Chapter 938: Chapter 938: You Did Put In the Effort, After All
The gentle, soft touch… it’s almost mesmerizing.
He Jingyao watched her belly grow little by little, but it wasn’t until now that he had a real sense of it—inside there were two little lives being nurtured.
This feeling stirred up an extremely complex and intense emotion within him.
He couldn’t help but lean down, pressing his cheek against her belly.
Zhixi looked at him, serious and expectant, her eyes slightly red.
“They moved again.” He Jingyao suddenly chuckled softly, “So mischievous… I wonder if they’re boys or girls.”
When Zhixi first got pregnant, Xiaobao kept talking every day about a little sister. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net
Upon learning that Zhixi was carrying twins, Xiaobao’s chatter turned to a little brother and sister.
He might actually be right.
“I want two little girls,” Zhixi pondered a moment and said, “Two identical little girls, dressed in the same clothes, with the same hairstyles, they’d definitely be adorable.”
He Jingyao imagined the scene, and couldn’t help but yearn for it.
He smiled again, sitting beside her, holding her hand, and gently kissed it: “Zhixi, thank you.”
He Jingyao placed his hand on her belly once more.
The two little ones inside had already quieted down.
He slightly curved his lips, his gaze exceedingly gentle.
Zhixi’s heart stirred, and she suddenly said softly, “I miss Xiaobao…”
Speaking of which, she hadn’t seen the little one for several days, and every time she called, Xiaobao would grumble, saying mommy and daddy didn’t love him anymore.
He Jingyao chuckled: “Let him stay at the old house for a few more days.”
Zhixi thought of Xiaobao’s pitiful look and couldn’t help but giggle: “You really dislike him, huh…”
Just as He Jingyao was about to speak, his phone on the coffee table suddenly chimed with an incoming message.
He Jingyao glanced at it, his gaze slightly darkened.
Seeing this, Zhixi’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
He Jingyao suddenly smiled, ruffled her hair, and said, “Why don’t you go take a nap, hmm?”
Zhixi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded obediently. Being pregnant now, she had to consider the babies even if she didn’t consider herself, so she unconditionally accepted all of He Jingyao’s arrangements.
He Jingyao gently kissed her forehead, carried her back to the room, and only left after she fell asleep.
Afterward, he went to the next room.
Xiaozhou, groggy-eyed, opened the door, saw He Jingyao standing outside, and couldn’t help but feel a bit tense.
“I… I’ll be ready soon.” As soon as Xiaozhou spoke, he wanted to slap himself. Why was he stuttering? What was there to be afraid of?
He Jingyao smiled: “May I come in?”
He blanked for a moment and couldn’t help but step aside to let him in.
Though the man was just in casual wear, as he stepped gracefully inside, Xiaozhou still felt a sense of brilliance.
