An Unexpected Pregnancy with the Fake Husband's Child [Completed]

C56. Giving Birth.

Chapter 56

After the lively New Year's festivities, spring arrived with its warm breeze.

Spring is a time of rebirth, and City C, being a coastal city, often experiences misty rains during this period.

Sitting in a recliner, Shen Minglou listened to the rain outside, gently touching his protruding belly. Occasionally, he felt a response from the child within, the faint movements leaving him speechless, marveling at the evolving life inside him.

As time passed, the fetal movements became more pronounced. Initially felt only within, as the belly swelled, the child's light kicks could be felt externally, creating a small rise and fall beneath his touch.

Feeling amazed by the experience of carrying a child, Shen Minglou couldn't help placing his hand on his slightly undulating belly. The child seemed to recognize him, responding to his touch with its own movement.

These inexplicable feelings touched his heart, filling him with wordless joy.

Excitedly calling Qin Zhichen over, they carefully touched the unborn child in his belly together.

Recollecting the scene with a smile, Shen Minglou was enveloped in happiness, feeling light amidst the soothing rain. As his thoughts relaxed, drowsiness gradually overtook him.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Qin Zhichen's voice broke the silence, dispelling Shen Minglou's drowsiness.

Turning towards the source of the sound, Shen Minglou listened as Qin Zhichen approached, sitting next to him with a cup of warm water.

Shen Minglou shook his head, feeling fine, "No, everything's good for now."

"That's good," Qin Zhichen handed him the water, "Are your hands and feet feeling better?"

"They are," Shen Minglou smiled at Qin Zhichen.

"Tonight, I'll give you a massage. This sensation must be uncomfortable. You didn't complain when your feet swelled up like radishes before; if I hadn't been vigilant, you would've tricked me," Qin Zhichen said, touching Shen Minglou's hair gently.

"Your due date is in a few days. If you're uncomfortable, be sure to tell me. Both I and the baby are waiting for you," he added. "The baby must be eager to see you."

As Qin Zhichen spoke, Shen Minglou's belly moved in agreement.

Chuckling softly, Shen Minglou said, "He just moved in my belly."

"It seems he strongly agrees with what I said," Qin Zhichen said contently, patting Shen Minglou's belly. "I always knew you were the most obedient."

As another movement occurred under Qin Zhichen's palm, he marveled at the child's seemingly proud nature.

"Very obedient," he laughed. "I wonder who you've inherited this love for praise from."

Without knowing, Shen Minglou recalled memories from many years ago. Qin Zhichen coughed twice, saying, "Let's not bring up the past."

Since Song Mianyin learned about Shen Minglou's pregnancy, she would visit City C every month. She'd always talk to Shen Minglou about the situation when she was pregnant with Qin Zhichen.

At first, Qin Zhichen was indifferent, but now even a mention of it made him uncomfortable.

"I've always thought his character resembles yours," Shen Minglou said. "Though I don't know if he's a boy or a girl, or how he'll be in the future, I hope when he grows up, he'll love this world as passionately as you do."
