The doctor smiled while looking at the screen, “The baby is in good condition and is healthy.”
“Would you like to listen to your baby’s heartbeat today?”
Ye Zhi nodded, “Okay.”
A few seconds later, the sound of a heartbeat came from the instrument. The air in the room seemed to be still and every beat sounded like something was hitting the air.
The child belonging to the couple was sitting quietly in Ye Zhi’s belly at the moment, but its heartbeat was real and strong.
Gu Ren and Ye Zhi looked at each other and a smile formed on their lips involuntarily. His slender fingers rested on hers, tightening slightly.
Although they have already heard the baby’s foetal heartbeat before, every time they heard it, they were as pleasantly surprised as the first time.
This little life was working hard to grow with the expectations of the Gu family and the Sheng family.
After the inspection, Gu Ren and Ye Zhi put on their masks and hats, leaving the hospital. Although the two already concealed most of their features, they were still recognised.
Before they could get into the car, they were surrounded by reporters. Due to her hiatus, Ye Zhi had not appeared in the public eye for a while.
The reporters thought of a lot of ways to take the latest photos of Ye Zhi. Naturally, her current appearance would cause a lot of attention.
“Can I ask when the due date is?”
“…”
There were many questions from reporters as the camera flashes kept on directing themselves at Ye Zhi.
Gu Ren’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at the reporter. Gu Ren, a superstar who never expressed his annoyance, showed his impatience in front of the media for the first time.
The man who was as cold as a fir tree stood tall and straight, stretching out his hands to protect his wife in his arms. He carefully protected her stomach so that she would not be harassed by others.
Ye Zhi curled up in Gu Ren’s arms without saying a word as she was carefully tucked into his embrace.
Gu Ren raised his head and looked straight at the camera. His eyes were as cold as frost and snow but the tone of his voice was no sunny day either, “Please don’t disturb my wife.”
Without answering any questions, Gu Ren protected Ye Zhi and got into the car.
The door was then closed, cutting off the flashing lights and the sight of any others. The black car drove forward, leaving the chaotic scene.
The longer Ye Zhi carried the child, the larger her belly. With that, Gu Ren became even more cautious and careful.
Because Gu Ren heard the doctor mention what to pay attention to during pregnancy, every day after eating, Gu Ren would accompany Ye Zhi for a walk.
Ye Zhi’s body was heavy and Gu Ren was worried about others accompanying her, so he decided to look out for her himself.
It was already halfway through the autumn and the temperatures were gradually getting lower. Ye Zhi put on her coat and wanted to go out, but Gu Ren grabbed her hand.
Gu Ren glanced at the clothes on Ye Zhi and felt that they were not going to be warm enough, so he immediately walked back to the room and came out with a thick coat in his hand.
Ye Zhi didn’t need to do it herself— as long as she stretched out her hands, Gu Ren would help her get dressed.
Gu Ren’s movements were very light and gentle. He bent down slightly and helped Ye Zhi fasten the bottom button.
From Ye Zhi’s point of view, she could only see the top of Gu Ren’s head with his mop of drooping hair and the straight yet towering bridge of his nose paired with his slightly curled eyelashes.
The light extended downward and the sunlight fell upon Gu Ren, drawing out charming and clean outlines of his figure. It was hard to peel her eyes away from him.
