Chapter 179: She... agreed.

Seeing that Sang Qian's almond-shaped eyes widened and she was about to refuse, Jin Changyu preemptively said, "Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa and I definitely won't disturb your rest."

Sang Qian, "?"

That was more than three months, not three days. He slept on the sofa the whole time.

Seeing her question, Jin Changyu smiled gently at her, "Even if my second uncle hadn't come, I wouldn't have let you sleep alone in a room during the last few months of my pregnancy."

He's definitely going to sleep on this sofa.

What she didn't know was that for the past month or so, after he put her to sleep every night, although he would go back to the guest room to sleep, most of the time, he would sneak over again in the middle of the night to check on her.

He felt at ease when he saw her sleeping peacefully. Sometimes, when he saw her lift the blanket in her sleep, he would go over and cover her up again before quietly leaving.

This is still possible now.

But when the fetus is over seven months old, he will have to stay by her side all night.

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.

"Don't."

Sang Qian glanced at him and said, "I don't want you to suffer from sleep deprivation, which could affect your health or work. If you end up ruining your health or causing problems at work, my baby and I can't afford the consequences."

Jin Changyu raised an eyebrow. "So you're willing to let me sleep with you?"

"No, I won't let you sleep in my bed."

Jin Changyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her stiffening her neck like a little bird defending its territory.

"Then I'll have to sleep on the sofa."

"I don't……"

"Good girl." Jin Changyu raised his hand and gently rubbed her head. "I'll do whatever you want with everything else, except for this..."

"I need to be with you during your late pregnancy to feel at ease, so please don't refuse, okay?"

The man's gentle gaze held a firm resolve. Sang Qian's lips moved, but before she could speak, she heard him say:

"Also, I have made reasonable plans for the work in the coming year. When you are in your late pregnancy, I will work from home."

Sang Qian looked slightly surprised. "You... you'll be working from home?"

"Yes, my workload will be relatively reduced at that time, and I will have more time to spend with you."

Jin Changyu chuckled and joked, "So, you don't need to worry at all that sleeping on the sofa will affect my work."

Sang Qian hadn't expected that he had planned this all along and had already been arranging work in advance.

"Jin Changyu, you don't need to do this. I can stay at home with Aunt Li looking after me."

Do you expect a workaholic to drop everything and just take care of her when she's about to give birth?

He is the head of the Jin Group, and the entire Jin Group is waiting for him to take the helm. How can she let him put down his work because of her?

"I am the child's father."

He is also your husband.

Jin Changyu gently held her hand, looking at her with eyes full of tenderness. "I can't share the pain of pregnancy with you. The only thing I can do is take good care of you and the baby. If I can't be by your side in the late stages of pregnancy, how can I be worthy of being the father of your child?"

"This is what a father should do. You wouldn't deprive me of my rights, would you?"

What he really wanted to say was: This is what a husband should do.

Looking into the man's calm and powerful eyes, Sang Qian felt an indescribable sense of security.

Although modern medicine is advanced and information is readily available, even without her mother by her side to take care of her and offer guidance, she can still receive professional guidance and psychological comfort from doctors or the therapists that Jin Changyu has hired for her.

But pregnancy and childbirth were, after all, unfamiliar experiences for her, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel confused, hesitant, and uneasy.

She even secretly searched online for videos about childbirth and various possible accidents that women might face during labor; these were all chilling cases.

For a period of time, she was very scared and had nightmares. She was especially terrified of the late months of her pregnancy.

But she didn't tell anyone these things.

During her prenatal checkup, she sent Jin Changyu away and secretly asked the doctor about the situations she had seen online. The doctor reassured her that her fetus was developing healthily and that she didn't need to worry unnecessarily. She also advised her not to read news or reports about pregnant women experiencing complications and to just relax.

After that, she consciously avoided looking at news that would make her feel anxious, and she also followed the doctor's advice to relax and take care of her pregnancy. However, the anxiety and unease in her heart would still occasionally jump out and affect her mood.

Hearing Jin Changyu say that he would stay by her side during her late pregnancy, Sang Qian felt a sense of security.

In her heart, Jin Changyu had always been a very capable person, as if any problem could be properly solved as long as he was around.

"But...won't this really affect your work?"

She still asked, somewhat uneasy.

Jin Changyu said, "No."

Even before he learned of her pregnancy, he had already made readjustments and plans for the group's work over the next few years.

Today, the company has a well-established internal management system, and key positions in senior management and various departments are filled by trusted and capable assistants.

The group's development plans at home and abroad over the past three years have been progressing steadily.

With the company operating stably and developing steadily, he, as the president, can sit back and oversee things from the rear. Except for important decisions or serious emergencies that require his personal involvement, he can completely let his subordinates do their job.

Sang Qian didn't believe her. "Are you sure?"

Jin Changyu smiled and said, "Male employees of our Jin Group are entitled to paternity leave, and as the president, I am naturally entitled to this benefit as well."

Sang Qian, "..."

She had no doubt that the Jin Group offered good benefits, but when had this model-working president ever taken the initiative to enjoy these company perks?

He said that just to make her feel at ease accepting his care.

Seeing that she was hanging her head and not speaking, Jin Changyu gently pinched her fingertips and asked in a low voice, "So, is it okay?"

Sang Qian looked up at him, not understanding for a moment what he was asking.

"What can I do?"

Jin Changyu looked at her intently, "Can I be your caregiver?"

Sang Qian pursed her lips slightly, "Whatever you want."

She... agreed.

After more than half a year, they finally won the opportunity to move back into their marital home. Jin Changyu's heart was surging with uncontrollable excitement, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

Not hearing his voice, Sang Qian looked up in confusion and found that the man's eyes were red. At that moment, for some reason, she also felt a little sore.

She sniffed and forced herself to calm down. "I'm explaining beforehand that I'm asking you to come with me because I'm worried about what might happen to the baby at night during late pregnancy. It'll be safer if someone is looking after the baby. It's for safety reasons, nothing else."

"And you're sleeping on the sofa."

Seeing the look on her face as if she was afraid he would take advantage of her, Jin Changyu smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know."

Being able to move back into the master bedroom was already a significant step forward in their relationship.

He understood the principle of knowing when to advance and when to retreat, but he still couldn't help but offer advice:

"Then I'll find some time in the next few days to bring my second uncle over?"
