Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife

Bai Yuejie didn’t expect anyone would bring up this topic, and her joy immediately surged, but just as she was about to speak, Grandma Shi interrupted.

Grandma Shi put down a tile, "Two dots! How could that be, our Ling Yan has always treated Yuejie as a sister. They grew up together since childhood. If there were to be anything, it would have happened a long time ago. Besides, Ling Yan is very clear-headed. Yuejie’s body is not well, if she takes good care of herself, her heart condition might even heal, but if she were to marry, she’d have to worry about her husband, the family, the elders. Being a good daughter-in-law is not easy, eh, pung!"

Upon hearing these words, the ladies glanced at each other.

Every one of them was seasoned in life and knew exactly what Grandma Shi meant.

Plainly put, she wanted to warn Bai Yuejie not to harbor any improper thoughts towards Shi Lingyan, indicating that Shi Lingyan had no such feelings for her.

Moreover, because she had a heart condition, she should take good care of herself. She couldn’t be expected to manage household and husband duties as a wife.

Bai Yuejie’s initial exhilaration also faded, and her smile disappeared once again.

Granny Li threw down a tile and continued, "Ah, it’s also because her mother didn’t take care during her pregnancy. She was told not to go play in the snow, but she insisted. In the end, the child was saved, but at the cost of such a sequelae. Hasn’t that ruined the child’s life?"

Bai Yuejie couldn’t help but look up at her.

This was her first time hearing such words.

Grandma Chen chimed in, "Who could have known that she was pregnant at that time? Over three months in and she didn’t have a clue. If it weren’t for that huge fuss, she might not have known she was pregnant at all."

Grandma Shi shook her head, "It’s also the will of heaven playing tricks. But Yuejie was born under a good omen. It had been raining for over a month, and just on the day she was born, the sun came out. After that, until her mother’s postpartum month was over, it was all sunny days. So she was raised particularly well. Look at this little face, it’s so fair and pretty. She looks just like her father, as if cast from the same mold."

"Yes, when she was born, everyone said she was handsome. A girl who takes after her father is indeed not wrong. Look at those eyes, that nose..."

Bai Yuejie just listened as a group of old ladies discussed her, and couldn’t help but pick up her phone to look in the mirror.

Indeed, she did resemble Father Bai quite a bit.

Especially those eyes, big and round, though unlike her father’s eyes, which were full of spirit, hers were always as mild as warm water.

Yes, she really did look like him.

Bai Yuejie looked at the reflection in her phone, and the more she looked, the more she felt the resemblance.

The old ladies moved on from the topic, playfully talking about how Shi Lingyan used to dislike Bai Yuejie as a child.

"Back then, Ling Yan would turn up his nose and walk away at the sight of Yuejie. Ah, that boy was handsome even as a child, and with such a temper, still no girl would fault him," Granny Li said with a laugh, her eyebrows dancing but her eyes unseen, "Looking at Ling Yan now, you can tell that a child with his own ideas grows up to be successful."

Grandma Shi was pleased, "Back then, the boy was mischievous and immature. He was trained by his father, and we hardly had to teach him. He knew how to dress himself, eat and go to the bathroom. He was only five or six, very sharp-witted. Come to think of it, wasn’t that around the time Yuejie and Ling Yan first met?"

"Exactly," Grandma Chen said teasingly, "Yuejie and our Wanwan both liked to follow Ling Yan around, chiming ’Brother Ling Yan’ as they ran after him. The two little girls even planned to grow up and marry him together."
