Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 577 - 299: Illness

"Mother, I understand!" Shi Fengming responded somewhat displeased. Argue and quibble with her? Make her angry? What a joke! Is he that kind of person? He could not wait to pamper her to the core, could not wait to carve out his heart to offer to her; how could he bear to upset her!

Zhou Jingyi also hurriedly smiled and agreed, while being carefully supported by her husband as she left, her heart secretly sighed with emotion. This was the difference! With the little ancestor in her belly, it was as if she owned the entire world; she could strut around the estate and no one would dare say "no."

"Jingyi, you are truly wonderful. To be carrying a son, I’m going to be a father!" Shi Fengming suddenly felt his entire heart softening, the excitement and joy inside him finding no outlet to release; his smile simply couldn’t be suppressed.

Zhou Jingyi’s hand gently rested on her flat belly, and she also beamed with happiness, saying, "I really didn’t expect it, there’s already a baby here! My dear husband, I can hardly imagine such a happy day! Husband, you are so good to me!"

With a child, her life was now complete, without any regrets.

"I will treat you even better in the future, let’s have seven or eight of them!" Shi Fengming said laughing, then leaned in to kiss her cheek forcefully.

Zhou Jingyi felt both sweet and amused, "Then until when I shall keep giving birth? Do nothing but bear children for you!"

Shi Fengming thought for a moment and laughed, "That’s true, then there would be no time to accompany me, right? Let’s just have two or three!"

"Mhm!" Zhou Jingyi smiled sweetly, "Having both sons and daughters, that would be perfect!"

"With my wife so promising, that will certainly happen!" Shi Fengming said with a laugh, two parts proud, and remarked, "Heh, who would have thought, one day I’d surpass big brother in something! I will be a father before him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingyi let out a soft sigh and softly said, "Sister-in-law is quite worried about this matter, you must absolutely not say such things in front of big brother! Big brother and sister-in-law have it tough, too!"

Lately, Zhou Jingyi had been visiting Sang Wan and also became aware of some things about Gu Fangzi. If Sang Wan were pregnant, her words could be more forceful, but unfortunately, she had been in the door for so long and it still hadn’t happened. Mrs. Wang wanted Shi Fengju to take Gu Fangzi as a legitimate wife; she had no grounds to object, any more words and she’d be seen as a jealous wife.

Seeing Zhou Jingyi’s furrowed brows and the worry in her voice, Shi Fengming quickly laughed and said, "I was just saying it offhand, how dare I boast in front of big brother? He is extremely petty, he would take revenge on me! Who knows how he might treat me next! You, just take good care of yourself, don’t worry about big brother and sister-in-law. Growing up, the only thing big brother never wanted to do yet ended up doing was marrying sister-in-law. He was unwilling, and the paternal aunt had no way to force him! Sister-in-law may look gentle, but she has her own mind. Don’t worry about them!"

Zhou Jingyi listened, smiled, and felt a warmth in her heart as she nodded.

While the two shared tender moments, after everyone else had dispersed, Mrs. Wang’s face turned dark in an instant, and without waiting for Shi Fengju and Sang Wan to say anything, she waved her hand, commanding the two of them to leave.

Sang Wan also felt terrible inside, but such things could not be forced. Wanting to explain felt impossible, so she chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and obediently retreated with Shi Fengju.

Mrs. Wang, becoming even more annoyed upon seeing this, grumbled and complained a few words with Mrs. Jiang, too angry to sleep all night.

A couple of days after the Double Ninth Festival, Shi Fengju wished to take Sang Wan on a trip, but just at this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly fell ill. She had caught a chill with evil spirits invading internally, combined with a heart filled with pent-up frustrations, which flared up and left her languishing in bed, too lethargic to move with a drawn face and endless coughing. The bedroom was filled with the thick scent of medicinal soup.

Under such circumstances, Sang Wan naturally could not go out and had to stay to attend to the medicinal soup. Shi Fengju also wanted to stay, but Mrs. Wang insisted that having Sang Wan alone was enough, and he should not delay the Shi family’s business over trivial matters. With plenty of people in the estate to take care, and good doctors and medicinal materials available, there was no need for him to worry.

When Shi Fengju tried to decline further, Mrs. Wang’s expression changed, and with a cold and indifferent hum, she said, "What? Is it not my health you are worried about, but you fear I will mistreat your wife? Rest assured! After all, she is the legitimate daughter-in-law welcomed by the Shi family with a grand sedan chair, how could I mistreat her!"
