Chapter 1356: Chapter 1382: Giving Birth to Triplets 3
"..."
Jiang Tian’s mouth twitched, then she slowly said, "No, Mom, Mr. Lu didn’t push me. It was because I recklessly went into his room and broke his things. He was careless, he didn’t do it on purpose."
Liu Qian was stunned. "Really? You’re not lying to me?"
Jiang Tian shook her head. "Really. And earlier I almost fell, it was Mr. Lu who grabbed me. He actually cares a lot about the baby."
Liu Qian let out a breath. So that brat had just been spouting angry nonsense. He’d scared her to death; she really thought she’d given birth to a beast who could be cruel to his own flesh and blood.
She said sternly,
"Even if that’s how it was, he’s still at fault. You’re his wife, his room is your room. If you want to go in, you go in. How is that ’reckless’?"
Although Jiang Tian felt Liu Qian’s words were a bit too absolute, she was smart enough not to argue. She just listened obediently, anyway it went in her left ear and out her right.
After venting enough about Lu Xingshen, Liu Qian looked at Jiang Tian and said,
"Tiantian, you give the baby a name, so I can go register his household."
Jiang Tian thought for a moment. "Let Mr. Lu name him."
Liu Qian said, "What kind of name could he come up with? Besides, he didn’t take care of you at all while you were pregnant. You should be the one to think of it—only you have that right."
Jiang Tian was silent for a few seconds. "Let’s call him Lu Zhou—Zhou as in ’five continents and four seas’."
Liu Qian clapped her hands. "That’s a grand name. Lu Zhou it is."
With the child’s name decided, Liu Qian asked Aunt Zhang to look after Jiang Tian and went off, busy with getting the child’s household registration done.
Her job kept her busy, and she could only stay with Jiang Tian for her confinement month. That bastard Lu Xingshen was obviously not someone you could entrust things to, so Liu Qian handled all the follow-up matters for the child herself.
Jiang Tian waited an entire day for Lu Xingshen, and all she got was one reply: What the hell do you think you are? You think you deserve fish soup from me? I was just fooling you, and you actually believed it?
Jiang Tian felt dazed, as if a piece of her heart had been hollowed out. So the tenderness she thought she understood in him had all been an act.
Toward her, he had never once shown even the slightest bit of gentleness.

"Ah Yan, Sister Tian has given birth, it’s a boy!"
Far away on Cold Island, Nianyang received the letter and happily told Li Tingyan.
"Mm, mm, slow down, be careful of your belly."
Li Tingyan answered absentmindedly, his whole heart on his wife, not caring whether some other woman had a son or daughter.
Nianyang leaned on his shoulder, smiling,
"I’m going to give birth soon too. I really want to meet my baby quickly. I’ve already thought of their nicknames—the older one will be Dabao, the younger one Xiaobao."
"..."
What utterly zero-skill names.
Li Tingyan thought to himself but didn’t dare say it. He pretended to sound expectant. "Mm, it’ll be soon. Just wait patiently."

After the seeds in the greenhouse sprouted, everyone was excited and worked even harder.
Very soon, the fastest-growing romaine lettuce and scallions, and the chives, had all grown and were ready to harvest.
So everyone was busy again, working like crazy. With her due date approaching, Nianyang stopped helping deliver babies and just walked around the house every day to avoid any accidents.
But an accident still happened.
That morning, the Saozis from the family compound rushed over in panic to find Nianyang and Li Tingyan.
"Master Li, Sister Chu, this is bad, something’s happened—our fields were sabotaged, lots of vegetables are ruined."
Nianyang’s expression grew serious. She exchanged a look with Li Tingyan, and the same meaning flashed in both their eyes.
The fish has finally taken the bait.
