Rebirth Counterattack with Space

"Mom, you guys arrived so quickly. When did you get here? And you didn’t even let me and Shitou know to pick you up from the airport." The next day, as soon as Lu Yun woke up and opened her eyes, she saw Xia Yuan sitting by her bed. She was startled for a moment before joyfully pouncing on her and hugging her neck playfully.

"Pick up what airport? We’re not visiting someone’s home, and it’s not our first time here. Do we really need to be that formal? Besides, who would dare to tire you out in your current condition?" Xia Yuan patted her back with a smile.

"I’m not some delicate porcelain doll that breaks easily. Don’t they say that pregnant women need to exercise more? Why is everyone suddenly making such a big fuss over me?"

Since yesterday, everyone had been treating Lu Yun with extra care. She knew her own body, and there was no way she would become fragile just because of a pregnancy. Yet everyone, from her grandparents to Shitou, seemed to think she was incredibly frail. If not for her protests, Shitou wouldn’t even let her walk on her own; he’d almost prefer to carry her every step of the way.

It was so embarrassing. She was a grown woman – being carried around like this, who wouldn’t think she was being overly sensitive?

"What do you know? ’Exercise more’ is for after the first three months. The first and last three months are dangerous times. If you dare to carelessly move too much and something happens to my dear grandchild, I won’t forgive you."

Xia Yuan threatened her with a stern face.

"Mom, are you really my mother? I tolerated you favoring Shitou when we were kids, even though it wasn’t that obvious, and I could pretend not to see it... But now you’re getting out of hand, starting to favor an embryo whose gender we don’t even know yet?"

Lu Yun suddenly became indignant. Filled with grievance, she looked at Xia Yuan with accusing eyes, "You need to get it straight. To you, I should be on the inside as your daughter, and the son-in-law, no matter how pleased you are with him, is on the outside. You’ve started calling it your grandson already – what if it’s a girl?"

"Stop nitpicking about ’inside’ and ’outside.’ To me, Shitou and you are no different – both inside. Really, the older you get, the less cute you become." Xia Yuan didn’t take Lu Yun’s grievances to heart, "Boy or girl, I’ll be happy with either. It would be best if you could give birth to twins at once. Our family has the genes for it."

She gave a significant nod, pretending to be serious, "I am biased, yes, because Shitou is more considerate than you. Before, without comparison, the difference wasn’t clear. But later, I realized that Shitou is indeed much better than both of you siblings."

"Mom, that’s too much..."

Lu Yun looked at Xia Yuan with sad anger, then with schadenfreude, "Hmph, you’re going to be disappointed this time, Shitou and I have checked with our psychic power, and there’s just one, not twins."

"No?"

Xia Yuan knew that with psychic power cultivation reaching a certain stage, one could perform an internal view. Hearing this, she indeed felt momentarily disappointed, but soon recovered, "It’s fine if it’s not twins. Twins are usually born prematurely, and if you two have your wedding within half a month, it won’t seem too inappropriate if the baby is born seven or eight months after the wedding. People might just think it’s a premature birth."

"Wouldn’t holding a wedding within half a month be too hasty?"

Lu Yun was stunned and suddenly felt overwhelmed, "The wedding can be held later on, anyway. We already have our marriage certificate and are legally husband and wife."

Actually, when Xia Yuan found out she was pregnant yesterday, she felt grateful for Old Master Pei’s foresight, for having the marriage certificate for her and Shitou prepared in advance.

"What do you know? Nowadays, what everybody really cares about is the wedding ceremony, not so much whether there’s a marriage certificate or not. Especially over in Yushu Village, if you don’t have a wedding ceremony and just have a child, there’s no guarantee people won’t gossip behind your back."

Xia Yuan tapped her head, "Would Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma wait to see you and Shitou talked about behind your backs? Just thinking about unknown people gossiping about you makes me feel uncomfortable. So no matter what, this wedding must happen."

"Mom, are you particularly unhappy about me getting pregnant now?"

When Lu Yun heard Xia Yuan say this, she was taken aback. She sighed, thinking about how her once-in-a-lifetime wedding would be put together in haste, she couldn’t help feeling reluctant. She wasn’t expecting a wedding of the century or anything, but at least the wedding dress and suit should be specially tailored.

"Who told you I’m unhappy? On the contrary, I’m too happy. Getting married and having children is something every woman goes through. How could I not be happy to see you marry someone you love who’s also especially reliable?"

Xia Yuan looked at Lu Yun with an incredulous expression, not knowing what was going through her little mind. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"We don’t need to do too much, just have one in Capital City and then another back in Yushu Village. They say many hands make light work, and although time is indeed tight, what Lu Group doesn’t lack is money and manpower."

"So don’t worry about half a month. If we just assign several times more staff, even if we only have a week to prepare, I guarantee we’ll put on a splendid wedding for you."

"Mom has it all figured out. When the time comes, we’ll directly airfreight loads of fresh flowers from KM to decorate the wedding venue, ensuring it’s both romantic and grand... For you and Shitou’s big life event, Mom and Dad absolutely won’t let anyone think you two are hastily throwing together this wedding."

"But what about the wedding dress and suit? We have half a month, and while we might be able to rush other things, what about the wedding attire? Are we to settle for something ready-made from outside?" Lu Yun looked at Xia Yuan with some worry as she voiced her concerns.

"Hehe, I’ve had that prepared for a while now, look. At that time, we just need to find someone to make a few alterations." Xia Yuan laughed proudly, stood up, and suddenly took out several model clothes hangers from the Space Stone and lined them up.

Lu Yun’s eyes widened at what she saw, her mouth almost unable to close. In front of her, there was a complete set of traditional Chinese wedding attire embroidered with dragons and phoenixes in red and gold; there were long wedding dresses encrusted with pearls and diamonds; and even several classic-looking Western outfits that seemed very familiar to her.

There were outfits for women, and no lack of matching ones for men.

"Mom, how come I knew nothing about when you prepared all these? And why do those outfits look so familiar?"

Lu Yun looked at Xia Yuan in astonishment, then got out of bed to touch the clothes. She discovered that each outfit in front of her was exceptionally surprising, not only finely made but also very much in line with her aesthetic taste.

"This wedding dress was designed for you by two of F Country’s top designers as soon as you told me you were with Shitou." Xia Yuan spoke with considerable pride about her early preparations at the time.
