Chapter 424: Listen to the Child in the Belly
At dawn the next day, as the morning light just pierced through the clouds, Gao Jun had already driven to the company building.
With steady steps, he walked straight towards Li Ziyan's office.
The moment he pushed open the fire escape door on the floor, the unique morning tranquility still filled the corridor, with only a few cleaning staff busy in the distance.
The door to Li Ziyan's office was ajar, and through the gap, he saw her working at her desk.
The white shirt hugged her graceful figure, with a few strands of hair falling on her delicate profile, and the way she focused on her documents had a distinctive charm.
Gao Jun raised his hand and knocked lightly three times. Without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and stepped in, closing the heavy wooden door behind him. With a "click," the lock engaged, isolating the office from the outside world.
This crisp and decisive action made Li Ziyan's breath hitch, and her fingers tightened slightly around the pen.
She looked up at this familiar yet imposing man, her cheeks involuntarily flushing red.
Gao Jun had always been like this, bringing an air of undeniable dominance whenever they were alone.
"Jun," she softly uttered, her voice softer than usual.
A meaningful smile curved at the corner of Gao Jun's mouth as he walked towards the window.
The dark gray curtains quickly drew shut in his hands, completely blocking out the exterior light. Only the warm yellow glow from the desk lamp remained, casting an intimate halo over the two.
His leather shoes made almost no sound against the carpet, yet it felt like a drumbeat in Li Ziyan's heart.
When his familiar presence enveloped her, Li Ziyan instinctively held her breath.
Gao Jun's hand cradled the back of her head, his thumb gently stroking the smooth skin.
Li Ziyan's luscious red lips were just inches away, glistening seductively, causing his Adam's apple to bob unconsciously.
All restraint crumbled at this moment. He bent down and kissed her fiercely, with the urgency of a long-awaited reunion.
Li Ziyan was momentarily stunned, then wrapped her arms around his neck, passionately responding to his fervent affection.
She was madly in love with this man, every embrace felt as if they wanted to meld into each other's bones.
With their intense kisses, Li Ziyan's breathing grew increasingly rapid, her chest heaving violently.
Her beautiful face turned rosy, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her earlobes, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
"Jun, let's go to the sofa…" she breathlessly whispered.
The leather sofa in the office was broad and soft, now becoming their private love nest.
"Alright! Let's try today, perhaps our baby will come." Gao Jun's voice was low and hoarse, brimming with undisguised excitement.
Li Ziyan's face turned crimson instantly. The notion of nurturing a new life brought her both anticipation and anxiety.
"Didn't we agree to wait a bit longer?" she softly protested, but faltered under Gao Jun's slightly displeased gaze, "Don't be mad, Jun, I will definitely give birth to our child. Just… let me prepare a little more."
Gao Jun didn't say another word, simply lifting her up in his arms.
Li Ziyan let out a surprised cry, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.
His steady steps carried an undeniable force, taking just a few strides to reach the sofa.
"Ziyan, it's your safe period today, so let's take our chances. You know, the probability of conceiving now is very low." He gently laid her on the sofa, his heated gaze trailing over her body.
Li Ziyan bit her lower lip, her consciousness tangled in a battle.
Under Gao Jun's fervent gaze, she ultimately surrendered.
"I'll do as you say, but… be gentle with me." She proactively wrapped her arms around his waist, looking up at him, her eyes filled with love and shyness.
"Jun, kiss me."
Those words were the spark that ignited the flames.
Gao Jun bent down again, his scorching kisses raining down.
They entangled on the soft sofa, their clothes scattering aside, the office filled with a thick atmosphere of desire...
After what seemed like an eternity, Li Ziyan lay limp in Gao Jun's arms, panting softly.
The spring sunlight, having pierced through the clouds at some point, streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, enveloping their intertwined bodies.
She felt the strong heartbeat of the man, her heart filled with happiness.
"Jun, what if I really get pregnant this time?" she murmured, her fingers absentmindedly tracing circles on his chest.
"Pregnancy is a huge joy, that's what we've been hoping for, isn't it?" Gao Jun kissed the top of her head, his voice tender.
Li Ziyan softly responded, her heart already long anticipating the day she would become a mother.
"After this period, let's try every day, and bring our baby into this world as soon as possible."
"Alright..." Li Ziyan nestled closer, listening to his steady heartbeat, an unprecedented sense of security surrounding her.
This feeling of being deeply loved was something she had never experienced before in her life.
However, happy times are always fleeting.
Gao Jun glanced at his watch and slowly got up.
"Ziyan, I have some matters to attend to, I need to leave now." He gently smoothed her disheveled hair, his eyes filled with reluctance, "In the future, come to the company if you want to work, or stay home to rest and prepare for pregnancy. Don't worry about anything."
Li Ziyan nodded, watching him dress.
Just as he was about to open the door to leave, she couldn't help but call out to him.
Gao Jun turned around, and she gave him a lingering kiss.
"Be careful on the road." With a trace of affection, Gao Jun kissed her forehead once again before finally leaving.
Exiting the office, Gao Jun composed himself and drove to Li Ya's residence.
Li Ya's villa was located in an upscale suburban area surrounded by lush greenery and a serene environment.
As soon as he drove into the courtyard, he saw Li Ya in a light blue dress sitting in the pavilion.
The pavilion was built of wood, with wisteria climbing around it. At this time of year, the pale purple flowers were in full bloom, adding a touch of romance to the scene.
Li Ya heard the car and turned around with a bright smile. Her pregnant belly was already prominently protruding, yet she still moved gracefully.
She stood up slowly, supporting herself on the pavilion post. Gao Jun quickly walked over and naturally took her arm.
"Little Jun, you're here." Her voice was gentle, her eyes filled with joy.
"Be careful." Gao Jun helped her sit back down, his concerned gaze falling on her pregnant belly.
On the stone table in the pavilion was a parenting book and a cup of steaming herbal tea.
Outside the yard's fence was a large lawn, meticulously designed by Gao Jun with rockeries, streams, and greenery artfully arranged, like a delicate painting.
"How's the baby doing lately?" Gao Jun gently caressed her pregnant belly, feeling the warmth of life.
Li Ya's face radiated happiness, "Very well, this little one is quite active, often turning somersaults in my belly. Feel it."
She placed Gao Jun's hand on her belly, her eyes full of expectation.
Gao Jun held his breath, feeling the faint movements inside, a surge of warmth flooding his heart.
"Let me listen." He carefully pressed his ear against her belly, but could only hear muffled sounds through the sweater.
"Let's go inside the room, it's quieter there."
Li Ya's cheeks turned slightly red as she nodded in agreement. The nanny saw this scene and just smiled, turning away, long accustomed to their ways.
The bedroom was cozy and elegant, with pink curtains swaying gently in the breeze.
Li Ya sat on the bed, slowly lifting her sweater to reveal her rounded pregnant belly.
Gao Jun knelt before her, placing his ear against the smooth skin, listening intently.
The faint sounds from within seemed like the most beautiful melody in the world.
In that moment, he felt the wonder and greatness of life.
After a long time, he raised his head, his eyes filled with love, and leaned in to kiss Li Ya's lips.
"Little Jun..." Li Ya softly murmured, wrapping her arms around his neck. In the cozy bedroom, they were immersed in a blissful atmosphere.
