The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1779 - 1793: The Birth of the Little Bun (5)
Previously on The King’s Enchanting...
Women are naturally fond of beauty, but she didn’t react this strongly before. Since getting pregnant, she initially felt she was too skinny and needed to gain weight desperately. But after gaining weight, she felt she was too fat. Now it’s the stretch marks during pregnancy she’s starting to dislike.
These marks aren’t impossible to get rid of; sometimes they disappear on their own after the baby is born. Of course, there’s also a good chance some might stay. At worst, they’ll just need some good care.
"You don’t need to worry about it," Yu Zexiao laughed, "Even if you have nothing growing on you, you’re not that good-looking. You weren’t very attractive to begin with, and now it’s just worse. I won’t hold it against you."
"What did you say!" Even though Jian Anning knew he wasn’t really wrong—she wasn’t unattractive, in fact, she was quite pretty. But that also depended on who you compared her to.
Though she’s in her early thirties, even if she were tossed into the dazzling entertainment industry, her refined aura and billions in assets would make her come off as noble to others. But compared to Yu Zexiao, a devilishly handsome man prettier than most women, well, she indeed was what he called "not good-looking"!
However, even if it’s true, he shouldn’t say it like that!
Jian Anning, no longer upset, lifted her foot and stomped hard on Yu Zexiao’s foot, twisting it twice for good measure. Although she was wearing slippers, with her weight, it still hurt quite a bit.
Yu Zexiao’s face immediately contorted in pain, and he squatted down. Jian Anning, feeling a surge of empowerment, declared, "Not good-looking? Even if I’m not, I’m still your wife and the mother of your two kids! If you dare despise me, believe it or not, I’ll leave with the kids forever! If you ever look at any little girl, believe it or not, I’ll snip you!"
"I-I believe you! I do!" You just can’t mess with a woman, especially a pregnant one—they are absolutely the boss of the house! Jian Anning vented her frustration and felt much better, but even so, he still went to ask Dr. Feng.
Now that Jian Anning is pregnant, laser treatments and some creams can’t be used arbitrarily, but some dietary supplements and even exercising can be effective to some extent.
Soon, Feng Linxue’s prescription arrived, and Jian Anning followed it diligently. The stretch marks and blemishes from pregnancy didn’t disappear quickly, but at least they didn’t get worse.
Jian Anning seemed to still hold a grudge—who told Yu Zexiao to upset her! When eating fish, she made him meticulously remove the bones; when eating meat, he had to trim off all the fat, or she wouldn’t eat. Her water had to be just right, not too hot nor too cold.
She brought out all her formerly absent fussiness.
Yu Zexiao certainly knew she was being spoiled and thus behaved delicately, but, alas, she was already more than eight months pregnant. Everyone in the Yu Family would reproach Yu Zexiao if he found fault with her. Naturally, Yu Zexiao was aware of this and chose not to get upset with her.

However, Jian Anning held off for a long time, up until nine months, and yet her appetite didn’t decrease but rather increased slightly. Every night before sleeping, she always felt hungry.
When Little Sweet Potato was born, it coincided with her sitting at the head of the bed, munching on a roasted sweet potato. It was winter, and the oily, fragrant, and sweet roasted sweet potato was perfect. She couldn’t even lay down to sleep, only able to sit at the head of the bed with a colossal cushion behind her.
