would hurt enough to kill someone!

His emotions suddenly agitated, he tugged on her arm while shaking his head, tears brimming in his eyes, truly frightened.

“Wen Zhaoyin, my wife… I’m begging you, don’t make me give birth, okay? Can that place be used to give birth? It will definitely hurt to death. You know I’m most afraid of pain…”

He couldn’t think of a solution himself, but he believed Wen Zhaoyin definitely had one. Now Meng Huan cared about nothing else, afraid and continuously begging her.

“Don’t make me give birth, I really don’t want to give birth…”

Wen Zhaoyin lowered her head to look at Meng Huan who was pressing against her body, unusually feeling a bit soft-hearted.

So he was so reluctant to give birth because he was afraid of pain? It was truly cowardly yet adorable.

She didn’t mind the mess, directly using her hand to wipe away the tears on his face, then gently comforted, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Men all have to go through this.”

“At that time, I’ll be by your side accompanying you. If you’re in pain, just hold onto me tightly. The child will be born very quickly.” Reasonably speaking, women couldn’t enter the delivery room, otherwise they would be tainted with bad luck. But she was willing to make an exception for him.

If other female-dominant men heard this, they would probably be so moved they would immediately give their lives to their wife. Such a good woman was rare to see in the world.

However, after hearing this, Meng Huan wasn’t moved at all. Instead, he cried even more fiercely, “No, no, I don’t want to give birth…”

“What use is holding onto you? Can you replace my pain or give birth for me? Wuwu, I just don’t want to give birth…”

Wen Zhaoyin disliked hearing him say he didn’t want the child the most. But now he was crying and weakly begging her, making it impossible for her to harden her heart and scold him.

Helpless, she could only slowly analyze with him, “The physician just said, you can’t abort, otherwise it will endanger your life! Between life and giving birth, which is more important?”

Of course life was more important. Nothing was more crucial than being alive. But he was really so scared!

Meng Huan felt he could already accept the fact that men could get pregnant. He wasn’t as resistant as before. But pregnancy was pregnancy, birth was birth. Being pregnant was like having a long belly, but giving birth had to use his precious part!

How, how could that work?! Just thinking about it made his bird hurt.

Wen Zhaoyin very patiently patted his back for him, coaxing him bit by bit, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. At that time, I’ll invite the most skilled midwife for you. If you also put in effort, you’ll be able to give birth very quickly.”

Meng Huan was completely numb. He no longer made a sound to beg her, only quietly leaning against her, silently shedding tears, his eyes blankly staring ahead in a daze.

Give birth? Did he have any other choice besides giving birth?

No!

Who knew how long he cried, how much mental preparation he made, before he reluctantly accepted the fact that he had to give birth.

He blinked his swollen eyes with effort, raising his face to leave Wen Zhaoyin’s shoulder that he had cried half wet, squatting with his knees hugged in a self-protective posture.

“Then I want to go out for a walk,” he said with a hoarse voice.

As if afraid Wen Zhaoyin wouldn’t understand his meaning, Meng Huan raised his head again and said to her, “Not walking around the Wen residence, but going out, to the streets. I want freedom. If you want me to give birth, don’t keep me confined at home.”

Since the reality couldn’t be changed, he wanted to fight for more rights for himself. He would go out and familiarize himself with the place sooner or later, then wait until after giving birth to run away!

Female dominance was too terrifying! This time, he didn’t want to go anywhere, only wanting to find a place without women to live in seclusion.

Even if he didn’t interact with others and lived a solitary life in the mountains, it was still better than being clothed in splendor yet constantly worrying about getting pregnant.

Wen Zhaoyin thought for a bit and felt it could be considered. “Alright, but in the first three months when the fetus isn’t stable yet, you can’t go out. After making sure there are no issues with the child, you can go out and play.”

Huan Huan truly had a wild nature. Even with a child, he still thought about going out to play. Although she felt a bit helpless, it wasn’t like she couldn’t indulge him.

Three months? Meng Huan thought about it and felt time passed quickly. He was already over a month now, so it wasn’t too long until three months.

“Okay, you can’t go back on your promise!”

“When has your wife ever lied to you?” Wen Zhaoyin reached out to rub his head, in a very good mood.

She accompanied him here for a while longer, watching him drink the congee that was sent over before leaving. Before departing, she even said she would return early to accompany him.

Whether she accompanied him or not, Meng Huan truly didn’t care, but he also didn’t dislike it. Since she had already said so, he cooperatively nodded and said okay.

After Wen Zhaoyin and Pei Lan left, Wen Xi kowtowed with a thud in front of Meng Huan’s bed, repeatedly knocking his head to admit his mistake.

He cried, saying he had tripped Young Master today, that he had let Young Master down. Fortunately there were no issues now. If something had happened, he would be the biggest sinner in the Wen family.

Meng Huan hurriedly told him to stand up. He truly didn’t mind Wen Xi tripping him.

Wen Xi didn’t do it on purpose. Even if the child was lost, he couldn’t be blamed. Moreover, the child was fine now, so being tripped was just being tripped.

Meng Huan’s head was still dizzy right now. He only told Wen Xi not to overthink it and dismissed him.

Who knew that Wen Xi, who was usually quite tactful, would suddenly become so persistent in this matter? He went out and knelt at the door, kneeling for an entire day.

Meng Huan had slept due to his dizziness, groggily waking up in the evening. It was only when he went out to relieve himself that he discovered the person kneeling at the door.

Having just woken up, he was in good spirits. He gave Wen Xi some psychological counseling before managing to persuade him to get up, quite attentively.

However, who knew that after he finished relieving himself, Wen Zhaoyin would come? As soon as she arrived, she coldly ordered Wen Xi to kneel, completely undoing all the progress he had made in persuading him.

“He’s already been kneeling for an entire day. Don’t make him kneel anymore. Isn’t the child fine?” Meng Huan looked at Wen Xi, feeling that if he kept kneeling like this, his legs would surely become disabled sooner or later.

However, Wen Zhaoyin was completely unmoved. He could only continue saying, “Pei Lan has been following you since she was little. Can you bear to let her keep kneeling?”

“If I say the child is fine, let’s just pretend it never happened.”

After interacting for a year, apart from being a bit effeminate, Wen Xi had no faults at all. Moreover, he took such attentive care of Meng Huan, who had long considered him a friend.

Having his friend kneel like this for him, he truly felt a bit guilty in his heart, especially since it was caused by the child he disliked.

Wen Zhaoyin turned around and grabbed his hand, her other arm gently wrapping around his waist in a protective manner. Then, she said with a dark expression, “No.”

“Today, you were lucky that nothing happened. But there’s no guarantee that nothing will happen every time in the future. If you still want to keep him by your side, let him kneel and remember this lesson well, thoroughly correcting his reckless habits.”

“Pei Lan is the same. Despite following me for so many years, she is still so impetuous. If Wen Xi kneels for two days, she will kneel for four days!”

Her words were resounding, carrying an unquestionable tone that left no room for further persuasion.

Meng Huan shook his head and simply stopped looking at the two kneeling people, returning to the room to read a storybook.

But who knew that as soon as he picked up the storybook, a strong scent of ink would fill his nose? His brows furrowed as he hurriedly tossed the book aside. Before he could even reach the spittoon, he was already bent over in discomfort, vomiting.

Pregnancy was far from being as simple as just growing flesh like he had imagined. Different stages of pregnancy had different symptoms, more than enough to make him drink a pot.
