Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 242 - 241: She Just Wants a Child

Fang Wanrong covered her face and wept, "Why, why? I just want a child, why does heaven have to treat me this way."

"Why!"

Fang Wanrong certainly knew the reason why Sheng Xinhao left.

But what could she do?

She just wanted a child.

Fang Manping, who had just returned, had witnessed the entire scene from the doorway.

If it were in the past, she would definitely have gone in to comfort her mother.

But now...

Fang Manping hesitated.

She knew what her mother had been up to recently.

She frantically sought out doctors who could help regulate the body and aid pregnancy.

She also drank a lot of medicine.

But it was all to no avail.

Her recent behavior had been somewhat too frantic.

Even her stepfather was now afraid.

Thinking about what her mother just said—"just want a child"...

So, in her mother’s eyes, wasn’t she her mother’s child?

So, her mother never regarded her as a reliance, did she?

Tears welled up in Fang Manping’s eyes.

Confusion also clouded her eyes.

In the past, she always lived to gain her mother’s love and care, always wanting to be her mother’s pride and support.

But that was only what she thought.

Her mother never saw it that way.

Then, should she also give up?

Since her mother gave up on her, she would no longer have any expectations.

Perhaps she should live for herself now!

Fang Wanrong, sitting on the floor in the living room crying, had no idea she was pushing her only daughter further away.

She was still thinking that the doctors she recently sought were useless.

The medicine she drank was ineffective.

No, she had to keep looking.

Surely she could find a doctor who could help her conceive again!

Fang Wanrong lifted her head again, her eyes full of determination and ambition.

-

With November’s arrival, it meant the New Year was not far off.

Initially, Gu Jia Ning planned to return home for the Spring Festival, but unfortunately encountered heavy snow blocking the roads.

With the roads blocked by snow, trains couldn’t run and were all canceled.

Therefore, Gu Jia Ning could not return home either.

From the eve of 1975 crossing into 1976, Gu Jia Ning still had to spend it at the Northwest Military Region.

However, this year was different from last year.

Last year, it was just her and Sheng Zexi at home.

But this year, there were two more children and Grandma Sang, Grandpa Sang.

Indeed, Grandpa Sang took the train to the Northwest Military Region to celebrate the New Year with them.

The reason he used was very valid.

"I finally completed my tasks, finally have time to rest, of course I should rest well, I’m not young anymore."

"You’ve been at the Northwest Military Region for so long, I miss you too."

"Not only do I miss you, but I miss my two great-grandchildren, oh, Xingxing, Yueyue, come let Great-Grandpa hug you."

Grandpa Sang had wanted to come for a long time, and now that he finally had the time, he naturally came.

As for how long he’d stay, that depended on him.

Xingxing and Yueyue were not unfamiliar at all with Grandpa Sang’s arrival and quickly adapted.

These two children always had a keen sense of right and wrong.

So, sensing Grandpa Sang’s kindness towards them, naturally, they liked him too.

This year’s Spring Festival, with so many people around, didn’t seem so lonely.

Although she couldn’t go back, Gu Jia Ning still prepared many gifts for the Gu Family, all packed in a parcel.

On New Year’s Eve, the Gu Family happened to receive this parcel.

Everyone got a gift.

Old Gu got a brand new army coat, while Yao Chunhua got a woolen coat, along with other items.

The old couple, wearing their new clothes, thought of their daughter and grandson far away in the Northwest, and their eyes couldn’t help but redden.

Longing overflowed from their eyes.

"Originally Ningning planned to bring her husband and two children back, but unfortunately, heavy snow blocked the roads, trains couldn’t run."

Unable to come last year, and this year too.

Year after year passes.

No telling how long it would take to meet again.

"At least you’ve been to the Northwest Military Region to see her, I haven’t had a chance even once," Old Gu said in a slightly sour tone.

Yao Chunhua looked at her old man and sighed inwardly.

How could she not know her husband’s longing for their daughter, while sleeping in the same bed?

Her old man doted on Ningning the most.

Besides, her old man was rich in emotions.

Yao Chunhua had lost count of how many times since the daughter married, her husband’s eyes would redden whenever mentioning her.

Sometimes he would even dream of her, and upon waking without her by his side, he would cry in secret.

Children, always a burden!

A lifetime of worry for parents.

"Alright, alright, it’s just not possible for her to come back."

"At least we know she’s living happily, and that’s enough."

Meanwhile, far away in the Northwest, Gu Jia Ning was being pulled by Sheng Zexi to set off some small fireworks.

Gu Jia Ning was playing with a sparkler, the two children wrapped securely, sitting in a stroller, clapping their hands, eyes sparkling.

Making "ah-ah" sounds.

"Do you want to play too? No, you’re still too young, you might hurt yourselves, so you can’t play for now."

"When you grow up a little, then you can play."

"For now, let mommy play for you."

Gu Jia Ning played with the fireworks, teasing the two children, and finally, a smile appeared on her face.

Sheng Zexi, seeing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew, although his wife didn’t say it, she must be thinking of her family far away in Huaihua Village.

Sheng Zexi also wished his wife could go back.

But the natural disaster was beyond his control.

So, he could only think of ways to make Gu Jia Ning happy, carefully reminding the two children to make their mom happy too.

Even though he wasn’t sure if they understood, seeing the children cooperating nicely, Ningning was also very happy.

Unsure how long they played, when they finally looked back, the two children in the stroller were already asleep.

Sheng Zexi carefully pushed the stroller to the room.

Gently putting the children on the bed, he covered them meticulously with blankets.

Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang, both seniors, couldn’t stay up late, so they went to bed early.

At this hour, the only ones not asleep in the yard were Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning.

Gu Jia Ning waited in the yard for Sheng Zexi to return after putting the children to bed.

It wasn’t long before he came back.

Returning with a small box, he handed it to Gu Jia Ning.

"What’s this?"

"A New Year gift."

A New Year gift?

Gu Jia Ning remembered last year when Sheng Zexi also gave her a birthday gift.

A very beautiful hair clip.

What could it be this time?

Gu Jia Ning opened it, finding the petal-shaped hair clip gleaming in the starlight.

Gu Jia Ning instantly fell in love with it.

"You’re gifting me another hair clip?" Gu Jia Ning asked with a smile.

"Because you love hair clips the most. When I saw this, I thought you would definitely like it, so I bought it."
