106,9 - Little Peasant Wife

Reflecting on it, there's really no necessity to have children, yet it's not as simple as that. Children are often seen as the fated gifts of love, to be nurtured naturally, almost like experiencing another journey of growth alongside them. Once there are children in a household, many aspects inevitably change." Jing Ao Xue still didn't quite grasp the concept fully, but she found the idea of growing alongside a child intriguing. Noticing her curiosity, Qin Yi Shu suggested, "How about I show you my newborn son?" Jing Ao Xue, intrigued, nodded. Since it was inconvenient for her to enter the room, Qin Yi Shu brought the baby out to her. The child was only a few days old, his face still a bit wrinkled and red, but his fair, delicate skin was beginning to show. Startled by being picked up, the baby began to cry softly, his voice as weak as that of a newborn kitten. Jing Ao Xue glanced at him and remarked with a smile, "This child looks a lot like Gu Miss." Qin Yi Shu nodded in agreement, "A son resembling his mother is a good thing." Gazing at the baby in her arms, Qin Yi Shu's face was adorned with a loving, gentle smile, her entire demeanor softening in an unprecedented way. Jing Ao Xue had never seen this side of Qin Yi Shu, who had always seemed composed and strategic. This open display of joy and tenderness was truly rare. She couldn't resist looking down at the baby, imagining if Liu Er had looked like this at a young age. If so, even spending an entire day doing nothing but watching over her in swaddling clothes would have brought uncontainable joy. She pursed her lips into a smile just as Shen Lv Man and Liu Er came out of the room, giving her a gentle smile. She mused: Perhaps there's no need to be overly anxious about having children—just letting things happen naturally could be enough. If there were a child who resembled Shen Lv Man, they would surely be adorable.
