As Shen Xiaoyan was about to take out her notebook, Sima Han shook his head and held out his hand to stop her, "No need to write, I know everything you want to say. I won't do anything to ruin someone else's family."
His answer was direct and reassured Shen Xiaoyan.
Seeing his clear eyes looking at her, under that clear gaze, Shen Xiaoyan nodded.
For some reason, sometimes when she met his eyes, she always felt very at ease.
"Sima Han, stop trying to charm my wife with your good looks when I'm busy." Zheng Wei walked over after filling out the form. He never had a good temper with Sima Han.
Sima Han just smiled and said nothing.
"It's all ready. You take her in." Three minutes later, Sima Han glanced inside, saw that everything was prepared, and said to Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei took a look, snorted at Sima Han, then patted Shen Xiaoyan and walked in.
Shen Xiaoyan really wanted to say that she was only three months pregnant and didn't need this much care, but seeing the man's attentive demeanor, she could only feel warm inside and couldn't say anything.
"Xiaoyan, when we go home today, let's go to the mall again. I think the nursery needs a few more things." Zheng Wei said to Shen Xiaoyan as he walked her in, holding her hand.
Shen Xiaoyan shook her head. They had already been once before. That was the first time Shen Xiaoyan had witnessed the man's purchasing power. He seemed to want to move everything from the mall back home. He would buy several colors of almost every item, under the pretense of letting the baby choose later.
How could such a small child choose...
Zheng Wei knew what she was thinking from her expression. He explained very carefully to Shen Xiaoyan, "I just found out about a place that sells handmade wooden toys yesterday. I want to go and see it today, and buy some more clothes."
Shen Xiaoyan's head started to ache just hearing about clothes. Zheng Wei was now acting a bit crazy, which made people laugh and cry.
While the doctor was asking questions, Shen Xiaoyan quickly wrote a sentence: "The baby's clothes at home are already overflowing."
Zheng Wei reached out and patted Shen Xiaoyan's head, saying with a chuckle, "What's the big deal? At worst, we can convert the room next door into a walk-in closet for the baby."
Shen Xiaoyan: "..."
Such a devoted father. But wasn't this devotion a bit excessive?
"Here, I'll help you up. Be careful." Zheng Wei's attentive attitude as Shen Xiaoyan prepared to lie down for the examination even made the female doctor beside them a little envious.
The three-month prenatal check-up was a bit complicated. By the time Zheng Wei took Shen Xiaoyan around, she was already very tired.
The examination results were still being organized inside. The couple sat on the resting chairs outside. Shen Xiaoyan leaned against Zheng Wei's shoulder. This was the first time she felt a bit tired since becoming pregnant.
Her state made Zheng Wei feel very pained. Zheng Wei carefully picked her up and held her in his arms. Holding her like this would be more comfortable, as the resting chairs were a bit hard.
Many people came to the hospital for prenatal check-ups every day. Some came with their husbands, while others came alone. At this moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to this outstanding couple.
Shen Xiaoyan had no energy to pay attention to the stares. She leaned in Zheng Wei's embrace, her eyelids starting to droop.
"If you're sleepy, take a nap. I'll wake you up later, okay?" Zheng Wei could tell she was probably sleepy seeing her like this. She had been feeling tired a lot lately, though her appetite was still normal.
As the child in her belly grew, Zheng Wei increasingly understood what his father had said.
For a woman to give birth to a child was truly not an easy matter.
Just as he was holding her, Zheng Wei's phone suddenly rang. Although the ringtone was not loud, it still woke the light-sleeping Shen Xiaoyan. Shen Xiaoyan rubbed her eyes, remembering that she had to go in to see the doctor about the results later, so she forced herself not to sleep.
Zheng Wei ignored the phone at first. He kissed Shen Xiaoyan's eyelids a couple of times before answering it.
"Boss, the dumplings here have received the first order. It's from the very famous singer Mori Mari. She's going to attend a music ceremony in America next month and heard that dumplings have custom high-end designs. She's scheduled to come to the studio today." The caller was Na Muzhong. Logically, this call should have been made to Shen Xiaoyan to report, but since Shen Xiaoyan rarely answered the phone now, it was directed to Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei listened expressionlessly and then responded with an "En."
"Then I'll go and meet with the people from her studio this afternoon." This was something they had agreed on before; Shen Xiaoyan was only responsible for the design.
"Tell her to send me photos of her actual body measurements." Hearing that it was work-related, Shen Xiaoyan took out her small notebook and wrote a sentence for Zheng Wei to relay to Na Muzhong.
Zheng Wei glanced at it and relayed the message to Na Muzhong.
"This Mori Mari is quite the diva, and female artists are always sensitive about their figures. I'll go and ask first. If it's not possible, we can just decline the order," Na Muzhong said boldly when it came to making decisions.
"En, you handle it yourself." Zheng Wei hung up the phone and continued to hold her in his arms, as if holding a child, until a nurse came out to notify them to collect the results. Shen Xiaoyan wanted to get down from Zheng Wei's embrace, but Zheng Wei simply maintained his previous posture and carried her in.
The doctor inside also saw this for the first time, but she quickly masked her surprise and gestured to a chair in front of them, nodding at the couple.
Zheng Wei placed her on the chair, then stood beside her, his eyes intently focused on the examination reports, his gaze as meticulous as if he were reviewing multi-million dollar cases.
"Doctor, are there any problems with my wife's test results?" Zheng Wei exhaled and asked with a hint of nervousness.
Zheng Wei's nervousness was easily detectable. The doctor knew his identity. Seeing such a powerful figure in the business world acting so nervously in front of his wife created a surprisingly heartwarming contrast.
The doctor, a middle-aged woman of some age, saw Zheng Wei's demeanor. She pointed to another chair beside them and said with a smile, "You sit here. I'll explain it to you in detail. The results are fine, but there are many pregnancy-related precautions and things that the pregnant woman needs to supplement."
Hearing the doctor's clear statement, Zheng Wei's anxious heart finally settled. He pulled another chair to Shen Xiaoyan's side and sat down. The doctor noticed that as the man sat down, he reached out and held her hand tightly.
This youthful affection made the middle-aged doctor smile with reminiscence. "This is your first child. I've also received the report regarding the expectant mother's mood. In any case, being cautious is not wrong. Don't just lie at home all day; going out for a walk on time is also good. And most importantly, maintain a good mood."
"Since we're having a child, her mood has been very good, she even forgets about me," Zheng Wei added, with a hint of jealousy in his words.
Hearing him say that, Shen Xiaoyan felt a little embarrassed. She leaned her head on Zheng Wei's shoulder and gently nuzzled him. At this, the three people in the room all burst into laughter.
"It seems I don't have to worry about your mood issues," the doctor chuckled. Finally, as the couple was about to leave, the doctor looked at them and blessed them, "You two are so outstanding, your baby will surely be very beautiful!"
"Thank you for your kind words, doctor!" Zheng Wei said sincerely.
After all, anyone who offered blessings about children now made him very happy.
Zheng Wei was now carrying all the bags, big and small. Shen Xiaoyan's handbag was also carried by him. Shen Xiaoyan had nothing in her hands.
As they went down to the parking lot, Zheng Wei's mood remained very good, a smile lingering on his lips.
Shen Xiaoyan, on the other hand, thought carefully in her heart. She felt that she had been busy with her pregnancy and then with the studio's designs, and it seemed she had neglected Zheng Wei quite a bit lately. Yet, this man had been getting better and better to her every day.
Looking up at his smiling lips, she felt even more guilty.
As soon as Zheng Wei put the handbag in the car and was about to open the door to help Shen Xiaoyan in, Shen Xiaoyan reached out and stopped him.
Zheng Wei gave a questioning "En." As he turned his head, Shen Xiaoyan had already stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around Zheng Wei's neck, and kissed him on the lips.
Zheng Wei's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that a casual remark he made in front of the doctor today would make his wife realize how to cherish him.
He keenly noticed Shen Xiaoyan subtly raising her tiptoes. She was pregnant now. Zheng Wei, while kissing her passionately, reached out and lifted her up, allowing her feet to stand on his leather shoes. He then proactively tilted his head up, quickly regaining the initiative.
He dared not act recklessly these days. He had been living like a monk, honestly. Before Shen Xiaoyan became pregnant, he had just started to enjoy "good times," and suddenly stopping made him a little restless.
Just as they were lost in a passionate kiss, a horn honked, breaking their sweet moment.
Sensing Shen Xiaoyan's movement, Zheng Wei released her and then, holding Shen Xiaoyan, looked towards the source of the sound. They saw a car parked not far away.
Shen Xiaoyan tilted her head to look from Zheng Wei's embrace and could vaguely see a woman sitting in the passenger seat.
Zheng Wei glanced at it, showing no intention of paying attention. He opened the passenger door and carefully helped Shen Xiaoyan in, then personally fastened her seatbelt.
While fastening the seatbelt, he couldn't resist kissing her on the lips again. Shen Xiaoyan tried to dodge, their happiness evident.
After settling Shen Xiaoyan in, Zheng Wei turned to the driver's seat. However, before he could get in, the car that had honked suddenly drove towards them. It wasn't an aggressive move, but its car was parked diagonally in front, clearly intending to block Zheng Wei.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Wei worriedly. As the car approached them, Shen Xiaoyan immediately saw the woman driving. At first glance, the woman was stunning, and surprisingly, her aura was not sweet, but rather cold and alluring, instantly creating a sense of distance.
Zheng Wei glanced at the road behind, not wanting to deal with the car in front. He intended to turn around and leave from the back.
Just as Zheng Wei had opened the car door and was about to get in, the woman in the car suddenly got out.
There was no one else around her; she was alone. She took off her sunglasses, and her cold, alluring eyes stared directly at Zheng Wei.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm here today to see Miss Qi." Mori Mari said, her gaze then shifting to Shen Xiaoyan, who was already seated in the passenger seat.
