My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 379 - 380 Fetal Movement

Chapter 379: Chapter 380 Fetal Movement

Bai Wuheng was completely unaware of Lin Fuying’s utter disdain for him.

He was even more ignorant of the fact that what he considered wholehearted devotion, was seen by Lin Fuying as nothing but a burden.

Bai Wuheng, seeing her weary expression, did not linger for long.

However, before leaving, he still made sure to repeatedly admonish those attending to her to take good care of Lin Fuying.

Only after Bai Wuheng left the courtyard did Lin Fuying finally drop the act.

"What a nuisance!"

She had thought that Bai Wuheng’s visit might at least be of some help.

Who would have known he would be so utterly useless?

Not only did he fail to assist her, but he also just knew how to add to her troubles.

Dong Yue, who was serving by her side, seeing the resentment on her face, could not help but feel indignant on Bai Wuheng’s behalf in her heart.

After all, Bai Divine Doctor’s reputation was distinguished.

Yet, whenever Lin Fuying had the slightest headache or fever, he would drop everything and come to the Prince Residence.

It was a pity that Lin Fuying did not know how to appreciate him.

"What’s the use of standing there in a daze! Hurry up and call Xiaoyun over!"

Because the incident had occurred so suddenly, Ye Yunting hadn’t ordered Xiaoyun to be confined.

Until everything was clear, Xiaoyun could still serve by her side, although she couldn’t leave the Prince Residence.

It was impossible to predict when Ye Yunting might uncover the truth.

Before then, she had to be prepared.

...

After arranging for the old nurse to stay at the War King Residence, Chu Nanli did not continue to pay attention to the situation there.

After all, given that guy Ye Yunting’s trust in Lin Fuying, the old nurse’s testimony would not be decisive without further evidence.

All of this was naturally within Chu Nanli’s expectations.

She now had more important matters at hand.

"Has the Prince been unoccupied recently?"

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to have seen Ye Jiuxiao too frequently these days.

"Wasn’t it you who said there were many things to attend to at the Infant Care Hall? Since I am involved, of course I should keep an eye on it," Ye Jiuxiao replied, raising an eyebrow.

Even when being directly scrutinized by Chu Nanli, his expression remained indifferent.

"Don’t tell me you wish I hadn’t gotten involved?"

Chu Nanli blurted out without thinking, "How could that be? I’m not the kind to be arbitrary and autocratic."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw an amused smile spread across Ye Jiuxiao’s face.

That man was really something.

It seemed that he ran all the way here just to tease her.

Seeing her smile, a touch of amusement also appeared on Ye Jiuxiao’s face.

The truth was, he was doing this because he had recently acquired some medical books from Physician Lin.

They stated that during pregnancy, women were most susceptible to anxious thoughts around the time Chu Nanli was currently in.

He was worried about Chu Nanli, and that’s why he made sure to come over whenever he could.

Although Chu Nanli was unaware of this, she could vaguely sense Ye Jiuxiao’s care for her.

"However, if you didn’t come to watch over me, who knows? One of these days, I might be sold off and still help count the money for them," she joked, shaking her head with a smile.

Just as she thought of something and was about to get up, she failed to notice the protruding brick before her.

Ye Jiuxiao, quicker to notice, was by her side.

"Be careful!" he exclaimed, reaching out to support her without a second thought.

His hand landed precisely on her waist.

Despite being pregnant, due to good maintenance, her figure from the back still resembled that of a young girl.

She had inevitably gained some weight around her waist recently, making the feeling to the touch even more perfect.

Ye Jiuxiao had only intended to give her a brief support when he felt the sensation from his hand and hesitated to let go for a moment.

Before Chu Nanli had a chance to speak, her attention was diverted to the movement in her abdomen.

She couldn’t help but grab Ye Jiuxiao’s other hand, "He, he’s moving!"

"What?"

Ye Jiuxiao was rarely caught off guard, but it took a moment for him to realize that Chu Nanli was referring to the child in her womb.

"Really?"

"Truly, he’s kicking me right now!"

Although Chu Nanli was well-versed in all sorts of knowledge about pregnancy,

It was still different from experiencing it firsthand.

She could now truly feel a little life thriving and growing inside her.

This joy was incomparable to any other.

"Would you like to feel it? He’s really strong..."

Chu Nanli was so overjoyed that she subconsciously wanted to take Ye Jiuxiao’s hand to feel the baby’s movement.

Just then, Yanyan came in with a box of snacks.

"Master, the pastries you wanted... I didn’t see anything!"

In her panic, Yanyan almost spilled what she was carrying.

What had she seen!

Her own mistress and the Prince being so affectionate, could it really mean good news was on the horizon?

Chu Nanli quickly let go of his hand.

She had been so excited that she’d momentarily forgotten the nature of her relationship with Ye Jiuxiao.

The two of them were obviously not that close yet.

She called out to Yanyan, "Come back here, I almost fell just now, and the Prince simply gave me a hand."

As for the other little details, she chose to skip over them for now.

Yanyan always took her word for anything.

Now, hearing Chu Nanli’s explanation, she completely believed her mistress’s words.

Fortunately, it was only Yanyan who had witnessed that scene.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have been so easily fooled.

This thought caused Chu Nanli to throw another glance toward Ye Jiuxiao.

"It’s getting late, shouldn’t you be heading back, Prince?"

The hint to leave was so clear that Ye Jiuxiao was not one to miss it.

But before he left, he still gazed into Chu Nanli’s eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Actually, I don’t care about the child’s background."

"This is my child alone, and has nothing to do with anyone else."

Chu Nanli understood his meaning, but she still did not respond directly.

He shook his head with a smile, "Well then, if you run out of anything, just send someone to tell me. Take good care of yourself."

Without waiting for Chu Nanli’s response, he gently ruffled her hair before turning to leave.

Only after his figure had disappeared from her sight did Chu Nanli mutter, "This guy, really..."

She didn’t dwell on it any longer but soon called Yanyan back in and had her bring over some writing materials.

The messenger from the Communications Pavilion had delivered news yesterday.

Her family had also received the message.

Now, Chu Nanli’s task was to convey her situation here to her family in simple terms.

Of course, she would not mention any of the bad.

She would only say that she had encountered some trouble and couldn’t return for the time being, and that it would be even better if her family could send some people to help.

Remembering the indulgence of her family from the original owner’s memories, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but shake her head.

Once her letter was sent, it would take at least four or five months to receive a response.

However, once the reply arrived, the support she was waiting for should also be delivered.

Of course, Chu Nanli was yet unaware that after receiving her letter, the original owner’s family had indeed prepared a big "surprise" for her.
