Chapter 245 Daughter
"You mean those troublesome little things that can make as much noise as a rock band by themselves?" He Tingzhou expressed his attitude with this series of adjectives. "Why do I like them?"
That's a bit tricky.
Shuang Xu argued: "There are people who don't make noises. I didn't make noises when I was a kid."
It was snowing, and snow was piling up more and more on her head and shoulders. She wore thin clothes at home, and when she went out, the tip of her nose was frozen and slowly turned red.
He Tingzhou opened the car door, let her sit in, and gently brushed the snow off her body: "You are not within the scope of discussion."
"Why?" Shuang Xu said, "Some children are naughty and some are nice. I am a living example."
He Tingzhou was very ambiguous: "If you say so, it's okay if I'm not obedient."
Shuang Xu stopped talking.
She thought He Tingzhou didn't like noisy children, but in fact, they were not on the same wavelength at all.
He Tingzhou doesn't like all children, but she can.
His standard is a thoroughgoing "frost-orderism".
Shuang Xu sat sideways on the seat, with the toes of his shoes covered in snow curled up and kicked his calves.
The snow rubbed against his black trousers, but He Tingzhou didn't care and didn't even look at it: "Why are you kicking me?"
Shuang Xu said nothing, lowered her head, took out a piece of paper from her bag and stuffed it into his hand.
The bright orange light in the courtyard gave the white snow a gilded texture. He Tingzhou could clearly see the inspection report in his hand in the dim light.
Human chorionic gonadotropin...progesterone...all things he had never touched before.
"I went to the hospital this morning for a checkup."
My period didn't come this month, and Shuang Xu originally planned to go to the drugstore to buy a pregnancy test. When I went out in the morning, I saw it suddenly snowing. I don't know why, but I had a premonition at that time.
So she went straight to the hospital to have her blood drawn for a test, and it turned out that her hunch was true.
Whether in terms of time or possibility, it all points to that ridiculous night on Anniversary Day.
"We didn't take proper precautions that day and got infected."
He Tingzhou looked at the report and remained silent for a long time, so long that Shuang Xu began to suspect that he might not really want a child.
"It's a bit sudden indeed. We haven't discussed this before. If you don't like it, we can just not..."
He Tingzhou raised his eyelids: "You want to murder my daughter?"
"...I'm discussing this with you." Shuang Xu said, "Besides, how do you know it's a daughter?"
He folded the medical examination form and put it back into her bag, saying in a serious tone, "This is a spiritual connection between us, father and daughter. Don't worry about it."
"The doctor said it's only the size of a grape now, and you're in touch with it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Tingzhou held her cheek in his hands and kissed her from head to toe. Her lips were warm. He kissed her gently and cherishingly, as if she was some fragile treasure that needed careful care.
He Tingzhou's fingertips gently stroked her ears, and his voice softened: "You went through so much trouble just to tell me this?"
"I wanted to tell you when I got home tonight, but who knew that your aunt would ask about it, and you confronted everyone by yourself. I thought you didn't want to."
"I'm protecting you, idiot." He Tingzhou said, "It's only the size of a grape, and it's taking up your IQ?"
Frost Preface: “…”
He Tingzhou was indeed not interested in children, but in his eyes, even a single hair that fell from Shuang Xu was special, cute, and especially cute.
Not to mention their children.
A life form that inherited half of his genes and half of Shuangxu's genes, who would call him dad and her mom, and was born out of their love for each other.
It would be best if it was a girl. God knows how long he had been jealous of Shen Yu because he failed to pick up an eight-year-old Shuangxu on the street.
On this snowy night in the dead of winter, a fire was burning in He Tingzhou's heart.
It was a magical feeling, strange, as if he really had some kind of wonderful connection with that tiny grape.
He Tingzhou put his palm on Shuangxu's belly, and Shuangxu said jokingly: "It hasn't taken shape yet, what can you touch?"
He Tingzhou said in his usual lazy tone: "We said we have telepathy."
On the way back to Taiheyuan, He Tingzhou held Shuangxu on his lap the whole time, keen to feel the little life in her belly that was only the size of a grape and had not yet taken shape.
When they got home and Shuang Xu was about to get out of the car, He Tingzhou grabbed her by the waist, picked her up, carried her into the house, carried her to the second floor, and put her on the bed.
Shuang Xu wanted to get out of bed, so he asked, "Where are you going?"
"Take a shower."
"I'll carry you."
He Tingzhou picked her up again, and Shuang Xu had no choice but to hug his neck: "...Aren't you exaggerating a little too much?"
When taking a bath, he rarely had any bad thoughts. He washed her clean, wrapped her in a bath towel, and took her out to blow-dry her hair.
Shuang Xu was not wearing shoes. He put his feet on his shoes and squinted his eyes comfortably.
It's okay to exaggerate, it's good to have someone to serve you.
It was too late and she yawned sleepily. He Tingzhou carried her to bed. In the warm light of the wall lamp, he gently combed her long hair with his fingers.
Shuang Xu saw his careless face and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
He Tingzhou didn't know where the precautionary spirit came from, and said in a gloomy tone: "I'm thinking about how to guard against your brother coming to our house to steal the child."
Frost Preface: “…”
The pregnancy was notified to the elders of both parties the next day.
On the morning of New Year's Day, He Qingwei finished his daily morning exercise. Fu Yun got up late because she stayed up late the night before, so Shen Changyuan stayed at home with her for breakfast. Shen Yu fed the turtle, put on his coat and went out.
The snow had stopped and a group of kids were setting off firecrackers on the roadside. The driver opened the door and Shen Yu got in. At this moment, the phone in his pocket beeped.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, good news came.
This is the first grandson of the He and Shen families and has received incomparable attention.
Shuang Xu did not stop working during her pregnancy. She went to work in Feixue every day as usual, but the frequency of her business trips was greatly reduced.
He Tingzhou sent Lao Xu to be her full-time driver. He had always been a safe driver, and now he was even more cautious. But most of the time he was bored, because He Tingzhou would pick him up in person whenever he was free.
The family hired professional nutritionists and nurses to take care of her, both of whom were personally selected by Fu Yun and He Wenjing.
The two of them would run to Taiheyuan every day and keep an eye on her to make sure she didn't get tired. Xiao Liao had eaten at hundreds of restaurants and was promoted to the two empress dowagers' special spy. He was responsible for monitoring what time Shuang Xu got off work and whether she had lunch and supplements on time every day.
Occasionally, when Shuang Xu felt craving for some junk food, he had to hide in Shu Yang's office like a thief.
Shu Yang took pleasure in the misfortune: "Haha, you have come to this day too."
Then he grabbed her ice cream and said, "Give it to me."
Shuang Xu wanted to stop her from eating raw or cold food, but he had no choice but to go along with her because he was not a decent person and they were both fallen people.
Unfortunately, the next second Liao Qincha pushed the door open, confiscated their loot and walked away.
In the evening, He Tingzhou came to pick up Shuangxu from get off work. She leaned on him and asked disappointedly, "Do you love me?"
He Tingzhou: "Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
"……ice cream."
