Unlike Wan Jia, Su Ling was having much trouble in just the beginning of her second month. Her apetite was terrible and her morning sickness was hard to bear. One would think she was suffering from a terminal ailment.

If the gynecologist had not assured them repeatedly that some women had it more difficult than others, Lu Shaoting would have suggested terminating it. Despite wanting children very much, he would not want them if they were going to affect his wife's health.

Even worse, she needed to take greater care because her uterus was thinner than most women's and according to the gynecologist, this might be her only chance to be a mother. She might not concieve again in future.

The only thing that comforted her was that lu Shaoting was taking good care of her. Together, they would be able to take care of this child and not loose it.

"Honey, are we going to announce my pregnancy?" She asked while in Lu Shaoting's arms.

"We had thought about keeping it a secret temporarily but ultimately, we will do what you want." He said, his tone as doting as ever.

"Then let's only announce it when it's too obvious to be hidden."

"Mmh. That's okay too." Came the answer in the same tone.

Su Ling held his hand tightly to conceal her nervousness as she asked. "Honey, do you prefer girls or boys?"

Lu Shaoting remained silent for a moment. Did he really have a preference? But she was waiting for an answer, so he spoke his mind. "Our baby can be either sex. I will love it that way. If it's a girl, I will take care of both of you like my jewels. If it's a boy, we will both take care of you like our jewel. Ultimately, we will be the happiest family in the world."

He had used many words to say "I don't have a particular preference." But she did not realize it and her heart was filled with happiness.

...

Many things were happening on that very night.

In the Yun mansion, gasps filled the air.

The long lost young miss of the household, Yun Xuan was back.

Not a single person had expected her to return.

Especially not Yun Jifeng, who had been ordered by his father to kill her. He gave her a curious glance but since he did not see his father react negatively, he kept his distance for a while.

Just as Lu Aotian had predicted, General Yun was half stunned and half hopeful when he saw her. He was looking foward to something.

And that was exactly what Yun Xuan gave him. "D-dad. I..."

Although it was just pretense, Yun Xuan felt that the word was unbearable coming out of her mouth. She almost wanted to chop off her own tongue.

To top it all, she even had to look apologetic and kowtow to him.

Once again, according to Lu Aotian's expectations, General Yun's eyes widened. In just a moment, he saw his daughter kneeling before him and his heart ached.

This was not his biological daughter, but she had been in the Yun family and called him "dad" for two decades. The pitiful-looking woman in front of him right now reminded him of those two decades ago, when he first saw her. She was so timid that she did not have the liberty to speak to anyone and kept to herself hidden away in corners and closed rooms. Her frail little figure would evoke the pity of anyone who saw her.

His heart clenched violently. "Xuanxuan, get up. What are you doing?"

He reached to help her up.

Her eyes moist, she looked up at him. "You're not angry with me?"

"Why would I be angry? You're still my little girl that I love the most."

Her tears ran freely and she hugged her 'father', the man she hated the most. She really wished she had a knife to stab him right in the back of his neck.

To keep her act up, she spoke all sorts of words of apology while hugging him.

General Yun kept patting her and telling her how much he had missed her and that she was always welcome as this was still her home.

But in her heart, Yun Xuan grumbled. Love me the most, my a**. You just love having someone by your side who you can control.

For this reason, she was not sorry for using him.

Madam Yun heard the commotion downstairs and went to check what was happening.

When she saw her daughter who she had been missing for months, she was so surprised that she descended the staircase insanely fast. She almost tripped several times.

"Xuanxuan!"

"Mom."

Now, this was one person that Yun Xuan did not want to use. She wished she was able to tell her the truth.

After all, she had always been kind and never hurt her in any way.

When she hugged her, Yun Xuan whispered in her ear, "sorry mom."

Madam Yun thought she was apologizing because she had left home. "You don't need to apologize. I missed you so much."

She was curious about her grandson that Yun Xuan had kept away for a very long time but recalling that Yun Xuan had not told anyone else about her pregnancy and her son, she did not ask. She would ask in private.

...

Of course, not everyone was excited about Yun Xuan's return.

Although General Yun seemed to have forgotten all about how he ordered his useless second son to kill her, Yun Jifeng had not forgotten.

The first chance he got when no one else was around, he pulled her aside in secret.

"Something brought you here. What is it?" He looked at her sternly.
