The crispy pastry is golden brown and looks very tempting.

Yuan Doudou likes crispy foods, including fried chicken and French fries. Crispy biscuits are also one of them, and she feels they are healthier than fried chicken and French fries.

An Rong first picked up the crispy pastry and handed it to her. Yuan Doudou took the pastry without hesitation and said thank you.

Ever since we had a falling out, I've been saying thank you all the time.

The crispy biscuits are sprinkled with white sesame seeds. They smell delicious and taste even better. One bite and they crumble into crumbs, with the aroma spreading throughout your mouth.

"Mommy, is it delicious?" Anji didn't eat, he just stared at Dou Dou with wide eyes.

Yuan Doudou smiled and said, "It's delicious, you should eat some too."

Anji smiled secretly. This was specially made by his father for his mother, so it was naturally delicious.

"Mother, if you like it, eat more. This is Father's thoughtful gift." After Anji finished speaking, he looked at Anrong with a smile, as if to say, Father, say something too.

An Rong lowered his head and remained silent, not wanting Dou Dou to think he was deliberately trying to please her.

His belief in being good to Dou Dou is his lifelong conviction, not because he made an unforgivable mistake.

"Daddy loves you very much, Angie, you should thank Daddy." Don't do everything for her sake. Does that mean you won't eat breakfast without her?

An Rong looked at Dou Dou, her eyes filled with sorrow. Was she deliberately keeping her distance from her?

"Daddy, thank you for making such a delicious meal for Mommy and me so early in the morning. You've worked so hard, Daddy." Anji immediately expressed his gratitude to Anrong after hearing his mother's words.

An Rong smiled and said, "I am your father, there's no need to be so polite."

He was smiling on the outside, but his heart was bleeding inside.

After breakfast, Anrong cleared the dishes and went out, and Anji followed behind to help.

"DouDou, look who's here!"

Outside, Lu Chaoyang walked over with a youthful spirit, followed by Li Tianlang.

"It's Dr. Li," Yuan Doudou greeted with a smile.

Her impression of Li Tianlang was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When he said that An Rong's poison was incurable, she was angry and always felt that he was not honest. But now that Li Tianlang had treated her and helped her recover well, she was grateful.

"Tianlang is here for your follow-up appointment, to see how your recovery is going." Lu Chaoyang sat down casually, and seeing the remaining crispy pastries on the table, he picked them up and ate them without any hesitation.

"This pancake is great! Who made it?" Lu Chaoyang praised as he ate.

“My dad made it,” Angie said proudly, holding his chin high.

Lu Chaoyang finished a piece of bread in a few bites, still wanting more. He leaned down and said to Anji, "Anji, can you tell your father that you want to eat more of this bread and ask him to make more?"

Angie shook his head vigorously, "No, Daddy has been busy all morning, we can't let him work so hard."

"Uncle Lu, if you want to eat it, you can have someone buy it from outside."

Lu Chaoyang rolled his eyes, speechless. If he could buy it outside, why would he need his father? He would have bought it himself long ago.

"Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll tell him myself in a bit."

Yuan Doudou laughed as they bickered; they were clearly just two little kids.

"Give me your hand." From the moment he entered the room, Li Tianlang's gaze was fixed on Dou Dou, observing her expression to confirm her condition.

Judging from her complexion, she looks much better than she did two days ago.

Yuan Doudou reached out her hand and saw him take out a handkerchief and place it on her wrist, which she found strange.

She wanted to say that there was no need for such trouble; they were all old acquaintances, and it was just a matter of taking each other's pulses.

Yuan Doudou looked up and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was a little nervous, so she chose to keep quiet.

She's unmarried, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to avoid suspicion. Why would she go looking for trouble?

"How is the pulse?" Yuan Doudou asked proactively, his expression so serious that she herself became nervous.

Li Tianlang frowned, forming a deep frown, looking even more serious than before.

Is it bad?

Yuan Doudou thought to herself, "Good or bad, just tell me already! Aren't you deliberately trying to drive me crazy?"

Lu Chaoyang noticed something was wrong. He had known Li Tianlang for so long, but this was the first time he had ever seen him so serious and focused.

Anji grabbed Doudou's arm, looking anxious: "Mommy, what's wrong?"

The three men stared intently at Li Tianlang, their heartbeats slowing as they awaited his answer.

Li Tianlang pursed his lips, took the pulse again, and focused his mind, afraid of making a mistake.

After An Rong finished his work, he walked to the door and saw Li Tianlang carefully taking Dou Dou's pulse. His heart tightened, worried that something might be wrong with Dou Dou.

"Tianlang, can you say something? What kind of pulse is this that requires you to take so long to feel it?" Lu Chaoyang began to suspect that Li Tianlang was taking advantage of Doudou.

Yuan Doudou nodded in agreement, saying that she could speak freely, but her furrowed brows made people uneasy.

"DouDou, when was the last time you came to your menstrual period?"

"Let me think, it seems to be the second year of junior high school."

Li Tianlang did some mental calculations and realized that today was the twelfth.

How often do menstruation usually occur?

Yuan Doudou wondered why he asked about menstrual flow, since it wasn't about irregular periods.

"Normally it takes twenty-eight days."

"Hey, why are you asking these questions? What's wrong with DouDou?" Lu Chaoyang was sweating with anxiety.

Li Tianlang had an answer in his heart; his brows relaxed, but his eyes dimmed.

"DouDou, you're pregnant."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

An Rong stumbled in, both surprised and delighted.

Yuan Doudou was dumbfounded. What kind of plot was this? She and An Rong were going through a divorce, but before they could even get a divorce, she got pregnant with her second child.

They'd only had sex once, and they won the lottery on that first try—their luck was absolutely terrible.

"Dr. Li, are you sure you're not mistaken? Take another look." Yuan Doudou was unwilling to face reality.

Li Tianlang stood up and packed his things. "If you don't believe me, you can find someone else."

Yuan Doudou was completely convinced that in Ping'an Town, who wouldn't believe in Li Tianlang's medical skills?

"An Rong, congratulations, you're going to be a father again." Lu Chaoyang grinned. This child would be a bond between them, and they couldn't get a divorce.

An Rong was overjoyed. He couldn't help but hold Dou Dou's hand, too excited to speak.

This was a blessing from heaven, giving him a chance and telling him that no matter what happens, he must not give up.

"You all go out and leave me alone." Yuan Doudou was frustrated and didn't know how to deal with the child.

An Rong's face froze, unable to guess what she was thinking.

"Anrong, let's go out first and let her have some peace and quiet."

Lu Chaoyang pulled him out, and Li Tianlang followed behind with Anji.

"Daddy, what's wrong with Mommy? What does it mean if she's pregnant?" Anji asked, turning into a curious little boy.

An Rong picked up Anji, her heart pounding with joy, "Anji, you're going to be a big brother!"

"Mommy has a baby in her tummy?" Angie, being very clever, blurted out.

Lu Chaoyang leaned closer and pinched his cheek. "Anji, aren't you happy? You're going to have another little sister or brother."

"I love my sister, and I will protect her." Angie smiled sincerely as he began to imagine the days when he would have a sister.
