The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1768 - 1782: Sweet Burden (Part 4)

"Really?" Nothing felt as good as hearing Yu Zexiao say "you look nice." Jian Anning happily looked in the mirror, pouting after a long while with dissatisfaction, "But no matter how you look at it, I’ve gained quite a bit of weight. Shouldn’t I control it a bit?"

"You’re still pregnant, why would you want to lose weight?" Yu Zexiao frowned unhappily, "If you don’t eat a bit more, how can the baby be healthy? Don’t entertain those nonsensical thoughts, if it delays the baby’s development, it would be a disaster."

Jian Anning nodded immediately, agreeing that compared to her own weight gain, the baby’s health was definitely more important. She nodded without hesitation, "I know, the baby comes first. Losing weight... we’ll talk about that later."

Anyway, she’s not someone from the entertainment industry, and typically takes care of the baby in their own garden; even if she goes for a walk, it won’t be outside that area. Even if she gains a bit of weight, there won’t be reporters taking photos. As long as there are no reporters, she doesn’t care about being overweight — in a word, the baby comes first.

And when the Yu family parents heard she wanted to lose weight, they instantly got into an uproar: "What, lose weight? Where are you even fat? Why would you want to lose weight?"

"No, it’s not that." Jian Anning felt a bit embarrassed, "I just feel like I’m eating five meals a day now, with at least two bowls of rice each meal... at this rate, in the future I’ll..."

The group of parents all turned their gaze to Yu Zexiao at the side. Jian Anning was just fine before, but now that he’s back, she’s talking about losing weight.

Thus, under Yu Zexiao’s muddled encouragement, Jian Anning embarked on her "fattening up" journey. She continued to eat as much as before, without considering weight loss. Additionally, at the Yu family’s request, she drank all sorts of "nourishing soups" that were said to be good for the body, and soon her weight further increased.

Soon, she was six months into her pregnancy. On this day, she and Yu Zexiao, feeling both excited and a bit nervous, went to the hospital. It was time to do the malformation check — they were worried the doctor might tell them that there was a problem with the baby!

"Don’t worry, our child will be fine," Yu Zexiao was rather calm. In fact, during this time, he had also consulted Feng Linxue, who assured them that their child was completely normal, and she didn’t see any possibility of malformations. However, without a complete diagnosis, Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning were still a bit worried.

"Yes, I’m confident." Although she said so, Jian Anning almost stumbled out of carelessness. Yu Zexiao immediately stepped in to support her, and soon they reached the examination room in the hospital.

Since it was a private hospital, the service was excellent, and they didn’t need to wait at all. Jian Anning anxiously lay on the hospital bed, and the doctor quickly followed, testing up and down with the roller as before.

The room was very quiet, apart from the sound of the equipment, there were only the heavy breaths of Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao. Although they said they weren’t nervous, their hands were tightly clasped together, with sweat even seeping through their palms.

After a moment, the doctor finally spoke, "Congratulations, your baby is doing very well."

The two had just relaxed when the doctor adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "But..."

Their hearts jumped back up to their throats with just one word!
