Chapter 79 Extra Chapter 1: Jiang Shunian Didn't Escape in the IF Scenario: Fu Yanli's Prenatal Anxiety
The baby's kicks weren't strong, but it was as if he was telling his two dads that he could already move in the womb.
Jiang Shunian was surprised. She touched her lower abdomen and called out to him, "Baby, can you move now? Try moving again."
Then the little one moved slightly again.
Jiang Shu let out a soft cry, a smile of happiness and brightness spreading across his face. He had a strange feeling, as if he had formed some kind of connection with the baby inside him.
"Baby is so smart." Jiang Shunian said gently. He looked up at Fu Yanli and then remembered that Fu Yanli seemed to have just confessed his feelings to him.
So, all his previous assurances that he had no ulterior motives towards him were just empty words?
Unexpectedly, Fu Yanli, who seems calm and reliable, is actually quite cunning.
However, Jiang Shunian had become completely accustomed to being with Fu Yanli during this time and had slowly fallen for him, especially since they were pregnant. Therefore, Jiang Shunian felt that she did not want to refuse him.
But Jiang Shunian didn't want to agree so readily, since Fu Yanli was taking things one step at a time, slowly boiling him like a frog in lukewarm water.
Jiang Shunian deliberately avoided looking into Fu Yanli's eyes, and instead lowered his head to ask the little one in his belly, "Baby, Daddy's asking you, do I want to be with this person in front of me? If you move once, it means yes; if you move twice, it means no; if you don't move at all, it also means no. Daddy will listen to you."
But the little one didn't move immediately, whether because it didn't understand or was thinking.
Fu Yanli was really nervous at this moment. He stared intently at Jiang Shunian's slightly protruding belly, afraid that the little one would reject him.
He couldn't just sit and wait for his fate. He reached out and gently covered her with his hand, saying softly, "Baby, hello. I am your dad, Fu Yanli. I love your father very much, and I love you too. I will protect you and take care of you in the future. So please, baby, let me be with your father, okay?"
Jiang Shunian found it amusing. Could Fu Yanli be so childish? The little one was only four months old; how could he possibly understand what they were saying?
But a miraculous thing happened: the moment Fu Yanli finished speaking, the little cub moved.
Whether it was a coincidence or he truly understood, Fu Yanli felt he had gained his child's approval and said excitedly, "Shunian, the baby agrees!"
That's great, he's risen to prominence because of his son.
Jiang Shunian was also a little surprised, but he kept his word and wouldn't renege on his promise: "Since you've agreed, I'll give you a chance, but you'll have a probationary period. Whether you become a permanent employee or not is up to me."
“No problem.” Fu Yanli grasped Jiang Shunian’s slender fingers, lowered his head and kissed them lightly, then made a further request, “Shunian, may I kiss your belly?”
He found Jiang Shunian to be very charming and pure at that moment, making him want to worship her and possess her.
However, Cheng Jingming said that Jiang Shunian is different from other pregnant women. There is no precedent for his pregnancy. In order to protect Jiang Shunian, Cheng Jingming suggested that they should not have sexual relations during the entire pregnancy.
Although Fu Yanli is suffering, he will definitely be able to endure it for the sake of his lover.
Jiang Shunian was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse, because Zai Zai seemed to like Fu Yanli very much as well.
With permission, Fu Yanli gently cupped his belly, lowered his head, and reverently placed a kiss on his slightly protruding abdomen.
Jiang Shunian's ear tips began to turn red, a little embarrassed.
That evening, the cunning Fu Yanli had already learned how to use the word "baby": "Baby, I want to sleep with your dad tonight, do you agree? If you agree, move."
Jiang Shunian was dumbfounded. How could someone be so cunning! Fortunately, the little one was smart and didn't move at all.
Fu Yanli was somewhat disappointed and could only leave dejectedly after reading a passage of English poetry to his son.
Jiang Shunian covered her mouth and chuckled.
That night, Jiang Shunian had a dream. He dreamt of an incredibly cute and beautiful baby who stretched out two white, tender arms like lotus roots to him, with a sweet smile on his face, calling him in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy!"
Jiang Shunian knew that this was his little cub, and it was indeed as cute as he had imagined.
He held the baby in his arms and heard himself call him "Nono".
When Jiang Shunian woke up the next day, the scene in her dream was still clear in her memory. She thought the name "Nuonuo" was very nice, so she said to Fu Yanli, "I have thought of a name. The nickname is Nuonuo, and the formal name is Jiang Yunnuo."
The little one inside her moved as if to say that he liked the name.
Fu Yanli also thought the name was good: "Okay, let's call her Nuonuo."
Nuonuo is a very quiet baby. As if he knows that Jiang Shunian went through a lot during his pregnancy, he doesn't move much. He only moves slightly when his two dads want to interact with him.
Jiang Shunian initially didn't really feel the pregnancy, but through these interactions, his feelings for Nuonuo grew stronger.
He had already begun to envision that once Nuonuo was born, he would raise Nuonuo well and give her all his love.
Cheng Jingming assembled a medical team to regularly examine Jiang Shunian's body and discuss surgical plans for a cesarean section.
Yes, Jiang Shunian has no birth canal, so a cesarean section is the only option. His body structure is different from that of women, so the surgery must be performed with extreme care.
During this period, Fu Yanli invested over 100 million yuan in Cheng Jingming's hospital, replacing all the equipment to maximize the success rate of surgeries.
Even so, as Jiang Shunian's belly grew bigger, Fu Yanli's anxiety became visibly apparent.
He began to experience insomnia, anxiety, and even nightmares.
Jiang Shunian didn't notice at first, after all, Fu Yanli was very good at disguising himself.
One evening, when Fu Yanli was applying pregnancy oil to him, Jiang Shunian unexpectedly noticed dark circles under his eyes. Upon closer inspection, she realized the problem: Fu Yanli looked much more haggard.
Under Jiang Shunian's persistent questioning, Fu Yanli finally admitted that he had been suffering from insomnia for the past few nights. He would get up and stand guard outside Jiang Shunian's door, afraid that Jiang Shunian might have some needs that he might miss.
Jiang Shunian reached out and stroked his face, feeling a pang of heartache: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I'll handle it." Fu Yanli held his hand and kissed it. "It was my fault. If I hadn't been so reckless that night, you might not have had to suffer like this."
Jiang Shunian quickly withdrew her hand and covered her stomach, as if afraid the baby would hear: "Nuonuo is a gift from God. If you don't like him, I'll raise him myself."
"How could that be?" Fu Yanli also placed his hand on Jiang Shunian's stomach. "Nono, your dad doesn't dislike you, he's just worried about your father's health. You understand, right?"
Nono moved slightly.
"Nono is very well-behaved, and there are so many doctors and the medical equipment is the most advanced. Nono and I will definitely be safe and sound."
Fu Yanli replied, "Yes, everyone must be safe."
"Don't worry about me, get some rest tonight, okay?"
“Okay,” Fu Yanli agreed.
That night, when Jiang Shunian got up to use the bathroom, he silently walked to the door on the carpet, opened the door, and sure enough, there was a tall man sitting against the wall by the door. He didn't skimp on himself; he had brought a cushion and a blanket, seemingly intending to keep watch by the door.
Upon seeing Jiang Shunian open the door, Fu Yanli quickly stood up, somewhat anxiously asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Fu Yanli, come in and sleep with me." Jiang Shunian felt that Fu Yanli couldn't continue like this. Even if he had an iron body, he would break down if he kept going like this.
Fu Yanli was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Shu Nian."
When Jiang Shunian came out of the bathroom, Fu Yanli was already lying on one side of the bed.
The bed was spacious and of moderate firmness. Fu Yanli had already ordered a pregnancy pillow for Jiang Shunian to reduce her burden.
Fu Yanli helped Jiang Shunian lie down and touched his belly. There was still more than a month until the C-section. Nuonuo's figure was moderate, so Jiang Shunian's belly was not big. Thanks to Fu Yanli's careful care, Jiang Shunian did not gain much weight and did not develop stretch marks, but Fu Yanli was still apprehensive.
He really couldn't afford to take any risk at all.
“It’s really nothing. If you keep being so nervous, I’ll start getting nervous too,” Jiang Shunian said in a relaxed tone. “Or do you want me to have prenatal anxiety too?”
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Fu Yanli took a deep breath. "I'll adjust."
"You definitely need to adjust; you're not handsome anymore."
Fu Yanli: "..."
Jiang Shunian closed his eyes to go to sleep, but secretly opened them and found that Fu Yanli was still looking at him. Speechless, he said directly, "Fu Yanli, if you don't go to sleep, I'm going to kiss you."
"Is there really such a good thing?" Fu Yanli's eyes widened slightly, unable to hide his joy.
Although they had established a relationship, they refrained from any intimate behavior in order to take care of Jiang Shunian's health.
Fu Yanli's eyes were practically glowing green from hunger.
"Dream on." Jiang Shunian blinked and said with a smile, "If you can get a good night's sleep tonight, I'll kiss you tomorrow morning."
Fu Yanli closed his eyes in a second: "I'm going to sleep, goodnight."
Jiang Shunian couldn't help but laugh, then closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, Fu Yanli looked like a plant that had just drunk its fill of water, lush and vibrant, radiant with health.
Jiang Shunian kept her word, reached out and grabbed his collar, pulled it down, and kissed him on the lips: "This is your reward. Keep sleeping well tonight."
Fu Yanli couldn't resist returning the kiss.
As the due date drew closer, Jiang Shunian's belly grew larger and his body became slightly swollen, though not seriously. Fu Yanli massaged him every day, and even handed over his work to his father, Fu Shizhang, to focus on accompanying Jiang Shunian.
Jiang Shunian was in good condition and had no worries at all. He didn't know where his sense of security came from, but he felt that he would definitely give birth safely.
After all, Nono is really well-behaved and developing very well.
Fu Yanli became anxious again, but he did not show it to Jiang Shunian.
Three days before the surgery, Jiang Shunian checked into a private room for final examinations.
All values are within acceptable limits, so surgery can proceed.
Jiang Shunian touched his belly and said to Nuonuo, "Baby, Daddy will be able to see you soon."
Nuonuo's little hand rested on Jiang Shunian's belly, as if in agreement; he was also looking forward to meeting his father.
Fu Yanli suppressed all his emotions and did not show anything unusual in front of Jiang Shunian, but in reality he was extremely vulnerable, as if he would shatter at the slightest touch.
Especially when Jiang Shunian was being wheeled into the operating room after the anesthesia was administered, Fu Yanli's eyes turned red, and he actually cried.
He held Jiang Shunian's hand, tears streaming down his face: "Shunian, I'll wait for you. Please stay safe."
"Don't worry." Jiang Shunian's eyes crinkled into a smile.
More than half an hour later, the clear cry of a baby rang out in the operating room. Fu Yanli, who had been cosplaying as a statue in front of the operating room, suddenly moved. He seemed to want to take a few steps forward, but because he was too nervous, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Was the surgery successful? Is everything alright?
