Chapter 1572: Chapter 1573: Not Unhappy, Just More Heartbroken for You

”No!” As soon as An Jing mentioned wanting to have more children for him, Xiao Changyi immediately panicked and vehemently opposed.

”Hahaha...” An Jing laughed heartily again at his reaction.

Xiao Changyi could only look at her, doting yet helpless, as she laughed.

After laughing for quite a while, An Jing finally composed herself and seriously said to Xiao Changyi, ”Husband, my period should have come on the eighteenth, and now it’s the twenty-eighth. It’s been ten days past, and still hasn’t come. So even if I’m really pregnant, you should be able to accept it, right?”

Xiao Changyi rarely let out a small sigh, and after looking at An Jing, he said quietly, ”If you are really pregnant, what could I do if I couldn’t accept it? I can’t possibly stop you from having the baby.”

The words carried all the resignation in the world.

An Jing was both amused and annoyed: ”Husband, don’t be like that. If I’m pregnant, isn’t that a good thing?”

”I still don’t want you to hurt.”

”I know. But I also want you to be happy. If I’m pregnant, then it’s your child too.”

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

”Husband.”

Xiao Changyi still said nothing.

”Husband...” An Jing was somewhat unhappy. If she really was pregnant, of course, she’d want her husband to be just as happy as she was. This child also belonged to him.

Only then did Xiao Changyi speak: ”It’s not that I’m not happy, I’m just worried about you.”

Compared to the joy of having another child, he was genuinely more worried about her. He didn’t want her to go through the excruciating pain of labor again.

As he spoke, Xiao Changyi hugged An Jing even tighter. Very tightly. Even without his words, An Jing could feel his concern.

An Jing was incredibly moved and hugged Xiao Changyi tightly as well, resting her chin on his shoulder. She whispered softly in his ear, ”You are the father of my child. Even if it hurts, I don’t mind. Moreover, when I give birth, won’t you be by my side? Watching me in pain would make you feel bad, wouldn’t you feel sorry for me too?”

”Jing Er...”

”Husband, every woman experiences pain during childbirth. It’s really normal. That’s the greatness of a mother, willing to endure the pain to give birth to the child.” Then, An Jing became particularly earnest and said, ”Husband, please give me this great opportunity!”

Xiao Changyi, for once, let out a low laugh. After a while, he sighed and said, ”You just want me to happily accept your pregnancy, right? I’ll try my best.”

An Jing immediately became happy: ”You said it! If I’m pregnant, you must accept it with joy!”

Xiao Changyi really wanted to say he only said ”try his best,” not ”certainly,” but seeing An Jing genuinely hoping for this response, with her eyes full of expectation looking at him, he nodded and responded with, ”Hmm.”

Finally, An Jing was completely happy.

...

In the following days, An Jing’s period still didn’t come, and the Imperial Physicians were still unable to diagnose her as pregnant.

Soon, it was Xiao Changyi’s birthday.

This day was the sixth day of the second month.

Since today was Xiao Changyi’s birthday, An Jing took the initiative. By yesterday evening, she had already brought the four children out of the palace and didn’t let them attend school today, so they could stay home and accompany Xiao Changyi, the birthday star.

The four children, upon seeing Xiao Changyi today, knelt down in front of him, bowed their heads, and loudly said in unison, ”We wish father a happy birthday and a long life as enduring as the heavens.”

Even though the wishes were quite ordinary, Xiao Changyi was still very happy.
