Chapter 1957: Any Pregnancy Symptoms?

Gao Zhe feigned ignorance, “What do you mean ‘what to do’?”

Lu Zhenzhen vented her frustration by stepping on him hard, “Keep pretending!”

Gao Zhe let out a muffled groan; this time it really hurt. He was hissing through his teeth, bent down and lifted her up, “Don’t worry about it, you wash up, I’ll take care of you.”

“Take care… how do you plan to take care…?”

“Think back? It’s not the first time.”

He pushed the bathroom door, dimmed the lights, and soon, Lu Zhenzhen’s embarrassed scolding and his gentle coaxing were mixed together.

They stayed up late before finally going to sleep.

The next day, Lu Zhenzhen woke up naturally, with the sky already bright outside. A thin veil couldn’t block the sunlight streaming in. Her mind was muddled and unwilling to get up, squinting as she rested her arm on her brow, before finally waking up a bit more and opening her eyes.

Gao Zhe was no longer in bed.

She lifted the covers; she was wearing a two-piece pajama set. In the second half of the night, Gao Zhe had carried her to wash again. She had fallen asleep in a daze, without noticing when he dressed her.

She accidentally glanced at the time; it was already one in the afternoon.

Lu Zhenzhen was not worried. She leaned against the headboard and, after turning on her phone, saw a lot of missed calls. The last one was at half-past nine, and then, no one from the company contacted her.

She had been managing in the company for many years, nurturing a lot of young blood with ability, courage, and management skills. Even if Lu Zhenzhen was occasionally absent, they could maintain the situation.

She returned a call to the deputy manager, briefly inquired about the situation, and instructed that if there were urgent documents, they should email them to her, as she wouldn’t be going to the company today.

The deputy manager wasn’t surprised. After reporting the work, he didn’t ask much, respectfully greeted her, and hung up the phone.

“I’ve already arranged everything over at Lu’s,” Gao Zhe came in with a cup of clear water, “Before you woke up, I dealt with all the work in your mailbox. Take a good rest at home today.”

He came over, testing the water temperature again before handing it to her, “Hungry? Want to get up?”

Lu Zhenzhen drank half the cup of clear water. Normally, she would lie back down and continue sleeping, at most get up to use the restroom, too lazy to move. When she was really too hungry to stand it, she’d get up and eat.

But it’s different now; she subconsciously touched her belly, “I’m hungry. I want to eat Chinese food.”

“I’ll take you to eat, drive you there.”

Gao Zhe brought over a dress he had prepared long ago, a black one that showed the waist. She wasn’t visibly pregnant yet, so wearing this kind of style was fine.

Lu Zhenzhen was used to wearing the clothes he chose for her every day.

In the bathroom, the toothpaste was already squeezed, and Gao Zhe handed her a cup of hot water, staying beside her while she brushed her teeth, his gaze flicking between her face and belly several times, ultimately fixing on her face.

“Zhenzhen, don’t you have any early pregnancy symptoms? Have you vomited?”

“No, I haven’t.”

Lu Zhenzhen had just finished using the facial cleanser and was wiping her face, checking the date in passing.

“I’m doing well. No symptoms at all. Others say that if you don’t know, you don’t feel it. Once you find out, those pregnancy symptoms will suddenly appear, but I don’t have them. I don’t vomit, my appetite is fine, and I’m not picky about food. I’ve even stayed up late working a few times, and nothing’s happened.”

She spoke lightly, but Gao Zhe was sweating from fear.

“You stayed up late?”

“Ah, is it strange for me to stay up late? Didn’t I stay up late often?” Lu Zhenzhen spoke as if it was obvious.

With a pile of work to handle, what’s wrong with staying up late?
