Marital problems spiral out of control

Wen Hua's nausea and vomiting became even more pronounced.

But Fu Shishen was still trying to appease Wen Hua: "It's okay, Huahua, if it's not suitable, we'll find someone else. There are countless chefs, but if he makes you and my son uncomfortable, I'll make sure he can't work in this industry."

A gentle yet chilling tone.

Wen Hua clenched her fists tightly, but dared not move.

Fu Shishen watched indifferently, the ruthlessness in his eyes deeply hidden.

Its surface is as smooth and warm as jade.

Soon, the maid had tidied up the master bedroom.

Wen Hua suppressed her racing heartbeat and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Since you can't eat, I'll take you out to eat. Don't you have a prenatal checkup appointment later?" Fu Shishen casually changed the subject.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give Wen Hua a chance to refuse and took her hand and walked out directly.

When Wen Hua was held by Fu Shishen, her fingertips curled.

That's a conflict.

Fu Shishen remained expressionless as he slowly pried Wen Hua's hands apart, his rough, hard fingers forcefully weaving through her fingers.

He took Wen Hua into the car.

The car was heading towards the hospital.

Wen Hua's prenatal checkup went smoothly; the baby was 20 weeks along and was nestled safely in her womb.

A clear image of the fetus can be seen on the ultrasound machine.

Hearing the sound of the little train, and seeing the baby moving inside her belly.

Wen Hua's eyes were a little sore.

This was the first time I felt the power of life, the child I had so longed for.

It just came at the wrong time.

Even so, Wen Hua vowed to protect the child.

She stared intently at the screen.

Out of the corner of her eye, however, her gaze fell on Fu Shishen.

The tall figure stood still, looking somewhat aloof.

"Do you want to know the gender?" the doctor suddenly asked Wen Hua.

Wen Hua was about to nod and agree, because she believed that knowing the gender would make it easier to prepare things for the child.

Fu Shishen spoke first, and his tone was extremely indifferent: "No need."

The doctor was taken aback, but since Fu Shishen had said that, he couldn't say anything more: "That's true, it'll be even more of a surprise to find out the gender during delivery."

Wen Hua swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

The previous excitement seemed to vanish suddenly, replaced by a quiet and oppressive atmosphere.

Wen Hua knew he didn't care, so she didn't want to waste time listening and wouldn't offer any emotional value.

Even now, it's all a product of exchanging interests.

"There's nothing else wrong, just regular prenatal checkups. The baby is very healthy," the doctor said, easing the tension.

"Thank you," Wen Hua replied politely.

The doctor handed Wen Hua a tissue and helped her wipe the coupling gel off her body.

Before Wen Hua could even take the tissue, Fu Shishen intercepted her halfway.

Then the man bent down and carefully wiped the coupling gel off Wen Hua's stomach.

The first thing Wen Hua saw was Fu Shishen's eyes.

As if sensing Wen Hua's gaze, Fu Shishen looked up at her, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Her heart started racing instantly.

She had longed for this scene for a long time.

When she was pregnant, Fu Shishen accompanied her to prenatal checkups and listened to the baby's heartbeat together.

When it suddenly came true, she wasn't excited, but rather nervous.

Because she didn't know what Fu Shishen was going to do.

"I...I can do it myself." Wen Hua's voice trembled.

"I'll do it," Fu Shishen said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Shishen wiped the last piece of coupling gel clean.

He threw the tissue into the trash can.

Wen Hua had already sat up.

Fu Shishen wrapped his arm around Wen Hua's waist. Wen Hua tried to dodge, but she was within his range of influence and could not escape.

"Fu Shishen, what exactly are you trying to do?" Wen Hua couldn't help but look up and question Fu Shishen.

Fu Shishen just stared at Wen Hua.

Wen Hua didn't flinch, but she couldn't discern the man's true thoughts from his eyes.

Suddenly, Fu Shishen smiled.

Wen Hua was slightly stunned, unable to react.

Fu Shishen held her chin, his previous ruthlessness replaced by a hint of mockery.

Fu Shishen lowered his head and moved closer to Wen Hua.

His nasal bridge pressed against Wen Hua's nose tip, and the two became intimate.

"I'm just trying to coax you, to make you behave and stop going against me all the time," Fu Shishen said, enunciating each word clearly.

His thin lips brushed against Wen Hua's lips unintentionally, feeling slightly cool.

He didn't go any further and stopped there.

Under that gaze, Wen Hua felt a little dazed.

It seems they've been bewitched by Fu Shishen.

She quickly pushed Fu Shishen away: "Fu Shishen, I'm a person of my word. If you can do it, I won't cause any trouble and I'll give birth to this child safely."

After saying that, Wen Hua quickly walked forward, genuinely afraid that something might happen.

Fu Shishen looked at his empty hand and indifferently resumed his one-handed pocket hand position.

His gaze sharpened considerably when he looked at Wen Hua again.

Soon, Fu Shishen calmly followed.

As the two walked out of the maternity ward, they saw Jiang Ruan, accompanied by her assistant, appear there.

Wen Hua and Jiang Ruan became pregnant at the same time, so their prenatal checkups were naturally at the same time.

They even had the same doctor.

It's only natural that we'd run into each other at the hospital now.

"Shi Shen..." Jiang Ruan called out to Fu Shi Shen.

Then she looked at Wen Hua with concern: "Miss Wen, Shi Shen was really worried about you when you suddenly ran away that day."

"How worried were you?" Wen Hua lowered her head, then suddenly laughed, before looking up at Jiang Ruan. "Worried that she left Miss Jiang's birthday party without a care in the world, leaving Miss Jiang utterly humiliated?"

Jiang Ruan's expression changed instantly.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Wen Hua had never dared to speak ill of herself in front of Fu Shishen before.

But she is an actress after all, and she can adjust her emotions immediately.

"Yes. I'm so sorry, it was my oversight that made me insist on having Shi Shen come to my birthday party." Jiang Ruan took all the blame upon herself. "If something really happened to you, I would feel guilty for a long time."

Wen Hua did not respond.

Jiang Ruan's hypocrisy is something she can never learn in her lifetime.

Moreover, she didn't want to get entangled with Jiang Ruan here.

"Oh, right, I just found out that it was also your birthday that day. I prepared a gift to express my apologies." Jiang Ruan suddenly remembered something, "but I just haven't found a suitable opportunity, nor have I been able to meet Shi Shen to have him bring it to you. Fortunately, I always carry it with me, so I'll give it to you today."

With that, Jiang Ruan said sincerely, "Happy birthday, Miss Wen."

As soon as Jiang Ruan finished speaking, the assistant took out the gift.

It's part of the Hermès order allocation.

Her posture was like that of a woman in a yin-yang harmony, where she was merely a substitute.

Jiang Ruan personally handed the gift to Wen Hua.

Wen Hua looked down at the gift, and the moment Jiang Ruan let go, she also let go.
