“Actually, your father was better than me. I was even dumber.”
Qie Wang recalled the first time his wife was pregnant. He felt he looked very dumb then.
Ye Tianxin turned to Qie Wang and chided, “Qie Wang, you shouldn’t say anything inauspicious in front of my parents.”
Shen sometimes wondered how someone as clueless as Qie Wang became the head of the hospital.
“Lwas speaking from a professional point of view. Tianxin, you are also a doctor. You should know very well that it is very risky to be pregnant at this age. I am not exaggerating at all.”
“Still, you shouldn’t have said those things when my parents are feeling so happy. You ruined the mood by making us worried. You know it’s possible for it to be an ectopic pregnancy.”
Qie Wang kept quiet. What Ye Tianxin said made sense. He might’ve reacted a bit too strongly earlier.
“Yes, I’ve said something wrong. I won’t do it again.”
“Qie Wang, I’m sorry, don’t take my words to heart. It wasn’t easy for my parents to get together. I’m just so happy for them and don’t want them to get upset.”
“Yes, I know. It’s my fault.”
Back in the hospital ward, Ye Linlang was resting on the bed. Xie Xuning placed his hands gently on her belly.
“Linlang, am I really going to be a father?”
He could not believe it even till now.
It was like a dream.
He now understood how Ye Tianxin felt before. It was as though he had lost something and then gained an even greater reward.
He started to feel uncomfortable.
His wife was pregnant?
He was going to be a father?
It was something he wished for but never imagined would happen for the past 20 years.
However, the good news came so suddenly and without any warning. He felt like he had been hit by a brick on his head and his head was spinning. He could not think properly.
“Yes, you are really going to be a father.” Ye Linlang assured him every time he asked her the question.
Xie Xuning still held on to Ye Linlang’s hands with tears in his eyes. “It’s like a dream, Linlang. This all sounds so unreal. I thought I am dreaming.”
“No, you are not dreaming. Xuning, I am back. I am right beside you. You are going to be a father soon.”
Xie Xuning smiled with tears in his eyes. He was very comforted.
“Yes, I’m not dreaming.”
Ye Linlang knew that Xie Xuning was overjoyed. But she still had to caution him. “Kuning, you know that being pregnant at my age can be very risky. You may not realize it, but ever since I knew I was pregnant, I have been worrying nonstop.”
“Is that so?” Xie Xuning did not believe her but when he thought about it, he rationalized. “If that’s the case, we should put your safety first. Why don’t we…”
Ye Linlang covered his mouth with her hands.
“L know what you are going to say, but I won’t let you say it. Xuning, every child is a gift from heaven. Try not to think too much about it. Our baby won’t be happy if he knows what you are thinking.”
Xie Xuning planted a kiss softly on the back of her hand. “What shall we do then?”
“Let’s just wait. God will be kind to us. We have come this far. Nothing will happen to this pregnancy. We will be all right.”
Ye Linlang then looked at him playfully.
“Why don’t you think of a name for the baby first?”
Xie Xuning thought for a while. He decided to think about it when he reached home.
He had to think of a good name for his baby.
“Linlang, we should treat Tianxin better. Otherwise, she may think that we only care about the younger one and not her..”
