Su Wan leaned against the cold wall with only one thought in his mind.

Two bars, two bars, it must be two bars!

She picked up the pregnancy test stick almost with her eyes closed.

Then, he opened his eyes suddenly.

Two clear red lines.

call--

Su Wan let out a long breath and almost collapsed to the ground.

Got it! Really got it!

She opened the door.

Lu Shiyan was standing not far from the door, with his back to her, looking out the window.

Hearing the noise, he turned around.

Su Wan handed over the pregnancy test stick and tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"Two bars."

Lu Shiyan took it and his eyes fell on it, lingering for a few seconds.

There was still no expression on his face.

Su Wan's heart began to tighten again.

Isn’t that enough?

"Lie down on the sofa." Lu Shiyan put down the pregnancy test stick and picked up the black suitcase.

Su Wan: “…”

Still coming?

Are you serious?

She walked slowly to the sofa.

"Lift up your clothes." Lu Shiyan turned on the instrument, took out the probe and coupling agent, and his tone sounded like he was directing an operation.

Su Wan tensed up. The probe on her lower abdomen was cold. Lu Shiyan stared at the screen. The screen was small. It was a black and white picture. She tried to see it. Except for a blur, she could not see anything.

Su Wan's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. No way? The baby was so young, the B-ultrasound wouldn't be able to detect it, right? If it couldn't detect it... her life would be in jeopardy!

Lu Shiyan suddenly moved his head. His brows knitted slightly.

Su Wan's heart instantly rose to her throat. Did she see it? Or didn't she? "How is it?" She couldn't help but ask.

Lu Shiyan didn't say anything. He was still staring at the screen. Su Wan felt that time was passing even slower than the five minutes in the bathroom.

Lu Shiyan pressed his fingers on the instrument a few times, as if he was adjusting something. His expression was still cold, but his eyes were more focused. Su Wan didn't dare to breathe.

"Here." Lu Shiyan suddenly said, pointing to a certain place on the screen.

Su Wan quickly turned her head to look over. Where he pointed, there seemed to be a small white dot? Or a small black dot? It was too blurry. She couldn't understand it at all. "What is this?" she asked cautiously.

Lu Shiyan looked up at her. His eyes were complicated. But he soon regained his composure.

"Gestational sac." He spat out two words.

Gestational sac? Su Wan's mind exploded instantly. Gestational sac! That means she's pregnant! The ultrasound also showed it! It's not a scam on the pregnancy test stick! It's not a misunderstanding! It's real! Her heart finally settled down in her chest.

Lu Shiyan turned off the instrument and put away the probe. He glanced at Su Wan.

Su Wan quickly pulled her pajamas up and sat up. She felt like she had just walked through the gates of hell. "Do you believe it now?" She looked up at him, her tone a little vague.

Lu Shiyan didn't answer. He just put the instrument back into the box and closed it. The room fell silent again.

Su Wan waited for him to speak. Waited for his reaction. Waited for him to be even a little surprised or something. However, Lu Shiyan just put the box aside and looked at her.

Su Wan was a little confused. This reaction was wrong? Shouldn't there be something else? Like surprise? Like questioning? Like... ecstasy?

Although ecstasy is impossible.

But at least you shouldn't be so calm, right?

"You don't have anything to say?" Su Wan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Shiyan looked at her for a long while.

“It seems.”

"You're not lying."

Su Wan: “…”

Shit! What kind of reaction is this?! She was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Ah!" Aunt Zhang let out a short, low cry. She had just finished packing and came back and saw the pregnancy test stick.

She took a few steps forward, her movements so fast that they almost created a gust of wind, and approached the coffee table cautiously, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

"Miss!" Aunt Zhang's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and even trembled a little. "Yes! It's true! You are pregnant!"

Aunt Zhang suddenly stretched out her hand, wanting to hug her, but stopped halfway, and instead held her own hand tightly, turning around on the spot.

"Great, great! I have to get ready quickly and take good care of you and the little ancestor!"

"I'll go check out the new ingredients and seasonings I brought back. Oh, by the way, didn't you say you wanted to eat spicy chicken the day before yesterday?"

Aunt Zhang kept on talking, and hurried to the kitchen. "I'll go right away!"

Zhang Ma's joyful voice was isolated behind her, like the bustle of another world.

Su Wan returned to the room, walked to the bed, and fell back heavily. The soft mattress held her and wrapped her up.

Confused and muddled.

There was a strange sense of fatigue in every part of her body. She turned sideways, curled up, and subconsciously placed her hand on her still flat belly.

There, a tiny life is growing.

A reason for her to live.

Maybe it was because of the pregnancy, she closed her eyes and sleepiness quickly swept over her.

Lu Shiyan was in a complicated mood. His fingers clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turned white, and his veins bulged. The woman he hated, the demon who imprisoned and tortured him, was now pregnant with his child.

He turned and strode away, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

The door of the study was shut heavily, and Lu Shiyan leaned against the door, his chest heaving violently. He closed his eyes and tried to calm his breathing, but found that his hands were shaking slightly.

“Damn it!”

He cursed under his breath, clenched his bony hands, and slammed them against the cold wall beside him.

The door of the study was pushed open a crack, and light slanted in.

The footsteps approached slowly.

Xiao Han leaned against the door frame, casually tossing a shiny metal lighter in his hand, which made a crisp clicking sound.

The supplies had been counted and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Master Lu." Xiao Han's voice was a bit teasing, "What's the matter?"

He paused, turning the lighter between his fingers, "She's pregnant with your child, and you're still so angry?"

"Who would feel sorry for you if you got yourself hurt by anger?"

Lu Shiyan slowly turned around, his figure mostly hidden by the shadow. "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Han walked in, his leather shoes making almost no sound as he stepped on the expensive carpet.

He put the lighter back into his pocket slowly.

"Send something."

"By the way, see how the future father of our child is adapting."

The words haven't finished yet.

Lu Shiyan's figure suddenly became blurred.

The air was torn apart, and a fierce wind blew in the face.

Xiao Han didn't even have time to turn sideways completely.

"Bang!"

There was a dull thud. It was the sound of a fist hitting flesh.

Xiao Han groaned, and his body staggered backwards uncontrollably, bumping into the bookshelf behind him.

"Hold!"

He spat, steadying himself.

Lu Shiyan didn't pause and the second punch followed, directly hitting him in the face.

Xiao Han raised his arm to block.

There was a dull pain in my arm, as if bones were colliding.

"Mad dog!" he growled.
