Even the two elders, Huo Xun and Huo Zhen, were very pleasantly surprised to hear the news.
The most pleasantly surprised was little Ying Bao. She lifted her head and asked, blinking her big eyes, “Is Mommy going to give birth to a little brother for me?”
“I don’t know. It can’t be!”
Although Xu Xiyan especially wanted to bear Huo Yunshen another child, he had always put on protection; by right, she shouldn’t be pregnant.
If she was really pregnant, then when did it happen?
Could it be the time after she was rescued by Huo Yunshen after jumping into the sea?
“Don’t you know Chinese medicine? Why don’t you check your own pulse and see whether you’re pregnant?”
Huo Yunshen urged her to check her own pulse quickly.
Xu Xiyan obeyed and put her right hand over her left wrist. She bit her lip as she began to feel own pulse.
But after feeling it for a while, she still felt a bit uncertain. “It doesn’t seem like it!”
Maybe she was being so nervous that she was not able to feel her own pulse accurately.
“You must not be checking it accurately. I’ll take you to the hospital for examination now.”
Huo Yunshen immediately got up and left the table, pulling Xu Xiyan with him as he headed out of the house.
Seeing that her son was in a hurry, Chen Yunlu quickly reminded him, “Slow down, Yunshen. Don’t touch Jing Xi’s stomach.”
“I know, Mom.”
Without saying anything, Huo Yunshen directly picked up Xu Xiyan in his arms and strode out of the door.
“…” Xu Xiyan didn’t know what to say. It was not even confirmed whether she was pregnant or not but everyone acted as though she was confirmed to be pregnant.
“Daddy, Mommy, Baby also wants to see Little Brother.”
Ying Bao also wanted to follow but Chen Yunlu stopped her. Her grandmother coaxed her, “Cherry, your father is going to accompany your mother to the hospital for examination and they may not have time to take care of you. Why don’t you wait for them at home with your grandma and grandpa and great-grandpa?”
“Okay then! I hope Mommy will give birth to a little brother for me this time, otherwise, the other children will laugh at me.”
Ying Bao had boasted to her classmates several times that her mommy was going to give birth to a little brother for her. Later, when her classmates asked her whether her little brother was already born or not, she was embarrassed to speak.
“Yes, as long as you be a good girl and wait for them at home, your mother will definitely give birth to the most beautiful little brother in the world for you.”
“Yay, okay! I’m going to give my flower dress for my little brother.”
“Haha…”
The little rascal’s words had amused the adults.
Outside, Huo Yunshen carefully placed his wife in the passenger seat, helped her strap on her seatbelt, then drove out of the Huo family mansion.
The Huo Yunshen of today had changed his usual speedy driving habits. He was now driving the car very, very carefully.
Half an hour later, their car had not yet reached the city’s inner ring road. Xu Xiyan peered at the speedometer on the dashboard. The needle was constantly hovering at 30 mph. She could not help but say, “Dear, why don’t I drive instead?”
“You… You must be joking!”
Huo Yunshen was worried that a mishap would happen to her; that was why he had driven the car so slowly.
Before it was confirmed whether there was a child in her belly, he still had to assume that there was one. So he had to be careful—it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Therefore, this very cautious prospective father had broken a new low speed record. All the other cars around him overtook his luxury car. Even the old man riding on his motor tricycle was driving faster than him.
Slowly, they arrived at the First People’s Hospital. Huo Yunshen took Xu Xiyan directly to Qin Kun.
Qin Kun first ordered a urine test. The urine test results came out as “faint positive.”
“Great! You’re really pregnant, dear! I’m… I’m going to be a father!”
