Chapter 86 Pregnancy Final Chapter
Fang Chuning discovered Xu Muzhou’s pregnancy two months later.
During that time, Xu Muzhou still stayed close by her side. When she worked in the office, he would sit quietly on the sofa playing with a puzzle. The puzzle was as big as half a table, with a complex pattern and no reference image to look at. Anyone without patience would want to smash it just by looking at it.
The young man was very focused. After completing a small piece, he would look up at her, then lower his head and continue puzzling.
In a corner of the office, dozens of completed puzzle pieces were stacked high, all his idle creations.
Occasionally when Fang Chuning was tired from work, she would look up at him. Whenever this happened, he would always notice first and raise his head to meet her gaze.
Just like an obedient Persian cat waiting to be petted.
Fang Chuning crooked her finger at him. The young man immediately put down the puzzle in his hand and walked over to her. Fang Chuning hugged him on her lap, the two cuddling together. Kisses densely traveled across his face. Just as she was aroused and wanted to go further, he suddenly covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
Fang Chuning was stunned. After a while, the young man came out of the bathroom looking somewhat weak.
Her brows furrowed imperceptibly as she walked over. “Are you not feeling well?”
Xu Muzhou’s eyes flickered slightly, deliberately avoiding her gaze. “It’s nothing. Maybe I drank too much juice just now and felt a bit nauseous.”
Fang Chuning didn’t suspect anything at first, but she noticed that not only at the company, but also during dinner and while watching TV at night, he would suddenly run to the bathroom to vomit. After vomiting, he would be very weak.
So despite his resistance, Fang Chuning took him to the hospital for an examination. The doctor’s result was that he was pregnant.
When Fang Chuning learned it was for this reason, she was dumbfounded. She had considered many possibilities, but just hadn’t thought of this most likely one.
Returning from the hospital to their residence, Fang Chuning sat on the sofa in silence. Xu Muzhou stood at a distance, too guilty to approach.
Fang Chuning stared at him with a gloomy expression. “We clearly took all precautions every time. How could you still get pregnant?”
It wasn’t that she was averse to it, just that she wasn’t at all prepared. They were still so young; it was too early to have children now. Moreover, judging by his reaction, the pregnancy didn’t seem to be an accident.
Xu Muzhou clutched his sleeves tightly, his gaze wandering.
“What, you don’t plan to explain?” she said expressionlessly.
Xu Muzhou bit his lip, one hand caressing his flat belly. His gaze towards her was fragile. “Ning Ning… my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable…”
Fang Chuning’s expression changed slightly as she quickly stood up and went over. “Want to vomit again?”
Xu Muzhou took the opportunity to nestle into her embrace, his long fingers gripping her clothes. He tilted his head up slightly, the corners of his eyes reddened. “My belly… I think it’s moving.”
Moving?
Fang Chuning glanced at his abdomen, which didn’t even have a slight curve yet. At just two months, it hadn’t even formed properly; this was probably just cells moving. She knew he was pretending to be pitiful and weak, but she was helpless against it.
Now that he was pregnant, she couldn’t just get rid of it.
Looking down at the young man in her arms who depended on her completely, she made a decision.
Since he was pregnant, she could no longer indulge him by letting him follow her around everywhere. And she wasn’t at ease leaving him alone at home, so they moved back to the Fang family villa.
Although Father Fang still couldn’t accept it, now that the person was already carrying his daughter’s child, even if he was angry he couldn’t act on it. He had to arrange for people to take good care of him.
As for Fang Tianli, there was no need to mention. Every time he wanted to cause trouble, he would be stopped by Father Fang, which angered him to the point of punching his bed.
The son is honored because of the father, is that it? Fine, wait until you give birth to the child and Fang Chuning will kick you out, Fang Tianli thought resentfully.
News of the pregnancy quickly reached Xu’s father. He demanded that the two must hold a wedding immediately, to prevent outsiders from knowing Xu Muzhou was pregnant before marriage, otherwise rumors would only spread more fiercely.
Fang Chuning agreed. No one in the Fang family objected except for Fang Tianli. The wedding was urgently arranged within a month. Fang Chuning ran back and forth between the company and home. The busyness and fatigue left no trace of a smile on her face.
On the large bed, just as Fang Chuning was about to fall asleep, Xu Muzhou leaned close to her ear and said softly, “Take me to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. The doctor said I need to go for check-ups regularly.”
Fang Chuning frowned and opened her eyes to look at him. “Just have Dad accompany you. I don’t have time.” She glanced at his position. “Can you lie like that while pregnant?”
Xu Muzhou slowly sat up, his gaze resentful. “You haven’t accompanied me for a long time.”
“Because I’ve been very busy lately. Can’t you understand?”
Xu Muzhou lowered his eyes and lay back down on the bed, turning his back to her in a sulk. Soon, the woman’s even breathing could be heard beside him. She clearly had no intention of coaxing him.
A sour feeling immediately surged in his heart. He curled up into a ball, secretly wiping away tears under the covers, until he finally fell into an exhausted sleep late at night.
The next morning, when he woke up and looked beside him, sure enough, the woman had already left early for work as usual.
His mood sank to rock bottom. He sat alone on the bed for a while, then slowly got up to change clothes. After washing up, he went downstairs.
Fang Chuning, who had been waiting in the living room for quite some time, turned her head at the sound and complained, “You’re so slow.”
Seeing that the woman was actually waiting for him, Xu Muzhou’s eyes suddenly brightened. He quickened his pace down the stairs. “Ning Ning, you didn’t go to the company?”
His steps were so fast he was almost running down. Fang Chuning watched with twitching eyelids and went over to support him. “Can’t you slow down? Luckily Dad isn’t here, otherwise he’d scold you again.”
Xu Muzhou happily hugged her, his voice muffled. “I thought you really didn’t care about me anymore.”
Fang Chuning didn’t say anything, habitually patting his hair. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
Time passes fastest when a person is busy. It wasn’t until Gao Qiong, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, suddenly appeared before her that Fang Chuning hazily remembered she was about to get married.
Gao Qiong had been in the United States for the past few years and only returned after hearing about her wedding.
“I knew you two would end up together.”
In the rooftop garden of Century Tower, Gao Qiong said while watering flowers.
