The fetus seemed to sense Guo Xuyang’s gaze and slowly opened its eyes.
At this moment, Guo Xuyang felt as if he were seeing his past self, his gaze incredibly profound.
Is this my child? Guo Xuyang’s heart trembled.
He felt the restraints lessen, almost able to break through.
He wondered what kind of monstrous talent this child would grow into.
“Why are you so thin?” Guo Xuyang transmitted a signal to the fetus through his senses.
It was like communication between father and son.
The fetus actually grinned.
Then, the initially shriveled umbilical cord gradually became plump.
“Mm.” Ilena, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly grunted and then clutched her stomach as if in pain. “So painful.”
“What’s wrong, Ilena?” Guo Xuyang was startled and quickly withdrew his gaze.
“My stomach hurts so much,” Ilena said, gripping Guo Xuyang’s hand.
“Aren’t you about to give birth?”
“No. It feels like something is draining my blood,” Ilena shook her head.
Guo Xuyang quickly looked down and saw that the fetus’s small arms and legs had already become round and chubby in this short time. It seemed to be growing larger.
“Alright, I know you’re amazing, stop it now.” Guo Xuyang released his senses.
The fetus, perhaps sensing Guo Xuyang’s anger, pouted its small lips, about to cry.
“This is your mother, you must not harm her, understand?”
The fetus seemed to truly understand Guo Xuyang’s words and nodded slightly.
“Stay put inside, don’t torment your mother anymore. Understand?”
The fetus nodded again.
Guo Xuyang looked at Ilena, who was watching him curiously.
“What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I feel like the little thing inside is moving.
Can you see him? Is it a boy or a girl?”
“No. I think your stomach has gotten much smaller,” Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
“It really has! I also feel a bit thinner. It’s not as uncomfortable. This is truly magical.”
Ilena patted her belly.
“Was it because of the stomachache just now?”
“I don’t know.” Guo Xuyang said this, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
Could the child in her womb absorb nutrients from the mother like Kasa?
Guo Xuyang suddenly remembered his promise to Fatty to help him lose weight.
He had been so busy these past few days that he had completely forgotten about it.
Pi Xiaoqian hadn’t reminded him either.
He had to get this done quickly after Brother Hui’s wedding, he thought to himself.
“We’re here at the hospital, shall we go in?” Yezi said after parking the car.
“Slow down, Ilena. I’ll help you get out first,” Li Minxi said.
“It’s okay, I’ll get out slowly,” Ilena said, slowly opening the car door.
Yezi had already gotten out and was standing outside, reaching out to help Ilena.
The four of them entered the hospital and found a doctor.
“First, let’s do an ultrasound. How many months pregnant are you?”
“I’m not really sure.” Ilena didn’t dare to tell the truth, afraid of frightening the doctor.
“How can you be a mother like this? You don’t even know when you got pregnant.” The doctor reprimanded her.
“I have no experience. I only realized I was pregnant when my belly gradually got bigger later on,” Ilena explained.
“Is this your first child? How old are you?”
“It’s my first, I’m twenty-five this year.”
“Judging by your appearance, the fetus must be seven or eight months old. Let’s do an ultrasound first.”
“Okay, thank you, Doctor.”
“You’re welcome. First, go to the cashier to pay, then go to the ultrasound room on the first floor to queue. After it’s done, bring it to me, and I’ll take a look.”
Guo Xuyang took the medical card to the cashier to pay, while Yezi and Li Minxi helped Ilena to queue at the ultrasound room.
There weren’t many people in the ultrasound room, and they were done quickly.
The four of them found the doctor again.
“Doctor, please take a look, is everything alright?”
“The fetus is very healthy, about nine months old.”
The doctor took the ultrasound images and looked at them.
“Be mindful of your diet when you get back, the fetus is a bit big.
Exercise frequently, walk more. If the fetus is too big, it will be hard on the mother.
There’s nothing else you need to worry about.”
“Thank you, Doctor. Are there any precautions for when I give birth?”
“All of this information is available online. You can find it by searching online.
The hospital will provide you with a baby delivery kit, which contains items for the infant.
If you don’t want to use the hospital’s, you can prepare your own.”
“Thank you! Thank you!” Ilena thanked them repeatedly.
“You’re welcome. Next, please.” The doctor ushered them out.
The Maternal and Child Health Hospital was crowded.
It seemed like nothing was easy.
Before the four of them could even sit down after returning home, Xiao Yun’s call came through.
“Yang Zi, where are you now? Auntie and I were scammed at a boutique store.”
“We just got home. Where are you? Send me your location. What exactly happened?”
“It’s hard to explain over the phone. Hurry up and come take a look.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there right away.”
As Guo Xuyang spoke, he turned to ask Yezi to bring the car around.
“Yezi, you come with me to the Shan Lan clothing boutique. Xiao Xi, stay home with Ilena.”
“What? Calling for backup? Even if the King of Heaven himself showed up, you’d still have to pay.”
A young man twirled a lighter in his hand and said dismissively.
If Guo Xuyang were there, he would have recognized this young man as Wang Hu, whom he had dealt with before.
“Why are you being so unreasonable?
You dropped your watch on the ground yourself, why should we pay you?” Xiao Yun shouted angrily.
“I dropped it myself? If that old man hadn’t bumped into me, would my watch have fallen? Shall we check the surveillance footage?”
“Regardless of whether we check the footage or not, how could your watch have been dropped by us?”
“How would I know? All I know is that the old man bumped into me and caused my watch to fall to the ground.
This watch isn’t expensive, only about ten million. It’s custom-made.
Since you’ve played with it for a while, I’ll give you a discount. Just pay me eight million.”
As they were arguing, Guo Xuyang arrived with Yezi.
“Mom, Dad, Uncle, Auntie, what’s going on?”
“This young man says your aunt knocked his watch off and wants us to pay him eight million,” Wu Shangqing said.
“Eight million? Just give it to him. It’s no big deal,” Guo Xuyang said.
“No. The main thing is that your aunt didn’t touch this young man’s watch at all.
He’s deliberately trying to extort money,” Guo Yixiang said.
Guo Xuyang turned and glanced at the young man: “Oh? It’s you again?”
“Mr. Guo, you know him?”
Wang Hu was greatly surprised, not expecting the world to be so small.
“You’re young, are your ears deaf? Didn’t you hear what we were saying just now?” Guo Xuyang asked disdainfully.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Mr. Guo. I really didn’t know they were your relatives. I was wrong, I was wrong.” Wang Hu apologized profusely.
