Chapter 573 Giving Up the Second Child
Chapter 573 Giving Up the Second Child
After taking the medicine and taking a nap, Gu Jingxi's high fever subsided and he felt refreshed.
When Meng Jinyao brought in the medicine again and said she wanted to feed him the medicine, he resisted in every possible way: "Ayao, I'm fine now, and I'm not feeling unwell. Can I skip the medicine?"
Meng Jinyao ignored his resistance, scooped a spoonful of the dark medicine and put it to his mouth, saying softly: "My dear husband, be obedient, drink it once more to consolidate the effect, and you don't need to drink it tomorrow." She paused and looked at him with a smile, "Open your mouth, don't force me to find someone to hold you down and force the medicine in."
Gu Jingxi had no choice but to open his mouth and accept the feeding. He drank the whole bowl of medicine without leaving a drop, and then said, "Ayao, I was wrong."
Meng Jinyao put down the medicine bowl and asked, "Well, then?"
"Ayao, don't be angry." Gu Jingxi said, and pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
Meng Jinyao replied: "I was angry at first, but now that I see you are sick, I can't be angry anymore. Don't you understand how I feel about you? I will never get tired of you in my life, so don't let your imagination run wild in the future."
Gu Jingxi hugged her and said "hmm" softly.
Meng Jinyao noticed that he was listless, and looked up at him: "Are you still feeling wronged?"
"You've been taught a lesson, so you've behaved yourself?" Gu Jingxi felt even more wronged. "Do you want to give me a kiss and feel how bitter it is?"
Hearing this, Meng Jinyao couldn't help laughing out loud: "You deserve it. Who told you to mess around? It's snowing outside and you're still dressed like this. If you appeared in front of me dressed like this in the summer, your plan would definitely succeed."
After listening to this, Gu Jingxi thought for a while, and soon came up with an idea, with a smile on his face.
Meng Jinyao suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "My husband, Xuanling brought her daughter back to visit my second brother and his wife a few days ago. The little girl is very pretty and loves to laugh. She is very lovable. How about we give Wanwan a sister?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Jingxi's smile froze and he subconsciously shook his head. Pregnancy and childbirth were too hard. A Yao was anxious during her pregnancy, had difficulty during childbirth, and was anxious again after giving birth. It would be better not to go through this kind of pain again.
Meng Jinyao hesitated and asked, "Doesn't my husband like his daughter?"
"Don't think too much. As long as it's our child, I like both sons and daughters." Gu Jingxi said, sighing helplessly, "You really have forgotten the pain after the wound has healed. Have you forgotten the pain of giving birth? Forgot the hardships of pregnancy? Wanwan is not even one year old yet, and you want to have another child?"
When Meng Jinyao heard this, she recalled the feeling of being in so much pain that she was about to die in the delivery room. She was immediately frightened and the idea that had just emerged in her mind was instantly extinguished.
Gu Jingxi added, "If we suffer once more and give birth to a son instead of a daughter, and our wish is not fulfilled, will we try for a third child? We should use our energy to think about how to train Wanwan and make him a useful child. He will be able to talk and walk next year. When a child learns to walk and talk, he will be full of energy. It will be good if we can handle him."
Meng Jinyao thought this made sense and completely gave up the idea of having another daughter. She nodded in agreement with him and changed the subject: "By the way, husband, mother heard that you were sick and came to see you."
Gu Jingxi was stunned: "When did you come?"
Meng Jinyao replied: "She hasn't seen you yet. When she came, you had already taken the medicine and fell asleep. She ignored you and went directly to see Wanwan. Now she is still with Wanwan. I will go and call her over now."
Hearing this, Gu Jingxi was silent for two breaths, and then said, "Mother just came to see Wanwan and visit me at the same time, right?"
Meng Jinyao glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Mother is here to see you."
Gu Jingxi said, "After she came, she didn't even look at me. She went straight to Wanwan. You could say she didn't want to disturb my sleep, but now I'm awake and my mother didn't come to see me. She's still accompanying Wanwan. That proves she came to see me just for the sake of it."
Meng Jinyao was silent. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. When her mother learned that her husband had woken up, she only asked her to urge her husband to take the medicine, and then continued to entertain Wanwan.
Half an hour later, Madam Gu was about to go back to her own courtyard. She came to see her son. Seeing that he was fine, she felt relieved and said sternly, "You are not a child. Why don't you know how to keep warm? Remember to put on more clothes in the future. Don't fall ill again and bother your wife. She has to take care of both the child and you. It's very hard."
Gu Jingxi nodded repeatedly: "Mother is right, my son will pay attention to it in the future."
Madam Gu said, "You should take a good rest. I will go back first."
Gu Jingxi wanted to get up from the bed and send his old mother to the gate of the courtyard, but was stopped by his old mother. He had no choice but to say, "Mom, take care."
Madam Gu said "hmm", and then said to her daughter-in-law, "Ayao, you don't have to see me off. It's cold outside." Seeing that her daughter-in-law wanted to say something else, she said, "Okay, be obedient. Don't let both of you fall ill. If that happens, I, an old woman, won't be able to take care of you two."
After hearing this, Meng Jinyao gave up.
After Madam Gu left, Meng Jinyao whispered, "My husband, you are right. Mother really came all the way to see Wanwan. She only came to see you by chance. She left without saying a word to you."
Gu Jingxi smiled and said, "What else? I just caught a cold. Normally, if I caught a cold, she wouldn't have come all the way here. I was just blessed by Wanwan today."
Meng Jinyao glanced at him, thoughtfully: "Husband, are you jealous of Wanwan?"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Gu Jingxi raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "I already knew that the person you two care about most now is not me, but that kid who is still breastfeeding."
Meng Jinyao couldn't help but find it funny to hear his jealous words. He was already old, but he was still jealous of a baby. So she said softly, "I don't know if your position in my mother's heart has been shaken, but in my heart, my husband will always be the first. Without you, where would Wanwan be?"
Regardless of whether she was trying to comfort him or not, Gu Jingxi felt very relieved after hearing this. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, but he asked her doubtfully, "Ayao, are you trying to make me happy because you feel sorry for me because I'm sick?"
Meng Jinyao glared at him and said angrily, "I told you the truth, but you said I was lying to you. You are getting more and more hypocritical as you get older. I will ignore you."
Gu Jingxi quickly reached out and hugged his young wife, buried his face in the crook of her neck and rubbed it, and said softly: "In my heart, A Yao is also the first, always the first."
"Ok, I know."
Meng Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth and put her arms around his waist, feeling the warmth coming from his body, feeling happy and at ease.
