Huo Haocheng, who was pushed out, sighed as he looked at the door that had been slammed shut without any mercy. It seemed that he was the only one who was nervous about his wife's pregnancy. But seeing his wife's appearance, just like when she wasn't pregnant, his excited heart calmed down just like the tightly closed door.

However, in order to get home sooner, he decided to ride his bike to training from now on.

He had just entered the military headquarters when he was told that the commander was looking for him.

'No way, his wife just found out she's pregnant, and he's already going on a mission?'

With this feeling of trepidation, I arrived at the commander's office.

"Report"

"You're here, come in."

After entering the office, Huo Haocheng stood directly in front of the commander, without asking any questions, and just stared at him.

"Don't look at me with such a mournful look. I called you here to ask you what happened today." The commander originally thought that he might be fine and that they were just being too nervous. But now, seeing his dejected face, could something really have happened?

"...Oh, you mean this? Then it's nothing." Hearing the commander say this, Huo Haocheng's face changed faster than a Sichuan opera face-changing act. One second the sky was full of dark clouds, and the next second, it was clear and sunny.

"What do you mean you're alright? I think you're the one who's really in trouble right now. Tell me, what exactly happened today? You're acting like..." Looking at him, Commander Gu really wanted to curse, but he wasn't just the commander, he was also his uncle. It wouldn't be appropriate to just start cursing, so he held back.

"Well... my wife took her own pulse last night and found out she was pregnant, so I got a little too excited!" Now that he's calmed down, he realizes he acted like a lunatic this morning, all nervous and anxious. His behavior this morning has reached the commander's ears, and it's probably spread throughout the regiment by now. Oh well, he'll talk to them when he gets back. After all, they're Ruan Ruan's brothers, and as the child's uncles, they should do their part.

After thinking it through, he wasn't so conflicted anymore.

Hearing that Ruan Ruan was pregnant, Commander Gu was also very happy. Now he could understand Huo Haocheng's actions so early in the morning.

"Alright, since that's the case, that's all. Go back to training." Commander Gu thought to himself, then sent him away so he could call home and tell his father the good news.

"...Um, Commander, I have something to attend to. I'd like to borrow your phone to tell my family the good news."

Ruan Ruan just reminded him to let his family know, so now that he's here, he should call home first before heading back.

Upon hearing his words, Commander Gu felt his head buzzing, yet he couldn't stop him from making the call. After taking two deep breaths, he pushed the phone in front of him.

In a good mood, Huo Haocheng didn't care about how things had changed so drastically in just a few words. He picked up the phone and immediately called the Ruan family.

The grandmother who answered the phone.

"Hello, Grandma, it's me, Huo Haocheng."

"Haocheng, why are you calling so early? Did you receive the clothes and letters I sent?" On the other end of the phone, Grandma was also very happy to hear Huo Haocheng's voice. She hadn't seen her beloved granddaughter for a long time, and she was very happy that her grandson-in-law was calling. She could learn about their recent situation from him.

"Grandma, I received the clothes. I called you today because I wanted to tell you some good news." At this point, Huo Haocheng realized how foolish he had been to think that he couldn't tell anyone until his children were over three. Of course, happy news should be shared with family and friends so everyone can be happy together!

"Oh, what's the good news?" It was the first time the old lady had heard Huo Haocheng laugh happily on the phone. Hearing him say that there was good news, she was happy too.

"Grandma, Ruan Ruan is pregnant! We found out last night!" He smiled even more broadly after saying that.

Commander Gu on the other end of the line was furious as he watched Huo Haocheng's eyes nearly disappear from his grin. This was a call that was supposed to be made by him, so why did this idiot Huo Haocheng remember it?

"Good, good, good, this is really good news! Haocheng, you must take good care of Ruanruan. The first three months are still a bit unstable, so please make sure she's careful. Pregnant women can be moody sometimes. If she suddenly gets angry at you for no reason, Haocheng, please don't argue with her. Just go along with her. Or you can tell us, and we can talk to her." Grandma knew the young couple had a good relationship, and that Huo Haocheng probably wouldn't argue with her if that happened. But what if? She also knew how intense Huo Haocheng's training was, so the old lady wanted to give him a heads-up.

"Grandma, don't worry, I won't argue with my daughter-in-law. In my eyes, she's always right." Huo Haocheng knew his grandmother's concerns, but he also worried about the same things they worried about. So when the time came, he would put her first in everything.

Hearing Huo Haocheng's words, the old lady felt much more at ease.

"Alright, Haocheng, you go ahead and get busy. Your grandfather went out to play chess with the old men in the compound. I'll go tell him the good news. Whatever, it's still early. Let them go to the Overseas Chinese Store and see if there's anything suitable for Ruanruan, and we can buy it for her and send it to her."

After saying that, the old lady hung up the phone without telling him that she didn't need it.

Looking into the microphone, he wondered whether he should call back and say something.

"What's wrong? The old lady hung up the phone!" Seeing his expression, Commander Gu immediately realized that the elderly people in the family were probably gathered together discussing what to buy.
