Chapter 446: Chapter 430: Not Seeing Wrong?

Lu Yun’s entire pregnancy was very smooth, and even the morning sickness she experienced was extremely mild. When the time came to give birth a few months later, everything went off without a hitch.

"How many girls?"

The moment she had given birth, this was Lu Yun’s primary concern. She immediately grabbed Shitou, who had been with her in the delivery room the whole time, and asked.

Shitou glanced at the three identical-looking--baby boys being held by the nurse and, looking down to soothe her, he said, "Whether it’s a boy or a girl, aren’t they all our children? You’ve just given birth, so you’d better close your eyes and rest a while, don’t worry about this issue."

It would’ve been so simple to just tell her plainly. What did he mean by telling her not to worry about this issue?

Lu Yun got angry, slapping Shitou’s hand away with one of her own, "Tell me quickly."

"They’re all boys." Seeing that Lu Yun was truly angry, Shitou didn’t dare delay any longer and quickly told her the truth.

"All boys--" Lu Yun was stunned. What about the delicate, charming princess who would act spoiled and help her with her makeup as they had agreed?

Incredulous, she asked again, "Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?"

"Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?" At that moment, far away in S City, Xia Na was also widening her eyes, looking at her daughter-in-law Jiang Xiuwan with disbelief, repeating the question.

"Mom, it’s true. I saw everything clearly, and not only me, but Gu Meng also saw elder brother accompanying that girl to the prenatal checkup, the two of them looking very intimate. The kind of smile on the girl’s face, more than eighty percent of people would think she’s pregnant. I couldn’t have seen it wrong.".

Jiang Xiuwan rubbed her own swollen belly; she was due to give birth in another two months. After getting married, she had been continuously thankful for encountering an understanding in-law family.

Even before the wedding, the mother-in-law had been quite good to her too. But just like how one can only tell whether a man is truly good after getting married, whether the mother-in-law is genuinely kind or faking it is also something that needs to be verified over time after the wedding.

After the marriage, even though they lived under the same roof, the mother-in-law treated her with great respect. Normally, she would never step foot into the separate part of the house that belonged to her and Gu Meng, let alone deliberately probe into their privacy.

If there was ever a need to enter their "territory", she would always inform her in advance, and there had never been an incident like what she had heard before the marriage, such as the mother-in-law running into the couple’s room in the middle of the night to cover her son with a blanket.

It’s said that one should not impose on others what one does not desire. This saying might be easy to say, but actually enacting it is not simple at all; however, her mother-in-law managed to do it.

Living together, even though the couple’s relationship was good during their courtship, friction due to different living habits meant that she and Gu Meng still inevitably had bouts of quarrels and anger.

During their courtship, it was always Gu Meng who would appease her. After marriage, she naturally found it hard to change this habit. Whenever there were bumps in the road, she would typically throw her little temper tantrum, and the two of them would argue a bit and then make up quickly, changing moods just like a child’s face in March.

No matter how rowdy they got, the father-in-law and mother-in-law would turn a deaf ear. If ever the two of them had a particularly severe argument, she would take Gu Meng aside and scold him in private, telling him to be more accommodating and reminding him that it’s normal for her to feel out of place at first and that she needed time to adjust.

All of this Gu Meng would secretly tell her. How could Jiang Xiuwan not be moved when she heard this?

Especially since she and Gu Meng got married, there had been no news of a baby in her belly. She wasn’t worried during the first or second year, but by the third, she started to feel anxious. It just so happened that both she and Gu Meng had gone to the hospital for check-ups, and the conclusion was that neither of them had any issues.

If there were no problems and no so-called pressure, how could it be possible that there was still no baby? After all, many people, even if they don’t conceive a honeymoon baby, tend to have one after a year or two of marriage.

Not only was she anxious at that time, but even her mother from her natal family became worried. Her mother found her several experts who specialized in treating infertility, both in traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and also brought her many folk and secret remedies.

But her mother-in-law stopped her from randomly taking those so-called folk and secret remedies, telling her they were unreliable. She consoled her not to be hasty, warning against seeking desperate measures out of urgency that might actually ruin her health.

For that reason, she made a special trip to Xiangjiang to have a face-to-face discussion with her mother. She also tirelessly accompanied her to see doctors, seeking advice from top specialists in the field.

Even when some relatives on her father-in-law’s side who were slightly confused about the situation made snide remarks about her not being pregnant yet, her mother-in-law unhesitatingly came to her defense. Gradually, she truly began to feel even closer to her mother-in-law as if she were another mother.

Finally, after consulting with several experts, they unintentionally discovered the reason she hadn’t been able to conceive. The problem turned out to be the apple celery juice that she and Gu Meng had been drinking all along.

She didn’t know that celery could affect sperm; she had always treated it as a healthy diet drink, and influenced by her, Gu Feng naturally drank it as well. Sadly, this directly led to their inability to conceive despite being physically healthy throughout the years of their marriage.

Once the reason was identified and after some regulation, the moment she became pregnant was a moment of immense relief for having such a wonderful mother-in-law.

"This kid, he’s refused to date again for so many years, leaving me all anxious and flustered. Every time I think about how it’s my fault, I’m filled with regret. But to think that he would pull a stunt like this, getting a girl pregnant and still keeping it from the family."

After the initial surge of joy, Xia Na was overtaken by a wave of frustration, standing up furiously, "No, I must call him back and ask for an explanation."

"Mom, please don’t be in such a hurry."

Jiang Xiuwan was startled by Xia Na’s demeanor and quickly held her back, worried that if she really went to confront Gu Feng like this, it would only make matters worse between mother and son, making her the "culprit."

"Calm down first. You can’t just rush to big brother like that in a fit of anger. If big brother takes it the wrong way and becomes stubborn, would you really stand by and wait for your daughter-in-law to have the baby outside without knowing when they will bring it home?"

"Uh."

Xia Na hesitated, realizing that, given her eldest son’s temper over the past few years, it was indeed possible for things to turn out that way. She sank down despondently, her eyes reddening and tears falling, "Gu Feng was such a well-behaved and understanding child when he was little, even more considerate than Gu Meng. How did he grow up to change so completely for a vain woman..."

"..."

For a moment, Jiang Xiuwan didn’t know how to console her mother-in-law. She had met Gu Feng’s former girlfriend a few times in the past. To tell the truth, it wasn’t just the mother-in-law who disliked her; she and Gu Meng weren’t fond of her either. The girl was too scheming, but what can you say about someone in love?

Back then, Gu Feng was clearly completely infatuated, utterly devoid of any reason.
