The doctor was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "No, it's just based on his impressions after seeing it too much."
After the examination, the doctor gave a few instructions.
"We are in the third trimester of pregnancy now, so try to stay with me as much as possible."
Ji Xiuran nodded: "I understand."
After the prenatal checkup, Ji Xiuran asked Xie Yu to send Zhao Ningchu home first, and then go to the company.
The car stopped steadily at the door of the villa, Ji Xiuran said softly: "Go in."
"Are you going to the company?"
'Um!'
"Is it okay to go for lunch?"
"Try to get off work early tonight to have dinner with you and your son."
When Zhao Ningchu heard what he said, she knew that Ji Xiuran was really busy, so she didn't say anything more.
"Okay, then you go to work, I'm going back."
Ji Xiuran stretched out his hand to smooth Zhao Ningchu's long hair, looked at the split ends, and whispered: "My hair is even split."
"Well, it hasn't been repaired for a long time."
'I'll help you fix it when you come back.'
"good!"
Ji Xiuran came over, kissed Zhao Ningchu, and even though he was reluctant, he let her get out of the car.
Back home, as soon as Zhao Ningchu entered the door, he heard the laughter of Gu Ran and Xiao Bai coming from the living room.
"baby!"
Zhao Ningchu spoke while changing her slippers.
When Xiaobai heard her voice, he stood up suddenly and ran towards her.
'Mommy, where's dad?'
After saying that, he looked behind Zhao Ningchu expectantly.
Zhao Ningchu comforted him: "Dad is working in the company and won't come back until after get off work."
When Xiaobai heard this, he was a little disappointed and said: "Ah, I just went to the company when I came back, and you didn't even go home to see me."
'Dad is quite busy, Xiaobai, you understand dad.'
Xiaobai lowered his eyes and whispered: "Oh, I know."
"Dad will be back from get off work in the afternoon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ran walked over to her and said, "Ji Xiuran didn't follow you back?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded: "Well, there are too many things going on in the company, so I can't leave. By the way, why don't you tell me first when you come over so I can pick you up."
Gu Ran smiled: "It's not very far, so I walked over slowly."
"When Ji Xiuran sent me back, he passed by your neighborhood."
Gu Ran had moved out for several months, and Zhao Ningchu felt very worried when he saw her pregnant belly, which was even more obvious than his own.
Before she could speak, Gu Ran took the lead and said, "Yes, Ah Chu, have you read today's news?"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she looked confused: "What news? Who exposed me again?"
"It's not yours, it's Chen Sisi's."
Zhao Ningchu frowned slightly. Since the last time Chen Sisi came here to declare her sovereignty with an arrogant look, she has not appeared again and has not heard any news about her.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Dead."
"What?"
Zhao Ningchu looked at Gu Ran in shock: "When did it happen?"
"What I found this morning was all on the news."
"Where is it? Let me see!"
Gu Ran took out her phone and handed it to Zhao Ningchu. Zhao Ningchu took the phone and saw it, then clicked on the video.
The video said that her body was found at the beach. When it was found, her body was swollen and smelly. The body was mosaic, so Zhao Ningchu could not see the specific appearance.
Zhao Ningchu couldn't believe it. The man who was so arrogant and domineering before was now dead.
"how so?"
Gu Ran said angrily: "Evil people are rewarded with evil consequences. She must have done too many immoral things, so she accidentally fell into the water and died."
"Accidentally fell into the water?"
"Isn't it? Could it be that someone else threw her into the sea?"
Zhao Ningchu said nothing. Gu Ran saw that her expression was not very good, and she immediately regretted saying anything about Chen Sisi.
She quickly changed the subject.
"By the way. I went to the hospital for a physical examination today. What did the doctor say?"
"You're growing up very well, Ranran. Otherwise, why don't you move in with me? I'm still a little worried about you."
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "We are not far away."
"But now that your belly is so big, I really don't feel comfortable living alone."
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
"How about I introduce you to someone?"
Zhao Ningchu suddenly proposed.
Gu Ran smiled helplessly and joked: "Find me a successor."
'What are you talking about? It's so ugly, I just hope there is someone by your side to take care of you."
"No, I can take care of myself, don't worry."
Zhao Ningchu saw Gu Ran insisting and stopped mentioning the matter of finding a partner. But later, when she saw Gu Ran lying on the ground covered in blood and dying, Zhao Ningchu regretted not insisting on persuading Gu Ran today.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening after Ji Xiuran finished dealing with the things piled up in the company.
He leaned against the backrest with a tired look on his face, stretched out his hand and pinched the space between his brows.
Suddenly, the cell phone beside him rang again, and he remembered his promise to go home to have dinner with his wife and children today.
While Ji Xiuran answered the phone, he picked up the coat hanging aside and put it on.
"I know, I'll be back soon."
Ji Xiuran walked out of the office, and Xie Yu happened to come over and saw that he was about to leave, so he said, "Mr. Ji, are you going back?"
Ji Xiuran nodded: "Well, I'll take the rest back and deal with it. You can get off work early and I'll drive back by myself."
Hearing this, Xie Yu nodded slightly.
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Xiuran walked towards the elevator. Xie Yu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly chased after him.
"Mr. Ji."
Ji Xiuran turned around and glanced at him.
"Anything else?"
Xie Yu hesitated for a moment, then said: "I want to ask for leave for you."
'Ask for leave?'
'Yes, my wife's birthday is tomorrow, so I want to spend her birthday with her.'
When Ji Xiuran heard the word birthday, he thought that his wife's birthday was only a few days away.
"Then you can rest tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ji."
Ji Xiuran hummed and then said, "By the way, how do you plan to celebrate your wife's birthday?"
Xie Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"I plan to take her out to play and eat."
“Can you recommend any good places?”
'Is Ji always planning to go out with his wife?'
'Um.'
'Now that my wife is very pregnant, she will definitely not be able to go too far.'
"Is there anything interesting near Yanjing?"
'I do know that there is a very popular internet celebrity water park in Jinnan District. You can take your wife there to play. It only takes half an hour by car.'
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he nodded slightly.
"I'll check it later."
…
When Ji Xiuran returned home, it was already past eight o'clock. When he got off the car, he saw his son sitting in the yard.
Xiaobai also ran out after hearing the sound of the car. When he saw Ji Xiuran, he couldn't hide his excitement and shouted: "Dad!"
Then he ran towards Ji Xiuran and hugged Ji Xiuran's leg.
"Dad, you are finally back."
Ji Xiuran lowered his eyes and looked at his son who was holding him.
A trace of guilt and regret flashed in his eyes.
He felt guilty for missing the five years of companionship with Xiaobai.
When he learned that he had a son, Ji Xiuran was even at a loss. He didn't know how to get along with his son and how to become a qualified father.
So now, when Zhao Ningchu is pregnant with her second child, he does everything by himself, just because he doesn't want to miss any time or opportunity to spend time with her.
Ji Xiuran reached out and touched Xiaobai's head, and whispered: "Yes!"
"My mom and I are waiting for you to have dinner."
"Have you not eaten yet?"
"I couldn't wait, so I ate first."
"What's for dinner?"
While talking, he took Xiaobai's hand and walked towards the house.
Xiaobai thought for a while and answered in a rare and obedient manner: "Tomato, beef brisket, vegetables,"
"Did Auntie do it?"
'No, it's mommy. She told you to come back, so she cooked the food herself.'
When Ji Xiuran heard this, his brows frowned slightly unconsciously.
"Don't let mommy into the kitchen next time."
"I told you, mommy can't do things because she is pregnant with her sister, but mommy is disobedient."
The father and son walked into the living room, where a variety show was playing on the TV, but they didn't see Zhao Ningchu.
There is a bouquet of pink and white roses placed on the coffee table, and there are scissors and a vase on the table.
Apparently, the owner of the house planned to trim the roses he bought and put them in a vase.
Xiaobai followed Ji Xiuran's line of sight and immediately said, "Mommy bought it. The previous one was withered. Mommy said you would go home today, so she ordered flowers."
"Where's your mother?"
"Maybe I went back to the room because I was sleepy."
‘en!’
"Are you going to call mommy?"
Ji Xiuran reached out and rubbed Xiaobai's head: "No, dad will play with you."
Xiaobai was a little surprised: "Really?"
Ji Xiuran smiled: "What were you playing just now?"
"rubik's cube."
After saying that, he trotted over to take the newly bought Rubik's Cube and handed it to Ji Xiuran: "Dad, can you play?"
Ji Xiuran raised his lips and smiled: "Of course!"
Zhao Ningchu upstairs was woken up by Xiaobai's laughter. She stood at the top of the stairs and watched the father and son sitting on the carpet of the sofa playing.
Not knowing what he was doing, Xiaobai clapped his hands excitedly: "Dad, you are so amazing, you solved it so quickly."
"noob!"
Zhao Ningchu shouted.
The father and son turned their heads at the same time and looked at her.
"Mommy, you're awake."
Zhao Ningchu went downstairs and came over curiously: "What are you playing? You are so happy."
'The Devil's Rubik's Cube, daddy is so awesome, he solved it in no time.'
When Xiaobai said this, he had a look of admiration on his face.
Zhao Ningchu glanced at the carpet and saw that there were already a lot of Rubik's cubes piled on the carpet.
It seems that Ji Xiuran has been back for a while.
'Have you got a meal yet?'
Zhao Ningchu spoke.
Ji Xiuran shook his head slightly.
"I'll leave it for you. Auntie has gone back. I'll heat it up for you."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen. Ji Xiuran reached out and held her: "Sit down and I'll do it myself."
"Just heat it up. You play with Xiaobai, he misses you very much during this time."
Ji Xiuran nodded slightly.
Zhao Ningchu came to the kitchen and reheated the dishes left for Ji Xiuran.
Ji Xiuran looked towards the kitchen from time to time.
Xiaobai looked at his absent-minded look and curled his lips and said, "Dad, you took the wrong turn again."
Ji Xiuran came back to his senses.
'Feel sorry!'
Xiaobai reached out and took the Rubik's Cube from his hand with a speechless expression.
"You go and stay with mommy, I'll play by myself."
Ji Xiuran raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and looked at Xiaobai.
'Then you can play by yourself.'
After saying that, Xiaobai was left speechless and went to accompany his wife.
…
In the evening, Zhao Ningchu came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Ji Xiuran was lying on the bed, watching her clumsily blowing her hair. He stood up and came behind her, reaching out to take the hair dryer from her hand.
"I'm here to help you, go and sit down!"
"I can do it myself."
"Sit tight and listen."
Zhao Ningchu said oh and sat obediently while Ji Xiuran blew her hair.
Zhao Ningchu's hair is thin and soft, and it was almost done in a few minutes.
Ji Xiuran picked up the hair care oil on the side and spread it in the palm of his hand, then applied it to the ends of Zhao Ningchu's hair.
Zhao Ningchu joked: "You still understand this."
"I often see you doing this. Ah Chu, please help you fix your hair."
"It's too late, wait until next time."
"Well, I'll help you build it tomorrow."
After finishing her hair, Zhao Ningchu put her arms around Ji Xiuran's waist, put her cheek against his abdomen, and said, "Fortunately, you're back."
Ji Xiuran reached out and gently smoothed her hair.
"Fool, don't think so wildly."
"As long as you are nice, I won't."
"It's your birthday in two days. When I'm done with this time, I'll take you and the kids out to play."
When Zhao Ning first heard this, he was a little surprised.
"Eh."
Seeing the shocked look on his wife's face, Ji Xiuran felt inexplicably funny.
"What? I don't want to go."
"I was thinking about asking you to take me out to play, but something happened to you before I could do it."
"Feel sorry."
"Where are we going to play?"
"Water park, it's summer now, this one is suitable for you and your children."
Zhao Ningchu said with some excitement: "Okay, Xiaobai will definitely be very happy. This little guy likes swimming the most."
'Have you ever taken him to play before?'
Zhao Ningchu shook his head.
Ji Xiuran leaned over and kissed the top of her head, feeling a little distressed.
"I will take you to play in the future."
'Would it be a bit boring for us as a family? Why don't we invite more people? It would be fun to have more people.'
Although Ji Xiuran really wanted to go out as a family of three, but when he thought that it was Zhao Ningchu's birthday, he wanted to give her a surprise, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
That night, Zhao Ningchu told Fu Yuan and Gu Ran that they wanted to go play, and the two of them readily agreed.
When hanging up the phone, he also specifically reminded Fu Yuan to bring the person there.
During this period, she didn't know if Fu Yuan and Ji Wang had reconciled. In order to avoid any mistakes, Zhao Ningchu decided to call Ji Wang personally and invite her.
Maybe we can take this opportunity to go out and make the relationship between the two better.
"Brother, it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wang's gentle voice as always came over the phone.
"Xiao Chu, it's so late, what do you want from me?"
'Are you free next Friday?'
"What's wrong?"
"I want to invite you to hang out."
"I try to arrange my time as much as possible."
'Okay, let's make a deal, you must come and bring your girlfriend with you.'
Ji Wang smiled helplessly: "Okay, I will definitely go."
Zhao Ningchu hung up the phone and received a look of resentment. She turned her head and saw Ji Xiuran staring at her with a plaintive look on her face.
Zhao Ningchu found it inexplicably funny.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Did you call Ji Wang?"
"Oh, don't be angry, there are so many people."
After Zhao Ningchu finished speaking, he reached out and pinched Ji Xiuran's cheek: "My eldest brother already has a partner, why are you still jealous?"
When Ji Xiuran heard this, his eyebrows were frivolous: "He is so old, I thought no one wanted him."
Zhao Ningchu was a little surprised when he heard what he said: "You don't know he has a girlfriend?"
