Chapter 168: Chapter 142: It Isn’t Impossible to Want a Child

Fu Yisi’s generosity was something Ji Sang couldn’t quite grasp, but one thing was certain: when this man made a promise, he would keep it.

And so, the next day, he personally took her to the Fu family’s ancestral home before heading off to work.

Ye Lin came out to greet them in person.

This was the first time Ji Sang was planning to stay for an extended period at the Fu family’s old mansion since marrying into the family.

“Mom, make sure she eats well for me.”

Ye Lin rolled her eyes slightly.

“I know, I’ve been looking forward to Ah Shang coming over.”

Saying so, Ye Lin affectionately patted Ji Sang’s hand.

“Ah Shang, I’ve been so bored at home by myself; knowing you would be coming to stay for a while, I was so excited last night I couldn’t sleep. Don’t worry, as your mother-in-law, I’ll definitely take you out to have some fun.”

Apart from Yang Jun, Ye Lin was the only person from whom Ji Sang felt the warmth of selfless maternal love. Moving back to live with them, Ji Sang felt no resistance whatsoever.

That is, apart from the medicinal meals Fu Yisi had mentioned.

With just one glance, the man could tell what Ji Sang was thinking.

Before leaving, he affectionately patted Ji Sang’s head and reassured,

“Relax, the medicinal meals will be arranged only after your full body checkup.”

After all, even medicines can be harmful in certain doses; he needed to know Ji Sang’s current health condition to get the dosage right.

“I’ll accompany you for the checkup after I get through these next two days, don’t be scared, okay?”

A full body checkup was not like a simple one or two tests—it required physical and mental stamina. Having someone there for support was best.

Fu Yisi wanted a thorough understanding of Ji Sang’s health and did not want to miss this checkup.

In other words, these few busy days for Fu Yisi would be Ji Sang’s last stretch of relative freedom.

Realizing this, Ji Sang mustered a forced smile and pulled Fu Yisi’s hand down.

“There’s no rush; don’t overbook your work schedule, take it slowly.”

At her words, Fu Yisi raised an eyebrow and a quiet laugh escaped him.

Ye Lin, standing aside, didn’t quite grasp the meaning of their conversation, but she knew that two days ago, Fu Yisi had specially called and mentioned that he might need her to prepare medicinal meals for Ji Sang.

Ever since Yang Jun’s passing, Ji Sang had been in poor spirits, and Ye Lin was worried, yet fearful that her concern might stir Ji Sang’s underlying sorrow. She had been at a loss about what to do.

Now that Ji Sang had finally moved in, she didn’t think preparing medicinal meals was a troublesome task at all.

“It’s just medicinal meals; I have plenty of time every day. You should be busy with your work; don’t delay Ah Shang’s health checkup.”

Ji Sang: …

Fu Yisi pressed his lips together, fighting back a smile, and responded.

“Mhm.”

Ji Sang: …

“Alright, Ah Shang is staying here with me; what’s there to worry about? Dilly-dallying like this, you’ll be late if you don’t go now.”

Ever since Ah Shang returned to the country, her son was definitely not as impassive and cold as before. But why had he become so dawdling like his father?

Could something possibly go wrong with his wife while she’s under her mother-in-law’s care?

Facing the subtle rebuke from his mother, Fu Yisi could only smile.

“I won’t come back for dinner tonight.”

The two days he had spent in Hong County were taken off on short notice; all of his surgery schedules were packed into these two days.

“Not coming back?”

Ye Lin furrowed her brows slightly.

The travel time between the Fu family’s old mansion and City First Hospital was around half an hour, and during rush hour, it would definitely take an hour.

“Mhm.”

Fu Yisi checked the time on his watch.

“I have to leave now.”

Fu Yisi first gently embraced Ye Lin, then went to Ji Sang and gently ruffled her hair.

“Be a good girl, okay? Don’t eat what you shouldn’t.”

After speaking, he placed a gentle kiss on Ji Sang’s forehead.

Once the man drove away, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing in the courtyard were still in a daze.

Ye Lin was completely stunned by Fu Yisi’s embrace.

Over the years, when had she ever experienced such affection from this brat Fu Yisi? Even during Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner, he had offered only a more tender greeting.

And now… to receive a hug before going to work?

Ye Lin stared absently at Ji Sang next to her, knowing that this change in Fu Yisi was because of her.

Meanwhile, Ji Sang stood frozen in place, thinking about the last thing Fu Yisi had said.

She had originally wanted to indulge herself a bit before the comprehensive health check-up, taking advantage of the days when Fu Yisi was busy.

Who would have thought this stinky man actually knew what she was thinking.

“Ah Shang”

Ye Lin suddenly tugged on Ji Sang’s clothes.

“When you’re at home, does Fu Yisi always act like this?”

Ji Sang snapped back to reality and nodded.

At home, Fu Yisi would even more indulgent.

To this day, Ji Sang still remembered when their feelings began to clash, that reserved man called her ‘wife’ all morning.

It was to make her remember that she was his wife, his Mrs. Fu.

“Is that so”

Ye Lin nodded as if she understood.

She suddenly wondered if Fu Yisi had other intentions for wanting her to prepare the medicinal diet?

The young couple is doing well now, and Ah Shang is also planning to stay at home, rest, and take care of her health.

It’s not impossible to have a child.

Ye Lin’s eyes widened slightly as she thought more and more that it must be Fu Yisi’s idea.

The only thing she didn’t know was what Ji Sang thought about it.

But no matter, at least her health is well taken care of now, having a child shouldn’t be difficult?

Thinking that she might be able to hold a grandchild in a year or two, Ye Lin started to get uncontrollably excited.

Later on that day, Ji Sang kept noticing Ye Lin’s affectionate gaze landing on her belly from time to time.

Ji Sang: ???????

At first, Ji Sang thought Ye Lin was worried about her stomach.

After all, everyone in the family knew she had a weak stomach.

During lunch, after Ji Sang finished her second bowl of soup, she couldn’t help but speak up.

“Mom”

“Eh! What is it?”

“Actually…my stomach hasn’t been much of an issue lately, Fu Yisi has always been taking care of it at home.”

Ye Lin blinked.

“I know that.”

Many recipes were specially requested by Fu Yisi over the phone.

“Then…cough cough”

Ji Sang cleared her throat.

“Mom, why have you been… staring at my belly all day?”

After speaking, Ji Sang looked down at her own belly.

Has she gained weight recently?

Thinking this, Ji Sang put down her chopsticks and measured her waist with her hands.

It doesn’t seem like she’s gotten fatter, right?

Ji Sang looked up and directly met Ye Lin’s especially affectionate and gentle gaze.

“…Mom?”

Ji Sang called out hesitantly.

Ye Lin replied with a smiley face,

“It’s okay, I’m just looking.”

Ji Sang: ….

What’s so interesting about her belly?

…

At ten o’clock in the evening, Fu Yisi finally returned from the hospital. Ji Sang, sitting on the bed waiting for him to finish bathing, recounted the whole thing from start to finish.

“Don’t you find it weird? Why would mom stare at my belly for no reason?”

The man paused in the act of drying his hair, lowered his gaze towards Ji Sang’s belly,

“You haven’t gotten fatter.”

Ji Sang: ???????

She stopped the motion of wanting to help the man dry his hair.

“Of course, I know I haven’t gotten fatter.”

Her body type naturally doesn’t put on weight easily; she had been in Hong County recently, and it’s not as if she could have eaten well, how could she have gotten fat?
