Chapter 304 A deformed child.
Yu Dong stared at Chu Chang silently assessing him, the guy was smart she had to hand it to him. Even in this era, he was well ahead of his time and even came up with the idea of free samples, it was no wonder that with him by her side Mu Yuxi was able to get to new heights. In fact, she was sure that if Chu Chang wasn't a mer, he would have been just as successful as his sisters. It was simply a pity that he was a mer and all his talents were wasted on a woman and she would be a fool to refuse cooperation with such a smart mer, if she cooperated with him, she will be able to become one of the richest people in this village or maybe in the town as well!
Then she wouldn't have to stay here and suffer silently against all those villagers who were bent on finding trouble with her.
" All right," said Yu Dong as she held out her hand for Chu Chang to shake. " I will draw the contract by tomorrow, remember to come and check it tomorrow. If there is anything that you are not okay with you just have to tell me, and then I will make it a point to change it."
" I see, that's great—— ouch!" Chu Chang was smiling as he too raised his hand to shake Yu Dong's but then all of a sudden he gasped and started to rub his tummy. His brows scrunched up and sweat started to form on his forehead, making him look like he was in a lot of pain.
" Daddy!" Mu Ran who saw her daddy double down in pain immediately dropped the berry that she was eating and rushed to Chu Chang's side just as Yu Dong took hold of his wrist afraid he might fall from the chair if she didn't timely catch him. " Hey? Are you okay what's wrong?"
Chu Chang took a few short breaths as he tried to calm himself, the pain was too sharp but this was something he was dealing with for a long time. His body was damaged after he gave birth to his son, Mu Zhu, his body wasn't able to recover himself but because he wanted to make it up to Mu Yuxi, he insisted on getting pregnant again—— it was not surprising that his body was extremely uncomfortable because of this pregnancy.
He smiled painfully as he straightened in his chair and wiped the sweat on his forehead, Yu Dong let go of his hand once she saw that he was able to seat properly on his chair. "It's nothing, My body is considerably weak and the child is too strong, it's my fault that he can't grow comfortably."
He smoothed his hand on his belly as he gently caressed it, all the while gazing lovingly at his belly. He wouldn't blame the child for his pain and suffering, it was him who insisted to have this child while he wasn't capable enough, it wasn't the fault of the baby.
Yu Dong looked at Chu Chang who was gazing fondly at his pregnant belly and pursed her lips. When she clasped his wrist just now, she was able to sense that Chu Chang's body was indeed really weak—— going by this slight checkup she did, he will have a tough time giving birth to this child of his. However, he was her business partner and knew what he was doing, it will be a real shame if he died because of his pregnancy. " Would you mind if I check your pulse?"
Chu Chang who was rubbing his belly to ease the painful contractions in his belly snapped his head at her in surprise. " You can do that?"
He didn't know that Yu Dong had this talent as well, wasn't she just a smart businesswoman and huntress?
Yu Dong rubbed her nose uncomfortably as she laughed softly. " When Mi was pregnant, I picked up a lot of skills." Well, she wasn't lying the previous Yu Dong was very concerned about the gender of the baby, she hoped that Chen Mi would be able to give birth to a son. She was under the delusion that as long as her first child was a proper 'male' she would be able to use his gender identity and return to her family, thus, she went around here and there… learning half baked skills to detect the gender of the child.
Now that, Yu Dong thought about it. She was really lucky that she arrived in this world before little bun was born or who knows what the previous Yu Dong would have done.
Chu Chang didn't think much of it, the fact that Yu Dong pampered Little bun was spread around the village long ago. Some people even called her crazy for doting on a mer when the child was going to be married off to another house in the future.
He held out his hand and Yu Dong grasped his wrist as she carefully instilled her spiritual energy in his womb, as a spiritual user as long as focused her attention on one part of the body, she would be able to get a good understanding of what was happening inside the body. (She never checked her husband's womb—- before anyone come at me)
Chu Chang didn't feel anything at first then he felt a warm current flow in his body and then the contractions in his body slowly eased, surprised he looked at Yu Dong, he could sense that there was something more to these skills that Yu Dong was talking about but he didn't ask anything. He was nothing but a stranger to Yu Dong and even if he asked, he was sure she might not answer him truthfully, he knew his limits and thus, stayed silent.
On the other hand, Yu Dong who was focusing on Chu Chang's womb was stunned, as multiple possibilities flashed in her eyes, she blinked her eyes in disbelief. This …how was she supposed to tell Chu Chang that his child was deformed?
