After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 238 Fetal Movement
Meng Weiyuan kept his petty schemes to himself; he didn't want to bring them up in front of You Sijia and make himself seem narrow-minded.

Yusijia was more than five months pregnant when the Lunar New Year arrived.

This was the second Spring Festival she and Meng Weiyuan had spent together since their marriage.

Meng Weiyuan had promised to take her out to play every year, but this year, You Sijia is pregnant, and both families want to keep her at home. Even when Meng Weiyuan thought of sneaking out of the house with You Sijia, the two elders joined forces to suppress his idea.

"Meng Weiyuan, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're a grown man, how can you be so inconsiderate? Jiajia is pregnant, and you still want her to go on vacation abroad with you? Isn't that exhausting?" After hearing that Meng Weiyuan was planning to take Yousijia to a private island near the equator for a vacation, Ms. Cheng Xie immediately called and berated him. "Don't think I don't know you're planning to buy the BRTK port and use that as an excuse to get Jiajia to accompany you on your business trip, right?"

After hearing this, Meng Weiyuan was utterly speechless.

It's one thing for him to buy the port, but the island he planned to take Yusjia to is incredibly far from the port. How did it turn into Yusjia accompanying him on a business trip?

Because the loudspeaker was on, You Sijia, who was next to Meng Weiyuan, naturally heard what Meng's mother said.

Yu Sijia couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Meng Weiyuan being reprimanded.

She originally intended to say a few words in defense, but soon Meng's mother spoke up again, basically saying that she had been on a business trip in New York last week and bought a lot of new clothes, all for You Sijia, and asked Meng Weiyuan to take the courtyard house back later.

It sounds like a lot—jewelry, bags, perfumes, high heels, ready-to-wear clothing, etc.—enough to fill at least several trucks.

Yu Sijia was overjoyed to see her mother-in-law's massive shopping spree, all of which was for her. Of course, this happiness made the recent grievances Meng Weiyuan had suffered seem insignificant.

Oh well, what could my mother-in-law have done wrong? She bought me so many things, even if she misunderstood Meng Weiyuan, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Yu Sijia covered her mouth and chuckled, but Meng Weiyuan quickly reached out and flicked her nose.

"Be smug," Meng Weiyuan mouthed to her.

Yusja laughed out loud after the call ended.

"How are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?" Meng Weiyuan asked. "You little ingrate, who was it that insisted on going to an island in the first place? And said you were bored in China lately?"

Yu Sijia felt guilty. The decision of the destination for the Spring Festival holiday was entirely in her hands; Meng Weiyuan was merely a tool to make arrangements based on the results. Now, he had become the scapegoat.

Both sets of elders were worried about the two of them being away during the Spring Festival. In order not to worry their elders, You Sijia naturally had to stay in China with Meng Weiyuan.

“Let’s stay in Beijing. My parents said they want to come this year so we don’t have to make a fuss. They want to come to Beijing so we can all have some fun together,” Yu Sijia said.

Meng Weiyuan: "Are you sure you don't want to go to the island? Domestic travel is fine too."

He didn't care about being scolded by his elders. As long as Yusga wanted to go, it wasn't shameful for him to take the blame for his wife.

He is happy!
Just as Yuska was about to shake her head, she suddenly cried out in surprise.

"what!"

One second Meng Weiyuan seemed calm, but the instant he heard You Sijia's exclamation, he almost immediately sat up in bed. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

His expression was full of tension.

Yusjia stared blankly at Meng Weiyuan, placed her hand on her slightly protruding belly, and murmured absentmindedly, "Just now, I think he kicked me."

At seventeen weeks, Yustia went to find out the baby's gender.

She didn't want to buy clothes for a boy for her little princess, and the decorations for the children's room also needed to be planned according to the gender. But to Yusjia's disappointment, it wasn't the little princess she had hoped for in her belly, but a boy.

When she told Jiang Lingyu about the result, he comforted her with a lot of words.

Although Jiang Lingyu's comforting words had no effect on her at all, it was because Jiang Lingyu was carrying a lovely little girl in her belly.

After finding out the child's gender, Yusjia lost her initial enthusiasm for designing the children's room.

She dreamed of transforming the rooms next to the Sixi Courtyard into a dreamlike princess castle, but reality dealt her a harsh blow first.

Meng Weiyuan didn't really care whether the child in her belly was a boy or a girl; he was looking forward to any child that came out of You Sijia's belly.

Now, when Meng Weiyuan heard You Sijia say that she had been kicked, he couldn't help but frown.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Yuska: "It hurt quite a bit for a moment just now..."

Meng Weiyuan's brows furrowed even more at this moment. He placed his large hand on You Sijia's stomach and patted it gently as if to comfort her. "If I had known it would be like this, it would have been better if it were a little girl. You naughty brat, making you suffer."

Meng Weiyuan stared at You Sijia's belly, looking as if he had already planned everything out, and that as soon as the little bean in her belly came out, he would give her a good meal of bamboo shoots and pork.

As for the expectant father, he felt no excitement at all upon seeing the fetal movement; he was, however, a little angry.

It's unclear whether the little one inside Meng Weiyuan heard what he said, but the little one, who had only waved its little fist, suddenly started moving, creating one small bump after another on You Sijia's belly.

"hiss--"

Yusjia couldn't help but frown. She couldn't stand hardship to begin with, and now the little thing in her belly was making her feel so much pain that she couldn't speak.

Fortunately, it was just a temporary action, but it still caused Yuska some trouble.

Meng Weiyuan had just felt the baby move, but his face looked gloomy. "Does he often do this?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

There were several clearly visible crescent-shaped marks on the back of his other hand, only one of which was not broken. These were marks left by Yusjia when she couldn't bear the pain and scratched the back of his hand.

Yusia shook her head, "This is the first time I've felt such obvious fetal movement today."

Meng Weiyuan reached out and touched her forehead. After confirming that she wasn't sweating from the pain, he withdrew his hand.

"When you come out, teach him a lesson," he said, pursing his lips.

Yusjia couldn't help but laugh, glancing at the person next to her with a teasing look, "You're still arguing with him? He doesn't know anything."

Even though she wanted a little princess and this time her wish wasn't fulfilled, Yustya didn't say she disliked the little one in her belly.

She had only said it casually, but she didn't expect Meng Weiyuan to take it seriously.

"Is that not allowed?" Meng Weiyuan's expression was sour. "You were feeling unwell just now, and it was all his fault."
