The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion

Chapter 386 - 399: Truly, pregnancy makes one silly for 3 years, you haven’t even given birth yet...

After leaving the hospital, Chu Ci was about to drive her own car back, but Fu Bin suddenly took her keys: "Get in my car, why are you driving when your stomach hurts?""Why should I take your car? Give me back the keys."

"Because I’m the father of the child in your belly, it’s my duty to take care of you and the baby. Get in the car quickly."

Fu Bin opened the front passenger door: "If you don’t get in, I’ll have to carry you in."

"You’re crazy." Chu Ci frowned and glared at Fu Bin before reluctantly getting in the car.

Fu Bin walked around the front of the car, sat in the passenger seat, and leaned over to Chu Ci’s side.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Ci nervously retreated, looking warily at the man who was so close.

With a hint of helplessness in his smile, Fu Bin said, "They say pregnancy makes you silly for three years. You haven’t even given birth yet... you didn’t fasten your seatbelt."

After helping Chu Ci fasten her seatbelt, Fu Bin returned to the driver’s seat, turned the steering wheel, and got onto the main road: "You were overthinking it."

Fu Bin held the steering wheel with one hand, resting his other hand on the window, a smile in his deep-set eyes.

"You’ve probably heard the saying ’It’s good to be cautious.’ I’m just being proactive."

"If I had any bad intentions, I would have already acted on them. Honestly, you’re quite silly."

In such a short time, Fu Bin had already called Chu Ci foolish twice. She looked at him indignantly from the passenger seat: "I must be silly to get involved with you."

"You’re not losing out by getting involved with me. Many women would dream of it."

"You do have quite a high opinion of yourself."

Fu Bin turned to look at Chu Ci, a smile lighting up his chiseled features: "Didn’t you think I was handsome back then, and that’s why you got involved with me?"

"I don’t want to talk to you. Just drive; my stomach still hurts."

Chu Ci couldn’t find the right words to retort, so she changed the subject to avoid awkwardness.

When they got home, Chu Ci changed her shoes and asked Aunt Li to prepare a hot water bottle for her before going to her bedroom.

She took a set of home clothes from the wardrobe and changed, then lay down directly on the bed.

Touching her still-flat belly, she whispered to herself: "You scared Mommy just now, I thought I was going to lose you."

The bedroom door was knocked, and Fu Bin’s voice came from outside: "I’m coming in."

"Mm, come in."

Chu Ci sat up on the bed: "What’s up?"

"I brought you a hot water bottle and some freshly warmed milk. It’ll help you feel better."

Chu Ci took the hot water bottle from Fu Bin and placed it on her stomach: "Just leave the milk on the table. I’ll drink it in a bit."

"I’ll watch you drink it before I leave."

"You’re really becoming more and more controlling now," Chu Ci muttered under her breath, sounding like a quiet grumble.

She reluctantly took the cup of milk and sipped a few times, suddenly feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit but unable to bring anything up.

"What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Fu Bin leaned down, gently soothing Chu Ci’s back.

"It’s nothing, I just feel a bit nauseous. It’s probably a normal pregnancy reaction."

As Chu Ci was drinking the milk, she accidentally got some milk at the corner of her mouth. Fu Bin instinctively raised his hand to wipe it off for her.

The gentle touch startled Chu Ci, and when she lifted her gaze, it met Fu Bin’s eyes in midair.

"Um... You should go out. I want to rest for a bit."
