Chapter 236 Extra 1: Pregnancy
Although they say they are preparing for pregnancy, it is actually more like letting nature take its course. They look forward to the arrival of the child, but they don't force it too much.
It's just that the 32-year-old man is still as strong as before. Two months ago, they were intimate with each other without taking any precautions, but they didn't expect to get pregnant.
After Jiang Shibai knew that she was pregnant, he was even more exaggerated than when she was in the hospital. He completely forgot about the pot of old duck soup in the kitchen and sat in the living room for several hours before he came to his senses.
From then on, he wished he could transform himself into a filial husband, talking about his wife all the time, with the word "wife" on his lips almost becoming his catchphrase.
During working hours, he was even more concerned about Xu Xian's situation. Whenever he had time, he would send her a message, asking her if she wanted to eat, if she was tired, if the child was making a fuss, if she wanted to vomit, and other questions.
If the reality did not allow it, he would move his office to the design company and keep an eye on her to feel at ease.
In contrast to his nervousness, Xu Xian, who was holding a ball, seemed fine. Apart from intentionally reducing his workload and going to and from get off work on time, there was not much change.
The child is also very well-behaved. Apart from liking sour food, he doesn't make any trouble at all.
They were very cautious and careful, and insisted that the news should not be spread before three months. Except for Aunt Zhang who cooked, they kept the secret from everyone else, not even telling their family members.
This made Jiang Shibai, the expectant father, very depressed. After work, he secretly watched videos in the office to learn how to take care of pregnant women and parenting knowledge, etc. There was even a basket of related books in the study at home.
He has a very good memory and can almost remember everything he sees.
But he was extremely cautious in this matter, and believed that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He copied down the important contents one by one and read them over and over again, for fear that he had not taken good care of Xu Xian.
As soon as the three-month deadline was up, Jiang Shibai calculated the time. As soon as the hour and minute hands touched zero, she immediately sent a message to inform her family of her pregnancy, which woke up the entire drowsy Jiang family.
Even Mrs. Jiang, who went to bed early, was no exception. She was so happy that she was at a loss for words and almost asked the driver to take her to Repulse Bay in the middle of the night.
The bedroom was quiet in the early morning. Xu Xian stretched out his arms in a daze, but was not embraced by someone as usual. He opened his eyes in a daze.
I found that the bed next to me was cold and the person had disappeared long ago.
Xu Xian turned on the night light and searched for Jiang Shibai in his slippers. Finally, he stopped at the door of the study. The door was not closed tightly, and a low but joyful voice came from inside, even with a hint of complacency.
"Yuanzhou, do you think Guaibao will give birth to a boy or a girl?" Jiang Shibai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her, looking at the scattered lights outside the window in the dark night.
The phone was on loudspeaker, so she could hear the voice on the other end clearly.
The improper voice obviously came from Du Yuanzhou, and the tone was teasing but not impatient.
"Lao Jiang, I congratulate you on becoming a future father. After all, I'm the stepfather, but I'm in the land of tenderness. Are you sure you want to keep talking to me about parenting?"
Du Yuanzhou, shirtless, slightly pushed away the woman who was leaning on his chest and seducing him. Then he sat up straight, his voice hoarse afterward, "Besides, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to talk to Lao Bai about the topic of children?"
An hour ago, Jiang Shibai called him and told him that his little girl was pregnant. Now he called him again, and it seemed as if they wanted to talk until dawn.
He didn't quite understand why he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
"He wants to sleep with his daughter. If I call him, he will wake her up." Jiang Shibai said in a light voice.
Du Yuanzhou: "So I'm the only one who has a grudge."
After the voice fell, he changed the subject, "But I like little girls. Think about it, Xue'er calls me Little Daddy, Lao Bai's little daughter also calls me Little Daddy, if you have another daughter who calls me Little Daddy, just thinking about it will make you happy."
He has no plans to get married in this life. His brothers' sons and daughters are also his sons and daughters. Anyway, as long as the children are soft and gentle, they can call him that. He is not picky.
Jiang Shibai's thin lips curled lightly, and his tone was nonchalant, "That's right, you are alone and don't even have a wife to sleep with you. Let my daughter take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
"Old Jiang, you're really good, always poking at your brother's heart." Du Yuanzhou's voice was quite exasperated. "Be careful that your little girl doesn't get kidnapped by some bad boy outside."
What kind of good brothers does he have!
Not only did she harass him in the middle of the night, but she also rubbed salt into his wounds.
Jiang Shibai: "..."
Let’s have a son!
Xu Xian listened for a while, his pale pink lips slightly curled up, and he was afraid that Du Yuanzhou would make Jiang Shibai angry to death, so he quickly pushed open the study door.
"Hubby." The sweet and soft voice was a little sleepy, and very delicate.
Jiang Shibai heard the voice, hurriedly told Du Yuanzhou that they would talk later, and then unilaterally hung up the phone.
In the hotel, Du Yuanzhou stared at the black screen of his mobile phone, his peach blossom eyes twitching slightly. He wanted to continue doing things with the woman next to him, but he no longer had the original interest.
Before it was time to go to bed, he simply opened the shopping app at night and ordered a bunch of pink children's clothes and toys.
Jiang Shibai strode over to Xu Xian, held her slightly cold hand, and draped his coat over her. "Baby, why are you awake? Did I wake you up with my voice?"
Worrying too much will lead to confusion. It is said that a woman will become stupid for three years after giving birth. In their family, it seems that Jiang Shibai has become stupid.
The bedroom is on the third floor and the study is on the second floor. The villa has good sound insulation, so how could the talking possibly disturb her?
Xu Xian shook his head. "It wasn't you. I woke up by myself and saw that you were not there, so I went downstairs to look for you."
"Call me next time and don't go out in the dark. Be careful." Jiang Shibai took her back to the bedroom and kept chattering like an old man.
Jiang Shibai took very good care of Xu Xian throughout her pregnancy. He personally helped her soak her feet and apply pregnancy oil every day. If she had cramps in the middle of the night, he would immediately wake her up and give her a massage, not to mention taking care of her in every detail of her daily life.
Three months was like a trigger mechanism. Xu Xian, who was originally not pretentious at all, would occasionally act unreasonably under the influence of pregnancy hormones. Sometimes she would cry and make trouble for no reason. Jiang Shibai just acted as her punching bag, saying nothing and letting her make trouble until she was happy.
For example, one day she suddenly started to criticize Jiang Shibai, asking why women should bear the risk of pregnancy while men enjoy the benefits.
Or if she wants to eat midnight steamed buns that cost half the city, she would insist on him going to buy them himself, and by the time he gets them back, she's already fast asleep.
There are countless things happening almost every day.
Afterwards, Xu Xian would apologize with red eyes, but Jiang Shibai never complained. He said directly, "Guaibao will take care of the physical part, and I will take care of the mental part. The child belongs to both of us, and I can't let you suffer alone."
"If you, my dear, feel sorry for me, we'll have a fight to vent our anger after the baby in your belly is born."
child:"……"
