Chapter 2196: Chapter 2196: Embarrassment
Gu Ya hasn’t returned, but Second Sister’s child is about to be born. Although it’s early winter and hasn’t snowed, the weather is particularly cold.
Su Yunjin dressed both children in cotton-padded clothes.
Little Yuanbao and Little Tiangua are both well-nourished by Su Yunjin, and once dressed in cotton-padded clothes, they look round and plump like two glutinous rice balls.
With Second Sister giving birth, Su Yunjin couldn’t possibly take the two children along. First of all, both children are young, only one-year-old toddlers, and taking them to the place where Second Sister is giving birth would inevitably frighten them.
Secondly, it’s so cold outside now, taking the two children out would easily expose them to the chill.
For the good of the two children, Su Yunjin decided to leave them at home, letting Aunt Bao and the nanny take care of them, and Su Yunjin wasn’t worried at all; the two children would definitely be well taken care of!
After bringing along the gifts she had prepared early on, Su Yunjin also took some tonics that Princess Rui had previously given her. After childbirth, Second Sister would be weak, so the tonics would help her recover.
Having made the arrangements, just as Su Yunjin was about to leave, Little Yuanbao and Little Tiangua suddenly tugged at her hem, not letting her go.
Su Yunjin looked down at the two little ones tugging her clothes, finding it both amusing and exasperating. She had to rush to see Second Sister, so she coaxed the little ones, "Yuanbao, be good. Mama is going to see your auntie. She’s about to have a little brother. You both be good, and after I see your auntie, I’ll come back."
Even though the two children were still young and couldn’t understand what she was saying, Su Yunjin always tried to speak to them in a conciliatory tone whenever they acted spoiled.
Little Yuanbao seemed to understand what his mother was saying. After Su Yunjin finished speaking, Little Yuanbao slowly released the grip of his small hand on her clothing.
Su Yunjin managed to coax Little Yuanbao, but Little Tiangua kept tugging at her clothes, burrowing into her arms.
Worried that Little Tiangua might fall from the couch, Su Yunjin quickly held Little Tiangua in her arms. Little Tiangua didn’t want Su Yunjin to leave, but it was Aunt Bao who finally managed to coax her with a small rocking horse.
The rocking horse was sent by Lady Lu, fearing the children might get hurt. Su Yunjin specifically instructed people to cover the horse with a layer of cotton fabric, ensuring the children could play safely without getting hurt.
After Little Tiangua was coaxed with the rocking horse, Su Yunjin was finally able to go see Second Sister. By the time Su Yunjin arrived, Mrs. Shen and the others were already there, and even the eldest brother, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, was present.
Since being refused at the pier last time, Guo Qiulan had harbored resentment towards the Su sisters.
Guo Qiulan didn’t want to see the Su sisters, nor did she want to watch Second Sister give birth. On that day, she used the excuse that going to such a bloody place as the delivery room would harm the fetus, and didn’t go.
Mrs. Shen and the others were very concerned and attentive to the child in Guo Qiulan’s belly. When Guo Qiulan said she wouldn’t go, neither Mrs. Shen nor Su Muze objected.
Guo Qiulan stayed home but felt bored and restless alone, so she went back to her mother’s house.
Guo Qiulan knew that Su Muze and the others would be delayed for at least two days, so she planned to stay at her mother’s house for two days.
When Su Muze and the others returned, she would go back to the Su Family.
When Su Muze saw Su Yunjin, he felt somewhat guilty but also somewhat resentful and dissatisfied towards her.
The little sister’s family is now so wealthy, yet they wouldn’t even agree to a small request like letting him go to the pier.
Qiuqiu was so upset she almost had a miscarriage.
The little sister is no longer the same sister who was good to him. Qiuqiu was right; now that the little sister and her husband are successful and wealthy, they look down on poor relatives like them.
