In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1438 just sounds so awkward!

Su Yueyao looked at the children in Xueying and Wumian's arms, and reached out to touch their faces. When she touched the child in Xueying's arms, the child suddenly smiled slightly.

"Qianqian, the child is smiling. He must be having a sweet dream."

Hearing Su Yueyao's laughter, Xueying, who was holding the child, trembled slightly and lowered his gaze immediately, but his heart was pounding.

The woman smiled so gently, showing concern and comfort for her husband, which touched his heart, especially since she was so close to him at that moment.

"It seems the baby smiled because she felt you touching her. Little Twenty-Nine will definitely be a cheerful person in the future," Yang Qianxun said with a smile.

Su Yueyao was still engrossed in playing with the child when she heard Yang Qianxun's questioning tone: "Little Twenty-Nine?" What the heck is that?

“My lady, this is my second daughter, the twenty-ninth in the family,” Wenren Qichi immediately explained.

Upon hearing this address, Su Yueyao's lips twitched slightly. The title "Little Twenty-Nine" sounded awkward no matter how she looked at it!

"You can start thinking about the child's name now. If you want the child to take your mother's surname, just tell the lord."

"Is it really okay for the wife's child to take our maternal clan's surname?" Wenren Qichi asked cautiously.

"Really? Didn't the young master in the manor previously have the surname of his maternal clan?"

"Regardless of their surnames, they are all my children, and their names will be recorded in the Su family genealogy."

"From now on, you will have to give a portion of your assets to them. Even if they are surnamed your mother's family, they can still have a share. This was all agreed upon before."

"The wife..."

The children present, including Gongyang Ruoyu and Wenren, were deeply moved.

"That's settled then. We need to get a name quickly. It feels weird to call a child someone in their early twenties."

“Yes, my lady.” Gongyang Ruoyu and the others nodded in agreement. They also felt that calling the child by his twentieth-something birth order was a bit awkward.

After Su Yueyao finished speaking, she peeked at Cheng Yan and Huan Yanxi, who had been standing silently at the door.

One person awkwardly held the child, while the other held the child with their head down.

"Cheng Yan, Yan Xi, you two don't want to see me! You won't let me see the child? Why are you hiding so far away?"

The two of them looked up at Su Yueyao at the same time: "My lady..."

Huan Yanxi immediately fell silent upon hearing Cheng Yan speak and lowered his head. His eyes were still a little swollen, and it would be bad if his wife saw them. He wanted to wait as long as possible.

"My lady, I can't hold this child properly. I feel uncomfortable no matter how I hold him," Cheng Yan said, holding the child in her arms.

Su Yueyao looked at Cheng Yan's stiff way of holding the child, pursed her lips and wanted to laugh. It seemed that Yi Bai had held the child like this before.

"Chengyan, didn't I teach you? When you hold a baby, you have to let her be close to you, and you have to hold her like this with this hand," Sun Yibai said softly, still holding his hand and making him hold her tighter.

"I'm holding her so tightly, won't she feel uncomfortable? Yibai, look at her eyebrows, they're always furrowed," Cheng Yan said, her hands stiff.

"She's frowning not because you're holding her too tightly, but because you're holding her too loosely; she's uncomfortable."

Is that so?

Su Yueyao couldn't help but laugh as she listened to their conversation.

"Yi Bai, when you first held Xuan Xuan, your stiff movements were just like Cheng Yan's! Now your movements are much more skillful."

"My lady... let's not talk about the past. I was immature back then," Sun Yibai said awkwardly.

Su Yueyao's smile widened, recalling how Sun Yibai had resisted when he held the other children, saying, "My lady is a female ruler, and she resists the idea that men and women shouldn't touch each other."

“Your thinking back then was indeed immature. Having your own child makes all the difference!” Su Yueyao said as she walked to Cheng Yan’s side.

Looking at the bandage wrapped around his hand, a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes: "Is your hand badly injured?"

"My wife isn't in too much pain. When I broke the armrest while I was in pain, I only got a minor scratch." After saying that, Cheng Yan subconsciously pulled her sleeves up, trying to cover the back of her hand.

"Focus on recovering from your injury these next few days. Have someone else look after the baby for you."

"Yes, my wife, don't worry! I've applied some medicine, it'll be fine in two days."

Su Yueyao touched the child in Cheng Yan's arms before looking up at Huan Yanxi, who was huddled up, and found that he was looking down at the child in his arms.

He only realized what was happening when Su Yueyao walked up to him.

Su Yueyao suddenly remembered what Lu Yuanyi had told her: Huan Yanxi cried his heart out when he learned that the child did not have the Gu King.

Su Yueyao gently pinched Huan Yanxi's chin and lifted his face: "Yanxi, are you sad that there is no Gu King in the child, or are you worried that if you have another child and still don't have one, I will despise you?"

"My wife...I..."

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have... I was just scared... This time it was just too hard to bear, so... I didn't question my wife, I just..." Huan Yanxi said in a panic, tears streaming down his face.

"Your eyes have just gone down in swelling, and they're about to swell up again. I'm not angry," Su Yueyao said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe his tears as soon as she saw them.

"My lady... I'm really scared. How could there be no Gu King? My mother clearly told me to spend more time with you, my lady, so that the chances of the Gu King appearing would be much higher." Huan Yanxi choked up even more as he heard Su Yueyao's gentle tone, which showed she didn't blame him.

Su Yueyao felt extremely sorry for Huan Yanxi when she saw him like this: "There is no Gu King in this pregnancy, it's just that the time is not right. I originally wanted to take good care of my body and go out, but it seems that Yanxi has made the decision for me."

“Let’s go straight to southern Xinjiang after the postpartum period. In three months, it will be winter in Fengdu. The weather will be warmer there if we head south. We can also enjoy the scenery. Once we get to southern Xinjiang, we’re sure we can find a suitable way to get there.”

Huan Yanxi was shocked when he heard Su Yueyao say this. He really didn't expect that his wife would be willing to go back to the Southern Frontier with him in order to give birth to a child with the Gu King.

"My lady... I don't deserve this, I..."

"How could it not be worth it? I promised you before that I would give you a child with the Gu King."
