The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 368 - 230: Can You Feel It? Baby Is Kicking You!
"Husband! Husband!!!"
In the bedroom, Yelyu Lie was fervently writing when he suddenly heard his little wife’s call.
He quickly put aside everything in his hands and strode to the bed draped with curtains.
"What happened? What happened to Nuannuan!"
Yelyu Lie dared not approach, only anxious behind the deep red bed curtains.
Because every approach made her fearful and uneasy, made her lose her senses.
His fragile little darling, all he could do was obediently listen and stabilize her emotions, he could do nothing else.
But just at that moment, a small hand suddenly reached out from the forever ajar bed curtain, a hand as thin as a bone.
Just looking at that hand, Yelyu Lie felt his heart tighten.
The curtain lifted, finally allowing him a glimpse of the little darling who had refused to see him these past days...
His eyes immediately reddened.
His legs felt as if filled with lead, unable to move at all.
Nuannuan ah...
His Nuannuan...
How had she become like this?
What could he do? What could he possibly do?
As tears threatened to overflow, Yelyu Lie quickly turned around.
Yun Chunnuan instantly realized how frightening her appearance was at that moment.
She lowered the bed curtain, no matter how much joy she felt, she dared not share it with him.
"Husband, am I very ugly now?" she forced a smile.
This was her own choice, how could she blame her husband for finding her ugly?
Just days ago, the image in the mirror was terrifying enough, now she must be even more frightful, right?
Yelyu Lie wiped away the crystalline tears in his eyes and quickly turned around, lifted the bed curtain, and sat by the little darling’s bedside.
The amber pupils still filled with deep affection, full of her figure.
Dim, ugly, strange...
Like a madman without a doubt!
Yun Chunnuan hastily pulled the blanket up, her emotions once again becoming agitated, "Go! Go away! I just wanted you to bring a cup of water! Who let you in! Go away!"
This time, Yelyu Lie did not listen, did not leave amidst her frantic rebukes.
His warm hand reached out to her dry strands of hair.
His voice trembled uncontrollably, "Nuannuan ah, let me help you comb your hair. My wife is so beautiful and should be delicate from head to toe."
Beneath the covers, Yun Chunnuan was already crying, her face covered with tears.
Yet stubbornly, she still refused to let him see her at that moment, "I don’t need it! If you find me ugly, you can ask for those that the King gifted you..."
Before she could finish her words, the blanket was pulled open.
She, like a little hedgehog that had been hiding in the dark suddenly exposed to light, raised all her spikes.
She was angry, her voice hoarse and frantic, yet was caught and embraced tightly by his slowly descending figure.
"How could I have the right to scorn you?! Even if your hair turns white, your teeth fall out, your skin wrinkles like tree bark, the only one I love deeply is you! Nuannuan, it can only be you!"
"I beg you, stop tormenting me, I beg you..."
Her refusal to meet him was for him the most painful torment.
Clearly, it was only a few days, but separated by a veil, neither touched nor seen, any approach would make her go mad.
He couldn’t take it anymore!
Couldn’t take these days, nor her enduring everything alone!
He was the root of all these, evidently!
Why would she torment herself, not letting him partake even a bit?
Yun Chunnuan was stunned for a moment.
She thought her tears had dried over these days, but at that moment they fell like a pouring galaxy.
Her sharp chin rested on the man’s broad shoulder, she cried with grievances, sadness, uncontrollably.
"I am ugly... Husband, I am so ugly... It was me who insisted on keeping this child, I know you are suffering, I know you’re in pain, it was my insistence... It’s me... But I can’t let go, I can’t let go..."
Her choking voice was incoherent.
How could she not have regrets?
Yun Chunnuan questioned herself more than once, should she really keep this child?
With the speed the baby is growing now, when it’s born, what will it be like? Will it be healthy? Will it be safe?
If it were an abnormal child, even Spiritual Spring Water couldn’t save it, she would be guilty of not only herself, but the baby in her belly!
But in Yun Chunnuan’s view, this child was her last hope.
If this child was gone, her husband would surely not let her conceive another.
Her envisioned beautiful future always had a place reserved for the baby.
If there was no more, what kind of regret would her remaining life bear?
No matter if danger looms ahead, possibly engulfing her, Yun Chunnuan wanted to try.
A one-in-a-million hope is better than no hope at all, isn’t it?
The word ’mother’, it was only when pregnant with the baby, she understood its greatness...
"Not ugly, my Nuannuan is the most beautiful Fairy in this world, I understand, I understand it all, since we chose to keep this... this child, let’s face it together, shall we?"
Since knowing of this child’s existence, all his references were ’this thing’, ’that thing’.
At this moment, he finally acknowledged, this is their child.
Yun Chunnuan broke into a smile, slightly pushing away his embrace.
"Husband, the baby moved!"
She gently uncovered the blanket. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
At that instant, Yelyu Lie’s pupils contracted dramatically.
What he saw was not the movement of that thing, but the dried little wife’s body that had become merely bones, without a trace of flesh.
And her belly, over the course of a few days, had quietly grown larger.
Through a layer of skin, the thing inside seemed to feel his presence, and with either a fist or foot, struck fiercely against the hand he placed on her belly.
"Um!" Yun Chunnuan winced in pain, let out a muffled groan.
But for the first time truly feeling she was carrying a genuine baby, her agony was filled with a brilliance called maternal love.
It made those once dull eyes suddenly sparkle.
"Husband, did you feel it? The baby kicked you! TA must be angry, angry that you as a father don’t like TA."
Yelyu Lie touched the round, protruding belly, also for the first time realizing suddenly, this child’s real existence.
His heart was riddled with complexity.
Hatred? Resentment? A bit of both.
After all, it was this little thing that tormented his wife to a lifeless state.
But...
A strange kind of joy emerged from the bottom of his heart.
An irrepressible joy.
Though clearly loathed in his heart, but upon feeling the real presence of the child, his heart suddenly softened.
"Little thing, so eager to come to the Mortal World to see the scene? Grow slower, slower..."
He gently caressed the little thing beneath the thin skin, tears like pearls fell from his reddened eyes, dripping onto the little darling’s belly...
