Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Pregnant with a Child

The next day, after breakfast, Tian Niu set off with Gu Shuangshuang.

The second sister clamored that she wanted to go with them too.

So, the three of them went up the mountain with their little baskets on their backs.

Today was already the 26th of the lunar year, and it was a good time to pick nuts like pine nuts and hazelnuts in the mountains to make some snacks after returning home.

Since there could be wild animals in the mountains, Tian Niu didn’t take them too far in, just at the foot of the mountain where they began picking pine cones.

After autumn, people had already picked them when they had free time, so they didn’t find too many.

Tian Niu brought Gu Shuangshuang over for nothing more than to make her happy.

Seeing her brother and sister-in-law exchanging affectionate glances from time to time, the second sister knew she was in the way and quietly walked a bit further away.

Seeing that the second sister had distanced herself from them, Tian Niu sneaked up behind Gu Shuangshuang and hugged her slender waist.

"Wife, I haven’t been able to hold you properly for days. Now that there’s no one around, let me kiss you," he said, leaning in to kiss Gu Shuangshuang’s face.

"Stop it," Gu Shuangshuang pushed Tian Niu away, "didn’t you promise your strategist you wouldn’t touch me? What are you doing now?"

Ever since Tie Niu told Gu Shuangshuang about the promise to Qin Jian, she had not let Tian Niu touch her.

"You misunderstood our strategist’s intention. He asked me not to do that sort of thing to you, but he didn’t say I couldn’t kiss you."

Gu Shuangshuang’s expression darkened, "Do you mean to say that before anything happens between us, you have to report to strategist Qin and ask for permission?"

"That’s absolutely not what I mean. Shuangshuang, you have to understand that strategist Qin is actually looking out for your best interests."

Gu Shuangshuang snorted, not so much angry as she was annoyed of the situation; she felt uncomfortable that such matters were being turned into a "military order."

Seeing that Shuangshuang wasn’t swayed, Tian Niu thought about sneaking a kiss.

His lips had just touched Gu Shuangshuang’s cheek when they heard a coarse voice shout, "Tian Niu, you’re back, why didn’t you come to see me?"

Tian Niu was startled by the sudden voice and looked up to see a plump girl standing under a tree with a basket strapped to her back, waiting for them.

Tian Niu recognized the girl – she seemed familiar, like someone his family had introduced to him before, but he forgot her name.

"Who is this girl?" Gu Shuangshuang looked puzzled at the two of them, feeling that there was something playful in the girl’s gaze.

"I... I forgot!" Tian Niu said.

"I’m your former fiancée, have you forgotten?"

Hearing this, Gu Shuangshuang’s mood suddenly shifted, "What, you have a former fiancée?"

"No! No! Where would I get a fiancée? My only fiancée is you," Tian Niu quickly denied.

"Am I so ugly that you don’t fancy me?" the plump girl said somewhat sadly.

"No! I remember now, your name is Cuihua, right? Previously, our marriage was arranged by our parents without my consent – that doesn’t count. Didn’t I make this clear to you last time I came back?" Tian Niu finished, pushing Gu Shuangshuang forward, "See? This is my wife!"

The girl glanced at Gu Shuangshuang and aggrievedly said to Tian Niu, "So you like this type? Besides being prettier than me, what does she have that I don’t? Look at her skinny frame – such a woman won’t be good at bearing children. She looks like she’ll have trouble getting pregnant."

Gu Shuangshuang grew frustrated – without her saying a word, she’d been cursed with not being able to bear children.

Never one to show weakness in front of others, she retaliated, "Who says thin people can’t bear children? Are you implying only someone with a backside as big as a grinding plate like yours can bear children well?"

"You’re the kind who won’t get pregnant!" Cuihua insisted.

"Bah! For your information, Tian Niu and I have already registered our marriage, and I’m carrying his child right now! So shut your cursed mouth," Gu Shuangshuang retorted.
