Chapter 186 - Pregnancy Checkup
His neatly combed hair was messy, covering his forehead, making his face look less cold but also somewhat mischievous. She wondered what he’ll look like if he opened his eyes now.
She gently ran her hands over his eyes and eyebrows and muttered, “Brother Yun… Zhao Yang and Xingxing’s hearts must be filled with happiness when they call you that.”
Because they were the only two people in the world who could call him that and the way they addressed him represented their protection.
Although she didn’t know what unforgivable things the Tang Family did to Xia Zhixing, this man had decided to protect her with his life. Tang Xin thought that it must be love.
Everyone had something they clung onto, but it was rare to see someone like him who clung onto something for half of his life.
He was cold-blooded, merciless, and bad. But his cold-blooded actions, his merciless, and his badness were all for a reason.
Under his cold appearance, there was the dead loneliness and grief hidden deep in his heart which no one could get a glimpse of. A man like this was unhateable, indeed unhateable.
“You are this drunk because you are worried about your Little Star, right?” Her soft and gentle voice was like an angel. Tang Xin stretched her hand out and caressed his frown even when he was drunk, “Don’t worry, she will be back. She will definitely come back. And… I’m sorry.”
Whether it was her fault or not, she owed him an apology.
Tang Xin felt his frown gradually ceased and her lips curved up slightly. As expected, it was because of his Little Star.
She took her hand back and pulled the blanket over him. She poured the water in the bathroom and saw that the man had thrown the blanket to the side after she came back.

The door closed lightly. The person laying in the dark slowly opened his eyes. It was sharp, incisive, and mixed with complicated feelings and gentleness.
…
Life continued in its usual way. The Li and Tang Enterprise were competing against each other continuously. However, Tang Xin discovered that Li Yunshen always stared at her with his deep eyes but he never said anything.
It was different today; Zhao Yang ran inside, wild with joy. She whispered something by his ears and he stood up in shock, unable to control himself and sprinted outside. Even Zhao Yang seemed pleased with herself when she glanced at Tang Xin right before she left, as if she was trying to provoke her.
In her heart, she knew that he probably found the girl, someone who used to be her best friend.
…
At the hospital…
It was the day of Tang Xin’s pregnancy checkup. She had applied for a half-day leave and arrived at the hospital.
It was impossible for her to not feel anxious at her first checkup, but she became courageous when she thought of the baby in her stomach.
The doctor told her that the baby was maturing well, but he repeatedly told her to relax and to not be so nervous because the mother’s emotions would affect the fetus’ development.
Tang Xin listened to the doctor’s instructions seriously and walked out of the room in relief.
She couldn’t help but stop and look at the other pregnant women in the corridor, thinking about how she was going to be like them in a few months. Life would be hard but full of sweet happiness.
Suddenly, she saw someone familiar flash before her. She stopped smiling and looked up…
