Zhou Meixia met Jiang Zao's gaze, her eyes filled with tenderness that was almost overflowing with tears.

"Looking at you now, Mom remembers when she was pregnant with you. So many years have passed without her realizing it. Now my Zao'er is a mother, and I, as her mother, am getting old."

Jiang Zao's eyes flickered slightly, her feelings suddenly becoming complicated, "Mom..."

Zhou Meixia quickly waved her hand, no longer recalling the past: "Mom just suddenly thought of these things, let's not talk about them anymore, I'll help you wash your back."

Zhou Meixia helped Jiang Zao sit down on a square stool, picked up a towel, wet it, and began to wipe her back.

None of the imagined awkwardness or discomfort occurred.

Jiang Zao sat obediently, quietly enjoying the sensation of her mother rubbing her back.

"Mom," Jiang Zao couldn't help but call out.

"Yes," Zhou Meixia replied softly.

"Mom, it's so good to have you," Jiang Zao said from the bottom of her heart.

Zhou Meixia's hand twitched almost imperceptibly as she rubbed her back, but she quickly resumed rubbing.

"Mom doesn't ask you to think I'm good, I just hope you don't hate me for not letting you go to school," Zhou Meixia said softly from behind Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao turned around and grasped her mother's hand. "Mom, I don't hate you. Don't let me think such things anymore."

Zhou Meixia nodded: "Okay, Mom doesn't want to think about it anymore. Mom only wants to know how to treat you well in the future. Let bygones be bygones."

Jiang Zao nodded, her tone relaxed: "Yes, it's all settled."

With her mother's help, Jiang Zao took a comfortable hot bath.

Zhou Meixia gave her clean clothes to change into, helped her to lie down on the bed, and then tidied up the bathtub before leaving.

Not long after Zhou Meixia left, Lu Yanxun came in.

He was covered in moisture, and his hair was wet.

"You've finished showering too?" Jiang Zao asked, looking at him.

Lu Yanxun dried his hair with a towel and casually replied, "Yes, I washed it in the small north room."

Jiang Zao didn't say anything, secretly admiring Lu Yanxun's appearance.

My goodness, this person is really good-looking.

This man is really too good-looking.

How come he looks so good no matter what?

It's totally unfair.

Even Jiang Zao, a woman, couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Lu Yanxun's beauty.

Such a handsome man, I wonder how good-looking his child will be.

Jiang Zao stole another glance at Lu Yanxun, then looked down at her stomach.

Tsk, she's actually starting to look forward to the arrival of the two children.

If both are boys, would they look like miniature versions of Lu Yanxun?

If they were all girls, would they look like gender-swapped versions of him?

It would be great if there were one boy and one girl, so she could see what the boy and girl looked like at the same time.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zao suddenly remembered that the child was shared by both her and Lu Yanxun.

It's unlikely that he only looks like Lu Yanxun.

So, will the child look like a combination of her and Lu Yanxun?

Jiang Zao thought carefully about what the child looked like.

And I'm glad that I'm good-looking too.

Otherwise, it might really lower the child's appearance.

Jiang Zao unconsciously touched her stomach.

Silently pray: Children, if you look like your father, you must be more handsome than him. If you look like me, you must be more handsome than me. If you look like both of us, remember to be more handsome than both of us.

Jiang Zao was lost in her fantasy, a mysterious smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

Seeing the enigmatic smile on Jiang Zao's lips, Lu Yanxun suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Zao smiled and said, "I miss our child."

Lu Yanxun glanced at his stomach: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zao gently patted her belly: "Nothing much, I was just thinking about whether the baby will look like you, me, or both of us when it's born."

Lu Yanxun listened but did not respond.

He had never thought about who the child would look like.

Thinking about it now, it seems quite interesting if there were two children who looked a lot like him, and they were his children.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't look like him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan looked at Jiang Zao's face.

Seeing Jiang Zao's fair and delicate face, Lu Yanxun inexplicably thought that it would be good to look like Jiang Zao.

Or, as Jiang Zao said, it would also be fine to look like either of them.

In short, Lu Yanxun felt that either of them was acceptable.

Lu Yanxun's gaze was too intense; Jiang Zao couldn't ignore him.

Jiang Zao suppressed her smile and deliberately put on a stern face: "Why are you staring at my face again? Is there something on my face?"

Lu Yanxun glanced at her, then silently looked away.

He stopped looking at her and didn't say anything.

Continue drying your hair.

A cold-hearted man.

Jiang Zao rolled her eyes at him and continued to fantasize about what the children would look like.

"Zao'er, are you going to sleep?" Zhou Meixia came again and knocked on the door from the outside. "I remembered that you only have one pillow in this room, so I brought you another one."

"Mom, come in," Jiang Zao said.

Zhou Meixia pushed open the door and entered, bringing in a clean pillow with a beaming smile.

"A new pillow, for Yan Xun to use," Zhou Meixia said.

"Thank you, Mother-in-law."

Lu Yanxun took the pillow and thanked him.

Zhou Meixia glanced at the bed, looking as if she was about to speak, but in the end she didn't.

Seeing her mother's hesitant expression, Jiang Zao spoke up: "Mom, just say what you want to say, it's okay."

Her mother clearly didn't just come to deliver pillows.

She probably wanted to take the opportunity to spy on whether she and Lu Yanxun would sleep in the same bed that night.

She's quite a worry for her mother.

Not only do we have to worry about her health, but also about her relationship with Lu Yanxun.

It seems she made the right decision to leave tomorrow; she'll leave so her mother won't have to worry so much.

Jiang Zao felt this way in her heart, and at the same time, she was deeply moved.

It feels so good to be cared for by my mom.

Jiangzao really enjoyed and loved this feeling of being cared for and loved.

“Uh, that…” Zhou Meixia’s eyes flickered slightly.

She cleared her throat before continuing, "Well, Mom wanted to ask how you sleep at night."

Finally, after asking the question, Zhou Meixia felt a sense of relief.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zao thought to herself that she had indeed guessed correctly.

Her mother is worried that her relationship with Lu Yanxun will be affected if they don't sleep together at night.

Not wanting her mother to worry, Jiang Zao replied in a reassuring tone, "Mom, I'll sleep with Yan Xun tonight. Don't worry, he'll take care of me and will definitely sleep with me."

After Jiang Zao finished speaking, she gave Lu Yanxun a wink: "Right, Yanxun?"

Lu Yanxun: "Okay, let's sleep together."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Meixia felt a headache coming on.

She quickly retorted, "Who told you to sleep together?"

"Huh?" Jiang Zao was stunned, not understanding what her mother meant by that.

The way her mother was talking made it sound like it was wrong for her to sleep with Lu Yanxun.

Zhou Meixia said in a tone of disappointment, "Zao'er, didn't Mom tell you? You're pregnant, you can't... you can't do that now!"

Jiang Zao was a little confused, staring blankly at her mother.

What can't I do?
