Chapter 229 : Supplements

Lu Yunyao protected her belly and said, “I don’t mind whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

Lu Yunxiang clenched her fists in jealousy.

She knew exactly why Lu Yunyao felt so confident, her husband was the only son of the Fu family’s third branch. No matter what Lu Yunyao gave birth to, the child would be the sole heir of the Fu Group!

But Lu Yunxiang was different, her husband was just an insignificant illegitimate son. If she had a girl, her chances of turning her life around would be slim.

“You must not be living well in the Fu family, right? With so many people around, you must often get bullied by the elders,” she sneered.

“And with such a big age gap between you and your husband, is he cold towards you?”

Lu Yunyao found it hard to respond. Cold? Her mister was incredibly warm and affectionate! Who spread the rumors about his bad temper? Were they blind?

Lu Yunxiang started to boast, “Even though I used to want to stay in the Lu family, after coming to the Gu family, I realized there’s no comparison! Do you know I ride in luxury cars worth eight or nine figures every day? My meals are all exquisite delicacies, and the Gu family even hired two chefs just for me.”

Lu Yunyao couldn’t be bothered.

In her eyes, Lu Yunxiang’s bragging was insignificant. Two chefs? In her villa, there was a whole team of professional chefs! Plus, her Mr. cooked for her personally, which touched her the most.

Lu Yunxiang walked closer to Lu Yunyao and maliciously speculated, “Why is your belly so small? Is there something wrong with the baby?”

Then she reached out to touch Lu Yunyao’s belly.

“Stop!”

A cold voice interrupted, causing Lu Yunxiang’s arm to freeze in mid-air.

Seeing Fu Sichan return, Lu Yunxiang blinked nervously and forced a chuckle.

“I just wanted to check on you, why are you so scared? With all these cameras around, what could I do?”

Lu Yunyao quickly stood up and distanced herself from Lu Yunxiang.

Who knew what Lu Yunxiang intended? Even if she wouldn’t outright harm her, Lu Yunyao would feel uncomfortable with her touching her baby.

“Mr, you’re back.”

“The test results are out. Let’s go see a specialist and hear his opinion.”

“Okay.”

Fu Sichan took Lu Yunyao’s hand and led her out of the garden.

When they approached a small step, he picked her up to carry her down to prevent her from falling.

Anyone could see how much he cared for and liked Lu Yunyao.

Lu Yunxiang stood alone, her eyes filled with resentment.

It was all Lu Yunyao’s fault!

If she hadn’t suddenly returned to the Lu family, she would still be the proud young lady of the Lu family. How could she end up marrying an insignificant illegitimate son?

She had initially planned to arrange an accident for Old Lady Fu. If everything had gone smoothly, she would have been the one marrying Fu Sichan, not Lu Yunyao!

Everything Lu Yunxiang had worked for was taken away by Lu Yunyao, and that left her filled with hatred!

“What are you standing around for? Hurry up and come home with me. Mom will get angry if we’re late,” came the disdainful voice of Gu Shao.

Lu Yunxiang felt even more disappointed.

Her husband was not only average-looking, but his voice was also hoarse and unpleasant.

He was no match for Fu Sichan in any way!

Fu Sichan came from a prestigious family, with a face that could rival that of a celebrity, and his voice was magnetic and pleasant to hear.

Comparing people made her feel frustrated!

As she and her husband approached the stairs, Lu Yunxiang’s eyes flickered with a thought.

“Honey, can you carry me down?”

Just earlier, Fu Sichan had carried Lu Yunyao when they reached the stairs.

Lu Yunxiang wanted to experience that feeling of being pampered by her husband, too.

But Gu Er Shao shot her an impatient glance and disdainfully said,

“Can’t you walk yourself? Don’t you have legs?”

With that, he walked down the stairs without a care for his pregnant wife.

Lu Yunxiang rolled her eyes in anger, cradling her belly as she clumsily made her way down the steps.

She couldn’t help but notice that her belly was growing rapidly lately.

Could it be because she was eating too many supplements at the Gu family?

Little did Lu Yunxiang know that all of this was orchestrated by Gu Qingyu behind the scenes.

Gu Qingyu had taken some special supplements from Bai Xuan and given them all to Lu Yunxiang.

As the days passed, Lu Yunxiang’s belly grew like a balloon, and she was thrilled, thinking it was a sign of a healthy baby, unaware of Gu Qingyu’s malicious intentions!

…

After leaving the hospital, Fu Sichan took Lu Yunyao back to the old residence.

Old Lady Fu asked with concern, “Why isn’t Yaoyao’s belly showing? Is she not getting enough nutrition?”

Fu Sichan nodded slightly. “The doctor has given her a new nutrition plan. She just needs to nourish herself a little longer.”

“Perfect! I recently got some great supplements that are good for pregnant women. Take some back for Yaoyao to strengthen her health.”

Old Lady Fu had someone bring out a box of supplements made from rare Chinese herbs, which were excellent for nourishing the body and replenishing energy.

“I visited the Bai family not long ago, and this was given to me by Old Madam Bai. I know you have some reservations about Bai Xuan, but she is still young and doesn’t know better. However, Old Madam Bai and I have been close friends for many years, so I trust her.”

“I’ve taken these supplements for a while, and my doctor says my health has improved significantly, which is why I dare to share them with you.”

“Let Yaoyao take them for a while. If they work well, I’ll arrange to get more from abroad.”

Old Lady Fu drank a bowl of nourishing soup every noon.

Her complexion indeed looked much better.

Since this was a gift from an elder, Fu Sichan couldn’t refuse and accepted it with thanks.

Once they returned home, Lu Yunyao turned to her Mr and said, “Mr, I’d like to try the supplements Grandma gave me.”

“Oh? Why’s that?”

“My health hasn’t been great, and I’m lacking in nutrition. I need to make sure I get enough. I didn’t know I was carrying two babies; I thought there was only one.”

If there had only been one baby, the nutrition she was getting would have been sufficient.

But with two little ones inside her and her frequent loss of appetite, that just wouldn’t do!

“Hold on. Let me check with the doctor first to see if these supplements are suitable for you.”

Lu Yunyao frowned. “Since it’s a proper supplement, it should be fine, right? My belly is too small, and I’m worried the baby might not be healthy.”

Hearing Lu Yunxiang say her belly was small made her feel even more guilty about the baby.

After all, Lu Yunxiang was also pregnant, and if she was saying that, it must be because her belly was much bigger than Lu Yunyao’s.

Lu Yunyao was extremely worried about the baby, fearing for its health.

“Don’t worry. We have the best doctors and nutritionists, they’ll make sure your health improves. There’s no need to rush in just a day or two.”
