At this moment, she seriously gazed at this man.

Initially, she only thought he was just a rich young master, a tycoon with too much money looking for new thrills. Later, she thought that it was just a big investment in one woman, so he was determined to win.

Gradually, she came to understand that he was not a tycoon at all—this man, regardless of time or place, no matter the circumstances, always maintained the bottom line and principles of being a person.

This was the biggest difference between him and men of his class, also the most essential difference—the “guts” that Lao Zhang talked about!

In fact, it wasn’t just that class, nor just men. Even women, across all classes, weren’t they lacking such people?

And thus, it made him especially trustworthy.

She silently sighed, in the end, she hadn’t misjudged the person.

Or rather, she hadn’t wasted her Harvard-educated eyes.

That night, they both fell asleep. Because of extreme pressure, the pregnant woman couldn’t hold her urine, constantly getting up to use the bathroom. It was almost dawn when Yan Xixi finally returned to bed and lay down. Just as she lay down, a cup of warm water was already placed by the bedside.

“Silly girl, drink some water.”

She sat up, and he handed her the water.

This happened every morning, it had become a habit. Even when busy, during meetings, even on weekends… He would always get up at the same time to pour her a glass of water.

She suddenly laughed, “Brother Donglin, do you know that since I got pregnant, you have gotten up every morning to pour me a glass of water for three months, without interruption, rain or shine.”

He was indifferent, “Is that very rare?”

“You’re more diligent than a nanny.”

“Nonsense. It’s my child, not the nanny’s. If I don’t take care of you, who will?”

She chuckled.

That day, a summer storm raged, it was unusually hot at the end of summer.

Today was not a day for going out. Wan Donglin lay back down, softly holding her. In just three months, she had lost at least ten pounds. Vomiting, bed rest, all kinds of caution… the hardships of pregnancy, only women know.

He saw her vomiting with his own eyes, almost throwing up bile; saw her going to the bathroom frequently, unable to sleep all night; saw her complexion go from dewy to sallow, from radiant beauty to wearing pajamas all day in disarray…

If a man hadn’t seen these things with his own eyes, he would think childbirth is as simple as laying an egg—intentionally belittling the value and labor of childbirth—and thus writing off this expenditure without acknowledging the hard work.

He accompanied her throughout her pregnancy, so he knew clearly, and therefore cherished her dearly.

However, her spirits clearly improved, she was enthusiastic: “Brother Donglin, look at this ultrasound, our little partner has grown a lot, very healthy…”

He silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The three months had finally passed.

That little life was finally safe and sound.

“My appetite is also getting better, haha, I finally don’t need to take medicine… Look, soon I’ll have a big appetite and become a big fatty…”

Ordinary clothes had already been put away, gradually replaced by maternity wear.

“Hey, I think I’ll stay fat like this…”

“Why?”

“Think about it, it’s fine to be pregnant for ten months, but after birth is the key. I still have to breastfeed, I can’t just focus on maintaining my figure and cause the child to be malnourished, right?”
