The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1769 - 1783: Sweet Burden (5)

The physician cast a look at Jian Anning, whose form was already quite sizable, and sighed. "The expectant mother is truly too heavy! Failing to manage your diet like this will not only hinder the healthy development of the child, leading to an excessively large baby, but will also make childbirth exceedingly difficult for yourself. Please exercise more control moving forward!"

Jian Anning: "..."

Yu Zexiao: "..."

In the end, with no complications arising for the little ones, the couple could finally breathe a little easier. However, just as Jian Anning had diligently focused on gaining weight to nurture the weaker of the two children, she now faced the daunting task of weight loss.

Unwilling to shed pounds carelessly, she immediately requested a detailed dietary plan from the doctor, outlining necessary supplements and daily food intake to ensure the children's proper nutrition. Once the physician had compiled the list, Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao proceeded to the Leng Family residence to have Feng Linxue review it.

Before any words were exchanged, the Leng Family members erupted in laughter upon witnessing Jian Anning's considerably swollen appearance. Mu Shang’en, not yet familiar with her, tugged at his mother Mu Qingyu's clothing, his young face etched with curiosity, and inquired, "Mom, who is that? Why has an aunt we've never seen before arrived?"

Jian Anning was nearly brought to tears. Did she truly appear that immense? Alright, she acknowledged her significant weight gain, but it surely wasn't as extreme as their reactions suggested...

Swiftly, Feng Linxue identified the crucial nutrients and food portions from the doctor's recommendations that Jian Anning must consume daily. She then offered words of encouragement, "Many women indulge excessively during pregnancy, not only eating copiously but also overconsuming various supplements. They mistakenly believe they are nourishing the child, but in reality, it contributes to their own weight gain, making subsequent weight loss a formidable challenge. You are only six months along; pay attention now, and recovery will be much smoother later. Do not fret; while you... have indeed gained a considerable amount, you can also incorporate moderate exercise and reduce your food intake."

Jian Anning's face flushed with embarrassment. After all, her weight gain had been so pronounced that even the doctor expressed concern, and Mu Shang’en failing to recognize her was indeed somewhat... excessive.

After a brief examination, Feng Linxue finally nodded with satisfaction. "The children are developing very healthily. Congratulations."

Indeed, despite her perhaps slightly excessive intake earlier, hearing that the children were well brought them immense relief.

As they prepared to depart, Mu Qingyu informed Mu Shang’en that this was indeed the aunt from the Yu Family. Mu Shang’en remained skeptical. "When Mom was expecting my sister, she didn't get this fat!"

Mu Qingyu felt a touch awkward, unsure how to respond, prompting Leng Yunlin to step in. "What do you know? Your aunt is carrying twins, so naturally, her belly is larger than when your mother had your sister."

"Wow, two babies?" This revelation captivated Mu Shang’en and Leng Xiaobao. The two youngsters immediately rushed forward with excitement to gently touch Jian Anning's belly. At six months pregnant, fetal movement was already noticeable. Leng Xiaobao's palm was suddenly nudged by a tiny foot from within, astonishing him.

"Wow, Auntie, what is the little baby doing?"

"He's saying hello to you," Jian Anning replied with a smile. Beside her, Mu Shang’en, who might have been touching the side with the less active baby, felt no movement for a moment, leaving him a little crestfallen. He blinked his eyes and asked, "Why didn't the little brother say hello to me?"
