With the approaching footsteps, the magazine in Liang Anya’s hands was whisked away with a "whoosh"!

She looked up, and as expected, a pair of gemstone blue eyes were glaring at her:

"Feed me!"

Compared to how she treated the servants earlier, her confidence waned slightly, but she still hugged her knees and turned her head away: "Not hungry."

"You might not be hungry, but my child is! Eat, even if you have to force yourself!" Si Yuheng picked up a piece of salmon from the plate and brought it to her lips.

She gritted her teeth: "I don’t want to eat fish!"

"Salmon is rich in DHA, which is good for the baby’s brain development. The child born won’t have an IQ lower than mine!"

Ugh, so narcissistic! She scoffed. She didn’t want to do as he wished, and started making excuses: "The fish is too fishy, it makes me want to vomit!"

He put the salmon back and picked up a grilled lamb chop from the plate: "Then eat the lamb chop!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

There was no shortage of prepared food, surely there was something she would like.

"Lamb chops are too big! I can’t bite into that!"

She continued to turn her head, not even deigning to glance at it.

Huh... why is there no movement for so long!

When she turned her head curiously, she saw Si Yuheng skillfully cutting the lamb chops for her.

His technique was adept and meticulous, cutting the lamb chops into small pieces that were just the right size for her to swallow in one bite.

After cutting it, Si Yuheng saw her staring at him and, to prevent her from finding more excuses, he forked a small piece of the lamb chop and fed it to her mouth, growling impatiently: "Open your mouth!"

At the room’s entrance, the subordinates of Beiming Hall glanced at each other.

The Hall Master coddles Miss Liang to the point of stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food; he might as well carry her to the bathroom too!

Perhaps she ran out of excuses, or maybe she tired of playing games with Si Yuheng, or she could simply be really hungry—Liang Anya stopped making a fuss.

Under Si Yuheng’s feeding, she cleaned up a whole plate of grilled lamb chops, drank a bit of chicken soup, and had a small bowl of rice.

After eating, her stomach became even more round and bulging, but exceptionally satisfying.

Seeing this disobedient woman eat to her heart’s content, the displeasure on Si Yuheng’s face finally dissipated, his lips curving into an inexplicable smile of satisfaction.

After dinner, the day turned to dusk.

Si Yuheng instructed the maid to prepare bath water: "There’s underwear and pajamas that were just bought in the wardrobe. After you bathe, put those on first. Tomorrow I’ll have someone buy you new clothes."

It seems she had no choice but to resign herself to the situation.

Liang Anya hummed, bent down to take off her shoes to change into slippers and bathe.

But as she bent over, the protruding belly stopped her halfway, unable to bend any further.

These days had all been like this.

As the belly grew bigger, bending over had become a bit difficult.

Accustomed to it, she was about to slowly sink down with some effort when she saw a tall figure approaching her, casting a shadow in her view.

Si Yuheng crouched beside her, slowly taking off the shoes on her feet.

While she was still in shock, he picked up her ankle and fitted the slippers on her feet, one on the left and one on the right.

The slippers, clearly oversized and definitely fitting her foot size, felt a bit tight and hard to get into.

During pregnancy, it’s common for women to suffer from swelling and cramps in their feet.

She was no exception.

He had never considered how tough it could be to carry a child, his gaze deepening as he took her ankle and curiously squeezed it.

"Ouch... gentler, please." Liang Anya cried out in pain.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Every day my feet cramp up, okay." Liang Anya replied irritably.

Because of her anger, her tone carried a petulant undertone.

Si Yuheng’s fingers gently pinched.

As if a warm current passed through her meridians, the top of her foot felt much more comfortable.

She hadn’t expected this man to have such good massage skills!

She was so comfortable that she couldn’t help but instruct: "Pinch a bit more... there... a little more to the left..."

Why should she suffer alone?

Since she couldn’t leave and he was taking care of her personally, not to order him around would be foolish!

At the door, a subordinate of Beiming Hall watched Miss Liang enjoy a treatment like that of the Empress Dowager, and couldn’t help but be utterly shocked.

So rare to see.

Although the Hall Master had favored many women over the years, they were generally treated as playthings; he never lowered himself like this!

And now, the formidable leader of Beiming Hall was actually giving a pregnant woman a foot massage...

Moreover, there was no hint of disgruntlement on the Hall Master’s face, instead, he looked quite pleased...

Simply unbelievable!

Inside the room, Si Yuheng was giving a foot massage, when he heard Liang Anya clutch her stomach and let out an "Aiyo".

"What’s wrong?!" Si Yuheng immediately looked anxious.

Liang Anya’s face was a bit embarrassed as she lowered her hand: "Nothing, it’s nothing."

Seeing her hesitant manner, Si Yuheng, frowning, refused to believe her: "Nothing? Really? Fine, I’ll go call the doctor."

Shen Jingbing, is there a need to exaggerate? Liang Anya had no choice but to say, "The baby... kicked me..."

His handsome features slowly relaxed, revealing a curiosity quite different from usual.

Before Liang Anya could react, Si Yuheng leaned down and, with slightly closed eyes, attentively listened for the baby’s movement.

He had experienced gang fights, been through blood and storm, and even witnessed his closest people die before his eyes...

But this was a moment he had never experienced before.

His chaotic world seemed to quieten down in an instant.

Liang Anya’s breath hitched, and her heart pounded somewhat fiercely.

"Is it moving? Why didn’t I hear anything?" His dissatisfied voice drifted over.

She bit her teeth, somewhat sheepishly, but still instinctively pushed his head up a bit: "You’re listening in the wrong place, alright?"

This man, whether intentional or not, had his whole head nestled between her legs. He was not listening to the baby’s movement, it was clearly like taking advantage!

He pressed against her belly, and after a dozen seconds, he finally satisfied: "The heir of Beiming Hall is indeed impressive, such strong flipping movements."

Ever since she knew she was pregnant, what she had been scheming all along was how to abort the child.

After feeling the baby move, even though she realized that the baby was no longer just an embryo and had already become a life capable of sensing the outside world, she still thought about how to give it up.

Yet at this moment, there was a rare sense of peace and warmth.

The little life in her belly calmed down in the company of both of them.

A few minutes later, she quietly spoke: "Okay, I want to take a bath now."

Si Yuheng stood up, but then suddenly picked her up and walked towards the bathroom.

By the time she reacted: "I can wash by myself!"

"Of course you’ll wash yourself, do you expect me to do it for you?" Si Yuheng frowned, "I’m just worried you might slip! The bathroom floor is slippery; if you injure the baby, watch out for what I’ll do to you!"

Si Yuheng carried her to the side of the bathtub before setting her down.

Watching him turn to leave the bathroom, Liang Anya came to her senses, clenched her fists, and finally spoke up: "Si Yuheng!"

Probably, she was the only person who could call his name so directly.

Si Yuheng turned around, raising an eyebrow: "Don’t tell me you really want me to wash you?"
