Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 181 "Awan, I've come to see you."

After a good night's sleep, Gu Jianing felt refreshed and relaxed.

Indeed, sleep is also a source of life.

Sheng Zexi was no longer by my side; I didn't know when he had gotten up.

"You're awake." Sheng Zexi appeared at the door, seemingly having heard the noise.

As Gu Jianing was about to get up, Sheng Zexi quickly came over and helped her to her feet.

Since Gu Jianing became more pregnant, it has become more difficult for her to get out of bed or lie down.

However, whenever Sheng Zexi was around, he would come to help him up every time.

Now, he's quite skilled at it.

The movements were also very gentle.

Gu Jianing felt a warmth in her heart. Sometimes, loving someone is reflected in these little details of life.

As her pregnancy progressed, she went to the toilet more frequently.

She used to be able to sleep through the night, but not anymore; she has to get up at night to use the bathroom.

Every time she moves, Sheng Zexi wakes up and accompanies her to the toilet.

The toilet is in the yard, so you have to walk a bit.

Sheng Zexi was worried that it wouldn't be safe for her to get up alone at night.

So he always stayed with me. Sometimes I would get up two or three times in the night, and he would stay with me two or three times.

Gu Jianing felt sorry for him having to get up early for training the next day, so she initially refused.

But Sheng Zexi insisted.

"It's not uncommon for me to go on missions for days and nights without sleep."

"Walking with you to the bathroom won't bother me."

"I'll only worry if I don't go with you."

"And you, being pregnant, are the one who suffers the most."

What was Gu Jianing thinking when she heard those words?

She thought, perhaps this is why a woman would want to have a child? She thought, the most fundamental reason is probably that the father loves the mother.

And what is love? Love is cherishing, protecting, feeling indebted, feeling that you are not good enough, and wanting to be even better to her.

Gu Jianing thought that most women actually need love, whether it's romantic love, familial love, or friendship. This love is like nourishing a flower, helping it grow into a better version of itself.

This is probably the best explanation for the saying: "Loving someone is like growing a flower."

Sheng Zexi helped Gu Jianing up, then brought her clothes to wear before leading her out of the room.

At this moment, Grandpa Sang had already returned.

When he heard Gu Jianing sweetly call him "Grandpa," the old man nodded repeatedly and said "okay," and also repeatedly told Sheng Zexi to take good care of Gu Jianing.

The Sang family does have a nanny, who was specifically assigned to Sang's maternal grandfather because of his status and age.

By now, the nanny had already prepared dinner.

"Ning girl, have a taste. Aunt Zhao is a very good cook. She has experience taking care of pregnant women before and has made some dishes that are suitable for you," Grandma Sang said warmly.

"it is good."

At the dinner table, Grandpa and Grandma Sang kept putting food on Gu Jianing's plate, afraid that she wouldn't dare to eat.

Gu Jianing returned the favor by serving some to the elderly couple, who were both delighted with smiles on their faces.

Only Sheng Zexi, watching this scene, was both amused and exasperated: it seemed like Ningning was the maternal grandparents' beloved granddaughter, while he, the real grandson, was probably adopted.

However, seeing how well Ningning gets along with her maternal grandparents is quite touching.

Seeing how much his maternal grandparents doted on Ningning, Sheng Zexi felt even happier than if they had doted on him.

After dinner, Sheng Zexi jokingly complained to Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing glared at him playfully, "I don't believe you don't know."

Sheng Zexi: "What do you know?"

"Now I know why my grandparents were so good to me."

"Then what do you say it is?" "Of course, it's loving the house because of its owner."

Sheng Zexi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Yes, it was indeed a case of loving the house because of its owner.

The following day was the anniversary of Sang Yuwan's death.

Sheng Zexi, along with Gu Jianing, her maternal grandparents, and offerings, arrived at Sang Yuwan's grave.

Gu Jianing looked at the photo on the tombstone. It was a small black and white photo, but you could still clearly see the outline of Sang Yuwan's face.

Without a doubt, her mother-in-law was a beauty in her youth.

It's a pity that the beauty is ill-fated.

Because the elderly couple comes here often, they keep the place very clean.

At this moment, Sheng Zexi also took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tombstone.

"Mom, it's me, Xiaoxi. I've come to see you."

"I'm married, you have a daughter-in-law now."

"Her name is Gu Jianing. She's just as beautiful as you. She's also very kind and brave."

"We're also expecting a baby, and in a few months, our two babies will be born."

"Mom, you'll be happy for me, right?"

"If you are watching over us from heaven, please bless me, Ningning, and my grandparents so that we may all be safe and healthy."

Sheng Zexi murmured, saying a lot.

His expression remained calm, but Gu Jianing, who knew him well, could see the longing and fleeting sadness in his eyes.

Grandpa and Grandma Sang couldn't help but tear up as they listened to their grandson's words.

After Sheng Zexi finished speaking, Gu Jianing also stepped forward to pay her respects.

She also spoke up, "Hello, Mother-in-law, I'm Gu Jianing, Xi-ge's wife..."

Gu Jianing also rambled on and on.

They talked about their current lives and some recent events, as if they were having a casual chat.

Finally, she said, "...Don't worry, we'll be fine."

"Okay, okay." Grandpa and Grandma Sang listened, wiping their eyes and nodding repeatedly.

After spending an hour in the cemetery, the group of four decided to leave.

Just then, they heard footsteps.

Gu Jianing turned around and saw a middle-aged man in military uniform with sharp and dignified features walking over with a bunch of bellflowers.

If you look closely, you can see that the man's facial features are somewhat similar to Sheng Zexi's.

Gu Jianing had a vague suspicion in her heart.

He turned to look at Sheng Zexi, and sure enough, when he saw the man, Sheng Zexi's face darkened, his eyes filled with disgust, and it was as if all the thorns on his body had suddenly sprung up.

The person who arrived was Sheng Xinhao.

He stepped forward, nodded to Grandpa and Grandma Sang, and then placed the bouquet of white bellflowers in front of the tombstone.

Looking at the photo on the tombstone, a look of nostalgia and sadness flashed across Sheng Xinhao's eyes.

"Ah Wan, I've come to see you."

As soon as Sheng Xinhao finished speaking, he heard a soft sneer from behind him.

"I'm so sorry to trouble you, Commander Sheng. You're so busy, yet you still remember my mother. I thought you had completely forgotten about her now that you have a beautiful wife and children in your arms."

When Sheng Xinhao turned around, he saw Sheng Zexi, whose eyes and brows were full of sharpness and arrogance.

Sheng Xinhao had to admit that his eldest son was the one most like him when he was young, and was also outstanding.

However, they are also disobedient.

Every time we meet, we end up arguing.

Listen to what they're saying!

Sheng Xinhao's face darkened. "Sheng Zexi, no matter what, I am your father! Do you have to speak to your father like that?"
