Chapter 220 A Nighttime Talk Between Husband and Wife
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing with a serious expression, as if he were facing something very important.
Shen Wancheng smiled and asked, "Can you feel it?"
Gu Jinxing looked up, then shook his head.
Shen Wancheng saw confusion in Gu Jinxing's eyes for the first time, which surprised and amused her.
Shen Wancheng pulled Gu Jinxing's wrist and placed his hand on the spot in her stomach where she felt a fish swimming inside her.
"now what?"
Gu Jinxing frowned and tried to sense it carefully, but the sensation was really weak, only a faint feeling.
Shen Wancheng could only say regretfully, "Perhaps the pregnancy is too early, let's try it next time."
Gu Jinxing withdrew his hand with a look of regret.
The doctor, who had been watching their interaction, couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young. Becoming parents for the first time is always so exciting."
Gu Jinxing also politely asked the doctor, "How is my wife's health?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu is in excellent health, and the fetus is developing normally, so Mr. Gu can rest assured."
"Thank you, doctor."
"Judging from how much Mr. Gu cares about Mrs. Gu and the unborn child, he will definitely be a good father in the future."
Gu Jinxing glanced at Shen Wancheng unconsciously before saying, "These are all things I should do. It's her who is suffering during pregnancy."
Upon hearing Gu Jinxing's words, Shen Wancheng's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
Men may not be able to fully understand the various feelings a woman experiences during pregnancy, but they should at least try to understand and provide adequate care through their actions.
Gu Jin tried to help Shen Wancheng get up from the prenatal examination bed.
Shen Wancheng thanked the doctor again, "Thank you."
"Mr. and Mrs. Gu, you are too kind. This is just my duty."
"It's only right that we express our gratitude."
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing thanked the doctor and left the hospital.
Shen Wancheng had never been pregnant before and did not know what prenatal checkups specifically included.
I only found out today that there is such a thing as fetal heart rate monitoring, where you can hear the baby's heartbeat. This feeling is quite magical and wonderful for first-time mothers.
Shen Wancheng was also somewhat glad that she came to Hong Kong Island. If she had been in a poor, remote area on the mainland, pregnancy would have been no different from that in ancient times. Not to mention check-ups, many people still gave birth at home, which was a real brush with death. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing left the hospital at four o'clock in the afternoon and decided to go straight home.
When they arrived home, Liu's mother was already in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Cheng Ming had already taken the car they had used that afternoon to get repaired, and was waiting at the villa for Gu Jinxing to return and give him instructions. Everyone knew that this matter was not going to end like this.
While Gu Jinxing was in the study giving instructions to Cheng Ming, Shen Wancheng called Li Su and asked him to bring photos of each finished dress to the villa the next day.
Although an unexpected incident occurred today, company matters still need to be handled.
Aunt Liu was already very familiar with Shen Wancheng's tastes, and prepared four dishes and a soup for dinner, which made Shen Wancheng very satisfied.
After dinner, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing watched TV together in the living room for a while. Then Gu Jinxing accompanied Shen Wancheng out for a walk to the He Mansion, which was about a kilometer away. This was something Gu Jinxing would do whenever he wasn't working overtime, and it had become a daily routine.
After Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing moved into their new house, Gu Jinxing would come home every day, no matter how late he was busy, and try to come back as early as possible to have dinner with Shen Wancheng.
These were not things Shen Wancheng asked for, but things Gu Jinxing did voluntarily.
The devil is in the details. It was these details that made Shen Wancheng gradually accept Gu Jinxing from the bottom of her heart, instead of initially having a win-win mentality.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing tacitly avoided mentioning what happened that afternoon at the He Mansion. As usual, they chatted with Xu Pingtao and He Lin. Shen Yao was also there. They returned to their own homes at eight o'clock in the evening.
With so many things happening today, Shen Wancheng felt sleepy early on. She and Gu Jinxing returned to their residence, washed up early, changed into comfortable pajamas, and lay down on the bed.
Only a warm yellow bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, its soft light falling on the two of them, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Gu Jinxing lay on his side, gently wrapping his arm around Shen Wancheng's waist and pulling her into his arms.
Shen Wancheng nestled in Gu Jinxing's arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, feeling a sense of peace.
But Shen Wancheng's thoughts were not so peaceful.
Now that we know this was deliberate, no matter what Gu Jinxing does, Shen Wancheng will not forget it.
Shen Wancheng asked Gu Jinxing, "Gu Jinxing, what's the current situation with the Xu family?"
Gu Jinxing didn't have the idea that he could leave everything to Shen Wancheng and that she didn't need to worry about anything. He knew that Shen Wancheng wasn't the type to rely on men for everything.
That's not the way Shen Wancheng likes to handle things.
Gu Jinxing patiently explained the Xu family's situation to Shen Wancheng.
"Xu Youwei and his wife only had one son, Xu Yaozu, which is why Xu Yaozu died and his personality changed drastically. Xu Youwei also had two younger brothers, each with two children, only one of whom was a daughter, Xu Zi, with whom you had a conflict."
"The three Xu brothers originally had a very good relationship, especially Xu Youwei, who treated Xu Zi as his own daughter. However, after Xu Yaozu died, according to the investigation, Xu Youwei suspected that his two younger brothers were responsible, so he regarded his two younger brothers' families as enemies, and now the internal strife in the Xu family is very intense."
Shen Wancheng asked, "Are the older generation of the Xu family still alive?"
“Xu Youwei’s father is still alive, but the Xu family business and most of the shares have been handed over to Xu Youwei. Old Master Xu doesn’t have much say. With the shares held by his two younger sons, he can only barely stand against Xu Youwei.”
Shen Wancheng kept Gu Jinxing's words in mind and suddenly noticed one of Gu Jinxing's statements: Xu Youwei and his wife only have one son, Xu Yaozu.
Is that...?
Shen Wancheng directly voiced the question that had been on her mind.
"You said Xu Youwei and his wife only have one son, does that mean Xu Youwei also has illegitimate children?"
"Well, but it's not certain. Even Xu Youwei himself only suspects it. Originally, I didn't care about the Xu family's affairs, but since we all suspect Xu Youwei did it today, I also plan to get involved in the Xu family's affairs. I've already sent people to investigate Xu Youwei's illegitimate child."
Gu Jinxing's words implied that if it was confirmed that Xu Youwei was responsible for what happened this afternoon, he might use this illegitimate child to his advantage and retaliate against Xu Youwei.
Although this might be unfair to the illegitimate child, we can find the illegitimate child and then see how to deal with Xu Youwei. If the illegitimate child is a normal person, we can handle the matter in a way that benefits the illegitimate child.
Shen Wan clarified Chu Gu Jinxing's plan and agreed with it, only explaining that...
"Okay, you should let me know if you make any progress."
