Chapter 250: Extra - Lu Chenzhou And Cheng Xi: I’m Only Happy When Im With You V (2/2)
Yes. She had bought it when they were trying to have a baby, anticipating the day she’d use it……
But that day had yet to come.
After Lu Chenzhou fed her the herbal medicine, he ran to the kitchen to get a glass of water for her. When he reentered the room with the water, he immediately noticed that she was no longer there and that the thermometer was lying to the side of the bed, unused. He turned to the side and then noticed that the bathroom door was closed.
He put down his cup and patiently waited by the door for her to come back out. After quite some time, the bathroom door finally opened, revealing Cheng Xi, who was standing underneath the doorway with a tired smile . “Lu Chenzhou.”
“Are you feeling alright?”
Cheng Xi nodded. She said, “Come over here,” as she pulled him inside the bathroom before pointing at the utterly foreign object sitting on the washbasin. “Do you know what this is?”
But this was the first time that Lu Chenzhou had ever seen a pregnancy test. “What did you check?”
“I checked whether or not your hopes were dashed.”
“Hmm?”
Cheng Xi beamed brightly, she hugged him, and then leaned on tiptoes as she whispered, “You silly fool! I don’t have a cold—I’m just pregnant,” into his ear.
The silly fool My. Lu was struck speechless.
This news came so unexpectedly that he was truly stunned. All he said in response was a particularly aloof “Oh.” Then, still very much in shock, he asked, “Then, do you still need medicine?”
“Of course not. This is probably just a normal symptom of pregnancy.”
As for the bleeding, Cheng Xi later called Su Feng and asked her about it. Su Feng was even more excited than Cheng Xi and Lu Chenzhou, and she continuously congratulated Cheng Xi. “If you don’t have any abdominal aches or persistent bleeding, then it’s nothing too bad. Take good care of yourself and rest well for now. Don’t work too hard and come into the hospital tomorrow. I’ll give you a checkup myself.”
After the call, the two of them cleaned themselves up and tried to go back to bed. Cheng Xi didn’t sleep too well due to her nausea, and she was barely able to fall asleep at dawn.
When Cheng Xi woke up again, the first thing she saw was Lu Chenzhou stooped in front of her, staring at her with wide open eyes like a little golden retriever.
Cheng Xi had just woken up, so she merely rubbed his hand and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Mr. Lu leaned down and kissed her forehead. “How’s our daughter coming along?”
“......It might be a son.”
Mr. Lu’s delayed happiness and excitement had finally arrived. He tucked Cheng Xi back into bed and instructed, “Sleep well. I’ve already asked your workplace for time off on your behalf.”
“......”
Cheng Xi watched on as Mr. Lu walked out before shortly returning with Chen Jiaman.
However, Lu Chenzhou barred her at the door as he pointed at Cheng Xi, who was lying in bed and seriously said to Chen Jiaman, “Look, she’s pregnant, and we’re going to have a daughter. However, for now, she has to rest well and not be stressed about anything. So, from today onwards, you have to take good care of yourself and not disturb her.”
“......”
Chen Jiaman was extremely excited for Cheng Xi, and she immediately asked with a gasp, “Really?” She then deftly slipped past Lu Chenzhou’s blockade and ran to Cheng Xi. “Mom, are you really going to give me a brother?”
“Brother” was the one word that Mr. Lu didn’t want to hear at all, and as soon as Chen Jiaman said it, he picked her up by her collar and inelegantly flung her out of the room.
With this news, the house suddenly became very lively. Chen Jiaman was left scratching at the door from outside while, inside, Lu Chenzhou caressed Cheng Xi’s stomach and seriously muttered, “Sister, it has to be a sister……”
Cheng Xi couldn’t stop herself from smiling. It turned out that Lu Chenzhou had already subconsciously accepted Chen Jiaman into his heart after all.
