Chapter 2750: Unspoken anticipation for the little one.
In the car, Baby Chu sat sullenly on Butler Fu’s lap and muttered, “Grandpa, that young uncle is also very mean to you; don’t you hate him?”
“Master may be aloof and unwelcoming, but he’s very good to me. He isn’t one to show his concern openly, but once in a while, he can be gentle.”
The boy tilted his head in puzzlement, seemingly not understanding what the old man had just told him. This was adult lingo, which the kid could catch no ball and to which the child could only return with a quizzical gaze via his big, round eyes.
To the lad, the elderly butler was gentle, nice, and caring toward him, whereas that uncle had a black heart despite his good looks!
So baddies are not all ugly!
There were also those like that uncle—good-looking but essentially fierce and vicious like demon kings!
In the little boy’s mind, the image of a demon king had been sealed on Gu Jinglian with a mark of approval.
If the old man were to know what was on the little one’s mind at this time, he would not know whether to laugh or cry at the ridiculousness of it!
…
Last night, Meng Qingxue made the decision to go back to the capital with Mu Yancheng. Chu He naturally wanted to follow along. Having finally gained valuable intel about her son, the policewoman wanted to trace this lead personally.
There was no time for the ladies to pack. In any case, Meng Qingxue owned nothing much except some daily necessities and essentials, which she could buy when she reached the capital.
Time was of essence to them now, which those superficial items could not measure with!
She took the same car as Mu Yancheng, whereas Chu He took the next car. The policewoman had not slept a wink for two days; hence, soon after settling in the backseat and the car rode off, she dozed due to exhaustion.
This was the same for the other woman; she was terribly exhausted, too.
The pregnant lady had been on the edge for the last two to three days as she fretted over Baby Chu’s safety. Although she tried to close her eyes to rest whenever she could, she did not manage to have a sound sleep at all.
As a result, shortly after getting in the car, she also dozed off while leaning on her man’s shoulder with her eyes tightly shut.
The man could feel the weight on his shoulder and glance at her sideway. His gaze fell on her flat tummy. Perhaps she was too skinny, but her tummy did not show signs of pregnancy.
She’s too thin!
He remembered that, in his sister’s first trimester of pregnancy, her tummy was already slightly swollen, but what about his lover?
There was no sign of pregnancy at all.
He threw a glance softly at her, and when he saw that she was sound asleep, he lowered his eyes and discreetly stretched a big, warm palm. He then placed it lightly on her tummy. His action was extremely gentle, seemingly afraid of disturbing the little life inside her with any big action!
He could not detect any signs of life with his palm against her skin.
There would not be any fetal movement three months in the pregnancy, would there?
He had seen several fathers-to-be pressing their faces excitedly against their women’s bellies to listen for any fetal movements before, and he used to find their action ridiculous.
Now, he was actually eager to get down and discreetly listen for any signs of movement from the little one in his woman’s tummy.
