It’s just... she still felt like sothing was missing between her and Shaohua.
He ca to Paris for work and to see her, but only touched her once while living together.
He wasn’t as passionate as before. It felt strange, but she couldn’t figure out what the problem was.
"Just got ho," Huo Shaohua replied, setting down the baby clothes and picking up the little socks to look at.
These little socks were adorable, and he started imagining how the baby would look wearing them.
Their child would definitely be cute; after all, he wasn’t bad-looking.
"Shaohua, have you been under a lot of work stress lately?" Song Yi asked inquisitively, thinking about the days he spent in Paris.
She had once tried to seduce him, but he remained indifferent!
He kept saying he was tired and needed rest, and sotis he secretly made phone calls alone.
When she approached, he would imdiately hang up the phone.
She secretly checked his phone, but the call history only showed Hu Yuxi or his grandmother, with no unfamiliar numbers.
Was she overthinking it? Had their long separation made her overly sensitive?
It was all her friends’ fault, always saying to keep an eye on such a good man or he’d be stolen away.
It made her paranoid, to the point where she started doubting him!
But she couldn’t find any issues at all.
"There are many issues at the company. Those branch offices have serious problems." Huo Shaohua’s tone revealed frustration, indicating he had found many issues in the branch offices.
Performance was lagging, and the managent staff had a lackadaisical, irresponsible attitude.
This ti, he ordered a thorough investigation of all the branch offices and the headquarters.
Anyone found to be irresponsible or not doing their job would be imdiately fired!
"Take care of yourself. Don’t overwork."
"Mm."
"..." At this mont, the door was pushed open with Tian Xingyun standing at the door, looking flustered.
Her heart skipped a beat, but fortunately, she hadn’t spoken! Otherwise, Song Yi would have heard her.
"How’s grandma’s health?"
Huo Shaohua glanced at Tian Xingyun and said, "Grandma is very well. I’ll call you later. I’m going to take a shower and head to the office."
"Okay, bye-bye." Song Yi kissed the phone.
After ending the call, Huo Shaohua looked at Tian Xingyun at the door and spoke first.
"Co in."
"I didn’t know you were on the phone. I’m sorry..." Tian Xingyun walked into the room, apologetically.
"It’s nothing." Huo Shaohua’s gaze shifted to her pregnant belly, now really feeling that she was carrying a child.
In a few more months, he would beco a father, and he was inexplicably excited and anticipating it.
"I didn’t an to leave the baby clothes on the bed. I’ll move them to the guest room in a bit," Tian Xingyun said, hurrying to tidy up the baby clothes on the bed.
He had returned so suddenly that she hadn’t had ti to tidy the room.
"How’s the baby?" Huo Shaohua asked stiffly, this being the first ti he proactively showed concern for the baby.
"Great. The doctor said the baby is very healthy," Tian Xingyun replied with a smile, her hand on her belly.
"That’s good." Huo Shaohua’s eyes were fixed on her belly, wanting to reach out and touch it but unable to bring himself to say it.
"You can... um..." Tian Xingyun paused, then smiled happily.
"What?"
"The baby just moved again."
"What?" The baby moved? How was that possible when it hadn’t been born yet?
How could he feel the baby move?
"It’s fetal movent."
"Can I... can I touch it?" Huo Shaohua asked nervously, stamring. He really wanted to touch it.
Tian Xingyun walked up to him, took a deep breath, and said a bit nervously, "Of course you can. You’re the father."
Huo Shaohua raised his hand, trembling, and slowly moved it towards her belly.
He gently placed his hand on her belly, the feeling was so wonderful.
It ward his heart; this was his child.
"Why isn’t it moving?" he asked in confusion. It had moved just now, but now it wasn’t.
