The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion

Chapter 354 - 367: Oh my heavens, I’m going to have a son.

Han Xi thought for a moment and then said, "From now on, you can’t wear high heels anymore, and you should switch to maternity-specific cosmetics. You also need to pay attention to your diet."Chu Ci gently touched her flat belly with a smile, "Why do I feel like you’re more nervous than I am?"

"I’m the child’s godmother, of course I’m nervous."

"I’ll call Manman and let her know. I’ll be waiting for you at home at noon."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Chu Ci called Li Manman to tell her about the baby.

Li Manman was still lazing in bed, and when she heard Chu Ci say she was pregnant, she sat up in surprise.

"Oh my god, I’m going to have a son!"

Listening to Li Manman’s exaggerated voice over the phone, Chu Ci couldn’t help but laugh.

Chu Ci said Han Xi would be buying some maternity books at noon and bringing them over, and suggested she get up too.

After hanging up, Li Manman got up, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and called Han Xi to ask for a list of daily essentials for pregnant women and babies, saying she was going on a shopping spree.

Although Han Xi is a doctor, she’s not too familiar with pregnant women and newborns.

She specifically went to the OB/GYN department to ask a doctor and made a list based on their recommendations to send to Li Manman.

.....

After finishing work at noon, Han Xi took a taxi directly to Chu Ci’s villa.

When she arrived, Li Manman was just moving things, bags upon bags, practically bringing the entire mall with her.

"Xiao Xi, come over and help."

Li Manman waved at Han Xi, "There’s a lot in the trunk."

Han Xi opened the car trunk and was speechless, "Manman, there’s no way my list had this many things. The child doesn’t need toys yet. Why did you buy all this?"

Li Manman, struggling with a few bags but beaming, said, "I thought they were nice, so I bought them all back. Anyway, the child won’t run away from my belly; they’ll be used eventually."

This reasoning does seem flawless.

The two of them carried over a dozen bags into the villa without even changing their shoes, heading straight to the living room.

"Why buy so much?"

Chu Ci looked at the bags on the sofa; inside were not only maternity items but also many baby essentials, even clothes for when the child was two or three years old.

"What are you two doing? You might as well bring the whole mall back."

Han Xi took a sip from the water on the coffee table, waving her hand repeatedly, "I just took a taxi here after work. Manman bought all of this."

Li Manman took off her jacket, breathing unevenly from exhaustion, "The more I looked, the more I liked, so I bought it all. They’ll be useful in the future anyway."

Aunt Li came out of the kitchen, setting lunch on the dining table, "Miss Chu, lunch is ready."

"Mm, I know, Aunt Li."

Chu Ci stood up from the sofa, "Let’s go eat."

The three sat at the dining table, and Han Xi hesitated before speaking, "Are you sure you want to raise the child alone?"

"Aren’t there the two of you?"

Chu Ci smiled nonchalantly, "I only wanted the child; I never expected the other party to take responsibility."

"Anyway, you don’t even know who the child’s father is, so don’t worry, Xiao Xi and I are here."

Li Manman let out a long sigh, feeling like Chu Ci was getting the short end of the stick, having had a relationship without even knowing what the other person looked like.
