"Xiaoning… it doesn't hurt anymore," said Mrs. Gu, who strode towards her quickly.
An Xiaoning nodded and held onto Mrs. Gu's arm before turning around to tell Mr. Gu and Gu Beicheng, "I have something to tell you guys later when we return inside the house."
"Alright."
An Xiaoning and Mrs. Gu first went back to the bedroom. An Xiaoning sat down by the side of the bed and asked Mrs. Gu if she was feeling any discomfort in other parts of her body, to which Mrs. Gu answered with a no.
"Mother, does Elder Brother know when your birthday is?"
Mrs. Gu nodded and answered, "Yes, he even asked specifically for the exact timing of my birth. But, I didn't tell him since I thought I shouldn't give away these details so casually."
