Chapter 1176 Approaching the New Year
Thinking of this, Gu Wanqiu couldn't help but smile. The smile on the corner of her mouth did not reach her eyes. She tilted her head and looked at Li Jinxing.
"How is it? Did you feel anything?"
"No."
"My clothes were too thick, so I definitely couldn't feel it. Besides, my stomach just moved for a while and twitched a little."
"Does it hurt?" Li Jinxing asked.
Gu Wanqiu shook her head. "It doesn't hurt, but I feel like I can't control the movements in my stomach. I don't know if it's because of illness. If I hadn't gone to the hospital for a checkup and found out I was fine, I would have thought I had something growing inside, like a tumor or something."
Li Jinxing withdrew his hand: "Nonsense."
Hearing Gu Wanqiu say that it didn't hurt, he felt less nervous. He also wanted to feel the fetal movement. It was like two people from different worlds feeling the surge of each other's life. The feeling of discovering a new life was very strange.
So when Li Jinxing withdrew his hand, his eyes were still fixed on her belly, with a hint of desire visible in his gaze.
Do you really want to feel the presence of this child?
"When did you feel your stomach moving uncontrollably?"
"Recently..." Gu Wanqiu stretched her fingers, "It happened three times this week. The first time was in the middle of the night. My stomach suddenly moved, waking me up from my dream. At the time, I thought it was a cramp. Apart from the first time, it didn't hurt after that."
Li Jinxing frowned: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't think it was necessary...it wasn't anything serious, and it came and went so quickly I didn't even realize it."
Feeling pain may be
Gu Wanqiu didn't know about the contractions, so she didn't care at all and didn't know the seriousness of the problem.
But in fact, occasional uterine contractions are normal and there is no big problem. But when he heard Gu Wanqiu say it hurt, his emotions subconsciously tensed up and he couldn't relax.
Even the driver in front could feel his nervousness, not to mention Gu Wanqiu beside him.
"What are you nervous about?"
"Tell me if this happens again."
Gu Wanqiu said with a smile: "What's the point of telling you? Can you feel it for me? And I've already said it's just a small problem."
Li Jinxing's tone was a little paranoid: "I really can't feel and share your pain. You may not understand the possessiveness of a man who likes you. He wants to pay attention to your situation all the time, no matter whether you are happy or sad. Have you ever heard of the words "telepathy" and "empathy"? "
"I've heard about it, but I don't believe it. There's no such thing as empathy in this world. It's just self-touching."
Li Jinxing didn’t believe it before, until Gu Wanqiu became pregnant and had pregnancy symptoms, he also had them. Perhaps this was the result of spiritual connection and empathy.
"But I do believe in men's possessiveness. If I feel bad in the future, I'll tell you. Maybe it will help." Gu Wanqiu blinked. "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry, but now that you said it, it seems like you're worried about me. It's a good choice. Maybe I'll feel better."
Why should she bear the pain alone when two people can bear it together? Even if her physical pain can't let Li Jin
We can feel the same way, but it’s also okay to make him feel uncomfortable.
Li Jinxing was stunned for two seconds, then a smile returned to his face. He reached out and gently pinched her face: "You just take advantage of the fact that I like you."
Gu Wanqiu said confidently: "Yes, I just rely on the fact that you like me."
After she returned home, the two children came to greet her and asked her what the results of her physical examination at the hospital were.
"I'm in good health, don't worry."
"Auntie Gu, have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
Several people walked in and chatted.
"What are you eating?"
"It's milk tea and donuts."
After hearing this, the two children swallowed their saliva involuntarily. They probably inherited Gu Wanqiu's love for sweets.
Siyan and Sixu love to eat all kinds of sweets, but unfortunately, Li Jinxing rarely lets them touch them. At a young age, Li Jinxing has strictly controlled their snacks. They can't eat what they want, and have to bear what they shouldn't bear at this age.
However, Li Jinxing was also doing this for their own good. Eating too much sweets would become "addictive" and bad for the body. Children would easily gain weight, develop various diseases, and their teeth would also be damaged.
"Ah--" Si Yanchang sighed deeply, touched his chubby face and said, "I also want to drink milk tea and eat donuts." He stared at Gu Wanqiu eagerly, as if asking Gu Wanqiu why she didn't buy some for him and his brother. Even if she didn't buy it, it would be okay to leave some for him to try.
Gu Wanqiu squatted down and tapped his little mouth: "Little greedy, the milk tea and donuts were bought by your father. If you want to eat, go find him."
"Forget it then." The little guy was scared.
He shuddered at the back of his neck.
Gu Wanqiu didn't understand why Si Yan and Si Xu were so afraid of Li Jinxing. She had been here for so long and had never seen Li Jinxing beat or scold them. She could even say that he was very gentle and treated them very well. Why were they so scared?
But seeing how afraid they were of Li Jinxing, Gu Wanqiu found it a little funny.
"Milk tea and donuts are junk food. Eating too much will make you fat and your face darken. Children will not grow taller if they eat them, which will affect their development. They will even cause worms to grow in your mouth and eat away all your teeth, causing toothaches that will force you to go to the hospital and see a doctor."
Gu Wanqiu threatened while watching Si Yan and Si Xu cover their mouths with their hands, their little faces filled with fear. "Then I won't eat it. I don't want to eat these anymore. Aunt Gu, you shouldn't eat them either. Daddy is so mean. How could he buy you junk food?"
Gu Wanqiu nodded and childishly agreed, "You're right, he's really too bad. Let's supervise each other from now on and not eat these."
The two little guys nodded seriously.
Li Jinxing's voice came from behind: "What are you talking about me?"
Li Jin walked over and saw three people squatting on the floor in the living room. He didn't know what they were plotting. He just heard them mention him.
Three faces looked at him at the same time, all with innocent expressions: "We didn't say anything."
Yes, nothing.
The mother and her two children looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Suddenly, her stomach started to move again. Gu Wanqiu suddenly stood up and walked towards Li Jinxing. Before Li Jinxing could react,
She grabbed his hand and placed it on her abdomen.
"My stomach is cramping again. Can you feel it this time?"
There was heating at home, so Gu Wanqiu took off her down jacket and put on a thin sweater. Li Jinxing wore even less, only a shirt with his sleeves rolled up.
Gu Wanqiu pressed his hand on her abdomen. Through her clothes and belly, he felt the beating of the new life inside her belly. An indescribable excitement spread from the top of his heart.
This was a feeling he had never had before. He seemed to be greeting the baby in Gu Wanqiu's belly. This was the first time he felt so deeply and truly felt the existence of this life. This was his daughter.
It just moved slightly and then it disappeared. Li Jinxing touched it and wanted to feel it again...
Gu Wanqiu felt uncomfortable with his touch and stepped back to avoid it: "It was just a little while."
Li Jinxing was a little amused and confused as he mistook the baby's fetal movement for cramps, but it was not Gu Wanqiu's fault, after all, she didn't know.
If she knew, the baby would never stay in her belly and have a chance to move.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face froze.
Gu Wanqiu looked at him: "What are you laughing at? Shouldn't you be worried about my stomach cramps?"
Li Jinxing nodded seriously: "I am really worried."
"Then do you feel bad?"
"I feel bad for you."
It was so perfunctory. Gu Wanqiu rolled his eyes openly, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The more Li Jinxing cares about this child, the more painful it will be when he loses him. Only then will he truly know.
What is empathy?
"But why did I feel like you seemed very happy just now?"
"You're dazzled."
Gu Wanqiu didn't ask any more questions. She knew very well what Li Jinxing was thinking. She was just trying to stimulate his fatherly love. The more he liked and cared about her, the more reluctant he would be to let her go.
Li Jinxing: "If your stomach moves again in the future, tell me."
Gu Wanqiu smiled but said nothing, and then talked about Li Jinxing's work problems.
…
After this weekend, Li Jinxing has to go out again. In order to accompany Gu Wanqiu to the hospital for a check-up, he adjusted his time. Now, there are a lot of things to do, all piled up together, and he needs to deal with them one by one, so he will be very busy.
As New Year's Eve was getting closer, the weather was getting colder. Gu Wanqiu stayed at home and didn't feel the change in the weather.
The whole time seemed to be paused and closed for her.
But as the New Year approaches, the excitement begins. The servants in the house are busy buying New Year's goods, and Li Jinxing will also have a New Year's holiday.
It was Gu Wanqiu who asked Siyan about the specific details of the holiday.
Si Yan said that Li Jinxing would give the staff at home a half-month annual leave. During this time, Li Jinxing would stay at home with them, cook for them, play with them, and often take them out to buy clothes and travel to other places.
The two brothers are happiest during the Chinese New Year. Although they are afraid of Li Jinxing, they also hope that their father can always be with them.
Will it take half a month?
The time left for Gu Wanqiu was becoming increasingly tight. As soon as she returned from the hospital, she felt the frequency of fetal movement.
The rate is increasing.
She will be able to implement the plan in the next two days. Gong Qing also asked her on the phone if she could take some time off, avoid everyone, and go out to meet him.
Gu Wanqiu has been waiting for an opportunity.
The closer it gets to the New Year holiday, the busier the house becomes. The chef has to prepare various New Year dishes, and the nanny and maids are also busy decorating the villa. This year's decoration is different from previous years.
In previous years, they just had to clean the house once, but this year, Li Jinxing specifically told them to decorate the house more presentably and festively to create a New Year atmosphere.
Isn't red the ideal for festive occasions? To celebrate the New Year, every household puts up red couplets, hangs lanterns, and even puts up window decorations. Besides that, my family also bought some decorative ribbons and changed the tablecloths.
The chef was responsible for filling the refrigerator, buying fresh fruits and vegetables and putting them in the cold storage, and then making some instant meals and putting them in the freezer. There were meats, chickens, ducks, fish and all kinds of seafood. He didn't have to worry about no one cooking after he left, because Li Jinxing would do it, and the food he cooked would taste no worse than his.
In addition to various ingredients used for cooking, snacks are also indispensable during the Chinese New Year. These nannies have to go to the mall in person to select clean snacks that are suitable for children and do not contain harmful additives.
The most purchased item is milk candy. The reason why Si Yan and Si Xu like the Chinese New Year is that eating candy is inevitable. It is only at this time that they can indulge in eating a lot of sweets.
Looking at the nanny and chef who were preparing to purchase goods, Gu Wanqiu suggested that she would go along with them.
Neither the nanny nor the chef agreed immediately, looking very embarrassed: "Ms. Gu, you still have to discuss this with Mr. Li.
Say something."
"Do I have to tell him when I go out with you guys to buy New Year's goods? Do I still have freedom?"
After living together for so long, Gu Wanqiu's relationship with them has become very good, and they can talk about anything.
Mrs. Li smiled and advised, "Boss Li is also concerned about you. If you tell him before you go out, he won't worry. Boss Li will definitely agree to let you go out. Just give him a call."
It was just a matter of a phone call, and Gu Wanqiu didn't say no. Li Jinxing was overly "concerned" about her. As long as the weather was cold outside, he would ask people around to keep a close eye on her, follow her wherever she went, and always make sure she wore thicker clothes, which made it very inconvenient for her to go out. She herself was a person who was very afraid of trouble, so she simply didn't go out. A few days ago, Li Jinxing gave her a bunch of information, and in order to continue working with him, she could only read the information and study at home.
She has so much material to read at home that she can't finish it. Sometimes she also has to take some time to accompany her children. Her day is fully scheduled. How can she have any spare time to think about going out for a walk?
Li Jinxing didn't tell her not to go out. He did mention that if she felt bored at home, she could go out for a walk, go shopping in the mall, eat out, go to a beauty salon for a beauty treatment, or get a massage... These were all fine. As long as she ate healthily and her play did not involve life-threatening situations, he would not stop her.
It seems that he is very tolerant of her and gives her enough freedom, but in fact, she is always accompanied by bodyguards when she goes out.
In the past few days, she has noticed that the bodyguards around her have become lax. If she goes out to buy with Mrs. Li,
New Year's goods. During this period, there are many people on the streets and in the shopping malls. She can take advantage of the chaos to run away and then meet Gong Qing.
If she hadn't made this call, Mrs. Li and the others would definitely not take her out. If she insisted on going, they would most likely not go out today and stay at home with her.
Gu Wanqiu didn't want to embarrass them, so she took out her cell phone and made a call in front of them.
The call was quickly connected, and Gu Wanqiu said to Mrs. Li and the others, "Wait for me, I'll call Li Jinxing right away. If he agrees, I'll go out with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was connected and Li Jinxing's voice came from the other end.
"Wanwan, what's the matter?"
