Fu Hanzheng sighed and emphasized his key point.

"Does it feel good?"

"No, I'm just a little hungry," Gu Weiwei said with a smile.

Fu Hanzheng urged the maid to cut some fruit for her and helped her to sit down on the sofa.

“I’ll have someone prepare the things, there’s no need for you to make this trip.”

“I’ve been idle at home for many days, and I wanted to go out for a stroll,” Gu Weiwei said, pointing to the other bags. “I also bought some baby supplies.”

Fu Shiyi excitedly took out the baby clothes and hats he had bought and showed them to his older brother.

"Look, the hat even has little ears, it's so cute!"

"And this set, the little clothes are so cute."

...

Fu Hanzheng watched as he displayed each item, glancing sideways at his wife who was admiring him.

Suddenly, I realized that by preparing everything, I might have deprived her of the joy of welcoming the birth of her child.

The three of them had dinner together, and Fu Hanzheng handed Fu Shiyi a greeting card with a message he had written by hand.

"I'm going back tomorrow."

“I can go back the day after tomorrow,” Fu Shiyi said.

Going back a day early would make it seem like he wasn't being sincere in inviting him back, and his father would blame him.

“I’m not discussing this with you,” Fu Hanzheng said coldly.

“Then… call Grandma yourself on her birthday and explain,” Fu Shiyi reminded her.

He's the one who's not going back, so he'll have to explain to his family himself.

"I know." Fu Hanzheng said, then turned and left.

Fu Shiyi sullenly pursed his lips, put away the greeting card, went back to his room, and resignedly packed his luggage to return to China.

The next day when he left, his own brother was busy with work at the company, and his sister-in-law, Gu Weiwei, was pregnant and unable to move around easily, so no one could see him off. He could only leave alone, feeling desolate.

He had barely returned to Beijing a few hours before Fu Shiqin also returned to China from Belgium.

"How are my brother and sister-in-law doing over there?"

"Anyway, they're doing better than us," Fu Shiyi scoffed.

Fu Shiqin wholeheartedly agreed. Back home, they were being scolded by their father and working themselves to the bone, while his brother and sister-in-law were happily waiting for their baby to be born.

"Do you know what your sister-in-law is pregnant with?"

Fu Shiyi sighed regretfully, "I don't know, no one says anything. But my sister-in-law said the baby is moving now, but my brother won't let me touch it."

"You want to die if I let you touch me?" Fu Shiqin sneered.

Fu Shiyi glanced at Fu Shiqin, "However, I think we should still go there when he is born."

“I’m not that free,” Fu Shiqin said.

Now that his brother is gone, many things have fallen on his shoulders, so he doesn't have time to go and watch his sister-in-law give birth.

“We’re not going. I’m afraid our brother will be scared by himself,” Fu Shiyi said.

"Huh? Scared?"

Fu Shiqin raised an eyebrow in surprise. Did the word "fear" have anything to do with his brother?

“Now, if my sister-in-law sneezes, my brother gets so nervous. If he’s like this, he’ll be scared to death when she gives birth,” Fu Shiyi said.

Fu Shiqin choked on his water. "This... we really have to go."

He had forgotten that while his brother was fearless in other matters, he was terrified of anything related to his sister-in-law.

His brother must be incredibly anxious about his sister-in-law giving birth; he probably wishes he were the one having the baby.

"Then let's go during the days around the due date?" Fu Shiyi said.

On the day they were officially promoted to second or third uncle, they naturally had to attend in person.
