365 Happiness
Jun Hua doesn't know whether she should laugh or cry upon seeing how Soujin behaved after he heard the news of her pregnancy. During the early stage, she was still mostly fine… alright, she did throw up her food countless times and only after several days with the aid of medicine did she got better.
The journey that originally took one month, now took three months because Soujin didn't want her to overexert herself. The end result was their general skipped the court and the soldiers training. Of course, with Shu on Yan's side, the emperor won't be allowed to skip his work. As for the soldiers, he already sent a messenger fully equipped with the hellish training the two of them had prepared.
With their trusted people supervising the training, the life of countless soldiers entered hell for weeks. They almost couldn't get up from their bed if not because of the threat and force, which proved how hard the training the two had prepared was.
Soujin looked towards Jun Hua's stomach, which already risen a little bit because she had reached the fourth month, with a gentle gaze. His hand was holding her shoulder warmly.
"We will arrive in Ming City in a couple of minutes," Soujin said as he leaned back, "My mother is already waiting for us."
Jun Hua put a wry smile. Qin Shie was already ecstatic the moment she heard about the doctor's confirmation about her pregnancy two months before. Because of this, Soujin slowing the carriage and her condition worsened (morning sickness), she had to wait for almost two months before she could meet with them.
On the other hand, her uncle can't meet with her due to his wife was also expecting. Her grandfather must have told him the news, so she didn't need to bother sending the news again.
"What about Grandfather Souka?" Jun Hua called him like that because she already married Nanglong Soujin.
"He still has some matter in the court," Soujin simply said.
Jun Hua peered towards the sky. It was already afternoon, the court should have already finished, unless there was an important matter there.
Before long, their carriage arrived at their residence. The servants came forward and helped taking care of their belongings while Xia helped her Miss to walk down the stairs. Her face was brimming with happiness at the sight of her beloved Young Miss.
Qin Shie was not patient enough to stay in the living room when she heard about her son coming home. She walked to the front door and her eyes lit up when she looked towards Jun Hua's slightly raised belly.
"Mother, sorry for the delay," Soujin apologized.
Qin Shie waved her hand, "There is no need to apologize. Your health came in the first place. Hua'er, let's come inside, mother have already asked the servants to prepare your favorite food."
Jun Hua bowed gently, "Daughter thanks mother for the care."
Qin Shie quickly ushered the two of them into the house as they ate the dinner together. Her happiness was evident as her mouth always curved upwards, showing a fine smile in her slightly aged face.
Throughout the dinner, Qin Shie kept on asking about Jun Hua's condition. It was more to say, that Qin Shie was asking about the baby's condition, but the two of them answered all of them patiently. After an eventful dinner, the night had turned late and she urged the two of them to rest.
Jun Hua looked towards Soujin, "Will you sleep in a separated compound again?"
During their journey, Soujin didn't sleep in the same place as Jun Hua. From Ming Hui's reminder, he knew that he cannot touch her for several months during the early pregnancy. He's a healthy man, and he didn't want to torture himself, so he voluntary chose to not sleep in the same place with Jun Hua.
Soujin smiled cheekily, "Do you miss me?"
"Not at all," Jun Hua answered ruthlessly when she saw that he was getting shameless again.
However, Soujin ignored her retort as he pulled her into his embrace, "You're lying."
Jun Hua didn't have any intention to refuse him. She was worried that excessive movement won't be good for her condition. After several seconds in Soujin's embrace, the two of them head towards their room.
Upon their arrival, Jun Hua walked straight to the bed for a rest. She felt that she had become extremely lazy during this time, especially with Soujin almost always accompanying her in every situation.
"Do you think the child will be a boy or girl?" Jun Hua raised her head and started a conversation.
Soujin took off his robe before sitting beside Jun Hua, "Why does it matter? We can have a lot of children later."
Jun Hua looked at the man doubtfully. How many children did he want?
Seeing the question in Jun Hua's eyes, Soujin raised his hand, "Ten?"
The answer resulted in him getting a pillow thrown on his head from Jun Hua. She looked at him indignantly. He may want that much, but she didn't want to have too many. Did he think she like staying idle and wait like this? 10 children would mean 9 years of pregnancy in total after counting them separately. For the Heaven's sake, she wished to beat him up if he dared to do it.
Soujin rubbed his cheek that got hit by Jun Hua's pillow as though the pillow hurt him. He smiled devilishly, "Is that not enough? Do you want more?"
'THE OPPOSITE!' Jun Hua glared at the man and pulled the blanket to sleep first. Soujin lied down beside her and stroke her head tenderly.
"If it's a boy, I will train him hard to be proficient in martial arts. But if it's a girl, you will be the one in charge of her training."
Jun Hua felt a bit doubtful in her way of training. Regardless, she only knew a little bit of matter about women because of her previous life. Somehow, she kind of envy Fan Lanying since Ming Hui obviously can be the one to teach their daughter if they have one.
"I'm not sure that I can become a good mother," Jun Hua admitted.
Soujin's brow arched, "Of course you will be a good mother. If you need to ask something, my mother can answer them for you."
Jun Hua giggled at the thought of asking Qin Shie about this matter. She would surely be extremely happy to contribute to things regarding her grandchild. She was indeed a fine woman to raise Soujin this far.
"Let's sleep. We will arrange the training for them when the child has born."
Jun Hua nodded her head. Inside her mind, she thought about their previously extremely hard training in martial art. Their children would surely suffer if they used the same training. Hopefully, they can make a better way of training for the children without making them suffer too much.
