Chapter 203 My Baby and I Aren't That Vulnerable

After a while, Zhu Ziqing took Tan Haoyu's hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.

With a mysterious smile on his face, he said, "Haoyu, feel it and see if you notice anything different."

Tan Haoyu looked bewildered. He subconsciously touched himself and then said, "Have you lost weight again? Your belly has gotten smaller."

Zhu Ziqing was both amused and exasperated. She patted Tan Haoyu's hand and said, "Try to feel it again carefully, don't make wild guesses."

Tan Haoyu frowned, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't guess Zhu Ziqing's intention.

Seeing that he really couldn't guess, Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "Try to guess again. There's a reward if you guess right."

A thought suddenly flashed through Tan Haoyu's mind. He looked at Zhu Ziqing with a wicked smile and said, "Do you want to be with me...?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing's face immediately turned red. She angrily slapped Tan Haoyu on the shoulder and said, "Can't you think of something serious!"

Seeing that Zhu Ziqing was really angry, Tan Haoyu quickly stopped smiling and said innocently, "Then I really can't guess. Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath, her face beaming with a happy smile, and said, "Haoyu, I'm pregnant."

However, Tan Haoyu's reaction was unbelievably indifferent. He simply hummed softly, then took Zhu Ziqing's hand and continued walking forward.

Zhu Ziqing watched Tan Haoyu's retreating figure, feeling a pang of disappointment. She didn't understand why Tan Haoyu was so cold after learning the news. But she still chose to believe him, believing he was simply still reeling from the shock.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of the house. Zhu Ziqing was filled with joy and anticipation for Tan Haoyu's excited reaction, after all, this was the fruit of their love.

However, Tan Haoyu's indifferent attitude was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm in her heart.

"What kind of reaction is this? You're so calm after hearing we have a child?" Zhu Ziqing's voice was full of anger and disappointment, and her eyes were slightly red. "Do you even care about our child?"

Tan Haoyu remained calm. He looked at Zhu Ziqing and said softly, "Ziqing, don't be angry. Let's go eat first."

"What food! I'm not in the mood for anything right now!" Zhu Ziqing stomped her foot angrily, then suddenly raised her foot and kicked Tan Haoyu. Although the kick wasn't very forceful, it was enough to express her dissatisfaction.

Tan Haoyu nimbly dodged, his expression remaining largely unchanged. He patiently said again, "Ziqing, this isn't good for your health. Let's eat first, and we can talk about it after we finish eating."

"I won't eat! I just won't eat!" Zhu Ziqing turned her head away and said stubbornly.

After a brief standoff, the two finally went inside.

The dinner table was laden with sumptuous dishes, but Zhu Ziqing had no appetite whatsoever.

Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing, his expression turning serious. He said earnestly, "Ziqing, no matter what, you have to eat. You're pregnant now, so you need to ensure you get enough nutrition. It's important for both you and the baby."

Zhu Ziqing pouted and muttered softly, "If I eat so much, I'll get fat."

"So what if you gain weight? As long as you and the child are healthy, that's more important than anything else." Tan Haoyu's tone was firm, and his eyes were full of concern.

Although Zhu Ziqing was still complaining, she had actually understood and accepted Tan Haoyu's concern. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

After dinner, Zhu Ziqing returned to her room, took a quick shower, and went to bed early to rest.

Tan Haoyu went into the study to handle some work-related matters.

However, sitting at his desk, Tan Haoyu couldn't concentrate at all.

Zhu Ziqing's words kept echoing in his ears, and the word "pregnant" kept replaying in his mind. He was filled with both doubt and anticipation, his heart brimming with complex emotions. He worried that it was just a misunderstanding, and that the answer wouldn't match his expectations.

After an unknown amount of time, Tan Haoyu finally composed himself. He tiptoed out of the study and into the bedroom. He carefully approached the bedside, looking at the sleeping Zhu Ziqing with tenderness in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhu Ziqing seemed to sense something and slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Tan Haoyu's gaze.

"Ziqing..." Tan Haoyu's voice trembled slightly as he asked nervously, "You...you're really pregnant?"

Seeing Tan Haoyu's nervous expression, Zhu Ziqing's anger subsided considerably. She nodded gently and said, "Yes, really."

Upon hearing this answer, Tan Haoyu remained silent for a long time, simply gazing at Zhu Ziqing with a deep and complex expression.

"What's with your reaction? Are you dumbfounded?" Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but tease, raising her hand and waving it in front of Tan Haoyu.

Tan Haoyu then came to his senses, his hands nervously unsure of where to go, appearing somewhat flustered.

"Don't move around!" Tan Haoyu suddenly said sternly. "You're pregnant now, you need to lie down properly and not do anything reckless."

Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh at Tan Haoyu's nervous expression. She deliberately said, "Do you think you've abandoned your wife now that you have a child? Why are you being so fierce with me?"

Tan Haoyu was speechless when asked the question. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Actually, the reason he was so nervous was because he himself had experienced a difficult childbirth, and he was terrified that Zhu Ziqing would face the same danger.

Zhu Ziqing lay comfortably on Tan Haoyu's arm. She tilted her head back slightly, looked at Tan Haoyu's slightly worried face, and gently smiled.

"Haoyu, don't worry too much. My baby and I aren't that fragile." Zhu Ziqing reached out and gently stroked Tan Haoyu's cheek, softly comforting him, "I will take good care of myself and the baby, so don't worry."

Tan Haoyu nodded slightly, his eyes full of concern: "I know, but I just can't help worrying. You're pregnant now, so you have to be extra careful with everything you do."

Zhu Ziqing gave a soft "Mmm" and then said, "By the way, Haoyu, let's not tell the elders in the family about my pregnancy yet. I heard that it's not good luck to announce a pregnancy until three months later."

Tan Haoyu agreed without hesitation: "Okay, whatever you say. As long as you think it's good."

He paused, then couldn't help but ask, "Ziqing, how come you suddenly believe I'm JackTan?"
