Chapter 242 Nian Nian is carrying his child.

The next day, when Gu Xingnian woke up, it was already past 9 o'clock.

The pillow was empty and slightly chilly.

She remembered last night, when Fu Beichen held her and read her a fairy tale book he had found somewhere in his deep, magnetic voice.

Later, he held her and kissed her for a long time, their warm lips lingering and almost escalating into passionate lovemaking.

In the end, she accidentally pulled at his wound, and he winced in pain. The two of them then obediently stopped fighting and went to sleep.

Gu Xingnian couldn't help but smile, a sweet feeling welling up in her heart.

After washing up, she came out wearing loose-fitting loungewear, and a rich aroma of food filled the air.

Fu Beichen was wearing an apron and busy in the open kitchen.

He cooked meat porridge, fried beautifully runny poached eggs, steamed two delicate pastries and a few pieces of sweet corn, and the juicer was gurgling away, producing orange-yellow freshly squeezed juice.

Seeing her come out, he steadily put down the plate in his hand, untied his apron, and casually hung it up.

He strode over and led her to the dining table to sit down.

Gu Xingnian looked at the excessively lavish breakfast on the table and asked in surprise.

"You...did all of this?"

Fu Beichen revealed a somewhat proud smile, his eyebrows raised.

"Do you think you can find a second person in this house?"

Gu Xingnian smiled, reached out and pinched his chin, praising him generously:

"President Fu, you are becoming more and more perfect. You are elegant in public and capable in the kitchen."

Fu Beichen pulled down her small hand, kissed it on the lips, and smiled even more heartily.

"In the future, you will discover more and more of my good qualities, and you will love me so much that you can't stop loving me."

Gu Xingnian was amused by his unashamed self-praise.

She had just picked up the spoon to drink the porridge when Fu Beichen suddenly reached out and snatched the spoon away.

He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it carefully before bringing it to her lips.

Gu Xingnian was stunned. Looking at his serious expression, she deliberately put on a stern face and asked.

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; what are you up to?"

Fu Beichen answered very seriously.

"I want to do better so I can ask my wife for some pocket money."

He sighed softly, putting on a pitiful expression.

"I've heard that once a man hands over the financial power to his wife, he'll smoke cigarettes in half-smoked portions and only change his underwear every three years."

Gu Xingnian couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, covering her mouth.

This man also has a hidden sense of humor.

"Then if you behave well, I'll give you... 100 yuan every day."

Fu Beichen's handsome face showed a look of surprise and delight, as if he had won the lottery.

"Thank you, my wife! Here, let me serve you some porridge."

He fed her earnestly, and she opened her mouth to eat without any embarrassment.

The atmosphere between the two was warm and sweet.

Suddenly, Fu Beichen said something.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the capital."

Gu Xingnian looked up at him.

Is something the matter?

He said, "I want to go and support Mu's press conference."

Gu Xingnian was silent for a few seconds, then instantly understood what he meant.

"You want to take back the equation for cardiovascular health?"

“Not only that.” Fu Beichen’s eyes turned cold. “If my elder brother hadn’t arrived in time that day, you would have been taken away, and I would have perished at sea.”

He paused, then took her hand, his eyes filled with an intensely serious look.

"I hope you won't stop me. A man's grudges should be settled by the man himself."

He's been setting up this scheme for a long time; it's time to close the net.

She nodded seriously. "You can handle it."

She really didn't want to say anything good about Mu Yanchen anymore.

One thought can lead to heaven, another to hell. He chose this path himself, so he can't blame anyone else.

His intention to kill Fu Beichen is something that should never be forgiven.

......

Fu Beichen returned to the company in the afternoon.

Looking at his radiant face, it's as if the word "happiness" is etched all over his forehead.

At this point, he leaned back in his executive chair and began to discuss and reward those who had contributed.

He said something to Lynch.

“From today onwards, Chen Sen will be my second assistant. You will provide him with a car and a house, and raise his monthly salary to 300,000.”

Lin Qi nodded. "Okay."

Goodness, Chen Sen has only been with the company for less than a month, and his salary is almost equal to what I've earned in four years.

I've worked my way up for four years to get to where I am today, and my monthly salary is only 400,000.

Lin Qi felt a pang of jealousy.

Chen Sen quickly spoke up, adopting a very humble attitude.

"Thank you for the promotion, Mr. Fu. However, Assistant Lin deserves much credit for last night's design. It was thanks to the three videos he filmed that my wife was able to achieve the best effect and change her mind."

Chen Sen didn't forget to recommend Lin Qi for credit; his emotional intelligence is indeed high.

He did indeed devise the plan to win back his wife last night, and Assistant Lin certainly put in a lot of effort.

It was because he accidentally saw the video on Lynch's phone that he suddenly had an inspiration.

Fu Beichen looked at Lin Qi and smiled.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

"I plan to give you 10% of the shares in the health product factory that General Manager Ning is in charge of. You can go to the factory more often to exchange ideas, which will benefit you."

Lin Qi was stunned on the spot.

He knew that factory; the profits were quite substantial. With a 10% dividend, it would amount to at least seven or eight million a year.

But without even thinking about it, he immediately refused.

He was so anxious his face turned pale, and he quickly said...

"President Fu, I don't want to! I'm fine! The rumors circulating in the company were just that—rumors. I'm really fine in that area!"

This concerns a man's dignity, which money cannot replace!

Fu Beichen smiled.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. If there's a problem, we'll fix it. Go visit the factory more often; Old Ning probably still has quite a few private collections."

Lin Qi was about to lose his mind; he was practically on the verge of tears.

He was determined to go all out and said it anyway, even if it meant gritting his teeth.

"They sent some over before... Why don't you give it a try, Mr. Fu?"

"What am I supposed to try?" Fu Beichen's face darkened instantly. "I'm perfectly fine!"

Niannian is pregnant now, so he didn't dare to touch her at all. He took two cold showers last night. If she ate this stuff, what would happen?

Lin Qi's mind was racing with one thought: Three minutes isn't a problem?!

So open and honest, why don't you get it treated?

"It's settled then." Fu Beichen waved his hand impatiently, shooing the two of them out.

As they left the president's office, Chen Sen patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Assistant Lin, I believe in you. However, the only criterion for testing truth is practice. Why don't you try getting a girlfriend?"

Lin Qi rolled his eyes at him, annoyed.

"Assistant Chen, why don't you find a girlfriend?"

Chen Sen smiled, a gentle and refined smile.

"I got married when I was 20. My wife gave birth to six children for me, four boys and two girls. The eldest is already preparing for the college entrance examination."

Holy crap!

Lin Qi stared at Chen Sen's handsome, gentlemanly face, speechless for a long time.

This guy seems like a gentleman, but he's not even human!

Fu Beichen walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and the white smoke blurred his cold face.

He dialed Bai Yu's number.

"Big brother, it's me."

His voice was deep.

"Can you come back to the capital with me tomorrow? The Mu family needs to be dealt with; this time, they must be uprooted completely."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Bai Yu's voice came through clearly.

"As long as you treat Xixi well from now on, everything is negotiable. Tomorrow, I'll go back with you."

After a pause, Bai Yu added, "I also found out something important."

"Okay." Fu Beichen hung up the phone happily, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

With his brother-in-law's divine assistance, even if Mu Yanchen had three heads and six arms, he still couldn't protect the Mu family.

He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, sat back in the large leather chair, and his gaze fell once again on the report about Gu Xingnian on the outermost shelf of the file rack.

He pulled it out again, his fingertips feeling a little cold.

He casually flipped to the second page, glanced at it, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning, leaping up from his chair.

The paper was almost crushed in his trembling hands.

[Item 10: According to gene database comparison, the biological father of the fetus is: Fu Beichen.]

Fu Beichen.

Fu Beichen!

It turns out that Niannian was indeed carrying his child.

It really is!

A surge of overwhelming joy and lingering fear rushed to his head, and he trembled with excitement.

That was his child.

his.

He almost aborted the child himself.

Thinking about this, he really wanted to slap himself twice.

At that moment, his mind went blank, with only one thought remaining.

See her, immediately, right away.

He grabbed his coat and rushed out.

When Gu Xingnian got home, she was taking a nap.

The room was quiet; only her steady breathing could be heard.

She lay on her side, the soft blanket outlining the curves of her body, the raised area more pronounced than before.

He walked quietly to the bedside and slowly knelt down.

His gaze was fixed on that small, ball-like abdomen, and a wave of guilt washed over him.

He gently lifted the blanket, and a large hand, moving as lightly as if touching a priceless treasure, gently covered her belly.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

This is his child.

It was his child, Fu Beichen's child.

This is the fruit of their love, their flesh and blood, no wonder she protected it so desperately.

He lowered his head and placed a burning kiss on her belly.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, in a voice only he could hear.

"Baby, Daddy's here."

"I'm sorry, baby, Daddy is late."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his stomach under his palm suddenly twitched.

Then, there was another movement, quite violent.

Gu Xingnian was awakened by the movements of the little one in her belly. She opened her eyes groggily and was startled to see a figure squatting by the bed.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Fu Beichen, her voice still languid from just waking up.

Why did you suddenly come back?

"I came back because I wanted to see you and the baby." His voice was a little hoarse, and he hadn't completely calmed down yet.

Gu Xingnian couldn't help but laugh when she heard his sticky tone.

"How come I never realized you were so clingy before?"

Fu Beichen reached out and grasped her hand, their fingers intertwined, his palm burning hot.

He looked into her eyes and spoke each word with utmost solemnity.

"Niannian, I'm sorry."

"My prejudice almost ruined our child."

"Thank you for always protecting our child."

Gu Xingnian's heart trembled, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She gripped his hand tightly in return, "Fu Beichen, from now on, love him well, as compensation."

Fu Beichen lowered his head and kissed her stomach several more times, like a devout believer.

"Baby, Daddy was wrong. Please forgive Daddy, okay?"

"If you forgive your father, then move your foot again."

The little one inside her belly gave her plenty of attention and immediately started kicking happily again.

Gu Xingnian was amused, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

Fu Beichen took off his coat, lifted a corner of the blanket, and lay down next to her.

He pulled her tightly into his arms, his familiar scent enveloping her completely.

He kissed her forehead, her nose, her lips gently... each kiss carrying the precious feeling of something lost and then regained.

Soon, the body in his arms began to warm up, and his breathing became erratic.

He couldn't control himself; his body screamed more honestly than his reason.

His voice was terribly hoarse as he spoke close to her ear.

"Niannian, I want you."

Gu Xingnian froze, her mind instantly clearing. "No, I'm still pregnant."

"I asked the experts, and they said that it's okay to have sex during the second trimester."

His voice had a seductive quality.

"It can make children smarter. Don't worry, I will be very gentle, just like before."

"The baby is already perceptive, he will be very happy."

Gu Xingnian's face flushed red instantly. How could this person say such things?

She protested softly, "It's not dark yet...."

Fu Beichen chuckled and got out of bed.

He walked to the window and pulled the heavy blackout curtains shut.

The room went dark instantly.

"Now, it's dark."

Only a small bedside lamp was lit in the room, its warm yellow glow casting an ambiguous glow over everything.

He leaned down again, supporting himself on either side of her body, his tall frame completely enveloping her.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips, lingering and caressing them with endless tenderness and longing.

After a long while, he stepped back slightly, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.

"Niannian, is that okay?"
