Rebirth of the CEO's Secret Pregnant Wife

Qi Yu glanced at Rong Xuelan, who was gently rocking the child in her arms, seemingly trying to soothe him.

"I'll go first. She's not quite ready yet," Qi Yu replied with a nod.

The officer worked efficiently.

After confirming details about the foreman's employment contract and the disbursement of project funds, Qi Yu exited the investigation area.

Taking a wet wipe from his secretary, he wiped the red ink off his fingers before turning to Rong Xuelan. "You can go in now."

After being comforted for some time, Dou Dou's eyelids were starting to droop.

Rong Xuelan followed the police officer quietly, her movement was very gentle to avoid waking up the child.

However, as soon as she crossed the threshold into the investigation area, Dou Dou suddenly burst into tears.

The child seemed terrified, crying and burrowing into Rong Xuelan's arms for comfort.

The politice officer looked troubled. "It'll be hard to take your statement with the child crying like this."

Rong Xuelan grew anxious but she was also deeply worried for Dou Dou.

Crying for too long could be harmful to his fragile health.

The secretary stepped forward and suggested, "How about I hold him and comfort him while you give your statement?"

The secretary, in her early thirties with a calm and approachable demeanor, gave off a reassuring vibe.

Rong Xuelan hesitated, she was reluctant to entrusted Dou Dou to someone else.

But with the police officer waiting, she had no choice but to nod and hand the child over.

The secretary expertly supported Dou Dou's neck and held him securely.

Dou Dou stopped crying for a moment and blinked his tear-filled eyes, staring intently at the secretary's face.

Feeling slightly reassured, Rong Xuelan turned around to follow the police officer.

However, just as she took a step, Dou Dou's cries erupted again, louder than before.

Turning back, Rong Xuelan saw Dou Dou scrunching up his face, his tiny hands pushing against the secretary's shoulders as if rejecting her entirely.

"Dou Dou!" Rong Xuelan's heart ached.

She turned back immediately, regretting not comforting him a bit longer herself before handing him over.

"I'll try," Qi Yu said suddenly, stepping forward and taking Dou Dou from the secretary.

Miraculously, Dou Dou's crying stopped immediately.

The child in his arms was so small and fragile that Qi Yu was afraid to grip too tightly, lest he hurt him.

Holding Dou Dou carefully, he asked the secretary, "How should I hold him?"

"One hand under his bottom, and the other supporting his neck," the secretary instructed.

Qi Yu adjusted his posture as instructed.

The little boy seemed to relax in his arms, even leaning his tiny head gently against Qi Yu's chest.

Copying Rong Xuelan's earlier movements, Qi Yu swayed slightly, and the child seemed to trust him completely.

Dou Dou's dark, shiny eyes fixed on Qi Yu's face.

Then, his small mouth opened into a happy grin, and he let out a delighted "Ah!"

A soft smile tugged at the corners of Qi Yu's lips.

"The baby's laughing…" the secretary remarked, astonished.

If she hadn't known Qi Yu was single, she might have assumed that he had some experience handling a baby.

When Dou Dou smiled, a particularly deep dimple appeared on his right cheek.

Secretary Tang stared at it for a moment, finding the dimple oddly familiar.

Then, as she looked up, she noticed Qi Yu's smiling face, where a deep dimple also appeared prominently on his right cheek.

"Mr. Qi, this baby's dimple is just like yours—it only shows up on the right side…"

Rong Xuelan who is standing a little bit further away, didn't hear the secretary's comment.

Watching Qi Yu holding Dou Dou, her heart stirred slightly.
