Chapter 802: Powerless Chapter 802: Powerless Editor: Atlas Studios Helpless, Qi Haoran gently patted Mu Yanglingâs head and asked anxiously, âWhatâs wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?
Iâll summon the imperial physician.â Mu Yangling grabbed him and told him not to call for help.
As she cried, she shook her head.
âIâm not feeling unwell.
Thereâs no need to call for them.
Itâs all my fault.
Back then when life was tough, Iâve even lay in the snow to hunt in the winter and I was perfectly fine.
I even plowed the fields under the vicious sun without getting any headaches or fevers.
It must be because life is too good these days, that Iâm suffering a loss of appetite from the hot weather.
How would I know that youâve done so much for meââŹÂŚâ Of course, Qi Haoran wouldnât blame Mu Yangling.
In his opinion, all of this was the babyâs fault.
He hugged Ah Ling in his arms and said hatefully, âItâs not your fault.
Itâs all because of our unborn child.
When heâs born, Iâll smack his butt.
Even his big brother wasnât as mischievous as him.â As Mu Yangling hugged Qi Haoranâs waist and cried, his heart ached but he could only pat her back comfortingly.
By the time Mu Yangling stopped crying, his clothes were all wet.
He looked down and saw that Ah Ling had already fallen asleep lying on his chest.
Qi Haoran heaved a sigh of relief and carried her to the bed to sleep.
Then, he personally took a fan to fan her.
Her long eyelashes were moist and there were tears at the corners of her eyes.
As Qi Haoran sighed slightly and carefully wiped her tears away, he began to worry.
Heâd thought that Mu Yangling would be in a better mood if Little Madam Xia came and she had someone to talk to.
Who knew that this would make her cry instead?
If he had known earlier, he would not have bothered to ask Zijin and his family to come earlier.
Qi Haoran scratched his head with a headache.
On the other side, Little Bear, who had woken up, was staring at the child sleeping beside him with wide eyes.
Fan Zhiyuanâs wet nurse couldnât help but purse her lips and smile when she saw this.
She said in a soft voice, âGreetings, Little Heir.
This isââŹÂŚâ âI know.â Little Bear lowered his voice and interrupted the wet nurse, saying with fascination, âThis is my younger brother.â Since Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran were as close as brothers, it was not wrong to say that.
Fan Zhiyuanâs wet nurse nodded and said with a smile, âIn that case, Little Heir, you have to get along well with that Little Heir.â As she spoke, she carefully helped Little Bear down from the small bed.
Little Bear lay on the side and looked at the little bundle on the bed with interest.
Then, he turned around and ran off to find his parents.
Qi Haoran was subconsciously fanning Mu Yangling and leaning against the head of the bed in a half-asleep state.
When his son ran in, he immediately became alert.
Little Bear shouted, âDaddy, Mother has given birth.
I have a younger brother now!â Qi Haoran was so shocked that he touched Mu Yanglingâs stomach.
Seeing that Ah Lingâs stomach was bulging and she was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to reprimand the kid.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?
Your baby brother is still in the stomach.â Stunned, Little Bear climbed onto the bed in disbelief to look at his motherâs stomach.
Seeing that it was still so big, he asked with a head full of question marks, âThen why is there a baby boy on my bed?â âThatâs your Uncle Fanâs boy, Little An.â Qi Haoran heaved a sigh of relief and glared at his son.
âIn the future, confirm things before you make a fuss about it.
Donât scare people like this again.â Little Bear counted on his fingers in surprise.
âThen I have two younger brothers.â Compared to his parents, his younger brother was obviously more attractive.
Hence, Little Bear turned around and ran to look for his younger brother.
Qi Haoran hurriedly called Spring over and said, âWatch Little Heir closely.
Donât let him disturb the baby from resting.â Spring responded and hurriedly chased after him.
Fortunately, Little Anâs wet nurse had been guarding the baby.
When she saw Little Bear run in, she shushed him and coaxed him to lower his voice.
Little Bear had always liked children younger than himself.
Upon hearing this, he carefully approached Little An.
Seeing that he was pouting and sleeping with his chubby hands on both sides of his head, Little Bear exclaimed in surprise and reached out to hook his little finger.
Sighing, he said, âHeâs so small.â Little Anâs wet nurse was only in her early twenties.
When she heard this, she couldnât help but purse her lips and smile.
She felt that this Little Heir of Prince Rongâs estate was very cute.
He himself was just a small child too, but he actually lamented about the baby being small.
When Little An woke up and didnât see his mother at first glance, he opened his mouth and was about to cry.
Startled, Little Bear hurriedly patted his back clumsily to coax him.
âDonât cry, donât cry.
What a good boy.â Little Anâs wet nurse quickly carried the baby and said, âLittle Heir, sit down first.
Iâll take Little Master to look for Madam.â Little Bear hurriedly jumped off the bed and ran after her.
By the time Qi Haoran thought of his son, he realized that he had not seen him for the entire day.
He could not help but ask in surprise, âWhereâs the Little Heir?â Rain lowered her head and said, âLittle Heir is playing with Young Master Zijin.â âThey sure have been playing for quite a long time,â Qi Haoran muttered and just forgot about the matter.
He felt that Little Bear couldnât possibly stay there to play for an entire afternoon.
To his surprise though, Qi Haoran only managed to see his son again at dinnertime.
Moreover, his son had followed Little Madam Xia in.
His gaze was fixated upon Little An, who was lying on Little Madam Xiaâs shoulder.
Qi Haoran glanced at him as he entered with his arms wrapped around Mu Yangling.
Having cried heartily in the afternoon, Mu Yangling was already feeling much better and looking more energetic than before.
After all, because of her illness, she looked listless previously.
One look and one could tell that she was sick.
However, after crying this afternoon, it was as if all her illness had been discharged through her tears.
Hence, she looked much more energetic, so Qi Haoran was quite happy.
However, Fan Zijin, who had seen Mu Yangling again after seven months, was shocked.
She was thin, but her stomach was bulging, and her face was pale and bloodless.
He did not expect Mu Yanglingâs condition to be so bad.
Seeing this, his previous anger at Qi Haoran for abusing his official position for personal reasons had mostly dissipated.
He was silent for a moment before turning to ask Qi Haoran, âWhat did Imperial Physician Wang say?â Qi Haoran said helplessly, âHe said that unless the weather cools down, thereâs nothing we can do.
We canât even put ice basins in the room.
One basin isnât very helpful, and if we put two basins in, she will have diarrhea as time passes.
Moreover, she wonât be able to eat anything.
The baby in her stomach is also constantly making a fuss, kicking around in her stomach almost every dayââŹÂŚâ At this point, Qi Haoranâs eyes couldnât help but turn red.
During this period of time, he had been trying his best not to show any abnormalities in front of Mu Yangling, but he was indeed very terrified.
Though pregnant, Mu Yanglingâs appetite wasnât even a third of what it was before.
How could there be sufficient nutrition for her and the unborn child?
Every time he saw her suppressing her nausea and stuffing some food into her mouth before spitting it out, he felt like there was a rock in his chest.
He wanted to tell her that he didnât want this child anymore, but he couldnât bring himself to say it every time the words came to his mouth.
That was his child!
From being so small, the baby slowly grew up and was gradually able to move.
Every night before going to bed, the baby would kick him twice to say goodnight.
At this moment, the baby was probably lying inside her stomach with a trusting heart, waiting to open his eyes and see the world.
How could Qi Haoran be so heartless?
However, looking at his wife growing thinner day by day, he felt helpless.
That sense of powerlessness pressed down on him until he could not breathe.
He was afraid that one day, when he woke up, he would see Ah Ling lying on the bed and not wake up.
Seeing that Qi Haoranâs eyes were red and his voice was a little choked up, Fan Zijin reached out and patted his shoulder.
He said in a low voice, âItâs fine.
We can always get Cousin to send a few more imperial physicians over.
In the worst case scenario, weâll send her back to Jiangnan first, where the temperature is lower.â
