527: Chapter 354 Pregnancy is normal_2 527: Chapter 354 Pregnancy is normal_2 But Lu Yinchu was different.
Everything he was doing recently was in a fervent desperation for her to conceive a child.
His mother, Xia Zhen, was even making her tonic soups occasionally!
His anticipation for the child was much stronger than hers, many, many times over!
â¦
After breakfast, Xia Zhen took the opportunity when Nanxi was absent to pull her son aside and ask about the pregnancy test from the day before.
It wasnât unreasonable for Xia Zhen to be anxious.
In her heart, she sincerely hoped that Nanxi could get pregnant soon.
Although Nanxi was only 22 years old, hadnât she herself given birth to Lu Yinchu at the same age?
Moreover, although Nanxi was young and inexperienced, at least she had her mother-in-law by her side to look after her.
Once the child was born, Xia Zhen would be relieved and willing to help care for her grandchild.
Nanxi could then continue her carefree life for a few more years!
Living in their social circle, they occasionally met wives of the same age.
Many women her age had been grandmothers for several years already!
And considering her son was already 32, not exactly young, they must hurry up with the childâs matter!
Once, Xia Zhen wondered if her sonâs personal life was truly as clean as Mo Yan had claimed, with not even half a woman in it?
Either there was a physical problem, or psychological issues, or he was just hiding it too well and she hadnât discovered it.
But in her thoughts, she didnât want to think ill of her son.
She would just wait, wait in anticipation that perhaps one day Han Qing would appear.
She didnât dislike her, she felt that this girl was suitable for her son in many ways; from her age to her disposition.
After trying to get to know Han Qing a few times, she could not find anything wrong with her behavior or manners.
She was quite satisfied!
But her son was always evasive.
She wasnât the type of elder who liked to dictate and meddle, so she kept the relationship in this awkward state.
But, in the end, they never got together because her son brought home Nanxi!
With Nanxi in the picture, Xia Zhen finally felt some peace of mind.
It showed her sonâs mental and physical health were both fine!
Her son had waited 32 years to find a girl he liked.
Although she was a bit young, they seemed to harmonize well in every aspect.
Nanxi was also considerate and obedient, Xia Zhen didnât worry about her; she knew her son best as his mother!
But now, what concerned her most was Nanxiâs belly!
If Nanxi were to have a child now, he would be twenty by the time her son is in his fifties.
That wouldnât make him too old.
But if they were to delay for a few more years, her son would be nearing sixty when the child turns twenty.
This was something utterly unthinkable!
There were certain things that, as a mother-in-law, she was not comfortable discussing directly with Nanxi.
However, she expected her son to steer things in the right direction, as they were husband and wife.
With mutual understanding and empathy, she believed her son would handle things well.
Lu Yinchu looked a bit troubled.
âSorry, Mother, I was unable to have her take the pregnancy test.
But thereâs no need to rush.
If sheâs pregnant, sheâs pregnant, even if she doesnât test.
And if sheâs not pregnant, a test would only shatter the hopes I kept, even if sheâs not pregnant.
But donât worry, Mother, if there are any signs, Iâll be the first one to let you know!â
Xia Zhen frowned, âYou just need to keep this matter at heart and not forget!
Moreover, Nanxi seemed to have lost her appetite this morning.
At noon, Iâll have Uncle Zhang deliver something appetizing.
You can ask her on the way what sheâd like, then buy it or I can cook it myselfâ¦
Her health is the most important thing given her young age!â
Lu Yinchu nodded, âI understand, Mother!â
â¦
On the ride to work, Nanxi was still distracted.
Lu Yinchu casually drove the car while stealing glances at her from time to time!
Nanxi, feeling uneasy about being watched, shrank back and asked, âWhy are you staring at me?
Do I have something on my face?â
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips, extended his hand to grasp hers and squeezed it, âListen, donât stress.
Whether or not a child comes is up to fate.
If itâs meant to be, he or she will come sooner or later.
If not, then it simply means the bond with our child has not yet matured!
Besidesâ¦.â
He turned his head and looked at her, ââ¦.Even if we donât have a child now, itâs due to my lack of âeffortâ, and has nothing to do with you!â
Nanxi was stunned; her small face turned red as she stared at him incredulously, âYouâ¦how did you know?â
âThe order I usually place clothes is pants below and outerwear above, but you reversed it!â
ââ¦Oh!â Exhaling a breath, Nanxi was in disbelief.
Lu Yinchu was so meticulous; he even had rules for how he put away his clothes.
She usually just threw her clothes around randomly!
âSo, Lu Yinchu, youâ¦you bought that for me to use?â She asked cautiously.
Lu Yinchu glanced at her, âThat was bought by mother.
She gave it to me to give to you.
Her intention was just to have a try, just to assuage our innermost anticipations but we arenât pressuring youâ¦â
âI understandâ¦.â
Nanxi knew, Xia Zhen loved and cherished her like her own daughter.
At the same time, she hoped that she could give birth to a grandchild for the Lu family sooner.
Having received no news for so long, she was understandably anxious, thatâs why she acted this way!
âBut, Lu Yinchu, even though you said you wouldnât put pressure on me, your hope and anticipation have already put pressure on meâ¦
But I donât say this to blame you, nor am I blaming mother!
Justâ¦
canât we take things one step at a time?
It feels like things are progressing too fastâ¦
Have you thought about it, Lu Yinchu?
From when we first met in April to now, it is not yet four monthsâ¦
In four months, weâve gone from dating to marriage, and now possibly a childâ¦
Good heavens, even just thinking about it feels incredible!â
And when she initially decided to marry Lu Yinchu, it was because she didnât want to miss out on a man like him, and of course there was her impetuosity.
Then, they just simply married, and she remembers they didnât have a formal relationship for even a full day at that time!
Thinking about it now, everything felt like a dream.
It was simply unbelievable!
PS: Liao Feifei is not a random character created to pad the word count.
She was part of the initial outline I wrote.
Her character was named after an author friend of mine, âFeifei Qingtingâ, and she will play an important role in the later chapters.
I will not deviate from the original story or write randomly.
Readers, please rest assured.
I am hoping for monthly ticket support on the last day of the standings ~
