"Yeah." Cheng Nuo nodded, "I ate late in the afternoon, so I'm not hungry."
"Then I'll prepare some midnight snacks and serve them later." He Zikai said that since she didn't want to eat, he wouldn't force her, but he was just worried that she would be hungry in the middle of the night.
"Hmm..." Cheng Nuo responded.
Watching He Zikai leave the bedroom, until the bedroom door closed, Cheng Nuo walked to the sofa and sat down, staring blankly in front of him, lost in thought.
He Zikai's attitude and feelings towards him seemed to be the same as before and had never changed. He didn't find anything wrong in his words and actions just now.
Such confirmation made Cheng Nuo very happy, but the scene in the shopping mall that afternoon...
Cheng Nuo calmed down and thought about it. He had been paying attention to that woman all afternoon and thought that He Zikai was related to that woman. However, these were just his guesses. Maybe that woman was not the woman He Zikai raised outside. She might be him.
It’s not necessarily a cousin from a relative’s family. Some girls rely on their cousins for some intimate actions.
Using this reason, Cheng Nuo convinced himself, and he felt much better instantly. He no longer wanted to find an opportunity to ask He Zikai, and his most important concern now was the child in his belly.
He gently touched his belly with his hand. Although there was no bulge there yet, and the doctor said it was less than two months old, in Cheng Nuo's view, that little life had already greeted him.
With a happy smile on his face, Cheng Nuo thought, if Zi Kai knew that he was pregnant and that he was going to be a father, would he be surprised? Very happy?
…
He Zikai was eating downstairs. After eating, he found some of Cheng Nuo's favorite foods in the refrigerator, put them on a plate as a midnight snack, and prepared to take them upstairs.
At this time, He Zikai's cell phone rang.
He Zikai's hands stopped when he was about to carry the plate, and then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket. When he saw it, the word "yingzi" was displayed on it.
He Zikai frowned slightly, feeling a little confused. Why was Yingzi calling at this time?
Finally, He Zikai answered the phone, "Yingzi..."
"Kai..." Liu Ziying cried out on the other end of the phone.
When He Zikai heard something was wrong with Liu Ziying's voice, he frowned even more and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Kai, come and stay with me, okay?" Liu Ziying cried longer and continued, "I'm scared alone, wuwu..."
He Zikai panicked when he heard this.
It was just her first day back, and she was living alone at night. She must be afraid. A weak and timid girl like her must be hiding in a corner crying alone at this moment. She was so scared that she called herself.
"Yingzi, don't cry yet." He Zikai tried his best to calm her panic and comfort her.
"Kai, come here, okay? I'm really scared by myself." Liu Ziying said, with a girl's panicked trembling in her voice.
"Okay, just stay at home and I'll be there right away." He Zikai didn't think much about it and finally agreed.
"Well, I'm waiting for you. Come as soon as possible." Liu Ziying suddenly became excited when she heard He Zikai agreed.
"Um……"
He Zikai hung up the phone and then thought of Cheng Nuo upstairs, and suddenly felt extremely sad.
If he goes to Yingzi's place, wouldn't Nuo'er be alone at home?
It has become a habit to hold Nuo'er to sleep every night. I never thought about being separated from Nuo'er, let alone leaving Nuo'er alone at home.
But just now, when I heard Yingzi crying, I only thought about Yingzi's feelings for a moment.
…
He Zikai walked into the bedroom carrying a plate, saw Cheng Nuo sitting on the sofa watching TV, and walked straight over.
Cheng Nuo saw He Zikai coming over and stood up happily. When He Zikai put the plate on the coffee table, he couldn't wait to snuggle into his arms.
"Ah Kai." Cheng Nuo called out affectionately, having already decided to tell him about the child.
"Yeah." He Zikai thought that Cheng Nuo was relying on him as usual, so he didn't notice the joy in her eyes, and just said softly, "Sit down first, I have something to tell you."
"..." Cheng Nuo was startled. He had something to tell him?
"Oh." Cheng Nuoying shrugged with a cute and cute look, thinking to himself, let him talk first, and then tell him that she was pregnant after he finished.
He Zikai and Cheng Nuo sat down on the sofa. He Zikai took Cheng Nuo's hand and prepared in his mind for a long time before he reluctantly said it.
"Nuo'er, I have something urgent to do in a minute and may have to go out." He Zikai said.
"..." Cheng Nuo looked a little surprised, "You still want to go out so late?"
He Zikai nodded, "Well, I have something to do temporarily."
Cheng Nuo didn't say anything. Thinking that He Zikai was leaving soon, he suddenly felt less happy than before.
He Zikai touched Cheng Nuo's cheek with one hand and said lovingly, "If you are hungry, have some late-night snacks and go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me to come back."
He Zikai couldn't bear to let this woman stay up late waiting for him to come back.
"Then will you come back tonight?" Cheng Nuo asked hurriedly, making a plan in his heart. If he said he wouldn't come back, he would go with him. Wouldn't he just stay up all night? He could do it. The worst he could do was ask for leave tomorrow.
Take a day off at home.
"Come back." He Zikai said firmly. He had never thought about spending the night at Yingzi's place.
After a pause, He Zikai continued, "I just don't know if I'll be back early or late, so you go to bed first and don't have to wait for me, okay?"
He Zikai knew that this woman was sometimes a bit stubborn, so he told her not to wait for him, lest it was too late and she would feel uncomfortable from staying up late.
After hearing what He Zikai said, Cheng Nuo had nothing to worry about.
"Yeah, I know." Cheng Nuo felt very reluctant when he thought about He Zikai leaving soon, so he stretched his head over and put it on his shoulder, "I'll go to bed when I feel sleepy soon. You're busy."
You must come back early after you finish."
"Okay..." He Zikai hugged Cheng Nuo, wanting to enjoy this atmosphere more.
Cheng Nuo stayed like this quietly for a while, and suddenly realized that what he wanted to say had not been told to He Zikai.
Immediately, Cheng Nuo immediately left He Zikai, sat up straight, and looked at He Zikai with a happy look.
He Zikai looked at the smiling Cheng Nuo in front of him, wondering what was going on?
"What's wrong?" He Zikai asked, worried that something was wrong with her.
"Ah Kai." Cheng Nuo tried his best to keep his tone calm.
"Huh?" He Zikai responded.
"I want to tell you something, you must listen carefully." Before Cheng Nuo said it, he wanted to prepare He Zikai mentally. (To be continued)
