Chapter 233 Jealousy and rivalry
"It's okay, the baby kicked me."
She spoke with a gentle smile, her eyes filled with love as she said it.
She seemed to carry a sense of helplessness and doting towards her child, her expression gentle, no longer the somewhat boisterous person she used to be.
It's like growing up overnight. Is this a change in identity or a change in mindset?
She has become even more charming.
It seems that ever since she had a child, she has already entered the role and is trying to be a qualified mother.
I want to give my child the best of everything.
He looked down at his protruding belly and wondered if he really loved him that much.
She was willing to fabricate so many lies for such a man, and even fled to a foreign country more than 10,000 kilometers away, just to secretly give birth to this child.
But once the words are on the tip of my tongue, I can never actually ask them.
Because he knew that Lu Wanxing might never be able to answer this question for him.
And the answer might not be what you want to hear.
Concealing the surging love in her eyes, it eventually became deep and still, like the sea at night, unfathomable and calm.
Instead, he looked somewhat nervous. His mind was racing, and he didn't dare to blink before he suddenly spoke softly.
"Can I touch her?"
His tone was tentative and somewhat nervous, though he didn't know why he was nervous.
"certainly."
Seeing his seemingly curious expression, Lu Wanxing asked him to place his hands on her stomach.
I could clearly see that I had been kicked in the stomach again.
The kick was quite forceful, and she let out another soft cry of pain.
"Baby's awake, right? Stretching?"
She talked to the baby in her belly, her tone softer than ever before, as if she were afraid of scaring the child.
"This is your Uncle Li. Say hello to him."
Li Chengzhou felt as if his palm had been kicked by something again.
The movement was very light, but it felt very heavy to Lu Wanxing.
While he was surprised, he heard Lu Wanxing's cry of pain, and she seemed to be blaming the baby in her womb, after all, she was so inconsiderate and had hurt her mother.
But Lu Wanxing seemed to be enjoying it, and even spoke to her in a gentle voice, making her feel as if she had a lump in her throat.
"She just kicked me?"
"Yes, I guess he's awake."
Lu Wanxing chuckled.
She possesses a gentle quality, what people call the radiance of maternal love.
"That's amazing, but doesn't it hurt you when she kicks like that?"
"Fortunately, the baby is mostly well-behaved, but sometimes when I interact with her, she will stretch and yawn, which makes her seem quite active."
I don't know if it was because I felt particularly eager to share today, but Lu Wanxing told him some things about the baby.
The firm belly and the sensation of that foot made me marvel at the wonder of life, but also realize how difficult it is to be a mother.
From the time Lu Wanxing became pregnant until now, she seemed to have frequent mishaps, and it only got a little better later on.
When I first saw her, her stomach was still flat, so I didn't have much of a feeling about it.
But when I saw her again, her belly had grown quite large.
Although it wasn't huge yet, it was obvious at a glance that there was a baby in her belly.
I actually interacted with her just now.
He quickly withdrew his hand, afraid that he would lose his composure.
After all, it goes without saying whose child is in that belly.
The man knew nothing about this.
He even had the despicable thought that if that man never appeared, he would take his place and become the child's father.
"That's amazing, but you've worked hard too."
Li Chengzhou suppressed his barely controllable emotions.
He simply smiled, his demeanor as gentle and refined as ever.
Lu Wanxing simply shook her head and didn't say anything more.
After all, pregnancy is indeed tough in the later stages. You have to get up frequently at night, usually six or seven times before going to bed. Later on, you may also experience various cramps or difficulty moving around.
But Lu Wanxing had already made preparations.
So I didn't feel it was too hard.
The two ate lunch at the cafeteria, and then Lu Wanxing rested in the lounge for a while before going home with Li Chengzhou that evening.
Of course, although the two lived in the same house, they each had their own lives, and Li Chengzhou seemed to maintain a comfortable distance.
It didn't make Lu Wanxing feel uncomfortable, so she didn't think much of it and assumed that the other person had really figured it out.
That evening, Lu Wanxing received a video call from Han Xiulin in China.
Lu Wanxing found it strange; wasn't this person busy after going back?
However, I didn't answer his video call and sent him a message asking what was wrong.
The next second, Han Xiulin sent a message filled with sorrow.
"Xingxing, you're so heartless! I've been back in China for so long, and you don't even care about me?"
This man...
I've noticed it during this time, but this person isn't like Han Xiulin, who takes a more subtle approach. He goes straight to the point and offers all sorts of thoughtful care.
You can't refuse even if you want to.
She also frequently brings gifts for the child, even though the child is still in her belly.
But every time I went to her company, she was always busy.
It was no use for Lu Wanxing to refuse, since it was all one-sided on their part.
You don't need to respond.
Lu Wanxing didn't really understand why he did this.
After all, everyone knows who the father of the child in her belly is, but everyone seems to be indifferent and trying to get attention around her.
It's not that Lu Wanxing is narcissistic, it's just that she finds these people's thought processes a bit hard to understand.
Upon hearing Han Xiulin's voice, Lu Wanxing also sent a voice message.
"Aren't you busy? Then you must not like being disturbed."
Han Xiulin replied to the voice message instantly.
"If it's you, I don't mind being disturbed."
Lu Wanxing didn't react for a long time.
The person on the other end seemed to have guessed something since they couldn't get a reply from her.
He immediately sent another message.
"I'll be done soon, and I'll head over there as soon as possible."
Lu Wanxing didn't know how long she had been stunned. When her phone vibrated again, she realized she had received a message.
After hearing Han Xiulin's words, Lu Wanxing was a little stunned, but she still replied with a voice message.
“There’s no need to come over anymore. Now that Li Chengzhou is here, he can help with company matters, so I don’t go to the company much anymore.”
Lu Wanxing was unaware that after she finished speaking, the other end fell into a long silence.
Then he stopped replying to messages.
However, Han Xiulin clearly had no intention of giving up, and even felt a sense of crisis.
I wish I could finish my work right now and immediately go abroad to find Lu Wanxing.
