Chapter 739: Baby Is Getting Ready to Set Off

"Did you hear that? So, babies, get ready," Jiang Muye said softly as he leaned down and pressed his ear to Leng Ruoli's belly, planting a gentle kiss there.

Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly, her face glowing with the radiance of maternal love. She now had an indescribable softness and gentleness about her, like a beautiful lake that put one's heart at ease.

Jiang Muye felt that she was even more beautiful now, so beautiful that he couldn't look away. One look and he already wanted another.

He even felt that marrying Leng Ruoli was the best decision he had ever made. If not for her, he might still be trapped in torment, unable to break free.

Even if he hadn't come to his senses back then and had still chosen Xia Xiran, the two of them would have stumbled along and never truly ended up together, and he would have been battered and bruised.

He and Xia Xiran had always been people from two different worlds, and yet also people of the same temperament.

He had his own pride too, but for Xia Xiran's sake he had chosen to compromise and humble himself.

And it was Leng Ruoli who had healed his wounds.

"Babies, we've prepared gifts for you too. Look, Daddy bought so many toys!" Leng Ruoli smiled and rubbed her belly. "After you're born, you can open your gifts."

Jiang Muye nodded. "There'll be no shortage of gifts in the future, so remember to be smart about it. No C-sections to make things hard on your mom. You have to come out early, so switch to natural birth, understand?"

"They definitely don't understand right now. Whether it's natural birth or a C-section definitely isn't something they can decide, it'll have to depend on the specific situation," Leng Ruoli said with a faint smile.

"It's not like I want you to suffer."

"I'm a little scared now. I feel like neither one sounds very comfortable." Leng Ruoli looked a bit worried.

Seeing her tremble, Jiang Muye immediately rubbed the palm of her hand and said to her, "When you go into the operating room later, I'll definitely be right there with you."

"No!" Leng Ruoli said to Jiang Muye seriously. "It's so ugly, and the scene during childbirth is really bloody. I don't want you to see it."

"You silly girl. My Darling is charging into battle for me, working so hard to give birth, and I can't even handle this much? If I just stood outside indifferent, I wouldn't deserve to be the father of these children."

From the people around him, Jiang Muye had come to understand the hardship of ten months of pregnancy, and how terrifying and painful it was to finally go onto the operating table.

He couldn't fully experience the discomfort Leng Ruoli was about to go through, but he wanted to share as much of it as he could, to do whatever was within his power.

Leng Ruoli immediately stuck out her tongue and held back the tears welling up in her eyes. "Hey, what's wrong with us? The baby isn't even born yet, and we're already thinking about all sorts of things to come."

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth rose uncontrollably. "Yeah, I heard that pregnancy makes you silly for three years, and that expectant fathers get infected and turn dumb too."

"I'm not silly at all, I'm very smart." Leng Ruoli broke into a smile.

Jiang Muye nodded. "Not silly, very smart. My Darling is still a little top student."

After urging Leng Ruoli to change into some other dresses, he bought some maternity clothes, and then started buying flat shoes for her.

Leng Ruoli wanted to try the shoes on herself, but Jiang Muye immediately said, "Let me."

He knew that for Leng Ruoli to squat down and try on shoes, she would have to bend over, and ever since she got pregnant, she'd had constant back pain.

As her husband, he definitely had to be a little perceptive.

Jiang Muye placed Leng Ruoli's leg on his own, then took off her shoe.

Leng Ruoli's fair, smooth little feet were revealed, still slender and lovely.

After Jiang Muye put the shoes on her, she smiled. "My feet seem to have gotten a lot fatter."

"Where are they fat? They're still so small. Your shoe size is only 36." When Jiang Muye had seen Leng Ruoli's feet before, he'd always thought they were so tiny. Even now that they were a bit swollen, they still seemed to be only about size 37.

"You're seeing the world through the eyes of love. Of course you'd praise me no matter what." Leng Ruoli smiled.

Jiang Muye immediately raised an eyebrow. "Mm-hm, if I don't praise you, then who would I praise? Besides, they really don't look bad, I mean it. Walk a bit and see, are they squeezing your feet?"

Leng Ruoli held back a laugh and looked down at the flat shoes on her feet. "They're quite comfortable. Let me walk a bit."

After taking a few steps, she said to Jiang Muye, "Not bad, nothing wrong with them. Let's go with this pair."

"Alright, let's look at some others and buy them together." After scanning the area, Jiang Muye said to Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli shook her head. "We've already bought too many. It'll be tiring to carry them around later."

"No problem, I'll carry them. Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you. What is all this stuff?" Jiang Muye was actually quite strong, and didn't think this was any kind of problem at all.

Seeing how hard Jiang Muye was working, Leng Ruoli couldn't help but smile.

She stepped forward to help Jiang Muye carry the things, and he immediately became agitated. "Why are you helping me carry things? You already have two little ones in your belly, you're already carrying enough. And you still want to help? Just relax and walk with me, I'm happy as long as I see you're doing fine."

"Then I'd feel bad…" Leng Ruoli lowered her little head and looked at Jiang Muye pitifully.

Jiang Muye gave her a brilliant smile. "If you feel bad, then let me eat an extra bowl of rice when we get back."

"Pfft," Leng Ruoli burst out laughing. "As if I don't let you eat normally."

"Then you should eat a bit more normally too. Otherwise I'd feel embarrassed eating so much. Compared to your appetite, I'm like a big eater." Jiang Muye teased.

"Where's the exaggeration in that!" Leng Ruoli felt Jiang Muye was being way too dramatic.

"It's that you eat like a little bird. I see other pregnant women eating more than you, and you've been having morning sickness a lot lately, so you can't keep much down. That won't do. When we get back, I'll cook. Whatever you want to eat, just tell me the dish names." Jiang Muye said frankly.

Leng Ruoli blinked. "If I throw up your food, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?"

"It would hurt my pride a bit, but I can understand. After all, you're pregnant, and morning sickness is perfectly normal. It doesn't mean my cooking is bad."

"I'll do my best and try hard to keep it down." Leng Ruoli clenched her small pink fist and said seriously.

"Silly, just throw up if you're uncomfortable. You're already having a hard time being pregnant, and you can't exactly control wanting to throw up. If I interfered with even that, I'd be going too far." Jiang Muye doted on his Darling.

He saw all the troubles of her pregnancy with his own eyes.

He had the System, but it could only stop Leng Ruoli's morning sickness for a while. After all, she was very sensitive throughout the whole pregnancy, and it was even harder on her than on other pregnant women.

There were twins in her belly, after all, heavy and cumbersome.

"I never imagined pregnancy would be this hard. Every mom has it tough." Leng Ruoli sighed. "But when I think about how these two little ones will come into this world healthy and well, I feel like all the hardship seems worth it."
