Chapter 245 Don't be afraid, your husband is here
Huo Shenyuan carried the soft, warm person in his arms and strode out.
Qingning's cheeks were flushed, and she nestled quietly against his chest, her breath carrying the sweet scent of fruit wine.
"Mr. Huo?" A charming female voice blocked his way.
Huo Shenyuan paused and looked up.
The woman in front of him had a head of alluring, wavy hair, full red lips, and a hot figure; it was Lin Xia.
He nodded indifferently.
"Miss Lin."
Lin Xia's gaze was fixed on Qing Ning in his arms, and she couldn't hide the amazement in her eyes.
Who is this?
"My girlfriend has had too much to drink."
Huo Shenyuan lowered his head and glanced at Qing Ning, his tone filled with a doting affection that he himself didn't realize.
"So beautiful, so cute."
Lin Xia praised him verbally, but inwardly she was insanely jealous.
She never expected that Huo Shenyuan, a man at the very top of the pyramid, would actually find a mute girl as his girlfriend.
This is the girl.
She had seen it with her own eyes last time at the Jinse Club.
That night, Huo Shenyuan lost his temper on the spot because of this little mute boy and punished more than ten employees of Sheng's Group.
His protective manner still makes her feel a tightness in her chest when she thinks about it now.
On what grounds?
In terms of beauty and talent, in what way did Lin Xia lose?
God is truly blind, letting her talents go to waste.
But it's okay.
Now that I'm a designer at the Vanstar Hotel, I'll have plenty of opportunities to interact with Mr. Huo in the future.
Lin Xia suppressed the bitterness in her heart and put on a polite smile.
"Then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Huo."
The black Bentley smoothly drove into the night.
Inside the car, Huo Shenyuan and Qing Ning sat side by side in the back seat.
Qingning suddenly opened her eyes, her watery eyes slightly hazy.
She held up two slender, white fingers and waved them in front of his eyes.
She used sign language, her movements slow and deliberate.
Why are there two of you?
Which one is real, and which one is fake?
A helpless smile appeared on Huo Shenyuan's handsome face as he reached out and ruffled her hair.
"You get this drunk from just a little fruit wine? I'm amazed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingning crawled over on all fours and sat directly on his lap.
This posture... Huo Shenyuan's body instantly froze.
She was completely unaware of his presence, and naturally wrapped one arm around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder like a kitten seeking shelter.
His fresh and pleasant scent made her feel at ease.
Her other hand wasn't idle; she curiously poked his protruding Adam's apple and then gently stroked it back and forth.
That rolling arc has a fatal sexiness.
That's absolutely terrible.
Huo Shenyuan gasped, his large hand suddenly gripping her mischievous little hand, his voice taut and filled with suppressed emotion.
"Little one, don't move around."
The air inside the car heated up instantly.
"Huo Shenyuan... I like you."
A soft, kitten-like voice suddenly rang in his ear.
It's very light.
But it was like a thunderclap that exploded in his mind.
Huo Shenyuan froze, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.
He looked at the person in his arms in disbelief.
"Qingning, you...you spoke?"
What did you just say?
Say it again.
He must be hallucinating. He's been wanting to hear her speak so much lately that he's gotten sick from it.
Qingning seemed somewhat dissatisfied with his confinement, shifted her body, and repeated the sentence again.
"Huo Shenyuan, I like you."
She practiced this line countless times in front of the mirror, always wanting to surprise him.
Unexpectedly, he blurted it out unconsciously while drunk.
boom--
This time, Huo Shenyuan heard it clearly.
Every word was crystal clear.
He was overwhelmed with immense joy and shock.
She really knows how to talk!
She said she liked him!
He was so excited that his hands were trembling. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously.
"Qingning, wake up and look at me."
Qingning felt uncomfortable from being shaken by him, and reluctantly opened her eyelids, her eyes unfocused and dazed.
"Qingning, look at me, who am I?" he asked urgently, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
She squinted and stared at him for several seconds before softly uttering three words, "Huo Shenyuan."
"Qingning, you can talk! You really can talk!"
Huo Shenyuan cupped her small face in his hands, looking as surprised as a child.
Qingning struggled uncomfortably, pulled his large hand away, and muttered something under her breath.
"Eat candy."
"Okay, have some candy."
Huo Shenyuan's eyes welled up with tears, and the next second, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The kiss, filled with long-suppressed affection and ecstasy, left her breathless.
Qingning was dizzy from the kiss, and her little hands grabbed at his chest.
"Sizzle—"
She ripped open his expensive custom-made shirt, and a button popped off.
Huo Shenyuan abruptly stopped moving.
He was breathing heavily, his forehead pressed against hers, trying to calm his surging desire.
no.
How could he bear to harm her in the slightest at a time like this?
He then turned and hugged her tightly, very tightly.
The person in my arms soon became completely still, and their breathing became long and even.
She fell asleep.
Huo Shenyuan looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, the tenderness in his eyes etched into his very bones.
He really liked her and wished he could keep her by his side every day. He planned to take her home at the end of the year.
...
On the other side, Fu Beichen's car did not go straight home, but instead drove to the riverside near Emperor View No. 1.
The car came to a complete stop.
He got out of the car, walked around to the other side, took Gu Xingnian's hand, and led her slowly away.
"I just finished eating, so I'm taking a walk to digest." His voice was low in the night.
The riverbank was brightly lit.
Cruise ships slowly sailed across the river, leaving long trails of light and shadow.
Not far away, a few young people were riding skateboards, the sound of their wheels scraping the ground clear yet distant.
Everything was quiet and comfortable.
The night breeze carried a coolness as it brushed against her cheek.
Fu Beichen immediately stopped and deftly took off his suit jacket.
His coat, still warm from his body heat, completely enveloped her.
The familiar scent of him instantly enveloped her.
Gu Xingnian smiled, her eyes crinkling.
“When I was in school, I loved coming to the riverbank. I used to think, how wonderful it would be if one day I could walk along the riverbank with you!”
"I never imagined that my dream would come true so many years later."
Fu Beichen's heart skipped a beat.
That familiar feeling of guilt overwhelmed him once again, filling his heart completely.
"sorry."
His voice was a little hoarse.
"I realized it too late."
He stopped, looked at her, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"From now on, I'll come with you every day, as long as you like."
Gu Xingnian didn't speak. She turned around and placed her hands on the cold stone railing.
Looking across the river from this angle, the Fu Group building stands like a silent giant in the night.
Diagonally opposite the giant, she could clearly see the outline of her small apartment building.
“You bought that apartment in your first year back in China.”
Her voice was very soft, carried on the wind.
"Because that balcony faces your office directly."
“Every day when I look up, I can see the light in your office.”
"Fu Beichen, you really owe me too much."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind.
Fu Beichen hugged her tightly from behind, encircling her petite body in his arms.
"I will try my best to make up for it in the future."
"I will make up for what I owe you, little by little."
His chin rested on her shoulder, his hot breath brushing against her ear.
"Niannian, thank you for continuing to love me."
"Thank you for saving the child."
"I will try my best to be a good husband and a good father, so that you and the baby can be the happiest people in the world."
He buried his head deep in the crook of her neck, whispering the most tender words of his life.
Gu Xingnian's body trembled slightly.
She slowly turned around to face him.
His hands remained firmly wrapped around her in his arms, leaving no gap between them.
She looked up and met his deep eyes.
"Fu Beichen, I believe in you."
His tall frame completely enveloped her, gazing at her face, which appeared exceptionally beautiful under the lamplight.
His Adam's apple bobbed forcefully.
He suddenly chuckled softly, a hint of mischief in his voice.
"Come on, show us with your actions."
He moved closer to her, their breaths mingling.
"Give my husband a kiss."
Gu Xingnian's face flushed instantly.
She lowered her head, but couldn't help but smile.
"don't want."
Fu Beichen wasn't annoyed. He brought his lips to her ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"If you kiss me, I'll give you 'normal' prenatal education tonight."
Gu Xingnian instantly recalled his "abnormal" prenatal education methods that made her blush.
Her cheeks were burning hot, incredibly so.
"Not intimate?"
Fu Beichen said again, his voice carrying a blatant threat.
"Then forget it, we'll do it my way tonight."
Before he could finish speaking...
Gu Xingnian suddenly stood on tiptoe and her soft lips instantly kissed his.
Fu Beichen smiled happily and immediately took the initiative, passionately responding to her kiss.
The sweet orange flavor from her breath made him completely lose control and unable to resist.
...
Finally, I've made it to week 22 of pregnancy.
This was the day for the detailed anomaly scan, and Gu Xingnian's heart had been in her throat since last night, feeling extremely anxious.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital corridor was unpleasant.
Fu Beichen's large, warm hands remained around her waist, encircling her in his arms. His warm chest pressed against her back, bringing a steady and reassuring strength.
He lowered his head, his lips almost touching her ear.
"Don't be afraid, your husband is here."
His voice was low and deep.
"Our baby will be alright."
Gu Xingnian clenched her hands uneasily, her nails digging into her palms.
She nodded.
This little one, who has been in their belly for more than five months, has already formed a deep emotional bond with them.
But she remained uneasy.
After all, she conceived in Maduri.
At that time, Fu Beichen was carrying the virus, and nobody knew whether that damned virus had any effect.
She walked into the ultrasound room, where the air felt somewhat heavy.
Gu Xingnian lay quietly on the examination bed, the cold coupling gel pressed against her lower abdomen, making her shudder.
The probe pressed down.
The doctor pressed quite hard, making the little one in my belly dodge and weave.
Gu Xingnian felt a little uncomfortable, but she dared not move.
Because the doctor is on the screen, carefully examining every organ and every part of the baby, ruling out those terrible deformities one by one.
Time passed, second by second.
It felt like an eternity.
Half an hour later, Gu Xingnian slowly walked out of the ultrasound room.
Fu Beichen immediately came to greet him.
Seeing her distraught appearance, his handsome face instantly lost all color, and his heart sank straight down.
He guessed it.
He pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her back with his hand.
"Don't be sad, baby, don't be sad."
"You're still young. Let's get healthy and then have another one."
Gu Xingnian lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes empty, and just stared at him.
“But you had your tubal ligation done.” Her voice was very soft. “You said this was your only child.”
Fu Beichen's breath hitched, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
A few seconds later, he spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"Then I'll have another unblocking surgery."
"I will definitely give you another child."
He really regretted his impulsive actions back then.
Gu Xingnian spoke again, her voice slightly nasal.
"But I don't want to have a second child."
"What do you mean by having a second child?" Fu Beichen was stunned, his brows furrowing. "What did you just say?"
Gu Xingnian suddenly burst out laughing, followed by an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"The baby is fine and perfectly healthy!"
"Haha, look at your expression!"
Fu Beichen let out a heavy sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing. He pinched her cheek, both amused and exasperated.
"You little rascal, you've learned to lie to me now?"
He lowered his voice, which carried a hint of danger.
"Just wait and see how I punish you tonight."
"You dare?" Gu Xingnian's expression suddenly changed. She raised an eyebrow and spoke with a tone full of anger, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I wouldn't dare."
Fu Beichen immediately surrendered.
"My wife is in charge. Whenever you want it, your husband will give it to you."
He leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, and Gu Xingnian's face flushed instantly.
He smirked smugly, slipped his arm under her knees, and swept her up in his arms.
Strong arms held her steadily.
He carried her and strode out.
"Grandpa misses you. I've prepared a big meal to treat my precious son."
How did you know it was a son?
Gu Xingnian nestled in his arms, looking at his sharply defined jawline with a puzzled expression.
"A daughter is fine too."
He looked down at her and gave her a bright smile. Actually, he had seen the eleventh item in her report, which included something about XY.
"I love all the children you gave birth to."
"Giving birth to a piglet would also be fine."
Gu Xingnian reached out and patted his shoulder hard.
"Fu Beichen, are you laughing at me for being a sow?"
“It shouldn’t be a sow…” He laughed even harder. “It could be a tigress.”
"You still dare to talk!"
Their happy laughter echoed down the corridor.
...
Sheng Family Garden.
Sheng Weiwei, supporting her large, round belly, slowly strolled along the cobblestone path.
The sky was terribly overcast, mirroring her mood.
She hadn't seen Bai Yu for three whole weeks since that hotpot dinner.
Three weeks!
He simply vanished into thin air.
I haven't called her, haven't sent her any messages, I can't even catch a glimpse of her, and the prenatal education we promised has completely fallen through.
Finally, she dialed that familiar number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered, and a soft female voice came through.
"Hello, who is looking for Mr. Bai?"
It's her again?
"His wife, tell him to get out of here and remember to bring durians."
"......"
