Chapter 710 - Making His Wife Happy
Doctor Sun thought for a bit and decided it was best for him to leave in order to not be an irksome third wheel, "This old doctor will go concoct some stabilizing pregnancy medicine!" Old man, wasn't your excuse a bit thin ah? There were so many helpers in the pharmacy, so did you really think that they'd need a grand doctor in his sixties to help them out?
"Does it still hurt?" Zhu Junyang saw that an eyesore had tactfully left, so he hurried to sit next to his wife's sickbed. He pulled at his wife's small hand as he gently inquired after her condition.
"Hurts! My bones hurt and my chest hurts! The thing that hurts the most is my heart ah! I hurt for my baby. Baby is so small yet the father spurns it!" Yu Xiaocao wanted to pull her hand out of his, but her husband had a very gentle and firm grip on it. She was upset so she could only pout, like a little frog that was hopping with anger.
Zhu Junyang hurriedly put his right hand on her flat stomach as if he was afraid of startling the child within. He softly said, "Lord Father doesn't dislike you! On the contrary, when I found out that you were here, the first feeling I had was joy and surprise. However, I was worried that your lady mother's body was too weak to endure a pregnancy, so I said some hurtful words to your mother. If your lady mother wasn't injured, then I would definitely have been very excited to see you come because you have the blood of both myself and your mother inside you..."
"Hmph! My little baby isn't someone who would be easily fooled by sweet and honeyed words ah!" Her husband's large hand made her stomach feel warm and cozy. She wasn't sure if she just imagined it but she felt like the displeasure that was inside her stomach had slowly disappeared.
Zhu Junyang sensed that his wife's attitude towards him was softening and hurriedly added on, "Why do you say I'm saying sweet and honeyed words? Look at my incredibly sincere and honest face! Don't mention any little threes or illegitimate children anymore. This prince isn't blind and has no interest in the shallow facade of rouge and powder, so how could they possibly catch my eye? This prince will only have you have my children..."
"I'd be a fool to believe your words! A man's mouth, when he's trying to coax a woman, always has a bunch of honey spread on it." Yu Xiaocao acted as if she was conveying a great favor to him and gave him a look.
"How would you know if this prince has honey on his lips or not? How about you try a taste?" Zhu Junyang perked up and asked in a rascally manner.
"Get lost! Your brains must have been eaten by worms! What the heck do you want to do? I'm severely injured right now and I'm also pregnant with the baby..." Yu Xiaocao almost couldn't take it anymore. When this man became 'interested', he was more relentless than the male protagonists in sexy romance novels.
Zhu Junyang muffled his laughter and lowered his head to kiss the corner of his wife's mouth, "I only want to kiss you, that's all. How is that in any way related to your fractured ribs and our unborn child? Your Highness, do you think you're thinking too much?"
"Get lost!" The little lass's embarrassment instantly morphed into rage. She twisted her head around and only allowed him to look at the back of her head.
"However, the 'little three' you speak of must be referring to an outside woman, right? Why is she called a 'little three' ah?" Zhu Junyang was the third son of his family and had been called 'little three' by his lady mother many times when he was young. When he thought of this, he panicked even more, 'Was the little lass doing this deliberately?'
"Little three refers to the third party who has interfered in a married couple's life. Marriage should only be between two people, so someone who tries to butt in naturally becomes the third party who has destroyed the harmonious and blissful relationship between a couple. Thus, 'little three' is a contemptuous way to refer to such a despicable person".
