BTTS 552




 Chapter 552. Wanting her old life


Lin Qing He never felt that she could get pregnant.

Even when the old fortune-telling man seemed to have some skill last year, Lin Qing He didn't take it to heart.

After all the ligation was done. The chance of getting pregnant again was very small, almost negligible.

However, she was pregnant.

It was the next morning when she pulled Zhou Qing Bai with her to check together. The length was very short. She probably got pregnant during the two or three days of the New Year.

Still, it was undeniable that she was pregnant.

When Lin Qing He saw the report, she was stunned despite being mentally prepared.

As for Zhou Qing Bai, who was next to her. The smile on his mouth never went down since she told him about getting health check when he brushed his teeth in the morning.

It was even worse now. He walked to a corner by himself and laughed there. Laughed alone there.

Lin Qing He looked at him laughing with no expression on her face. After the laugh, he came to support her.

Lin Qing He was like the Empress Dowager, getting supported out by Xiao Bai-zi. They got in the car and went home.

It was only when Lin Qing He was supported into the house by Zhou Qing Bai did she recovered. She stared at Zhou Qing Bai, "What to do now?"

"Give birth!" Zhou Qing Bai had only one answer.

What he dreamed of came true. From the first day of the new year to the third day of the new year, he had dreamed of a daughter continuously. It was white and round. Simply a little angel in the human world.

He had a hunch at that time and felt that she was coming. Look, she really came.

"If I birth it, what about my job?" Lin Qing He said.

She definitely can't do her job anymore. Of course, it was fine in the first half of this year. In the second half of the year, her pregnancy would be obvious.

Because of over-birthing, the job could not be kept. The school would definitely not keep her in accordance with the regulations.

She might be employed again in the future, but right now she should shelter from the limelight At this time, the family planning was still very strict.

"No rush. Once the weather gets warmer, let's go to live in Hai City." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

"Go to Hai City to give birth?" Lin Qing He looked at him in surprise.

"Can't? We bought properties here in the capital city. And not yet in Hai City. Wouldn't it be perfect to go there?" Zhou Qing Bai responded.

As for here, there was nothing to worry about. Their two sons were here. At most, the dumpling shop can be closed. Nothing was as important as his decade-or-so-desired daughter.

"Going unfamiliar place with no one we know." Lin Qing He rolled her eyes. Even go to Hai City to give birth? This was too exaggerated.

"Don't be afraid. I am here." Zhou Qing Bai assured.

Lin Qing He took a look at him. She felt that he was pumped up. Completely different from his normal tepid personally. He was currently calling the wind rain.

"Act normal and we can still birth the baby here. Our family can afford to pay the fine. We don't have to worry about not being able to get her a household registration." Lin Qing He said.

"No. We'll be captured." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

Lin Qing He sighed: "Look at you. You want to toss around rather than having good days."

In fact, if conditions permit, it was great to have more children. As long as it was educated well, it will be a tall young lad or slender lady after more than ten or so years. The whole family gathers together on New Year’s Day. How wonderful is that?

Lin Qing He understood the logic. She touched her stomach. She didn't feel anything at the moment. If she was really heartless, she could not have it.

In the near-future, she was going to be a grandmother and unexpectedly she could birth their youngest daughter.

"It'll be hard on you, Wife. Just this one. This is our destiny. You brought the daughter over. Even if you want to stop it, you can't." Zhou Qing Bai coaxed.

Lin Qing He didn't believe the old fortune-teller's words, while Zhou Qing Bai was convinced. After all his wife, a delicate woman from later generations, came and became his wife. Such bizarre event had happened. So how can it be impossible?

Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll. Zhou Qing Bai smiled and peeled oranges for her. Lin Qing He ate the oranges as she spoke, "I'm not mentally prepared yet."

She had always felt wouldn't get pregnant and now she suddenly was. She was truly caught off guard.

"No need to prepare. With our family's current conditions, you just need to birth. Leave the rest to me." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

How many years had he prepared for being a full-time dad? It didn't matter if his wife wasn't mentally prepared. As long as he was, it was enough!

Lin Qing He snacked on an orange and an apple. Then she planned to go to bed.

"Wife, do you want to quit your job this year?" Zhou Qing Bai whispered.

"Off to one side!" Lin Qing He disgruntledly responded.

Quit work? That was impossible. She still wanted to go to work!

Lin Qing He started to sleep. Maybe because of her pregnancy, she fell asleep soon.

Zhou Qing Bai watched for a while. Then he turned around and went to his parents' to report the good news.

Father Zhou, Mother Zhou, and Zhou Xiao Mei were there. Su Da Lin was at the bun shop, not at home. So he didn't hear this first-hand thunder-like news.

"Really pregnant? I thought Fourth Brother was joking!" Zhou Xiao Mei exclaimed.

"If this is a girl, then you will be complete, old Fourth." Mother Zhou was overjoyed and merrily remarked.

Father Zhou frowned: "Da Wa and the boys are already this big. Fourth's wife has a job..."

It was rare that Father Zhou had the same opinion as Lin Qing He. He felt that there was really no need to have this one.

"What are you talking about?!" Mother Zhou uttered. "Dislike having so many? It's not that they can't afford it. Old Fourth's conditions are great. They can nurture another college student in the future. You dislike having so many college students?"

"Isn't Da Wa and the boys all grown up?" Father Zhou said.

"It's easier since they are grown up. Just take care of this one is enough. The older ones can help take care of it," Mother Zhou refuted.

"Now that she have it, then definitely keep it. What will happen to Fourth Sister-in-law's work?" Zhou Xiao Mei looked at her fourth brother.

"Continue to teach in the first half of the year and stop teaching in the second half." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

"How tiring will that be?" Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"Your fourth sister-in-law said it yourself." Zhou Qing Bai replied. In fact, according to his intention, it would be better for her to nurture the baby at home. However, he didn't dare to say it. His wife would get anxious with him.

Lin Qing He really planned to continue working again, but the conditions didn't allow it.

Maybe due to yesterday's chicken soup and mutton dumplings being a little greasy, her appetite started to become bad. She vomited every now and then.

Before the semester start, Lin Qing He's state became worst. She was vomiting endlessly once she got up in the morning. Zhou Qing Bai had to rub her back and coax her.

As for Zhou Xuan, Zhou Gui Lai, and Gang Zi, they all woken up.

"Mom, feel better?" Zhou Gui Lai said. He had poured a warm water for her.

"Wanting my old life." Lin Qing He accepted the water and gargle a bit. Only then, she drank the rest and felt a whole lot better.

    3. I do agree with Lin Qing He but it's already there, it would be heartless to stop it. I just hope Qing Bai will continue to give adequate support on her mental health since this is her first time giving birth and sacrificing her very stable job. As a reader tho, I also look forward to the little princess! :DD

    8. This will be there first child together, as the other three were with the original. I think that's why he really wants a girl so badly. He loves his wife and he wants a bit of her to exist in the world through a daughter.

      But being pregnant when you're older is definitely hard on the body. ๐Ÿ˜…

    10. I think Qing Bai should wait to tell the news, at least until the pregancy is on stable period. But oh well he really must believe on the monk (?) and of course there is plot power too

    11. After 552 chapters finally shes pregnant!!! This is the moment some of us were waiting for. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

    12. Wow, if this is real life, Qing He should be concerned he’s trying to isolate her in Hai City so that she has no one to depend on but her abusive husband. She’s struggling with symptoms but he only cares that she incubate his baby. Soldiers/officers also have a high domestic violence rate. Her guard should be up.

    13. “ It was even worse now. He walked to a corner by himself and laughed there. Laughed alone there.”

      Haha his one wish / request has finally been fulfilled, of course he is overjoyed. We’re 500+ chapter in, yet people still don’t get that LQH is extremely Tsundre when it comes to some things, that she has stated previously she wants a baby and she isn’t being forced to have one.

    16. I agree with the recent comment that ML is selfish. Well, he was too ambitious to have a daughter. Does he not think at all about his wife's condition? His wife has shown that she doesn't want to have children but he still insists. If he really loved his wife sincerely then he wouldn't be fixated on having a daughter. I can't really understand the readers who are very happy that FL has a daughter at such an advanced age. Don't they know how dangerous it is for a woman to have children in her 40s?. In the medical world, mothers are prioritized over unborn children, perhaps those reader's worldview needs to be corrected. (I'm a man btw)
