By her side, her whimpers were low, teasing the strings of his heart. He desperately wanted, truly desired to recklessly possess her, and yet he could not, must not, it wasn't right. He had to be careful and cautious, slow down, slow down even more…
Suddenly, the woman in his arms stiffened, her body froze. She grasped his hand, calling out in surprise.
"Huo Ge, hurry…"
"Hmm?!" His voice was deep and hoarse, heavy with breath. He didn't grasp the meaning of her 'hurry'.
"The baby… the baby moved, there was fetal movement…"
His heart clenched, and Master Xing stopped moving.
Speaking of Lian Qiao's pregnancy, it was indeed strange. The morning sickness was worse than when she was pregnant with Sanqi, not subsiding until the sixth month, although all the prenatal checkups were normal. The doctors said most fetuses would move between four to five months along, stretching their arms and kicking in the womb, but their little one had never shown any movement before.
