Lunch was a home-cooked meal prepared by the family chef, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

While everyone ate and chatted, they mainly listened to Lu You and Cheng Zhou share the aftermath of their wedding and their honeymoon plans.

Because it was close to the Chinese New Year, they only planned a short trip.

Shang Wu listened with a gentle smile on her face. Just as she picked up a piece of steamed fish with her chopsticks to eat, she suddenly stopped.

A strange expression flashed across her face, a mixture of surprise and unbelievable joy.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Rang immediately noticed.

Shang Wu slowly put down her chopsticks, gently placed one hand on her swollen belly, and asked in a trembling voice filled with excitement and uncertainty, "The baby seems to have moved?"

This was the first time she had felt fetal movement so clearly.

I had some feelings before, but none of them were as clear as they are now.

The dinner table fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shang Wu's belly.

Lu Rang immediately put down his chopsticks and squatted down without hesitation.

He knelt on one knee beside Shang Wu's chair, pressed his ear close to the back of her hand that was covering her stomach, held his breath, and focused intently.

Lu You and Cheng Zhou looked over with curiosity and anticipation.

Even Lu Zheng subconsciously slowed his breathing.

A few seconds later, Lu Rang suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with an indescribable smile.

“It moved, it really moved, Ah Wu, I heard it, it sounds like he’s kicking me.”

Shang Wu smiled, gently took Lu Rang's hand, and guided it to place directly on the spot on her stomach where she had just moved: "Feel it."

Lu Rang's hands trembled slightly as he held his breath and focused intently on feeling the sensation.

Sure enough, not long after, there was another gentle touch, clearly transmitted to his palm.

"That's wonderful! I was worried that this baby was quiet, but now that we're this far along in the pregnancy, he's only starting to move around a lot!"

Lu You clapped her hands excitedly, while Cheng Zhou put his arm around her shoulder, grinning from ear to ear.

After dinner, taking advantage of feeling the baby move, Lu Rang immediately contacted the hospital and accompanied Shang Wu for a detailed prenatal checkup that afternoon.

The examination results were all good; the baby is developing very healthily and is moving actively.

Looking at the ultrasound screen and calculating the due date, the doctor smiled and told them, "Based on the current development and size of the fetus, the due date will likely fall around the Lantern Festival."

Lu Rang and Shang Wu were both stunned, then looked at each other and smiled.

The Lantern Festival is a time for family reunions.

Their baby chose such a day, full of beautiful meaning, to come into their lives.

On the way home, Lu Rang held Shang Wu's hand tightly. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes sparkled with anticipation and joy for their child.

With the New Year approaching, my sister is newly married and has a baby. It seems like all the good things have been arranged to come together this winter.

...

Shang Wu and Lu Rang began preparing for the birth of their child.

A well-lit room was set aside in the house as a nursery, and supplies were also prepared for the child.

That weekend, Shang Wu excitedly dragged Lu Rang along to start browsing baby clothes and supplies online.

She opened her tablet and clicked on several high-end baby and children's brand stores that she had saved for a long time. All sorts of adorable little clothes immediately appeared on the screen.

"Lu, look! Isn't this bear onesie super cute? And this one with the little dinosaur pattern, and this one with the strawberry pattern is so pretty too!"

Shang Wu's eyes sparkled as she swiped the screen rapidly.

Lu Rang sat down beside her, his expression focused. He looked at the picture very carefully, zooming in to examine the details of the label material.

At first, he just watched silently.

But when Shang Wu added several pieces of clothing that she particularly liked to her shopping cart, Lu Rang finally couldn't help but speak up.

“Awu, this onesie,” he pointed to the bear onesie that Shang Wu favored, “has too high color saturation, so it may fade easily, and this kind of printing and dyeing can also have some effect on the skin.”

Shang Wu's smile froze for a moment.

Lu Rang then pointed to the little dinosaur costume: "And this one, what if these two little plastic eyes on the hat fall off and are accidentally swallowed by a child? It doesn't meet infant safety standards."

Finally, Lu Rang looked at the strawberry patterned one: "This one is indeed made of pure cotton, but according to the description, it's regular cotton, not organic cotton. The breathability and softness aren't very good."

Shang Wu: "..."

She felt that Lu Rang was like a clothes salesman, able to talk about even these things in a very eloquent way.

She took a deep breath and tried to explain, "Lu Rang, these are all well-known brands, the quality is guaranteed, and babies grow quickly, so the clothes won't last long, there's no need..."

"Safety is no small matter."

Lu interrupted her, his tone resolute, "Especially clothing that comes into direct contact with the skin, the material must be the highest quality organic cotton or silk."

As he spoke, he picked up the tablet, exited the page Shang Wu was browsing, and skillfully typed in another brand.

Soon, a series of baby clothes with almost no patterns appeared on the screen.

Light gray and off-white look sophisticated, but they can also be too cold.

“Look at these,” Lu Rang said with a hint of satisfaction, “the colors are safe, the design is simple, and the materials are all 100% certified organic cotton, which meets the standards.”

Shang Wu was both amused and exasperated. She snatched the tablet back and glared at Lu Rang.

"Are you picking out clothes for the baby or a haute couture suit for yourself? Babies need to be playful and cute. If you go for this minimalist style, people will think our baby is going straight to a board meeting."
