Give Me Your Hands and Marry Me

When A Miao stepped off the plane, she suddenly fainted. Shen Xinglan phoned Le Yi immediately and took her to the hospital for examination.

“Mom…” Yaya was cradled in Yu Sihan’s arms with tears in her eyes.

Shen Xinglan had no time to comfort her and just stared at A Miao, who was lying on the bed.

“Your mom is okay. She will wake up in no time.” Yu Sihan lightly touched her head.

Yaya reached out her fingers and said, “How long? Three seconds?”

“Oh… Yaya, maybe you can count to 10.”

So Yaya began to count and shouted it out. Maybe A Miao heard it unconsciously because when Yaya counted to 10, A Miao really woke up!

“Mom!” Yaya pounced on A Miao happily.

Shen Xinglan held her immediately. “Sweetie, let us listen to Le Yi first.”

There was a strange expression on Le Yi’s face. He looked at A Miao, and then turned to look at Shen Xinglan.

“What… what’s wrong?” A Miao was scared. She felt she was in good health. How could she faint suddenly without warning?

Shen Xinglan looked sullen and shot Le Yi a glare, holding A Miao’s hands. “What’s really going on?”

“You two really do not know?” Le Yi asked.

They both were taken aback and then glanced at each other.

Suddenly, an idea hit Shen Xinglan. “Is she…”

“A Miao is pregnant.”

Le Yi looked at them with a smile. “Just 20 days.” He asked A Miao curiously, “Don’t you feel anything?”

“No.” A Miao shook her head with her hands on her belly. When she went to Jingcheng City, she was not acclimatized and her menstruation was irregular. So she paid little attention to its late arrival.

The smile on Shen Xinglan’s face faded and he asked with furrowed eyebrows, “Why did she faint suddenly?”

“Many pregnant women may faint in the initial stage. It should be attributed to the air travel.” Le Yi took the test result from the nurse and looked at it. “Rest assured! All is well. Now you can go home and nourish the fetus without anxiety.”

Yu Sihan was left on the way. After they got home, Yaya carefully sat in A Miao’s arms.

“Mom…”

A Miao kissed her. “What’s wrong?”

“Are we going to have a little brother in our family?”

“Why is it a little brother and not a little sister?”

Yaya stared at A Miao’s belly. “Because I want a little brother, not a sister.”

Shen Xinglan appeared with a glass of milk in his hand. “Why don’t you want a little sister?”

“She will grab my dolls and skirts.” Yaya pouted. “And the little bear. I have only one!”

The little bear beside passed himself off as a toy and said with bright eyes, “I belong to Yaya. I belong to Yaya.”

A Miao felt that if she gave birth to a daughter, the following days might be troublesome. She wanted to have a talk with Yaya, but Shen Xinglan furtively shook his head.

“All right, Yaya. Let’s go take a bath.” Shen Xinglan picked her up. “Today, we can sleep together with Mom. But you need to sleep on my side, okay?”

Yaya happily nodded and said considerately, “I understand. I heard it on TV. Pregnant moms need special protection and you can’t touch ’em. Otherwise, she may have a miscarriage.”

“Okay, Yaya. From now on, you cannot pounce on or jump at your mom.”

“Can’t I kiss or hug Mom anymore?” Yaya looked sad and felt her mom was no longer her mom.

Shen Xinglan smiled and went upstairs. “Of course you can. Yaya is always the princess of Dad and Mom. Just remember to be careful.”

Seeing them going upstairs happily, A Miao touched her belly softly.

She had never expected to have a second baby so soon. Since the baby was coming, why not go with the flow? She also hoped it would a boy so that they could have an inheritor of their company and Yaya would have a brother who could protect her…

“Is she asleep?” After taking a bath, Shen Xinglan came out and saw A Miao patting Yaya. The kiddy was sleepy and already closed her eyes.

He put Yaya next to him. “She seems to have put on weight.”

“Yu Sihan must have given her too much sugar.” A Miao complained. “I saw her teeth just now.”

Shen Xinglan snorted. “That would be the last time. He can no longer take Yaya away.”

When the light was turned off, A Miao lay in his arms.

“Are you happy?”

“Yes.” Shen Xinglan put his hands on her belly. Although it was still flat, there was a baby inside.

When they were in Jingcheng City, he did not use any method of contraception because he wanted A Miao to have a baby. This baby came just in time. If it had come earlier, they might not have come back at that time.

“I hope it’s a boy,” A Miao closed her eyes and said.

Shen Xinglan lowered his head and kissed her. “That’s okay. If it is a daughter, we can continue until we have a son.”

“No.” The voice of A Miao became lower and lower.

“Go to sleep.” Shen Xinglan hugged her tightly. He had a feeling that it had to be a boy.

The next morning, Ling Lang and Chu Bai came over.

“Sister!” Chu Bai had not seen Yaya in a long time, so he went over very joyfully.

Yaya told him seriously, “Chu Bai, my mom is heavy with my little brother. From now on, you should treat him as well as me.”

“What?” Chu Bai was in a daze. “Where is your brother?”

Ling Lang looked at A Miao. They had not met in over a year.

“I am back!”

“Welcome back!”

They looked at each other with smiles, and then hugged.

“I did not expect that you would give us such a big surprise when coming back.” Ling Lang sat down with her. “So, how are you doing? Do you vomit during pregnancy?”

When A Miao was pregnant with Yaya, she vomited violently.

“No, I feel nothing.” A Miao touched her belly. “Maybe it is still too soon.”

After being told by Yaya, Chu Bai knew that A Miao was heavy with a little brother.

“Why doesn’t my mother have one?” He felt that everything just seemed to cave in on top of him.

He thought, “Yaya has a brother already, but I have nothing!!”

“Are you going to have another baby?” A Miao asked, “It is too lonely having only one child.”

Ling Lang threw her stupid son an angry glance to warn him, and then shook her head. “No, I’m not. However, Le Yi…”

He kept up a steady stream of chatter since he came home last night. He said that A Miao was going to have a second baby and they could not lag behind.

“He must want to have another baby.” A Miao said, “When we grow old and nature takes its course, an only child would be too lonely and pathetic.”

“I will consider it.” Ling Lang thought for a while.

A Miao suddenly became excited. “You can consider it now. Hurry, hurry. So we can give birth to our babies together.”

“I want a brother now.” Chu Bai ran up to Ling Lang and stared at her eagerly. “Mom, could you have a baby?”

Ling Lang pushed his head away. “Go away.”

Simple, but rude.

“It is your style.” A Miao smiled and pulled Chu Bai into her arms. Yaya suddenly yelled out.

“No!”

The little lady pulled Chu Bai aside desperately. “Mom, you can’t hug him. The little brother might be hurt.”

A Miao had to release Chu Bai, who asked Yaya pitifully, “If my mom doesn’t want to have a baby, can you lend your brother to me?”

.

Yaya shook her head. “No!”

“Please! Please!” Chu Bai was after Yaya.

A Miao looked at these two kids in amusement. Ling Lang thought her stupid son resembled Le Yi.

“Wei Meng and Ding V will come here after a few days, hearing the news that you have come back.” Ling Lang said after thinking for a while, “It seems that they know some secrets about the vermin.”

“Can they help Yaya get rid of the vermin?” A Miao lowered her voice and asked excitedly.

Ling Lang comforted her. “Don’t worry. I’m not sure. We can’t figure it out until they come back.”

However, before they came back, A Miao fainted two days later.

“What happened?” Shen Xinglan was in the company at that time. It was Ling Lang who took A Miao to the hospital.

Le Yi looked serious and said, “The doctor is still checking.”

“Where is Yaya?” Shen Xinglan did not see his daughter.

“Yu Sihan came to your house just at the right moment, so I asked him to look after Yaya and Chu Bai.” Ling Lang looked at A Miao, who was lying on the apparatus. “When we were talking, she stood up to bring some fruit over, and then she passed out.”

Shen Xinglan looked sullen as he said, “Didn’t the last examination show that she was okay?”

“Yes…” Le Yi rubbed his forehead. “There is nothing wrong with her body.”

After a while, a doctor came out and asked Le Yi to go in.

“You can go back to the ward with A Miao first.” Le Yi told the nurse to take A Miao out.

When Le Yi returned to the ward, A Miao was already awake.

“Is the baby okay?” A Miao asked nervously.

“Is A Miao all right?” Shen Xinglan asked about her first.

Le Yi shook his head, and then nodded.

“Just say it!” Ling Lang shot him a glare.

“The baby is all right, but A Miao has some physical problems.” When Le Yi started to talk, Shen Xinglan became sullen immediately.

A Miao caught hold of him and said, “Listen to Le Yi first.”

“Don’t hurry. The result is very strange. When A Miao just came here, her brainwaves were abnormal. However, they become normal after 10 minutes.”

Shen Xinglan’s expression was tense. “What do you mean?”

“I mean it is a kind of stress reaction.” Le Yi took off his glasses. “I wonder if the vermin in A Miao’s body has some influence on her cranial nerve.”

“It was all right before. But she is pregnant now, so the burden on her body has increased…”

A Miao cut in. “You mean I will often faint before I give birth to my baby, just like today?”

“According to my judgment, yes.”

“What about the baby? Does it affect the baby?” A Miao was concerned about her child.

Le Yi immediately said, “It will not affect the baby, but you will be influenced.”

Her nerves were constricted because of the pregnancy, so A Miao might faint from time to time. This unpredictable illness was really troublesome.

“She needs someone to look after her.” Ling Lang realized it immediately. “And she can’t go out very often.”

Shen Xinglan hugged A Miao tightly and his face darkened.

“I’m fine!” A Miao comforted him.

“How long will it last? Will it happen after giving birth to the baby?” Shen Xinglan asked.

Le Yi shook his head and said, “It will last during the pregnancy, but I think A Miao will be fine after the child is born.” He looked at A Miao. “Since you were all right before.”

Shen Xinglan thought, “That doesn’t mean she will be okay in the future…” He was furious and wanted to kill Yu Sihan.
