The living room was quiet. Then the mother came out of the kitchen, saw her eldest son, and paused for a moment. "Hanchen, you're back so soon?"
The old man had just finished making the call when Han Chen rushed back. He must have been very worried about Qianqian, and now Chen Shufang was showing concern for her again.
"Don't drive so fast in the future. Qianqian is fine and resting in her room. She shouldn't be awake yet."
Li Hanchen looked upstairs and said, "Mom, I'll go upstairs first."
Chen Shufang stopped her son, staring intently into his eyes, "Wait, I'm asking you, have you ever done anything to betray Qianqian?"
Li Hanchen frowned. "Mom, I don't know how Qianqian misunderstood, but she's the only one in my heart, especially since she's pregnant now."
Chen Shufang clicked her tongue and smiled with narrowed eyes, "This old man." She was telling him not to be so quick to speak.
"Go up quickly, don't wake Qianqian."
Li Hanchen strode up the stairs with quick steps, but his pace suddenly slowed as he approached the room door.
Gently turn the door lock; the bed faces the doorway, and you can immediately see a small bulge on the bed.
Walking to the bedside, a ray of sunlight from the window shone on her serene face, her long black hair spread across the pillow, and her breathing was steady and peaceful.
Li Hanchen closed the curtains before sitting on the edge of the bed. He reached out and touched his wife's eyebrows and eyes. The dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible, and he immediately looked at her with heartache. She must not have slept well for several days.
Thinking back on my whereabouts during this period, it seems I haven't had any contact with any woman.
Apart from Liu Fei.
A while ago, one of his subordinates, Min Hongjun, died in the line of duty. His wife, Liu Fei, was heartbroken. As the executive leader, he offered her a few words of condolence. Could it be that his wife misunderstood because of this?
Li Hanting immediately dismissed his thoughts. Qianqian wasn't such a reckless person; there must be some hidden story he didn't know about.
The truth will only be known when the wife wakes up.
At this moment, Ouyang Qian slowly woke up from her sleep, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. She tried to open her sleepy eyes and was suddenly stunned when she saw the man's handsome face so close to her. Her sleepiness vanished instantly.
Staring intently at him, the familiar scent emanating from the man made her realize that this was not a dream.
He really came back!
Their eyes met, and long-simmering emotions flickered in their gazes. Although they lived under the same roof, it was as if they had not seen each other for a long time.
Seeing that her husband hadn't even taken off his coat, clearly having rushed back, Ouyang Qian's lips trembled as she asked, "You...why did you come back?"
Aren't you busy with work?
Li Hanchen lowered his eyes, staring intently at every inch of her skin.
When he realized his wife seemed nervous, he frowned slightly; this shouldn't be the case between them.
Did you sleep well?
Li Hanchen effortlessly lifted the person up and placed him on his lap.
Perhaps because they hadn't been this intimate for a few days, Ouyang Qian felt a little uncomfortable and gently shifted her body, trying to move away from the man's chest.
Suddenly, the man said in a restrained voice, "Wife, don't move."
Ouyang Qian was so frightened that she dared not move. She was all too familiar with the expression on A-Chen's face.
There was still a misunderstanding between them, and she rejected the embrace from the bottom of her heart.
"Um?"
Ouyang Qian looked up into the man's eyes, her cherry lips slightly parted, "Comfortable."
That was true. She dreamed of a baby in a floral dress sitting next to her, playing and calling out to her in a sweet, childlike voice. Her heart melted.
Even though the dream was so beautiful, she didn't want to share it with her husband.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands touched her abdomen, and Ouyang Qian lowered her head in shock.
"You...you found out?"
"Mmm." Li Hanchen's lips curled up slightly, and he hugged her tighter, kissing her little ear affectionately. "Wife, we're having a baby."
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy these past few days and haven't paid attention to your health."
Ouyang Qian curled up her fingers, feeling a surge of grievance. Her eyes reddened, and she sniffed.
Li Hanchen's heart tightened. He cupped her face in his hands, and their foreheads touched. "Sweetie, don't cry. It hurts me to see you like this."
Her husband hadn't called her that affectionately in a long time. Before, she would have felt embarrassed, but now she only felt it was fake.
The woman's swagger in front of her was nothing more than the confidence given to her by A-Chen. Ouyang Qian got angry just thinking about it, pushed away from the man's chest, and quickly wiped the corner of her eye.
She didn't want to cry in front of him; it would only make her a laughingstock.
"Put me down."
Seeing his wife struggling fiercely, Li Hanchen realized the seriousness of the problem.
In order not to harm the baby in her womb, he had no choice but to put her on the bed.
When Ouyang Qian saw that the man had actually put her down, she felt even more aggrieved. Didn't he know that he was being sarcastic?
How utterly clueless about romance!
In a fit of anger, she turned her head and faced away from him.
Li Hanchen stood up, feeling both amused and exasperated by his wife's childish behavior. He took a deep breath and told himself that he had to coax her back.
Although Qianqian looks gentle and soft, she has a lot of ideas in her mind and may get herself into a dead end.
Without making a sound, he walked around to the other side of the bed. Seeing that his wife was about to turn to the side again, he quickly threatened, "If you turn around, I'll kiss you."
Ouyang Qian paused, knowing that Achen meant what he said.
"Are you being mean to me?"
Perhaps it was because pregnant women experience mood swings, but she felt that Ah Chen no longer loved her.
For the first time, Li Hanchen realized that women and petty people are the most difficult to deal with.
Qianqian is usually well-behaved and rarely acts coquettishly towards him. This time, her coquettishness was tinged with resentment, which really touched a nerve with him.
When his younger siblings were causing trouble, did Han Ting also cry and get annoyed like this?
He pinched his brows and eyes, and parted his thin lips slightly, "Wife, you know, I can't bear to be mean to you."
"Are you misunderstanding something about me? We're husband and wife, any problems should be resolved promptly."
The wife remained silent.
I had to rephrase it: "Do you think I have other women outside?"
It seems I haven't given Qianqian enough security; it's his fault.
Ouyang Qian lowered her disappointed eyes; the truth was finally out.
Li Hanchen sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, took his wife's hand, and despite her struggles, pulled her back into his arms.
"Sweetie, let me hold you for a while."
Ouyang Qian froze as if possessed.
Li Hanting recounted his experiences over the past few days: "One of my subordinates died unexpectedly, which caused problems with the project, so I haven't slept much these past few days, let alone had time to go out and find women."
He lifted her cheek, their eyes meeting. "Did I do something that made you misunderstand? Can you tell me?"
Looking at the dark circles under her husband's eyes and the obvious fatigue between his brows, Ouyang Qian knew he was probably really tired.
Despite being very busy, he rushed back as soon as he heard the news.
At this moment, Ouyang Qian's heart wavered again.
Did she misunderstand?
The next second, he became resolute again: No, impossible, that woman has already come to our door to declare war.
