Mu Jiu Chen said, "After lunch, we'll go to the sea. We won't come back tonight. We'll stay at Tianya Haijiao for one night and then return."
Jiang Nuan seemed a little worried, "Honey, can we see the aurora this season?"
It was a small island, triangular, separated by the sea, as if it had been left behind by the ocean. At night, blue arc-shaped lights would appear on the desktop.
"Yes, I've confirmed it already, that's why I brought you here. Let's go for lunch first. Today's lunch is all freshly caught raw seafood. You'll definitely love it."
Jiang Nuan nodded happily and got up to wash.
Night!
Tianya Haijiao, on the island.
Mu Jiu Chen held Jiang Nuan as they sat on the hotel's top floor, waiting for the aurora to appear.
The island had beautiful scenery, especially at night. The starry sky was particularly beautiful, hazy and mysterious.
In the deep sea, it was as if stars were falling, reaching the peak of beauty.
Jiang Nuan sighed, "Honey, this place is truly beautiful. It really feels like the end of the world, disconnected from everything else in this world."
Development here was difficult, and the hotels were often fully booked with people from all over the world, all for the sake of seeing the aurora.
The safety factor was not high either. Mu Jiu Chen spent a fortune to book the entire top floor, forbidding anyone else from coming up.
Only he and his wife could enjoy this peace.
In front of them, on the grill, was a lobster automatically rotating as it roasted.
This was their dinner for the night.
The two of them had no intention of sleeping, they just wanted to stay there until dawn.
Jiang Nuan got hungry at night when she couldn't sleep. Mu Jiu Chen knew this habit of hers and had people prepare some barbecue and local specialties.
Seeing the aurora required three conditions: atmosphere, magnetic field, and high-energy charged particles.
A monitor was placed nearby, and it would alarm when the aurora arrived.
Reminding people to prepare to watch the aurora.
Jiang Nuan picked up a small lobster, already grilled.
Mu Jiu Chen took it from her hand, peeled off the shell, and let her dip it in the sauce.
"Delicious," Jiang Nuan ate half and fed the other half to Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen did not mind at all, opening his mouth to eat.
Jiang Nuan leaned against him, watching the clock strike midnight. She had prepared a camera to record it and take it back to admire.
Mu Jiu Chen wrapped his arm around her back and gently caressed it. Jiang Nuan felt a flush of warmth from his touch.
She looked up at Mu Jiu Chen with a hint of a pout.
Mu Jiu Chen lowered his gaze, his dark eyes openly filled with desire.
He whispered, "Nuan Nuan, I want to love you amidst the aurora!"
Jiang Nuan parted her red lips as a streak of blue light suddenly flashed across the sky.
"Mu Jiu Chen, the aurora," Jiang Nuan shouted excitedly, her face beaming with a sweet smile.
Mu Jiu Chen also saw the blue light.
"So beautiful!" Jiang Nuan watched the arc of blue light, rising in an arc, brilliantly illuminating, and then slowly descending like mist.
"So beautiful!"
Jiang Nuan was mesmerized by the visual feast before her, truly a rare sight in the world.
This was the first time she had experienced such a visual spectacle.
Mu Jiu Chen pulled her down and whispered, "Wife, you can watch all night, but in my eyes, you are the most beautiful."
He kissed her lips, wanting to feel her world in this moment.
Under the aurora, Mu Jiu Chen fulfilled his wish. Jiang Nuan lay quietly in his arms, having also fulfilled her wish of watching the aurora with the one she loved.
Her breath was coming in short, ragged gasps. Mu Jiu Chen felt that tonight was different. He whispered a few words into Jiang Nuan's ear.
Jiang Nuan playfully punched his chest with a blush.
"Wife, I'm not lying to you, it really is much hotter than usual."
Jiang Nuan calculated the days; it was her ovulation period.
Jiang Nuan said, "I might be pregnant."
"Mhm!" Mu Jiu Chen paused for a moment. Were his three little princesses finally coming?
Mu Jiu Chen was incredibly excited.
Jiang Nuan didn't say anything. The aurora in the distance grew higher, illuminating the entire island. The secluded island presented a rare beauty.
...
A month later!
"Ugh..."
The Lu family!
Everyone was at home having breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Jiang Nuan saw the seafood on the table and couldn't help but gag.
Everyone looked at Jiang Nuan in shock.
Tears welled up in Jiang Nuan's eyes; she felt so unwell.
This feeling was so familiar.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Mu Jiu Chen quickly got up and poured her a glass of hot water. "Wife, drink some water first."
Jin Yan looked at her daughter excitedly, "Nuan Nuan, are you pregnant?"
Mu Jiu Chen looked at Jiang Nuan nervously, "Nuan Nuan, you..."
Jiang Nuan felt the urge to vomit again. She stood up and went straight to the bathroom to throw up.
Mu Jiu Chen, worried, followed her.
Yu Han said, "Nuan Nuan wouldn't be like this if she wasn't pregnant."
Old Mrs. Jin said, "She really looks pregnant."
"Oh, that's wonderful! Our family is going to have another addition," Lu Cheng Si was very happy.
Old Mrs. Jin glanced at him, "She's not taking the Lu surname, what are you so excited about?"
Lu Cheng Si retorted to the old lady for the first time in a while, "The surname doesn't matter, as long as it's born to my daughter, it's part of our Lu family."
Old Mrs.: "..." Honestly, the Lu family's conduct subverted her perception of affluent families.
Their family had no infighting, only happiness and harmony.
Brotherly affection, filial children; such an environment made her life very comfortable.
She no longer had to try to balance relationships within the Jin family, something that sometimes kept her awake at night.
Now, she woke up every day feeling relaxed.
She did whatever she wanted each day. Her daughter and son-in-law, though not very talkative, never gave her a cold shoulder.
She never dreamed in her life that she would eventually be taken care of in her old age by her least favorite daughter.
And her two sons, ever since she moved in here, hadn't even come to see her.
They only wanted to benefit from the Lu family.
She had truly come to understand that having money wasn't necessarily a good thing.
A happy, joyful, healthy, and harmonious family was the most blissful thing.
In the bathroom.
Jiang Nuan was so weak from vomiting.
She looked at Mu Jiu Chen with tear-filled eyes.
Mu Jiu Chen pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said, "Wife, let's go to the hospital."
Jiang Nuan was hesitant, "What if I'm pregnant with triplets?"
It was so tiring, her back ached so much!
Mu Jiu Chen knew what she was thinking, "Wife, we've been together for over a year, and you've never been pregnant. Now that you are, if you don't want it, we won't."
Seeing Meng Yuan unable to walk properly due to her twin pregnancy, he didn't want his wife to suffer either.
Jiang Nuan rolled her eyes at him, "What kind of words are those coming from a father? How could I not want the baby? It's not like we can't afford to raise it."
Even if they couldn't afford it, she would still choose to give birth.
"But..."
"No 'buts.' You go eat first, and then we'll go to the hospital after." Jiang Nuan walked out, feeling unwell.
"Oh!" He helped Jiang Nuan out.
Jin Yan quickly went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of hot and sour noodle soup for Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan immediately regained her appetite.
Yu Han smiled watching Jiang Nuan eat the noodles heartily. Her mother-in-law had taken meticulous care of her during her morning sickness, making her entire pregnancy blissful.
After breakfast, Jin Yan accompanied Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen to the hospital.
