Chapter 159

Yu Na also told her own parents that she was pregnant.

Her usually very calm dad finally showed a hint of change in expression after hearing the news that she was pregnant.

Yuna's mother said to Yu Na in the video: "Na Na, your father and I have discussed it and plan to go to Changwan to take care of you."

Yu Na: "No need, Mom. I'm just letting you and Dad know. I'm on vacation now, and aside from getting checkups done, I'm at home like normal."

Yuna's father's voice came from not far away. He was probably next to Yuna's mother. He asked: "Can Xiao Chen handle things himself? Should I get a few people for you guys?"

Yu Na: "No... no need! It's still early yet. Let's talk about it when the time comes."

The pregnancy news soon reached Grandpa and Grandma's side as well. For both families, the pregnancy was a joyous event, and they both wanted to come over to take care of Yu Na.

Yu Na was very obedient in front of her parents. She only acted spoiled and took liberties in front of Xiao Chen. She could be willful and take advantage of him as she pleased.

If the elders came to take care of her, she wouldn't be able to be so unruly.

So Xiao Chen turned down the parents and said that he could take good care of her himself.

...

Xiao Chen pushed aside all non-essential matters and wholeheartedly took care of Yu Na.

After summer vacation started, Yu Na didn't go anywhere else either, and comfortably stayed home.

Things were fine at first. Other than feeling drowsy and nauseous at times, there weren't any major reactions.

Yu Na was very clingy to him and liked being held by him.

So Xiao Chen bought a rocking sofa, and the couple often took naps together on the rocking sofa.

Yu Na liked to hear stories from his past, so she kept pestering him to tell them.

Xiao Chen told her about all of his highlights.

"When I was in middle school, there was a really bad kid who often bullied others, took money from lower grades, spread baseless rumors about girls, and even caused me trouble. I got angrier the more I thought about it, so angry I couldn't sleep. I knew he was afraid of snakes, so I bought a very realistic toy snake, grabbed it and went to find him. That kid thought it was real and was so scared he nearly fainted."

"I grabbed him by the collar and made him apologize to me. I was very strong and pushed him down so he knelt."

Yu Na laughed nonstop in his arms, her shoulders bobbing slightly. "How can you be so bad? But I love it so much." "Your husband gets revenge when wronged. If anyone dares to provoke me or you, I will definitely not let them off."

She nuzzled against him and traced circles on his chest with her fingertips, gently calling him through his thin, black short sleeve shirt, "Dear."

"Hm?"

"I'm sleepy. Can you coax me to sleep?"

"Okay."

Xiao Chen shifted to a more comfortable position for her to lie in his arms. It was an ordinary afternoon that day.

Sunshine streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The married couple snuggled together on the rocking sofa.

Xiao Chen quietly looked at her well-behaved sleeping face and couldn't help lowering his head to kiss her.

The first month, she was still relatively normal. Other than being sleepy, there weren't any major reactions.

Xiao's Mother sent Xiao Chen a checklist that clearly detailed how to take care of Yu Na.

Xiao Chen printed it out and carried it with him everywhere. But Yu Na said he was too nervous and that she didn't have any issues at all right now.

But in the second month, Yu Na's reactions suddenly became very intense.

In the first month she could still eat, but later, she increasingly lost her appetite and didn't want to eat anything.

Xiao Chen tried all sorts of ways to make food for her. Yu Na didn't want to disappoint him, so she forced herself to eat a little, but threw it all up after eating.

This went on for several days straight. Her face became thinner and her complexion was not great.

Once, Xiao Chen locked himself in the bedroom.

Yu Na thought he was angry because she wouldn't eat, so she went to the bedroom but found Xiao Chen sitting alone on the sofa, resting his elbows on his thighs, with red around his eyes.

Her heart clenched tightly. She sat next to him and hugged his arm, asking cluelessly, "Dear, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Chen reproached himself. "It's because I didn't take good care of you."

Yu Na grabbed a tissue and wiped away the tear stains for him. She also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and her eyes grew hot. "No, you've done very well. It's my problem..."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "I thought I could let you be carefree and stress-free throughout the pregnancy, but it's only the second month and I'm already...always making you uncomfortable."

"No, it's not your fault." Yu Na choked up. "I looked it up. Every expectant mother goes through this process."

Although Yu Na liked to tease him, she never lost her temper. Even though her emotions were very unstable recently, it didn't show.

Xiao Chen noticed and told her, "If you're unhappy, just take it out on me, okay?"

"I don't want to," Yu Na pouted. "You didn't do anything wrong to me."

Ever since getting pregnant, if Xiao Chen could be home he was home, playing with her, watching movies with her, going with her to the doctor's.

Even if he really had something come up that required going out, he would also bring her along and keep an eye on her at all times before he could feel at ease.

But even so, Xiao Chen still felt that he hadn't done a good job.

"Dear, should we have Mom come over? She knows more than me. The two of us can take care of you together, okay?"

"We don't need to yet." Yu Na rubbed her belly. "The baby is very well-behaved. Let me spend some more alone time with you."

"Alright."

Later, Xiao Chen hired a private nutritionist specifically to take care of Yu Na's diet.

The nutritionist would formulate a meal plan based on Yu Na's preferences.

Xiao Chen would coax her to eat like feeding a baby.

Yu Na didn't want Xiao Chen to worry, so although she had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat.

But she ate very little. During that time, she would feel nauseous from the slightest smell.

The couple was going through a test. Yu Na's mood fluctuated wildly. Sometimes she was normal, and sometimes very sad. But once when they went to the doctor for a checkup, they found out there were two babies in Yu Na's belly.

No wonder her reactions were so strong.

Such low odds, yet she encountered it. Yu Na's mood improved a lot.

Xiao Chen also didn't expect it, but currently he was more concerned about Yu Na's health and emotional state.

Carrying two babies would surely be more difficult than one.

Once, she suddenly said she wanted to eat something sour.

So Xiao Chen took her to the supermarket and bought her many preserved plums.

But after eating them, she felt they weren't sour enough and the sweetness was cloying.

Xiao Chen went online and shopped some more. The dazzling array of products made his eyes swim.

Before purchasing, he sent Xiao's Mother a WeChat message.

[Mom, Yu Na wants to eat sour stuff. What should I buy?]

Xiao's Mother replied very quickly: [Let Mom buy them. Don't worry about it.]

The second day after sending out the message, Xiao's Mother's express delivery arrived. Aside from the sour snacks Yu Na liked, there were also some other healthy snacks.

Yu Na opened a pack of preserved plums and put one in her mouth. Her previously dim expression suddenly brightened. "This is it! So delicious."

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Chen let out a deep breath in relief and excitedly sent another message to Mom—

[Mrs. Qiao! You're my savior!]

Xiao's Mother immediately replied: [Don't be disgusting. Yu Na's mood is fluctuating greatly right now. If she's unhappy and yells at or hits you, just bear with it.]

Yu Na next to him didn't know what mother and son were chatting about. She concentrated on opening another pack of candy herself.

There were all kinds of flavors.

Yu Na tore open a strawberry flavored one.

It was quite sour, just how she liked it, but as she ate it, it was no longer sour.

The candy became very sweet.

She couldn't take overly sweet things since getting pregnant.

Seeing her frown, Xiao Chen's heart tightened and he quickly and concernedly asked, "What's wrong? Not tasty?"

"I only wanted the sour part. The sugar's become sweet now..." Yu Na said aggrievedly. "Don't want to eat it anymore."

"Then don't eat it."

Xiao Chen brought her to sit on his lap and turned his head towards her, cupping her face and kissing her lips.

It was like Yu Na got some kind of signal. Her mouth opened slightly and Xiao Chen very smoothly rolled the candy from her mouth into his own.

Yu Na's mind blanked for a second and two patches of red flushed her cheeks.

She almost forgot there was this "game."

Xiao Chen still had the candy in his mouth. His gaze was extremely doting as he rubbed her hair, "There's still me, isn't there?"
