Chapter 103: A New Life

Shuaichang no longer needed to consult the spirit group; he recognized Wei Yanze at first glance.
Wei Yanze was thin, with little extra flesh on his face or body, but his belly was shockingly large, resembling a small mountain towering over his fragile form.
The pupils beneath Wei Yanze’s eyelids moved slightly, prompting Shuaichang to lean in. Wei Yanze slowly opened his hazel eyes.
“Yanze, don’t worry, you’re okay, and the baby is fine,” Shuaichang comforted, holding Wei Yanze’s cold hand.
Wei Yanze breathed a sigh of relief, his expression easing. He was extremely excited about the small life growing inside him and couldn’t imagine what would happen if something went wrong.
“Zhengting, you should go home and rest. I can manage here by myself.” As a consort, Wei Yanze had been instilled with the need to obey Zhou Zhengting since he was young. He always thought of Zhou Zhengting’s well-being, and even when he was sick in the hospital, his first concern was for Zhou Zhengting, urging him to go home.
Shuaichang pressed a gentle kiss into Wei Yanze’s damp hair. “Darling will stay with you. This baby is mine too, isn’t it?” His large hand tenderly covered Wei Yanze’s belly.
Surprise flickered in Wei Yanze’s hazel eyes. Zhou Zhengting had never treated him this way; he had always been polite to others but ordered Wei Yanze around. Since when did he speak so softly to him?
Wei Yanze’s gaze lingered on the big hand resting on his belly, his expression softening. Was it because of the baby? Did Zhou Zhengting like this child too?
The assistant called, saying that the caregiver would bring lunch over at noon. Wei Yanze praised, “I won’t go to the company before I’m discharged; if anything comes up, ask Zhengfei.” Zhou Zhengfei was Zhou Zhengting’s younger brother, the only one from the Zhou family who treated Wei Yanze well and would fight for him.
However, Wei Yanze’s compliance was deeply ingrained in him, and despite Zhou Zhengfei’s anger at his weakness, he eventually turned a blind eye.
At noon, a young man knocked and entered the VIP room, carrying two thermal containers. Dressed in a light casual outfit, he exuded a refreshing aura that felt more like a visitor than a caregiver.
“Hello, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou. I’m Deng Jie, the caregiver introduced by Assistant Yu.”
Shuaichang stood up and shook hands with Deng Jie. “Mr. Deng, please take care of Yanze for the next few days.”
Deng Jie was taken aback. “Mr. Zhou, you’re too polite. Just call me Deng Jie.”
Deng Jie placed the thermal containers on the light blue bedside cabinet and helped Wei Yanze set up the makeshift dining table.
“Mrs. Zhou, I made corn and pork rib soup and stir-fried baby bok choy, with steamed sesame rolls as the main dish—easy to digest.”
Deng Jie asked Shuaichang, “Mr. Zhou, is it alright for Mrs. Zhou to sit for a while?”
Shuaichang was uncertain, so he called the nurse at the front desk. The nurse consulted the doctor and said it was fine for a short while, but the patient needed to rest in bed.
Hearing this, Deng Jie cautiously assisted Wei Yanze.
Fearing that Deng Jie might hurt Wei Yanze while helping him sit up, Shuaichang extended his hand from the other side and gently assisted Wei Yanze into an upright position.
Deng Jie set the food on the table. With his hands and feet swollen, Wei Yanze found it difficult to use chopsticks. Shuaichang sat beside him and said, “Yanze, I’ll feed you.”
Deng Jie looked at them enviously. “Mrs. Zhou, you are really lucky to have such a loving husband.”
Wei Yanze smiled softly at Deng Jie, feeling extraordinarily flattered. Today’s actions from Zhou Zhengting were unexpected, leaving him moved yet slightly uneasy, fearing that this kindness was merely fleeting.
The author has something to say: Giving birth, I don’t know if you will be shocked…
The protagonist will lovingly pamper his wife and give birth, slapping the villains in the face.
Chapter 63: He Has Two Faces 2
In this world, there are three genders: men, women, and men who can give birth, commonly known as “Shuanger.”
Wei Yanze is a Shuanger.
Wei Yanze is two years younger than Zhou Zhengting and was taught to follow Zhou Zhengting’s lead since childhood, doing whatever he asked. Even the children of Zhou Zhengting’s relatives would find amusement in teasing him.
Wei Yanze’s character was soft, lacking understanding of resistance. When bullied, he had no one to confide in, gradually forming a character with strong stress resistance.
This allowed him to endure for so long when Zhou Zhengting subjected him to violence later on.
The world treated him poorly, yet he had two little angels; his children were his only redemption.
After lunch, Wei Yanze lay tiredly in bed. He felt uncomfortable and knew he would need to turn soon, but his heavy belly made it difficult to move.
Deng Jie was always able to see through his thoughts, asking ahead of time and helping him to turn over. He would need to turn six or seven times an hour, which made Wei Yanze feel somewhat apologetic.
“Deng Jie, I’m really sorry for troubling you today.” Wei Yanze sincerely thanked Deng Jie.
Deng Jie widened her eyes in surprise. “Mrs. Zhou, please don’t say that! Mr. Zhou hired me to help lighten your load. Helping you with these things is what I’m here for.”
Yet Wei Yanze replied, “Even if it’s supposed to be that way, another person wouldn’t do it as well as you. That’s why I want to express my gratitude.”
Seeing Deng Jie about to object, Shuaichang chimed in, “Deng Jie, Yanze is kind-hearted by nature and knows how to be grateful. He remembers everyone’s kindness and truly means to thank you.”
Only then did Deng Jie stop arguing, silently massaging Wei Yanze’s legs with an increasingly delicate touch, relieving the swelling and numbness in Wei Yanze’s limbs.
Such specialized tasks as leg massages should naturally be handled by a professional like Deng Jie, but Shuaichang stayed in the ward, not without doing something.
Wei Yanze’s large belly pressed on his bladder, making him need to use the restroom about half an hour after drinking water. Though Deng Jie offered support, stating he was also a Shuanger, Wei Yanze firmly refused to let her help with such matters.
In the end, it was still Shuaichang, as Wei Yanze’s husband, who took on this responsibility.
In the afternoon, when Wei Yanze’s belly wasn’t hurting as much, he closed his eyes for a short nap. Upon waking, he looked toward Zhou Zhengting, who was sitting nearby.
Shuaichang had been monitoring Wei Yanze while playing on his phone. Seeing him open his eyes, he hurriedly set aside his phone and approached him, softly asking, “Yanze, do you need to go to the restroom?”
