Mei Wanying's pregnancy stretched Pei Yan's nerves to their absolute limit.
He was so afraid she'd trip or bump into something that he carried her out of the clinic, refusing to let her feet touch the ground for even a single step.
Then he decided the carriage ride would be too bumpy and worried it would make her nauseous with morning sickness, so he even considered carrying her all the way back to the mansion.
Mei Wanying was thin-skinned. As much as Pei Yan wanted to carry her, she was too embarrassed to be paraded through the streets in his arms.
There was no way she would let him act so foolishly. She insisted on taking the carriage with Ling.
She even told him that if he didn't want to get in, he could walk back on his own.
"I'll count to three. If you're not on this carriage by then, we're leaving without you."
Ling, eager to join the fun, immediately started counting, "One!"
"Two!"
