Hong Xiaodan hung up the phone. Not long after, Chen Feng arrived, and the nanny opened the door.
She quickly ca out of the bedroom, looking at Chen Feng standing in the living room, and couldn’t help but smile.
Chen Feng saw her standing there with her big belly, giggling at him, and felt a bit speechless, so he walked over.
"Did you nap?"
Chen Feng casually asked as he approached her.
Hong Xiaodan snapped back to reality, quickly answering, "Um, yes, I did. I just woke up not long ago."
"That’s good." Chen Feng nodded approvingly, "It’s important to keep up the habit of napping."
Previously, when her depression acted up, she didn’t have the habit of napping during the day. It was only because Chen Feng frequently ca to keep her company that things got better.
"I nap every day now, don’t worry."
Seeing Chen Feng caring for her, Hong Xiaodan couldn’t help but smile again, making Chen Feng feel a bit like she was lovestruck.
"Have you been to the hospital for a check-up these past few days?"
Chen Feng asked while making his way to the sofa and sat down on his own.
The two nannies were quite perceptive, both retreating to their rooms.
And it was only then that Hong Xiaodan ca to her senses, quickly asking concernedly, "Are you thirsty? I’ll get you a drink or make you so tea."
"No, I’m not thirsty. You co and sit down too."
Chen Feng patted the sofa.
Hong Xiaodan obediently ca over, sat next to Chen Feng, and with a bit of shyness, leaned her body against him.
Their relationship had beco quite intimate before, so this kind of physical contact was quite normal. It’s just that, not having seen each other for a few days, Hong Xiaodan suddenly felt a bit shy, and leaning against him made her feel a bit embarrassed.
Thinking about the encouragent Liu Ying gave her over the phone, she felt even more uncertain and lost confidence again.
"I just asked you, did you go for a check-up at the hospital over the past few days?"
"Oh, yes, I went. Just yesterday."
"Everything is normal with the baby, right? Is the fetal heartbeat stable?"
"Yes, everything is fine."
"I happened to miss it this ti. I’ll go with you next ti."
Chen Feng had promised her that he would accompany her to the prenatal check-ups, but this ti he went back to his hotown for several days and just missed it.
Although Hong Xiaodan felt a bit regretful, she was still happy when she heard Chen Feng say this, nodding with a smile: "Okay, you must accompany next ti. But it will be next month; there will be many items in the check-up."
"That’s perfect. I can help you with registration and queueing. Otherwise, the two nannies you hired might not really know how to do it."
"Indeed, there are so many advanced intelligent devices in the hospital now, not very friendly to them, who are older and not very educated. They don’t know how to operate. Yesterday they went with , and I had to do everything myself – registering, paying fees, picking up forms and dications."
"It’s really inconvenient for you to go to the hospital for check-ups with your belly. I’ve heard that maternity care centers are quite good. Do you want to move you and Liu Ying to a maternity care center to live? It’s safe and convenient, and you can give birth and rest directly there, with comprehensive service."
Chen Feng wasn’t entirely uncaring for the two pregnant won; in his free ti when browsing his phone, he did pay attention and search for information about pregnant won preparing for childbirth.
Of course, Chen Feng knew about maternity care centers long ago, but they hadn’t ntioned it at first, especially Hong Xiaodan, whose family was well-off, and voluntarily didn’t ntion going to a maternity care center. So Chen Feng didn’t bother to bring it up.
But now, seeing their bellies getting bigger, and going to the hospital for check-ups is crowded and requires waiting in line, botherso and unsafe, it seed very necessary to go to a maternity care center.
"I thought about it before and even searched online, but later I gave up. Mainly because the activity space there is small, the environnt is unfamiliar, and I may not adjust well; it’s not as relaxing and comfortable as at ho."
"But it’s safer there than here, right? In case of anything, I an if anything, the doctors and nurses can serve you anyti.
Your belly is getting bigger now, movent becoming more inconvenient, and having professionals serve you at the maternity care center is definitely safer than being here.
Moreover, it’s more convenient for prenatal check-ups; you don’t need to register and wait in line yourself. You and Liu Ying can go together and have companionship, making it less boring or uncomfortable."
Hong Xiaodan was sowhat tempted upon hearing Chen Feng’s suggestion, hesitatingly saying, "Then I will discuss it with my parents and Liu Ying. Did you ntion this to Liu Ying?"
"I haven’t told her yet."
Seeing Chen Feng first discussed this matter with her made her very happy inside.
"Then I’ll tell her later. By the way, do you know which maternity care centers are good in Xiu Zhou?"
Chen Feng indeed knew and took out his phone, unlocking it while saying, "I searched online before and saved the information. There are mainly three centers, all with good reputations online. I can take you there to see in person and let you choose one."
"Okay, so when do we go to check it out?"
"If you all don’t have any issues with it, I can take you there tomorrow to see it in person."
Seeing Chen Feng so eagerly wanting to take them to see the maternity care center, Hong Xiaodan didn’t hesitate much and imdiately agreed.
"Alright, then tomorrow."
If it were just her going, even with two nannies along, she wouldn’t want to stay at the maternity care center.
But going with Liu Ying, and Chen Feng probably being able to visit occasionally, plus if the service is adequate, the environnt comfortable, not having to go to the hospital and queue for check-ups, it’s surely better than staying in a residential area.
Chen Feng was also very straightforward, eager to send them to the maternity care center, not for any other reason than to ensure more safety for the babies inside their bellies.
"Have you made up your mind, really want to go to the maternity care center?" Chen Feng asked.
Hong Xiaodan nodded and said, "I don’t have a problem with it. Later, I’ll talk to Liu Ying, she probably won’t have a problem either."
Chen Feng thought about it and said, "I should be the one to tell her."
To be honest, the child in Liu Ying’s belly was going to have his surna, whereas Hong Xiaodan’s baby, even before birth, was destined to carry the surna Hong.
"Alright, you telling her is the sa." Hong Xiaodan laughed, then changed the topic, asking, "By the way, was everything smooth with the jewelry store preparations on this trip back ho?"
"It was relatively smooth."
Then the two of them started chatting about the jewelry store, followed by discussing the customs of Lin Nan’s area, and finally talking about Qin Zhen’s engagent ceremony.
Chen Feng chatted with her for over half an hour, and when he estimated the ti was about right, he stood up and said, "Let’s pause here for today. I should be going now. I’ll co over tomorrow morning to take you to check out the maternity care center."
"Wait a mont." Hong Xiaodan hurriedly grabbed him, her face flushing a bit as she murmured, "My back is a bit sore, and my calves are slightly swollen. Could you... help massage them?"
Chen Feng was a bit taken aback upon hearing this; wasn’t this Liu Ying’s tactic before? Was Hong Xiaodan copying her?
"What? Can’t do it?"
Seeing that Chen Feng didn’t respond imdiately, Hong Xiaodan cautiously asked again.
