Chapter 704 - 714: Stalemate (9)
He gently kissed her hair, the movement was very light. It seemed like just holding her like this made him feel very satisfied....
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The atmosphere between the two had eased a bit.
Qiao Mo returned to the bed in the bedroom because she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him having to squeeze into such a small sofa with her every day and then have such a busy day the next day.
He always kept his promise, although he would sometimes still couldn’t resist kissing her.
But it was always just a light peck, and even before she could speak, he would already move away, never touching her again.
However, Fu Nancheng was still very busy, so busy that he left early and returned late, sometimes to the point where she couldn’t see his figure.
This morning was a weekend.
When Qiao Mo woke, it was already half past seven. She turned her head to look at the figure in the bathroom. Qiao Mo lightly took out her phone and checked the calendar.
Today was the day of the prenatal check-up; she wondered if he would have time.
She actually hoped he could accompany her.
Qiao Mo leaned against the headboard, staring blankly at the figure in the bathroom, not knowing what she was thinking.
After more than ten minutes, the bathroom door opened.
Fu Nancheng came out, wiping his hair, having just taken a cold shower.
There was no other way; he never had any resistance against Qiao Mo, even though he could restrain himself, some things were not under his control physiologically.
But the only comforting thing was probably that her attitude towards him had eased recently.
"Not going to sleep a little longer?" he asked warmly.
"Mm..." Qiao Mo responded lazily, feeling somewhat listless.
"What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you," he asked softly.
Qiao Mo shook her head, not speaking.
He glanced at her, saying softly, "I’ll come back early today, call me if anything comes up."
Qiao Mo nodded, and a sense of loss arose in Fu Nancheng’s heart.
Despite Qiao Mo’s attitude having eased during this period, she still never took the initiative to call him.
Even when he called her, she wouldn’t always answer.
Complicated emotions flashed in his eyes as he walked to her side and gently kissed her forehead.
Qiao Mo slightly lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat lost in her heart too.
It seemed that he didn’t have time to accompany her for the prenatal check-up.
He was very busy; lately, it was unprecedented and something that she couldn’t comprehend.
Qiao Mo remained sitting at the head of the bed in a daze, watching him start to change into his shirt and trousers.
In the end, she didn’t say anything more. After he went out to prepare breakfast for her, she gently touched her belly, "Little one, has Daddy forgotten you?"
Her belly was silent without any response. After a while, fearing the baby inside might feel resentful towards him, Qiao Mo couldn’t help but add, "But you mustn’t blame Daddy, Daddy is working very hard. Because Daddy has to earn lots and lots of money for your formula..."
After chatting to the baby for a while, Qiao Mo climbed out of bed and washed up.
Lately, getting up early for work had made her routine quite regular, so she woke up early even on weekends.
When she left the bedroom, Fu Nancheng happened to finish his tasks, came up and hugged her gently, saying, "Wait for me to come back."
"Mm..." Qiao Mo replied perfunctorily, pushing him aside and heading to the dining table.
The breakfast he prepared wasn’t very lavish, but it suited her taste more and more.
Qiao Mo ate quite a lot, only to feel that her belly was getting more pronounced lately, and now it was summer, fearing it would soon be hard to hide.
