Chapter 212 My plans for you have been brewing for a long time.
Gu Xingnian's pupils contracted sharply when she saw him.
The instinctive reaction was to close the door.
"Bang!"
Just a second before the door was to close, it was held firmly by a large hand.
That hand had distinct knuckles and slightly visible veins, exuding an irresistible power.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Gu Xingnian deflated, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.
She gave up, turned around and left, not even bothering to give him another glance.
She walked to the window, her back to the door, like a cold sculpture.
“Clatter.”
I heard the soft sound of a door closing behind me.
Footsteps approached from afar, and then a warm chest pressed against her back, and strong arms gently wrapped around her from behind.
His chin rested on her shoulder, his breath, heavy with the smell of alcohol, spraying onto her neck.
"Niannian, I was wrong."
His voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness and ingratiation.
"I shouldn't have said those things to you today. Don't be angry, okay?"
Gu Xingnian placed her hand on the back of his hand and forcefully pried open his fingers one by one.
She turned around, looked directly into his deep eyes, and told him with utmost seriousness.
“Fu Beichen, that’s not a joke.”
"I can't take that kind of joke."
Her eyes instantly reddened and filled with tears, and her voice trembled.
"I failed to protect my first child, and that is my lifelong regret."
"I don't want to do it again..."
Before she could finish speaking, her voice choked with emotion.
Looking at her reddened eyes, Fu Beichen felt as if something had clenched his heart, and he instantly melted into a puddle of water.
He remembered what Lin Qi had told him that night.
Finding out if a child is yours is actually quite simple: a non-invasive paternity test can be done by drawing 10ml of blood.
But what if?
If we really misunderstood her and caused her such emotional fluctuations, it might affect the fetus's development, or even... cause birth defects.
deformity!
Fu Beichen's heart tightened suddenly, as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand.
He immediately put down his wine glass, not caring about anything else, only wanting to come back and coax her.
He made his decision.
Once we get back to Haicheng, I'll secretly get another paternity test done.
Right now, nothing is more important than her and the baby in her belly.
"Don't cry."
His voice was full of heartache.
"You can't have too many emotional ups and downs right now."
He pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, then pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"It's all my fault, I was just talking nonsense when I was drunk, don't take it to heart."
Gu Xingnian buried her face in his chest and shook her head sullenly.
She didn't believe it.
That was definitely not something he said while drunk.
She raised her head, her bloodshot eyes filled with stubbornness.
"Fu Beichen, tell me the real reason."
Why don't you want this child?
He pressed his thin lips together, unable to utter the truthful, even cruel, reason.
silence.
The air felt oppressive.
It took him a long time to come up with a reason that even he almost believed.
"At that time... I was still poisoned."
His voice was hoarse.
"I'm afraid this child isn't healthy, I'm afraid..."
Gu Xingnian believed this reason.
Or rather, she had been afraid of that too.
She had certainly considered this issue, wondering if the virus would affect the fetus.
Moreover, she herself has a genetic defect, what if... she passed it on to him?
The thought of all this filled her with desolation.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.
She spoke slowly, her voice broken and incoherent.
"Fu Beichen, give him a chance, okay?"
"Let him stay in my belly a little longer."
"Wait until 22 weeks...and if the anomaly scan at that time really shows a problem..."
She took a deep breath and used all her strength to utter the last sentence.
“I will… give him up.”
“Okay.” Fu Beichen immediately agreed.
"I'll do whatever you say. When we get back to Haicheng, I'll go with you to your prenatal checkup. I'll keep a close eye on his health."
He reached out and used his fingertips to wipe away the tears on her face.
But the tears could never be wiped away.
"Don't cry, okay?"
As he watched her tears fall, his heart ached with each drop.
He lowered his head and gently kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes with his thin lips, his movements so tender they could melt your heart.
In the end, he managed to appease the person.
He went downstairs to get her some water, fed her the water, and then started to coax her to sleep.
He held her as they lay down, and she curled up in his arms like a frightened kitten.
Her long eyelashes were wet, with glistening tear stains.
His large hand gently patted her back, soothing her in the most primal way.
The person in his arms gradually began to breathe evenly, but he himself was wide awake.
The next day, the group returned to Haicheng as planned.
Zhuang Linyue's eyes were red and moist as she stood at the door, tightly gripping Gu Xingnian's small hand.
"Your clothes won't do, they're too thin."
"The food there is greasy; your stomach isn't good, so don't eat it."
"Special care is needed during pregnancy..."
She kept rambling on and on for almost ten minutes, but she just wouldn't let anyone get on the bus.
Gu Xingnian did not lose patience and her voice was very gentle.
“I will take good care of myself and the baby. The Chinese New Year is in a month and a half, and I will come back to see you then.”
"Okay, okay." Zhuang Linyue nodded hurriedly, but her hand still didn't let go.
The daughter he finally reunited with was still warm to him, and they had only spent three days together.
Zhuang Linyue hugged her tightly. "Xixi, don't blame me. I know I'm not a good mother."
"Perhaps I'm not as good as Madam Sheng, I'm learning..."
Gu Xingnian quickly replied, "You're fine, take care."
She whispered in her ear, "Mom."
Zhuang Linyue's body trembled violently, and tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.
She called her, "Mom."
She had longed for those two words for eighteen years.
Finally, Zhuang Linyue took off the cashmere scarf from her own neck and gently wrapped it around her neck, tying it carefully, round and round.
Only after doing all this did she feel willing to let go.
Bai Yu, carrying a suitcase, scrambled into the car at the last minute.
Zhuang Linyue was stunned. "Where are you going?"
Bai Yu answered crisply and decisively.
"I'll go to Haicheng in your place to take care of your sister."
He pulled his sunglasses down and added another sentence.
"I'll help you bring her back safely during the New Year."
Zhuang Linyue stood there, stunned, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Three luxury cars slowly drove out of the manor, and finally, they boarded Fu Beichen's private jet and flew directly to Haicheng.
It was dusk when we arrived.
The group first returned to the Sheng family villa, planning to have dinner before going home.
When Sheng Ma heard that Weiwei had almost gotten into trouble and was rescued by Bai Yu himself, she became less disgusted with this "incompetent" young master.
No matter what, he was Niannian's older brother, and also Weiwei's brother, so he was practically family.
At the dining table, Sheng's mother was busy taking care of her two pregnant daughters.
The thought of having three more babies in the family in six or seven months makes me incredibly happy.
Sheng's father stared intently at Bai Yu with sharp eyes.
Every time he puts food on Weiwei's plate, his eyes twitch.
It seems... this young master is still up to no good.
Still staring at her baby bok choy?
Tonight, there's another face at the Sheng family's dining table.
Huo Shenyuan.
He felt like he had endured an eternity after only a few days without seeing Qingning.
That's why he decided to come and freeload a meal.
Moreover, they insisted on sitting down next to Qingning.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat awkward.
Huo Shenyuan diligently served Qingning food several times.
"Eat more of this, it's your favorite."
Qingning remained expressionless, using the tip of her chopsticks to slowly scoop the food he had picked up into a small mountain on a bone plate, without touching it.
She doesn't even go to see him.
Just sitting next to him made her feel inexplicably awkward and annoyed, a feeling that made it hard for her to breathe.
After the meal, Huo Shenyuan cornered the man on the garden path.
The night was deep, and the garden lights were dim.
His tall figure enveloped her, and his voice carried a deliberate gentleness.
"Qingning, do you want some candy?"
He magically produced a piece of candy and waved it in front of her.
Qingning looked at him, raised her hand, and slowly gestured.
Thank you, but I don't want your candy anymore!
Go back now.
She emphasized not eating "your" candy, not not eating candy at all.
Huo Shenyuan's heart clenched suddenly.
He instinctively reached out to pull her, wanting to pull this prickly person into his arms.
Qingning, however, seemed to have anticipated his movements and dodged to the side.
"Qingning, don't hide from me."
His voice instantly became hoarse, carrying a hint of pleading that he himself was unaware of.
"Qingning, I really like you."
"I will not push you away again. No matter if you can speak or not, I will continue to like you."
Qingning paused for a moment.
Then, she suddenly laughed, a faint and cold laugh.
She raised her hand, her movements clear and precise, making the gesture perfectly clear.
Regardless of whether I'm good with words or not, I will never like you again!
Liking something can come without reason and leave just as quickly.
After saying that, she turned and left without a trace of regret.
Huo Shenyuan stood frozen in place, watching helplessly as her figure disappeared around the corner.
At that moment, he felt even worse than if he had messed up a billion-dollar project.
......
The next day, Fu Beichen personally accompanied Gu Xingnian to the Central Hospital for a check-up.
When the cool probe was placed on her lower abdomen, a strong and powerful heartbeat came from the instrument.
Thump. Thump. Thump...
The sound, penetrating the cold machine, struck Fu Beichen's heart heavily.
His tall frame leaned slightly forward, his gaze fixed intently on the screen.
At that moment, he was deeply moved and felt a surge of new life.
He kept convincing himself that the child inside was his.
Gu Xingnian stared at the blurry little black dot on the screen, her eyes instantly welling up with tears that streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Later, the nurse drew several more vials of blood from her and sent them for testing.
Fu Beichen then carefully led the person back to the Imperial Garden.
Upon returning to the Royal Garden, three nutritionists, a doctor, and a childcare specialist were already lined up and waiting.
When the servants in the villa heard that the lady was pregnant, they were all overjoyed and worked with great enthusiasm, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Gu Xingnian is living like a queen today.
Six nutritious meals a day, each one different.
She looked at the bowl of blood-nourishing soup in front of her, feeling quite troubled.
"Don't you want to eat?"
Fu Beichen sat down next to her with a bowl in his hand, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to her lips.
Gu Xingnian shook her head. "I'm not hungry."
His deep voice carried an undeniable tenderness.
"Sweetie, have a couple more sips."
“You’re not eating enough. The doctor said the fetus is a little small, and you need to get your anemia treated as soon as possible.”
He paused, then teased her on purpose.
"You don't want to give birth to a skinny little monkey, do you? I don't want that."
"You just gave birth to a little monkey." Gu Xingnian was amused by him, and a beautiful blush rose on her cheeks. She obediently opened her mouth.
The soup wasn't bad; it had a pleasant sweetness, but her heart was even sweeter.
When did President Fu become such a devoted husband?
After lunch, Fu Beichen took her for a walk in the garden to help her digest.
The warm winter sun shone on me, dispelling all the chill, and it felt so much more comfortable than the frigid air in the capital.
"Fu Beichen".
She looked up at the man beside her; he was tall and imposing, his silhouette perfectly outlined by the sunlight.
"Do you hope for a son or a daughter?"
He tightened his grip on her hand, his palm warm.
His voice was deep and resonant, tinged with a smile, "Both my son and daughter love it."
"As long as it's not ugly, it's fine."
Gu Xingnian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "I think it's a daughter, after all, we stayed in a princess room that night."
Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen's smile deepened.
“A little cotton-padded jacket is nice too.”
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing against the few strands of her hair that had been ruffled by the wind.
"Someone like you must be very beautiful."
His movements were so natural, so intimate.
Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly remembered something, and looked at him with bright eyes.
"Fu Beichen, was it you who had the other large bed in the room moved out?"
She later discovered that the family rooms shown at the hotel reception were not princess rooms.
He made no attempt to hide his lip curling up, his eyes brimming with an intense possessiveness.
"That's right."
"I've been plotting against you for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he wrapped his large, warm hand around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Nian Nian".
"Um."
"From now on, don't call me by my full name. Three characters are too unfamiliar. Call me by my two characters."
Gu Xingnian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay, Mr. Fu."
He reached out his large hand to pinch her ticklish spot. "What did you call me? Say it again."
“Mr. Fu, ha.” She dodged his advances.
He pulled her into his arms. "If you don't behave, I'll punish you."
"Bei Chen?"
"Brother Beichen!" Her voice was soft and very pleasant to hear.
"Hmm, I'll give you one more chance, try something else." He gently nibbled at her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.
"Husband," she called out readily, without any hesitation, whenever she wanted to.
Fu Beichen's heart skipped a beat, and his burning lips precisely covered hers.
Gu Xingnian wrapped her small arms around his strong neck, stood on tiptoe, and responded to him enthusiastically.
In the fragrant air, love flowed freely, so sweet it was almost melting.
The kiss grew deeper and hotter.
Soon after, Fu Beichen's breathing became completely erratic.
The emotions in his eyes were so intense they seemed to want to devour her completely.
The next second.
Gu Xingnian felt her body lighten as she was lifted up by the waist.
Fu Beichen carried her in his arms and strode towards the main house.
"Doctor...the doctor said no."
She whispered a reminder, her voice soft and sweet, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.
After saying that, his cheeks suddenly burned bright red, so red they looked like they could bleed.
Fu Beichen didn't stop walking, but a low laugh came from his chest.
He lowered his head, his hot breath spraying against her earlobe, his voice husky and sexy, with a deadly allure.
"There are other methods."
"Your husband will teach you."
