Chapter 63 Are you jealous?
That night, Heng Xing had finished showering and was lying in bed. Remembering that he had to go to the hospital the next day, he got up and went to the bathroom. He asked Yu Nianqing, who was taking a shower inside, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Nianqing: "What's wrong?"
He had just finished showering and was soaking wet. He was about to use a towel to dry himself when he stood in front of the mirror, looking at his lower abdomen from the side.
It's completely flat; you can't see anything there.
After all, it's only been five days, what can you possibly learn from that?
"What time is our appointment for tomorrow?" Hengxing opened the hospital's official website.
"Tomorrow morning?" Yu Nianqing replied softly.
He suddenly felt a little lost, but once tomorrow morning was over, everything would be as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Yu?" After a long silence from inside, Hengxing called out to him again.
Holding a bath towel and gently stroking her stomach to wipe away the water droplets, Yu Nianqing finally made up her mind.
He quickly put on his pajamas, walked out of the bathroom and said to Heng Xing, "Captain Heng, I don't want to go tomorrow."
Heng Xing was taken aback. "Why?"
She put the terminal away and pulled him to sit down on the edge of the bed.
“I’ve heard people say that if a baby is put into an ostomy uterus before it’s a month old, the baby won’t be close to its parents after it’s born,” he explained earnestly.
Heng Xing thought it was a bit pseudoscience, "No way."
"These are all experiences gained by our predecessors."
Seeing her disapproving expression, Yu Nianqing crawled into bed and pulled the blanket up to cover her face. "Captain Heng, this is our own child. We have no room for error."
“I know, but…”
Hengxing wanted to say a few more words, but seeing his insistence, she didn't press the matter further. "Then let's go to the hospital tomorrow and ask the doctor."
She checked the information on her terminal and found that it was okay to remove the fetus a few months later and culture it in the artificial uterus.
She also discovered that Yu Nianqing's statement was quite common online, so most people chose to let the fetus grow in the parents' body for more than a month.
She felt relieved and prepared to sleep. As soon as she lay down, a warm mass pressed against her side.
Yu Nianqing hugged her waist as usual and rested his head on her collarbone.
Heng Xing frowned slightly, gently pried his hands open, and laid him flat on the mattress. "Mr. Yu, things are different now than before. Be careful and don't move around like that anymore."
Yu Nianqing could tell from her tone that she was just as nervous as he was, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Captain Heng, what are you thinking about right now?"
Hengxing stared at the ceiling. "What am I thinking about?"
“Theoretically, I’ll be returning to the Frost Army in a week or two. If we register our marriage in those two weeks, we can get an extra month off. If you really want to wait a month before taking it off, you can do it during the last week of my leave. I’ll spend the remaining days with you while you recover. Maternity leave is for a month before and after the baby is born, and I can stay home with you then.”
Hearing her arrangements, Yu Nianqing smiled gently and, ignoring her earlier advice, leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
"Anything else? What else are you thinking about?" He rested his face against hers, looking down at her with tenderness in his eyes.
His smooth hair fell down to his face, making him feel a little itchy.
Hengxing: "I'm also thinking that the furniture in the new house needs to be changed."
"I didn't think about all this when I was choosing furniture. The edges and corners of the furniture are all too sharp."
Yu Nianqing: "Indeed, she would cry if she bumped into it."
As they were talking, he suddenly thought of something: "Captain Heng, do you think our child will be an Alpha or an Omega?"
Hengxing looked up at him gently, "I'm fine with anything, what about you?"
Yu Nianqing reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her face, saying with longing, "I hope to be an Omega."
Heng Xing laughed, "Why?"
"I can let her hair grow long, braid it into pretty braids, and dress her in cute little dresses."
The scene before him was still gloomy, but he seemed to see the child he had drawn running towards him.
Yu Nianqing lowered his head and placed another kiss on her forehead.
Hengxing looked up at him. In just one day, he seemed to have changed. His once alluring, upturned eyebrows now held a touch of softness and charm, making Hengxing's throat tighten.
After realizing what had happened, I immediately berated myself for being such a terrible person.
Yu Nianqing realized something, and her smile widened instead of fading. "Captain Heng, I'll help you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he disappeared into the bed, transforming into the captain of the ship.
The following morning, they returned to the hospital.
After receiving a positive answer from the doctor, Hengxing was completely relieved.
The couple decided to follow Hengxing's plan from the previous night.
Seeing that she had some free time, Yu Nianqing asked Heng Xing to have another blood test done.
After a casual lunch, they left the hospital with a large pile of nutritional supplements for pregnant women and took a flying vehicle to a furniture store to pick out new furniture.
During the journey, Hengxing's terminal suddenly vibrated, and Yu Nianqing watched curiously as she answered the call.
Hengxing: "Have you decided to award the medals next month?"
"...But I have my honeymoon next month."
On the other end of the terminal: "..."
...
"What's wrong?" Yu Nianqing asked as she put down her terminal.
"The emperor said I'm not allowed to take advantage of the holiday schedule, and I need to submit my marriage certificate within the next few days," Hengxing said helplessly.
Yu Nianqing was somewhat disappointed, but she could only accept reality.
Yu Nianqing: "Captain Heng, I feel that your relationship with His Majesty the Emperor is unusual."
Heng Xing responded, "Your Majesty, it's very special."
"In some ways, it is indeed quite approachable."
When the aircraft arrived at the furniture store, the villa's interior designer was already there waiting for them.
On the way here, Hengxing had already told him his needs.
The highly professional designer did his homework in a very short time, and as soon as everyone arrived, he immediately took them to the child-friendly area to look at furniture.
Changing furniture isn't difficult; it's simply a matter of replacing the furniture that was previously agreed upon with something similar in style, but made of safer and harmless materials.
As Hengxing was about to leave, his gaze was drawn to a wooden swing standing in the outdoor area, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
Her memory suddenly flashed back to more than 20 years ago, when she was a child, she also sat on a swing like this, swaying back and forth.
"Mr. Yu, let's put a swing in the yard," Heng Xing called out to Yu Nianqing.
Yu Nianqing: "Okay, what kind do you like?"
Hengxing: "This one will do."
Designer: "...The yard needs to house the aircraft and plant flowers, so there might not be enough space for a swing."
Heng Xing replied decisively, "We don't have any flying vehicles at home, so we can just leave it there."
Designer: "...Wouldn't it be too inconvenient without a flying vehicle? How about moving the swing to the rooftop terrace?"
Yu Nianqing: "It's too dangerous on the terrace. It would be troublesome if someone accidentally flew off. Let's put it where the aircraft is parked."
Designer: "Okay."
"Aren't you considering putting tables and chairs in the children's room?"
Yu Nianqing: "Just lay down a fluffy carpet and put in a few cabinets to store toys."
After leaving the furniture store, they had dinner at a restaurant next door.
Seeing Hengxing's pre-booked marriage application for tomorrow, Yu Nianqing suddenly realized a serious problem.
"Captain Heng, what are you going to wear tomorrow?"
Tomorrow they're taking wedding photos, but Hengxing only has a few outfits in her wardrobe that she wears repeatedly.
Hengxing paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go buy a new outfit later."
Seeing Hengxing, who was so frugal with his living conditions, take the initiative to buy clothes, Yu Nianqing nodded with satisfaction, a sweet feeling rising in her heart.
This shows that she, like herself, values wedding photos highly; in other words, she takes their marriage very seriously.
Upon entering the clothing store, Hengxing felt completely lost and handed the choice to Yu Nianqing, while she followed beside her and helped carry the bags.
Yu Nianqing picked out a light pink shirt for her. The shirt had a crisp cut and a beautiful silhouette. The color especially complemented her skin tone and eyes, making her look incredibly elegant.
Whether it's objective or emotional, he felt that Captain Heng was more handsome than those princes and princesses.
The sales assistant praised him enthusiastically: "Sir, you have excellent taste. This color makes you look especially young."
Hearing this, Yu Nianqing felt something was wrong.
He turned his head and saw Hengxing staring at him silently, as if he had something to say.
Once inside the fitting room, Hengxing slowly spoke: "So, you still think I'm too old."
He could only kiss her lips to comfort her, "How could that be? It's just that the sales assistant doesn't know how to talk."
Being able to accurately flatter someone to their point of no return requires a certain level of skill.
In the end, Hengxing chose to go to another store and buy a similar pink shirt.
The sales assistant at this store was very eloquent, constantly praising the two as a match made in heaven.
It sounds so pleasant and uplifting.
Seeing Yu Nianqing standing in a daze at the entrance of a baby supplies store, Hengxing pulled him inside to take a look.
Yu Nianqing looked at the cute little clothes inside and couldn't put down each one.
Hengxing wanted to put the clothes he liked into the shopping basket, but he refused.
Yu Nianqing: "The clothes have been stored for too long, which is not good for the child's health."
Hengxing: ?
She replied, "I'll do whatever you say. I'll buy it later."
It wasn't until evening that she finally realized that Yu Nianqing went shopping out of hobby, not because she had nothing to wear like she did.
He leaned against the bed, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the various baby products on the virtual screen, constantly refreshing it, adding the ones he liked to his favorites and crossing out the ones he didn't.
She sat down next to him, opened his daily nutritional supplement, and handed it to him.
Many of these nutritional supplements contain ancient medicinal herbs, and they all smell and taste bitter.
Watching him chug down bottle after bottle without blinking, Hengxing suddenly felt the greatness of his father's love.
For the sake of their child, the couple changed their bedtime to 10 p.m.
I turned off the light and was about to fall asleep when the person next to me snuggled up to me again.
Hengxing hugged him and kissed the tip of his nose without any lust. "Mr. Yu, I feel that only at this moment do you belong to me."
Yu Nianqing smiled and gently stroked her brow bone with her finger. "Are you jealous?"
Are you jealous of the baby?
"I'm not that childish."
Heng Xing's expression was a little unnatural.
Luckily the lights were off, otherwise they would have been discovered.
"Captain Heng, the child belongs to her."
A gentle voice reached her ears, like a soothing lullaby.
"I will always belong to you," he said earnestly. "Do you understand?"
Hengxing turned to hug him, trying to make him lie flat on the bed, her nose touching his ear, her nostrils filled with the cool but not pungent scent of mint.
"Um."
I slept without any dreams.
*
Both parties need to submit their identity documents when registering for marriage.
Yu Nianqing opened the terminal, but Heng Xing stopped her.
"I've arranged a new identity document for you." She took it out of her spatial storage and handed it to him. "This has nothing to do with the Yu family."
Hengxing knew that he deeply resented the Yu family.
Yu Nianqing recalled the identity document Heng Xing had shown her when they were in the underwater city.
"Was it done together with your partner?"
Hengxing: "No, it was specially arranged for you before I went to the orphanage last time. Mine was just something I did on the side."
"I was planning to give you a surprise today, but the underwater city was exposed."
Yu Nianqing was happy and wanted to kiss her, but he refrained from doing so because of the lipstick on his lips.
"I never expected to be exposed. Thank you, Captain Heng."
Heng Xing smoothed his hair. "You don't need to thank me."
Yu Nianqing's expression hardened. "I went to so much trouble to comb your hair, don't touch it!"
Hengxing pitifully lowered his hand, "But I feel a little uncomfortable."
Yu Nianqing quickly went to her side and re-tied her braids. "Bear with it, it will be ready in half an hour at most."
The cameraman directed the two to stand in the right position, and time was frozen, leaving a precious memory.
After she finished taking the photos, Yu Nianqing walked over to her and wanted to see them.
The photographer smiled and showed him the photos, saying, "They're very beautiful, a perfect match."
"Mr. Heng, Ms. Heng is a former soldier, isn't she?"
Yu Nianqing asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Based on my years of experience, people with such upright posture are generally like this," the photographer pointed out to him. "You two are the best-looking couple I've photographed this year."
Who wouldn't be happy to hear that?
Yu Nianqing couldn't help but smile and thanked him repeatedly.
Heng Xing stood to one side, a smile also on his face.
She was clicking around on the terminal, filling out a marriage leave application.
It was just a formality; no one in the entire Frost Army held a higher rank than her.
When she played Si Yun, she had a good relationship with another general.
When the two worked together last year, they got along well. Judging from his attitude, she suspected that the emperor had revealed something to him.
"Captain Heng, are you done?" After chatting with the photographer, Yu Nianqing walked back to Heng Xing's side.
Hengxing clicked "send".
"Have you finished looking at the photos?"
Yu Nianqing smiled and put her arm around hers. "It's alright, let's go home now."
"good."
