Winter has passed and spring has arrived. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Can's belly has grown, and she is almost five months pregnant.
After her morning sickness subsided, she began to have a great appetite, which resulted in her baby growing very strong, and her belly becoming larger than that of an average pregnant woman.
Aside from her large belly, her limbs remained slender, and her complexion grew rosier day by day.
She could often feel the baby's movements and imagine the baby turning over or stretching inside, and she couldn't help but smile. The happiness of becoming a mother was evident in her eyes and brows, and others who saw it also sincerely wished her well.
Yin Ruohong was the first to lose his composure. Under the pretext of observing the medical quality of the United Hospital, he made another trip to the central city. This time, he personally took the pulse, using both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and finally arrived at a definitive conclusion:
Jiang Can is carrying a baby boy!
The news caused an uproar throughout the Huo family.
Huo Wenyuan was so happy that he couldn't sleep well for several days. Even when he tried to take a nap on the sofa, he was woken up by his joy. He then quickly sent people to the Swiss bank to retrieve five large boxes that had been stored there for many years.
Huo Zhixing had never seen these boxes before, and he was stunned when he brought them back—
Inside each one was a glittering pile of gold: gold locks, gold chains, gold bracelets, gold-inlaid jade necklaces, and most extravagantly, rows upon rows of gold bricks and gold bars.
One large box alone is worth an immeasurable amount, let alone five.
"Grandpa, what is this...?"
"What are you looking at?" Huo Wenyuan protected the box like a spoiled child, covering it with his hand and giving him a disgusted look. "These are for my great-grandson, don't even think about them!"
Huo Zhixing was stunned; this scene seemed all too familiar.
I remember when he was nine years old, mercury was found in his birthday cake. He was quite frightened and couldn't recover for several days. His grandfather then took out that sandalwood treasure box, which contained the Golden Wind and Jade Dew and the Golden Jade Marriage, as well as a pile of ancestral jewels.
At that time, Huo Zhanpeng advised the old man not to let the children play with these valuable things.
The old man glared at him and said, "What do you mean 'let him play with these'? These are for my precious grandson to calm his nerves!"
Huo Zhanpeng was speechless. Before he could say anything, Huo Wenyuan gave him a disdainful look.
"What are you looking at? These are all for my precious grandson, don't even think about getting them!"
Times have changed, and he is no longer the old man's darling.
Sigh, it turns out that Grandpa's true nature is to be fickle and easily bored!
Huo Zhixing glanced at him sullenly, then decided to let it go and not bother arguing with an old man.
Back at Xi Garden, I saw Jiang Can lounging on the sofa, idly fiddling with the TV remote.
She had already eaten most of the bag of potato chips in front of her, and the remaining chip crumbs were hard to grab, so she simply lifted the bag up, tilted her head back, and poured them directly into her mouth, the movement smooth and effortless.
Huo Zhixing burst out laughing.
Jiang Can only then noticed that he had returned, and almost choked on her mouthful of potato chip crumbs. Then, thinking that he had seen her eating so heartily, she couldn't help but blush.
"You...you came back without making a sound? Are you a cat?!"
Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while. Her face was flushed, her belly was protruding, and she exuded a different kind of mature charm, yet still retained a touch of girlish coquettishness...
He suddenly felt a strong urge to do something.
He smiled slightly, walked over and sat down next to her, gently wiping away the potato chip crumbs from the corner of her lips with his thumb.
"Why are you looking at me so strangely?" Jiang Can muttered.
“It’s nothing, it’s just…” He touched her belly, “I just really want to know what he looks like.”
"Really?" Jiang Can was a little surprised.
Ever since finding out she was pregnant with a chubby boy, Huo Zhixing hadn't seemed very happy. Jiang Can even found a book he had written called "Ten Methods for Educating Boys" in his study drawer once.
The first rule is: if they don't obey, beat them.
Jiang Can was so angry at this that she laughed, and stuffed it back into the drawer untouched.
But what's wrong with this man today? Why is he suddenly showing such fatherly love?
“Honey,” Jiang Can smiled sweetly, “you really want to know what the baby looks like?”
"certainly!"
"But you always come with me to every prenatal checkup! Didn't you see his little face on the ultrasound machine when the doctor was doing the scan?"
“How can that be considered!” Huo Zhixing laughed. “You can only see a rough outline on that screen, you can’t see anything clearly. Besides, the baby is only five months old now, he hasn’t grown up yet… Well, what I mean is, I really want to know what he will look like when he is born.”
"Let me tell you!" Jiang Can exclaimed excitedly, "I dreamed about it!"
Huo Zhixing's heart skipped a beat.
"Honey, I dreamt that he was a very handsome boy." Jiang Can leaned against his shoulder like a little bird. "In my dream, he was about three or four years old, chubby and fair-skinned like a little rice ball, waving his chubby little hands and asking me to hold him!"
“He looks like you.” Jiang Can looked into his eyes. “He’s a miniature version of you!”
Huo Zhixing's heart skipped a beat.
"Is he... also very fierce?"
"How did you know?" Jiang Can laughed even harder. "I even dreamt that he yelled at you, but his voice was so sweet and innocent, even when he yelled at you, he was still incredibly cute!"
Huo Zhixing: "..."
How did he know? He dreamed about it too!
That cute but fierce little dumpling was still hugging his woman in front of him, taunting him!
Huo Zhixing suddenly grabbed Jiang Can's hand, his grip tightening. Jiang Can cried out in pain, and only then did he come to his senses.
"I'm so sorry, I hurt you..."
"Don't come any closer!"
"Um?"
