Chapter 355: [353] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 205 (1 update)

Being pregnant meant there were many things she couldn’t do, especially since she was not even three months along, so she was treated like a precious panda and kept inside the house.

"How could that work? Boiling inside for seven or eight months would suffocate her, wouldn’t it?"

Being confined inside with nothing to do, she decided to move to the Nameless Island. It had been several years since her last visit, and she genuinely missed it.

Initially, Yan Qing opposed the idea because living on the island was inconvenient, and it was certainly no place for prenatal care but rather a form of suffering.

But Xiao Yu had her reasons, "You see, you’re busy all the time and can’t take care of me. I’ll take Yaya with me; what’s wrong with that? Pregnant women can do things; I wouldn’t be incapacitated. I know my own body well. Nameless Island is comfortable, and I plan to retire there later. Staying there for prenatal care isn’t an issue. You can manage the business and ships here, and if you miss me, you can come to visit anytime, right?"

Yan Qing silently grimaced, thinking how easy she made it sound. Why hadn’t he seen this stubborn side of her before?

Her temperament had grown even more since getting pregnant, and she started to challenge him directly.

At 23 years old, having returned from Beijing three years ago, her age might be considered young to have children by modern standards, but in this era, she was considered quite old.

Luckily, Yan Qing was kind and didn’t think of her as old or betray her by seeking other women, although such thoughts were selfish in ancient times. Being a noble like Yan Qing was almost unparalleled. As someone from modern times, she could never accept a man embracing multiple women. She would rather live alone than tolerate that.

The couple had been inseparably in love for two or three years. Over these years, his doubts about her persisted, but she remained silent, and he never broached the topic. Thus, they shared three years of unspoken secrets and vulnerability.

Xiao Yu saw all the kindness Yan Qing showed her, but now that she was pregnant, she also wanted to experience single life for a while. Appropriate separation could also test him.

Her determination left Yan Qing helpless and he eventually compromised. He had initially wanted to send two female dark guards with her, but she refused.

So, in the end, she was accompanied by Yaya and Xiao Ya, the latter being Yan Qing’s concession because Xiao Ya knew some medical skills. If something were to happen, she could handle it in time. Although he knew his wife was not simple and seemed to have medical knowledge too, he couldn’t take the risk, so he opted for the more prudent Aya.

Yan Qing personally escorted Xiao Yu to the Nameless Island. The boat was loaded with many daily necessities. He had stayed there before, so he knew what was lacking and had prepared everything, including pots, bowls, ladles, everyday items, and even a bed, as well as various tools and farming implements.

It took about ten days to travel from Qingyang Prefecture to the Nameless Island, primarily because they were uncertain of the direction. They had to find her fishing village first and then search the surrounding area, so most of the time was spent finding their way. This time, they also brought a few old fishermen to guide them, making any future trips less cumbersome.

From leaving at seventeen to returning at twenty-three, Xiao Yu had been away for six whole years, an unbelievable amount of time.

Compared to six years ago, it seemed unchanged, still as vast and beautiful.

Now, in the full bloom of spring, how wonderful would it be if she could live here forever?
