Hiding her pregnant belly and leaving, the CEO's ex-husband cried red eyes

An Xia's eyes fell on the take-out box in Lu Beichuan's hand.

The transparent lid was fogged by the hot air.

Zhenbaozhai stopped producing its Hibiscus Pastry five years ago.

It was said that the only chef in the store who could make lotus cakes had gone back to his hometown and quit. At that time, An Xia was sad for a long time. Now, the taste has returned.

Lu Beichuan opened the package, put on disposable gloves, and gently pinched a piece and brought it to An Xia's mouth.

An Xia subconsciously turned her head and dodged instinctively.

Lu Beichuan's eyes darkened, and An Xia took the lotus pastry and ate it herself.

I took a bite and was pleasantly surprised.

It still tastes the same as before.

"Is it still made by the same master as before?"

Lu Beichuan's interest dropped a lot when An Xia dodged just now, but when he heard An Xia asking him a question, hope instantly ignited in his eyes.

"Ah."

Seeing An Xia eating with gusto, Lu Beichuan felt more relaxed.

"You eat first. I'll go find Zhao Mei to ask about the child's condition."

An Xia suddenly stopped chewing and called him.

"The baby is okay."

Lu Beichuan turned around and looked at her.

An Xia lied subconsciously: "Director Zhao came this afternoon and showed me the results of the examination. The baby's condition... is quite stable."

"Really?" Lu Beichuan turned around and sat back down beside An Xia's bed without a doubt.

He reached out and gently stroked An Xia's belly.

But I didn't dare rub it hard.

These days he has read a lot of books about pregnancy knowledge, which say that pregnant women should not keep touching their bellies during pregnancy, as this will cause the fetus to be in an abnormal position in the mother's body and make the umbilical cord easily wrap around the neck.

So now Lu Beichuan only dared to gently place his hand on An Xia's lower abdomen, not daring to move, just feeling the presence of the baby through her belly.

"I have had someone build a new baby room in Tianzhu Garden. The construction will take about a month. This way, after you give birth and finish your confinement, the room will be well ventilated and your baby can move in."

As Lu Beichuan spoke, he took out his phone and showed An Xia the design renderings.

"I think the baby is definitely a girl, and pink would be a good choice. But the designer said to be on the safe side, we could decorate it in yellow or green tones, saying that this way it can be used by both boys and girls."

When talking about topics related to the baby, Lu Beichuan always talks more than usual.

His face was already full of anticipation for this child who had not yet arrived and whom he had not yet met.

An Xia pursed her lips, unable to bear to look at his expression for a moment.

In the past, she always felt that she could not empathize with others' pain, so after being hurt by Lu Beichuan again and again, she turned around and left so resolutely. No matter what conditions Lu Beichuan offered, or how much he bowed his head, she would not be soft-hearted.

but now……

She could feel it.

If Lu Beichuan knew the child's true situation now and knew that he could not keep the child, he would be no less sad than her.

Not getting a response from An Xia, Lu Beichuan turned to look at her, and only then noticed that her eyes had turned red.

"What's wrong?" Lu Beichuan quickly put down his phone: "Are you feeling unwell?"

While observing An Xia's condition, Lu Beichuan reached out to the bedside and was about to ring the bell to call the doctor.

An Xia grabbed him.

"It's nothing. I've just been busy all day and my eyes are a little sore."

Lu Beichuan was still worried, and he felt a little regretful that he had to show her those colorful design drawings so late at night.

"Then I'll get you a heated eye mask. You can apply it to relieve the pain."

"Ah."

Lu Beichuan lowered the bed with the remote control, and An Xia lay down, watching Lu Beichuan working diligently beside her.

I found her an eye mask and a straw to put in her water cup so she could drink while lying down. I also lowered the brightness of the bedside lamp and lit an aromatherapy diffuser.

"This can relieve fatigue and calm your nerves, so you can sleep better."

After putting the blindfold on her, Lu Beichuan carefully tidied her quilt, paying attention to every gap, for fear that a little wind would get in and make her catch a cold.

After doing all this, Lu Beichuan picked up the half-finished fairy tale book on the bedside table and continued his prenatal education before bed.

An Xia thought that she would have a hard time sleeping tonight because she had such a heavy heart, but she didn't expect that she would fall asleep unknowingly accompanied by Lu Beichuan's deep and magnetic voice when he was halfway through telling a story.

After a story ended, An Xia's breathing became steady and even.

Lu Beichuan got up quietly, his dark eyes fixed on An Xia's peaceful sleeping face. His eyes were filled with ripples and all kinds of emotions surged through him. Finally, he couldn't help leaning over and gently kissing her on the forehead.

"Good night."

The moment his lips touched the woman's delicate skin, Lu Beichuan was as happy as a child who had successfully eaten something secretly and got satisfied.

He stepped back reluctantly, his finger touching the switch of the bedside lamp. Just as he was about to press it, his eyes paused and rested on the tool bags next to the bedside table.

Vaguely, I seemed to see some model.

The man frowned, and his expression, which had just been cheerful, suddenly turned gloomy.

He walked over quietly, looked at the tool kits for a long time, and then left the ward with heavy steps.

The next day.

After Lu Beichuan stopped going to the company, he continued to work as An Xia's personal caregiver and nanny. As long as he could help her, he would do it himself.

After dinner, An Xia looked at Lu Beichuan who was cleaning up the dishes and said, "You don't have to come over this afternoon. Xiao Ming said you've been very busy lately, so you should just stay there and work. I'll just take a nap in the afternoon anyway."

Lu Beichuan paused.

His murky eyes made it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this moment.

But An Xia didn't care because she was telling the truth.

Lu Beichuan was determined to stay here as a nanny. Xiao Ming didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only turn his eyes to An Xia and tell An Xia about the recent pile of work at Lu's company.

They were about to get divorced, and An Xia didn't want to be known as Su Daji, as if it was because of her that Lu Beichuan never attended court again.

So I just said this casually.

What Lu Beichuan was thinking about was the tool kit that An Xia had placed next to the bedside table.

His eyes darkened.

But in the end, he still didn't dare to question whether An Xia's words and actions were consistent.

The child's condition had just stabilized, and Lu Beichuan didn't want to upset An Xia because of those meaningless little things.

If they quarrel, it will definitely affect the condition of the baby in her belly.

So Lu Beichuan could only hold back his anger and nodded.

"understood."

Before leaving, Lu Beichuan peeled a fruit plate for An Xia and placed all the nutritional supplements for after-meal on the table before leaving.

It was not until she heard the sound of keyboard typing in the next ward that An Xia slowly got out of bed, fixed the bedside table herself, and opened the tool kit that Jiang Qingyu had sent her.
