OUR HAPPILY EVER AFTER (A WANGXIAN STORY)
Chapter Part 50
"Mother..."
The woman in her late forties inhaled the sweet fragrance of Jasmine in her tea as she sipped. Her thoughts going over her daughter's tale. It was her third visit since JingFei's distress letter reached her. Indeed Lan Shufen was enraged by the report of how Lan Xichen locked her daughter up and made her miserable. Had she known Zewujun would have been the opposite of what she perceived of him, that marriage would have never taken place.
Lan Shufen cut off JingFei's narrative when it got to the issue of Lan HuiZhong. "JingFei, Lan Xichen may have soiled your son by bestowing a cursed name upon him but he is still blood. That boy is not to be blamed for his father's mistakes.", She frowned.
"But mother..."
"Be quiet! No wonder I never see him when I visit. Lan HuiZhong is the heir of the Clan, have you lost your mind?", Shufen put down her teacup; a disapproving look locked on her only daughter.
"No...This child growing inside me should be the only heir of the clan. That brat is not welcome in my presence.", JingFei broke her calm nature.
Her mother chuckled. "A'Fei, know whom you're talking to.", Her dominant voice cooed. JingFei lowered her eyes, pursing her lips lest she said anything to upset her mother. Shufen smiled, cupping her precious daughter's face; her love and tenderness returned as she stroke JingFei's cheeks. Shufen had many sons but JingFei, her only daughter, had always been her number one priority, that's why she paired her with the most powerful man in their clan.
"Don't fret my dear, it is not healthy for the baby... If having Lan HuiZhong bothers you so much, then let me take him when your baby is born."
"Mother if I let you take that boy, then how will he suffer? I want A'Jiang to feel my pain by giving Lan Jun all the love he will never have. He has to see it with his own eyes when I put my baby on a pedestal and destroy the very image his father worked so hard to preserve for him.", Lan JingFei sobbed.
"Oh my precious child, I admire your strength...But instead of torturing my innocent Grandson, why don't you punish the person that stole your place. The actual person you hate the most.", Shufen let go of Madam Lan and sat up properly, her peach-colored dress breathes when she sighed. "I will help you... but in the end, you will release my first grandson to me.", Shufen said. JingFei bowed her head slightly and raised the corners of her lips. For now, she will make do with this...

They arrived at the pier not long after sunset. Well, they would have reached sooner if someone did not act hysterical along the way, demanding things the baby certainly wouldn't agree with. "Uncle!", Muyun run toward Wei Ying, ready to jump into his arms when Wangji blocked his path and picked him up instead.
"Hey, Lan Zhan! He clearly wanted to come to me.", Wei Ying pouted. "My love, you're not allowed to carry anyone heavier than the one inside.", Lan Wangji walked ahead, restricting himself from looking at Wei Ying's scrunched face. Ju and Cheng exchanged glances after that statement. Muyun kept stretching his hand toward Wei Ying over Wangji's shoulders.
"Come mother, let me help you.", Sizhui reached for his hand. "No no no, I brought you here to rest. It's your father that needs to do this.", Wei Ying grinned at his son then sharply turned to growl at Lan Wangji. The man felt that glare behind him.
Hanguanjun handed Muyun over to a servant. Eyes stuck on his brother's frame covered by a huge coat, "Why are you wearing that when you're already home?", Jiang Cheng asked. He and Jiang Ju had been waiting for the big reveal since that letter.
"You should ask Lil Fuddy Duddy here! Lan Zhan, it's really hot in this.", Wei Ying complained. Jiang Ju held onto her husband's arm, squeezing it as Wangji proceeded to take off the cover. "Husband, it's about to go down.", Ju whispered to Wanyin and he nodded slightly.
At last, the veil was off and Wei Ying's fullness starred them in the face. "A, A'Ju, do you see that too?", Jiang Cheng's face turned ashen. "Y, Yes A'Cheng...It's almost as big as mine.", The Lady whispered back. They were completely stunned.
"Well, say something!!", Wei Ying waved his hands. Jiang Cheng snapped out of his state and went over. After going round his elder brother twice, he stopped in front of him, staring stupidly at the bump.
"Here, let me help you register it in your brain.", Wei Ying snatched his palm and placed it on his belly. As if by instinct, the baby kicked and the Sect Leader withdrew his hands, hissing like he'd been bitten by a snake. "Hah! It moves!", he cried out.
"Of course he does, isn't that how they behave? This one kicks like he has a grudge against me.", Wei Ying rolled his eyes.
"Brother, who did this to you!!", Wanyin grabbed Wei Ying's shoulders with a frightening look on his face. "Who else, isn't it obvious who the culprit is?! ...And he won't even let me have candied fruits.", Wei Ying stretched his neck to eye someone. Wangji could not even defend himself when Wanyin scowled at him...
A Week Later...
Jiang Cheng watched as his brother was overpampered. The Jade was always at his beck and call and it was beginning to disturb him. Soon Jiang Wanyin made it a competition. Of course, Jiang Ju benefitted from this but Hanguanjun was not even aware of what his show of affection was doing to the Sect Leader. And Wei Ying, he became more spoiled. As decided before, Lan Sizhui returned after seven days to see to the construction at the Jingshi.

Lan HuiZhong broke into a sprint when Cuifen appeared in his room. 'Finally, Mother wants to see me.', He giggled from excitement. Some of the disciples cautioned him to slow down but he didn't care that running was against the rules. When he fell he dusted himself and continued; hopping from time to time from the pain.
"Mother I'm... Sorry, hello Grandmother.", HuiZhong bowed hastily after rushing into his mother's room; his heart still racing from the speed. JingFei turned her head immediately he entered, not sparing him a glance.
"Come, Grandson, you don't need to be formal with me. Sit on your Grandmother's lap.", Lan Shufen chuckled lightly. HuiZhong's smile shrunk as he walked to her. His mother's reaction made it clear she was not the one that sent for him.
"Oh my, you've grown bigger since last I set eyes on you, my little Jiang. I brought you a present, do you want to see it?", Shufen was fond of her grandson. She loved the boy because he belonged to her favorite child. Too bad that child didn't want him.
"A'Jiang, how would you feel about visiting I and your Grandfather for a while?", Shufen played with the boy's hair. HuiZhong warmed up to her in no time. She had his mother's smile. It was like being in the arms of a JingFei that wanted him.
"Mother, stop filling his head with ideas. There's no way his father will agree to it?", JingFei leaned back into the bed; her protruding stomach was weighing her down.
"Why not? I'm sure my handsome boy would love to see where his mother grew up, wouldn't you?", Shufen kissed the boy's forehead. Lan Jiang nodded affirmatively. "Great, I will talk it over with your father. Go back to your room, your gift will be waiting for you.", the woman straightened the boy's robe when he got up.
HuiZhong took short paces toward his mother but turned away sadly when JingFei shooed him off with her hand. Shufen scolded her, but that only made the boy feel worse.
*********************************************************************************************
Wei Ying was at it again, making Lan Wangji go crazy. This time he was not demanding for his favorite candied fruits but something Wangji did his best to avoid. "Wei Ying, what are you doing.", Wangji was awoken by the tugging of his undergarments.
"Nothing, nothing, go back to sleep.", his wife waved a hand then continued pulling, this time a little faster. Wangji caught his hands and sat up. "Wei Ying, you don't expect me to do it with you at this stage, do you?"
"Why not, besides it was your wood that kept crying for help... I was just minding my own business when little Wangji called out to me. See for yourself", Wei Ying tried to grab it and Wangji wooshed back. "Wei Ying, stop!"
"Lan Zhan, why are you being stingy?!", Wei Wuxian cried out loud, making a moue after clicking his tongue.
"Please Wei Ying, you should be resting right now.", Wangji was as patient as always.
"I'm tired of sleeping! I want it now. Come on Gege, 'Every day means every day' right? We've not done it for months. Just this once pleaseeee.", Wei Ying pleaded with a nasal tone that made Wangji gulp.
"..."
"Fine! You don't want me because I'm fat, well I hope you like sleeping alone!!.", Wei Ying crawled out of the bed.
"Wei Ying, wait. There's nothing wrong with how you look...I can use my hand.", Wangji wanted to bargain. "Did your hand get me pregnant?!", Wei Ying spat out. Lan Wangji nearly choked holding back a laugh. Hopefully, Wei Ying did not see that.
"I don't want to hurt you, Wei Ying."
"Wangji, my body is on fire and that's what you're worried about... Stop being stubborn. I know you're also suffering", he licked his lips seductively as he slipped into Wangji's arms with a grin; playfully biting on his lower lip. Hanguanjun groaned as his eyes closed. It shot open the moment Wei Ying had access to his member. " Stop it! I'm not going to do it!", Lan Wangji stressed. Wei Ying yelped from the tight grip on his wrist and Wangji immediately released his hands. "Wei Ying, I'm..."
"Don't touch me... I'm going to bed.", Wei Wuxian held his hurting wrist as he walked past him, and cautiously climbed the bed again. Lying on his side with his back facing his husband, he began to sob. "Wei Ying, please let me see it. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I don't care, just stay on your side of the damn bed!", the other sulked. Lan Wangji crept closer and snaked his hand over the belly. "Lan Zhan, I'll leave this room if you don't take your hands off!"
"Wei Ying..."
"Yeesh!", Wei Ying attempted to move.
"Okay, okay just try and get some sleep.", Wangji retreated and left a distance between them. He truly felt terrible. For the rest of the night, Lan Wangji listened to Wei Ying sob until sleep finally grabbed him.
The next two days welcomed a new level of drama. Wei Ying refused to let Wangji take care of him. The crazy side was he now wanted Jiang Cheng to do it. His brother gritted his teeth every time his eyes landed on Lan Wangji- he had found out how hard it was to refuse a pregnant Wei Ying. "A'Cheng, candied fruits...I think I can climb this tree... Aish, my feet hurts, can you rub it?", the demands were overwhelming. Wangji had to watch from the sidelines with puppy eyes while the love of his life refused to look his way.
"The first time is always rough...Hanguanjun, I know why he's mad at you.", Jiang Ju sat next to him. "Is his wrist ok?", Wangji lowered his eyes. "Oh that, he's not upset about it anymore.", Lady Ju chuckled.
The dejected look on Wangji's face was almost unbearable to watch. Jiang Ju felt sorry for the man. Leaning forward a bit, she said, "Brother-In-Law, during my first pregnancy the physician advised that I spend more time in my husband's room. You can give Wei Ying what he wants. Just be gentle and use safer positions."
It was a bit odd for the Jade, hearing such things from a woman but Wangji thanked the Lady of the house for her words and asked if she needed any help. Of course, Ju did not pass at the offer and made Wangji accompany her for her afternoon walk just to pay back Wei Ying for stealing her husband for two days.
That evening, Lan Wangji waited for Wei Ying to return to their room. "Wei Ying, I'll run you a bath. Do your feet hurt?", he rushed to his side. "Hmph! I'm ok...Oh and I ate all the candied fruits I wanted. The vendor thanked me very much.", Wei Ying bragged.
Wangji took a deep breath, he wouldn't want to ruin things by nagging yet he couldn't help it. "Wei Ying, I only limit your intake because too much sugar is not good for your health."
Wei Ying smirked. He only had three skewered candied fruits but thought it would be more fun to torment his husband. After the warm bath, he sat down waiting for someone to dress him up. Wei Ying froze when Lan Wangji came in with a piece of cloth around his waist. His mouth slowly dropped as his husband looked his way; thick black hair lying loosely over his naked chest. Small drops of water traveling down his chin. It seemed like Wangji was intentionally teasing him.
'Don't look, Wei Ying, it's all a scam. He won't do it.', Wei Ying slowly covered his face, afraid he'd get a nosebleed.
"Wei Ying."
He gasped when Wangji's voice was suddenly so close to his ears. "Wei Ying, look at me.", Wangji kissed his neck. Wei Ying shook his head. "Don't be shy.", Wangji sounded like the devil himself.
'For fuck sake why is he toying with me like this.', Wei Ying clenched his eyes tightly. His mind eased when he felt Wangji's mouth on his. Tongue seeking passage, he opened up for it to roam freely in his mouth. "Mnn Wangji...", Wei Ying's blood flowed hot in his veins as the piece of cloth guarding little Wangji was pulled off...
