Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 784: Hide it like a dirty secret?Shen Li was simply speechless, he looked at his flat belly and then turned to look at Doctor Gu before he swallowed his words again and again before licking his lips, he wanted to ask whether it was true or not but at the same time he was scared after all, it had been so many years and he was so old too, even if Yu Dong's powers made his body sturdier than before, in the end, the fact did not change that he was an old mer now.          

    

" Brother Li! Why are you not excited?" Chen Mi who was hugging looked at Shen Li who was sitting on the couch as if he had turned into a stone statue and while holding his shoulders, Chen Mi looked at Shen Li who still had his hand around his belly while staying quiet as a quail.      

Even Ye Liu and the rest caught sight of his weird actions, Ye Liu took a look at Shen Li and hesitatingly asked, " Brother Li, you heard what Doctor Gu said right?"      

" I did … I just can't believe it," replied Shen Li as he looked at his flat abdomen feeling his eyes burn as he softly caressed his belly and then continued to speak, " I just can't believe that I really am with a child, I mean .. I am afraid that as long as I believe this, the child will be…he will be —-" he did not get a chance to finish as both Ye Liu and Chen Mi covered his mouth.      

" Pei, Pei, what are you saying?" Chen Mi scolded Shen Li, they were yet to recover from the loss of one child, what was Shen Li doing saying such cruel words? " This is your child, not some soapy bubble that will vanish if you blow so much as a bubble in front of her. I am sure that the child is healthy and fine!"      

"That's right, why are you thinking of about such things? Are you not worried that you will make your child upset?" Ye Liu also harshly scolded Shen Li, was he not going to say that as long as he accepted that the child was really in his belly, the child will be gone? Pei, what kind of words was he even thinking?      

Shen Li felt his eyes trickle with tears as he turned to look at Doctor Gu causing Ye Liu and Chen Mi's hands to drop from his mouth and then asked, " Doctor Gu, are you sure that I am with a child? There is no mistake right?"      

He had been hoping for this news for almost six to seven months, in the past, he did not want a child with Yu Dong. Even if three to four years were to pass by he would not have cared about having a child with Yu Dong, after all sleeping on the streets was better than having a child in a toxic family but now that he was with the current Yu Dong, all he wanted was to give her a child!     

After waiting for so long, he was finally getting a chance to hear those words but he was too scared that Doctor Gu made a mistake while diagnosing him just now.      

Doctor Gu had seen many mers who had the same reactions as Shen Li which was why she was not at all surprised, after all, how many mers wanted a child but couldn't and when they did they were so shocked that they did not dare to accept that they were with a child lest they were mistaken.      

" You do not have to worry about something like this happening to you, Master Shen," Doctor Gu smilingly told Shen Li as she packed up her wicker basket. " You are three months pregnant and from your pulse, it can be seen that your child is very strong, there is no need for you to worry about anything for the time being but…" her voice grew solemn as she continued speaking,      

" Make sure that there is no repeat of what happened today, if you had fallen on the ground this afternoon, there was a very high chance for your child to get hurt. Even if the foetus is in its third month, it's still in its early stages, if you had fallen just now, surely the child would have gotten hurt. So make sure that you do not fall again and take proper care of your body, all right?"      

She paused and then added, " You are advanced in age unlike women you cannot have kids as soon as you start approaching your thirties, your pregnancy can be considered a late pregnancy if you don't take care of your body, there is a chance that you will lose the child very easily. Keep in mind to nourish your body and not do anything strenuous that will hurt the child or it will become impossible for you to keep your child, do you understand?"     

Doctor Gu was very surprised when she heard that Shen Li was hurt and just now when she heard that he almost fell after taking his pulse, her heart jumped into her throat. She still had not forgotten what happened when Fang Chi lost his child, and that was when Fang Chi was still young compared to him Shen Li was getting older and it was only going to get harder for him to conceive a child if something happened to him today —— just thinking about it was enough to make her shudder.      

" I understand, doctor Gu," even Shen Li realised that he was in really a big trouble just now, if Ye Liu had not caught him in time then he might have really —— he shook his head and then hugged his abdomen tightly. This child came after many begging and prayers, there was no way he was going to let anyone snatch him or her away from him!      

Seeing that Shen Li had understood the severity of his situation as well, a mer aged faster than a woman and man. Of course, if he did not take care then he will get his child into trouble!
