The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1770 - 1784: Sweet Burden (6)

"Come to my side!" Xiaobao generously offered his spot and looked up with a smile, his praise for his aunt boundless, "Auntie, you’re incredible!" He continued, "My mommy and little auntie each only had one baby, but you’ve got two at once!"

With that thought, he suddenly recalled something and turned to glare scornfully at Leng Yunting, sputtering, "That bad guy keeps promising to give me a little brother, but up till now, there isn’t even a trace of him!"

If not for En’en and Leng Mo’s presence, he would be the sole child in the Leng Family.

Leng Yunting was nearly incensed, while Yu Zexiao patted his little head, asking, "Impressive, isn’t it? Between a brother and a sister, which would Xiaobao and En’en prefer Auntie to have?"

Xiaobao and Mu Shang’en exchanged a swift glance before promptly answering, "Sister!"

"Oh? Don’t you already have a sister?" Yu Zexiao inquired, puzzled. Xiaobao waved his hand magnanimously, offering a rational explanation, "Aside from our little sister (Leng Mo), all the other children around us are boys. Mom says there are more boys than girls these days, making our little sister incredibly precious. If En’en and I lack wives in the future, Auntie having two daughters means we’ll have someone to marry!"

This little rascal had clearly learned to plan for the future.

"Auntie, remember to definitely have a sister!"

Before departing, Xiaobao waved his tiny paw in farewell. Upon returning to the Yu Family, Yu Zexiao shared the test results with the parents, who were left quite speechless.

"Alright, since Dr. Feng brought it up, we should simply be mindful."

In truth, Jian Anning had long desired to shed some weight. Consuming five meals daily, with each meal comprising more than two bowls of food... it was indeed challenging not to gain weight.

As she reached the bedroom and caught sight of herself in the mirror, appearing utterly spherical, her spirits plummeted.

Emerging later and glancing at Yu Zexiao, he remained as youthful and handsome as ever, with an upright physique, whereas she now appeared nearly twice his size.

How could she have been so naive before? While she genuinely wanted the best for the child, the way she had been eating meant it wouldn't be surprising if he were to stray. She would likely feel too embarrassed to even hope for his fidelity!

Reflecting on it, ever since she became pregnant... they hadn't engaged in intimacy at all, had they?

Initially, upon the discovery of her pregnancy, her physical condition was precarious. Subsequently, it was revealed she was carrying twins, with one developing at a slower pace, which instilled fear that led them to exercise extreme caution. Later, he embarked on a business trip that lasted over a month. By the time he returned until the present moment... she had already been pregnant for six months.

Six months devoid of intimacy, not even the slightest affectionate interaction.

If Yu Zexiao were to seek companionship with other women, she would genuinely worry about his inability to resist. At this moment, she wasn't ardently desiring physical closeness with him; she simply wished to ask... did his feelings for her still endure?

Isn't it commonly said that after many years of marriage, holding your partner's hand feels like your left hand holding your right? From dating to marriage, nearly seven years have passed. Seven years are famously associated with the 'seven-year itch.'

She yearned to know if his affection for her remained boundless.

But this type of inquiry... how was she supposed to pose it?

It was proving to be rather awkward! She simply couldn't bring herself to ask him directly why he hadn't touched her in six months, whether he was considering other options.

Frowning, she observed Yu Zexiao seated at his desk, engrossed in reading. After considerable thought, she mused, perhaps she should simply try to gauge his feelings, shouldn't she?
