No Intercourse in the First Trimester

“I..” Sheng Nanxuan looked towards Gong Mo and smiled apologetically. “Don’t be upset, Ma. I was only joking.”

“You’re not allowed to do that in the future, got it?” said a severe-looking Mama Gong.

“Understood,” answered Sheng Nanxuan hurriedly.

Mama Gong nodded satisfactorily before turning to Gong Mo. “And you, you’re already married, so don’t go looking at other men.”

Gong Mo looked at her gloomily. She had only commented upon it casually. Any normal person would question the sudden disappearance of a handsome chauffeur.

Mama Gong then said, “If you want to look at him, just observe quietly. Why did you have to mention it out loud?”

“Pfft!” Laughter escaped Fang Yang.

Sheng Nanxuan glared at him. Immediately, Fang Yang put on a sombre face and pretended that nothing happened.

“Alright, get in the car,” said Mama Gong. “We have to celebrate this joyous occasion!”

Mama Gong did not invite the relatives, so their guests consisted of only Fang Yang and Little Min, making a total of five people. Even though it was a little quiet, there were no barbed words being thrown around and no nasty people present, so they had a great time.

After the meal, Mama Gong asked, “Where are you going to sleep?”

“Uh..” Gong Mo froze. Tonight would be the night of their marriage, and by right, they shouldn’t sleep separately. However, she was now pregnant and they couldn’t do anything, so there was no need to stay together. She said in a small voice, “Aren’t I supposed to stay at home?”

“This is your wedding night. Are you not going to stay with Nanxuan?”

A blushing Gong Mo was silent.

Sheng Nanxuan said, “It’s inconvenient to sleep at the guesthouse. Should I just stay over at yours?”

“But you’re not marrying into our family..” said Mama Gong.

“It’s alright]. I don’t want to be a Sheng anyway.”

Mama Gong was stunned. She said empathetically, “It’s up to you, then.”

At night, the three of them watched television in the living room. Gong Mo could not concentrate on it for she was mulling over the problem of that night’s sleeping arrangements.

Suddenly, Mama Gong stood up, yawned, and said, “I’m going to bed. The two of you should sleep early as well. Oh, and you shouldn’t be having intercourse in your first trimester. Even though today is your wedding night, you have to restrain yourself.”

Gong Mo looked down, not daring to look at her mother.

Sheng Nanxuan said calmly, “Understood, Ma.”

“Sleep early, then.” Mama Gong went to her room.

Sheng Nanxuan said to Gong Mo, “I’ll go take a shower.”

Gong Mo nodded. When he went to the toilet, she immediately turned off the television and went back to her room. She had already showered before dinner, so she could go to sleep immediately!

Gong Mo lay on the bed and closed her eyes, but sleep did not come. A while later, Sheng Nanxuan entered. He smelled manly.

He walked over to the bed and whispered, “Are you asleep?”

Gong Mo froze and flipped over to look at him.

“I can sleep on the sofa so that you’ll have more space,” he said as he walked out.

“No!” Gong Mo sat up. “It’s our wedding night. It’s better to not be separated or it’ll be inauspicious.”

Sheng Nanxuan nodded and sat down by the bed. “I’ll sleep on the edge, then. Call if you need me.”

“.. Alright.” Gong Mo lay down slowly.

Sheng Nanxuan turned off the light and lay down as well. Gong Mo felt a little nervous and could not fall asleep.

Sheng Nanxuan rested his head above his arm and made small talk. “Give me your identification tomorrow. I’m going to book the flight tickets.”

“Oh, sure. When are we leaving?” asked Gong Mo softly.

“When do you want to leave?”

“Uh..” She didn’t actually want to leave.

She could not bear to leave this place and she was also afraid of going to a strange place. If she could, she would have liked to extend their stay indefinitely, but she knew that was impossible.

She said helplessly, “Any day will do.”
