As He Ming gazed at Xiaomeng, she suddenly opened her eyes, and their gazes intertwined in the air.

“Done with your work?” she asked drowsily.

“Yeah, nothing left to do,” he replied, sitting down beside her and holding her hand.

“Do you want to take a nap?” Ye Xiaomeng noticed the redness in his eyes, and he looked exhausted.

Definitely tired, as He Ming hadn’t been able to sleep properly for several nights worrying about Xiaomeng.

Now that he knew she was pregnant, he was too excited to sleep.

“Today, you told me you’re pregnant with our child? You’re not joking, are you?” He paused for a long time before squeezing out that simple sentence.

Hearing his question, Ye Xiaomeng was truly speechless.

Could her pregnancy have caused He Ming to develop dementia? She was genuinely worried.

“It’s true.” This man must really care, hence his silly reaction.

How should she respond to him?

“Xiaomeng…” He said her name again, looking incredulous.

Then, Mr. He made an unexpected move. He gently placed his hand on Ye Xiaomeng’s belly and said tenderly, “Baby, I’m your daddy, nice to meet you. Don’t give your mom a hard time, or Daddy will have to punish you when you come out.”

Having just brushed up on his knowledge of pregnancy, He Ming knew that women experience a lot during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester with morning sickness. He was worried Xiaomeng might be experiencing an exaggerated reaction.

Ye Xiaomeng was moved and felt silly at the same time. Did all men become silly when their wives were pregnant?

She didn’t know about others, but Mr. He definitely did.

“She’s only the size of a soybean, can she understand what you’re saying?” She looked at him with a gentle smile.

As Ye Xiaomeng spoke, He Ming remained silent for a while, his gaze fixed on her, his thoughts unclear.

“Mr. He?” Ye Xiaomeng waved her hand in front of his eyes, laughing. “What are you thinking about?”

“No, I’m thinking that our baby will surely be the most beautiful and intelligent. Even though she’s small now, I’ll talk to her every day, so she’ll recognize me when she’s born. That’s what it says in the books,” He Ming said earnestly.

After speaking, he climbed onto the bed and lay down beside her, instinctively wanting to pull her into his arms. But then he remembered she was pregnant and restrained himself, retracting his hand nervously, unsure where to put it.

It was the first time Ye Xiaomeng had seen him so awkward. She couldn’t help but chuckle, rolling over quickly to his side. Just as she was about to speak, she heard He Ming’s stern voice, “Lie down properly, don’t move around, be careful of the baby.”

Ye Xiaomeng blinked innocently, then said plaintively, “Mr. He, you’re not going to ditch your wife as soon as you have a child, are you?”

He Ming looked helpless. He wasn’t planning to ditch his wife as soon as they had a child; he had just heard many women describe childbirth as a harrowing experience, so he was worried and thought they should be careful.

Oh, it’s really worrying. What if Xiaomeng hasn’t even given birth yet, and all his hair turns white?

Ye Xiaomeng nestled into his arm, sighing contentedly. “He Ming, don’t worry too much. Neither I nor the baby are that fragile.”

He Ming lay beside her, stiff as a board, afraid to move lest he accidentally hurt her.
