Hello, Heir

Her heart skipped a beat once the thought crossed her mind.

Hurriedly pulling out her cell phone, she checked the last time that her period came. It was… two and a half months ago!

Two months without her period…

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes immediately widened, and she gulped nervously. Finally, she recalled that she had gotten a message earlier that said that the results of her body checkup were out.

Frantically searching her cell phone, she found the message and directly went straight to the front page of the report.

The report was fairly simple because she hadn’t gotten a full body checkup, and the large words on the report were loud and clear — she was pregnant!

Pregnant!!!

This piece of news stunned her.

Lowering her head, she looked toward her tummy and unconsciously placed her hand on it.

Without her even realizing it, she had been nurturing a life right inside her…

In the past, she would have been elated because of how much she had been in love with him and how she had always dreamed of having a child who looked exactly like him…

But now, with Mother Zhuang’s fate unknown, being pregnant with his child made a strange sense of guilt rise in her.

Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists. All of a sudden, she felt the incomprehensibility and the volatility of life. Heaven sure liked to joke around with her!

She hung her head low and took a deep breath.

“My dear child, even though you’re not coming at the best of times, Mommy… still loves you a lot.”

Zhuang Nainai recollected herself, then found herself something simple to eat. Even though she wasn’t sleepy, she no longer wished to tire herself out. Just a few days ago, she had felt a little bit of pain in her tummy; now, she was beginning to worry about it and decided on going to the hospital the next day to check if the child was growing normally.

She lay down on the bed in the still of the night, her surroundings quiet.

Even the bustling city in the distance looked somewhat empty and lonely from where she was.

Zhuang Nainai closed her eyes, beginning to reflect on everything that had happened in this period of time.

No wonder she had been rather easily agitated recently, where she would blow up even over the smallest things. It was because… she was pregnant.

With her hand under the sheets, she uncontrollably reached for her tummy once more. A smile spread across her face.

Her child, this was her child…

But she had no idea that the father of her child was nearby, quietly sitting in his car parked near the house and watching her.

The security around the house was really bad. Ever since the last time he managed to look at Zhuang Nainai through her window without much effort, he had become worried about her safety.

But she had been so insistent on staying over in the house. He didn’t want to force her, so the only thing he could do now was to watch over her through the night.

His only hope was that his sincerity would bring her peace and that his prayers would bring Mother Zhuang safety.

Si Zhengting sat in his car the whole night. It was not until Zhuang Nainai pushed open the door and emerged from the house the next day that he woke with a start.

He didn’t want to alert her to his presence in fear that she would feel pressured, so he hurriedly drove the car to a spot farther away from the house. He watched her as she made her way to Lin Xi’er’s house. After a while, she emerged from the house, her expression troubled.

Si Zhengting was baffled by this but could only continue watching from afar.

Zhuang Nainai was indeed troubled. It was rather troublesome to go for a prenatal examination by herself, and she had intended to get Lin Xi’er to accompany her. But she had just found out that Lin Xi’er was still away from home.

Was she really going to have to go to the hospital by herself?
