Chapter 2176 -1: Pregnancy 3

Zhuang Xiyue thought well, how could a man take care of a pregnant woman; now it was time for her as the mother-in-law to step in. But Yan Song would not appreciate it. He placed the cup of water on the table, took out a tissue to gently wipe Yun Ya’s mouth, yet his words were blunt and cold.

“No need, I can take care of her.”

“You’re not going to work?” Zhuang Xiyue asked in surprise.

Yan Song said calmly, “I have already submitted a leave request to my superior, and it was approved this morning. I will be with her until she gives birth.”

Yun Ya looked at Yan Song in shock.

The man’s handsome face remained as expressionless as ever.

Zhuang Xiyue seemed like she was meeting this son of hers for the first time. Since childhood, he had always been a man of his own ideas; neither she nor Yan Nanmo could control him. Whatever he said he would do, he did, and although he was somewhat willful, when faced with matters of family and the country, he was definitely a person who adhered to his principles. For example, when he decisively joined the army back then, he didn’t need any help from the family and relied on his own abilities to make a name for himself. Anyone who mentioned the Yan Family’s eldest grandson would give a thumbs up; this son was her greatest pride in life.

Unexpectedly, he had gone against his usual principles for Yun Ya, and Zhuang Xiyue didn’t know if this was good or bad, a blessing or a curse. However, from her perspective as a woman and mother, there’s no such thing as prospects or the future. If it’s his own choice, she understood and supported it.

Because it’s his own choice, even if there are changes in the future, only he can bear the outcome.

At this point, what more could Zhuang Xiyue say? She thought Yan Nanmo was already very good to his wife, but she didn’t expect her son to be even better.

“I can’t control your matters, but you’re ultimately a man, and while you may be able to take care of yourself, there will be times when you’re not thorough in caring for a pregnant woman. I’m staying to take care of Yun Ya, so let’s not say anything more. I’ll go back and pack my luggage to move in. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb the two of you.” With that, Zhuang Xiyue went back home to pack her things.

Yun Ya and Yan Song exchanged glances; Yun Ya smiled and said, “Let Aunt Zhuang move in. After all, she has the experience.”

Yan Song had no reason to object; as long as everything was for Yun Ya’s well-being, he wouldn’t disagree.

After Zhuang Xiyue returned, she told Yan Nanmo about Yun Ya’s pregnancy. Yan Nanmo was very happy; he was going to have a grandchild soon, how could he not be?

“But the elderly have always said, one shouldn’t announce a pregnancy before the first three months are over. We are a family, so I’m only telling you; you must not let the news slip outside.” Zhuang Xiyue instructed earnestly.

Yan Nanmo nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes.”

Yan Nanmo paused and asked, “What about Grandpa? Should we tell them? If Grandpa knows this good news, it might uplift him.”

Zhuang Xiyue thought for a moment and said, “Better not. The old house is bustling with people, and if the news leaks, who knows who might have ulterior motives. I can’t let my grandchild be wronged. Let’s announce it after three months, when the pregnancy is more stable, and I’m better prepared to face those with hidden agendas.”

Yan Nanmo nodded, “I didn’t consider this thoroughly, let’s do as you say.”

Zhuang Xiyue moved in with big and small bags. Not only did she come, but she also brought two housekeepers and several bodyguards. The two housekeepers, one responsible for cleaning — Aunt Chun, and the other for cooking — Aunt Lin, had both been with Zhuang Xiyue for many years and were highly trusted. However, the majority of the care for Yun Ya was handled by Zhuang Xiyue herself, rarely entrusting others.

As she put it, even housekeepers can’t be fully trusted, only she is most reliable.

Yun Ya didn’t expect that the nightmare was just beginning.

First, citing the pregnancy rule against intimacy, Zhuang Xiyue moved Yan Song to the guest room, and she slept with Yun Ya, claiming it was to better take care of Yun Ya. Yan Song’s face darkened; Yun Ya had to comfort him, stating that Aunt Zhuang was also doing it for their good and urged Brother Yan to be understanding.

So Yan Song stayed in the guest room.

And their big bed was occupied by Zhuang Xiyue.

As if this wasn’t enough, whenever Yun Ya and Yan Song showed any intimacy, the inspector Zhuang Xiyue would suddenly appear, earnestly advising Yan Song against it, using Yun Ya and the baby as an excuse to curtail any affectionate behavior.

Yan Song endured.

After all, it was his own mother, not to mention she always spoke on behalf of Yun Ya’s well-being.
