Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling In Love With You Chapter 324 - Little Chenyan, I Would Be Really Happy If It Was a Girl

Chapter 324: Little Chenyan, I Would Be Really Happy If It Was a Girl

The grumpy look remained on Yuan Xuan’s face while Yuan Tian was still here. He seemed frighteningly stern.

The man’s arrogant expression fell at once when Yuan Tian left. He jumped on the bed and crawled next to Mu Chenyan. He was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with antic.i.p.ation and uneasiness when his trembling hands stroked her belly that was still flat and taut.

He had not painstakingly planted his seeds in vain!

“Little Chenyan, I’d be really happy if it was a girl!”

Mu Chenyan blushed when those words escaped Yuan Xuan’s lips. She had always a.s.sumed that he wanted a son.

“Why do you want it to be a girl?”

Frankly, Mu Chenyan did not have any preference for either s.e.x. If she was really pregnant, she would already love the baby simply because it was her own child.

“Because I can’t stand the cold during winter!” Yuan Xuan’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e, but it could not hide his excitement.

Mu Chenyan could not think of a reply.

What did the s.e.x of their baby have anything to do with him dreading the cold?

“Didn’t you know that daughters stick close to their parents like little quilted jackets? If you give birth to a baby girl, my daughter will continue to wrap her arms around my neck when I’m 60 years old. She’ll even ask me if I want to buy a pair of warm shoes! Were you hoping for a son? That little brat will try to steal you from me. I can’t bear to let you sleep next to another male. He’s also going to suckle this part of you!”

Yuan Xuan sounded rather jealous when he spoke about having a son. He even poked Mu Chenyan’s chest with his finger…

d.a.m.n, she had never met someone who would be jealous of their own son!

This was too unreasonable.

Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows and pushed his large hands away. She glared at him and muttered, “You’re so immature!”

Yuan Xuan was not annoyed. Rather, he was quite pleased. He seemed to be carried away by the joy of being a father for the first time.

“Nothing has been confirmed yet. Let’s sleep earlier tonight. According to Big Tian, we can only be sure after the checkup at the hospital tomorrow morning.”

Mu Chenyan pulled the blanket over her and laid down. She was not tired at all actually since she had spent the entire afternoon sleeping. Moreover, this unexpected discovery and all her other worries would definitely make it difficult for her to fall asleep!

Yuan Xuan was in a similar predicament. After tossing and turning in bed, he decided to just get up and go to the balcony. He took out a cigarette, but he put it back immediately when he remembered that his home should be completely free of the smell of smoke from now on.

A short while later, the couple went downstairs to drink some water and then went up to shower. Yuan Xuan made Mu Chenyan a bowl of noodles when she finally got hungry. Both of them went outside to walk around in the garden when Mu Chenyan felt too full after the meal…

Oh my, it was already one o’clock in the morning when they finally crawled under the covers and prepared to sleep…

The next day, Yuan Xuan woke up bright and early while Mu Chenyan lazed around in bed for awhile. She was nearly stunned by the scene before her when she went downstairs after was.h.i.+ng up.

Yuan Xuan was standing in the kitchen. He was dressed in a thin pale V-neck sweater and a pair of long dark pants. He had matched these two pieces of clothing together without much thought. He looked elegant despite wearing the most casual of clothing. Most importantly, this man was currently cooking at home.

Yes, he was certainly cooking!

“Mistress, you’re finally here. Look, the Young Master has cooked all this delicious food for you.”

This was the first time Ah Fu had witnessed Yuan Xuan cooking. There were traces of admiration and amazement in her tone.

Mu Chenyan noticed that several bright colored seasonal vegetable side dishes were already placed on the table. He had chosen a good range of colors. There were red and yellow bell peppers, fresh green spinach, orange carrots, and white potato strips…

He had also fried two hairtail fish until they turned a beautiful golden-brown. She wondered how he had cooked them until there was pungent smell of fish at all left.

There was also a bowl of steamed egg custard. He had sprinkled spring onions and coriander on it, making it look extremely appealing.

“When did you learn how to cook?” Mu Chenyan looked on in surprised when Yuan Xuan came out of the kitchen. He was carrying a bowl of herbal chicken soup and a vegetarian fried fungus dish.

“Every husband knows how to cook,” Yuan Xuan said dryly. One could not know from the way he spoke how long had he waited for this day to arrive.

Yuan Xuan was a person who did everything seriously. Naturally, he would have done a lot of preparation before he started cooking because of his meticulous and patient personality. He had read the recipes dozens of times…

His food tasted delicious and looked very appetizing as well. This made Mu Chenyan doubted her own abilities now.

Cooking was supposed to be a carefree task. Why did Yuan Xuan have to write lengthy notes just to do this?

“Why didn’t I know about this before?”

“You and Ah Fu refused to let me handle this in the past!” This is the complain filed by a naturally talented cook!

“Are you only showing off because I’m pregnant?”

Mu Chenyan became envious when she realized this. He was apparently only doing this for his daughter…

“If you agree, the kitchen will be my domain in the future. I’ll put up a fight against anyone who enters!”

The handsome man was joking around in a natural manner. He looked really attractive then.

Ah Fu was also amused by the Young Master’s adorable behavior. Would that mean that she would be laid off in the future?

That was not right!

Their household would definitely become busier with the addition of a little prince or princess…

Yuan Xuan reached out and ladled a bowl of chicken soup for Mu Chenyan. His expression was indifferent. “Does it taste pungent?”

Mu Chenyan tasted it. It was delicious, but she had trouble digesting greasy food now, so she only drank a few sips of the soup. Though she did ate a lot of the a.s.sorted seasonal vegetable side dishes and stir fried fungus.

Mu Chenyan changed into a new set of clothes once she had finished eating. Then, Yuan Xuan drove her to the military hospital.

They did not have to line up because their family owned the hospital. Mu Chenyan started complaining after they took her blood. “Yuan Tian told me to come on an empty stomach. I can’t do the rest of the tests now…”

Yuan Xuan smiled. This woman was devouring the food with a big smile earlier and had only recalled Yuan Tian’s order right now.

It was agonizing wait. Mu Chenyan could not decide whether she felt excited or uneasy.

Honestly, she was not mentally prepared to have a baby. It was just all too sudden.

She could never leave Yuan Xuan if they had this child.

She had yet to discover the truth about the grudges between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family, but had somehow gotten herself pregnant with the descendant of the Yuan Family…

She decided not to think so far ahead.

This baby would be a child of the Yuan Family, but it would also be Mu Chenyan’s child. Yuan Tian had said that every child was a part of their parent’s destiny!

“Mu Chenyan?”

The young nurse stood at the doorway and called for her. Yuan Xuan walked over from the VIP lane and took the laboratory test report from the nurse. This was her first time seeing a father who was as handsome as Yuan Xuan.

“Her human chorionic gonadotropin levels are very high. Congratulations, your wife is pregnant…”

The young nurse glanced at the expectant mother when she said this. She thought, ‘They’re really a match made in heaven!’

Yuan Xuan’s hands began to shake as he walked toward Mu Chenyan with the report. It was as if he was feeling every emotion known to humans all at once. “Thank you, Little Chenyan!”

He lowered his head as he spoke and sealed his lips tightly with Mu Chenyan’s cherry-colored ones…

The couple kissed as though they were the only people there. The other pregnant women around them cried out in surprise.

“Look at them. That’s so romantic!”

“Wow, what a loving father!”

“This child will definitely be born with good genes…”

“Oh, that’s so touching. I’m going to cry…”

The comments from the crowd made Mu Chenyan blush. She broke free from Yuan Xuan’s clutches and reprimanded him in a small voice, “This is so embarra.s.sing…”

“I don’t mind!” This man who had just been told that he was about to become a father had ceased to be cold and restrained. On the contrary, he was extremely excited!

A highly experienced obstetrician consoled Mu Chenyan and informed her that drinking alcohol would not affect the baby terribly. The lab report wrote that Mu Chenyan was over fifty days pregnant.

“Pay attention to your health and get more rest when you go home. You can’t have s.e.x during the first three months…”

Yuan Xuan paid extra attention to the last thing that the doctor said.

“I’m going to cook for you tonight. You’re too skinny!”

Yuan Xuan sighed while he made those plans. “Do I really have to hold back for three months?”

Mu Chenyan did not bother to give him a response.
