Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Chapter 663: Suspicion (1)
Chu Lian seemed rather confused. She couldnât understand what Senior Servant Zhong meant by her words.
She turned towards Senior Servant Zhong with a dazed expression. Since they were getting along well now, why did they have to sleep separately?
Senior Servant Zhong coughed and tried to explain patiently, âThird Young Madam, since youâre pregnant now, you have to take care of your body. You and Third Young Master are both young, so it might be hard to... control yourselves at night. If your activities were to harm the child, then it wouldnât be good, wouldnât it?â
Senior Servant Zhong had already phrased it as directly as she could. If Chu Lian couldnât understand it even now, then she would be an idiot.
Chu Lianâs face immediately flushed red. That... she had never thought of the problem of sleeping arrangements after getting pregnant.
While Chu Lian wasnât very willing to sleep separately, she had come from the modern world and she didnât know what the customs were here. She didnât know what He Changdiâs opinion was either.
Thus, she decided not to blindly make a decision now.
Chu Lian acted as if she was too shy to speak and refused to reply.
Senior Servant Zhong got a little antsy upon seeing that she wasnât replying, âThird Young Madam, please listen to this old servant. The first three months of pregnancy are crucial, and itâs easy for accidents to happen at this stage. Furthermore, all noble families follow this rule.â
The old servant was about to try persuading her further, when a low and menacing manâs voice sounded behind her, âNo need. Just bring in a chaise for me next to the bed.â
Hearing that it was He Changdi behind her, Senior Servant Zhong turned around in stunned surprise. Chu Lian looked up, clearly pleasantly surprised to see him.
The joy shining in Chu Lianâs sparkling eyes couldnât be hidden at all, they shone like two bright stars.
Facing her elated expression, He Changdi knew that his decision had earned his wifeâs favour.
Senior Servant Zhong gaped a little before replying reluctantly, âWouldnât that be too hard on Third Young Master?â
âThereâs no need to say anymore. Iâve already decided.â He Changdiâs tone was resolute, leaving no room for anyone to change his mind.
Senior Servant Zhong shut her mouth and sighed inwardly. She was also happy for Third Young Madam, Third Young Master seemed to care for Third Young Madam more than she thought.
âUnderstood, this old servant will make the arrangements now.â
He Changdi waved his hand, âIf thereâs nothing else, youâre dismissed.â
Senior Servant Zhong bobbed in respect and was about to leave when He Changdi called out to her, âMomo, keep the servants under control. Donât let the news of Lianâerâs pregnancy out for the time being.â
Senior Servant Zhong seemed to hesitate, âThen the old residence...â
Ever since they had moved out from the Jingâan Estate, for He Changdi and Chu Lian, the Jingâan Estate had become the old residence.
He Changdi paused before shaking his head slightly, âKeep it a secret from the old residence too. Weâll wait until Lianâer hits two months and her pregnancy is stable, then Iâll take Lianâer personally to the old residence to announce the good news.â
Senior Servant Zhong was thinking of persuading him otherwise, but when she thought back to Great Doctor Miaoâs diagnosis, she swallowed her words back down. Great Doctor Miao had said that they had almost lost the child in Chu Lianâs belly. If anything happened, and they told the old residence too early, wouldnât it just turn out to be false hope? The senior family members in the old residence might even blame Third Young Master and Madam for it.
Waiting until the pregnancy was stable before announcing it would be the best course of action.
Senior Servant nodded upon understanding the circumstances. She bobbed once again towards Chu Lian and He Changdi, before quietly retreating out of the room to manage the other maidservants.
Once Senior Servant Zhong left, He Changdi strode over to Chu Lianâs side.
He reached out with his powerful arms and slid them under her knees and back. He lifted her from the chaise in a princess carry, then settled onto the chaise with her on top.
He Changdi placed one hand on Chu Lianâs shoulders, while the other was placed gently on her belly.
His tone was filled with a soft warmth.
âLianâer, weâre going to have a child.â
Chu Lian was equally happy. She had been waiting for this little beanâs arrival for a few months!
âHubby, would you like a boy or a girl?â
Chu Lian raised her head to stare into He Changdiâs soft gaze.
He Changdi bent his body over slightly to place a kiss on her smooth forehead, âA daughter. It would be best if she looks like you, sheâll definitely be very cute.â
Chu Lian puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, âYouâre just saying that to make me happy, right? Eldest Brother only has Little An and Little Lin, and Second Brother hasnât gotten married yet. Itâs not just Grandmother, but even Father and Mother are probably waiting for me to give birth to a boy!â
He Changdi stiffened up, he hadnât expected Chu Lian to respond this way.
He thought back to what Great Doctor Miao had told him in private. The doctor had mentioned that pregnant women were more susceptible to changes in mood as well as emotions, and that he had to be more understanding and forgiving of his wife.
His brows relaxed and he stroked Chu Lianâs silky hair with one hand.
Actually, He Changdi had truly been speaking his mind. He did want a daughter for his first child.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When he thought of having a mini Chu Lian running around, his heart immediately melted into a puddle of mush.
âWhether itâs a boy or a girl, theyâll be our child, Iâll treat them the same.â
If the future little bun were to find out what his father had said today, he would definitely burst into tears and question his father.
A satisfied smile surfaced on Chu Lianâs face after getting He Changdiâs answer.
She was a modern person at heart and she didnât favour any gender in particular. No matter which gender their child belonged to, she would still guide and protect them the same.
Furthermore, it wasnât up to her whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl. If it didnât turn out to be a boy, then it was He Changdiâs problem.
