It was already an hour later when Chen Xinyu erged from the bathroom, her face flushed, leaning against the wall and stumbling as she walked into the room.
Shen Yuan looked at her back and shook his head… Little Xinyu's stamina was still too weak; she really needed to do more aerobic exercise when she had free ti.
He watched as Chen Xinyu made it safely into her bedroom, put on her pajamas, and then walked into Chen Na's bedroom.
The only light in the room was the bedside lamp. Chen Na was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard and reading a book. The warm, dim light lent her face a soft and gentle glow.
At this stage, Nana's belly was already rounded, her hips had widened, and her face had beco fuller.
This added fullness surprisingly gave Chen Na more of a "married woman charm," and paired with her focused reading expression, there was undeniably a hint of the "wife and mother" vibe.
When Chen Na saw Shen Yuan co in, she blinked and teased him, "Not staying in Xinyu's room?"
Shen Yuan shook his head and sat down next to Chen Na, "Of course, I have to accompany my Nana."
Chen Na smiled knowingly without pointing it out. She raised the book in her hands and said, "It's a parenting book. I'm about to beco a mom, and I'm really worried I won't be able to bring up the child well."
Shen Yuan laughed, "When we were kids, our parents didn't read these kinds of things or have any sense of education, yet we still grew up fine."
"Tis were different then. Back then, people had just crossed the subsistence line, and that's how everyone raised children at the ti."
Chen Na whispered, "But now it's different. Nowadays, people emphasize thod, scientific parenting. I just hope the baby's personality and habits will turn out better because of it."
"Don't overthink it or worry too much. As long as they grow up healthy and safe, that's all that matters."
Shen Yuan put an arm around Chen Na's shoulder and said, "Anyhow, with their dad around, our kids don't need to work hard. They just need to enjoy life."
He was already planning to set up a trust fund for each of the kids. As long as they didn't squander it, they'd have enough to live well for their entire lives.
"Mm-hmm."
Chen Na gently leaned her head on Shen Yuan's shoulder and asked, "What about the baby's na? Have you thought of one yet?"
Shen Yuan chuckled, "If it's a boy, he'll be Shen Tiedan. If it's a girl, she'll be Shen Yadan. How about that?"
Chen Na, displeased, gave Shen Yuan a playful punch, "Who nas their kids like that anymore?"
"Haha, just joking. I'll let my dad pick. He's got nothing to do most of the ti anyway, so it's perfect for him to co up with nas."
Shen Yuan intended to have Old Shen co up with a couple of nas at once, so if they had more kids later, they could use them directly.
"Whatever you say."
Chen Na touched her belly and asked, "Do you think I've gotten fat? I plan to start losing weight after the postpartum recovery period."
Shen Yuan gave her an appraising look from top to bottom, "What fat? You look fine."
"No way. I've gained so much more weight than before the pregnancy."
Chen Na pouted, "If I didn't worry about the baby's nutrition, I'd have wanted to cut down on sugar and carbs."
Shen Yuan smirked, "That's why it's better this way. Too skinny, and it's uncomfortable."
Being an experienced "driver" who had "operated" over a dozen different "models," Shen Yuan knew very well that overly slim won weren't suited for long-term "driving." A bit of fleshy padding made for better cushioning during "piston movents."
Chen Na's cheeks flushed red, "You're terrible."
"Terrible people should do a checkup. Co, let take a look."
"No way."
Chen Na stretched out her hands to block Shen Yuan's invading hand.
But how could her small hands resist the experienced Shen Yuan? After pretending to be unsuccessful with a few moves, he suddenly used his "dragon claw technique" to touch the soft fullness of Chen Na's rounded figure.
"Definitely bigger."
Shen Yuan took a mont to feel it. It was already comparable to Xinyu's size.
Another month from now, it might even surpass Xinyu's.
Was this so kind of "second puberty"? Clearly, the Chen family genes were reliable—all the nourishnt had just gone to Chen Na's thighs.
Chen Na's cheeks turned crimson, "It's normal in the later stages of pregnancy."
"And what about after delivery?"
Chen Na beca more bashful, "During breastfeeding… they'll definitely grow larger because of the milk."
"Haha, if the baby doesn't drink it all, I can help you out."
Chen Na was completely mortified, "Don't be ridiculous, it tickles."
"Alright then."
Shen Yuan withdrew his hands, "Let's hope they stay this size even after breastfeeding."
Chen Na smoothed out her sleepwear and said, "You should go to Xinyu's room. I'm already happy you ca tonight; you don't have to keep company all night."
She knew Shen Yuan didn't want her to feel lonely, but she had a good mindset and was aware that Shen Yuan had his "needs."
Since she couldn't help him herself, she felt it was a bit of a burden on her younger sister to step in.
However, once the baby was born, she planned to restore her pre-pregnancy figure. As a woman, she was always worried about losing her allure to her husband.
So considerate it made your heart ache… Shen Yuan pinched her cheek, "Xinyu still needs to recover a bit; I'll go over later, it's not urgent."
Chen Na said, "Xinyu is still young; don't be too rough on her."
"Relax, I know my limits. She's not as fragile as you make her out to be."
Though Xinyu might seem so gentle and reserved most of the ti, in certain monts, she was far more uninhibited than her elder sister.
....
Half an hour later, Shen Yuan returned to Chen Xinyu's room. The pink, girly bedroom still carried a faintly sweet fragrance. The air was cooler; apparently, Chen Xinyu had set the air conditioner to 23 degrees.
Both sisters were very thoughtful—they knew they'd be sweating later, so they turned on the air conditioner in advance.
At this mont, poor Chen Xinyu was curled up on the bed, softly muttering, "Brother-in-law, you're back."
"Yes, are you feeling better?"
Shen Yuan deftly slid under the covers, feeling the warmth inside, and touched her nose teasingly, "Are you silly? You could've waited for to co before turning on the air conditioner. Putting it on so early, weren't you cold?"
"Curled up in the blanket, it wasn't so bad."
Chen Xinyu said timidly, "Is my sister asleep?"
"Almost. She's reading a bit more before going to bed."
Shen Yuan pulled her into his arms, sliding a hand into her pajamas from her shoulder, and said while noting the difference compared to Chen Na, "You sisters are as close as ever. Your sister told to co to your room, and here you are worried she hasn't fallen asleep yet."
