Chapter 238: A Child with Jing Ni! My Wife’s Thoughtfulness!
Jing Ni’s exquisite face instantly blossomed with deep happiness.
The smile on her lips exuded a hint of charming maternal glow.
She gently nodded and said, “Yes, I found out only yesterday.”
Her voice was soft like a spring breeze, as if afraid of startling the child in her belly.
Jing Ni was once a top assassin, often on the edge of life and death.
Sometimes getting injured during missions was unavoidable.
She knew a bit of traditional medicine as a result.
Although not as good as a professional doctor, as a top expert, she could sense if something was wrong with her body.
This month, her period didn’t come.
At first, she thought it was due to being too busy and thus unbalanced.
But recently, her body felt increasingly different.
The reactions became more pronounced.
Yesterday, Lady Mingzhu checked her pulse and confirmed she was pregnant.
Even though she was mentally prepared, confirming the pregnancy filled Jing Ni’s heart with joy.
After waiting so long, the little one finally arrived.
She wanted to share the news with Li Mo right away.
But she didn’t see him all night.
Not sure what he was busy with.
Today, she got up early or more accurately, didn’t sleep at all.
Before marrying Li Mo, she never thought she would become a mother.
As she gently stroked her belly, she felt like living a new life.
Her current life was completely different from before.
“You found out yesterday, how long has it been?”
Li Mo’s hand carefully covered Jing Ni’s flat belly.
He did not dare to rub it like before.
“A little over a month. Feel it.”
Seeing Li Mo just place his hand on her belly without daring to move, Jing Ni couldn’t help but laugh.
By calculation, it should have happened when Li Mo stayed overnight before leaving for Han.
That night, they didn’t sleep at all, and it paid off.
Hard work finally bore fruit.
Li Mo grinned foolishly.
Revealing a side Jing Ni had never seen before.
“I’m afraid of hurting her.”
Jing Ni couldn’t help but laugh: “She’s not that fragile.”
As a cultivator with a strong inner force, she could protect her unborn child.
Even heavily pregnant, she could still leap roofs and walls.
People posed no problem!
Li Mo knew he was being overly cautious.
In the original story, Jing Ni could kill all the assassins chasing her even when about to give birth.
Now that she was only early pregnant, it was far less dangerous.
He applied a little force, letting his hand rest on Jing Ni’s soft belly.
Inside, their crystallization of love, a little life, was growing.
He carefully felt it, and ripples arose in his heart.
It seemed as if a sense of blood connection was forming in his heart.
“Right, right, Madam is now pregnant and should rest more.”
“Come, let me carry you to bed for some more sleep.”
Li Mo suddenly remembered this.
Although Jing Ni’s physique far exceeded that of ordinary people and could not be compared to typical pregnant women,
he could not afford to be careless.
Now that the family had the means, of course, she should be well taken care of.
Li Mo, without saying a word, scooped Jing Ni up by her legs with one hand and held her slender back with the other, carrying her to the bed.
Jing Ni struggled to get down.
“I’m not going to sleep. Luo Network has just been reorganized, and there are still many things to handle.”
“Let Mingzhu take care of it. Your most important task now is to rest well and ensure our child comes into this world safe and sound.”
Li Mo spoke firmly, carrying Jing Ni to the bed.
He gently placed her down, bent over, and took off her embroidered shoes,
then tucked her warm, delicate feet under the blanket.
Then he lay down himself.
His hand stuck to Jing Ni’s lower abdomen like plaster.
Luo Network might be important, but how could it compare to Jing Ni’s health and their child?
Jing Ni felt both helpless and moved.
Helpless because Li Mo was being overly cautious.
Moved because of his concern and care for her and their child.
Judging by his resolute attitude, she knew he wouldn’t rest until she slept today.
Jing Ni, stubborn as she was, always listened to Li Mo’s words.
Experience had always shown that listening to her husband was never wrong.
The couple lay in bed, fully clothed, embracing each other.
Jing Ni closed her eyes, her white head gently resting against Li Mo’s neck, enjoying the stability and happiness he brought her.
But suddenly, she twitched her nose.
After thinking for a while, she opened her eyes.
She slowly lifted her head and looked meaningfully at Li Mo, who was laughing foolishly while caressing her belly.
Softly, she said, “Doesn’t husband have something to tell me?”
If it weren’t for the smell on Li Mo, she would have almost forgotten.
As a top-notch assassin, Jing Ni had an exceptionally keen sense of smell.
There was a woman’s scent on Li Mo.
And it wasn’t from the women in the house.
Hearing her words, Li Mo finally removed his hand from her belly.
He slapped his forehead and said, “Right, right, you see, I got so happy I forgot.”
After mumbling for a while, he thought about how to start the conversation.
Jing Ni looked at him, half-smiling, fully aware.
“Is our child going to have another aunt?”
Li Mo laughed awkwardly, “Madam is indeed as clever as snow and ice.”
Jing Ni rolled her eyes at him, not with any intent to blame.
It wasn’t enough for her alone to expand the family; more sisters to share the burden would be better.
“Whose girl is it? I haven’t heard you mention it before.”
Jing Ni leaned back into Li Mo, her arms lightly wrapping around his solid back as she asked.
Li Mo pursed his lips and said slowly, “It’s not a girl.”
Jing Ni was momentarily stunned.
She lifted her head again.
“Are you kidding me, husband!”
We agreed that you could find someone, but she had to be clean.
What did “clean” mean? It wasn’t clear.
But looking at Li Mo, her heart softened again.
Forget it, as long as husband is happy.
Li Mo detected the change in Jing Ni’s expression.
He knew she had misunderstood.
Amused, he said, “Although not a girl, she is still pure.”
Jing Ni looked slightly surprised, “A widow?”
It wasn’t unheard of for a woman to lose her husband before they could even consummate the marriage due to an unforeseen accident.
If that was the case, it meant husband had kept their agreement.
Li Mo nodded, “Pretty much, but her situation is a bit complicated.”
Jing Ni pondered, “Was she not well-treated by her husband’s family?”
“Then let’s bring her over. Given your current status, no one would dare say anything.”
“Since she is yours now, we shouldn’t let her suffer from others. We cannot let her be wronged.”
Surprised by Jing Ni’s understanding and consideration, Li Mo felt moved.
But the problem was, she guessed wrong.
Who would dare to make her upset!
It’s already good enough that she doesn’t get mad at others!
“No, and we can’t take it either.”
Li Mo shook his head.
If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter to accept it.
But to take her in, it could cause a huge scandal in the entire Qin state.
“Can’t take? Whose widow can’t you take?”
Upon hearing this, Jing Ni asked in confusion.
Li Mo coughed slightly and said something shocking: “The Empress Dowager.”
