Chapter 199 - Slowly Warming Up To Her

These days, Fu Hua has been helping Jia Li with her project. In the morning he would go to work and he would try to come back on time for lunch and continue with assisting her.

Within a few days, the dress was ready and it looked exactly like the real purple cabbage design Jia Li made.

Looking at the stunning dress, Jia Li felt bad that she had to give it away.

"Stop sulking." Fu Hua said to her.

"I can't bear to part with it. This is our hard work but we are going to give out just like that?" Jia Li asked with a frown.

"This is not the first time you're making a dress and giving it out, so what's so special about it?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.

"We made it together from the first to the last stage, we were involved in all the stages." Jia Li replied with a sad gaze.

To Jia Li, the dress meant more than just a dress to her. It was the first dress that Fu Hua assisted her with from the beginning to the last stage.

Making that dress with him, helped them to be one step closer and she learned a lot of things from him.

Being the best designer was not just enough, she needed to have the right knowledge to make the dresses perfectly and that was the knowledge she lacked.

And to her, Fu Hua was the best teacher. He had a lot of experiences because this was all he had learned since he was little, so of course, he was perfect in it.

Fu Hua understood what she meant and a smile appeared on his face. He hugged her from behind and placed his jaw on her head.

"We have plenty of time to make a lot of dresses together, so don't be sad." Fu Hua consoled her.

Jia Li turned to stare at him as she asked, "Will you still have the time to make more dresses with me?"

"Yes, but that will be in the future. Right now, you need to rest and concentrate on taking care of the baby and yourself." Fu Hua said as he caressed her stomach.

Her stomach was no longer as flat as it used to be because a little life was growing in her.

Jia Li smiled when his hand went into her dress to caress her stomach. But a question came to her mind.

"Fu Hua, do you like the baby?" Jia Li asked.

Fu Hua took his hand off from underneath her clothes and turned her over to look at him. He stared into her eyes as he asked, "Why are you asking?"

"I don't feel your love for our child." Jia Li said.

Fu Hua sighed and tried to explain things to her. "I love our child but I don't know how to show it. I don't know how to care for it but I promise to try my best."

Fu Hua knew that her words were true and so he hurried to explain. He loved their child but he was still getting used to the fact that he was going to be a father.

Being a father was not something he saw happening anytime soon until he was shocked by the news, so he was slowly trying to adapt to it.

This was the first time he was having this experience, so things were still a bit awkward for him.

Jia Li got his point. She knew he didn't know how to interact with people and she can attest to that because of the way he treated her before they got married.

He doesn't talk to her and only replies to her greetings with a hum. His personality back then was so cold that she was scared of crossing paths with him. But now, he was slowly warming up to her.

Fu Hua thought of something and said to her, "Jia Li, I never asked you if you wanted the child and just allowed you to bear the burden and now, you will have to dedicate one year of your life to care for the child. I'm sorry for not being considerate."

Fu Hua understood that having a child may be a good thing but now, she has to sacrifice the plans she had for herself because of the pregnancy, so he felt guilty.

Jia Li smiled as she replied, "It's okay, you were not at fault. You were drugged and we didn't remember to consider the other aspect."

She couldn't blame him as both of them didn't think about using protection to prevent pregnancy, since they didn't talk about childbearing and we're not ready to have a child.

Fu Hua pulled her to sit on the couch and started to ask her some questions.

"How did you feel when you found out about the pregnancy?" He asked because he was curious to know about her feelings at that time.

Jia Li smiled and started recounting her feelings and emotions at that time.

"At first, I had mixed feelings because I wasn't expecting to be pregnant. I had plans to get into a good company and start work but learning that I was pregnant, I was unhappy. I wasn't ready to be a mother and things were awkward between us at that time. I was afraid of your reaction if you found out I was pregnant."

"Why would you be afraid of my reaction?" Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze. He was truly surprised that Jia Li was scared of his reaction to the news of her pregnancy and wanted to know why she felt that way.

Jia Li looked away from him and fiddled with her fingers. "I was afraid you wouldn't be happy that I was pregnant because you didn't like me back then.".

Fu Hua chuckled at her response. Now, he finally understood why she tried to hide the pregnancy report from him.

He pinched her cheeks asked, "So you planned to hide the news from me, but for how long?"

"I don't know, maybe till I couldn't hide it anymore.." Jia Li replied and dodged his hands.
