After returning ho, I still decided to follow the old traditional doctor’s advice and try his pregnancy-soothing prescription.
After taking it for a few days, Wu Xiaoli was pleasantly surprised to find that her physical condition had improved a lot.
The discomfort she had experienced due to pregnancy had almost all disappeared.
"It’s really amazing." Wu Xiaoli whispered quietly while lying beside Sun Dasheng on the big bed, "Could he really be serving those people."
"Don’t say things like that so casually in the future." Sun Dasheng tapped her head.
"Ouch, I know." Wu Xiaoli playfully whined.
Almost made Sun Dasheng sprain his lower back.
Even after being together for so long, she still had this side?
It was really quite refreshing.
Looking at her face, which was getting more youthful and beautiful, Sun Dasheng couldn’t help pinching her cheek, "What kind of elixir are you taking? How co you seem younger than when I first t you?"
"Really? I haven’t noticed." Wu Xiaoli was also a bit curious.
Because of the child, not to ntion makeup, she seldom even used skincare products at ho, fearing these chemicals might have side effects on the child, even if they’re harmless to adults.
"Talk about an elixir, I hardly use skincare products at all," Wu Xiaoli said.
"Really? Then that’s strange, you seem to have a bit of a rejuvenation vibe, could it be a genetic thing."
Actually, a flash of inspiration just crossed Sun Dasheng’s mind, reminding him of sothing.
But he imdiately steered the conversation in another direction.
Rejuvenation, although rare, does happen.
There are quite a few people like that in the entertainnt industry, such as the host He Jiong and Golden Turtle.
Among actors, there’s also the evergreen male god: Lin Zhiying.
"Genes? Does our family have such genes?" Wu Xiaoli expressed doubt.
She had never heard of such a gene in her family.
She began to recall her relatives, even distant ones who were barely related, but she shook her head affirmatively after thinking it over: "No one in my family line has ever shown this."
Sun Dasheng pinched her nose, saying, "That’s because the family’s conditions weren’t great back then. Even if soone had that gene, they’d have to be pampered by like you are to show it. Otherwise, if you’re out in the fields under the sun and wind every day, how would it manifest?"
"That’s true." Wu Xiaoli was convinced by his words.
Because his reasoning was quite sound.
"I hope our baby can inherit this gene too," Wu Xiaoli said, hugging his arm with delight.
"Of course, haven’t you noticed how An’an, at just over a year old, is already a little beauty, all thanks to your excellent genes?"
Sun Dasheng showered complints generously.
Making Wu Xiaoli laugh out loud.
Suddenly, feeling whimsical, she whispered sothing in his ear.
Sun Dasheng’s expression beca peculiar, "Aren’t you usually unwilling to do that?"
"Well, do you want it or not?" Wu Xiaoli pleaded playfully.
"Alright, but be careful." Sun Dasheng advised.
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of my body."
.....
A perfect experience.
The next day.
The family of three planned to go to Disneyland.
It wasn’t the little one who wanted to go, but Sun Dasheng wanted to take her.
Because since she was born, he hadn’t taken her to an amusent park yet, truly an irresponsible dad.
Now, with less work requiring his attention, he’s focusing more on family life.
Disneyland.
An’an delightedly sat on her father’s shoulders, swinging her arms and legs.
Today was her happiest day.
Not only did she eat a lot of delicious things, but she also played with many fun things.
Even though she didn’t know what those things were, she just knew they were good.
"Daddy, I want that." An’an pointed to a stall selling candy figurines.
Sun Dasheng was curious: "Do they sell this here?"
Wu Xiaoli rarely ca here, so she wasn’t sure, and she said, "An’an, we shouldn’t eat that, how about we eat sothing else?"
She thought the little one wanted to eat it.
She was worried that it might not be very hygienic, after all, the old man making the sugar figurines wasn’t wearing disposable gloves; he was just using his hands.
But unexpectedly, An’an shook her head: "Mom, I want to play, not eat."
"Play?" This took Wu Xiaoli by surprise.
Sun Dasheng glanced over and instantly understood the little one’s thoughts, smiling at Wu Xiaoli, he said: "Have you been letting her watch cartoons at ho?"
"How did you know?" Wu Xiaoli said in surprise, "I noticed she was quite interested in cartoons, so I let her watch Journey to the West. I don’t let her watch those ssy ones, so she can appreciate traditional culture from a young age."
"Then it’s not surprising. See what the old man is molding?" Sun Dasheng hinted.
Wu Xiaoli looked closely and suddenly realized: "It’s Sun Wukong."
"Does An’an want to play with the Sun Wukong sugar figurine?" she asked in a child’s tone.
"Yes, mom," An’an nodded happily.
Finally, the two adults understood what she was talking about.
"How much is the sugar figurine?" Sun Dasheng walked over and asked.
"Eighty-eight!" the old man replied.
"How much?" Sun Dasheng was in disbelief.
Have prices beco this outrageous nowadays?
It wasn’t much related to whether he could afford it, but he paid the man, only lanting that the term "Shanghai Coin" was spot on.
The prices here are much higher than in other places.
"Here you go!" Sun Dasheng paid and handed the Sun Wukong sugar figurine to An’an, who was sitting on his shoulder.
An’an waved the sugar figurine around happily, shouting: Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
After a day at the amusent park, they were a bit tired, and Sun Dasheng took his daughter to find a restaurant to sit and have so tea.
They also ordered a fruit plate.
But now, little An’an didn’t have an appetite.
It wasn’t that she didn’t like to eat; she had just eaten too much along the way.
"If you can’t eat, don’t. It’s not good for kids to eat too much, they can’t digest well," Sun Dasheng cuddled her and patted her to coax her to sleep.
Wu Xiaoli looked at her with motherly affection and said: "This child usually takes a nap in the afternoon. Today, she was having fun with you that she forgot to nap."
"She must have been too happy," Wu Xiaoli said with a smile.
"It’s her first ti going out to play with dad."
Sun Dasheng caught the implied aning in her words, reached out to hold her hand, and said: "Don’t worry, I have less work now, so I’ll have more ti to spend with you both."
"Really? It won’t affect the company?" Hearing this good news, Wu Xiaoli was a bit happy but also worried.
"No, I’ve arranged for trustworthy people to manage the company affairs, I’ve significantly reduced the amount of work I handle personally, leaving more ti for family, which I’ve always wanted to do, but only recently made it happen."
"You’ve been handling everything at ho alone lately, it’s been hard on you."
Sun Dasheng’s sudden sweet words made Wu Xiaoli, who has long been a wife, blush.
"Not really, it isn’t too hard. You’re working hard outside for the family, too," Wu Xiaoli comforted him in return.
This made Sun Dasheng very emotional; it’s only when he’s with her that he can set aside money, status, and everything else, and it’s just the two of them purely in love.
That feeling is really quite wonderful.
Back then, their getting together was the most awkward process among all the won.
But now, she’s indeed most devoted to him.
If he suddenly beca penniless, losing all money and status, turning back to that guy working like a horse for the company...
The only one who might stay with him without leaving would be her.
"An’an is asleep; shall we head back?" Sun Dasheng suggested.
Wu Xiaoli reached out: "Let hold the child, you’ve been holding her all day, you must be tired."
"No need, look how tightly she’s holding on; you probably can’t carry her either," Sun Dasheng pointed to his arm.
Wu Xiaoli laughed instantly when she saw the drool on his sleeve: "This child’s drooling in her sleep, she usually doesn’t do that."
"Maybe it’s because she ate too much today," Sun Dasheng petted her cute little head lovingly and said.
