CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 457: GOOD BODY

Looking at the extremely happy Gong Ruwen, Gong Ruini was really at a loss. Why was she so excited about this matter, while her big brother didn’t seem to think much of it?

The problem was, no matter how anxious Gong Ruini was, what could she do? She couldn’t just stand up and shake her big brother, asking him why he was acting this way, could she?

Watching as the little girl’s expressions kept changing, Zhao Xuran’s mood was just wonderful. It was so interesting, especially seeing how cute she looked having opinions but not daring to express them.

"Alright, no problem," Zhao Xuran also thought that if the family had another child, he’d really need to pay more attention. Although Ni Zi was well-behaved in many ways, there were times she acted a bit out of character.

To prevent the family from having more kids that would worry the adults, Zhao Xuran decided it would be better if he worked harder.

"I knew Xuran, you’re the best." Hearing Zhao Xuran agree without any difficulty, Gong Tao felt immensely relieved.

Sigh, Gong Ruini was really exasperated. Her dad was truly beyond stupid, and her big brother was an idiot too. Why didn’t they think about it? The Gong Family doesn’t lack a firstborn, so why must Zhao Xuran carry the burden?

This was such a good opportunity, Gong Ruini really thought it was a great chance for her big brother to get more training. But, well...

Forget it, since neither of the persons involved seems to be worried, why should she be anxious? "All this discussion is useless, what matters is whether Mom is pregnant."

Gong Ruini felt that Cai Meina getting pregnant at this time would be ideal, though she didn’t know when the birth would happen and whether it’d affect her school, but it probably wouldn’t be a major issue, just delay graduation by a year or so.

Right, they didn’t know if the wife was pregnant. Gong Tao didn’t bother thinking about the future when his son would stand up for his daughter; they had to wait for Zhan Jing to give the results.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Zhan Jing could tell right away if Cai Meina was pregnant, and hadn’t spoken earlier because Gong Tao was busy imagining how to educate the future child.

Zhan Jing found it amusing; when she was pregnant with twins, she had raised the topic of how they should be educated once they were older, but Gong Tao said she was overthinking. Look at him now, all nervous.

Just thinking about it amused Zhan Jing — the child isn’t even born yet, and he’s already thinking about so much. She wondered how they’d be educated after birth; she imagined it’d be quite strict.

Gong Tao had no idea that Zhan Jing was recalling his past foolishness, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t mind. It was just that the Zhan Banxia brothers were too smart, making Gong Tao quite envious.

Gong Tao knew that both the Gong Family and the Cai Family came from farmer ancestors, with no great inheritance, but he hoped his son would turn out well, after all, the eldest son and daughter were clever kids.

"How’s her health, should she get some supplements?" After his initial joy, Gong Tao became nervous again, thinking this child was conceived in November when the whole family was busy with preparations for the college entrance exam.

The family had been rising early and going to bed late, and even their food intake wasn’t great. Although they ate well, the mental exhaustion was too much, making Gong Tao really worried.

The reason why Ni Zi had been so weak since birth was not only due to poor postnatal nutrition but also because her mother didn’t eat well when carrying her.

Back then, having their daughter had been incredibly difficult, and as her father, he had also suffered quite a bit. He really didn’t want his child to suffer again.

While Gong Tao was worried sick about the unborn child, Gong Ruini was thinking that her dad was something else. Wasn’t it said that from October onwards, the family was rising earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the ghosts?

Of course, this was a bit of an exaggeration, but the parents definitely had adequate sleep, so how did they still have the energy for intimacy?

Gong Ruini really wanted to say her dad was amazing, but after thinking it over, she decided against it; she couldn’t say it. She was just a child, even older, she couldn’t broach this subject as it would be a direct blow to her dad.

Zhao Gang nearly spat out his drink when he heard that Cai Meina got pregnant during that time. He really hadn’t expected his friend to be so capable, knowing that he rarely had the time to think when lying in bed, let alone being intimate with his wife. He didn’t expect his friend to have that much energy.

The more Zhao Gang thought about it, the more impressive his friend seemed to him. If the kids weren’t around, he definitely would have praised his friend’s vigor.

Although he couldn’t say it aloud, the way he looked at his friend said it all.

Gong Tao didn’t notice this or if he did, he didn’t care, but Cai Meina noticed and she dreaded it the most. Sigh.

Oh well, sooner or later, once the baby is born, they’ll figure out the timing, no point dwelling on it now.

As for Zhao Gang’s amused glances, Cai Meina pretended not to notice. The baby was already on the way; why be so melodramatic?

Truth be told, Cai Meina and Gong Tao were truly a match; knowing there was no way to solve it now, they chose not to overthink it and decided to focus on maintaining good health.

Previously, Cai Meina had felt quite good, eating without throwing up, but after Gong Tao brought it up, she became anxious; could there be a problem?

Cai Meina didn’t think much of it; Gong Tao stopped worrying about the timing issue of his wife’s pregnancy, making Zhao Gang lose interest, so he stopped winking at Gong Tao.

Recalling her first pregnancy with Gong Ruini, where everything was difficult, Cai Meina wondered how she’d manage if this one turned out the same way.

Thinking of this, Cai Meina no longer cared about the joy of being pregnant again; she kept her eyes fixed on Zhan Jing.

Gong Ruini didn’t see why her mom should be worried. Although the space was generally insignificant, the water from there seemed exceptionally good.

Ever since Gong Ruini had been adding a drop or two of water to the family water tank daily, she felt her health was great, never catching any illnesses, which is why Cai Meina’s pregnancy had been so smooth this time.

While Gong Ruini felt confident there was no issue, Cai Meina, unaware, anxiously grabbed Zhan Jing and continuously questioned her.

"Don’t worry, everything’s fine. Although you were tired recently, your health is good." Zhan Jing assured Cai Meina that she was exceptionally robust, especially when it came to food and drink, there was nothing to worry about.

Hearing that his wife’s health was perfect, Gong Tao breathed a sigh of relief and felt immense gratitude that they hadn’t traveled to Beijing earlier; otherwise, the bumpy journey might have been too much for his wife’s health.
