Recently, Su Rou could clearly feel the baby kicking in her womb. Her belly had grown as big as a blown - up balloon. Su Rou felt as if she were carrying a time bomb around every day.
"Xiaorou'er, the baby seems... really energetic." Su Yuze stroked Su Rou's belly. Feeling a strong jolt from inside, he thought this baby was quite a naughty one.
"Yeah." Su Rou also touched her belly. The kicks hurt a bit.
"Does it hurt?" Seeing Su Rou slightly frown, he couldn't help asking.
"A little." She nodded with a hint of grievance. "Why does the baby kick me?"
Well, this was a normal reaction during the baby's growth. A baby that could kick was a normal one. If it didn't move, that would be a cause for concern.
Su Yuze felt like he was almost an expert. He seemed to know more about pregnancy than Su Rou, the pregnant one herself! Just a few months ago, he was still completely clueless, but now he was almost a pro.
"I checked online. Fetal movement will last until the baby is born... Let's go to the hospital this weekend to find out the due date." Su Yuze suddenly remembered this and immediately picked up his phone to make an appointment.
...
The next day
Su Yuze took Su Rou to the hospital. The middle - aged female doctor who received them was the same one as last time. When she saw Su Rou, she first felt her belly and said, "The baby is very healthy. But why did you wait so long to come for a prenatal check - up?"
Normally, prenatal check - ups should be done at least once a month to ensure the baby's health. If there were any unexpected situations during the development, they could be detected in advance.
"Well, we were delayed by some things before." Su Rou scratched her head. "But the baby kicks me with quite a bit of strength. The baby should be okay, right?"
The female doctor used a stethoscope to listen to her belly. "Yes, the heartbeat is very strong."
Su Rou lay on the hospital bed for a B - ultrasound examination. The female doctor, wearing glasses, watched the baby's movements on the computer screen. "The baby is growing very well. It's been over six months. Based on this situation, the due date should be about 65 days from now."
65 days... That meant it was about two months later.
Su Yuze leaned over to look at the shadow of the baby on the computer screen. He could even see the little thing stretching its hands and feet gently in Su Rou's belly.
"It's grown so big."
"Yes, of course. Babies change every day." The female doctor looked at the so - called cold and heartless President Su in the outside world. Now, looking at the growing baby, there was a hint of tenderness on his face.
Su Rou also propped herself up to take a look. Seeing the scene inside her belly, she was quite surprised. So this was how a little life grew. "It's so cute."
"Hehe." The female doctor couldn't help smiling when she heard Su Rou's words. This young mother herself still seemed like a child. "The baby will be even cuter after it's born."
"I really want to give birth soon."
"... " Su Yuze paused for a moment, then looked at the female doctor. "Can the baby be born earlier?"
The female doctor was completely taken aback when she heard this. "Well... It's best to let nature take its course."
Su Rou looked a bit disappointed. She had to wait another two months to see her baby, which meant she had to carry this "time bomb" for another two months.
"Xiaorou'er, let's go." Su Yuze carefully helped her off the bed. "Just wait patiently for two months."
Su Rou rubbed her toes against her shoes and whispered, "Two more months. It's so long."
There was nothing Su Yuze could do. No matter how much Su Rou wanted to see the baby right now, she couldn't give birth yet.
The female doctor gave Su Yuze a series of suggestions on taking care of the pregnant woman's mood. Then Su Yuze took Su Rou away.
"Ze gege, did you see? The baby is so cute, right?" Su Rou was still recalling the cute baby she had just seen.
"Yes, I saw." Su Yuze nodded. "But the baby can't be born now."
Su Rou gave him a disdainful look. "I know." He always knew how to dampen her spirits.
"Just wait patiently for two months."
"Um... " Su Rou gently patted her belly. "You have to come out earlier."
But that still depended on the baby's will.
The two walked around outside for a while and bought some things. When they got home, they suddenly saw an unexpected guest.
"Grandpa?" Sitting on the sofa was the old master of the Su family, Su Rongqi.
Su Rongqi looked at Su Rou, whose belly had grown much bigger, and his face darkened slightly. "Where did you go? Xiaorou's belly is so big now, and you still let her run around?"
"No. Ze gege took me to the hospital." Su Rou explained.
"Oh." Su Rongqi nodded, feeling a bit more relieved. "How was the check - up?"
"Well, everything is normal." Su Yuze put the food bags in his hand on the coffee table. "Grandpa, why did you come?"
Su Rongqi picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. "Did Du Long come to City T before? Do you know?"
"I've heard a bit."
"What happened?" Su Rongqi frowned slightly. "What's the deal with the plane crash?" Du Long's activities in City T had been so secretive before that Su Rongqi had no idea what had happened.
"I don't know." Su Yuze said. "I just found out that Du Long came to City T. Maybe he came for a vacation and had bad luck on his way back."
Su Rongqi had a hunch that this matter might be related to Su Yuze, so he came to ask. Also... he could come and see Su Rou.
"Really?" Su Rongqi saw that Su Yuze's expression was natural and didn't seem like he was lying at all. So he trusted him, and his tightly - knitted brows relaxed. "I thought it might have something to do with you."
Su Rou looked at Su Yuze nervously. Only now did she remember that Du Long was probably the only one in this world who knew about Su Yuze's background. Now that he was dead, this problem could probably be hidden forever.
"Grandpa, you're overthinking." Su Yuze said calmly. "I'm not very familiar with Du Long."
"Well, I'm just asking."
Su Rou let out a sigh of relief. "Grandpa, stay for dinner here."
"Okay."
Su Yuze sat down opposite Su Rongqi on the sofa. "Aunt Wang, add a few more dishes."
"Okay."
"Although this time there's no connection between you and Du Long, the man did have an accident in City T after all. So you'd better be more careful." Su Rongqi said earnestly.
"I know."
"Especially now that you have a family. You need to be more cautious when going out to do things. You don't want anything bad to happen, do you?" Su Rongqi was an experienced person. He thought it was necessary to remind Su Yuze of this problem.
"I know, Grandpa." So many things had happened in the past month, things that Grandpa didn't know about.
