The scene shook again. It was obvious that the little guy…
Li Mo pursed his lips. It was indeed a man!
The nurse at the side smiled and said, “Has the baby’s posture changed? Last time, he was still hugging his head with both hands… This time, his actions are really not small. He might be a lively baby in the future…”
Xu Qingzhi turned her head to look at the screen as well. A trace of affection and gentleness that she didn’t notice surfaced on her face.
The ultrasound doctor’s smile was always gentle and kind. “She’s full of energy, but she’s also mischievous. If she was smarter, you would have had a headache when you were young.”
Xu Qingzhi seemed to have thought of something and the smile on her face widened. “Smart children will only think of making us happy. They won’t cause trouble…”
Because he was smart, he definitely knew his limits.
The doctor smiled faintly. “You’re right.”
Li Mo’s gaze landed on Xu Qingzhi’s smiling face, and an inexplicable emotion swelled in his heart.
At this moment, the doctor seemed to have turned on something and a series of knocking sounds could be heard clearly.
“Listen to this little guy’s heartbeat. It’s really strong.”
As she spoke, she looked at Li Mo and realized that there was a hint of curiosity and surprise on his handsome face.
His dark eyes stared at the mirror image. His expression should be something that rarely appeared on his face.
Xu Qingzhi had heard this voice before. It belonged to her and Fanxing…
This symbolized life.
Her child was obediently in her stomach.
The doctor changed his position and took a closer look. Then, he retracted his head and took out a tissue to wipe it.
Xu Qingzhi slowly got up from the bed. With only her undergarments, she didn’t have the mood to care about Limo.
Instead, she took the tissue from the nurse and wiped the mixture on her stomach.
“Doctor, there shouldn’t be any problems with the baby, right?”
“Huh?” The doctor put the probe away and pressed the button to print the ultrasound. He turned to look at her in confusion.
“The fetal position is normal, and the child is developing normally. It’s just a little small. You haven’t grown enough weight this month, right?”
Xu Qingzhi nodded lightly. “Almost.”
“Go back and eat more.”
“… Okay.”
Xu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still worried about the final prenatal checkup report.
Turning around to get dressed, Li Mo followed her out, his expression unreadable.
Xu Qingzhi got dressed, but he didn’t say a word.
“… What’s wrong?”
Why did he suddenly become a different person after doing a color ultrasound with her?
Li Mo glanced at her and said slowly, “You’re indeed a son.”
Xu Qingzhi said, “I’ve already found out.”
Li Mo put his hands in his pockets and stared at Xu Qingzhi for a long time before saying, “I think a daughter is better.”
Xu Qingzhi’s heart sank. He didn’t like her son?
“… Why not?”
Li Mo frowned and looked displeased. “She’s a little ugly.”
Xu Qingzhi’s jaw dropped in shock!
Did she dislike her son because he was ugly?
“Pfft…”
At this moment, the nurse who had just come out heard what Li Mo said and couldn’t help but laugh.
It was said that Mr Li had always been cold and heartless. He didn’t smile and his methods were famous for being ruthless and unreasonable.
How could she be so funny now?
He was probably the first person she had seen who said that her son was ugly.
Xu Qingzhi was speechless for a long time. She didn’t find Li Mo’s words funny. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was that Limo found her son ugly and didn’t like him.
Seeing that the pregnant woman was in a bad mood, the nurse walked out with a printed ultrasound.
“Mrs Li, Mr Li is praising you for your beauty!”
Xu Qingzhi looked at her.
“Daughters usually look like their mothers. Mr. Li thinks that I’m beautiful, so of course he’s referring to you, right, Mr. Li?”
Xu Qingzhi looked up at Li Mo with a hint of hope.
Was Li Mo indirectly praising her beauty?
The nurse’s words actually made sense.
Sensing Xu Qingzhi’s gaze, Li Mo’s thin lips moved and an unnatural look flashed across his deep eyes.
“What are you looking at? Can’t your daughter be like me? Can’t she be beautiful like me?”
Xu Qingzhi blinked. Seeing his embarrassment, she couldn’t help but smile.
“But usually, sons are like their father, and it’s very likely that they’re carved from the same mold. I also think the baby is like you…”
Li Mo frowned and looked at her coldly. He took the ultrasound from the nurse’s phone and looked at it again. Then, with a look of disdain, he placed the ultrasound beside his ear.
“Open your eyes and take a good look. Am I that ugly?”
On the left and right, Li Mo’s ultrasound was compared to his.
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes widened as she looked at Li Mo’s face and the photos. Suddenly, she couldn’t help but laugh.
The nurse beside her was also laughing uncontrollably.
This was the first time she had seen someone comparing a four-month-old baby with her own face.
It was too fun.
Li Mo seemed to realize how childish his actions were. His face darkened and he threw the ultrasound scan to Xu Qingzhi before walking out of the examination room.
Xu Qingzhi caught it and read it carefully.
The little fellow was on top and his limbs could be seen clearly. His arms were covering his face, so only half of his face could be seen. His facial features seemed to be clearer than last month. Looking at the closed eyes on half of his face, he could tell that his eyes were not small.
However, she really felt that be it the shape of his face or his facial features, Limo’s shadow was everywhere.
She had to look like Limo. That way, even in the future…
She could also watch her son’s face.
She really didn’t want to face this outcome.
Sighing softly, she walked out with the ultrasound.
In the director’s office, Tang Fan was reporting the situation to Shen Fanxing.
He typed on WeChat.
[Limo came to the prenatal checkup with your friend today.]
[I’m jealous.]
Of course, Shen Fanxing was still sleeping soundly in her husband’s arms.
Knowing that there was no response, she placed her phone aside after typing.
“Yes, she’s really not a good doctor.”
After reflecting on himself, he slumped back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. He stared at the white wall.
“How boring…”
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Department was simply a department with a wasted life.
Medical equipment and medical knowledge were common nowadays. This was either a prenatal checkup or childbirth. He had encountered all kinds of situations, even though doctors could not be as sloppy as him.
However…
He deserved to be so bored because of his superb medical skills.
She sighed for the umpteenth time. Holding the fountain pen on the table, she clicked on it in boredom.
It was because she was bored that she agreed to help Shen Fanxing take care of her best friend.
Indeed, teasing Limo was more interesting than usual.
At the thought of the awkward expression on the man’s face, Tang Fan couldn’t help but sneer.
This man was really f*cking amazing.
There was a knock on the office door. A nurse walked in and handed him the prenatal report.
Xu Qingzhi and Li Mo entered from behind.
Tang Fan looked at the report for a long time before sitting up straight.
Xu Qingzhi was looking at him nervously.
“There’s no big problem. My weight is rising slowly…”
Xu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. “Is there anything I need to pay attention to this month?”
“Emotions are naturally the first priority. You have to be happy and not let your negative emotions affect the child. The child’s personality and health will be decided by you at this moment… Also, you can exercise appropriately…”
Xu Qingzhi blinked and stared at Tang Fan expectantly.
At a time like this, he naturally hoped that the professional doctor would give him more instructions.
However, Li Mo frowned and looked at him coldly. He was indeed a pervert.
What did she mean by asking a pregnant woman to exercise?
Sensing Li Mo’s piercing gaze, Tang Fan laughed maniacally in his heart.
This weirdo was his biggest joke.
“For example? What sports are they suitable for?”
Xu Qingzhi asked as she looked at Tang Fan eagerly.
“Avoid gravity exercise, take a walk, or practice yoga and swim. Anything is fine as long as you exercise appropriately.”
Li Mo blinked and pursed his lips even more tightly.
Xu Qingzhi nodded thoughtfully. It seemed like she had to put this on the agenda.
—
Tang Fan gave the ultrasound to Xu Qingzhi. On the way home, Xu Qingzhi sat in the passenger seat and stared at the small shadow on the screen.
Li Mo looked at her through the rearview mirror a few times, his eyes never leaving her.
Li Mo’s phone kept ringing. Xu Qingzhi could occasionally hear him saying things like “we’ll talk later” and “we’ll discuss it at the company”.
When the car was about to reach the supermarket, Xu Qingzhi suddenly said,
“Wait, I have to go to the supermarket.”
Li Mo didn’t say anything but turned the car into the supermarket parking lot.
Xu Qingzhi unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Li Mo. “I’m going to the supermarket to buy some groceries. If you have something on at the company, you can leave first. I can go home myself.”
Li Mo’s eyebrows twitched. This woman was quite capable of burning the bridge after crossing it!
“I haven’t eaten this morning!”
Xu Qingzhi looked at him in surprise. “Your company must be very busy, right?”
“Your company is idle every day?”
Xu Qingzhi almost rolled her eyes at him before she got out of the car.
The two of them went straight to the vegetable section. Xu Qingzhi bought a lot of seafood, meat, and vegetables.
After paying, Limo asked, “You bought so much. How many days is this? You need to eat more, but fresh food is the best.”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, “I plan to invite Chu Yi to dinner tonight.”
Li Mo froze and his face darkened.
“Invite him to our house?”
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, “Why don’t we go to his house? Anyway… it’s only a few steps away.”
Li Mo frowned and lowered his head to look at her coldly. “What do you mean by just a few steps?”
“He lives in the villa next to ours.”
Li Mo’s face tensed up.
“Xu Qingzhi, why are you keeping your rumored partner by your side? What are you thinking?”
“You also said that it’s just a scandal. There’s nothing between us…”
Li Mo said, “You know that there’s a scandal between the two of you, but you still arranged for him to be next door. Do you think that the scandal between the two of you isn’t explosive enough?”
Xu Qingzhi closed her eyes and said, “There’s really nothing between us.”
“…”
“Are you going back now?” Xu Qingzhi asked.
Limo looked at her deeply for a few seconds before pressing the button. The car rang twice.
“Aren’t you going to come back and let me suffer?”
Xu Qingzhi’s lips moved as she reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear.
When she turned to open the car door, she said softly,
“Then I’ll go back and make breakfast for you.”
Li Mo paused. She had already gotten into the car, but her low and gentle voice seemed to still be lingering in the air.
All of a sudden, her attitude changed inexplicably.
She must have felt guilty.
Hmph.
When the two of them reached home, Xu Qingzhi started to get busy. Li Mo stood in the dining room and watched her. His busyness made him a little unhappy.
He walked up to stand behind her and reached for her.
Xu Qingzhi turned around and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Li Mo.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Mo said, “Why don’t you hire servants? Let the servants do these things…”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, “I’m very free alone. Time flies when I’m busy…”
Li Mo’s thin lips moved, but he didn’t say anything.
“Go out first. I’ll call you when I’m done.”
As Xu Qingzhi spoke, she raised her hand to brush Li Mo’s hand. Their skin touched, but Li Mo didn’t let go of her.
He stared at her for a long time, until her face turned red and her heart raced. Then, he suddenly let go of her and turned his body slightly.
“Hurry up then. I’m hungry.”
“Okay.”
He turned his head and stared at Xu Qingzhi for a few seconds before walking out of the kitchen.
Xu Qingzhi busied herself in the kitchen for more than half an hour before setting the dishes on the dining table. Only then did she go to look for Limo.
Little Moon was having fun in the living room. When he saw Xu Qingzhi, he ran over and circled her. In the end, he bit her slippers and pulled her with all his might.
“Moon, what’s wrong?”
“Wuwuwu…”
Little Moon refused to budge.
Xu Qingzhi had no choice but to follow it to the sofa in the living room.
Only then did Moon let go of her and bit onto a large bag on the sofa.
Xu Qingzhi was puzzled. She didn’t remember seeing anything here.
She bent down slightly to open the bag and realized that it was filled with practical items.
There were toiletries, a bathrobe, slippers…
They were all male.
It was obvious that this was not what she had prepared.
After staring at those things for a few seconds, she suddenly laughed softly.
Therefore, he had clearly prepared what he needed last night. Why did he ask her to buy it for him?
What was he thinking?
Why did he have to torture her so late at night?
[Limo: I just want to find a reason to spend some time with you. Why would I tell you? (⊙3⊙)⊙]
[There’s no progress in world support, everyone (⊙_⊙)]
