Chapter 315: A Playboy?
Chapter 315: A Playboy?
Jiang Xia knew what he wanted to say, and she reached out to hold his wrist, pulling his hand down to her abdomen. She placed her other hand on her belly and smiled softly, "Welcome, our little baby."
Zhou Chenglei smiled, his heart finally relaxing. He gently caressed her flat stomach, "Yes, welcome, our little baby."
The two shared a smile.
To be honest, before the baby, Jiang Xia hadn't been keen on having one so soon. There were still many things she wanted to do, and having a child would make things less convenient. But when she heard about the threatened miscarriage, she became scared. She feared that yesterday's incident might have harmed the baby, afraid that it had come and left without her even noticing.
She had never even felt its presence.
Now, all she felt was anticipation and joy. As long as the baby was safe, she didn't mind if it came and left, or if it stayed. She would welcome it and love it.
Zhou Chenglei wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head, "Thank you, thank you both."
When the nurse asked him yesterday if Jiang Xia was pregnant, he was terrified at that moment. He was afraid something might have happened to her, afraid something might have happened to both her and the baby. He felt like he couldn't bear it if either of them had any issues.
Now that Jiang Xia was awake, all he felt was happiness and gratitude.
Jiang Xia was pulled tightly into his embrace, his chin rubbing against her forehead, and the stubble that had grown overnight pricked her skin.
He usually shaved every two days, but after they got together, he noticed that her skin had tiny red dots all over. Realizing it was from his stubble, he started shaving every day to keep his face smooth.
He hadn't slept last night and hadn't had a chance to shave yet today.
Jiang Xia shook her head and smiled, "This baby must really like us and wants us to be its parents, so it broke through all the obstacles to come to us."
Zhou Chenglei thought, it wasn't just about breaking through obstacles.
He had been worried and tried using two at once, but they still broke. He thought it was a quality issue, so when he saw disposable ones in Suicheng, he bought many, fearing he might not have a chance to use them again.
Jiang Xia caressed her belly, "It must be a very determined and strong child."
Zhou Chenglei agreed, "Yes, it takes after me. Determined and strong."
It was because of him that the baby was able to break through and come into this world.
Jiang Xia: "..."
"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
Zhou Chenglei didn't have a preference, "Either is fine."
Jiang Xia recalled her recent dreams about animals and plants, and in her dreams, all the animals and plants were very beautiful.
"Before, I dreamed of a zoo filled with flowers, and there was a beautiful peacock displaying its feathers in the garden. Our baby will be very beautiful too."
Zhou Chenglei said, "Then it should be a girl, inheriting your beauty. Girls like flowers and beautiful things."
Having a beautiful daughter like Jiang Xia would be great.
Jiang Xia paused, "But only male peacocks display their feathers."
Flowers and peacocks.
"Don't tell me it's a playboy?"
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
"No, it's a daughter!"
Jiang Xia nodded, "It should be a daughter. I dreamed of a zoo, flowers, and many animals."
"Yes, it's a daughter."
Zhou Chenglei had also dreamed about animals these past few nights. He dreamed of a running cheetah chasing a deer and a soaring eagle, which was very impressive.
But Zhou Chenglei didn't mention it because it wasn't his child in his dream.
Jiang Xia spoke again, "Now that I'm four weeks pregnant, our baby is due in July next year. I can still make it for the National College Entrance Examination. If I get into university, I'll rent a place near the school and hire someone to take care of the baby during the day. I can study and take care of the baby at the same time, or I can apply for a year's leave and wait until the baby is a little older..." Jiang Xia began planning for the future.
Having a child or not wouldn't change Jiang Xia's life plan. It just added the responsibility of parenthood to her shoulders, and she would need to adjust her lifestyle, have a bit more to do, and postpone her original plans for a while.
As long as everything was arranged, nothing would be a problem.
Jiang Xia rarely spoke so much; usually, it was him talking more to her. Zhou Chenglei held her, listening attentively, unable to hide the gentleness and joy in his eyes.
This moment was special for him too.
Suddenly, he had a new identity as a father.
There was an indescribable feeling of happiness and wonder.
He and she had created a child together in this world. ^_^
There was a sense that they were now connected by flesh and blood, bound together for life.
Their child would carry his bones and her blood, passing down their legacy for generations to come.
And he would be the backbone of his wife and daughter, taking care of and protecting them for life.
Jiang Dong pushed Zhang Fuyan out to buy breakfast and ran into Ye Xian outside the ward.
Ye Xian was planning to check if Jiang Xia had woken up, but she saw Jiang Dong pushing Zhang Fuyan back.
If only she were the one in the wheelchair, then Jiang Dong would be taking care of her.
She had never intended to hurt anyone, and her brother wouldn't dare hurt others either.
So their plan was to use a Self-Inflicted Wound Scheme, where she would get injured while saving Jiang Dong, making him feel guilty and take care of her in the hospital, naturally leading to their reconciliation.
So her brother thought of placing a slightly heavy package on a truck, not securing it properly, and telling her when the truck would pass by, allowing her to act accordingly.
But who knew that when the package fell, it would bring down other things too.
She never expected Jiang Xia and Zhang Fuyan to rush over to help and end up getting injured themselves! Why did they rush over?
She only wanted to get injured herself, making Jiang Dong feel sorry for her, and she didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
Jiang Dong pushed Zhang Fuyan back to the ward.
Ye Xian asked Jiang Dong, "Jiang Dong, is Jiang Xia awake? I'd like to see her."
Jiang Dong felt that his sister probably didn't want to see Ye Xian right now, so he politely replied, "She's awake, but my sister needs rest, so it's not very convenient for anyone to disturb her."
After saying this, Jiang Dong opened the ward door, pushed Zhang Fuyan inside, and closed the door.
Ye Xian: "..."
Ye Xian bit her lip outside the ward.
At this moment, Yang Qiuying and Lu Kun Jie also arrived, carrying two baskets.
Yang Qiuying saw Ye Xian and frowned but didn't pay her any attention.
You idiot! As if they had a better plan!
The Canton Fair could have ended perfectly, but now there's an accident, and she's affected too.
He Lao had already ordered a strict investigation into the cause of the accident at the morning meeting today.
She adjusted her expression and knocked on the door gently.
