Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Is the Little One Here Yet?

Often, Zhu Qianying struggled to understand Eldest Young Master Yan’s thoughts.

Take the matter of children, for instance, when they first reconciled, he didn’t take any precautions and openly showed his burning desire for more children, perhaps even a few more.

However, at some point, he began to use contraceptives. At first, she had difficulty accepting this, not the physical barrier as such, but the fact that he didn’t actually want more children.

With time, as her feelings for him deepened, she gradually came to terms with it.

Having their baby boy was their greatest fortune. The presence or absence of more children ceased to matter. They could lead a happy life as a family of three.

Thus, after she had tacitly accepted his decision not to have more children, his sudden reference to it brought her more irritation than shyness.

Caught off guard by her questioning, Young Master Yan paused, reflected, and realized he had indeed been too subjective.

Initially, he didn’t want her to suffer. He thought it was enough to have one child and there was no need for her to endure the pains of childbirth again.

However, since Bai Xiaolu’s departure, their child had been in low spirits for quite some time and still hadn’t gotten over Xiaolu’s departure.

He then started to reconsider - was their child really lonely being the only one?

With this assumption, his firm belief that one child was enough began to waver.

When their child got into trouble, he felt an even stronger need for more children in the house.

For example, if their child had a brother or sister now, maybe his wounds would heal more easily.

Young Master Yan wrapped his arms around Zhu Qianying’s waist, buried his head in her chest, rubbed his face against her for a bit before raising his head to look at her.

"Ying’er, let’s have one or two more children, so the baby boy won’t be so lonely."

Zhu Qianying neither agreed nor disagreed, simply looking at him silently.

Feeling slightly uneasy under her gaze, Young Master Yan was aware he had changed his mind. Previously, he had been against having more children, but now, he was the one proposing it.

"Of course...only if you agree...," he said cautiously.

Some might argue that women have no right to refuse when it comes to having children.

But that’s a big misconception.

The ultimate decision on childbirth actually lies with the woman.

If we trace back to before their marriage, Zhu Qianying was indifferent about children, neither liking nor disliking them.

But after having their baby boy, her maternal instincts were massively ignited. Originally, she had no intention to remarry and hence, did not think about having more children.

However, after reuniting with Young Master Yan, she was very keen for a new life to arrive.

Only, she did not expect that he did not actually like the idea.

By the time she finally accepted his desire for just one child, he suddenly changed his mind, wanting one or two more children.

What caused him to rethink? Their child’s recent issues? Or something else?

Unable to discern his thoughts, Zhu Qianying decided to stop speculating and ask directly. "I remember that you’ve been very careful about contraception before because you didn’t want more children, right?"

She had asked Young Master Yan about this once. At that time, he had dodged her question with an ambiguous answer.

"Can you tell me why?"

Left with no other option, all Young Master Yan could do was hold her tighter.

"Ji Yu told me that childbirth for a woman is like going through the gates of hell and back. You must have suffered a lot when you had our baby, didn’t you?"

Zhu Qianying stayed silent, waiting for him to continue.

"I didn’t want you to go through such hardship, and that’s why I’ve been very cautious."

If it were any other man saying this, Zhu Qianying might have thought he was making excuses. But his black, deep eyes expressed sincere love and affection.

She couldn’t avoid responding.

"If I told you that the process of conceiving and giving birth to our baby was not hard and that I did not suffer at all, I would definitely be lying. But the struggle is worth it when you can bring a baby into this world. You’re not a woman, so you will never understand the happiness that comes with carrying a child!", she said.

Many details of the pregnancy had faded from Zhu Qianying’s memory. However, the uncontainable joy and happiness that accompanied her baby’s growth within her womb were still clear in her mind.

Young Master Yan was touched by Zhu Qianying’s candidness.

"Baby, thank you! For me, you and our baby boy are the greatest gifts from heaven. Besides fearing for your suffering, I genuinely felt it was enough to have you two. However, with everything that’s happened lately, I find it difficult to stay firm. Isn’t our baby boy too lonely in this house?"

Zhu Qianying now had an inkling about the reason behind his change of mind, but she was not entirely sure, and so she asked him.

"Is it about Bai Xiaolu’s departure? Or is it because of what recently happened?"

Young Master Yan openly admitted, "Yes, it’s both!"

"Honestly, I hadn’t expected that Bai Xiaolu’s leaving would affect our baby boy to such a degree. Now, I believe that having more children in the family can help heal his emotional trauma easier."

Of course, these were merely Young Master Yan’s optimistic presumptions, scientific proof wasn’t necessary.

The couple shared a passionate night after candidly expressing their thoughts.

In the throes of their passion, Young Master Yan suddenly recalled something. Burying his head in her neck and slightly nibbling on her earlobe, he breathlessly asked with a hoarse voice

"Baby, before this, I neglected to take precautions... Could it be..."

Zhu Qianying, immersed in pleasure, paused for a moment before answering intermittently.

"No...steps were taken...safe period..."

"What about now?" Young Master Yan whispered hoarsely while biting her soft earlobe.

Staring into his eyes with a dreamy gaze, Zhu Qianying hugged his sturdy torso with a certain rhythm to keep up with him.

"Ovulation period..." she replied, panting heavily.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Yan involuntarily became more ardent...

After another round of exhausting intimacy, Young Master Yan carried her into the bathroom. Zhu Qianying, tired out, leaned against him and let him help her.

"Baby, do you think our little one is here yet?"

Zhu Qianying, too tired to open her eyes, let out a vague "Hmm!"
