Nan Mufeng placed his hand on her belly and gently called out, "Baby, Daddy is going to tell you a story now! Wake up!"
The baby inside seemed to hear him and actually moved a little.
Jian Xi's eyes widened with delight, "Honey, the baby moved!"
"See, the baby heard me talking." Nan Mufeng said proudly, softly caressing Jian Xi's belly, "Baby, you're so good. Daddy is going to start now!"
Nan Mufeng opened a picture book and began reading, "Once upon a time, there was a little white rabbit who especially loved to eat carrots..."
Nan Mufeng narrated with great rhythm, and his enunciation was excellent, to the point that he could become a voice actor.
"Honey, tell another one." Jian Xi leaned against the pillow, lazily half-closing her eyes. She was mesmerized!
"Okay."
As promised, Nan Mufeng told a few more stories. He only stopped when the baby didn't respond anymore. He asked Jian Xi, still unsatisfied, "Sweetheart, how did I do?"
