The moment the words left his mouth, Qiao Hua's eyes flew open.
She quickly glanced at the monitor, then looked away. "There. Happy now?"
Seeing Qiao Hua treat it like a chore only fueled Gu Wenze's anger. He seized her chin as she tried to turn away again and said through gritted teeth, "That's your attitude?"
Qiao Hua lifted her eyelids to look at him. "You told me to look, and I did. What else do you want?"
It's not like I wanted this baby. What kind of attitude do you expect me to have?
Besides, isn't this like forcing someone into prostitution and then demanding she greet her customers with a smile?
Anger surged in Gu Wenze's eyes. All he had done was ask Qiao Hua to look at their child, and she actually compared it to being forced into prostitution?
If she hadn't been carrying his child, he would have taught this woman a lesson.
Sensing the tension between them, the doctor hurried to smooth things over. "President Gu, the fetus is still very small. It's perfectly normal for your wife to have trouble making it out. I'll print the pictures in a moment, and you can take them home to look at properly."
With an outsider present, Gu Wenze forced down his anger. He shifted his gaze away from Qiao Hua's face and asked the doctor, "Can you tell the sex?"
The doctor looked uncomfortable. "President Gu, regulations prohibit us from disclosing a baby's sex without authorization. Please understand."
It wasn't that Gu Wenze preferred boys to girls. He simply wanted to know the baby's sex so he could prepare.
Seeing that the doctor didn't dare tell him, Gu Wenze didn't press the matter. "Forget it. Either is fine."
Only then did the doctor breathe a sigh
