Chapter 6 The Truth
The family doctor quickly comes to arrange the check-up.
The moment I get the pregnancy report, I feel like I'm floating.
My eyes stay fixed on my still-flat stomach for a long time.
Xie Nanchen and I never deliberately avoided pregnancy.
We just let nature take its course.
The arrival of this child should have made us ecstatic.
But it just had to happen when his father has amnesia.
It's really laughable and exasperating at the same time.
While Mom is still happy, she looks around.
"It's such a good day—where did Nanchen go?"
As soon as she speaks, it's like a switch is flipped. The barrage floods in one after another.
【He's in the back garden fighting the male lead!】
【Punch after punch, eyes red—this is straight-up wanting to kill each other.】
【If it were me I couldn't stand it either. Male lead, what were you doing all this time? Now you want the second male lead to return the female lead to you? Disgusting.】
【I'm dying—the second male lead hits too hard, like he's facing his father's killer. The male lead is stunned.】
【Male lead: Clearly you stole my person, yet you're acting like I stole yours.】
Mom is about to send a servant to find him, but I stop her.
"No need. I'll go. I can give him a surprise."
At the entrance to the back garden, I run straight into Xie Nanchen, who is radiating low pressure.
I immediately protect my stomach and complain:
"Where did you go?"
He avoids my gaze, looks elsewhere—conveniently blocking the injury on the right side of his face.
"Just looking at the scenery."
His tone is vague.
I crane my neck to look outside. Xie Nanchen quickly grabs my shoulders and turns me around.
"It's windy out there. Not good for you. Let's go back first."
Look at him.
He doesn't even call me wife anymore.
Speaking in neat four-word phrases.
Pretending to be aloof now?
I glare at him and walk out on my own.
On the way home, the car is especially quiet.
Like the calm before a storm.
Xie Nanchen goes into the study and doesn't come out all night.
I don't bother him.
If he has the ability, he can hide from me forever.
What surprises me is that he gives me a complete pregnancy nanny-level guide.
It covers everything from confirmation of pregnancy to postpartum confinement precautions.
"You stayed up all night just to make this?"
Seeing the faint blue under his eyes, I feel a little distressed.
The anxiety and loss caused by his amnesia all disappear in this moment.
He's changed, yet nothing has really changed.
Xie Nanchen looks a little uncomfortable. "Didn't take much time."
【Heh, who was looking up references and papers until dawn?】
【Heh, who woke up his assistant in the middle of the night to collect a hundred moms' pregnancy experiences?】
【Second male lead: The people have not yet slept. Assistant: ?】
I touch my lower abdomen, my heart softens. I can't bear to lie to him anymore.
"Actually…"
