In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Chen Jingxi's injuries have healed, her body is getting stronger, and the baby in her belly has already started moving.
When Chen Jingxi felt it for the first time, she almost cried with excitement. It was like a little fish swimming inside. The feeling was truly magical.
Now that the weather is hot, her clothes are thinner, and her belly looks much more obvious.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Chen Jingxi felt a little uncomfortable. Her slim waist was gone and her whole body swelled up like a balloon.
She suddenly felt like crying, it was so ugly.
Chu Jinghuai came back and saw her measuring her waist and abdomen in front of the mirror, and couldn't help but laugh.
He walked over and touched her, "It's a little bigger than the past two days."
Chen Jingxi pushed the hand away, "You still say that I'm so fat, it's all your fault."
Chu Jinghuai smiled and consoled him, "It's okay to be fat. More flesh will feel more comfortable to touch."
Chen Jingxi looked at the grinning man in front of her and hummed softly, "If this flesh wasn't on your body, you would say that."
Chu Jinghuai still smiled, "How about this, I'll gain as much weight as you gain, how about that?"
Chen Jingxi glanced at him. She had gained almost ten pounds, and she might gain another ten pounds. If he also gained ten or twenty pounds, wouldn't he be a greasy man? How could she look at and touch his abs then?
She couldn't accept the pot-bellied Chu Jinghuai. Maybe it wasn't to that extent, but he wasn't good-looking either. She was superficial and only liked to look at faces. She liked handsome guys with good figures.
Chu Jinghuai knew that women all loved beauty, but he just couldn't accept himself becoming like this for a while, so he hugged her in his arms and comforted her:
"You are the most beautiful in my eyes no matter what. You were just too thin before, but now you are a little fatter. I think you are just right. You are a beautiful woman, so rare to behold."
Chen Jingxi glared at him, "You're so smooth-talking."
"I'm not lying. Look at this white and tender flesh growing on my princess. It really grows well. I've never seen flesh that grows well. It feels so good to touch."
Chen Jingxi smiled. The nanny in this mansion ate bird's nest every day, and she also applied lanolin cream and camellia oil, so her skin was as smooth as cream.
Seeing her smile, Chu Jinghuai felt relieved. He picked her up and carried her to the couch, laying her down there. He touched her belly and asked, "Did you move today?"
It's a strange thing to talk about. A few days ago, Chen Jingxi suddenly woke up and said that the baby in her belly moved. He didn't take it seriously at the time.
Later he looked carefully and saw her belly moving a few times, which scared him.
He knew the baby would move as it grew, but seeing it with his own eyes was another matter entirely. Ever since then, he'd become somewhat addicted, checking every day to see if the baby in his belly was moving.
Chen Jingxi touched her belly and smiled, "Not yet, maybe she's sleeping."
Chu Jinghuai was a little disappointed, but he still listened to the stomach for a while. After confirming that there was no movement inside, he sat up straight and touched Chen Jingxi's bulging belly.
He said softly, "I'm your father. Get up and play with him."
After hearing this, Chen Jingxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Is there a father as frivolous as you? He wakes you up from a good sleep to play with you?"
"Isn't that kid born to play? Besides, his father works so hard all day long, but he's so comfortable in your belly."
Chen Jingxi was amused by his words, and the baby in her belly suddenly moved twice in cooperation.
"What a good boy! He knows how to make his father happy."
The couple was joking when they heard the door open. Han Yu walked in and whispered, "Prince, Princess, the people who went to Yanzhou are back."
"Have someone wait in the main hall." Chu Jinghuai finished speaking, and then softly said to Chen Jingxi, "You rest here, I'll be back soon."
"Wait a minute, I'll go too."
Chu Jinghuai stroked her hair and said with a smile, "You are heavy, so you will sweat if you walk back and forth."
But Chen Jingxi didn't like to hear it, "Stop talking nonsense and help me up."
Chu Jinghuai couldn't persuade her, so he had to help her up and put a gauze dress on her.
Chu Jingli's child was waiting in the main hall. Chu Jinghuai ordered someone to go to the place Ye Nandie said to pick up the child.
Looking at the timid, sallow and skinny child in front of him, Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai and thought to himself, this child must be your nephew, but he doesn't look like him.
It's not that she wants to be suspicious, it's just that the child looks too ordinary. She has seen all the princes and princesses with outstanding appearances, and even the emperor is still a handsome uncle at his age.
Although she had never met Chu Jingli, she thought he wouldn't be that bad, right? Besides, Ye Nandie was a great beauty. Could it be that a double digit equals a double digit, so this child combined the shortcomings of both of them?
"Go and call Madam Ouyang over." Chu Jinghuai ordered.
Soon Ye Nandie came over, and when she saw the child, she immediately ran over and hugged the child, "Kang'er."
When the child saw Ye Nandie's face full of fear and shock, he burst into tears and hugged his nanny's legs tightly.
The nanny quickly covered his mouth in panic and looked at Ye Nandie at a loss.
"Don't cry, Kang'er. I'm your mother."
"Wuwu...you don't want your mother, I want a wet nurse..."
Ye Nandie slapped the child and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am your biological mother. How can you deny me?"
Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai and saw that he looked constipated. She didn't know whether he was annoyed by the crying or thought it was too weird.
Chen Jingxi sighed helplessly and said, "Madam Ouyang, the child is still young. Perhaps he's a little shy because he hasn't seen her for so long. Just talk to him slowly. Why hit him?"
