Chapter 449: Chapter 417: Wanwan Is Pregnant (Part 1)

When Lin Xiaoyue fully recovered, it was almost the end of the year.

Wen Wan planned to use the delivery of New Year’s gifts as an excuse to accompany her to the Kangding Bo Mansion.

Before setting off, Wen Wan had a premonition: the icy roads would cause their carriage to collide with another.

And seated in that other carriage was Lady Kang Ding.

Besides her, there was a young girl.

The girl would bump her head from the crash.

Wen Wan herself would also be seriously injured.

…

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t know about her superpower, and Wen Wan didn’t plan to tell anyone except her husband.

After some thought, Wen Wan suggested, “It’s so cold outside, why don’t we walk instead?”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at her as if she were a monster, “The distance from our house to the Kangding Bo Mansion isn’t close, are you sure you want to walk there? And we still have to carry stuff, your suggestion is really unreliable.”

After speaking, she continued to pack the New Year’s gifts, afraid of missing anything and appearing insincere.

Wen Wan made up a lie, “Actually, I’ve been feeling a bit unwell these past few days, I always feel dizzy when riding in the carriage.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s hands slowed down as she suspiciously eyed her, “Unwell when you arrived as well?”

“Yes, a little.”

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t ask further, she directly ordered Jin Zhi, “Go and get the household doctor, let him give Mrs. Song a good check-up.”

Wen Wan was about to say it wasn’t necessary when she heard Lin Xiaoyue muttering, “The biggest thing in the world is one’s health; as women, we shouldn’t be careless when we feel unwell. Wasn’t it carelessness that caused the loss of my previous son? Clearly unwell, but no one could see it, and I didn’t pay attention, who would have thought he’d be gone like that, without even giving me time to react.”

At this, she sighed softly, “Maybe you were right, maybe he thought I was unfit, so he didn’t want me as a mother. I hope he can be reborn into a good family and find a fit mother.”

Her shoulder was suddenly patted.

Lin Xiaoyue looked up and saw it was Wen Wan, she forced a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ve long come to terms with it.”

“That’s best.” Wen Wan was more concerned about her possibly slipping into a depressive, irrational state at any moment the past few days.

Soon, Jin Zhi brought over the household doctor.

Lin Xiaoyue signaled with her eyes for Wen Wan to sit down.

Wen Wan hesitated, “I’m just a bit carsick, no need to check my pulse, is there?”

The last time Lu Yanli got seasick, the doctor didn’t prescribe anything, saying the child was too young to keep taking medication.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyue pregnant again, Wen Wan couldn’t help feeling envious, so she and Song Wei decided to try for a baby recently. Even if she really was ill, she couldn’t take any medication given the possible pregnancy.

“Why not?” Lin Xiaoyue asked bluntly and then thought of something, “Wen Wan, are you hiding something from me?”

“I’m not!”

In front of the doctor, Wen Wan was embarrassed to say she was trying to conceive, she only softly rebutted, “I’m really just a bit carsick.”

“Even carsickness should be checked.” Lin Xiaoyue didn’t give her a chance to escape, “If medicine is needed, take it, if rest is needed, rest. We can go to the Kangding Bo Mansion anytime, but I must take good care of you, otherwise, your husband will blame me.”

Wen Wan rolled her eyes at her, “You sure think a lot.”

“What else can I do?” Lin Xiaoyue insisted on her opinion, “When I was sick, you came every day, and as a result, you fell sick at our place. If he knew, do you think he’d still be nice to me?”

Unable to argue further, Wen Wan simply sat down, deciding that no matter what the doctor said later, she’d insist she just felt dizzy.

The household doctor placed a cloth over her wrist and began to take her pulse.

Lin Xiaoyue had no mind for anything else at the moment, she just waited by the side.

The household doctor examined for a while and asked Wen Wan, “Madam, have you been experiencing any symptoms recently?”

Wen Wan was feeling guilty; she was perfectly fine, eating well, no symptoms at all.

But to comply, she “weakly” looked at the household doctor, “I felt dizzy when I arrived, probably just some carsickness.”

The household doctor nodded knowingly.

Lin Xiaoyue, impatient by nature, seeing the doctor not giving a diagnosis for ages, frowned, “So what’s the situation? Speak up; you’re driving me crazy!”

The household doctor retracted his hand, slowly took back the cloth over Wen Wan’s wrist, and finally cupped his hands, “Congratulations Madam, you’re expecting.”

Lin Xiaoyue: “???”

Wen Wan: “!!!”

“Doctor, are you sure you didn’t misdiagnose?” Wen Wan was the first to react.

“It’s a happy pulse.” The household doctor said firmly, “It looks like it’s just full term, the pulse is very faint, but I’ve checked several times, it’s confirmed beyond doubt.”

Wen Wan had an indescribable expression on her face.

Back when she was pregnant with Jinbao, she was always vigilant, so as soon as her period was a few days late, she asked Doctor Li for a check-up.

This time, she was no less attentive to her own body. Just yesterday she noticed her period was a bit late, and after handling Sanyang’s affairs, she immediately called a doctor.

Considering the possibility of being pregnant, before coming she had dressed in layers, which startled Lin Xiaoyue when she entered the door.

Who would’ve thought, she was merely making up a lie, and it turned out she really was pregnant.

Lin Xiaoyue observed her inexplicable expression, “Hey, hey, hey, are you overjoyed to the point of foolishness, or are you unhappy about it?”

How could she not want something she had always hoped for?

Wen Wan shook her head, she just didn’t expect it.

“It seems you are quite deserving!” Lin Xiaoyue laughed, instructed Jin Zhi to see the household doctor out, then turned to Wen Wan, “I was just murmuring, asking my yet-to-be-born child to be reborn into a good family, and look, you got pregnant. It seems you’re more suited to be a mother than I am!”

Wen Wan was speechless, “How can you relate these two things?”

“Why can’t I?”

Lin Xiaoyue reached out and touched her lower abdomen, “I was initially regretful I couldn’t keep him, but now that he’s with you, I don’t have to think about it day and night. If I feel like it, I’ll ask you to come and sit with me. Being familiar from the womb, maybe when he grows up, he’ll even be willing to call me godmother.”

Well, before the word was even written, a godparent relationship was already established.

Wen Wan didn’t refuse, a godmother is a godmother. As long as it helps Lin Xiaoyue get over the pain of losing her child, she might as well believe that this child was indeed reincarnated from her family’s previous one.

Lin Xiaoyue turned around, wanting to pour Wen Wan a cup of tea, and saw the large and small gift boxes piled aside, “Hey, now that we found out you’re pregnant, what about the Kangding Bo Mansion, are we going or not?”

Wen Wan thought of her earlier premonition and suddenly smiled, “Let’s not go there, let’s hit the streets instead.”

“Shopping?” Lin Xiaoyue widened her eyes, “It’s freezing cold outside, you just got pregnant, are you sure it’s okay?”

“I feel stuffy indoors,” Wen Wan said, “I want to go outside and get some fresh air.”

Pregnant women take precedence.

At such a moment, whatever she says, Lin Xiaoyue would agree.

She had Jin Zhi put the gift boxes away, changed her clothes in the inner room, and came out with a warm, heavy cloak, handing it to Wen Wan, “This is for you.”

Wen Wan pointed to the light purple cloak hanging on the redwood coat rack, “I already brought mine.”

“Yours is too thin, wear mine.”

Lin Xiaoyue pulled her up, without giving her a chance to refuse, and draped the cloak over her.

Wen Wan said, “There’s a saying from my hometown that clothes worn by pregnant women shouldn’t be worn by others.”

Lin Xiaoyue understood and disregarded it with a scoff, “It’s just a sable fur cloak, yours now.”

Wen Wan found it amusing, “Are you concerned about me, or the baby in my belly?”

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback, “Is there a difference?”

“Of course there is,” Wen Wan said, “If you care about me, I’ll feel you’re good to me, if you care about the baby, you have ulterior motives.”

Lin Xiaoyue tied the silk ribbon at her collar as she muttered, “I’ve never had good intentions, I just said I wanted him to call me godmother someday.”

“What if it’s a little girl?” Wen Wan asked.

“It can’t be, right?” Lin Xiaoyue hesitated, “I was pregnant with a boy, if he’s reborn into your belly, he should be a boy too.”

Wen Wan didn’t want to shatter her thought, but if this child ends up being a girl, Lin Xiaoyue may suffer a major disappointment, so she had to prepare her mentally in advance, “If it’s a girl, then it’s not your son reincarnated, would you still want her to call you godmother?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue’s face immediately fell, “Are you deliberately trying to contradict me today?”

“I’m speaking the truth.”

“What about daughters? Look how well-behaved and lovable our Ah Nuan is, if it’s a daughter, I will acknowledge her.”

Glancing at Wen Wan’s relieved expression, Lin Xiaoyue scoffed lightly, “Look how nervous you got, I wouldn’t eat you, is it necessary?”

Wen Wan smiled without saying anything.

Once they were dressed properly, Lin Xiaoyue instructed Jin Zhi and the wet nurse to take care of Ah Nuan, and she left with Wen Wan.

The two did not take a carriage, instead walking ahead.

It was noticeably colder outside than indoors, and with the occasional gust of wind, Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her hands to keep warm and asked Wen Wan, “Where do you want to go?”

Wen Wan carefully recalled the street from her premonition and suddenly said, “I just got a craving, how about I treat you to hotpot?”

“No problem,” Lin Xiaoyue readily agreed.

Eating hotpot in such cold weather is truly a pleasure.
