“Honey, it’s been tough on you.”
The pregnancy had been tough on her, but it had not been easy on him either!
For the past ten months, she had clearly seen his efforts. His forbearance, his tolerance, his care, his companionship, these were all obvious to her. He had given as much as she did.
If they could switch places, this proud man would have been willing to bear the pain of childbirth for her.
Especially during the time when she was extremely depressed, it was also he who brought her out of that darkness, a step at a time.
She suddenly said, “Actually, there’s something I feel torn apart over!”
Mu Yazhe stroked her hair and raised an eyebrow. “Hmmm? What is it?”
She pondered for a moment, and hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell him about it. “Say, haven’t we always been doing very well with the pregnancy prevention measures?”
“Uh huh…”
Mu Yazhe’s eyelids twitched. He quickly understood what she was puzzled over!
“But how did I manage to get pregnant?” This still stumped Yun Shishi. “I know for a fact that I’ve always taken long-term contraceptives. Does this mean they don’t work?”
“Contraceptive pills are not good stuff to be taking. It’s not good for your health long-term! Don’t take them again in the future!” The man did not answer her question but deliberately changed the topic.
Yun Shishi’s thoughts were not led astray by him, however. She continued to harp on this topic since she just could not figure it out. “We are careful about contraception. Apart from me taking medicine, you do use condoms sometimes. Logically speaking, it’s almost impossible to get pregnant!”
Mu Yazhe was hesitant to tell her the truth. The reason that the contraceptive pill failed was because he had been evil and replaced her contraceptive pills with folic acid pills. The pills looked almost identical after removing the packaging. She might not have been that observant or studied it that closely to see the difference.
However, he was worried that it would upset her to find out what he had done to get her pregnant.
After all, this was against her wishes and his action did not seem very honorable.
Hence, he probed, “Don’t you like our daughter?”
“I do of course! I like her so much!”
Yun Shishi was annoyed at him. “What are you saying? How can I not love my own daughter? After all, she is my own flesh and blood. It’s just that I wasn’t prepared to get pregnant back then, so this child caught me off-guard. However, after Yueyao was born, I realized I was the fortunate one! It’s considered a blessing to have both sons and daughters. You were so right that this is a daughter!”
Mu Yazhe instantly fell silent.
She added, “I guess we can call this a beautiful accident!”
“Actually…”
He replied, “I’ve always wanted a daughter!”
“Uh huh!”
“But this time, even if we had ended up with a son, I would still love him and be very happy! So…”
After some deliberation, he said, “I replaced your contraceptive pill with folic acid pills. So, Yueyao’s arrival was within my expectations but also beyond my expectations! Because I never thought that it would really fulfill my wish. The heavens have blessed me and fulfilled my wish!”
Yun Shishi was stunned for half a second, but her expression did not change much. She only curled her lips faintly in response.
He thought that she would be really upset. He asked curiously, “Aren’t you angry?”
“Hmmm?”
“Angry with me, for replacing the birth control pills.”
