The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Ch.365 Delivery (1)

Under her family's care, Su Yaya's body got better each day, her belly was also getting bigger and bigger, Shen Xiuqi would accompany her to the hospital every week for check-ups. When it was time for any check-up, Shen Xiuqi was even more aware of this than Su Yaya.

When they got to the hospital, Shen Xiuqi would be the one, running up and down, queuing to pay the fees, collecting the examination report, and being with Su Yaya to listen to the doctor's instructions. When they got home, he followed the doctor's advice, with absolutely no slip ups, he was even more cautious than Su Yaya.

Su Yaya signed up for pregnancy classes, and Shen Xiuqi always followed along. He didn't want Su Yaya to run up and down in such a tiring manner, so he was planning to get a teacher to teach Su Yaya at home. It was Su Yaya who said that the atmosphere wouldn't be right if she had the classes alone at home, she could also talk with the other pregnant mothers about their experiences in class, which would be more useful. Shen Xiuqi agreed with her after some thought, and let her be.

In class, the teacher would start her lecture, and Shen Xiuqi would be by Su Yaya's side. He listened very carefully to what the teacher was saying, and sometimes took notes. If he had some sort of confusion, he would raise his hand to ask questions and kindly ask the teacher to repeat herself.

The other pregnant mothers also noticed that Shen Xiuqi was handsome, gentle, and treated Su Yaya so well. He always accompanied Su Yaya to class and he was much more attentive in class than Su Yaya, the mother. They were all absolutely envious.

There is harm in comparing, many pregnant mothers couldn't help but complain to their husbands, and showed them how other people's husbands are like as compared to them. It's really a world apart, the difference was too huge.

The men who had an earful from their wives, took another look at Shen Xiuqi, the benchmark. They weren't half as handsome as him, they didn't earn as much money as him, on top of that, their family background and status were totally incomparable. That is reincarnation done the right way. Even with these aside, why couldn't they even win him in such a trivial matter, to accompany their wives in pregnancy class, how very very very shameful. The fathers who all lost when compared to Shen Xiuqi, all reflected on themselves and corrected their attitudes. Later when they came with their wives to the pregnancy class, they were obviously more patient and more serious than before.

Time flew by quickly, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, Su Yaya had reached her expected due date, and her belly might pop any moment now. Su Yaya herself was rather calm, and Shen Xiuqi was much more nervous than her.

Every night, Su Yaya and Shen Xiuqi slept together, sometimes even just turning and adjusting her posture, Shen Xiuqi would startle awake from sleep, in fear that she was about to go into labour.

That night, Su Yaya was feeling uncomfortable as she laid on the left side of her body and wanted to turn around. In order to not wake Shen Xiuqi, she tried to turn her upper body first, and then slowly turn the rest of her with her hands supporting her belly. She was really careful about her every movement and she didn't even bump into Shen Xiuqi, but Shen Xiuqi, who was sleeping next to her, still woke up.

"Yaya, what's the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Xiuqi opened his eyes and asked with much concern.

Su Yaya stretched out her hand and patted him, "I'm fine, I just wanted to turn around, go back to sleep."

Shen Xiuqi let out a "um", reached out to touch her belly, and asked, "The baby is not bothering you, right?"

Su Yaya smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the baby is sleeping soundly just like us, so you, the father, should go back to sleep and don't worry so much."

Shen Xiuqi was amused by Su Yaya's words, leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, before saying, "Let's go back to sleep."

"Yeah." Su Yaya closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Shen Xiuqi watched as she closed her eyes, and he did the same.
