In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1214 The wife should like it, right?

"Zixu, move aside a bit, the Empress hasn't seen Pu'an's child yet!" The First Prince reminded Pu'an and the child, who had been pushed aside again.

Lin Zixu immediately realized what was happening and gave up his spot, saying apologetically to Pu An, "I'm so sorry, Pu An, come here quickly and let my wife see the child."

Su Yueyao looked at Pu An, who had been silently waiting with the child in his arms the whole time.

He seemed to have been quiet ever since she gave birth, not deliberately getting close to her, and holding the baby as if he didn't want anyone to see him.

For some reason, Pu An sensed that he was in a low mood and something seemed off.

“Puan, come here quickly, let me see the child, and see if she looks like you or me.”

Hearing the expectation in Su Yueyao's tone, Pu An smiled and walked over with the child in his arms, bending down to let her see the baby.

Looking at the sleeping child, Su Yueyao asked curiously, "Huh...this child is asleep? Wasn't he crying just now?"

"She was scared and cried a few times, but she stopped crying after I comforted her and just fell asleep," Pu An said softly.

"Really? It seems she cares about you as her father and isn't making a fuss!" Su Yueyao teased with a smile.

Pu An looked at the child in her arms and nodded gently: "Sisi is indeed very well-behaved and easy to take care of. Does my wife like Sisi?"

Su Yueyao smiled and gently touched the child's face, asking, "The child's name is Sisi? Is it the 'Si' in 'to miss'? She's my daughter, how could I not love her?"

"My lady, I've named our child Su Musi, with the nickname Sisi."

"My wife... thank you for giving me a home, for allowing me to have children, and for loving our child," Pu An said softly.

Su Yueyao could still sense a deep unease in his words.

What was Pu An so uneasy about? His behavior made Su Yueyao feel very uncomfortable.

"No need to thank me, we're family. You're the only one left in the Pu family. You can consider having the child take your surname," Su Yueyao said with a hint of probing.

“My lady, no need. The Pu family... to me, is a thing of the past. From the moment I married you, I belonged only to you.” Pu An refused without any hesitation.

"Pu..."

Su Yueyao was about to say something to Pu An when she saw Yang Qianxun and the others still in the courtyard.

"Qianqian, I'm a little sleepy. Can Pu Anpei give me a break? You all go ahead and do your own things for a while."

"If you have something to do, you can come and talk to me later."

Hearing Su Yueyao's words, Yang Qianxun knew that she wanted to have a good talk with Pu An, and nodded: "My lady, let's take care of other things first, and come over later."

Su Yueyao nodded, Yang Qianxun walked towards the door, and the others bowed and left in turn.

After watching them leave, Su Yueyao glanced at Pu An, who looked somewhat flustered.

"My wife...you..."

"Pu An, come sit next to me." Su Yueyao smiled and gestured for Pu An to come over.

Pu An paused, a conflicted expression appearing on his face for the first time, but he still carried the child to the low stool next to Su Yueyao and sat down.

I'm just feeling a little uneasy. Sisi was very well-behaved just now. My wife must like that, right?

He's been so busy with court affairs lately that he hasn't had a moment to spare. Does his wife think he's spending too little time with her?

Su Yueyao looked at Pu An, who was standing motionless with his head down.

"Puyan, are you unhappy? Is something on your mind?"

"Ah..." Pu An didn't expect Su Yueyao to ask this, and looked up at Su Yueyao in confusion and shock.

"Since you gave birth, I've seen you less often, and most of the time you've been silent. Has something happened?"

Pu An trembled slightly upon hearing Su Yueyao's concerned words.

Seeing Pu An like this, Su Yueyao reached out and took his hand.

"What happened? Is there something you didn't handle well, or are you facing a problem you can't solve?"

"My lady...no, no, it's just that I...I was thinking about some unpleasant things and felt a little down. I didn't expect you to notice," Pu An explained in a flustered manner.

"So that's it, it was you..."

Su Yueyao paused, having guessed what was going on: "Do you want to tell me? Is it something that you remembered that has upset you and made you unsure how to face me? Pu An, if you want to talk, I'm listening. If you don't want to, that's fine too. Everyone has their own secrets."

"No matter what, you will always be my husband, and I will never abandon you and our child."

Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Pu An's eyes flickered slightly. He pursed his lips and remained motionless, causing the entire courtyard to fall silent.

Su Yueyao waited quietly for Pu An to speak, hoping that this might be an opportunity to completely resolve Pu An's inner conflict.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but just when she thought Pu An wouldn't speak, his muffled voice came out: "My lady... I am not the child my mother and father hoped I would be born."

"My father was very much loved by my mother, and she gave birth to three boys in a row. When my mother became pregnant with me, my father's reaction was stronger than that of his three older brothers. Moreover, the doctor said that there was almost a greater than 50% chance that it was a girl."

"The father and mother were very happy and eagerly awaiting the birth of their daughter."

"But no one expected it to be a boy. When my mother found out I was a boy after giving birth to me, she was devastated and very disappointed. My father, on the other hand, probably wished I were dead when he found out I was a boy!"

"So they disliked me and ignored my existence since I was a child. No matter how well I performed or how hard I tried, they seemed to be unable to see me."

"Because of their disregard for the other brothers in the family, they have bullied me in various ways since I was a child. After I came of age, neither my father nor my mother was willing to consider my marriage."

"I lived a miserable and difficult life in the first half of my life. I never thought about getting married when I was young. So when I was old, they wanted to marry me off to a queen who was more than 30 years older than me to bring benefits to the head of the family."

"I refused, and I resisted fiercely. I almost didn't survive. I still can't forget the cold look in my mother's eyes when she looked at me. It wasn't like she was looking at a child, but at an enemy."

"It wasn't until I was too old and was assigned to the army by the government that I finally got rid of the Pu family. The unexpected incident that happened to the Pu family was something I orchestrated behind the scenes."

"After that, my wife probably knows everything." Pu An finished speaking, not daring to look at Su Yueyao, his voice trembling slightly.
