Chapter 674: A Type of Torment

His delicate wife was right in front of him. He could look at her but could not eat her. That was also a kind of torment.

Most importantly, after Ling Tianya got pregnant, she was unlike other pregnant women. She did not become fat and ugly and did not lose her shape. Besides her stomach, there was not much change in Ling Tianya in terms of appearance. Her protruding stomach did not impact her aesthetically: it made her even more appealing.

“How about I return to Grandmother’s room?” Ling Tianya said. She felt like she was tormenting Ruan Zeyan by staying beside him like this.

Ruan Zeyan’s hand tightened around Ling Tianya, and he lightly kissed her forehead. “Don’t even think about it.”

Ling Tianya stopped smiling. He was probably afraid that if she stayed in Grandmother’s room for too long, she wouldn’t want to move back in with him after giving birth.

The days spent recuperating at home were quite peaceful. Zhi Ya Entertainment had always been under Cheng Chen’s management. She simply sat there waiting for the money to roll in. Therefore, she had nothing to worry about.

As for the cast and crew members, she had left everything to Zhang Ke. She had also told Zhang Ke to pay attention to Yu Luoluo’s progress as an intern. She only had to discreetly observe her and did not have to do anything.

Every now and then, Zhang Ke would stop by the mansion to visit Ling Tianya and chat with her about Yu Luoluo’s recent progression.

Yu Chenshi knew that Ling Tianya was recuperating at home and would come visit whenever she was free. Ling Tianya had hired a full-time housekeeper for Yu Chenshi who also knew how to drive. This way, Yu Chenshi could go wherever she wanted.

Ling Tao’s life was also enriched. Because he knew that Ling Tianya had many people caring for her and therefore did not need him, he lavished all of his attention on Xiao Hong.

Madame Ling, who was living in the countryside, had discovered Xiao Hong’s existence through some unknown means and wanted to come back to take care of Xiao Hong. She had wished for a child for so long and now there was one. No matter what, she wanted to personally see the child being born.

Ling Tao was a little troubled. He was the one who most understood Madame Ling’s personality. At first, he didn’t agree, but Madame Ling became sick, scaring Ling Tao.

In the end, after receiving Ling Tianya’s permission, Ling Tao finally brought Madame Ling back.

Follwing her return, she looked at Xiao Hong’s stomach every day. It was as if all of her sickness was gone. She was happy all the time and kept hoping for the child to be born. This put a lot of pressure on Xiao Hong. She feared that she wouldn’t bear a son and would disappoint Madame Ling.

In the seventh month of Ling Tianya’s pregnancy, Ling Tao brought Ling Tianxin, who had been recuperating at the hospital, home.

After a month of quiet treatment, the doctor said that Ling Tianya could try moving about outside. Despite this, Ling Tianya was not allowed to go to the institution to pick Ling Tianxin up and could only wait in the Ling house for her to arrive.

In the Ling house, Ling Tianya and Xiao Hong sat on the sofa. Ruan Zeyan went with Ling Tao to pick up Ling Tianxin. This was at Ling Tianya’s request. She couldn’t go, so Ruan Zeyan went in her place.

Ling Tianya and Xiao Hong often went to their prenatal examinations together, so they were familiar with each other. They were also similar to each other, and Xiao Hong no longer felt fearful of Ling Tianya so they could hold a conversation.

As they spoke, Madame Ling, who was on the sofa, was ignored. She unhappily stared at Xiao Hong who was chatting nonstop with Ling Tianya.

Xiao Hong usually did not get more than two words to Madame Ling and yet was so familiar with Ling Tianya.

As expected, she was someone who was clever. She knew that an old woman like her was useless, so she should curry favor with the girl Ling Tianya.
