Chapter 48: Doesn’t my wife still want to give me and the baby a name?
Shang Youqing propped himself up on the bed and sat up. Looking at his almost weird expression of serious concentration, he raised his hand and waved it at his face, "Are you stupid?"
As soon as the words fell, He Cong suddenly hugged her waist gently, buried his face in her belly through a layer of cotton pajamas, and his palms were dry and warm. He carefully stroked around her white, thin waist and abdomen, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. His voice became lower and softer, "Wife, do you think the baby can hear me?"
Before Shang Youqing could react, He Cong gently opened the hem of her pajamas with his lips, and kissed her abdomen lightly, stroking it with his slender fingers. He asked himself, "It's only been two months, so it shouldn't be yet."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but hold Shang Youqing's waist and sucked on her abdomen over and over again.
It was not until Shang Youqing's hand pressed down on his head and lifted up the scruff of his neck that He Cong had to stop slightly and was forced to raise his head to meet Shang Youqing's furrowed brows.
"What are you talking about?"
He Cong seemed to have just remembered something. He took out the precious medical examination report that he had just carefully folded and put into his suit pocket. He was afraid of damaging the paper, so he slowly unfolded it.
Shang Youqing didn't have the patience to wait for him, so he just snatched it away and opened it to read.
There was no expression on her face at first, until her eyes slowly moved to the end and saw the shape of the small gestational sac clearly displayed on it, and her fingertips holding the examination report tightened slightly.
He Cong was still completely immersed in unspeakable joy. He couldn't help but lift his wife up and hold her on his lap. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her over and over again, saying in a low voice, "Wife, I'm so happy."
He didn't notice that Shang Youqing lowered his eyelashes and looked at the abdomen that had been kissed by He Cong, and his eyes clearly felt a little troubled and at a loss.
The arrival of this child was untimely and beyond her plans.
For a moment, Shang Youqing was completely unprepared to deal with it.
He Cong held her, rubbed her, hugged her and kissed her for a long time. Finally, he realized what was going on and raised his head from his pajamas which were messed up by him.
He looked at Shang Youqing, who looked normal but silent. He hesitated and tightened his hand that was stroking her waist. He stared at Shang Youqing with dark eyes, restraining his emotions and asked cautiously.
"Wife... don't you want a baby?"
Shang Youqingleng came back to his senses suddenly and met He Cong's gaze. He looked so suppressed and nervous, as if if she nodded and said "I don't want it", He Cong would immediately shed tears and then he would have to suppress his sadness and tell her that it was okay.
Shang Youqing looked at him quietly for a moment, and somehow the words on the tip of his tongue changed, "No."
He Cong breathed a sigh of relief, then asked worriedly, "Did I hurt you just now?"
"No, I was just a little surprised."
Shang Youqing calmed down and thought, forget it, although it was beyond her plan, it was her own offspring after all.
It’s not impossible to bring the baby back to Wutong Mountain to accompany her after the birth.
At this moment, He Cong suddenly carried her back to the bed, got up and took out the relevant documents from their backpacks, returned to the bed and said to her, "Wife, let's go get the certificate now."
Shang Youqing was stunned for a moment, then held him down and said, "It's not the time yet."
"I promised my wife that I would sit in that position for her, but this does not conflict with my desire to marry her. I just want to call her my wife openly, and -"
He Cong's eyes fell on her belly again, "We already have a baby, so why doesn't my wife want to give me and the baby a name?"
Shang Youqing's cheeks flushed inexplicably from his constant calling of "wife" and "baby," but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Of course I want to marry you, but the situation in the He family is changing rapidly. Can we wait until your position in the He family is stable before we get married?"
He Cong tightly grasped Shang Youqing's wrist, his eyes dark and sharp, as if he became more determined because of Shang Youqing's words.
At this moment, He Cong's cell phone suddenly rang.
He Cong answered the call directly, and the next second Secretary Gao's urgent voice came from the phone -
"Master He, please come to Bindao Central Hospital as soon as possible. Mr. He fell down the stairs while attending the Chamber of Commerce meeting today and is now in the emergency room!"
Shang Youqing and He Cong's faces changed after hearing this. After hanging up the phone, Shang Youqing helped him straighten his shirt and tie and hid the pistol in the lining of his coat. "Go to the hospital immediately and let Uncle Yu follow you."
"Wife—"
Shang Youqing interrupted him: "I can take care of myself, go quickly."
He Cong also knew clearly that now was not the time to be indecisive. He had to stay by his grandfather's side no matter what. Therefore, after only a second or two of silence, He Cong couldn't help but hug Shang Youqing and kissed her lips, "Wife, wait for me to come back."
"Um."
He Cong rushed to the hospital overnight, and Shang Youqing was not idle either. She immediately made several phone calls and sent people to keep an eye on the movements of He Qizhou and He Cong's two uncles.
For the next three months, the news from the hospital was kept secret and no news came out.
Until suddenly one day, several uncles of the He family who were in high positions of power were successively brought down and investigated. The younger generations who were originally valued as much as He Cong were either exposed in huge scandals by the Bindao media or were suddenly sent abroad for further studies overnight.
The entire upper class circle of Bindao was in a panic, and there were rumors that the old man of the He family had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was hanging on by a thread. Now that such a major turmoil had occurred, it was feared that power would soon change hands.
And on this day, Uncle Yu brought his men over and took Shang Youqing to a new residence, Yanyuan.
He Cong had probably planned for this a long time in advance, and when Shang Youqing moved in, Yanyuan already had everything.
He Cong also arranged a housekeeper, servants, and a professional family doctor, obviously wanting her to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy.
Shang Youqing learned from Uncle Yu that Grandpa He had been in a coma for a long time and finally woke up for half a day two days ago. Perhaps knowing that he did not have much time left, Grandpa He summoned all the members of the He family that day, and asked the legal team to announce the contents of the will in front of the entire family, and formally handed the family seal to He Cong.
It’s just because some things have not been completed, so He Cong cannot return to Yanyuan for the time being.
When Shang Youqing heard that He Cong had officially inherited the position of head of the family, his heart finally relaxed a little.
She warned Uncle Yu: "Although He Cong has become the new head of the He family, it also means that he has become the target of public criticism. His foundation is unstable now, and the He family will inevitably become more turbulent. Uncle Yu, you must keep an eye on him."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I will be extremely cautious."
Shang Youqing was stunned when she heard the title. Before she could adapt, Butler Chen and the others were also smart. They were waiting by the side and heard Uncle Yu calling her like that. After Uncle Yu left, they also started calling her Madam without changing their expressions.
Shang Youqing was too lazy to correct her, as she would be leaving here soon anyway.
She has become less and less active recently, always lazily lying in the courtyard in the middle of the lake to take care of her pregnancy.
When He Cong came back that day, housekeeper Chen had just brought several planning plans for the west side of the manor to her for review. Shang Youqing didn't look at them carefully, but just pointed to one plan at random.
It's not that she was deliberately perfunctory. After all, she might not be here when the renovation is completed.
"Your wife doesn't like it?"
Shang Youqing's fingertips supporting her cheek stiffened slightly. She clearly felt a familiar breath approaching from behind her, and a warm palm sliding down her shoulder.
Shang Youqing raised his head and saw He Cong's handsome and calm face. Before he could say anything, his body was carefully lifted up by He Cong.
