Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Fetal Movement_1

"What kind of noble lady do you think I am? Master, you just love to belittle me. In the Imperial Capital, who doesn’t know that Li Wuyu, the daughter of Prime Minister Li, doesn’t have the slightest appearance of a young lady?"

This was not self-mockery from Li Wuyu, but the plain truth. She had never had the demeanor of a woman and was accustomed to what people said about her; it didn’t bother her.

An Jing joked, "Otherwise, pretend to be a noble lady for a while, maybe Youbao would take a fancy to you then?"

Li Wuyu immediately shook her head, "Impossible, that would not be me anymore. I am who I am, and I don’t want to become someone else just for him. If he really can’t come to like me as I am, then I won’t force it."

Losing oneself for someone else? An Jing herself also couldn’t do it no matter what.

Now that Li Wuyu, a person from ancient times, had this mindset, An Jing immediately praised her, "Worthy of being my disciple."

Surprised, Li Wuyu asked, "Master, don’t you think I’m quite the odd one?" If it weren’t for the fact that she was the daughter of the Prime Minister, nobody in the Imperial Capital would willingly associate with her.

Instead of answering, An Jing retorted with a question, "Do you think I am odd?"

Li Wuyu laughed immediately, a realization dawning on her, "No wonder we became master and disciple."

Then Li Wuyu continued, "Master, you really are different from the others, like the Crown Princess Consort, the Princesses, and others—they always urge me to learn needlework and to adopt the demeanor of a lady... But you never talk to me that way, even if I act without proper respect, it doesn’t bother you."

An Jing was not going to tell Li Wuyu that she actually wasn’t from this place. She only said, "Perhaps it’s because I’m from a farmer’s family, not so particular about these things."

No sooner had she finished speaking than An Jing felt the fetal movement and immediately called out joyfully, "Changyi, the baby is moving again!"

Xiao Changyi was already next to An Jing, and upon hearing her words, he immediately bent down to look.

Because her clothing obscured the view, Xiao Changyi couldn’t see where on An Jing’s belly the movement had occurred, but An Jing pointed to the spot, guiding Xiao Changyi’s hand to feel it.

An Jing was nearly seven months pregnant and had felt faint signs of the fetal movement as early as two months ago. Although she had felt it many times since, Xiao Changyi still found it incredibly miraculous.

Inside there, was his and her child.

And at this moment, his and her child was moving.

The subtle sensation of movement passed through the fabric into Xiao Changyi’s palm. Even though he initially felt the children had come a bit early, now, feeling the child stir, he was filled with a fatherly joy.

Li Wuyu, seeing Xiao Changyi touch, also wanted to feel it—she had never touched a pregnant belly during fetal movement before. But just as she extended her hand towards An Jing, Xiao Changyi gave her such a deadly cold look that she immediately withdrew her hand, her heart pounding with fright.

"Changyi, don’t be like that," An Jing consoled with a mix of amusement and sweetness. "Wuyu just wanted to feel it as well."

Xiao Changyi was unyielding, "No."

Li Wuyu immediately gave An Jing a look of deep grievance. It would have been fine if she wasn’t allowed to touch, but why scare her like that? She had nearly been scared to death, that look was truly terrifying!

But all An Jing could offer Li Wuyu was a helpless expression. There were things she could intercede for, but this, truly, was not one of them.

Her husband feared that she might be touched and harm come to her.

After all, her husband hadn’t dared to touch her at the beginning; although he had become bold enough to touch now, he merely placed his hand lightly on top, hardly what you would call touching.
