Because of important company matters that kept him busy, Gu Yibei, who had been leaving get off work promptly at 4 p.m. every day since his wife became pregnant, didn't get home until after 9 p.m.
When they arrived at the room, Ji Zhinan was indeed already asleep.
Since becoming pregnant, she has become very lazy, and she goes to sleep as soon as she finishes dinner.
She tiptoed into the room, grabbed her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When I came out, I saw that the little girl who was sleeping had woken up.
"Why are you awake?" Gu Yibei asked gently.
"I'm awake." Ji Zhinan rubbed his eyes, still feeling groggy.
Gu Yibei went around to her side, picked up the thermos flask on the bedside table, and poured a cup of hot water.
I heard that drinking more hot water can relieve early vomiting, so Ji Zhinan drinks some every day.
Gu Yibei handed the cup to her only after confirming that the water temperature wouldn't be too hot.
Just then, Ji Zhinan was also thirsty, so he took the water glass and took a sip.
Gu Yibei knelt on one knee by the bed, lifted the thin blanket covering her, and touched her belly through her pajamas, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
"It has grown up."
At some point, touching Ji Zhinan's belly and interacting with the little one inside before bed became Gu Yibei's daily routine.
For the first two months, the baby was still very small, and Ji Zhinan's lower abdomen was flat and nothing could be seen. Now, almost three months later, Ji Zhinan's belly has started to show some undulations.
Looking down at the man who was pressing his ear against her stomach to listen to her voice, Ji Zhinan smiled and listened to his murmurs.
When will the baby start to move?
Is it a boy or a girl?
Ji Zhinan stroked his fluffy short hair and asked, "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
"Daughter," the man answered without hesitation.
"My biggest regret is not being there for you during your childhood. If we had a daughter, I could make it up to her."
Ji Zhinan chuckled: "Compensate for my regrets with your daughter? That would be too unfair to me."
The man looked up at her earnestly and said, "Our daughter is your child, and in my heart you are one."
When his precious daughter was mentioned, the man became much more talkative than usual. Touching Ji Zhinan's belly, he said seriously, "Little one, when you are born, Daddy will buy you all the princess dresses in the capital. Daddy built an amusement park for Mommy, so you will have one too. Whatever your mother has, my little princess will have one too."
Ji Zhinan couldn't help but chuckle: "What if it's a son?"
"..."
The man, who had been chatting away, suddenly fell silent. He looked up at Ji Zhinan intently.
Ji Zhinan wanted to tease him: "What if it's a son? Will there still be princess dresses and amusement parks?"
"Nan Nan," he called to her.
"Um?"
"If I lost my son, would you have a daughter with me to ease your grief?"
"???"
Gu Yibei pressed himself against Ji Zhinan's stomach again, no longer acting like a loving father, and muttered to himself.
"Little one, Daddy loves you so much, you can't lie to your daddy's feelings, understand?"
Ji Zhinan: "..."
After grumbling to the child for a while, Young Master Gu began to instruct the child's mother again: "Nannan, you must be fertile and give me a daughter."
Ji Zhinan: "..."
Gu Yibei, who was quite tired after a busy day, instantly perked up when he heard Ji Zhinan say, "What if it's a son?" He stared intently at her belly, afraid that a "male" would suddenly appear and steal his wife away.
