Chapter 357: Baby's fetal movement, the father's reaction is hilarious
"What happened again? Who offended you again?"
Xiao Xue Zheng was somewhat bewildered by her sudden embrace. He put down the towel in his hand, hugged her back awkwardly, and patted her back gently.
"Why are you crying again? Are you feeling unwell?" His voice was filled with tension and worry.
Shi Runrun shook her head in his arms, buried her face in his strong and warm chest, and spoke in a muffled voice.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just... think you're stupid."
"Why am I stupid?" The man looked puzzled.
Shi Runrun raised her head from his arms, her watery eyes red, like a little rabbit that had been wronged.
She pointed to the still-lit phone screen on the bedside table.
"Did you see everything?" Xiao Xue Zheng looked in the direction she pointed and understood instantly. A suspicious blush appeared on his handsome face and his ears felt a little hot.
He coughed lightly and turned his face away uncomfortably, but his words remained firm.
"I'm just making some preparations in advance, just in case."
"Do we need to buy a hospital just to be prepared?" Shi Runrun was amused by his specious reasoning. Before her tears had dried, she burst into laughter again. "Mr. Xiao, do you feel that your family has too much money and has nowhere to spend it?"
"If I don't spend my money on you and my daughter, who should I spend it on?" The man said as a matter of course. He turned around, hugged her again, and pinched the tip of her nose. "Okay, don't think about these messed up things. Go take a shower quickly, the water is almost cold."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, Shi Runrun realized that her emotions seemed to be fluctuating greatly.
After becoming pregnant, she became extremely sensitive and tearful.
Even the smallest thing can move her to tears.
She sniffed and rubbed against his arms, as if she was acting coquettishly.
"Carry me there."
"Okay, I'll carry you there." The man smiled dotingly, picked her up effortlessly and walked towards the bathroom.
In the misty water vapor, the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
…
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Shi Runrun leaned in Xiao Xuezheng's arms, already feeling a little sleepy.
The man was holding a thick financial magazine and flipping through it casually.
The room was very quiet, and the only sound was the sound of each other's steady breathing.
Just when Shi Runrun was about to fall asleep, her stomach suddenly moved slightly.
The feeling was wonderful, like a little fish gently blowing a bubble in her belly.
Shi Runrun's sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She opened her eyes suddenly and her whole body froze.
Is this... fetal movement?
She was a little unsure, so she held her breath and placed her hand gently on her lower abdomen, feeling it without moving.
After more than ten seconds, that wonderful feeling came again.
This time, it was clearer than before.
"It's moving! It's moving!" Shi Runrun excitedly grabbed the man's arm beside her, her voice filled with surprise and disbelief, "Xiao Xuezheng! The baby's moving!"
The man was startled by her sudden action. He dropped the magazine in his hand and sat up nervously.
"What's wrong? What's moving? Is she going to give birth?" He looked panicked, completely losing his usual calmness and composure.
Shi Runrun looked at his nervous expression and felt both angry and amused.
"It's not the birth! It's the fetal movement! The baby is kicking me!" She grabbed his big, bony hand and pressed it against her belly without saying anything. "Feel it!"
Xiao Xuezheng's body stiffened instantly.
He didn't dare move his big hand that was covering her lower abdomen, and even subconsciously held his breath.
His expression was focused and pious, as if he was waiting for a miracle to happen.
Shi Runrun looked at him like this, feeling both expectant and amused.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After a full minute, the little guy in my belly seemed to be shy and there was no movement.
"Why aren't you moving?" Xiao Xue Zheng frowned and asked with some disappointment.
"Maybe... maybe the baby fell asleep." Shi Runrun was also a little uncertain.
The man didn't believe it, so he leaned over and carefully put his ear against her belly, as if he was listening to some secret information.
"Hey, little princess, move a little more for daddy to see?" He whispered to her belly in a tone full of bewitching.
But the little guy in my belly still didn't give me any face, and was quiet and unresponsive.
Xiao Xuezheng's face showed obvious frustration.
He sat up straight and looked at Shi Runrun, his eyes seeming to be accusing the disobedient little one in her belly.
Shi Runrun couldn't help laughing when he looked at her.
"Okay, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to feel it in the future," she comforted.
But just as she finished her words, the little guy in her belly, as if he understood what she said, suddenly kicked her hard again.
The force was greater than any time before.
And Xiao Xue Zheng's hand, which was still on her belly, felt it firmly.
The man's body shook violently.
His entire body seemed to have been paused, frozen there motionless, his deep black eyes widened as wide as copper bells, filled with shock, disbelief, and an indescribable ecstasy.
"Move...move..." He stammered, his voice trembling.
"Yeah, it moved." Shi Runrun looked at his silly look and smiled with curved eyebrows.
The man seemed to have not yet recovered from the huge surprise. He lowered his head, looked at his hands, and then looked at Shi Runrun's belly, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
After a long time, he finally took the next step.
He suddenly threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed, and paced back and forth in the room barefoot, muttering to himself.
"No, I have to do something..."
"Yes, call!"
As he spoke, he rushed to the bedside table and picked up his cell phone, his movements as fast as the wind.
Shi Runrun thought he was going to call Sister Li or the doctor to share his joy.
But unexpectedly, he actually called Qin Feng directly.
The call was connected quickly.
"Hey, Qin Feng!" Xiao Xuezheng's voice was loud and excited, completely lacking his usual calmness. "Right now! Immediately! Cancel all my meetings and schedules tomorrow! Yes, all of them! Even the biggest ones, no matter how big they are, can be turned down!"
Qin Feng on the other end of the phone was obviously confused by his sudden order.
"Sir, but tomorrow morning, you have a very important video conference with the European region about..."
"I don't care what kind of meeting you're having!" Xiao Xuezheng interrupted him rudely, "I said cancel it, so cancel it! Don't you understand?!"
He paused, then, in a tone that left no room for doubt, announced great news. He shouted into the line, "And more! Contact them immediately! Get the world's top pediatricians, nutritionists, and early childhood education experts here for me! I need an emergency video conference with them tomorrow morning at nine!"
"The topic of the meeting is—my daughter just kicked me! We need to immediately develop a brand new, comprehensive growth and education plan for her, starting from now until she turns eighteen!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Qin Feng's reaction, he hung up the phone.
Then he turned around and looked at Shi Runrun, who was almost dying of laughter on the bed, with a look of smugness and pride on his face.
"See? This is my daughter, Xiao Xuezheng. She's so energetic even before she was born! She'll definitely be someone who does great things in the future!"
Shi Runrun held her stomach and laughed so hard that tears came out.
This man...
He is really a hopeless...daughter slave.
