Chapter 300 - Never Let Go
“It’s okay, Lui. The doctor said the baby is fine. I’m okay.” Li Manni shielded her belly with her hands cautiously. The first trimester of pregnancy was the most dangerous. Thus, they had been extremely careful. It showed how much they cared about this baby and how important it was to them.
“I know. Still, it’s better to be careful.” Chu Lui’s arm tightened around Li Manni’s waist, and it tightened even more protectively. Then, he opened the umbrella and guided her carefully out of the hospital entrance. Li Manni cowered her body as the wind blew the rain onto them. Even though Chu Lui’s jacket was around her, she still felt cold nonetheless.
“Cold?” A look of genuine concern flashed across Chu Lui’s eyes. It was not good for her body like this. How would she be able to nurture their child? Looking at her stomach, it pained him considerably—a feeling he had never felt before. He did not know that pregnancy could be so tough on a woman.
Li Manni nodded her head slightly as she smiled gently. “Just a bit… but, with you by my side, I’m not afraid.” She leaned even closer to Chu Lui. As long as he was with her, she did not feel cold at all.
Bear with it for a while more. It won’t be cold once we’re in the car. Chu Lui held onto her waist tightly as he shifted the umbrella more in her direction.
As it turned out, he could be gentle depending on who he was with.
Xia Ruoxin stood rooted to the spot while droplets of rain beat on her soaked body. Actually, she felt numb from the cold. She merely stared at the pair as they walked closer and closer towards her. All the while, they only had eyes on each other. They did not notice the woman who was soaked from the rain.
