Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: Psychological Shadow

Su Jun was embarra.s.sed and shyly scratched his head, “Sorry, I will change in the future.”

“I don’t believe that.”

“Neither do I.”

The two of them went back and forth, criticizing Su Jun for quite a while before he could lift his head again, making promises and apologizing until the matter was finally dropped. But just as it was dropped, Su Qing followed up with a statement, “Big sister is pregnant, did you know?”

“What?” Su Jun was stunned, looking foolishly at Su Wen.

“You really didn’t know.” Su Qing smiled slyly.

“Exactly.” Su Xiu nodded vigorously, still very angry that Su Jun, since going to school, had neither returned home nor called.

“You’re really not cutting it as a fifth aunt.”

Shocked and delighted by this news, Su Jun moved closer to Su Wen and anxiously looked at her stomach, wanting but not daring to touch it, her eyes filled with sheer joy. Then, seeming to remember something, she suddenly became nervous, pressing her lips together, her eyes filled with concern.

“This… this is great news, but…” Su Jun suddenly remembered her mother’s painful memories of dystocia while giving birth to her little sister. She was old enough then to vividly remember the scenes of her mother’s difficulties, which left a deep impression on her.

So after the initial joy, she was all fear, afraid that Big sister might also be in danger, and even more afraid that Big sister might end up like their mother. In fact, with her current knowledge, she well understood that as long as the pregnant woman is healthy and not ill, with today’s medical standards, there would be no danger.

But knowing that and facing the prospect of her most beloved person giving birth were two different things. No amount of theoretical knowledge could alleviate her tension.

Su Wen was still puzzled by Su Jun’s abnormal reaction, but Su Qing really knew.

In fact, she first felt joy when she learned Big sister was pregnant, followed by deep concern. She even had a nightmare that night. She had always masked it well, not showing any signs outwardly. Having experienced the painful loss of their mother to dystocia, a deep scar had already been left in her heart.

Fearful that she might lose someone she cared about deeply.

But Su Qing also realized something—Big sister and Mother were completely different. The reason Mother had such a difficult birth and died was entirely because Ma Xiulan was too evil, constantly cursing and pressuring their mother, causing her to suffer a miscarriage due to stress during pregnancy and have a poor mental state throughout.

The blame was entirely on Ma Xiulan.

Thinking of how their mother was intentionally killed by Ma Xiulan, she felt that their last visit to Trinity Village was too lenient.

Ma Xiulan was a person whose death would be no great loss.

“Don’t be afraid.” Su Qing pulled Su Jun aside, and the sisters stood in the hallway, speaking softly, “I know what you are worried about, but your concern is totally valid. Brother-in-law would follow Big sister around 24/7 if he could, ensuring she’s looked after in every possible way; we are also very nervous and won’t let anything happen to Big sister.”

Su Qing originally wanted to add that they would make sure Big sister stays in a good mood, but recalling how, upon learning the truth about her pregnancy, Big sister nearly had a miscarriage due to emotional distress, she found herself unable to speak the words.

She silently vowed to herself that she must work even harder and not let Big sister worry about the studio’s affairs.

“Then… then should I take a leave? Perhaps I could return to school after Big sister has safely given birth?” Su Jun’s palms were sweaty with nervousness.

“That won’t be necessary. There are so many people watching over her! And besides, considering how long it would be, do you think the school would even approve your leave?”
