Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

”I have to work. If I’m pregnant and just sit or lie around all the time, it will be difficult to give birth later.” Xia Qingqian thought about the fact that she’s carrying triplets, so it’s even more important to move around and stay active, because when the moment really comes, it’s going to be painful for her.

”Really?” Beitang Huan was a bit skeptical.

”Yes, it’s true. When you have a baby, you’ll know everything.” Xia Qingqian gently nodded.

”How do you know so much? I don’t want to have kids! That’s too much suffering! I’ve heard that women become worn out after having children! I don’t want to make such a big sacrifice!” Beitang Huan shook her head as if having children was a really painful thing.

”That’s because you haven’t met someone you truly love. When you do meet a man you love with all your heart, you’ll want to have children with him. It’s the most direct way to show your love for him.” Xia Qingqian said, placing her hand on her round belly, her lips curled into a gentle smile.

Beitang Huan clicked her tongue twice and said, ”Qian Qian, you really do love my Brother Yao! Otherwise, why would you have his babies, and triplets at that!”

Xia Qingqian pressed her lips and chuckled lightly, ”Huan, why do you always like teasing me? Back then, Young Master Yao even doubted whether the child in my belly was his. I insisted on having the child because I wanted it. The first child left before I had the chance, and I’m really grateful to heaven for giving me another chance.” She turned seriously to Beitang Huan and said, ”No matter what anyone says, I won’t let anyone harm the child in my belly. I want to give birth to it. It’s fate between me and the child, and I must protect it.”

”When did you see me teasing you?” Beitang Huan reached out to hold Xia Qingqian’s slightly warm hand, ”Qian Qian, your hands have become so fleshy and warm, they look like something you’d want to take a bite of.”

”Oh, really?” Xia Qingqian followed Beitang Huan’s gaze to her hand, ”I’ve gained weight, looking ugly.”

”Qian Qian, no matter when, I always think you’re wonderful!” Beitang Huan spoke without context, her eyes misty, ”Qian Qian, I’ll help you too, to hold onto the fate between you and your children, and won’t let anyone harm you!”

Xia Qingqian nodded, ”Huan, I know you mean what you say, with you as such a caring aunt to them, the children will surely be happy! I thank you on their behalf first.”

”Family members don’t speak of two different things. I know you’ve sacrificed a lot for Brother Yao; if anyone should be saying thanks, it should be us to you, understood?” Xia Qingqian’s graciousness always made Beitang Huan feel guilty, ”Qian Qian, you sit first, I’ll go wake up Sister Huan and get you something to eat for supper.”

”No need, I just had eggs and bird’s nest, I’m already full!” Xia Qingqian quickly stopped Beitang Huan, ”Sister Huan has to work during the day, let her rest.”

”Now in the whole castle, you’re the biggest! No one should be hungry except you!” Beitang Huan was already standing up, ”Besides, even if you’re not hungry, the children in your belly need food too. Do you think what you ate is enough for three kids?”

After waking up Sister Huan, Beitang Huan instructed her to make something suitable for Xia Qingqian to eat, then returned to Xia Qingqian’s side and sighed, ”You should certainly eat more, don’t be fussy, eat more so the children can absorb plenty of nutrients.”

”Alright then, thank you.” Xia Qingqian shook her head and smiled awkwardly.
