Chapter 312 - 290: As Long as You’re Willing, I Can Be Your Bride Today (6)
Xiaoxiao originally didn’t pay much attention to those words, thinking about finding some shop to walk into and buy something casually.However, Mo Ming was deep in thought because of those words. He had heard that childbirth was painful, but he hadn’t heard about the process and didn’t understand how painful it really was.
He couldn’t help but look at Xiaoxiao’s big belly, so big that he felt it might crush her. She was already small in stature, and her belly seemed to take up half of her weight. At the time, it might be as the older woman had said, only a cesarean section?
This silly woman, knowing how painful pregnancy and childbirth are, why did she insist on keeping the child back then? Moreover, his attitude was so bad, yet she didn’t resent him at all. When they met again, she shyly looked at him and smiled, how could he harden his heart to hurt her?
"I want to go in and have a look... you can wait outside."
Mo Ming glanced at the resting area she pointed out, walked straight past it, and followed her inside.
"When is the due date?"
His abrupt question left Xiaoxiao stunned for a moment. She then reacted and sneakily glanced at him, hiding her happy emotions, and answered, "...the beginning of the year."
He was caring about the child.
Although he hadn’t said many words along the way and his tone was always cold, Xiaoxiao was very content. At least she saw his change; he patiently accompanied her shopping all afternoon, paid for everything, and thoughtfully carried the stuff himself.
He didn’t say anything pleasant, but his actions were enough to make her feel favored.
"I’m sorry for taking up your whole afternoon."
He didn’t respond, driving his car with a cold expression.
As a professional race car driver, it was rare for him to drive so smoothly. She usually felt car-sick after getting pregnant, but today riding in his car, she felt nothing, perhaps because her attention was entirely on him.
The car steadily stopped at the Shen family’s house. Xiaoxiao clumsily got out with her belly. Mo Ming got out of the car himself and went to the trunk to take out her belongings, all of which were baby supplies.
He initially wanted to send her inside, but the Shen family’s butler came out and hurriedly took those things.
Xiaoxiao slowly got out of the car, "Thank you..."
Mo Ming just nodded lightly, turned around, and was about to leave. Xiaoxiao bit her lip, gathered her courage, and said, "It’s getting late, why don’t you come inside for a meal..."
He paused and then looked back at her. They looked at each other for quite a while. Seeing her expecting gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He simply said, "Another day, I have something to do today."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, "Okay!"
Mo Ming turned and got into his car without saying anything else, only seeing the woman outside walking up a step, telling him through the window, "Drive safely."
As the car drove away, his gaze remained on the rearview mirror. The woman was still standing there, her eyes following his car...
He let out a light sigh, unable to explain his feelings. He didn’t dislike it, that feeling of being needed and cared for.
When she was no longer visible in the rearview mirror, Mo Ming couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
Xiaoxiao hopped into the house. The butler followed her, urgently reminding her to be careful, then asked, "Xiaoxiao, who is that young man?"
Xiaoxiao smiled without answering, her mood rising quickly.
