Chapter 452 Han Mingyu Has Really Changed
The nightlight in the room was turned off.
The faint glow of the digital clock on the bedside table illuminated the intertwined figures of the two on the large bed.
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "No... baby..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm just helping you relax..."
The man's thin lips brushed against her ear, and his large hand gently lifted the hem of her skirt.
Qi Mingxuan's tense body gradually relaxed under the man's guidance.
Perhaps due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, she is much more sensitive than before.
In the darkness, a low, unbearable moan escaped from the woman's lips.
Slender, jade-like fingers ran through the man's thick, black hair.
"Han Mingyu..."
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes wet with tears.
She never imagined Han Mingyu would go to such lengths...
He truly devoted himself entirely to serving and caring for her, even in the very things she disliked most...
A strange and indescribable shiver ran through Qi Mingxuan, her mind went blank, and unconsciously, she murmured the man's name over and over again.
Han Mingyu was mindful of Qi Mingxuan's pregnancy, so while trying his best to satisfy her, he also controlled her to prevent her from having too intense a reaction.
The pleasure provided by Han Mingyu in a one-sided manner came to an end.
The night light turned on.
Han Mingyu stood up and moved closer to Qi Mingxuan, lowering his head to kiss her. Qi Mingxuan's brow twitched, and she instinctively dodged away!
The man paused, his chest heaving, and a slight smile played on his thin lips. "Why do you still despise yourself?"
Qi Mingxuan felt weak all over, but she covered her mouth with her hand, saying, "You, you go rinse your mouth!"
Han Mingyu chuckled softly, "Rinsing my mouth isn't enough, I need to take a cold shower."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan subconsciously looked down at the man's abdomen—
"..."
She quickly looked away, turned to her side, and pulled the blanket over herself. "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
"Go to sleep." Han Mingyu gently patted her head. "Goodnight."
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes, feeling her ears burning.
Han Mingyu got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of water spraying came from the bathroom.
Qi Mingxuan listened to the sound of water being sprinkled and raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks.
Before tonight, she had never known that Han Mingyu had this side to him.
He used to only demand dominance in bed, never caring about her feelings, but tonight's Han Mingyu surprised her greatly.
She thought, Han Mingyu has really changed.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she really wouldn't have believed that Han Mingyu could do such a thing...
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes, but her heart was still beating very fast.
She forced herself to stop thinking about it.
Perhaps because her body felt relieved, Qi Mingxuan fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.
...
Half an hour later, the bathroom door opened.
Han Mingyu walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
His deep gaze swept across the large bed.
The woman was sleeping soundly on her side, her face fair and rosy, her brow relaxed, suggesting she was in a pleasant mood.
He went to the dressing room, got a new set of pajamas, changed into them, and then turned off the lights. He leaned over and gently embraced the sleeping woman, lowering his head to kiss her forehead.
I had a good night's sleep.
…
The next day, Qi Mingxuan and Han Mingyu set aside the entire morning and went shopping together.
Qi Mingxuan bought some maternity clothes, and then dragged Han Mingyu to look at baby clothes.
It was Han Mingyu's first time in a place like this, and he found everything fascinating.
"This hat isn't even as big as my palm." He held up a baby woolen hat, gesturing in his hand, finding it incredibly novel.
Are newborn babies really that small? Aren't they about the size of chicks?
"..." Qi Mingxuan glared at him, "Watch your mouth, this is prenatal education."
Han Mingyu gently touched her slightly protruding belly and coaxed her softly, "Don't be angry, honey. Daddy was saying that other people's children are like little chicks, but my daughter is a little angel, a sweetheart, and a precious darling!"
"..."
Qi Mingxuan felt that since she became pregnant with her second child, Han Mingyu, the soon-to-be father, had completely lost his mind. Every time the topic of children came up, he was like a playful big kid who wanted to know everything. While learning, he would also make all sorts of creative complaints. He would research anything related to newborns, comparing this and that. He could study a baby bottle for several days.
She's really dedicated, but her mouth is just too sharp; she often says things that are surprising.
Qi Mingxuan is very worried about prenatal education, fearing that she might give birth to a miniature version of Han Mingyu.
If she really inherited Han Mingyu's bad temper... then Qi Mingxuan felt that she probably wouldn't be able to be a loving mother.
As for Han Mingyu, although this is his second time becoming a father, he had no idea that Qi Yue was there at the time. He missed his first experience as a father-to-be, and he wants to make up for it with this pregnancy!
In particular, he had a strong feeling that this pregnancy was definitely going to be a girl!
So when he chooses baby products, he always picks pink.
Qi Mingxuan reminded him, "You always pick pink. What will you do if the baby is a boy?"
"No, it's my daughter!" Han Mingyu said with absolute certainty. "You believe me, I'm the one who sowed the seed, I know best!"
Qi Mingxuan: "..."
Qi Mingxuan was too lazy to argue with him and chose neutral colors for herself.
Actually, it's not difficult for them to find out the baby's gender if they want to.
But she and Han Mingyu both felt that it would be more interesting to let nature take its course and find out when the baby was born.
After buying baby supplies, Qi Mingxuan suddenly wanted to drink some juice.
Han Mingyu took her to the fresh juice shop downstairs to buy some.
While the process was being completed, Han Mingyu's phone rang.
He took it out and looked at it, his expression changing slightly.
The juice was ready, and Qi Mingxuan let go of his hand and went to get it.
Han Mingyu hung up the phone and added the number to his blacklist.
Qi Mingxuan took the juice and turned around, just in time to see him put his phone into his pocket.
She walked over to him, looked at him, and asked, "Whose call was that?"
"It was Guan Shuo calling," Han Mingyu said calmly. "There's been a problem with the overseas project, so I sent him over to handle it."
“Overseas?” Qi Mingxuan frowned. “Overseas partners are usually quite rigid. Don’t they generally only communicate with the person in charge? Can Guan Shuo handle it?”
"It should be fine." Han Mingyu put his arm around her waist. "Don't worry, Guan Shuo has been with me for many years, so this is a good opportunity for him to gain some experience."
Hearing this, Qi Mingxuan agreed, "That's right, Guan Shuo is good. If you can train him to be independent, your life will be much easier. But is this his first time handling an overseas project independently?"
"Um."
"Then you should still pay more attention. If you're really worried, you should go there yourself."
"Okay, let Guan Shuo try it first. I'll call the overseas manager myself later to explain that my wife is pregnant and I have to be with her. I believe they will understand."
"I'm still several months pregnant. Are you really going to stay by my side every minute of the next few months?" Qi Mingxuan smiled helplessly. "I'm not that delicate. Besides, I'm in my second trimester now and I'm doing quite well. You don't need to be so careful."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Han Mingyu pinched her rosy cheek. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Let's go eat Cantonese food," Qi Mingxuan muttered to herself. "I've been really into Cantonese food lately."
"good."
...
Han Mingyu took Qi Mingxuan to a newly opened private Cantonese restaurant in the city center.
The chef team at this private Cantonese restaurant comes from Hong Kong. To ensure the quality and taste of the dishes, the quantity of each dish is limited every day. Therefore, the restaurant adopts a VIP system, and only those with the restaurant's VIP card will be served.
The two encountered Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan at the restaurant entrance.
Both sides were quite surprised.
We happened to run into each other, so we had a meal together.
Inside the private room, Shen Qingshu and Qi Mingxuan sat next to each other.
Han Mingyu and Fu Siyan each sat next to their respective women.
Qi Mingxuan wore a beige dress today, with a long, lotus-colored wool coat over it.
The skirt is loose and doesn't show the belly.
Now that she's sat down, Shen Qingshu couldn't help but reach out and touch her belly. "Have you felt any baby movement lately?"
Qi Mingxuan chuckled softly, "Yes, I love to move around a lot before bed every night."
Shen Qingshu looked at her; her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were filled with an unconscious tenderness.
It is very different from before.
This is probably the power of life.
An unexpected baby saved Qi Mingxuan and Han Mingyu's precarious marriage.
At the same time, it also redeemed Qi Mingxuan's withered and hopeless soul.
Seeing that Qi Mingxuan is doing well now, Shen Qingshu is relieved.
...
Fu Siyan and Han Mingyu, former rivals in love, both went through the process of pursuing their wives. Now that they sat down to eat together, they were able to chat about everyday things in a calm and peaceful manner.
The conversation turned to children.
Fu Siyan said, "Raising daughters is more troublesome, but daughters are really much warmer than sons. Xiao Anning and Niannian are very close to me now. Every day when I get home from work, the two of them will stick to me immediately. Niannian is older now and has started to have burdens. Recently, she only calls me by single words."
"Don't think I can't tell you're bragging about having two daughters!" Han Mingyu sneered. "Your Niannian is also my goddaughter, and the one my Xiaoxuan is carrying is my biological daughter. So, I also have two daughters, Fu Siyan, we're the same!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Qi Mingxuan: "You know the gender of the second child?"
Qi Mingxuan shook her head, "I didn't specifically look for it, I'll just let nature take its course and wait for the lottery results."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan looked at Han Mingyu and said, "If it hasn't been born yet, then it doesn't count."
"..." Han Mingyu exclaimed angrily, "My intuition tells me it's my daughter!"
Fu Siyan smiled faintly, "If intuition is accurate, what's the point of having ultrasound technicians?"
Han Mingyu: "..."
He choked for a moment, then, unable to contain his anger, nodded and laughed in exasperation: "Is this how you want to talk, Mr. Fu? Then I also have something I'd like to ask you, Mr. Fu: have you remarried?"
Fu Siyan: "..."
"Oh, this reaction..." Han Mingyu raised an eyebrow, "President Fu hasn't gotten a formal title yet, has he?"
Fu Siyan coughed lightly and turned to look at Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu was chatting with Qi Mingxuan and didn't pay any attention to what the two grown men were talking about.
Han Mingyu gloated, "It seems President Fu still needs to work harder. These days, a man can't get by without a title! Sigh, it seems President Shen still has some reservations, otherwise why hasn't he remarried you after so long?"
Fu Siyan: "..."
Over there, Shen Qingshu suddenly said, "By the way, on the eighth day of next month, you and your husband should come to Lijiang Villa together."
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu and Fu Siyan both looked over.
Qi Mingxuan asked curiously, "Is there some good news?"
Shen Qingshu glanced at Fu Siyan, her pink lips curving slightly: "That day was Fu Siyan's birthday, so I thought I'd have a simple birthday party for him, without inviting outsiders, just a few of us close relatives and friends, and the kids, to cut a piece of cake and have some fun together."
Fu Siyan stared blankly at Shen Qingshu.
Because of his family background, he never celebrates his birthday.
So when Shen Qingshu said she wanted to celebrate his birthday, he was very surprised, and beyond the surprise, he was deeply moved.
"Okay, we'll definitely be there." Qi Mingxuan looked at Fu Siyan and smiled, "President Fu, it feels sweet to be remembered, doesn't it?"
Fu Siyan's thin lips curved slightly as he glanced at Han Mingyu. "Yes, our Ah Shu has always been considerate of people."
Han Mingyu: "..."
Damn it, we've lost another round!
...
After finishing their meal, the four parted ways.
Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu returned to Huanxing together.
On the way, Shen Qingshu couldn't help but sigh, "After all that fuss between them before, I thought they were really going to break up. But I never expected that an unexpected little life would change their lives."
“Han Mingyu has indeed changed a lot.” Fu Siyan held the steering wheel with one hand and Shen Qingshu’s hand with the other, gently playing with her soft fingers. “But the good life he has today is all thanks to Qi Mingxuan’s willingness to make it happen.”
Shen Qingshu paused, turned her head to look at him, and said, "I feel like there's a deeper meaning to what you just said."
Fu Siyan pursed his lips and sighed softly, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
