Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Zhilan is Pregnant

He Zhilan let out two chuckles from the bed, “Got too hot in the middle of the night.”

“The elders say pregnant won are resilient to cold, but I’ve never seen soone as unafraid of it as you. What season is it now? You wear less than others during the day, and at night you still find it warm?” Xiaojia laughed, “Pregnant won sure are fascinating creatures. So, how did you sleep last night?”

Two months after He Teng left, He Zhilan discovered she was pregnant. The one who examined her was a local healer from the village. Afterward, worrying that the kids in the village might kick her belly while sleeping at night, He Zhilan started sleeping alone in a separate room.

By this ti, the child in He Zhilan’s belly was already over three months old. But because she was naturally thin, once she put on a coat, she still looked as slender as a young girl.

The only noticeable difference from when she first arrived was that her face had clearly grown rounder, and her appetite had increased significantly.

“Winter clothing?” He Zhilan said, “By winter, my belly will definitely start showing. Just bring a few warm, larger coats and sweaters, that’ll do!”

Chatting with Xiaojia, He Zhilan seed much more energetic. She sat up, casually tossed on a jacket, and said, “Honestly, this child is really well-behaved. He must know it’s not easy for his mom to carry him, and with his dad not around, he never gives any trouble.”

“You’re absolutely right!” Xiaojia covered her mouth, laughing. “Many of the newlywed won in the village throw up terribly at your stage. But look at you, not a hint of discomfort! You just crave sour food, but your appetite is fantastic. Still, this child is already three months old, and Big Brother He doesn’t even know he’s about to beco a father! Who knows if he might not find out until after the baby’s born!”

“Maybe,” He Zhilan shrugged, “But with my brother not here, at least now I have a child for company. Life’s actually beco quite fulfilling and lively.”

Ever since He Teng left, He Zhilan had not taken a single step out of the village. Everything she needed was brought back by the villagers whenever they went down the mountain. Over ti, it beca a habit — anyone about to leave the village would first ask He Zhilan if she needed anything.

After He Zhilan got pregnant, the villagers gave her many things, treating her as one of their own.

However, to be cautious, ever since He Teng left, He Zhilan never contacted him again. Because of this, He Teng still didn’t know he was going to be a father.

“If my brother takes years to co pick up, I wonder if he’ll be shocked to see a child by my side. Would he think I married soone else?” He Zhilan joked.

“Absolutely not! Big Brother He wouldn’t fail to recognize his own child. Besides, the bond between you two is so strong, why would his mind even go there? The mont he sees the child, he’ll just know — this is his baby.” Xiaojia burst out laughing at He Zhilan’s joke and reached out to gently touch her barely noticeable belly. “You’ve been eating a lot these days, so why hasn’t this baby grown bigger? Zhilan, do you hope it’s a boy or a girl?”

“Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter. They’re both my children, and I’ll love them just the sa.” He Zhilan gave a smile brimming with maternal affection. “I’ve been longing for a child for so long. This ti, I’ll do everything to protect this little one.”

“As if you even need to say that! Everyone in the village will be here to look after you and the baby.” Reluctantly withdrawing her hand, Xiaojia added, “It’s still early. You should sleep a bit longer. Once I’ve made breakfast, I’ll co back to wake you.”
