After learning of her pregnancy, Su Rui was fine while the baby’s father seemed particularly nervous lately.
Su Rui said a lot of things and felt like she was about to believe that pregnant women are invincible. It was only then that Gu Yu Cheng was comfortable with the idea of letting her attend lessons in school.
Fortunately, the second semester of her third-year wasn’t too packed and there weren’t too many theory courses. Thus, Su Rui was able to slip away from time to time.
Nowadays, the places Su Rui slipped away to were usually the Gu’s family main residence or Mother Su’s house.
Occasionally, she would go to Gu Company.
As for the reason why Su Rui goes to Gu Company, she felt it was embarrassing to tell Gu Yu Cheng.
Actually, even she didn’t quite understand (the reason). Anyway, after she got pregnant, she inexplicably wanted to spend more time with Gu Yu Cheng.
Sometimes when she was at school, she would suddenly want to see him.
But because Su Rui was worried that it would affect Gu Yu Cheng’s work, she rarely comes over.
Unless she really wanted to see her baby’s daddy.
Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Yu Cheng succinctly said, “Come in.”
Gu Yu Cheng looked at the documents in his hand and did not look up.
It was only when he heard light footsteps and smelled the familiar fragrance that Gu Yu Cheng lifted his head.
“Slow down.” Gu Yu Cheng tensed up when he saw Su Rui running over in small steps towards him.
“It’s okay,” Su Rui said with a smile. As she spoke, she was already guided by Gu Yu Cheng to his side.
“Sit here.”
Seeing Gu Yu Cheng nervously trying to make her sit down, Su Rui batted her eyelashes and said, “I’ve been sitting all morning. Let me stand for a while.”
One can’t sit still all the time even if one is pregnant.
Upon hearing that, Gu Yu Cheng no longer insisted.
He just wrapped his arm around Su Rui’s waist, letting the woman’s body weight rest on his own.
Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and kissed Su Rui’s forehead. He asked in a gentle voice, “Why did you come over?”
“I came to check on you, to see if you are doing your job properly,” Su Rui said half-jokingly.
After a pause, Su Rui explained, “I had classes during the first and second period today and then I went to attend a class at the childcare centre, which happened to be nearby. So I came over after it ended.”
After saying that, she saw the glimmer of emotion in Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes, Su Rui hastily added, “It’s really near and it was the driver who sent me over.”
When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, he responded, “En.” Then, he asked, “How are you feeling today?”
“Very well, don’t worry.”
“Right,” thinking of something, Su Rui smiled and continued, “I learned about infant massage in class. Do you want to try it?”
Looking at Su Rui’s expectant expression, Gu Yu Cheng smiled dotingly, “Alright.”
“Then, sit down.”
Letting Gu Yu Cheng sit in the office chair, Su Rui went around to the side and lifted her hand and started pressing down on Gu Yu Cheng’s eyebrows.
“Is it okay if I add more pressure?”
Just now at the childcare centre, Su Rui was very serious about learning it, but approaching an adult was different from a baby.
If she used that kind of pressure too, she would probably be tickling him.
And Su Rui didn’t use all the ones she had just learned in class. There were some techniques that she had just learned online that were massage mainly to help adults relax.
Being stared at by Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui inexplicably felt a little nervous. Su Rui compulsively blindfolded him and said, “Close your eyes.”
“Okay.” Gu Yu Cheng responded and chuckled softly.
After closing his eyes, Gu Yu Cheng’s entire body relaxed as Su Rui massaged him.
Smelling the faint and unique fragrance of the woman’s body, Gu Yu Cheng’s heart was exceptionally peaceful.
It was just that the woman’s slender and soft fingers tracing over his face made his heart feel slightly tickled.
“How is it?” Su Rui asked softly in Gu Yu Cheng’s ear.
“Not bad,” Gu Yu Cheng said. He opened his eyes, raised his hand to grab Su Rui’s hand and pulled the person towards him.
After pulling the person into his arms, Gu Yu Cheng sat on the chair and carefully laid his head on Su Rui’s unchanged abdomen.
Seeing Gu Yu Cheng like this for the first time, Su Rui’s heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, she found it a little amusing.
Even now with Gu Yu Cheng’s lowered head, Su Rui could see the smile from the raised corners of his mouth.
“You can’t feel ‘his’ presence yet.” Su Rui reminded him.
However, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say very solemnly, “There is a heartbeat.”
When Su Rui heard that, she froze, but quickly realized what Gu Yu Cheng was talking about.
On Saturday, when they went to the hospital for an ultrasound, they had seen the small ‘thing’ on the screen that was said to be only a centimetre or two in size and a pulsating vein-like object.
Su Rui didn’t ask how Gu Yu Cheng felt, but she thought it was quite amazing.
She didn’t think that the man would remember this now.
I don’t think this ‘heartbeat’ could be heard in this manner, right?
Su Rui did not know whether the baby’s father could sense it.
However, looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s serious expression, Su Rui couldn’t help but smile and decided that it would be better not to burst his bubble.
