Chapter 1262: Chapter 1261: Anticipation Chapter 1262: Chapter 1261: Anticipation Zhou Shengting really couldn’t ask for more, he had been waiting for these words for a long time.

“Let’s go,” said Zhou Shengting as he was already taking Bai Lan’s hand.

After sending Zhou family’s parents back to the old house, they then returned to their own home.

By the time they got home, it was almost 11 o’clock.

Bai Lan was really tired after such a demanding day.

Her arm was still faintly aching; Bai Lan felt exhausted, and when she sat down, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart.

“What’s wrong? Are you very tired?” Zhou Shengting squatted beside her and asked with concern.

Seeing her weary face, Zhou Shengting felt somewhat guilty for not having taken good care of her.

“It’s nothing, just a bit sleepy, you know how pregnant women love to sleep,” Bai Lan said, feigning ease.

Upon hearing that, Zhou Shengting pressed his face against Bai Lan’s belly, “Baby, can you hear me? I’m your dad.”

Bai Lan couldn’t help but laugh at his silly behavior, finding it surprising that the renowned CEO could also have such childish moments.

“The baby is still an embryo right now, it can’t understand what you’re saying,” Bai Lan said sweetly.

“Well, you have to start teaching them young,” insisted Zhou Shengting earnestly.

“Alright, you should go take a shower, and rest early,” Bai Lan said, feeling her eyes were almost too heavy to keep open.

“Okay, just tidy up a bit, I’ll be quick,” Zhou Shengting said and went to get his pajamas.

When he came out of the bathroom, Bai Lan was already asleep in bed.

Zhou Shengting chuckled softly, then lay down beside her. After that, his hand rested on Bai Lan’s belly, gently stroked it once, and then he hugged her to sleep.

…

The next day, Bai Lan hadn’t gotten up yet when Zhou Shengting left a note, he had already gone back to the company.

Bai Lan thought about going for her prenatal checkup today, but she hadn’t mentioned it to Zhou Shengting. After all, her belly wasn’t showing yet, and she was able to do many things herself.

Bai Lan was not at all pretentious about this.

In fact, pregnancy is a natural process for women, there’s no need to make oneself seem like Lin Daiyu.

After having breakfast, Bai Lan took a taxi to the hospital on her own.

She didn’t tell Zhou Shengting for another reason as well–because of her health concerns, she was worried that what the doctor might say could upset him.

Luckily, the checkup results were very good, Bai Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.

She had thought about calling Zhou Shengting, but then decided against it.

She would tell him in the evening; however, she assumed Zhou Shengting would be somewhat annoyed, considering she hadn’t told him and had come to the hospital alone.

Until evening, Zhou Shengting still hadn’t come back, probably tied up with social obligations.

Previously, he would usually call her to let her know, but today he must have been very busy and forgotten.

Bai Lan showered early, dressed in a long white cotton T-shirt as her nightgown, and sat quietly on the sofa. She looked down at her lower abdomen and gently stroked it with her hand.

She still found it so amazing, that while she was still in a state of daze, a little life had already begun to grow inside her.

Although she often felt chest tightness and nausea, there was always a sense of fulfillment within her heart.

Therefore, this bit of discomfort was really trivial.

The little baby is so cute…

Would her child be like that?

Would it be a boy or a girl?

Whom would it resemble?

If it looks like its father, it will surely captivate many girls, right?

Bai Lan’s mind brimmed with expectations for the child, so much so that when Zhou Shengting returned and opened the door, she didn’t even hear it.
