Chapter 131 – I’ll wait here for you and the baby to come out (1)

To follow Old Master Lu’s orders, someone would have to be sent to Myanmar to purchase jade there and find the most famous jade carver to do the carving for Old Master Lu’s great-grandson’s gift.

The butler silently noted down these orders. It was good that Old Master Lu could turn his attention to spoiling his future great-grandson.

New Year passed, and it was the start of a new year. Soon, spring followed after the departing winter. In no time at all, Ye Zhen’s belly had gotten bigger and bigger. At night, she could only lie on her side to sleep. Her hands and feet were swollen, and her waist and back felt sore. She would frequently toss and turn, unable to find a comfortable position to sleep. Sometimes, she would wake up in the middle of the night from leg cramps.

Lu Beichuan had woken up countless nights to massage Ye Zhen’s leg cramps. Seeing the tears running down Ye Zhen’s face, he felt awful. The only thing he could do was hug her to comfort her.

“We’re not having another kid after this.” Ye Zhen wiped her tears and took a deep breath to calm herself.

During this time, she had read lots of pregnancy books and knew the typical symptoms that a woman would have during the second and third trimester. She had mentally prepared herself for what would happen in the late stages of pregnancy and tried her best to keep her mood stable. The doctor had advised that she shouldn’t get too riled up. It would be bad for her and the baby.

Having woken up in the middle of the night from pain, she didn’t feel sleepy and couldn’t go back to sleep.

Ye Zhen leaned on the headboard and stroked her large belly. “Just wait, once this little brat comes out, I’ll definitely punish him!”

Lu Beichuan wrapped his arm around Ye Zhen and echoed, “Yeah, he needs to be punished for being so badly-behaved.”

“Did you hear that baby? If you don’t want to be punished by dad and mom when you come out, start behaving better and settle down. If you torment mom anymore, you’ll definitely be punished when you come out!”

Right after these words were said, it seemed as if the little fellow in her belly understood her words. The baby responded with naughty kick.

Ye Zhen shouted, “You little brat!”

It was normal for the fetus to move around.

Five months into her pregnancy, the baby had started moving. As her belly grew larger, this brat got naughtier too. Even the doctor was saying that she would definitely give birth to a healthy and naughty baby.

Ye Zhen took Lu Beichuan’s hand and placed it on the spot where the baby was kicking. “Feel what he’s doing. He’s so energetic. When he grows up, he’s going to destroy the villa for sure.

Lu Beichuan quietly said, “I’ll watch him. If he dares to do that, I’ll spank him.”

It seemed as the baby could understand what he was saying too; the baby was even more restless than before and kicked even harder.

Ye Zhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Don’t say another word about punishing him. It’s uncanny how he responds to...”

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Zhen felt an intense pain coming from her lower part. Tightly furrowing her brow, she quietly hissed in pain. Her face showed her pain too. She grabbed Lu Beichuan’s hand and urgently said, “Beichuan... my belly hurts...”

Panic, which was rarely seen on Lu Beichuan, appeared on his face. But, he still calmly and methodically laid Ye Zhen down on the bed. He comfortingly said, “Don’t be scared, I’m here with you. Nothing bad will happen.”

Ye Zhen glanced at him and nervously asked, “Is the baby coming?”

“We’ll go to the hospital right away. Don’t be scared.”

While tightly holding Ye Zhen’s hand, he used his other hand to take out his phone to make a call.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It didn’t take long before the entire villa was brightly lit up.

Mrs. Lu saw the sweat dripping down on Ye Zhen’s face and repeatedly urged, “Hurry, hurry, hurry, take her to the hospital!”

Lu Beichuan carried Ye Zhen downstairs. The driver was already waiting outside the front doors with a car.

After her son and daughter-in-law had gotten into the car, Mother Lu urged this and that before she anxiously went back into the villa to get some essential items to take to the hospital.
