Chapter 1175: Extreme Care

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi pounded softly on his chest, tears spilling from her eyes as her voice broke. "Su Shen, do you not want me anymore? Do you think I’m fat now? Ugly? You don’t even hold me, don’t come close to me... If you didn’t want me, why did you get me pregnant in the first place? Why, Su Shen?"

For a moment, Su Shen stood frozen—then realization dawned. She wasn’t unwell in the physical sense—this was emotional. Hormonal. Psychological. And the panic that rose in his chest was swift and fierce.

He reached out immediately, his voice gentler than silk. "Gu Zi... how could I possibly dislike you? You’re still my girl. My gorgeous, beautiful girl. You’re not fat! You’re glowing. Please don’t cry, darling... don’t cry."

As he spoke, he carefully wiped away her tears, his fingertips barely brushing her delicate skin, terrified that the calluses on his hands might hurt her.

She didn’t know it, but every tear that rolled down her cheek felt like a dagger to his chest. And he blamed himself. The doctor had warned him about mood swings—how pregnancy hormones could send emotions into chaos. But still, he hadn’t been thoughtful enough. Hadn’t noticed early enough. Hadn’t cared for her heart the way he should have.

Gu Zi, observing the tenderness in his eyes, the guilt swimming just beneath his gaze, softened a little. It didn’t seem like he was lying. So she looked up at him with a pout and asked, "Then why haven’t you been holding me when we sleep?"

Ah. So that was it.

Su Shen sighed, somewhere between amusement and helplessness. "My darling girl... I’m still a man. When I’m that close to you, I’m afraid I might not be able to control myself. And believe me—you haven’t gotten ugly. Not one bit. Your skin is glowing. You’re breathtaking."

She narrowed her eyes, still not entirely convinced. Looping her arms around his neck, she leaned in and murmured coyly, "I don’t believe you... unless you kiss me. Right now."

Su Shen chuckled, the deep affection in his eyes unmistakable. He tilted her chin up and kissed her—softly at first, as if afraid she might shatter in his hands. But desire, long restrained, had a way of warming even the most careful lips. His kiss deepened, wandering from her lips to her slender neck, his hands instinctively drawn to the softness of her body, now fuller, more voluptuous.
