Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Hearing the Baby’s Heartbeat for the First Ti
Lin Qi knew this man all too well.
Especially early in the morning, when his energy was at its peak.
His kiss was already enough to reveal his intentions!
Lin Qi said, “Don’t ss around, I still have to go for a pregnancy check-up today.”
Huo Tingdong said, “How am I ssing around?”
As he spoke, his hands didn’t stop moving; his raspy voice carried a hint of unusual restraint and obscurity.
Lin Qi sensed a crisis!
She tried to squirm away, thinking of escape, but how could this man give her the chance to escape?
It had been three months already.
During the last pregnancy check-up, the doctor had subtly ntioned that moderate sex was harmless.
In a mont, he pulled off the camisole dress she was wearing, held her with one arm, and while gently pecking her lips to soothe her, he carried her towards the bathtub.
“Be good, don’t fuss. I’ll be gentle,” he said.
The large bathtub was more than enough to accommodate two people.
Warm water spread over her shoulders.
Lin Qi no longer had room to resist and was so literally devoured early in the morning!
An hour later…
After he had helped her bathe, he carried her in front of the dressing table, wrapped her in a fluffy blanket, and was drying her damp hair.
She looked especially innocent just after bathing, with all traces of makeup washed away, resembling a lotus erging from water.
The more he looked, the more he liked it, and he bent down to cover her delicate face with kisses.
Lin Qi’s face turned red: “My face will be crushed by your kisses.”
Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrows, and dismissively countered, “Where has it been crushed? Let see.”
Lin Qi: “That was a taphor!”
Huo Tingdong: “Don’t you like your husband kissing you?”
Lin Qi: “I found that you’ve beco a totally different person after marriage!”
Before their marriage, Huo Tingdong seed rather aloof, but once they were married, he beca incredibly clingy and would steal kisses frequently. If not burdened by his heavy workload, she believed he would hold her in his arms all day, indeed enough to ‘crush her face’ with kisses!
Although it wasn’t really a bad thing…
But Lin Qi could feel the visible changes in Huo Tingdong.
He really did beco more attached to her.
Perhaps in public, he maintained so aloofness, but privately, with nobody around, it was all about his wife this and his wife that!
Huo Tingdong chuckled and flicked her forehead: “Acting coy after gaining the advantage.”
He pulled open a drawer, took out a hairdryer, and carefully dried her wet hair lock by lock with his large hands.
His hair was coarse, while hers was soft, so he was extra cautious, afraid that he might break her hair.
His gentle technique allowed Lin Qi to relish the mont, basking in the warm air, feeling like a cat getting its fur smoothed out, completely lting in his arms.
Seeing her getting sleepy, Huo Tingdong gently pinched her nose: “Still not awake?”
Lin Qi said, “This wind feels so comfy…”
Huo Tingdong: “Sleep after we return. Let’s go to the hospital for the pregnancy check-up first.”
Lin Qi humd in agreent, then slowly got up.
Hospital.
Huo Tingdong registered for an appointnt and accompanied her through various checks.
In the ultrasound room.
The doctor applied coupling agent on her belly, using the equipnt to gently roll over her lower abdon.
Huo Tingdong stood aside, seeing the babies for the first ti through the ultrasound.
The doctor said, “Dual amniotic sacs, both little babies are healthy, each one in its own room, haha, so adorable… Do you see? These are the little hands and feet of the baby…”
On the screen, two little blobs curled up their little hands and feet.
Under the doctor’s explanation, he finally saw clearly, his expression slightly changed, feeling sowhat amazed, “Is this baby moving around randomly?”
He saw one of the little babies constantly waving hands and feet, but soon cald down.
The doctor said, “This is normal fetal movent, after all, it’s already 18 weeks. Fetal movents are not so noticeable at this ti, but later, they will beco more frequent.”
Huo Tingdong was sowhat surprised.
He kept staring at the screen, “This little guy, a bit dominating.”
Lin Qi: “Does it resemble you?”
The doctor said, “Now you can hear the baby’s heartbeat!”
She connected the Doppler fetal monitor, and Huo Tingdong heard the clear heartbeat.
“Hoho, hoho…”
“Hoho, hoho…”
Sounds like horse hooves, and also like the sound of a little train, heard through the amniotic fluid, although there is so noise, it was still quite powerful and clear.
Huo Tingdong listened to the heartbeat for the first ti: “The heartbeat is so fast.”
“Yes, that’s normal!” the doctor said comfortingly, “The baby’s heartbeat is strong! The fetus is still small now, but later, you can hear it with a stethoscope.”
The doctor looked at Huo Tingdong, smiling happily, “The baby you two have will definitely be beautiful and cute! Beautiful like mom, beautiful like dad.”
Huo Tingdong was in a good mood, responding politely, “Thank you.”
The doctor looked at Lin Qi sowhat enviously, “I envy you, marrying such a good husband, who patiently cos with you for prenatal check-ups.”
Usually, she had seen many husbands co with their wives for prenatal check-ups, but most were sitting outside playing with their phones, but Huo Tingdong was different.
The way he looked at the screen, his gaze tender almost spilling over.
Lin Qi raised her head, looking at Huo Tingdong, seeing him engrossed in the screen, it was hard to imagine he had such a tender side.
Lin Qi: “Cute, isn’t it?”
Huo Tingdong: “Yes, cute.”
Last ti it was just a report on paper, now it’s a dynamic ultrasound image, he found it magical.
Leaving the ultrasound room.
Lin Qi received a text ssage reminder: “The blood test report is ready, can you help get it?”
“Okay.”
Huo Tingdong walked towards the report machine.
Just as Lin Qi sat down on a bench, a familiar voice ca from behind: “Qiqi?”
The woman hesitantly called her, as if afraid of recognizing the wrong person.
Lin Qi turned her head, looking in the direction of the voice, slightly startled: “Cousin?”
A heavily pregnant woman ca over, smiling with surprise, “Qiqi, it really is you! I saw you from a distance and thought it was you, but I was afraid of mistaken identity, it really is you!”
Lin Qi was also a bit surprised, “What a coincidence, you…”
She looked at the woman’s belly, “This…”
The woman smiled, “I’m here for a prenatal checkup.”
Lin Qi was sowhat surprised, “You got married?”
The woman nodded, “Yes, we just registered last month, planning to have the baby and then hold the wedding, together with the baby’s full-month celebration. The due date is next month, maybe the baby will co this month, and then we’ll have the wedding at the end of next month.”
Lin Qi was a bit shocked, “It’s quite sudden…”
“How old is your child? I should get married too! Although people generally marry later now, my in-laws said that it’s better for a woman to have children earlier for health reasons.”
