id sarcastically, "Honey, did you find me attractive last night"Gu Jingxi's face stiffened, and he replied with a question, "How does Madam feel about the touch"Meng Jin Yao gritted her teeth: "Very w...I am pregnant.

These four words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Gu Xiumin completely stunned.

Gu Xiuming's head buzzed, unable to believe or accept the reality. He was about to become a father, yet he felt no joy whatsoever at the prospect.

Sometimes, what you fear the most is what comes to pass. He didn't want Wan'er to get pregnant, fearing that it would make his marriage even more difficult. But reality played a cruel joke on him.

Wan'er is pregnant, he is going to be a father.

When he most wanted a child with Wan'er, he couldn't get pregnant no matter what. Wan'er took fertility medicine but still didn't conceive. When he sobered up and didn't want a child anymore, that was when he felt feverish all over, couldn't control himself and indulged, and she got pregnant.

Li Wan'er didn't hear a reply and slowly lifted her head. Seeing Gu Xiuming with a shocked expression, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression was somewhat indescribable, not at all the demeanor one would expect from a man about to become a father.

Her smile froze, and she hesitated before asking, "Brother Xiuming, we have a child. Aren't you happy"

Hearing the sound, Gu Shuming came to his senses. He saw his beloved girl looking at him nervously. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and forced a smile: "I'm happy, I'm very happy. I'm so happy that I don't know how to react for a moment. Wan'er, let me take a moment to gather myself.

Li Wan'er noticed that his smile seemed a little strained and confused. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like he wasn't happy. She hoped she was overthinking things.

Gu Xiuming also noticed her strangeness, reaching out to touch her abdomen and saying in a comforting tone, "Wan'er, do you think this child will be a boy or a girl"

Hearing this, Li Wan'er finally felt relieved. Brother Xiu Ming liked her, he was just too excited and didn't know how to react. She softly replied, "How would I know now We'll find out when the child is born. But I hope it's a boy, who looks like Brother Xiu Ming. Then Brother Xiu Ming can teach him to read and write, and in the future, he will pass the exams and become a successful person."

Gu Xiuming frowned imperceptibly. He didn't want a boy; how could he have an illegitimate son before his official wife had entered the household That way, he wouldn't be able to marry a woman from an equally prestigious family. If it were a girl, it would be slightly better. No, it would be best if there wasn't even a girl.

Li Wan'er leaned against him, immersed in the joy of being pregnant. She didn't notice anything amiss with him.

In the evening, Gu Xiuming had no appetite for dinner. The food tasted bland and tasteless, so he just ate a few bites to get by.

Li Wan'er seeing this, then asked: "Brother Xiu Ming, is the food not to your taste"

"No, I had too much for lunch and I'm not very hungry now," Gu Shuiming shook his head in denial. He didn't want to talk to her much at the moment, so he said again, "Wan'er, you continue eating, I'll think about what name to give our child later."

Li Wan'er didn't doubt him and smiled, "Then Xiu Ming, you think about it. I haven't finished eating yet, continue."

Gu Xiuming nodded and said to her that they should go to the study first to look at "The Classic of Poetry" and see if they could find a good name in it. Then he left the dinner table and went to his study.

Back in his study, Gu Xiuming finally couldn't hold back his emotions. He was filled with pent-up anger that he desperately needed to release. His face darkened, and he strode towards his writing desk three steps at a time. He grabbed the newly finished article and tore it to shreds, crumpling it into a ball before throwing it to the ground in an attempt to vent his frustration.

Why

Why would God do this to him

Because he had Wan'er, all the girls he liked ignored him. He was already unlucky enough, but now they were giving him a child It wasn't much different from giving him a jinx.

With this child, the well-matched girl was even less willing to pay him any attention.

What a bummer!

-

At night, Gu Xiuming lay in bed, with the canopy over his head.

A few days ago, he didn't want Wan'er to become pregnant. He endured it time and time again, but Wan'er thought that there was something wrong with him. She made him a tonic soup for potency and told him it was brain-boosting soup to make up for his hard study, coaxing him to drink it.

He was in his prime, having drank three consecutive days of invigorating tonics. The first two days were fine, but on the third day he felt feverish and vaguely sensed something was amiss. However, with limited self-control, he eventually succumbed that night, which led to pregnancy.

Since he's already pregnant, what is there for him to endure

With a surge of anger, Gu Xiuming could only vent it on the culprit. He pulled everyone around him into his embrace, his movements somewhat rough.

Li Wan'er was used to Gu Xiuming's gentleness. Now, this made her a little confused. Before she could ask, her lips were blocked by the other party. The other party was very eager and aggressive. She passively endured it.

When faced with honesty, Li Wan'er's mind suddenly echoed the doctor's advice, and she came to her senses in an instant. It was probably due to the power of motherhood that she pushed him away forcefully.

Gu Xiuming was holding back a fire that he couldn't vent. Now that he was suddenly interrupted, he became even more furious. He asked with a gloomy face: "Wan'er, what are you doing Don't you like me anymore You don't even allow me to touch you."

Li Wan'er saw that his face was unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "Xiuming brother, don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean it."

Gu Xiuming then asked, "What do you mean"

Li Wan'er touched her flat stomach, her cheeks flushed with a blush as she shyly smiled: "The imperial physician said that the fetus is not yet settled, so it is best to avoid intercourse to prevent miscarriage. So, for the sake of the child, Xiu Ming gege can bear with it for a while, okay"

Gu Xiuming was stunned. Could having sex during pregnancy lead to a miscarriage

For a fleeting moment, Gu Xiuming slowly reached out to touch Li Wan'er's abdomen. His eyes darkened with unreadable emotions. Shocking thoughts flashed through his mind, and his heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He silently thought to himself: Child, don't blame your father. If anyone is to blame, it's only you for arriving at the wrong time.

He steeled himself, his eyes flashing with ferocity and determination, yet a smile played on his lips. He softly coaxed, "Wan'er, perhaps it's been too long since we've been intimate. Would you allow me one time"

For the sake of her child, Li Wan'er was resolute: "No, the imperial physician said it wouldn't be possible. What if something happens to the child"

Gu Xiuming frowned, revealing displeasure: "Wan'er, did you have a child and no longer want me Is the child more important to you than I am in your heart"

“How is that possible” Li Wan’er shook her head repeatedly. “Brother Xiuming is the most important person to me, but the child is also very important.”

Gu Xiuming softened his face and coaxed her, "Wan'er, I'll be gentle, it's okay. That's my child too, how could I harm him"

"That won't work

Li Wan'er wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, her attitude still resolute. This was the child she had been longing for, the one who would give her a foothold in the household and change her elders' attitude towards her. She absolutely could not afford any missteps.

Seeing this, Gu Xiumin's face darkened. At that moment, the anger he had been suppressing seemed to have a vent, and he had an excuse to vent his dissatisfaction at her and give her a cold shoulder.

Gu Xiuming's face was tight, his voice filled with anger as he said: "Child, child, all you ever talk about is children. Do you even think of me I feel like I'm just a tool for you to have children. When you didn't have kids, you begged me for them. Now that you have a child, I'm useless to you and you're kicking me aside."

After speaking, he got out of bed without a word and put on his clothes.

Li Wan'er was dumbfounded by Gu Xiuming's actions. Her brother, Xiu Ming, had always been gentle, but now he was yelling at her. A man who is dissatisfied with his desires is truly terrifying.

She was shaken, but for the sake of her child, she remained firm in her decision and made no concessions.

Finally, Li Wan'er could only watch helplessly as Gu Xiuming stormed away in anger. Her heart ached, and two lines of tears streamed down her face. She was pregnant, yet he couldn't show any understanding.

Fine, be angry if you want to. The child is more important, and she won't make a fuss anymore. Tomorrow she will cook herself and try to appease him properly.en asking his father for guidance. To be able to receive personal instruction from Gu Jingxi, one's exam score shouldn't be too bad. If he could still fail, then it would prove that he wasn't intellig...
