"Just tell me what it is, as long as I can do it," Xiao Zhang assured, patting his chest. He had been pursuing Zheng Nana for over half a year, but they barely spoke to each other. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get Zheng Nana to even glance at him.
It's such a wonderful thing that she took the initiative to come to my door today.
He was extremely excited.
Zheng Nana looked around to make sure no one was there, then leaned close to Xiao Zhang's ear and whispered a few words.
Xiao Zhang's expression changed: "This...this isn't quite right, is it?"
“Brother Zhang, didn’t you say you were willing to do anything for me?” Zheng Nana’s eyes were slightly red. “I really need your help.”
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xiao Zhang's heart softened: "Okay, I promise you. But you have to agree to one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Have dinner with me tonight."
Zheng Nana bit her lip, suppressing the disgust in her eyes, and nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Lu Linchuan was holding Su Wantang's hand as they walked towards the hospital.
Su Wantang was in a good mood.
For the past three months, she has had few pregnancy symptoms and her appetite has improved significantly.
Upon arriving at the obstetrics and gynecology department, the doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties surnamed Wang. She glanced at Su Wantang's medical record and had her lie down on the examination bed.
"Relax, don't be nervous," Dr. Wang said as he prepared the equipment.
Su Wantang nodded, and Lu Linchuan stood beside her, holding her hand.
The prenatal checkup began, and Dr. Wang slowly moved the stethoscope across Su Wantang's belly.
"The fetus is developing normally, and the fetal heartbeat is also very good," Dr. Wang said as he examined the baby. "The size is consistent with the gestational age."
Su Wantang breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Linchuan also smiled.
After the examination, Dr. Wang asked them to have their blood drawn for testing and to undergo a Down syndrome screening.
"The results will be available tomorrow, then you can come and pick them up," Dr. Wang said.
"Okay, thank you, doctor." After thanking the doctor, Su Wantang got up and left with Lu Linchuan.
As night deepened, waves crashed against the shore in the distance, their sound echoing continuously.
Only a warm yellow bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, its soft light enveloping the small space. Su Wantang had just finished showering, her body still carrying the sweet fruity scent of shower gel. She was leaning against the headboard, wearing a loose silk nightgown, holding a parenting book in her hands, seemingly lost in thought.
The bathroom door was gently pulled open, and Lu Linchuan stepped out, bringing with him a trail of warm steam. He had changed into a matching set of pajamas, and his wet hair clung to his forehead, softening his usually sharp features.
He held a delicate glass bottle in his hand and sat down by the bed.
Su Wantang looked up from her book and down at the bottle in his hand. "What is this?"
"It was recommended by the doctor." Lu Linchuan unscrewed the cap, and a delicate orange blossom scent instantly filled the air. "It's a massage oil to prevent stretch marks."
As he spoke, he poured a little into his palm, then rubbed his hands together slowly. The transparent oil warmed in his palms with his body heat, and the fragrance became even more refreshing.
Su Wantang put down her book and awkwardly tugged at the hem of her nightgown.
Lu Linchuan saw through her unease and said in a low voice, "Don't move."
His voice held an undeniable certainty, yet also carried a reassuring tone. Su Wantang truly stopped moving, her fingers unconsciously curling up to grip the bedsheet beneath her.
Lu Linchuan lifted a corner of her nightgown, revealing her slightly protruding, barely defined abdomen. Her skin, under the warm light, was as smooth as fine mutton-fat jade, radiating a lustrous glow.
He placed his warm, oily palm on it.
"Hmm..." Su Wantang let out a soft groan, her body tensing up involuntarily. His palm was large, calloused, and felt rough and itchy when she touched it. A strange tingling sensation quickly spread from the point of contact throughout her body.
