Chapter 148 Pregnancy Makes You Idiot for Three Years

After dinner, Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen leisurely walked along the paved bluestone path toward Xiaheju, the hot spring villa. Flowers swayed gently in the breeze, and candles flickered in half-man-high stone lamps, casting a warm glow all around. Gu Yichen walked beside her, his eyes gentle yet tinged with worry. He whispered, "Ling'er, if you feel unwell, please tell your husband."

Gu Yichen, a new father, despite his exceptional martial arts prowess and iron-clad mind, was exceptionally cautious regarding his wife's pregnancy. He had already consulted Mo Dong and meticulously documented the pregnancy taboos and precautions. He dared not overlook a single one, as if these trivial details depended on the future of him and Lu Ling'er. Yet, deep within, a lingering uneasiness lingered like a shadow.

Mo Dong had warned him of the impending "great catastrophe" mentioned by Master Xuankong, which instilled in Gu Yichen a heightened sense of vigilance. He began meticulously recording every important event in a small notebook, never daring to leave it. However, the more he recorded, the deeper his unease grew. It felt as if the thread of fate were slipping from his grasp, and he could sense some uncontrollable force gradually eroding the peace he had once held so tightly. It was a feeling of powerlessness he had never experienced before, a force so treacherous and invisible that it filled him with terror.

He often pondered alone late at night, trying to find the source of his loss of control, trying to reclaim the things he felt were slipping away. Whenever he held Lu Ling'er's hand, a sense of unease lingered in his heart like a shadow. The closer he got to her, the more he felt danger lurking in the dark corners, as if an invisible hand was trying to take away everything they had together.

Gu Yichen's inner fear wasn't of unknown enemies or danger, but rather a sense of powerlessness in the face of fate. This feeling grew stronger, as if an invisible chain was quietly entangling him, shackled to his every decision. He couldn't pinpoint the source of the danger, but he had a vague feeling that this unease was closely connected to Lu Ling'er, as if she alone held the key to this torrent of fate.

"I can't let this happen," he muttered to himself, his fists unconsciously clenching. He had to find a way to break the shackles of fate, he had to protect Lu Ling'er, not just for their present, but for every second of the future. He would never let fate slip through his hands, never let that feeling of powerlessness control their future.

They walked slowly along the winding stone path back to Xiahe Residence, where they would be staying tonight. The night in the hot spring villa was quiet and beautiful, surrounded by lush bamboo forests and blooming flowers. The gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness, as if telling of the tranquility of a paradise.

"I'm fine, husband. Don't worry too much. Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor?" Lu Ling'er said softly, her eyes as gentle as water as she looked at Gu Yichen. She knew his worries and anxieties, but in her heart, his love and care were the most solid support in her life. She smiled playfully, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You should be careful. It's me, a pregnant woman, who doesn't suffer from prenatal depression, but you do."

Gu Yichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing this, but he couldn't help but frown. "What is prenatal depression?" Despite his fears about the future, Lu Ling'er's trust and dependence were like a warm spring, nourishing his anxious heart. He silently vowed that no matter what the catastrophe, he would do his utmost to protect her safety.

"This is a psychological condition caused by invisible pressure," Lu Linger explained, her tone light yet serious. "Because of excessive stress, the patient's mind gradually collapses, and they may even engage in extreme behaviors such as self-harm or harming others." She sighed slightly, and her past life's experiences surfaced in her mind, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. "I once mediated a medical dispute, but ended up being stabbed. During the rescue, the Black and White Impermanence mistakenly mistakenly recognized my soul, and I ended up in this imaginary world in the book."

Looking at Gu Yichen's enchanting face, his frowning brows made him look very deep. Lu Linger thought to herself, "Oh, my husband is really not suffering from prenatal depression, is he?" This face full of worry and deep thought really made her laugh.

"I just..." Gu Yichen tried to explain, but found himself unable to articulate the words. His heart, like a latent undercurrent, surged ever deeper. The shadow of fate seemed to follow him like a shadow, gradually slipping from his control. The uneasy voice within him reminded him of the approaching uncertainty of the future.

"It's okay, husband, you have to trust me." Lu Linger interrupted his thoughts, a warm smile on her lips. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side. You must eat more and don't let yourself get too tired." She winked mischievously, as if trying to dispel the haze in his heart, and continued, "Husband, I will give you a gift when I get back. I made this for you while you were out this time. You will definitely like it."

Gu Yichen looked at her curiously, secretly amused. "Aren't you supposed to be resting? Why are you still bothering to make me a gift? You're being naughty." He felt a sense of relief at her teasing, but the uneasiness in his heart remained.

Lu Ling'er felt a little confused. Why did she always reveal her secrets to Gu Yichen like this? Was it really the saying "pregnancy makes women stupid for three years"? She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, but she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Arriving at Xiaheju's wing, Lu Ling'er grabbed Gu Yichen's arm and acted like a naughty child. The room, soft candlelight illuminating the exquisite decor, was a tranquil scene, adorned with soft fabrics and elegant furnishings. Incense curled from the incense burner, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, creating a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.

"I hope you like it, my husband." Lu Ling'er placed the ebony box in front of Gu Yichen. They sat on the soft couch, facing each other. Lu Ling'er looked at him with bright eyes, waiting for the surprise he would reveal when he opened the box. As a modern person, she has always been very concerned about the details of rituals. Therefore, she always strives to create an atmosphere in her life, add various fun things, and leave beautiful memories.

Gu Yichen stared at the box before him, silently pondering her thoughts. He pondered over it all, feeling both delighted by her playfulness and helpless at his own hidden worries. No matter what the future held, he hoped to protect this warmth, even if fate came crashing down on him like a raging tide, he would hold her tightly in his hands.
