Looking at Yu Shu still lying on the bed with eyes closed, appearing obedient and well-behaved, pangs of guilt stabbed at her conscience.

She wanted to smile, but thinking of how young Yu Shu was, she felt embarrassed to smile. What a sin!

At most, Yu Shu wasn’t even a full 19 years old yet.

Although she was very satisfied with Yu Shu as a son-in-law, did Xiaoxiao make a move too early?

But imagining Yu Shu might give birth to a child as obedient as him, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

Sigh, this matter truly left her not knowing whether to be happy or not.

Yan Jin’s father maintained a dignified smile, but inwardly applauded and cheered for his daughter: Well done Xiaoxiao!

Yan Jin thought she misheard. “Excuse me, did you just say he, my husband, is pregnant?”

How could Yu Shu be pregnant?

Even if drinking the Nanjiang water changed his physique, he couldn’t get pregnant this quickly.

“Your words are quite strange.” The young doctor looked at Yan Jin even more oddly. “You’re not aware of your own husband’s pregnancy?”

Yan Jin: “But we’ve been quite frequent in our marital affairs. Don’t they say the more frequent, the harder it is to conceive?”

Flustered by Yan Jin’s blunt words, the young doctor’s face heated up. Even with the principle that “to a doctor there are no men or women”, who casually spoke of marital affairs?

However, hearing Yan Jin say this reminded the young doctor of the pulse he just took, making him a bit unsure of his previous judgment. He lightly coughed. “My mother just went out on a house call and will return soon. If it puts your mind at ease, the lady can have my mother check again later.”

After thanking the young doctor, Yan Jin sat by the bed keeping watch over the still unconscious Yu Shu.

Yu Shu’s thick lashes were lowered, making him look no different from the older boy before.

As Yan Jin watched, she couldn’t resist reaching out to touch Yu Shu’s belly.

His stomach was very flat. Even through the fabric, Yan Jin could clearly feel his abs.

Could such a flat belly hold a child?

If he was really pregnant, how could the delicate Yu Shu endure the hardships of pregnancy?

Should they… abort the child?

When Yu Shu woke up, Yan Jin was furrowing her brows, wavering between the options of “abortion” and “having the baby”.

“Xiaoxiao.” Yu Shu called out to Yan Jin, “What are you thinking about? You look so serious.”

Yan Jin blurted out, “Should we abort the child?”

“Abort the child?” Yu Shu repeated, only reacting to the meaning of her solemn words after saying them, “You mean I’m pregnant? And you want to abort the child!”

Realizing her loose tongue, Yan Jin said, “…Childbirth is like stepping through the gates of hell, and the birthing conditions here are too primitive. I’m afraid something will happen to you.”

[Although I’m looking forward to Yu Shu having a child, Yan Jin’s words make sense.] [That may be true, but if my husband told me to abort our child when I was pregnant, I would definitely argue with him.]

Yu Shu refused to listen to Yan Jin’s explanation, gripping the bedsheet with his hands. “Men can give birth here, so why am I the only delicate one who can’t?”

“The child is the fruit of our love. Xiaoxiao, don’t you look forward to the birth of our child?”

“I do too.” Yan Jin reached out to stroke Yu Shu’s head, softly saying, “But I’m more afraid of losing you.”

“If you’re not here, the fruit of our love won’t be beautiful, but a nightmare instead.”

Yu Shu fell silent for a long while after hearing Yan Jin’s words.

Even though the mere thought of his and Xiaoxiao’s child made the corners of his mouth curl up involuntarily.

But he had to admit, Yan Jin’s words truly moved him.

Originally, Yu Shu wasn’t someone who particularly liked children. His initial disagreement with the abortion was only because he felt it was a pity to abort the fruit of his and Xiaoxiao’s love.

But hearing Yan Jin say she didn’t want to lose him, Yu Shu realized he had his priorities mixed up.

If he had to leave Xiaoxiao forever because of the child, he would rather not have this child.

Yu Shu was silent for quite a while. Yan Jin was starting to feel uneasy, thinking he was going to get angry, when Yu Shu leaned over and kissed her nose. “I’ll listen to you, let’s not have this child.”

Although it was Yan Jin who first suggested not having the child, after hearing Yu Shu’s words, she hesitated a bit. “Yu Shu, are you serious?”

“As serious as can be.” Yu Shu nuzzled Yan Jin’s nose. “Although it’s a bit of a pity, if the price is never seeing Xiaoxiao again, I’d rather abort the child.”

“I’m not opposed to having a child with Xiaoxiao, but I’m afraid of not being able to grow old with you.”

“It’s alright Xiaoxiao.” Yu Shu kissed Yan Jin again, as if comforting her, and also himself. “Our original plan didn’t include a child anyway, now we’re just setting things right.”

Although Yu Shu said this, Yan Jin could clearly see the reluctance deep in his eyes.

Even if Yu Shu didn’t say it out loud, he would definitely be very happy to have a child.

If they really had the fruit of their love, when the child was just born, Yu Shu would definitely be jealous of the child.

But if she ignored the child, Yu Shu would absolutely wipe away tears, “You don’t like the child, does that mean you don’t like me either?”

Yan Jin sighed, “Pregnancy will be very tiring, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it, Yu Shu.”

She still didn’t support Yu Shu having a child, but if Yu Shu wanted to… sigh.

As if sensing the shift in Yan Jin’s words, Yu Shu’s eyes lit up, even without him noticing. “Xiaoxiao, I’m not as delicate as you think. What others can do, I can do too.”

“When I think about how the child in my belly is ours, I feel full of energy.” Two dimples appeared by the corners of Yu Shu’s mouth as his smile gradually spread from them. “If Rousong is like you Xiaoxiao, then the child will definitely be very clever. Maybe even like you, not liking crowded places and needing coaxing to go.”

“It’s also possible the child will be like me, chattering nonstop. There won’t be any gossip in the streets that Rousong doesn’t know.”

…

Yan Jin watched Yu Shu talk animatedly, her gaze growing increasingly tender.

Forget it.

Yan Jin kissed Yu Shu, “Since Yu Shu likes it, then let’s have the child.”

Yu Shu’s eyes suddenly widened. After a while, he hugged Yan Jin in surprise and joy, kissing her over and over. “This is wonderful, we’ll have Rousong!”

Both Yan Jin and Yu Shu had mentally prepared themselves to become parents, but when the senior doctor returned and took Yu Shu’s pulse, he lightly said, “Your husband is not pregnant, it’s a false pregnancy.”
