Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Third Aunt, please don't scare him. He hasn't been sleeping well these past few days. He's been woken up by nightmares every night and can't fall back asleep. He's not getting any rest."

Chu Yueli felt sorry for Lu Beimo.

He'd never been this anxious, not even during military campaigns. Now that she's about to give birth, he's even more nervous than she is, the one about to deliver.

Huo Qing glanced at Lu Beimo. Despite the cold weather and the presence of a heater in the room, there was still a slight chill in the air. The boy was so anxious that sweat was beading on his forehead.

I was really nervous.

Huo Qing laughed and said, "Okay, I was just kidding, but what I said is also true. I'm not a god, how would I know when Ali will give birth? It still depends on her condition."

"Don't be so nervous. This baby won't be born right away. It will take some time before Ali has any symptoms."

She glanced back at the two midwives, then looked at Chu Yueli: "How is it?"

"I'll do whatever my third aunt decides," Chu Yueli said.

Huo Qing then waved her hand and said, "Then, you should go back and rest first. You can be available anytime."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two turned and left.

Chu Yueli tried to get up, and Lu Beimo immediately went over and gently helped her up.

The movements were so gentle, as if the slightest bit of force would cause her to break in his hands.

"Ah Li, what are you doing?"

"I'm uncomfortable lying down for too long, so I want to get up and move around a bit."

"I'll help you."

"Need not."

Chu Yueli pushed him away.

I'm not really that fragile, but ever since I got pregnant, except when I'm fighting, this guy has been sticking to me like a personal remedy.

Only at certain specific times was Chu Yueli absolutely unwilling to let him follow her.

"Are you going to have another private chat?" Lu Beimo didn't know where these women got so much to say.

Second aunt, third aunt, and Chu Lingshan—they're all from the Chu family.

He would also bring a perilla leaf and often whisper secrets in Chu Lingshan's room.

Sometimes they would talk for more than an hour, making him feel uneasy outside.

These women insisted that men should never eavesdrop on their private conversations, and being a gentleman, he didn't dare approach to listen.

Therefore, you'll never know what they're actually saying.

Huo Qing was also somewhat surprised recently: "A-Li, is there something you want to talk to us about privately?"

She glanced at Lu Beimo.

Chu Yueli also glanced at Lu Beimo.

Lu Beimo said anxiously, "How about we stop talking for the next two days? If they have anything to say, let them come here and tell you?"

“This is where you live. Lingshan is still an unmarried woman, and I don’t want her staying in your room.”

I don't know if what Chu Yueli said is right or wrong. It sounds like it makes some sense, but it also seems meaningless.

"This room is full of your things, I haven't taken up much space..."

"I said no, and that's final. Are you trying to start a fight with me?"

One sentence was enough to make Lu Beimo shut his mouth and step aside.

Huo Qing helped Chu Yueli out the door.

Lu Beimo followed closely behind, saying, "Third Aunt, be careful and keep an eye on Ali."

"I've been watching the whole time." Huo Qing was really exasperated; this guy was scaring himself to death.

"Stop arguing and go back now."

Chu Yueli waved her hand, then looked at Huo Qing, her eyes darkening slightly: "Third Aunt, hurry up."
