“Besides tomato sauce steak, what else do you want to eat? The weather is really nice today, and I heard that good weather goes hand in hand with good food,” Nie Chenng asked.


    “I can’t eat any more, just make me another ss of fresh fruit juice, the fresh kind.”


    “Okay,ter we’ll go to the fruit shop and pick some fruit. Eating more fruit benefits the pregnancy.”


    “Great! Chenng, howe you know how to do everything? I’m even jealous,” she said.


    “It’s just making a steak and juicing some fruit. I can teach you, and you’ll certainly be able to do it, too.”


    “Don’t teach me, if you do, then you won’t make it for me anymore,” Xu Chaomuughed.


    Nie Chenngughed too. How could that be? As long as she wanted to eat, he would cook for her.


    They chatted all the way to the hospital.


    Xu Chaomu, with her bag on her back, headed straight for the fourth floor, with Nie Chenng following by her side.


    After retrieving the test results and the ultrasound scans, Xu Chaomu walked toward the doctor’s office.


    “Doctor, I was here yesterday. Could you please help me check how my body is doing? Is everything all right?” Xu Chaomu handed over all her documents.<div>


    The female doctor with sses took Xu Chaomu’s documents, pushed her sses up, and started to examine them closely.


    Xu Chaomu patiently waited, and Nie Chenng also stood by her side.


    “Things look quite good, only your blood sugar is a bit low. Pay attention to a bnced diet, eat more nutritious food. Your baby is also doing well, very healthy, so don’t worry. From now on, you should exercise appropriately each day, walk more as it’s good for both the baby and you. Just avoid vigorous exercise. Also, don’t overwork yourself and avoid staying upte.”


    Nie Chenng nodded: “I will, from now on I’ll take her out for walks every day, and I’ll make sure to take care of her.”


    The doctor looked up, smiling: “This must be your husband, right? He’s good. Men should spend more time with their wives. No matter how busy you are with work, it doesn’tpare to having a healthy family. Peaceful and harmonious.”


    “You’re right,” Nie Chenng responded.


    “I’ve seen too many cases like this. Some husbands are so busy every day. The wife gets pregnant, about to give birth, and he doesn’t even apany her to the hospital once,” the doctor sighed.


    “I will take her to do regr health check-ups from now on,” Nie Chenng said.


    “That’s right, the health of the child and the adults is what’s most important,” the doctor said.


    “I’ll remember that,” Nie Chenng nodded.


    Xu Chaomu smiled, she knew that once Nie Chenng said he’d remember, he definitely would.


    Being with Nie Chenng, she didn’t have to worry about anything. Just like when she was in college, many things were settled by Nie Chenng for her.


    He helped her contact her advisor, helped her rent a house, helped her sign up for various activities…


    Sometimes, she felt very secure with Nie Chenng. It’s just that she didn’t know when this sense of security could turn into love…


    Give her some time.


    After all, in marriage, suitability is more important than love.


    She and Shen Chi were doomed to be unsuitable.


    After listening to the female doctor’s nagging for a while, Nie Chenng finally took Xu Chaomu out of the office.<div>


    Xu Chaomu touched her t belly, feeling a bit disappointed: “You still can’t tell I’m pregnant. I must have been too tired recently, which prevented the baby from growing.”


    “It’s only been a little over two months. It’s very normal.”


    “When we get home, I want to eat and eat, to supply the baby with more nutrients.”


    But just as Xu Chaomu was mumbling with her head down, Nie Chenng suddenly stopped walking, and Xu Chaomu also stopped.<div>


    A freezing yet powerful aura hit them, causing Xu Chaomu to take a step back involuntarily.


    Without looking up, she already knew who hade!


    She knew that as long as she was in C City, she couldn’t escape his hold.


    “Mumu,ing to the hospital and not calling your husband?” Shen Chi said lightly, his tone nheless imperiously decisive.


    Xu Chaomu quickly clung to Nie Chenng’s arm. She was most afraid of Shen Chi like this.


    The calmer he seemed, the more likely a storm was brewing.


    “Chenng is my husband.”


    “Mumu, stop joking. Have you had enough of the affair? Come home with me.”


    Nie Chenng stepped forward, staring into Shen Chi’s eyes: “Don’t push her, listen to what she wants. She’s not your puppet; you don’t always have to be so domineering.”


    “Really? I was asking her in a negotiating tone. How did it turn into forcing her?” Shen Chi said coldly.


    Nie Chenng’s words struck right at Xu Chaomu’s heart—Shen Chi really was too domineering.


    “Then let me tell you, I don’t want to go back to the Shen family,” Xu Chaomu said calmly, “whenever you have time, let’s get the divorce settled.”


    The expression on Shen Chi’s face suddenly darkened; every time she mentioned divorce, his entire face would scowl.<div>


    Justst night, they were fine. Today, as soon as Nie Chenng appeared, it was as if Shen Chi had lost her soul.


    “Stop making a fuss; let’s go home,” Shen Chi looked at Xu Chaomu.


    “Mr. Shen, I heard from Chaomu that your marriage certificate was obtained through illegal means,” Nie Chenng said.


    “Illegal means? Xu Chaomu,e here; I promise I won’t kill you.”


    “Shen Chi, I was unaware of that marriage certificate. Of course, if you insist on not divorcing me, then go ahead and sue me for bigamy. I don’t mind!”


    “How touching, you’d rather go to jail than be apart from him?” Shen Chi pointed at Nie Chenng.


    “Yes,” Xu Chaomu responded.


    “Then don’t regret it!” Shen Chi was annoyed and raised his voice.


    “I won’t regret it,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.


    “Fine, get lost!” Shen Chi was furious.


    Xu Chaomu knew that when this man was angry, all his patience and good temper must have been exhausted.


    These past few days, he had treated her quite well, and she hadn’t given him any trouble.


    But now, let him be angry. She and he weren’t meant to be anyway. He deserved someone better by his side. And she, too, couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.<div>


    So, let it be.


    “Chenng, let’s go,” Xu Chaomu whispered, pulling Nie Chenng’s arm as they passed by Shen Chi.


    Shen Chi’s fists clenched tight, his eyes reddened, a demonic chill on his face.


    While Shen Chi didn’t change his mind, Xu Chaomu hurriedly pulled Nie Chenng down the stairs, rushing to the parking lot, and without pause got back into the car.


    “Drive!” Xu Chaomu told the driver.


    Nie Chenngforted her: “Don’t let Shen Chi intimidate you.”


    Nie Chenng had been back in C City for a while now, and he had heard about Shen Chi from others early on.


    “I’ve been scared by him for eight years; I’m immune to it now,” Xu Chaomu pouted.


    “Then why did you run?”


    “If I don’t run, should I wait to be ughtered? That man is very frightening.”


    “He won’t do anything to you, after all, you’ve called him ‘big brother’ for eight years.”


    “Big brother”… The term once again silenced Xu Chaomu.


    Five yearster, returning to C City, she never called him “Fourth Brother” again. The title “Fourth Brother” was once unique to them.<div>


    But five years ago, after she took the bullet for him, she paid off her debt to him.
