"Not in the best condition?" He seemed to hesitate for a moment, his voice trailing off as he looked at her with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

Xu Niannian had paid attention to his reaction. Seeing that there wasn’t a hint of disappointment in his eyes when she mentioned the baby, Xu Niannian fully relaxed.
