Chapter 467 Daily Life of Raising a Child (3)

After the fourth time they had sex, it was already the end of September.

Wen Jiayue is five months pregnant, and her belly is growing bigger every day.

Nothing much in the manor bothered her, so Wen Jiayue felt carefree and her figure became a little plumper, with a rosier complexion than usual.

One evening, a servant from the General's Mansion came to report that Shen Funian had given birth to a daughter, named Xiao Zhisui, and that both mother and daughter were safe and sound.

Wen Jiayue and Shen Fuhan were having a meal when they heard this, so they stopped eating and hurriedly took Zhaozhao to the General's Mansion.

Entering the already cleaned bedroom, Wen Jiayue held her breath, afraid of disturbing Shen Funian's peaceful sleep.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the inner room, Shen Funian was not resting, but instead was energetically playing with the child.

Xiao Suye and Shen Chengyao sat and squatted, looking on with curiosity.

Wen Jiayue was stunned and asked, "Niannian, when were you born?"

"Big brother and sister-in-law are here," Shen Funian's voice was a little weak, but her eyes were bright. "She's been in labor for half an hour, what's wrong?"

Xiao Suye pulled his son up to make room for her.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down."

"Why aren't you resting?" Wen Jiayue sat carefully on the edge of the bed. "Aren't you tired?"

"This delivery went smoothly, I didn't suffer much, and..."

Shen Funian pulled the swaddling clothes down a bit, revealing Sui Sui's entire face: "Sui Sui is so cute, I just want to stay with her."

Shen Chengyao proudly declared, "This is my sister!"

Zhao Zhao asked with a puzzled look, "Where is Zhao Zhao?"

Isn't she Yao'er's sister?

Shen Chengyao quickly brought water: "Zhaozhao is the older sister, and Suisui is the younger sister."

Zhao Zhao was finally satisfied. She leaned over to look at Sui Sui and said with a smile, "Sleepy little sister!"

Wen Jiayue was somewhat helpless. She had been teaching Zhaozhao all the way in the carriage, but Zhaozhao still couldn't say "Suisui" and could only say "Shuisui".

She explained to Shen Funian, and she almost burst out laughing, but quickly held it back, afraid that her lower body would hurt.

After chatting for a while, Shen Funian fell asleep, clearly exhausted.

The group left quietly.

Xiao Suye handed Sui Sui over to the wet nurse to take care of and ordered a meal to be prepared.

Seeing his remarkably calm and composed demeanor, Wen Jiayue couldn't help but take a second look at him.

My brother-in-law is acting way too composed.

Shen Fuhan suddenly stepped forward and blocked Xiao Suye's face.

Wen Jiayue didn't need to look at his expression to know he was jealous, so she secretly glared at him.

He already knows she likes him, so why is he still acting like this?

On the carriage back to the manor, Wen Jiayue had just sat down when Shen Fuhan asked, "Why are you looking at Xiao Suye?"

Wen Jiayue: "..."

It's an improvement over before; instead of keeping it to myself and making wild guesses, I've asked the questions out loud.

She explained helplessly, "I was just curious because my brother-in-law seemed unusually calm."

"Composed?" Shen Fuhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Didn't you see his eyes were red?"

Wen Jiayue glared at him: "It's all your fault. I wasn't even looking carefully when you blocked my way."

Zhao Zhao smiled and said, "Daddy's playing hide-and-seek!"

Shen Fuhan covered his daughter's ears and coughed lightly: "It's my fault."

Wen Jiayue snorted, turned her head away, and decided not to pay him any more attention.

Shen Fuhan released Zhaozhao and hugged her from behind.

Wen Jiayue was startled and quickly said, "Zhaozhao is still here."

"What does it matter?" Shen Fuhan even lightly kissed her earlobe. "When we are a loving couple, Zhaozhao will be happy and feel more secure."

A blush spread from the tips of her ears to her cheeks. Wen Jiayue didn't hear what he was saying at all. She hurriedly pushed him away and looked at Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao looked at her with curiosity, touched her own ears with her little hands, and then stood up to touch her mother's ears.

Her little brows immediately furrowed.

"Mother is sick and needs to drink bitter medicine."

Not long ago, Zhao Zhao had a fever and drank bitter medicine for two days, and she remembered it.

Wen Jiayue glared at Shen Fuhan, demanding that he and his daughter explain themselves.

Shen Fuhan lifted Zhaozhao onto his lap and said earnestly, "Mother is shy because Father kissed her."

Wen Jiayue: "..."

It's better not to explain at all.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhao said firmly, "Zhao Zhao's dear mother, mother did not do that."

"Because Father is a man, and there is a difference between men and women."

Shen Fuhan had a sudden inspiration and continued, "If a man kisses a woman, it will make her sick. Besides your mother, Zhao Zhao can't let anyone else kiss you. Father can't, and neither can Brother Cui... Xiaoyu, understand?"

Zhao Zhao was somewhat afraid of bitter medicine, but upon hearing this, she nodded obediently.

She remembered that only her mother could kiss her.

Wen Jiayue pinched Shen Fuhan. What was he teaching Zhaozhao?

Shen Fuhan said in a low voice, "I'm doing this for Zhaozhao's own good."

Wen Jiayue sighed helplessly, but Zhao Zhao was over two years old and it was indeed not appropriate for her to be too close to others.

On their eighth time having sex, Wen Jiayue was already six months pregnant. Without her even mentioning it, Shen Fuhan began to restrain himself.

However, if she gets really pent up, he'll let her use her hands.

Wen Jiayue was already very experienced in this kind of thing, and, seeing him lose control, it was quite amusing.

The Spring Festival is just around the corner.

On New Year's Eve, Xiao Suye and Shen Funian brought their two children to the Marquis's residence for a reunion dinner.

Shen Funian watched the four children running around—two of whom were Shen Fuyou and Xie Yan—who seemed like they hadn't grown up, playing with Yao'er and Zhao Zhao.

She sighed, "The General's Mansion is too deserted. It's just the four of us. It's better to stay with you."

Wen Jiayue smiled and said, "You might as well just stay at the Marquis's residence. That way you won't have to come over every few days."

Shen Funian smiled and said, "That's great! I'll have all the servants and maids in the manor come over, then I won't have to spend money to support them."

Wen Jiayue glared at her, and the baby in her belly seemed to be protesting as well, giving a light kick.

She showed her her belly: "Mumu said he wouldn't agree."

Shen Funian found it strange: "When was the name chosen?"

Wen Jiayue glanced at Shen Fuhan, who was drinking with Xiao Suye, and said directly, "Your older brother had already chosen a wife long ago, before Zhaozhao was even born."

"The name sounds nice, but..."

Shen Funian realized something was amiss and murmured, "Zhaozhao? Mumu?"

In a flash, she put the two names together and exclaimed in surprise, "It's Chaochao Mumu!"

Wen Jiayue nodded, her face slightly flushed.

"I never would have guessed," Shen Funian said, looking at Shen Fuhan in surprise. "My older brother actually has such a tender side?"

Wen Jiayue muttered softly, "There are so many things you can't see."

If it weren't for mutual affection, who would know that the seemingly aloof and ascetic Lord Shen was actually this kind of person at heart?
