After a pause, Mu Nanxun gently kissed Yi Yi's forehead and said, "I know you're not human, but I still fell hopelessly in love with you, married you, and had children with you."
“This is different. When you fell in love with me, my true form disappeared. The me you saw was no different from a normal human being. So the one you fell in love with was not the real me.”
Yi Yi hated the way she was acting so unreasonable, but she just couldn't help it.
Mu Nanxun chuckled, then became serious and earnest. "You're acting like you're suffering from prenatal depression. You're always thinking the worst. Starting tomorrow, I'll take you out to eat, drink, and have fun to improve your mood. Don't stay cooped up at home all the time."
"No, I'm not going. I'm not interested in anything right now."
Yi Yi's appearance made Mu Nanxun secretly worried.
In fact, he had noticed that Yi Yi's mood fluctuated greatly after she became pregnant. He consulted Ouyang about it and also looked up information. It was the first time in his life that he learned about the professional term "prenatal depression".
Ouyang told him that there's no good treatment for prenatal depression; the only thing to do is to show more care and concern and improve the other person's mood. Looking at Yi Yi now, it seems she really does have prenatal depression.
Mu Nanxun thought for a moment, and decided that rather than letting Yi Yi make such boundless suspicions, it would be better to let her see with her own eyes whether the baby in her belly was healthy, so that she could be at ease.
"I'll arrange for someone to come to your house tomorrow to give you a check-up."
Do you think I'm sick?
"No, you might not know, but our medical technology is so advanced here that we can see inside your belly even through it. Aren't you worried that there might be something wrong with the baby? Well, let's get it checked out, and we can also meet the baby in your belly beforehand to see if he looks more like you or me."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yi's mood finally improved. She propped herself up and leaned against Mu Nanxun, her eyes filled with both anticipation and nervousness.
"Mumu, are you serious? Can we really see what the baby in my belly looks like?"
Yi Yi had been to human hospitals a few times and vaguely knew that humans had an instrument called ultrasound, which could indeed see through the skin to see what was inside.
Why didn't she think of this sooner!
Mu Nanxun nodded in response, "Really. But you have to promise me that if tomorrow's checkup shows our child is healthy, you won't overthink things anymore, and you won't cry alone by yourself."
"Okay, I promise you. As long as I know the baby is healthy and normal, I won't be sad anymore, hehe."
Yi Yi finally smiled, tears still glistening on her long eyelashes.
Mu Nanxun gently pulled Yi Yi into his arms and placed a deep kiss on her forehead.
If he had known that Yi Yi would have so many worries and be so unhappy after becoming pregnant, he would have preferred not to have children and just spend his life with her.
...
A private doctor was quickly brought in, and all the examination equipment was moved to the villa so that the doctor could examine Yi Yi again in the future.
Lying in bed, Yi Yi saw the tiny life inside her for the first time on the monitor. Beside her sat Mu Nanxun, holding her hand, his eyes also glued to the screen, looking no more relaxed than Yi Yi.
Because of the amniotic fluid, the baby's appearance is not very clear; only a general outline can be seen.
