Chapter 483 Tubal Ligation

"When my parents come back, the four elders can talk and chat together. I guess they'll have more to talk about than they do with us."

“Now that the house has been allocated, let’s go and clean it up in the next couple of days. When your mother is discharged from the hospital, she can move in directly, so that the two elderly people won’t have to clean it themselves.”

Shu Ying looked at Xie Mingzhu, who was genuinely happy for her.

Shu Ying couldn't help but sigh again.

She's really lucky to have met such a kind family who cares so much about her and her family.

Shu Ying smiled and nodded, then hugged Xie Mingzhu.

"Sisters, it's so good to have you all."

Xie Mingzhu seemed a little surprised and patted Shu Ying on the back.

"Why are you suddenly thanking me? We're all family. It's only natural to think of each other and take care of each other. No need for thanks."

Meanwhile, Shu Wenyuan has been gradually handing over his responsibilities over the past few days.

The foundation dedicated to helping people find their relatives continues to operate. This experience has strengthened Shu Wenyuan's resolve to help more people reunite with their loved ones.

When Xie Zhiyan returned from the army, Yangyang and Yueyue were already asleep in their room.

Xie Mingzhu had already gone to rest, and the entire courtyard was quiet, enveloped in tranquility, with only a table lamp still lit in the living room.

Under the warm yellow light, Shu Ying was leaning back on the sofa, a document spread out on her lap, but she had already drifted off to sleep.

It wasn't until Xie Zhiyan turned around and closed the door that the "click" sound brought Shu Ying's attention back.

Perhaps because she was pregnant with triplets, Shu Ying's lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and she was already showing signs of pregnancy.

She smiled at Xie Zhiyan, then subconsciously tried to stand up, supporting her lower back.

"You're back?"

Xie Zhiyan quickly stepped forward, gesturing for Shu Ying to continue sitting.

"Don't move around. You must be very tired lately. Just get some rest. You don't need to wait for me next time."

As Xie Zhiyan spoke, he tenderly kissed Shu Ying's forehead.

Shu Ying nestled into his arms, and Xie Zhiyan naturally raised his hand to gently comb her hair.

In the lukewarm light, the warmth of his fingertips brushed against the top of his head, creating a rare moment of tenderness.

Shu Ying was still sleepy. Leaning against Xie Zhiyan's warm embrace, she couldn't help but feel sleepy again. She rubbed against his neck like a kitten and yawned.

"I can't sleep soundly until you come back."

Xie Zhiyan sighed softly, then kissed Shu Ying's cheek tenderly before gently lifting her up in his arms and carrying her to the room.

Shu Ying became much more awake and moved her body.

"Why don't you just let me walk down yourself? I've gained a lot of weight recently, and you must be tired after a long day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Zhiyan stopped him with a kiss.

He smiled.

"Very light."

"I do hope you eat more and take good care of yourself, so that the three babies in your belly won't compete with you for nutrients."

Shu Ying looked up at Xie Zhiyan and suddenly laughed, unable to resist teasing him.

"What do you mean by 'those three'? You're talking about them like they're someone else's children. These are your own flesh and blood."

Xie Zhiyan smiled along with him.

No one is more important than you.

These words were concise, but they put Shu Ying in a good mood. She hugged Xie Zhiyan's neck and kissed him again.

"But don't worry, I'm a doctor myself, I know what I'm doing, and I won't let the child affect my health."

"Moreover, eating too much is also not good. With three children already, it's already a bit difficult to give birth. If the babies are too big, delivery will be even more difficult."

"...Anyway, you don't need to worry, I know what I'm doing."

Hearing Shu Ying say this, Xie Zhiyan was not relieved at all. Instead, his brows furrowed even more. He laid Shu Ying flat on the bed and turned his head away with some self-reproach.

He appeared to be unbuttoning his shirt to change his clothes, but Shu Ying noticed something unusual about his demeanor.

"What's the matter?"

Xie Zhiyan sighed softly.

"It's still my fault. I was too hasty before, and I didn't expect you to get pregnant again so quickly..."

"I shouldn't have let you suffer like this anymore."

Shu Ying reached out and took his hand.

"It's okay. I'm experienced. There's no use blaming yourself now that you're pregnant."

"Moreover, the medical conditions here in the military are very good and trustworthy, so there's no need to worry."

"No matter how good the medical conditions are, childbirth is still painful. I've heard that there's now a cesarean section, which involves cutting open the abdomen..."

Xie Zhiyan hesitated to continue.

"No matter what, giving birth is risking your life, and I really can't bear to..."

Xie Zhiyan's eyes were filled with struggle and guilt.

This wasn't the first time Xie Zhiyan had said this. Shu Ying sighed softly, took Xie Zhiyan's hand and made him lie down beside her, then reached out and hugged him.

Xie Zhiyan paused, then hugged Shu Ying back with even more tenderness, but dared not hug her too tightly to make her uncomfortable, and placed light kisses on her brow and the corners of her lips.

In the midst of their tenderness, Shu Ying could no longer resist the drowsiness and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Zhiyan, however, couldn't sleep. He turned his head, and by the moonlight streaming in through the window, his gaze fell on Shu Ying's abdomen. He raised his hand and gently stroked it, whispering—

"Good baby, be good and don't make things difficult for Mommy. It was very hard for Mommy to carry you."

Shu Ying turned over, her breathing remaining steady.

Xie Zhiyan gazed at Shu Ying silently for a moment, then a sigh escaped into the quiet night.

He has already scheduled a tubal ligation surgery with the hospital.

I'll get the surgery done as soon as I get this vacation.

That way, at least Shu Ying won't suffer like this again because of him.

On the day Yang Wan was discharged from the hospital, the weather, which had been raining for several days, was unusually sunny. The warm sun hung high in the sky, and the slightly cool temperature, along with the humid air, made people feel less uncomfortable. The world was refreshing.

Shu Wenyuan had bought furniture for his new home early in the morning, and the furniture was delivered just as they arrived at their doorstep.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, the courtyard and main house had been thoroughly cleaned and tidied by Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu.

The windows were open, and bright sunlight streamed into the room, falling on the clean floors and walls. The room was bright and airy, just like the weather today.

Shu Ying and Shu Wenyuan helped Yang Wan to the courtyard gate, one on each side.

Although Yang Wan is now able to be discharged from the hospital, her legs are still recovering and she will need to use crutches to move around for a short period of time.

Fortunately, the nerves and muscles in his legs were not greatly affected, and he will be able to walk normally again soon.
