“You guys decide then. Don’t bother Yiling and I anymore,” Zhai Yunsheng replied somewhat impatiently.
Zhai Yunsheng did not want to think about this matter anymore. He didn’t want the three of them to disturb his alone time with Jian Yiling.
“You brat. Don’t mess around with Yiling! Be careful around my precious great-granddaughter!” Master Zhai yelled at Zhai Yunsheng.
This time, he learned to say great-granddaughter instead of great-grandchild. Otherwise, Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian would once again pick a bone with him.

The next day, Jian Yiling overslept and woke up at ten o’clock.
In the past, this was something that would not have happened to her.
However, after becoming pregnant, she became somewhat sleepy which made her sleep significantly more.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhai Yunsheng looking at her. Jian Yiling did not know when Zhai Yunsheng had woken up.
“Why don’t you get up if you’re awake?” Jian Yiling asked.
“I don’t want to disturb your sleep,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. “You’re also adorable when you’re sleeping. That’s why I wanted to watch you for a while.”
Embarrassing…
Zhai Yunsheng was speaking nonsense again…
When Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling’s flushed cheeks, he smiled gently. Even though she was about to become a mother, she still became shy so easily.
“What do you want to eat?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.
As of now, Jian Yiling would typically wake up and then eat. After eating, she would return to sleeping.
Therefore, the only thing she worried about every day was what to eat.
“I’m turning into a pig,” Jian Yiling muttered quietly.
Despite living so many years, this was the first time Jian Yiling experienced such a lifestyle.
She was still not used to it.
Zhai Yunsheng smiled as he pinched Jian Yiling’s cheeks: “It’s okay to be a piggy. I’ll fatten you up so I can devour you later.”
“It’s not good to be fat. It doesn’t look good,” Jian Yiling replied.
“Since when did you start caring about whether you look good or not?” Zhai Yunsheng asked curiously.
He didn’t expect his wife to care about her appearance.
“Yufan told me that if I don’t look good, you might like someone else.”
Ahh, as expected, such things were taught by Qin Yufan.
That woman kept telling his wife such strange things.
“Don’t listen to her. She has no experience in relationships. What can she possibly teach you?”
“But the Internet said so as well,” Jian Yiling replied. She also read posts on the Internet for love advice. “The Internet is full of nonsense. You shouldn’t take things you read on the Internet seriously.”
“So you don’t like my good looks?”
“I like it.”
“Then Yufan is not wrong.”
“But even if you don’t look good, I’ll still like you.”
“The Internet says not to trust the words of men. If you become ugly, their hearts will change. In addition, they said that one’s morals and values can change depending on how visually pleasing the other person is.”
Zhai Yunsheng took a look at the serious expression on Jian Yiling’s face before he started laughing.
What was she even thinking about in her spare time?
Morals and values change depending on how visually pleasing the other person is?
He gently knocked on Jian Yiling’s skull and said: “Don’t think about such strange things. If you really want to think about something, think about what you want to eat for breakfast. Our grandpa has already asked the chefs to prepare almost a hundred servings of breakfast.”
Nowadays, Master Zhai spent his entire time caring about his previous granddaughter-in-law. He had to ensure she ate nutritious and yummy food for every meal.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling got up in a hurry.
When she arrived downstairs, she saw dozens of plates on the long dining table.
When Master Zhai saw Jian Yiling, he happily said to her: “Yiling, did you get enough sleep last night? Are you still tired? If so, have some breakfast before you go and nap again.”
Master Zhai was really raising Jian Yiling like a piglet.
Then, he instructed his grandson to taste the dishes for Jian Yiling: “Go and taste the dishes. Pick something that Yiling will like to eat.”
Now that he had Yiling, his own grandson became a mere taste tester.

Zhai Yunsheng did as he was told and taste-tested the dishes for Jian Yiling. He did not mind doing this.
Anything too salty, spicy, sweet, or fishy could not be given to Jian Yiling to eat.
“Take a bite of this,” Zhai Yunsheng said as he picked up a small morsel and placed it on Jian Yiling’s plate.
He attempted to assure that Jian Yiling ate a bit of everything. He wanted her to have a balanced diet.
Jian Yichen was accompanying Jian Yiling today. He refused to be outdone by Zhai Yunsheng. Hence, he joined the taste testing group.
“Yiling, have a bite of this. It’s very delicious.”
After a while, Jian Yiling felt like she was doing absolutely nothing independently.
Even the empresses and concubines in the past probably did not live such a life.
“I can do it myself,” Jian Yiling protested in a small voice.
Even though she was pregnant, she could manage these things by herself. They were clearly underestimating her too much!
o(╯□╰)o
“Yiling, don’t say that. Pregnancy is a very energy-consuming task. Hence, you need to reduce unnecessary energy consumption,” Jian Yichen said with a solemn expression on his face.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling obediently nodded her head and accepted their good intentions.
After breakfast, Master Zhai asked his grandson to take Jian Yiling to an art exhibition.
Based on his research, Master Zhai realized that pregnant women had to go out from time to time. They couldn’t stay home every day as a certain amount of social activities was good for their physical and mental health.
Hence, Master Zhai looked into art exhibitions, musical concerts, and plays.
As there was no particularly good symphony performance currently in Beijing, Master Zhai contacted a famous symphony orchestra from abroad to come and perform in Beijing. He paid for all the costs and asked them to reserve two of the best seats.
This way, Yiling could go and watch the performance whenever she wanted.
Jian Yichen also expressed his approval: “You should definitely go to an art exhibition to look at beautiful things. This way, your future baby will also look beautiful.”
Then, Jian Yichen added: “Apparently, your child will grow up to look like who you look at the most when you’re pregnant. Yiling, you should look at me more. I’m very beautiful.”
Was Jian Yichen that shameless?
Upon hearing this, Master Zhai retorted: “Nonsense, this is Yiling and A Sheng’s child. Their child will definitely be incredibly good-looking. After all, his or her parents are incredibly good-looking. Besides, Yiling can look at A Sheng. Why does she need to look at you?”
“Master Zhai, as the saying goes, nephews generally look like their uncles,” Jian Yichen explained with a smile on his face.
“But you’re technically not even Yiling’s brother by blood,” Master Zhai ruthlessly replied.
When he heard this, Jian Yichen sniffled and hid behind Jian Yiling: “Yiling, I also want to be your brother by blood. I’m going to blame my mother for this.”
When Jian Yiling looked at Jian Yichen, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Sister Yichen was indeed shameless.
When Zhai Yunsheng saw the smile on Jian Yiling’s face, a smile also unconsciously appeared on his face.
Even though Jian Yichen was shameless, he was also quite funny.
Hence, it was good to have him staying by Jian Yiling’s side.
Accompanied by her family, Jian Yiling stayed home for the next few months of her pregnancy.
This was the most leisurely and comfortable period of time she ever experienced in her multiple lifetimes.
Was this what happiness felt like?
Jian Yiling cherished the present very much.
She also thanked fate for giving her a chance to start over again.
