Chapter 1237 - 1234: Reunion After a Long Separation 2

Empress Dowager Liu stood up: "What on earth is up with you two? Why are you being so secretive?"

Wan Donglin lowered his voice: "Empress Dowager, I have two pieces of news for you, one is good news, the other is bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"

Seeing him suddenly turn so serious, she chuckled: "Tell me the bad news first."

He cleared his throat: "Well, it’s that you’ll probably be very busy in the future and have a lot on your mind."

"..."

"Moreover, you’ll need to prepare quite a bit of pocket money and New Year’s money..."

"!!!!"

"What about the good news?"

"You have a grandson now."

"!!!"

"There’s a little baby who’ll need you to give him New Year’s money every year!"

Liu Daqing’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Then, he burst into laughter: "Really? Xixi is really expecting?"

Yan Xixi nodded and handed over the examination report for her to see.

Liu Daqing hurriedly took out his reading glasses, and after a glance, he couldn’t stop smiling: "This is great, absolutely great... hahaha, I’ve been looking forward to this moment for so many years... hahaha, since I’m in such a good mood today, I’ll immediately order the kitchen to add more dishes... Xixi, you have to take good care of yourself, rest well, this time, you absolutely can’t be careless..."

Empress Dowager Liu personally drafted a menu and gave orders, "Don’t underestimate it, this wasn’t concocted by me alone, it was specially tailored for me by a nutritionist back then..."

Wan Donglin laughed softly: "Empress Dowager, you prepared this so early?"

"Who says otherwise? As soon as Xixi returned to the country this year, I started preparing. After consulting a nutritionist, I also searched for information online, made a few modifications myself, and tried to make it as perfect as possible... Xixi, take a look, does this suit your taste?"

Yan Xixi took a look at the rich and varied nutritional menu and immediately understood the whole picture.

It turns out Empress Dowager Liu felt she was ill, afraid that in the future she wouldn’t witness the grandchild’s growth and couldn’t do anything for him, so she started preparing early.

With a sour feeling in her heart, Yan Xixi said softly, "Empress Dowager, this is already wonderful, I really like it."

"Haha, as long as you like it. This time, we must take good care of you. In the first three months, it’s best to rest in bed quietly, let’s not announce it to everyone. After the baby stabilized, we can have some activities; how does that sound?"

She laughed: "That’s exactly what I was thinking."

Wan Donglin got anxious: "Then what about the wedding? Won’t it happen for now? Won’t people say we’re getting married because of the baby?"

Empress Dowager Liu wasn’t concerned: "What’s the big deal? You two already have the marriage certificate. Isn’t having a marriage certificate stronger than having a wedding? Donglin, you’re not a woman, you don’t understand a woman’s hardships; the first three months are critical, especially for pregnant women with severe symptoms, who experience nausea, sleepiness, and severe fatigue, feeling miserable all day, wanting to do nothing but sleep. In such times, how can Xixi have the energy to be a bride? Besides, if it requires fetal preservation, she has to stay in bed all the time, she can’t even step on the ground, how would you manage the wedding?"

Beside him, Yan Xixi was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "Right, right, Empress Dowager sees clearly, Empress Dowager sees clearly... hehe, how could I have the energy to wear a wedding dress, high heels, and look pretty?"

Wan Donglin said with a bitter face: "I’m doing this to give you a status, worried about people making fun of you."

She was unperturbed: "Nowadays, who would dare laugh at you? Are they crazy? Getting married isn’t for others to see. Who cares if they laugh or not???"
