Chapter 97 Part 2: Giving Birth

 

^^

 

Wan Xing did not have as much thought as Wan Yue. Seeing that Lin Wei Xi was in a bad mood, she tried to please her by bringing the oranges and peel them: "Wangfei, this is the new tribute oranges, do you want to try?"

 

Lin Wei Xi had no appetite, she glanced at it and said, "Just put down first."

 

Wan Xing peeled the oranges for Lin Wei Xi silently. She placed the clean orange segments on the blue porcelain plate, while muttering unconsciously: "They just see that Wangye is not here. If Wangye is in the mansion, who dare to make you angry? "

 

Speaking of Gu Hui Yan, Lin Wei Xi's anger really weakened, and turned into melancholy. Gu Hui Yan had already left for half a month, and she was expecting labor in less than three months. Could Gu Hui Yan really rushed back?

 

Gu Hui Yan left very anxiously at that time, hurriedly passed the word that he was going to go faraway. When Lin Wei Xi packed his clothes, she couldn’t speak privately, even until he took people to depart. And in front of so many people, Lin Wei Xi couldn't talk to him the matter of giving birth and the like.

 

So did Gu Hui Yan know that she would have a baby in April? Lin Wei Xi's heart was gloomy, of course she could write to him and tell him, but before Gu Hui Yan left, he was still a bit indifferent with her. What's more, Gu Hui Yan was really occupied by the trip this time, and Lin Wei Xi rashly sent a letter urging him to return early. What was this called?

 

"Wangfei?"

 

Lin Wei Xi returned to her senses and saw Wan Xing looked at her with concern. Lin Wei Xi realized that she had been in a daze for a long time.

 

Lin Wei Xi’s anger suddenly burst out, and whispered: "Love return not return. Anyway, the birth of the eldest son also not caught up. It’s not unusual to miss another one. If you don't come back, I will name him myself."

 

Wan Xing didn't hear what Lin Wei Xi said, but looking at Wangfei’s face, it’s good if they didn’t know. Wan Xing smiled and didn't dare to interrupt.

 

The days without the head of the household passed by very slowly but also very quickly. Very slowly because Lin Wei Xi was frustrated every day, it seemed that there was no difference every single day. Very quickly because before she noticed it, it’s already March.

 

Lin Wei Xi's movement was already very inconvenient, she needed people to support her when going out. However, her belly was huge, but her waist was still slender. Today Gu Cheng Yao came to pay respect to her as usual. When he came in, he saw Lin Wei Xi walking around the garden supported by the maid. Her belly was already high and bulging, but her waist was surprisingly thin. Gu Cheng Yao almost squeezed a cold sweat. He was afraid the servants by the side would break Lin Wei Xi's waist if they were not careful.

 

Gu Cheng Yao's eyes followed Lin Wei Xi's body, and he couldn't help but a bit impatient. Wan Yue accompanied Lin Wei Xi, she became alert when she heard Shizi's arrival. When she saw Gu Cheng Yao's expression at this time, her heart sank. She immediately walked over and crisply yelled, "Greetings, Shizi."

 

The clear female voice immediately pulled Gu Cheng Yao's thoughts back, and he saw the maid in front of him watching him warily. Gu Cheng Yao only shoot her a glance, and then walked by Wan Yue silently, stopped five steps away, and steadily saluted Lin Wei Xi: "This son pay respect to mother."

 

The parent was here, Gu Cheng Yao was also in good health, so there was no reason to miss the daily paid respect in the morning and evening. In the past, Lin Wei Xi deliberately avoided him. When Gu Cheng Yao came to pay respect, they talked across the window, even if the paid respect was over. But today’ schedule was a bit unfortunate, unexpectedly bump into each other head-on.

 

Lin Wei Xi's face was indifferent, casually nodded without turning her face away. After this accident, she was not in the mood to walk in the garden as exercise to ensure a smooth delivery. She let Wan Xing helped her walk into the house.

 

Usually at this point Gu Cheng Yao would turn around and leave. But today didn’t know why, Gu Cheng Yao wanted to stay a little longer. He followed Lin Wei Xi into the main room with his face as usual. Behind, Wan Yue's gaze almost burned a hole in his back.

 

"How's mother lately? Did younger brother or sister troubled you?"

 

Lin Wei Xi looked up at Gu Cheng Yao strangely, and said, "It's alright, Shizi is considerate."

 

Gu Cheng Yao paused, and then asked: "I heard that mother’s appetite is not good recently and hardly eats much anymore?"

 

Lin Wei Xi’s morning sickness period was no long, but didn't expect when she was near delivery time she would be very nauseous instead, and had no appetite for anything. But everyone knew that Lin Wei Xi could not lack strength during this period of times.

 

Lin Wei Xi still looked unconcerned, said with a cold tone: "Who is so meddlesome and talked about this in front of you?"

 

Gu Cheng Yao was a little helpless. Lin Wei Xi had always been willful like this. Her health was not good, and everyone was caring for her, but she herself seemed to ignore it. Gu Cheng Yao didn't dare to irritate her, so he could only say: "No one talks too much. Your delivery is the most important matter in our mansion, and everyone in the mansion dare not to relax. Why still need someone else to remind you? Your body is weak, I heard that when women giving birth it consumes life’ qi and blood. If you don't eat properly right now, how can you have any strength then?"

 

Lin Wei Xi had heard these words many times, and casually let out an "hmm", without even lifting her head. Gu Cheng Yao was full of concern, but it seemed to only hit the air.

 

Gu Cheng Yao couldn't help laughing at himself. This was different from the past. No matter how much he said words of concern, Lin Wei Xi didn’t even bother to listen, let alone took it to heart. Perhaps only if these words come from his father's mouth, then Lin Wei Xi would more or less listen to them.

 

He knew that his feelings were inappropriate and useless, and instead could put Lin Wei Xi in crisis. Gu Cheng Yao was also determined to bury all this, they all should have a new life. However, no matter how many times he made up his mind, when he heard the people inadvertently say that Wangfei had no appetite, and barely touch her dinner these few days, he still couldn't hold back his heart and wanted to come and personally have a look.

 

He made an excuse for himself, he only came to take a look at Lin Wei Xi. But when he really saw the person, he wanted to stay with her for a while, persuading her to eat well and take care of her body.

 

Lin Wei Xi's intention to send off the guests was very obvious, but Gu Cheng Yao remained silent in front of her for a long time, and after a long while he was still not leaving. Lin Wei Xi's eyes fell on Gu Cheng Yao's body, and lightly glance at him: "Shizi, you still have something?"

 

Gu Cheng Yao stood in his original place for a while, and suddenly showed a helpless smile, or it should be said a forced smile: "You are right, you really saw this day."

 

What? Lin Wei Xi turned her head suspiciously, but she did not see Gu Cheng Yao's expression. Gu Cheng Yao turned his face away and deliberately looked at the vibrant spring scene outside the window: "Father sent a letter the day before yesterday, Shanxi and Shaanxi’ arrangements has been properly made. He should be back soon."

 

When his father return, she could really feel at ease.

 

This time Gu Cheng Yao didn't wait for Lin Wei Xi's reply, and walked out quickly before she could respond.

 

Of course Lin Wei Xi found it baffling. She only regarded Gu Cheng Yao as going crazy, and did not take the previous sentence to heart. It was now the end of March, and the capital was full of flowers and the spring breeze was cool and soft. According to the letter sent back by Yan Wang a few days ago, he should arrived in the capital in early April, just in time for when Lin Wei Xi giving birth.

 

But things in this world could have coincidences. On the evening of the conversation with Gu Cheng Yao, Lin Wei Xi suddenly felt her stomach hurts, and then the pain gradually became stronger, until she couldn't even stand steadily. The midwife that already arranged at earlier time came over to take a look, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid Wangfei is going to start."

 

Wan Xing was shocked: "But the due date is still half a month away!"

 

"Each woman's childbirth has its own circumstances. It's not uncommon to start half a month early." The midwife hurried out as she said, "Go and call people over, I'm afraid Wangfei will be tonight."
