Be in low spirits

When Ye Fan returned to Gu's house from the garrison, Aunt Liu came forward enthusiastically to take his coat and shouted, "Son-in-law, you have worked hard today."

Aunt Liu used to call him General Ye, but today she called him Uncle Ye, which made him very uncomfortable. He stopped at the door and asked, "Aunt Liu, what happened? Is Shen Zeqing coming back?"

Aunt Liu smiled but didn't reply. She shouted to the study on the second floor, "Miss, the son-in-law is back."

Gu Jinluo opened the door of the study, ran down from the second floor, hugged him and said, "I have good news to tell you today."

"What good news?"

She leaned over to his ear and said, "I'm pregnant."

"Really?" Ye Fan widened his eyes and confirmed with her again. When she nodded, he hugged her waist and turned around, saying, "I'm going to be a father!"

Aunt Liu, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped him and said, "Son-in-law, be careful. The young lady is not stable yet, so don't move."

Ye Fan put the man down and said, "Yes, yes, yes, have you checked it? What did the doctor say? Aunt Liu, call the doctor to check it again in front of me."

"Okay, we have to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow to find out. The important thing now is to think about marriage." She pulled him to sit at the dining table.

"Yes, yes, yes, for the marriage, everyone must know that this is my child, Ye Xingzhi. I have to propose marriage and write a letter to tell my mother. I will ask Adjutant Xiao to prepare the betrothal gifts." He stood up to make a phone call, but Gu Jinluo quickly asked him to sit down and eat, saying, "There is no rush. Eat first."

"Yes, yes, the baby must be hungry." When talking about pregnancy, Ye Fan's mouth never drooped.

Gu Jinluo ate a few bites and felt that she had no appetite again. She thought about it and said, "When are you free to accompany me to meet my parents?"

"Is it possible the day after tomorrow? Is it far? Or should we go the day before the wedding? If I go, should I bring something? I went to visit my parents-in-law after you were pregnant. Will they blame me? Oh, I should have gone earlier. How should I explain to them?" Ye Fan was very nervous. First, because she had a baby, and second, because she had to visit her parents-in-law even though she was pregnant before marriage. Although they were two graves, it was not right after all.

"Don't be nervous, just accompany me to see them." She tried to eat a few more bites.

"Are you not liking the food? Aunt Liu!" Ye Fan also felt that she had been in poor spirits and appetite in the past few days, so he thought of asking the chef to prepare some appetizers.

"Auntie Liu has told the chef that this is normal. You don't need to be so nervous." Gu Jinluo put down his chopsticks and could no longer eat.

After dinner, Ye Fan paced back and forth in the room nervously. Gu Jinluo had a headache watching him and said, "If you are really nervous, you don't have to accompany me."

"How can I do that? After all, this is my first time meeting my parents-in-law, how can I not be nervous? How do you think I'm going to explain to them that I'm pregnant before marriage?" He was in his pajamas and refused to lie down to sleep.

"Isn't it because of me that you got pregnant before marriage? What does it have to do with you? Lie down quickly, you're making me dizzy."

Ye Fan lay down awkwardly, touched her belly and said, "Baby, I'm your dad."

"Fool! It will be months before you can hear it."

"How about I go with you to the hospital tomorrow? Do you think it's a boy or a girl? Should we give it a name? I have to write to my mother."

"What do you think? Should we hold the wedding in Jinghua? Your mother and Yao'er are all in Jinghua, and your brother and sister-in-law are also here. And holding the wedding in Anjiang won't have a good effect on you."

Ye Fan pulled the person into his arms and said, "How about putting it in the newspaper first? You don't have to worry about the wedding, I'll take care of it. The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest and not to overwork yourself. Do you want to leave the business matters to Gu Lang first?"

"No, I'm not that squeamish. If the wedding is held in Jinghua, you will need to ask for leave, right? Will it be inconvenient?"

"To my wife, any time is convenient."

"There you go again, being so slick."

The next day, Ye Fan specially picked a time to go to the department store to buy a ring, and asked his adjutant to buy some paper money and other things.

After meeting Gu Jinluo's parents, Ye Fan took out the ring and knelt on one knee to propose.

When returning to Jinghua for the wedding, Gu Jinluo put on the wedding dress prepared by Yaoer.

When the baby was being born, Ye Fan was standing guard at the door of the room, extremely anxious. He wanted to go in but was kept blocked by the servants at the door. Aunt Liu was also anxiously waiting outside the screen in the room. Uncle Wu was sitting at the door, tapping the ground with his cane from time to time.

After the child was born, the midwife took a look at Gu Jinluo, and then she fell asleep due to exhaustion. Ye Fan heard the baby crying and hurried in. Seeing his wife sleeping, he thought something had happened, so he grabbed her hand and shouted, "Luoluo, what's wrong with you?"

The doctor told him that he was just tired from giving birth, so he was relieved and stayed by the bed. Aunt Liu held the baby in her arms and showed it to him, saying, "Son-in-law, give the baby a name."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" He hadn't had the chance to see the baby yet, and he just felt sorry for his wife who was so tired from giving birth.

"Son-in-law, he's a young master." Aunt Liu coaxed the child, but the child still cried loudly.

Ye Fan asked Aunt Liu to give the child to him. He held the child in front of Gu Jinluo and whispered, "Luoluo, do you want to see the child?"

Gu Jinluo opened his eyes and said weakly, "Give him a name."

The child stopped crying in Ye Fan's arms. He thought for a moment and said, "How is Ye Yunen?"

Gu Jinluo nodded and fell asleep again.

Aunt Liu arranged another room for her to recuperate after giving birth. Every time Ye Fan went in, Aunt Liu would always be on guard, fearing that this son-in-law would do something wrong. Ye Fan was so angry about being monitored, but she was helpless and could only pretend to amuse the child.

After finally finishing her confinement, she moved back to her original room. Aunt Liu pushed the crib in again and said, "Miss, the baby needs to be fed in the middle of the night. Do you want to let the wet nurse sleep next to you?"

Ye Fan felt that Aunt Liu was targeting him on purpose and wanted to get angry, but Gu Jinluo quickly stopped him and said to Aunt Liu, "Just let Yun En sleep with the nanny. Aunt Liu, you don't have to watch over her all the time. Xing Zhi and I have something to discuss."

"Miss, you just came out of confinement, you can't do anything reckless..."

"Auntie Liu, I know my limits." Gu Jinluo also felt that Auntie Liu was watching her too closely. Considering the time between her pregnancy and the confinement period after giving birth, the couple hadn't slept together for a long time.

Seeing Liu Ma leave the room, Ye Fan quickly climbed onto the bed, hugged her and said, "Madam, I can't sleep well without you by my side." As he spoke, he buried his head in the crook of her neck and smelled her scent.

"Then... can you sleep well tonight?" Gu Jinluo also wanted to have a good sleep and pick up the business matters that she had neglected during the confinement period after giving birth tomorrow.

"You've been holding it in for so long, don't you plan to hand in some homework?" How could Ye Fan let go of this opportunity so easily? It was rare that Aunt Liu was willing to let him go.

"Other people ask their husbands to do their homework, why do you ask your wife to do her homework?"

"Then let me show you how I have prepared for my studies!" Ye Fan felt like he had been waiting for a long time, and finally she said this. In the past year or so, he felt that it was more difficult than the two years when he lost his memory. Even though the person was right in front of him, he could only talk to her. If he touched her a little too much, Aunt Liu would appear behind him.

He was about to say something, but he looked up at the door and asked, "Auntie Liu, don't you have a spare key to this room?"

"The spare keys are all with me, how could Auntie Liu have them?" She thought it was funny. He had been a little nervous during the period of pregnancy and confinement.

"Actually, is there any reason why Aunt Liu doesn't let me touch you? Will it have any impact on your body? Or is it that your strength hasn't recovered yet?" He sat back on the bed, still a little worried.

"If you don't want to, then have a good sleep. Anyway, I have to go to the study to deal with those documents tomorrow." She wanted to sleep. She was finally out of confinement and had to think about serious matters. The shops in the southwest were closed, and the business in the southeast and south China had also been greatly reduced. If it really didn't work out, they would probably have to be closed. She could only guarantee the business in Jinghua and Anjiang.

"No, I'm just worried. I took Yun'en to see my parents two days ago. You should stop going there." He lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt, still a little worried about whether she had recovered.

"Well, husband, thank you." She also lay down and went to sleep.

"There's no need to say thank you between husband and wife." He held the person in his arms and kissed her. He was not as overbearing as before, but more gentle.

This made Gu Jinluo feel a little uncomfortable. When she touched his chest muscles, she felt that they didn't seem as strong as before.
