CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 354 DIVISION OF LABOR (3)

Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "I still need to go to the county town in a few days. I’ll notify them."

Li Xingmao said, "You’re the younger sister-in-law, and it’s a joyful event for your sister-in-law to be pregnant. Only the brother can deliver the good news. You attend to your own matters."

Li Yuzhu chuckled, "Alright, alright, you two handle your own affairs. Mother and I are leaving."

She took Guoguo’s hand, "Guoguo, let’s go play."

"Let’s go play," Guoguo parroted, holding Li Yuzhu’s hand and leading her outside.

The Princess Consort Luling reminded Li Xingmao to take good care of Chai Eying, then left with a smile.

Inside, only the couple remained.

Chai Eying glanced at Li Xingmao, lowered her head, her expression complicated.

There was joy, worry, and bewilderment.

Li Xingmao sat next to her, "Eying."

Chai Eying turned her head slightly, looked at him, then lowered her head again.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m here," Li Xingmao said gently.

Despite the hot weather, Chai Eying’s hands were cold.

Chai Eying took a deep breath, "I’m... I’m not nervous." Actually, very nervous.

Though Guoguo constantly called her ’mom,’ she became nervous when she was truly about to become one.

Worried about her health, worried about the baby’s health, worried about the baby not being good-looking.

It was said that the Xue Family was stunningly beautiful. Seeing her own less-than-spectacular face in the mirror, she worried the child might not be as good-looking as Guoguo and Jingjing.

In any case, just worrying, thoughts running wild for no reason.

Li Xingmao looked at her face and suddenly laughed, "You say you’re not nervous, but your face is as pale as can be. If someone didn’t know, they might think something bad happened, but actually, we just added a child to our family, just more joyfulness."

"Husband, what if the child isn’t pretty?" Chai Eying thought for a moment, then boldly looked at Li Xingmao.

Li Xingmao laughed, "As long as it’s our child, I will love them."

Chai Eying stared at him, "Really?"

Li Xingmao smiled, "What father doesn’t love their own child?"

Chai Eying sighed, "I heard that the Xue Family is beautiful, so Guoguo and Jingjing are also beautiful. I’m not a beauty, the child... might not be beautiful."

Li Xingmao’s face turned serious, "Eying, stop comparing yourself with the Xue Family, she’s unworthy!"

Chai Eying thought, she didn’t want to either, but when three kids are together in the future, comparisons will be made.

Seeing her still worried, Li Xingmao held her hand, "Eying, in my eyes, all children are beautiful. No matter what our child looks like, I will love them." He caressed her brows, "Besides, I think you are the most beautiful, no one can compare."

Chai Eying was amused by him, "How can you say such things?"

"I say it, so it is," Li Xingmao looked at her, "No matter what others say about you, I think you are good, so you are the best in the world."

Chai Eying felt a warm feeling in her heart, "Husband."

"Thirsty? I’ll make you some mint tea. Mother said earlier that mint tea is good," Li Xingmao smiled, patted her hand, and stood up.

Chai Eying nodded, "Mmm, let it cool a bit, it’s hot, I like drinking it cool."

"Alright," Li Xingmao smiled.

.

The news of Chai Eying’s pregnancy spread through the Li Family.

Prince Luling was delighted, insisting on a family banquet to celebrate, and asked Yuanxiu to stay and join them for drinks.

Yuanxiu agreed with a smile.

Li Xing’an returned from the fields, only to find his father had once again kept Yuanxiu for dinner.

With a stern face, he pulled Yuanxiu aside.

"Yuanxiu, I heard you went to the county town today?" He couldn’t go, yet Yuanxiu went openly?

Outrageous!

Yuanxiu gave a slight smile, "Third brother, we have an agreement between us, remember?"

Li Xing’an frowned deeply, "I know, I’m just saying! Did you go to the county to see my sister again? Hmm? If you break the agreement, you have to listen to me! Be my little brother!"

Yuanxiu said, "Not at all, I was called by elder brother."

Li Xing’an was taken aback, "My elder brother?" His arm was being twisted outward?

"Yes."

"What did he call you for?" Li Xing’an rubbed his chin, wondering how Yuanxiu managed to get both his brother and father to like him.

"To escort sister-in-law back home, he said he didn’t know the way to the County Magistrate Mansion, so he called me to lead the way," Yuanxiu said.

"That’s it?" Li Xing’an squinted, wondering when his elder brother had become so incompetent that he couldn’t even manage a simple task like finding the County Magistrate Mansion?

"If third brother doesn’t believe me, you can ask elder brother," Yuanxiu smiled.

"I will," Li Xing’an glanced at him, then went to find Li Xingmao.

Li Xingmao had arranged for Chai Eying to rest in the room while he went to the kitchen to kill a chicken.
