Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Chapter 504: Blissful Sweetness

Gu Junming agreed with a smile and went home with Sun Chan. Not only did the old man not charge them, but he also gave them a lot of sausages.

The two of them didn’t speak on the way back, not knowing what to say to express their feelings. Gu Junming held Sun Chan’s hand tightly, feeling very emotional.

Sun Chan glanced at Gu Junming and smiled, "Don’t be nervous."

"I’m not nervous."

"But your forehead is sweating. Medical technology is really good now, there won’t be any issues."

Gu Junming chuckled and squeezed Sun Chan’s hand tighter, "Alright, I know. Don’t make fun of me."

His wife was pregnant, but he was even more nervous, more so than when he led troops on a mission. Thinking about the bumpy train ride earlier, he felt scared. They had to get a sleeper ticket for the return trip, that’s for sure.

Father Wang and Mrs. Wang were anxiously waiting at home. Seeing the pair return with happy faces, they were aware and very delighted, welcoming them warmly.

"Is it cold? Come in quickly, I’ve made porridge. Eat some later."

"I’m not hungry, actually. I can’t eat much," Sun Chan said softly.

Gu Junming said, "Just some porridge will do. She doesn’t eat much in the morning, oh, maybe make an egg?"

"Yes, make an egg. I almost forgot." Mrs. Wang quickly rushed to the kitchen.

Father Wang followed, "Slow down! What if you fall?" The couple’s relationship was getting better and better.

Sun Chan wanted to help in the kitchen, but Gu Junming stopped her, "You just sit and relax."

"That’s not right. I used to be a guest; now, I’m family. How can I do nothing?"

"Don’t I count?" Gu Junming smiled, "I rarely return home. Let me show my filial piety. I’ll handle everything here. If you’re really bored, just do some sketching."

Sun Chan was about to argue when Gu Junming placed a hand on her belly, smilingly talking about the baby needing rest.

She had no choice but to agree, touching her belly while Gu Junming went out to help. She indeed saw a lot of good clothing styles on the train, some with particularly unique pockets and sleeves, so she sketched them out in her notebook. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After making several sketches, she felt a bit tired and lay down to sleep.

Gu Junming came in with a bowl of soup and seeing her asleep, did not want to disturb her. He quietly walked out.

In the afternoon, in a drowsy state, Sun Chan heard joyous laughter in the next room. It turned out that people had heard Gu Junming and Sun Chan were back and came to visit. The delighted Mrs. Wang showed others the things Sun Chan’s couple brought, making them envious.

Sun Chan listened to the flattery towards her in-laws and didn’t join in, choosing to close her eyes and continue sleeping.

Because Sun Chan was pregnant, their New Year’s Eve meal was very simple. Many greasy dishes were avoided, replaced with lighter foods, alternating between chicken and fish soup. Sun Chan helped with what she could—she was the one who posted the couplets.

When others saw her, they quickly gathered around, talking about Sun Chan.

"This new daughter-in-law is really beautiful, isn’t she?"

Sun Chan smiled without comment. Ding Hu just didn’t want to put in effort and wanted to rely on others for a shortcut to success. But Liu Dafen was known to be assertive, likely making it hard for him to gain any advantage.

She also thought about Liu Mei, even heavier than before. What if something happened to her health?

Nonetheless, Sun Chan treated it as mere gossip, unable to care about it. However, she missed Wang Dan a little and thought she should visit her properly before leaving.

At night, in bed, Gu Junming watched Sun Chan keep smiling and asked curiously, "What’s up?"

"Hmm. I’m just imagining what Liu Mei looks like at two hundred pounds?" she replied with a cheerful smile.

Gu Junming was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled, "I’ll take you to see her when the time comes."

"Never mind, it’s quite taxing." The travel between the two villages was a half-hour walk at most, but Sun Chan wasn’t eager to see her past villagers. Last life they were mostly indifferent or scornful to her plight; there was nothing worth seeing.

"It’s fine if you don’t go. I’ve asked someone to help us get sleeper tickets. We can’t risk the same discomfort on the way back; we must be cautious."

Sun Chan nodded, leaning against Gu Junming, her hand playing with the buttons on his woolen shirt, her face radiant with a smile, as beautiful as blooming peach blossoms.

Gu Junming was captivated, the dim bulb in the countryside cast a soft glow, enhancing Sun Chan’s beauty.

He felt a fiery warmth in his chest. Closing his eyes, he patted Sun Chan, "Sleep."

Seeing Gu Junming trying to suppress himself, Sun Chan thought for a moment, reaching her small hand under, "Let me help you."
