Chapter 237 - First Kick
"I think your sister doesn't like me." Jia Li said to him.
Glancing at her, Fu Hua asked with a smile, "Why do you think so?" Not waiting for her to reply, he added, "Is it because of her attitude towards you?"
"Exactly." Jia Li replied with a worried gaze. It bothered her that her sister-in-law didn't like her. And she wondered how she had offended her when it was just their first time meeting.
Thinking back to FangSu's words when they exchanged greeting, 'I have heard a lot about you', she wondered if her mother-in-law said some words against her that made FangSu dislike her or maybe the reason was different.
"Don't think too much about it. She is probably jealous about you. She used to be the most doted upon by the family before she left. She must have felt bad when she saw you receiving the same treatment that she used to receive." Fu Hua said with a smile.
"Are you saying she is jealous that I'm being treated well by you and grandfather?" Jia Li asked as she couldn't make meaning of that reasoning.
"You can put it that way. FangSu is spoilt, so don't think too much about it. Is that the reason you were so worried?" Fu Hu asked as he pulled her to sit on his thighs.
Jia Li's facial expression still didn't look good, so Fu Hua decided to change the topic.
"You are heavier now, what have you been eating?"
"I don't know." Jia Li replied as she glanced at him. She even adjusted herself to sit comfortably on his thighs.
Fu Hua chuckled and brought his hand in front of her night robe. Quickly, his right hand unfastened the belt of her robe and opened it.
"You're not wearing anything." Fu Hua said as he caressed her abdomen and stared into her eyes.
"I'm putting on something." Jia Li replied as she enjoyed his hands caressing her baby bump.
Jia Li was putting on cotton panties and a cotton sports bra that had thin pads inside. The bra was so comfortable that she didn't have any problems with wearing it to sleep.
As she was already 6 months pregnant, her breasts were heavy and painful and added to the fact that she was busty already before putting on some weight there, she couldn't sleep like that and had to support the weight of her breasts.
As she said she was putting on something, Fu Hua opened her robe very well to see that she was indeed putting on her undies. Because of her baby bump, it wasn't easy to see her panties, unless he opened the robe well and glanced at the side of her waist.
Fu Hua's fingers, slightly cupped her left breast and asked, "Is it painful?" Jia Li nodded in response.
"Sorry, let me massage it for you." Fu Hua said as he started to gently rub her breast through her bra.
"You will make it more painful." Jia Li said with a frown as she held back his hand.
"I'm sorry. The doctor said it's normal, so you might have to bear with it for a while. We have four additional months before we can see our child, so bear with it." Fu Hua said as he leaned in to kiss her cheek before going back to caressing her baby bump.
It didn't take up to a few seconds before Jia Li and Fu Hua both felt the kick from the baby. There were surprised smiles on their faces as they glanced at each other.
"Did I just feel the baby kick right now?" Jia Li asked in a hushed tone as she stared at Fu Hua wide-eyed, for fear that the baby might hear her.
"I felt it too." Fu Hua replied with a happy smile as he continued caressing her baby bump to see if the child would react again.
This was the first time they were feeling the baby kick and they experienced their first time together.
You need to have seen the priceless expression on their faces. When they both felt the baby kick for the second time, they couldn't help chuckling happily.
Fu Hua took Jia Li's hand and pressed it on her baby bump, as his other hand, pressed on her hand.
The baby seemed to be happy at feeling its parents' hands on it and so it kicked a few times. The kicks were gentle, so Jia Li didn't feel any pain.
Jia Li and Fu Hua took some time as they conversed with their child. Jia Li could see the happy smile on Fu Hua's face when he talked to the child and she could tell he didn't regret having the child with her and so she smiled brightly.
When the baby finally stopped responding, Fu Hua kissed Jia Li softly on the cheek before tying the belt of her robe.
"I'm going to take a shower, you can go to bed first." Fu Hua said to her as they both stood to their feet. Jia Li went to the bed to lay down, while Fu Hua went to have his night bath.
In Grandfather Fu's study, he sat on the sofa with FangSu and said to her, "SuSu, it's wrong to be jealous of your sister-in-law, you are no longer a child that should feel bad if the attention that was given to you is shared. And besides, your sister-in-law is a quiet person and she is easy to get along with. I will be very happy if you stop your childish acts and be good to her."
FangSu was unhappy that her grandfather called her attention-seeking a childish act but she didn't show it.
Grandfather Fu knew she was unhappy and decided to change the topic since he still cared about her feelings. She just came back and it wasn't right to scold her.
"Tell me about your experience over there, you must have encountered a lot." Grandfather Fu said she gazed at her with a smile.
FangSu recovered a bit after he changed the topic and went on to recount all the encounters she experienced over there and didn't forget to keep mentioning Bai Jun in most of the conversation.
Grandfather Fu's countenance did not look so good with the way she kept mentioning Bai Jun but he didn't say anything about it.
Bai Jun has always been FangSu's best friend since their childhood days, so telling her right now to stop associating with her will never work, so Grandfather didn't say anything about it.
He was looking for an opportunity to stop her interactions with the daughter of the Bai family.
