Lingâer lowered her head to look at his handsome face, filled with a serious expression. The corners of her mouth curled up into a beautiful arc as she said: âSometimes he moves around inside. I can even see a small bump on my belly. Itâs very cute.â
Every mother would inadvertently reveal a gentle gaze when they mentioned their child.
Lingâer was no exception.
Feng Jiuxiao raised his head and saw Lingâerâs gentle gaze. He stood up and sat down beside her. He then stretched out his arm to pierce through her back and pulled her into his embrace.
âI didnât even have the chance to see the mischievous little brat do that.â The clear and cold voice revealed a sense of pity.
Lingâer smiled as she stroked her stomach and said: âThe baby is in my stomach. Itâs normal that you canât see it.â
Feng Jiuxiaoâs inaudibly sighed. He wanted to say that if the two of them lived together, he would have the chance to see it.
He then said: âItâs close to your due date. I donât want to leave.â
After saying that, he lowered his head to look at Lingâer, looking forward to her answer.
Lingâer said a little helplessly, âThereâs still one or two months left. Arenât you busy?â
Feng Jiuxiao said, âNo matter how busy I am, itâs not as important as your birth. In the past, I missed the birth of my eldest daughter. I canât miss this now.â
Lingâer thought back to when he was at Qi Mountain. Sometimes, he would not leave even once in half a year.
âAs you wish.â The gentle voice was a little faint.
Feng Jiuxiao said with a little grievance, âYou donât seem to want me to stay.â
Lingâer was speechless.
Fu Tingyu was still trying to be obedient even though he had taken advantage of her.
Would he leave just because she told him to?
She snorted in her heart. If he left, the sun would rise from the west.
âDo you want to stay or not?â
Lingâer didnât want to talk to him. She stood up and planned to take a walk in the courtyard.
Feng Jiuxiao immediately stood up and chased after her. He held her hand and said, âLingâer, this will affect the babyâs growth.â
Lingâer snorted. âStop it. Thereâs nothing wrong with it.â
Feng Jiuxiao had nothing to retort, he could only change the topic: âLingâer, after the child is born, letâs go to Qi Mountain and live there. How about it? The scenery there is beautiful, like a paradise. I have always been looking forward to living alone with you.â
When it came to Qi Mountain, Lingâer still quite liked the life there.
âWeâll talk about it when the time comes.â
When Feng Jiuxiao heard this, he knew that she still liked Qi mountain.
âOkay.â
After Feng Jiuxiao came, he personally prepared nutritious meals for Lingâer and made soup for her.
He had to cook several meals every day and could not eat too much at once. It was a small matter for adults to gain weight. If the baby was too big, it would be difficult to give birth.
Lingâerâs appetite had never been big, and it was the same after she was pregnant.
Anyway, she ate whatever Feng Jiuxiao prepared.
She had always liked his cooking.
At night, when she was sleeping, Lingâer lay in bed and read stories to her son.
Qin Shu asked Gu Yan to check Lingâerâs pulse and knew that the baby in her stomach was a boy.
Feng Jiuxiao lay next to her and kept his eyes on Lingâerâs stomach, wanting to see how his son moved.
After staring for a while, he still did not see his son move. He was a little disappointed.
âOur son is very obedient tonight.â
Lingâer put down the storybook in her hand and looked at her stomach. âBaby is moving.â
âReally?â Feng Jiuxiao came over curiously and his hand followed. Soon, he could feel the movement of the little brat under his palm.
Suddenly, his palm was pressed against. Feng Jiuxiao looked at Lingâer with some curiosity. âLingâer, our son kicked me.â
Lingâer saw his expression and could not help but want to laugh. Her son was clearly kicking her, but he said he was kicking him. She smiled and said, âMaybe heâs a little excited from listening to the story.â
Feng Jiuxiao felt that his son was doing it on purpose. He was even more energetic than before. He asked again, âDoes it hurt?â
Lingâer shook her head: âIt doesnât hurt.â
Feng Jiuxiao nodded: âThatâs good then. If he kicks you until it hurts, I will help you beat him up when he comes out.â
Lingâer was quiet.
After her son stopped moving and fell asleep, Lingâer closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep.
Feng Jiuxiao came over and whispered into her ear.
âLingâer, during this period of time apart, did you miss me?â
Lingâer said lazily, âWhy would I miss you?â
Feng Jiuxiao whispered into her ear: âBut I missed you very much. I missed you every day and I missed you even more at night.â
The hot air that was gushing out was right beside her ear and Lingâer only felt a little itchy. Her face was slightly red as she said, âIâm going to sleep.â
âLingâer.â Feng Jiuxiaoâs voice was low and when she heard it, it sounded like a seductive little hook that tickled her heart.
Lingâer felt a little hot and she turned around to glare at him. âAre you going to sleep or notâ¦â
Just as she turned around, the warm touch choked her.
â¦
â¦
On the day of the birth.
They first saw red, and then her stomach began to hurt.
Because Lingâer had given birth once, she was a little calmer. She washed her hair first and then took a bath.
Feng Jiuxiao was very anxious and he even helped her wash her hair.
He had seen a piece of news that a pregnant woman was walking when her child came out.
âLingâer, letâs go to the hospital to take a bath. What if our son comes out early?â
Lingâer replied calmly, âThe probability of a child coming out suddenly without any warning is very, very low. Iâm quite relaxed and donât feel any pain yet.â
Feng Jiuxiaoâs hand movements paused as he looked at Lingâer with her eyes closed. He asked, âWhen you gave birth to Xiao Bao, was it very painful?â
âWhat do you think? It hurt for several hours, but it was worth it.â
Lingâer recalled the scene at that time. Giving birth was like taking a trip to the gates of Hell. Only women knew the feeling of it.
Feng Jiuxiao only listened to her and his heart ached terribly. If he saw it with his own eyes, his heart would only ache even more.
After washing her hair, she took a shower.
Feng Jiuxiao nimbly helped her take a shower and put on her clothes.
Everything was ready. Feng Jiuxiao brought her to the hospital.
The hospital beds and attending physicians had all been booked in advance.
After they reached the hospital, Lingâer asked the man to call Qin Shu.
When Qin Shu heard that her mommy was about to give birth, she first brought Xiao Jiu and Nan Nan to the hospital.
They happened to meet Fu Beichen and Mu Shengwan who had just returned from a trip.
This was the first time the couple had heard of Qin Shuâs parents.
Qin Shu had been married into the Fu family for so many years, but she had yet to meet her in-laws. When she heard that her in-laws were going to give birth, Mu Shengwan felt that it was really fate.
What good timing that they bumped into Qin Shu now.
Wasnât it a coincidence?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They had to go and take a look.
So, the whole family rushed to the hospital.
Fu Tingyu also put down the work in his hands and rushed to the hospital.
Lingâer had not entered the delivery room because it was not time yet.
Feng Jiuxiao had been watching from the side.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. They guessed that it was their daughter.
Feng Jiuxiao stood up to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw his daughter holding Xiao Jiuâs hand. A few people followed behind her, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
There was a man and a woman behind Qin Shu. Although they didnât look that old, he could tell that they were not young anymore.
Mu Shengwan didnât expect that the person who opened the door was a handsome and otherworldly man. It was a handsome and young man, but he was very unfamiliar with Fu Tingyu.
Qin Shu turned around and looked at Fu Beichen and Mu Shengwan. She introduced, âDad, they are Xiao Jiuâs grandpa and grandmother. They are here to see Mommy.â
Mu Shengwan greeted with a smile, in-law, I wouldnât have guessed that you are Qin Shuâs daddy. You are so young.â
Fu Beichen held his wifeâs hand tightly and his dark eyes looked at Feng Jiuxiao. His handsome face was expressionless and he just shook hands to greet them. âin-law, hello.â
âHello.â Feng Jiuxiao was also expressionless. He said the word indifferently and then let them in.
In the ward.
Lingâer was lying on the bed. When she saw so many people suddenly come in, she was stunned for a moment. She first looked at her daughter and Xiao Jiu, then looked at the handsome man and beauty behind her. Although they were old, their charm did not change.
Her gaze fell on the dignified beauty and found her familiar.
It was the first time Mu Shengwan met Qin Shuâs parents. She looked curiously at the beauty on the bed and also found her familiar.
âHave we met before?â
Lingâer thought for a long time, but she couldnât remember. âI think weâve met before, but I canât remember where exactly.â
Mu Shengwan walked over and sat down in front of the bed. She thought for a while and asked, âI think we had tea together because of the child, right?â
Mu Shengwan remembered as she spoke. âI remember now. I treated you to a drink because my son kidnapped your daughter for a few days.â
âI remember now too. When I lost my daughter, I was scared to death. Fortunately, you sent her back. You said that your son wanted to keep her by himself. The milk powder and clothes at home were all ready-made, so he kept her for a few days.â
Lingâer found it funny when she thought of that scene. An eight-year-old child wanted to keep her three-year-old daughter.
Qin Shu understood. Fu Tingyu kidnapped her when she was young? Why didnât she have any impression of him?
âMom, what are you guys talking about? Why donât I remember?â
Lingâer smiled and said, âHow old were you at that time? You were only three years old, and you were still drinking milk powder.â
âWhen you were three years old, you were like a little cutie pie. You were very likable. When I went to my sonâs room, he was holding a bucket of milk powder and a milk bottle to brew milk for you. You were standing beside Xiao Yu, your little hands were holding onto his clothes. You were obedient and cute. He even said that he picked you up on the road and wanted to raise you by himself. When you grew up, you would be his.â
Mu Shengwan couldnât help but laugh out loud. That scene was really too funny.
She added with a smile, âIf I had known earlier, I would have arranged a baby marriage. I saw that my son liked you so much, so I had this idea. I was afraid it would be too sudden.â
Lingâer smiled and said, âThey are destined to be together. They can still be together without a baby marriage.â
Mu Shengwan smiled and echoed, âThatâs right. They are fated.â
Qin Shu didnât remember what happened when she was young, but she still had some memories of being kidnapped. It was the first time her mommy scolded her, but she didnât remember what the boy who brought her home looked like.
Now she knew that it was Fu Tingyu who kidnapped her when she was young. It turned out that he had always been like this since she was young. If he liked her, he would bring him home.
Fu Beichen wasnât there at the time. He only knew that his son had kidnapped her daughter and kept her in secret, so he punished him severely.
Now, it seemed that his son had fallen in love with her when they were young. When they met again, he would definitely like her.
This was probably fate.
Feng Jiuxiaoâs thoughts were the opposite of theirs. He knew how to kidnap his daughter when he was only eight years old?
Wasnât he the big bad wolf?
If he met her again, he would be even more reluctant to let her go.
Her daughter had been loved by others since she was young.
Fu Tingyu heard the conversation between the two moms as soon as he walked in, so he didnât react immediately.
His mom used to talk about him abducting a little girl when he was eight years old. She even laughed at him for wanting to raise the little girl by his side since he was so young.
His dad warned him sternly that if he did it again, the punishment would be even heavier.
Therefore, he had a deep impression of him abducting a little girl when he was eight years old.
Even now, he still remembered the way that little cutie pie ate, slept on top of him, and drank milk powder.
Especially when he was preparing milk powder for her, she stood by his side, her chubby little hands grabbing the hem of his clothes, making her look adorable.
When his mom sent the cutie pie away, he was depressed for a long time.
When his younger brother was born, his depressed mood improved a lot.
In the future, whenever he met a little girl, he always felt that she was not as cute and soft as the one he kidnapped.
So, every time a little girl came close to him, he always despised her. In the end, he formed a habit of not liking girls getting too close to him.
Fu Tingyu looked at her in disbelief. He didnât expect that the little cutie pie that he raised for a few days when she was young would still be his when she grew up. That feeling was indescribable in words.
He just felt that the little cutie pie that he liked had grown up and become a little girl. He still liked her.
He was very glad that he could meet her again.
When Mu Shengwan turned around, she happened to see Fu Tingyu standing at the door. She smiled and called out, âSon, youâre here.â
Fu Tingyu walked in and looked at the four elders. He called out, âDad, Mom.â
Mu Shengwan smiled and said, âLook, the little cutie pie that you raised when you were young has now become your wife as you wished. Arenât you very happy?â
Fu Tingyu nodded heavily. âMm.â
He was more than happy.
He was ecstatic.
At this time, Lingâerâs stomach was hurting badly, which meant that she was about to give birth.
Feng Jiuxiao immediately found a doctor and pushed his wife to the delivery room.
Fu Tingyu held his wifeâs hand and went to a place where there was no one. He held her in his arms and was still very excited.
Qin Shu let him hold her and said faintly, âYou must be very happy now, right?â
Fu Tingyu laughed happily. âMy wife knows me well. Iâm really happy. No wonder when I saw you at Qi Mountain, I felt that your eyes were very familiar.â
Qin Shu didnât feel anything. She only thought that Fu Tingyu was really good-looking. As for the rest, she had no impression at all.
âHow did you trick me into going home with you?â
Fu Tingyu said proudly, âWhy would I need to trick you? I held your hand, and you followed me.â
Qin Shu stared at him with some dissatisfaction, âWhat do you mean by that?â
Fu Tingyu immediately explained, âI mean, you have good taste. You knew that I was not a bad person and would treat you well, so you followed me. Thank God I wasnât a human trafficker.â
Qin Shu couldnât help but roll her eyes. Was this a compliment to her or to him?
