Chapter 2179 -1 (Extra): Pregnancy 4_2

Zhuang Xiyue was so worried her hair turned white; she consulted countless nutrition experts, but there was still no solution. Yun Ya grew thinner by the day, while her belly grew bigger. Zhuang Xiyue was not the kind of mother-in-law who cared only for her grandson and not for her daughter-in-law. Moreover, she couldn’t afford to be; her son was trouble enough for her already. She truly loved Yun Ya like a daughter, seeing her struggle every day made her heart ache.

“Little one, be kind to your mom and eat a little less, save some for your mom.” Zhuang Xiyue would talk to Yun Ya’s belly whenever she had the chance, making Yun Ya laugh and cry at the same time.

“Mom, I’m fine. Didn’t every woman go through this phase? You were also this hardworking when you were pregnant with Brother Yan and Yan Ke. If you could do it, why can’t I?”

It’s worth mentioning that Yun Ya had started calling Zhuang Xiyue “mom.” She was now married to Yan Song, so calling her Aunt Zhuang was no longer appropriate. Having moved on from the shadow of Ji Lanyi, she had found peace; why let down those who loved her?

When Zhuang Xiyue heard Yun Ya call her mom, she was ecstatic, almost moved to tears. After that, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got better and better.

Zhuang Xiyue said, “Every woman’s body is different, and reactions vary. Besides, when I had them, it wasn’t hard at all; it was a very easy process, probably because of my good constitution; I’ve never been sick since I was young. But you’re different; you’re struggling so much with your first child, it breaks my heart. Once that brat is out, watch how I deal with him.” Although her words sounded harsh, her tone was dotingly excited.

Looking at Yun Ya’s protruding belly, she suspiciously said, “More than three months in, your belly is unusually big, could it be twins?”

Becoming more excited, she continued, “I heard twins have hereditary genes. Our family doesn’t have twin genes, but you and your brother, Yun Ya, are twins, so I bet this one’s twins.”

Twins, that likely meant she could have two grandsons or granddaughters, or one of each; this was truly exciting. She had to share this good news with Nanmo immediately.

Yun Ya smiled slightly: “Does mom prefer a boy or a girl?”

“I like both, haha, but granddaughters are better, as obedient and cute as Yun Ya. If it’s a grandson, hmph, he’ll probably be as troublesome as his dad.”

Yun Ya knew that although Zhuang Xiyue said she liked granddaughters, she actually wanted a grandson.

Zhuang Xiyue wasn’t a person who valued sons over daughters, but in a big family like the Yan Family, if the firstborn was a boy, he would be the eldest grandson. A woman wouldn’t face attacks within the family. Of course, with Zhuang Xiyue’s temper and status, no one would dare look down on Yun Ya for having a girl as her first child. Not to her face, but they would surely mock her behind her back.

One could see how Meng Shujing was secretly mocked by others for having three daughters consecutively and was rejected by her mother-in-law and husband, who then secretly kept a mistress outside.

It wasn’t that Yan Song would mess around outside like Elder Uncle Yan, but in such a big family, offspring, especially male heirs, were vitally important.

“I’ve arranged for a doctor to examine you at the hospital tomorrow, this way I can be at ease.”

Yun Ya hesitated for a moment and instinctively clenched her palm: “Mom, there’s no need, I’m fine.”

Zhuang Xiyue frowned: “How can this be? It concerns the health of both you and the child, we can’t be sloppy, you must go tomorrow.” Her stance was firm.

Yun Ya opened her mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed it back down.

In the evening, she discussed it with Zhang Huasheng, who said helplessly: “Do you think you can keep hiding it forever? I see your mother-in-law genuinely cares for you; she’ll find out sooner or later. It’s good for her to be mentally prepared.”

Yun Ya bit her lip: “Master, how confident are you?”

“Master will try his best.”

The next day, Yun Ya returned to the hospital accompanied by Yan Song and Zhuang Xiyue. This time the examination was very thorough. After the ultrasound, Yun Ya went to the lounge with Yan Song, while Zhuang Xiyue was called away by a female doctor.

Feeling uneasy, Yun Ya squeezed Yan Song’s hand slightly, and he patted her hand for comfort.

Half an hour later, Zhuang Xiyue returned with a troubled look.

She held the examination report.

Indeed, it was twins, but they also found other issues. Elevated progesterone and low HCG weren’t major problems, but the biggest issue was…

Zhuang Xiyue hesitated for a long time, ultimately saying with reluctance: “Yun Ya, why did you choose to keep this child, knowing you have a heart condition?”

This was sheer folly; she never knew Yun Ya had heart disease. If not for the doctor’s examination, she would still be in the dark.

Yun Ya’s face turned pale, wanting to speak, but Zhuang Xiyue beat her to it: “For the sake of your health, the doctor suggests terminating this pregnancy.” Zhuang Xiyue made this difficult decision.

But she had to make it.

She couldn’t sacrifice Yun Ya’s life just to have a grandchild.

Yun Ya’s frail body was wavering; Yan Song supported her shoulders and held her in his arms, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Seeing Yun Ya like this, Zhuang Xiyue knew she had anticipated the consequences, but not willing to face them. But could unwillingness change anything? She resolutely decided on Yun Ya’s behalf.

“I’ll arrange for the doctor to perform the surgery immediately; the child cannot be kept under any circumstances.”

“No.”

Yun Ya suddenly objected loudly, her tone resolute.

Zhuang Xiyue was shocked: “Are you courting death?”

She understood the pain of asking a mother to personally terminate her child, but no matter how painful it was, this decision had to be made. She would be the bad guy.

“I will never abandon them. Mom, please, let me keep them. I swear I will give birth to them safely.” Her tone was one of humble pleading.

Zhuang Xiyue had a moment of hesitation but quickly shook her head firmly: “They can’t be kept. Don’t you know you’re in constant danger? You’re so smart, why are you so stubborn about this? There will be other children in the future.”

God bless her, her heart was bleeding as well.

Yun Ya understood Zhuang Xiyue meant well, but she couldn’t accept this decision: “They’re my children, and I say they should be kept.”

Zhuang Xiyue saw that she couldn’t persuade Yun Ya, so she turned to yell at Yan Song: “Why are you just standing there, hurry and talk sense into your wife!”

Yan Song looked at Yun Ya; his eyes flickering with an indescribable light, his calm tone carried an irrefutable determination.

“I respect Yun Ya’s decision.”

Even if it means roaming the afterlife together, I will be with you.

Zhuang Xiyue was shocked: “She’s gone crazy, and so have you?”

Yan Song lifted Yun Ya by the waist, bypassing Zhuang Xiyue as he strode away: “If there’s nothing else, we’ll head home first.”

With those words, he left without looking back, leaving Zhuang Xiyue disoriented in the wind.

“Brother Yan, thank you.” Yun Ya murmured, her face buried against his chest.

Yan Song’s steps paused, his eyes dark as an abyss.

He was once the person most reluctant to keep this child, but now, he respected Yun Ya’s choice. He had no right to obliterate the birth of a life.

Especially when it involved two lives full of vitality.

If that day truly comes, Yun Ya, I will be with you…

Facing their stubborn determination, Zhuang Xiyue was at a loss. She truly pitied Yun Ya. Who knew this child could be so stubborn, willing to risk her life just to bring a child into the world? As a woman, she understood Yun Ya’s emotions. Wasn’t it because they were the crystallization of love with the person she cherished?

Faced with this, Zhuang Xiyue had no choice but to accept this fact reluctantly. She arranged for medical staff to stand by at all times while mobilizing all her resources to seek talent internationally.
