The best thing in the world must be waking up and being taken great care of by the man you loved. It was also a wonderful thing to be kissed gently and indulged by him.
Shangguan Ning looped her hands through Jing Yichen’s neck and smiled happily. “It feels nice to be kissed by you. I am not even feeling sick any more.”
Jing Yichen chuckled. “Oh, so it seems that I am also a medicine. You must take more of me in the future!”
The couple laid in bed for another few moments before Ning got up in a good mood and went for breakfast with Jing Yichen to the dining room.
Luckily, Shangguan Ning didn’t feel uncomfortable at the breakfast table anymore. Maybe it was because all the dishes were her favorites. One of them turned out to be sour plum soup, which she drank up cheerfully and also finished many dishes.
Jing Yichen let out a sigh of relief.
After they finished breakfast, Jing Yichen changed and helped Shangguan Ning change as well before going downstairs with her hands in his.
Ever since Shangguan Ning got pregnant, Jing Yichen was making her wear shoes and even tied the laces for her most of the time, because he didn’t want her to bend down.
Shangguan Ning sat in the car and laughed seeing Jing Yichen driving towards the hospital. “I am fine now, we don’t need to go to the hospital. They will laugh at us for being so nervous about the smallest things and visiting the hospital so often.”
Actually, what she wanted to say was that she had married a husband with excellent qualities, one who treated her and her baby so beautifully. She was indeed a lucky woman!
She had always thought that she must have been the least lucky one, because nothing used to work out in her earlier life.
But the truth was that her luck had been waiting for her!
She massaged her belly and whispered inside her heart – baby, we are the luckiest mother and baby. You must come out safe and sound so we can take good care of your father and keep him company.
Seeing Shangguan Ning smiling, Jing Yichen chuckled, “What are you smiling about?”
Shangguan Ning tilted her head and said seriously, “I am talking to the baby.”
Jing Yichen burst into laughter. “Our son won’t understand anything you say yet. You started too early!”
Shangguan Ning blinked and said with a smile, “Not necessarily, we must communicate with him right from the start, so that he will be already smart when he is born.”
“Oh, that you don’t need to worry about. Our son will be a genius no matter what, given the fact that your husband is so intelligent.”
Shangguan Ning chuckled. “Jing Dabao, you are way too conceited. You will set a bad example for our son.”
Jing Yichen didn’t seem to like this name much. He said helplessly, “Wife, can’t we use a better name? Like, husband, or, Brother Jing…”
“Brother Jing” truly creeped Shangguan Ning out.
“I think that Jing Dabao sounds better. That was the name I wanted for my son. But if you disapprove of it, I would call him Jing Xiaobao!”
That name sounded way too weird!
Jing Yichen completely lost the hope of asking his wife to name their children. So he said instantly, “Why don’t you leave it to me? I will name our child. We don’t even know for sure if it is a daughter or a son. You better continue with your early teachings.”
What if his family name had been Wei? Then his son would have been Wei Xiaobao instead.
His wife was so talented that she could come up with such a “cultural name”!
Shangguan Ning didn’t want to give too much thought to the baby’s name till they didnt know for sure whether it was a boy or a girl. But she liked it when Jing Yichen was called Dabao, so Jing Yichen was driven crazy by her all the way through.
“Jing Dabao!”
“…..”
“Dabao, I am talking to you. Why are you not responding?”
“…..”
“Dabao, don’t you think that the name is lovely?”
“….” Why must he, a man, be thought of as being lovely?
“Dabao, I want to drink some more sour plum soup, can’t I get any more?”
“Baby, just stop calling me Dabao. Then you can drink as much as you want for lunch, please…”
…
When they reached the hospital, Shangguan Ning finally stopped. Jing Yichen pulled her into Mu Qing’s office, looking hassled.
Mu Qing looked up and saw that Jing Yichen looked agonized. It was so rare to see Master Jing wearing this expression.
But Shangguan Ning next to him had a really calm expression. She was smiling and looked totally different from how she had seemed the day before.
“Sister, you look nice. Come and sit down, let me feel your pulse.”
Mu Qing ignored the man beside her and greeted Shangguan Ning in a friendly manner. He realised instinctively that he better not converse with Jing Yichen at the moment.
Shangguan Ning sat next to Mu Qing, rolled up her sleeve and said, “Sorry to trouble you again, Doctor Mu!”
Mu Qing placed the fingers upon Shangguan Ning’s wrist whilst saying, “Haha, Sister, don’t say that. We are a family. This is no trouble. I am very happy to feel the pulse of a pretty… oh sister!”
“Pretty lady” had been his catch phrase, which he used for even older women, who were in their 40s. After all, every girl liked to be called pretty. Hence it slipped out of his mouth for Shangguan Ning, who was actually pretty.
But Jing Yichen’s look creeped Mu Qing out. He had to change the words instantly.
A moment later, Mu Qing removed his fingers and said with determination, “Sister, you and the nephew are both doing well. I will prescribe you some natural Vitamin C, one pill a day will be enough. It is totally safe, no side effects.”
Shangguan Ning nodded and said, “Okay.”
She knew that women tended to need more vitamins at this stage. Anyways, Mu Qing knew more than she did about this. She would follow whatever he tells her.
“Also.” Mu Qing said, “Do you remember the medicinal wine my grandpa gave you. Drink it every day. It is good for the baby’s growth and for him to develop a strong immune system.”
The best thing in the world must be waking up and being taken great care of by the man you loved. It was also a wonderful thing to be kissed gently and indulged by him.
Shangguan Ning looped her hands through Jing Yichen’s neck and smiled happily. “It feels nice to be kissed by you. I am not even feeling sick any more.”
