Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Asked a lot of questions that parents would ask for the first time_1
“Of course it’s true. I didn’t notice before, but I’m several days late now… I’m usually very regular.” Meng Yunhan felt a bit awkward explaining her menstrual cycle to a man; it wasn’t something she was accustomed to.
After the initial excitement, Yun Hao’s face fell.
He and his wife had been intimate for just over half a month, and now suddenly there was a baby on the way.
When he first found out his wife was pregnant, he was happy, thinking that now she had his child, she would stay with the Yun Family forever. But the next moment, he sobered up—now, he was going to have to be abstinent.
His wife was right there, within sight but out of reach.
But the thought of his wife carrying his child made him willing to care for her.
He was nearly thirty. He wanted to have children too.
“Hanhan, do you feel unwell?” As a man, he didn’t really know how to care for a pregnant woman. Now that he had to get her home, he was worried.
“I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.” Meng Yunhan felt that this man was being overly concerned about her and could sense the tension in her body.
“Are you really okay?” Yun Hao was still not at ease. His wife was usually fine with everything but tended to hide her grievances and wouldn’t talk about them.
“Of course I’m good, relax. It’s less than a month old. It’s probably the size of a grain of rice right now.”
The size of a grain of rice?
How did Hanhan know this?
“I read it in a book.” Meng Yunhan quickly added.
Yun Hao stared at Meng Yunhan’s belly with disbelief and yet felt deeply moved.
“Hanhan, why don’t you stay in the military camp until I can get leave during the New Year and take you home then?” Yun Hao wanted to take care of Meng Yunhan, afraid she would have to work if she went back.
He didn’t care about others, but he couldn’t let his pregnant wife work so hard.
“No way, I must go back before the school term starts.” Meng Yunhan wasn’t so whimsical to want to stay with Yun Hao. He took life-threatening risks when he was on a mission. If she stayed with him all the time, he would be distracted. Back in Qingzhao Village, her mother-in-law would take care of her. Even if her mother-in-law wasn’t happy with her, she would let her be for the sake of the child. She had always maintained good relations with her mother-in-law’s family in this life.
“Why?” Yun Hao was reluctant to have his wife leave.
“We don’t understand these things. If we go back, we’ll have the guidance of your experienced mother. I’ll be safer too.” Meng Yunhan wasn’t pretending. In many cases, newlywed couples can make some silly mistakes when they become parents for the first time. Having her experienced mother-in-law there would help her better protect the baby in her belly.
Yun Hao couldn’t refute her because everything she said was true.
“I’ll take you back when the time comes.”
“Let’s talk about it then.” Plans always fell short of changes.
Meng Yunhan, touching her belly, was indeed pregnant – but was this her deceased child from her past life?
If not, she had to conceive again at this time next year.
“Ahao, would you prefer a boy or a girl?” Meng Yunhan, leaning against Yun Hao’s chest, looked at his face, then pulled back her gaze to ask him a question that many first-time parents ask.
A boy or a girl?
“I like both.”
Meng Yunhan knew that in rural areas, people generally preferred boys over girls. If she gave birth to a daughter, wouldn’t her mother-in-law and others be upset?
Unless they have a son first. But whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl isn’t entirely up to her.
Yun Hao also noticed Meng Yunhan’s momentary gloom.
He also thought about it. The villagers always valued sons over daughters. If his wife gave birth to a daughter first, she would probably worry.
