Chapter 150: I Love You More, Mom

That evening, Sui Yi learned the news and brought Tang to the hospital. She first inquired about Tang's health and then scolded Wen Qi, saying that his wife was pregnant and he was still so careless.

Wen Qi remained silent and took the scolding in silence.

Ji Xian was hospitalized for three days and received glucose injections for two days. Sui Yi personally delivered his meals to him every day. When he was discharged on the third day, his complexion had improved somewhat.

Ji Xian initially took leave, but her pregnancy symptoms were really severe. The baby in her belly was a little troublemaker, making her vomit whatever she ate, especially the slightest smell of oil.

Sometimes even drinking water is like this.

Two months into her pregnancy, her weight didn't increase; in fact, it decreased. Wen Qi was heartbroken to see this, and sometimes he would even sternly lecture the unborn child in her belly.

“Your mother went through enough hardship carrying you, so you’re not allowed to bully her like this anymore. Otherwise, I’ll spank you when you’re born, and I’ll write it all down in my notebook.”

Ji Xian found it ridiculous and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What's the point of talking to him now? People usually start prenatal education six or seven months later. You're even writing it down for him. Aren't you afraid he'll cry the loudest when he comes out?"

Wen Qi frowned slightly and pulled her into his arms. "Are you feeling better now? Do you still feel nauseous?"

"much better."

She had thought that her morning sickness would subside after three months, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.

Ji Xian's pregnancy symptoms continued until she was five months pregnant.

She didn't go back to Jialing Town for the Chinese New Year. When her second uncle and aunt found out she was pregnant, Ji Nian came to Beijing as soon as she had a holiday. After the New Year, her second uncle, Ji Heng, and Ji Nian went back first, while her second aunt stayed to take care of her until she gave birth and finished her postpartum confinement.

Throughout her pregnancy, she was treated like a national treasure and was very well protected.

Wen Qi would also have breakfast and dinner with her every day, and he even had fewer social engagements.

She had originally requested leave, but due to severe morning sickness and the baby being too much of a hassle, not only was Wen Qi worried about her going back to work, but Ji Xian also didn't dare to take the risk. So after taking leave for more than a month, she felt it was inappropriate to keep taking leave until maternity leave, and resigned.

Xiao Guxing even called her to express his sincere congratulations after learning of her pregnancy, saying that he could keep her position and that she could come back anytime.

Ji Xian was unwilling to take advantage of the situation, so he politely declined. Xiao Guxing did not try to persuade him to stay, saying that he had to be invited to the baby's one-month celebration after the baby was born.

Ji Xian readily agreed.

Her due date was July 12th. She was admitted to the hospital two days before her due date, but there was no sign of labor until July 15th. It wasn't until July 18th that she started bleeding.

Although pregnancy can be a bit of a hassle, thankfully the delivery went smoothly. From spotting to the check-up to delivery, it only took a little over three hours.

This shows that the child is eager to come out and see his/her parents.

"8:08 PM, female, weight 3 kilograms."

The little one kept crying. After the nurse dressed her, she brought her to Ji Xian to see. She was pink and soft. Ji Xian smiled, her face full of happiness, and gently touched the little one's forehead.

The little one miraculously stopped crying.

When she was wheeled out of the delivery room, Wen Qi rushed over immediately. Without even glancing at the baby, he took Ji Xian's hand and tenderly stroked her forehead.

"Honey, thank you for your hard work."

Ji Xian smiled and urged, "Have you seen the baby? She's so tiny and cute, you should hold her."

Wen Qi smiled and said, "No rush, Mom and Dad are fighting over who can hold you. I'll take you back to your room first."

Later, Wen Qi named the child Wen Yayi, with the nickname Zhizhi.

Ji Xian gradually realized that this guy was a hidden doting father to his daughter, and sometimes he would even childishly compete with Wen Jingyan for a hug.

Ji Xian broke the Wen family's tradition of only having sons, and Zhi Zhi was destined to be pampered from birth.

Zhizhi is naturally lively, and it's unclear who she takes after. She can't sit still at all, loves to act cute, and has a sweet tongue. Wen Jingyan and his wife are often charmed by her.

Ji Xian often wondered if they had been switched at birth in the hospital.

In addition, Wen Qi spoiled her quite a bit; she became the little tyrant of the family even before she was three years old.

But the premise for indulging her is that Zhizhi doesn't provoke Ji Xian.

Around the age of three, Zhizhi understood a principle: in their family, her mother was always the boss, and her father loved her mother more than he loved her.

Once, Zhizhi saw Ji Xian putting on makeup, and her curiosity got the better of her. She secretly took Ji Xian's lipstick and smeared it all over her face, making a mess of the floor and bed sheets. She also broke the bottle of anniversary-customized perfume that Wen Qi had given to Ji Xian.

Ji Xian was very angry and made her stand in the corner to reflect on her actions.

Zhizhi knows that her father and grandparents love her very much, but she is a little afraid of her mother. Whenever she hears that her mother is angry, she pouts and tries to act cute.

But Ji Xuan wasn't buying it at all.

She kept a straight face and said, "Didn't your mother tell you that you're not allowed to touch these things? And you can't draw on the floor; you have to use drawing paper."

When Wen Qi came home from get off work, he saw his daughter being scolded. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw her face covered in lipstick. Zhi Zhi immediately changed her tune, opening her arms to him and pouting as if she was about to cry.

"Daddy hugs."

Wen Qi couldn't resist the little girl's coquettish charm. He looked soft-hearted, picked her up, and said to Ji Xian, "She's still young, you..." Ji Xian's cold and indifferent gaze swept over him, stopping him in his tracks.

Ji Xuan stood up and asked lightly, "Are you trying to say that I was too serious with her?"

"No, no, no." Wen Qi immediately denied it three times in a row, put the little girl down, put away his smile, and said seriously, "Although she is only three years old, it is time to start teaching her. If you let it go easily this time, she will do it again next time. Go, stand there."

Zhizhi: "..."

Dad, are you a lizard?
Could this face-changing speed be any faster?

Ji Xuan remained expressionless. "Your daughter, you teach her yourself, and while you're at it, make sure she cleans up this mess. If she doesn't, she's not allowed to eat dinner!"

"..."

Wen Qiyou looked at her daughter, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and sighed helplessly.

You little brat, you made me have to go and coax your mother.

Holding a wet wipe, Zhizhi diligently wiped the lipstick off the floor with her chubby little hands, puffed out her cheeks, and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, are you afraid of Mommy?"

Wen Qi paused, then nodded frankly, "Yes, I'm scared."

"why?"

"Aren't you afraid of your mother?"

"afraid."

“Dad is also afraid that she will get angry and then abandon me,” Wen Qi said. “Your mother is someone I went through a lot of trouble to win back, and I don’t want her to suffer any grievances, including the grievances you cause her.”

"I understand your meaning!"

Wen Qi called the little girl by her full name, one of the few times he did so, "Don't make your mother angry in the future, understand?"

Wen Yayi pouted, looking very aggrieved, "Dad, don't you love me anymore?"

"Yes, of course I love you, but Dad loves your mom even more. Your mom has had a tough time, and she loves you very much. She works so hard taking care of you, so you have to love her too, okay?"

It took the father and daughter almost an hour to tidy up the house.

Zhizhi tried to slack off several times, but Wen Qi always managed to get her up. In the end, the father and daughter were able to have dinner as they wished.

After the little girl turned three, Ji Xian was found to be pregnant again, and later gave birth to a son.

Wen Qi named him 'Wen Zhuo', without giving him a nickname.

This time, Ji Xian no longer doubted whether the baby had been switched at birth, because the son looked exactly like the one from the Wen family.

Ji Xian was very relaxed from the beginning of his pregnancy. After he was born, he didn't cry much, was very obedient, and had a strong learning ability. Even at just over one year old, he already showed a calm and composed temperament.

His facial features were very similar to Wen Qi's, and his personality became even more pronounced after he turned three.

At that time, Wen Jingyan had already retired, and the burden of the entire Wen Group fell on Wen Qi alone. Ji Xuan returned to his side as his secretary, while the two little ones often lived in the old house, taken care of by Sui Yi and Wen Jingyan.

Especially his youngest son, Wen Jingyan often took him to practice calligraphy and play chess, and occasionally he would present him with some rather complex questions about human nature.

Every time Sui Yi saw it, she couldn't help but want to hit him, saying that he was only six years old and asked such profound questions, and that he wanted to bring another Wen Qi out, didn't he?

But Wen Zhuo and Wen Qi are indeed different. Because of Ji Xian, he still retains a trace of childlike innocence and joy, unlike Wen Qi who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge all day long when he was a child.

He loves camping, Transformers, and is very expressive. He can express what he wants, whether it's playing chess or ball with his dad, or hugging and kissing his mom.

He grew up in an environment filled with clear and obvious love.

If there's one thing that's been unpleasant about his life, it's his sister, Wen Yayi.

Compared to Wen Yayi's carefree nature, Wen Zhuo is a very planned, logical, and opinionated person. Because Wen Yayi is beautiful and eye-catching, she has been receiving love letters since junior high school.

Just like Wen Qi, Wen Zhuo had the mentality of an "old father," fearing that she would be taken advantage of by some scoundrel. He took every precaution and often asked Lu Yang, who was two years older and twice as tall as Wen Ya Yi, to help keep an eye on her.

Lu Yang is the son of Lu Xuming and Yin Qianran. Although the three are of different ages, they often meet and play together, and are very close.

But in the end, they couldn't prevent it, and inexplicably brought Lu Yang and Wen Yayi together.

They went to high school together, got into the same university, and their relationship progressed naturally to marriage.

Before Wen Yayi got married, Wen Qi couldn't sleep all night. Ji Xian patted his back and comforted him, "Your daughter will always be your daughter. She's just getting married, it's not like she's never coming back."

"I know, I just feel like something's missing in my heart, an emptiness, and I'm not feeling well." He sighed softly, pulled Ji Xian into his arms, and said reassuringly, "It's okay, I have you by my side."

"Alright, you're getting on in years, go to sleep!" Ji Xian scoffed, slapped his hand away, and gave him a disdainful look.

Wen Qi hugged her again and kissed her on the cheek. "So what if we're an old married couple? I still want to hug you."
