Chapter 116 – Full Text Complete
Facing Yun Qinwang’s actions, Lu Yuner felt no discomfort in her heart. She had never experienced or understood male pregnancy.
Especially since it was early in the pregnancy, the fetus was not yet stable. Yun Qinwang held a high position and was surrounded by useful people who could provide the best care for A Wan, which reassured her considerably.
At the same time, as Lu Yuner’s closest friend, Han Ranzhi and others came bearing gifts to congratulate upon hearing the good news. Lu Yuner simply held a small celebratory banquet at the manor to entertain them.
Su Qingwan, having just become pregnant, was experiencing the joy of fatherhood for the first time. To give birth to offspring for Lu Yuner, he had been carefully following the doctor’s instructions, resting peacefully at home to nurture the fetus.
Today, Lu Yuner returned home directly after finishing her classes as usual. Although Su Qingwan was in early pregnancy, he fortunately only had mild morning sickness, but still needed plenty of rest.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, and the students soon to start their holiday break, there were various exams and coursework to complete before the holiday, making recent days quite busy.
These past few days they hadn’t seen each other during the day, and upon returning home she couldn’t properly accompany him. Su Qingwan wanted to stay with her in the study to help grade the students’ work.
So after dinner, concerned about Lu Yuner, Su Qingwan wanted to rest in the study. Lu Yuner worried about disturbing him and told him to sleep in their bedroom, but he stubbornly refused, his eyes brimming with tears. Recalling the doctor’s instructions that pregnant men should maintain a good mood, Lu Yuner eventually gave in to his wishes.
However, Lu Yuner had been teaching for several months and quickly dealt with the remaining coursework. Being efficient in her work, and to avoid worrying Su Qingwan, she always returned home on time, bringing back only unfinished work from the academy, so there wasn’t much.
In less than half an hour, she finished her work. After washing up, Lu Yuner quickly went to bed to rest with him.
To avoid having to get up in the middle of the night, only one lamp was left lit in the outer room, casting flickering shadows throughout the room, especially behind the screen.
Su Qingwan, with a rosy complexion, lay obediently in Lu Yuner’s arms wearing white undergarments. He touched his still-flat belly, looked up at her with loving eyes, and asked in a somewhat complex tone: “Yun Niang, if A Wan’s belly is not capable and bears a boy, will Yun Niang still like him?”
Lu Yuner’s eyes were filled with tender affection. She habitually reached out to caress his smooth, round cheeks, then couldn’t help but lean down to kiss his cheek, softly replying: “Whether it’s a boy or a girl, as long as A Wan gives birth to them for Yun Niang, Yun Niang will love them.”
In this female-dominated world, she didn’t want to put too much pressure on him. Moreover, she still held the mindset from another world – whether boy or girl, they were her own flesh and blood, she wanted them all and would love them all.
It was just that childbirth would be hard on him.
Suddenly, the warm, moist sensation on his fair cheek, along with such affectionate and gentle words, made Su Qingwan’s ears turn red and soft, his thoughts tumbling over each other.
Since Yun Niang had been willing to reveal her true identity to him, he knew she was different from the women here, with differences in concepts and ideas.
Because she was inherently a gentle and modest woman, whether here or in another world, her gentleness and cultivation had seeped into her bones. Even living here for so long, even forced by circumstances, she only went with the flow, never fundamentally changing.
Even so… he silently decided in his heart that even if the first child was a boy, he would continue to bear children for Yun Niang until he gave birth to a girl.
After all, filial piety comes first among all virtues, and having no heir is the greatest failing. This was also his responsibility as a husband.
To be honest… if Lu Yuner wasn’t the current Lu Yuner, he wouldn’t have fallen in love with her, because he had always been subdued by her gentleness.
She was Lu Yuner, but more importantly, she was herself – a gentle woman who treated everyone with courtesy.
Thinking of this, Su Qingwan’s eyes grew moist, his heart filled with emotion. Fortunately… she was his.
Now, feeling enveloped by her infinite love, a shy blush spread from his face across his entire body. His bashful, watery eyes held an intense gaze full of sincerity and passion. “This life is blessed with Yun Niang’s love, A Wan is content for this lifetime.”
Lu Yuner, her eyes full of affection, gently embraced him. The two cuddled intimately together as she lovingly kissed his forehead. “Yun Niang feels the same. I only wish to be with A Wan, one life, one world, one couple.”
Su Qingwan smiled brightly, pursing his lips. If he wasn’t newly pregnant, he would have already pounced on Yun Niang to properly indulge in intimacy.
However, for his own small intentions, he had secretly asked the doctor about marital relations after pregnancy. Intercourse was not allowed during the first and last three months of pregnancy, and even when allowed, movements should not be too vigorous.
He knew of Yun Niang’s desires in that regard, and that she wouldn’t go out to dally with others, but he couldn’t help himself…
In the days that followed, Lu Yuner and Su Qingwan continued to live in the study, while Liu Lan and Sheng Qingzi finally got married.
The old General Liu looked quite gratified. Beyond a marriage of equal status, she never expected this playboy would one day take a husband, have children, and settle down to a steady life.
As time passed, Su Qingwan’s pregnant belly became more and more obvious. Lu Yuner accompanied and cared for him whenever she had free time, while Yun Qinwang came to visit Su Qingwan at the manor every few days.
Soon the New Year approached, and Han Ranzhi’s household finally welcomed a new addition, rejoicing in the birth of a noble daughter.
Lu Yuner naturally went in person to offer congratulations and gifts, while Su Qingwan, being pregnant, stayed at home without going out due to the cold weather outside. The doctor had informed them it was twins, so extra care was needed with his big belly.
Han Ranzhi held a banquet, and after dining at the manor, Lu Yuner returned home as night fell, not lingering long.
After washing up, Lu Yuner quietly and quickly entered the study, afraid of bringing in any cold air. Because of the brazier inside, the room was warm and cozy. As soon as she entered, waves of warmth enveloped her, instantly wrapping her in comfort.
She slowly removed her heavy fur cloak for protection against the cold and hung it on the coat rack outside. Unexpectedly, a soft body pressed against her back, and a soft voice said, “Yun Niang, you’re back.”
“Mm, I’m back,” Lu Yuner smiled slightly, turning to look at him.
