That night, Ni Tianzhen couldn't sleep even more than the night before.
She got along very well with Xiao Le, but she was worried that because she was pregnant, that woman would have a better chance of taking Xiao Le away from her. She felt uneasy no matter how she thought about it.
"Still thinking about Xiao Le?" Liang Xiujie put down his book, reached out and took her hand, which was lying flat on the quilt, and said calmly, "You really don't need to worry too much about this. Even if there is a lawsuit, the judge will take into account that she has not been in contact with the child for the past few years and has become estranged. It is impossible for her to be awarded the contract. Besides, have you forgotten what I do?"
Ni Tianzhen looked at him. She had almost forgotten that he was a prosecutor who dealt with judges the most on a daily basis, and going to the court was like going into his own home.
"Mmm." She felt a little relieved, turned to face him, and smiled.
Liang Xiujie looked at the dimples that were faintly visible at the corners of her mouth, and his heart was stirred. He simply leaned in and kissed her lips.
Ni Tianzhen was slightly taken aback when his hand had already slipped inside her clothes and grasped a soft spot.
She was still not used to his sudden enthusiasm. In the past, even when they were going to do it, he would be very gentle and methodical, first kissing her cheeks and neck carefully before taking off her clothes.
But this time, he didn't even take off her nightgown, and immediately lifted it up, looking rather eager. This wasn't like him at all. Was his ex-wife's return disturbing his peace of mind?
"Wait, wait a minute." Ni Tianzhen grabbed the hand that was about to pull off her panties.
Liang Xiujie lifted his head from her neck, his dark eyes, tinged with rage, looking at her.
"I'm still feeling a bit unwell." The doctor had told her that she needed to stop having sex for about a month.
The desire in Liang Xiujie's eyes vanished, replaced by concern: "Didn't you say your stomach was fine, and the doctor didn't even prescribe any medicine? Is there something else that's bothering you?"
Ni Tianzhen originally intended to keep the pregnancy a secret for the time being, pretending that she didn't know, so that the judge wouldn't find out either. She planned to tell him after resolving the lawsuit filed by his ex-wife against Xiao Le.
Now that she thinks about it, she feels that if she keeps it a secret, it might become a tool for the other party to use against them. She's not smart enough to hold him back, so it's better to tell him.
Having made up his mind, Ni Tianzhen said, "My previous statement about taking a two-week leave of absence was not because of her."
Liang Xiujie's romantic thoughts vanished completely. He sat up, frowned, and looked at her with concern, asking, "Is it a serious illness?"
Ni Tianzhen smiled, shook her head, took his wrist, and placed it on her stomach.
"I didn't go for a gastroscopy today, I went for a pregnancy checkup." She noticed his slightly surprised expression, but didn't seem to mind, and continued, "I'm nine weeks along."
Liang Xiujie placed his large hand on her flat stomach, listened to her words, and remained silent for a long time.
Ni Tianzhen became a little nervous and asked cautiously, "Don't you like it?"
Liang Xiujie's lips suddenly curled up, and his eyes filled with a smile. How could he not like it? Who wouldn't like having more children, especially children born to such a gentle and lovely wife?
Seeing him smile, Ni Tianzhen relaxed, but then became worried: "The doctor said my pregnancy is somewhat risky and I need to rest in bed, so I can't be too happy yet. Maybe this baby won't..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The baby will definitely be born, it will definitely be born." Liang Xiujie interrupted her wild thoughts.
