When Shu Pan returned to the hospital room, Gu Shaoting was resting with closed eyes. She walked over quietly, but even her slightest movements seemed to disturb Gu Shaoting. His brows furrowed, and his eyelids slowly opened.

“Where did you just go?” Gu Shaoting’s tone wasn’t very pleasant. It was as if he was interrogating a wife who had stayed out all night.

“Nowhere special, just wandered around outside,” Shu Pan answered while looking at him. She wasn’t sure if Tong Fei had been stirring up trouble in front of him.

“Did you meet someone?” Gu Shaoting asked again, his expression growing darker.

“Met a crazy doctor,” Shu Pan sighed helplessly. She knew Gu Shaoting had misunderstood, but she was too tired to explain. The innocent could clear themselves.

Moreover, the words that Song Can left her with when she departed still lingered in her ears. She decided to go with the flow. Exiting from the upper echelons of society would be a kind of liberation. After being married for so long, she never truly fit in. It turned out that the saying “One needs to marry into an appropriate family” held some truth.

Her only reliance now was her unborn child, the precious baby she cared deeply for. Thankfully, the baby seemed to care for her as well. She was over three months pregnant, but her symptoms were relatively mild. Her appetite was slightly affected, but everything else was fine.

Gu Shaoting suspected she was hiding something and wasn’t willing to say more. His expression grew even darker.

Seeing his gloomy face, Shu Pan decided to stay silent as well.

“Shu Pan, I hope you always remember that I’m still your husband. We haven’t divorced yet, so it’s best for you to watch your words and actions. I don’t want to end up being cuckolded someday and become a laughingstock without even Imowing it,” Gu Shaoting’s words felt like a dagger piercing her heart. Her expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant, and she almost bit her lip in frustration.

It turned out he believed Tong Fei’s side of the story, never truly believing her from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking about it, it was truly pitiful. After being married to him for several years, this was the image of her that he held in his mind.

Shu Pan was about to explain but stopped herself mid-sentence. The words got caught in her throat. She didn’t want to defend herself—the more she said, the more mistakes she might make.

She quietly changed the topic, “What would you like to eat later? I’ll prepare something for you. ”

Gu Shaoting looked at her as if she was just enduring everything. Suddenly, he felt somewhat annoyed. He didn’t speak, and the atmosphere in the room turned a bit colder.

The room fell silent for a moment, carrying a touch of desolation.

Gu Shaoting stayed in the hospital for four days before being discharged. Shu Pan had been busy taking care of everything, and now she finally had a chance to rest.

Recently, she saw pregnant women coming in and out of the hospital. It reminded her that she was pregnant too and that she needed to schedule her regular checkups, as advised by the doctor.

She couldn’t help but place her hand on her belly and murmur apologetically,

“Baby, I’m sorry, Mom neglected you.”

On that day, after Gu Shaoting left the house, she went to the hospital for her prenatal checkup.

People came and went in the hospital, especially in the obstetrics and gynecology department. All the pregnant women wore smiles on their faces, emitting happiness from the bottom of their hearts. They were accompanied by their husbands or family members for the checkups.

But Shu Pan was alone. A happy pregnant woman next to her asked, “How far along are you? Why are you alone? Don’t you have anyone to accompany you?”

“About four months. My family is quite busy, and I can manage on my own, ” Shu Pan replied, her lips pursed.

“However, next time you can bring your husband along. At four months, you can see the baby clearly. After all, it’s the product of your love. Watching the baby grow day by day is truly a happy thing. ”

Looking at the expectant mother beside her with a rosy complexion and her husband attentively caring for her, Shu Pan was really envious..
