Chapter 361 I'm Going to Be a Dad
There were four pregnancy tests in total, and all of them showed two lines.
The packaging bag was also in the trash can. Xie Qinglan raised an eyebrow as she looked at the words "Pregnancy Test Stick Early Pregnancy Test Pen".
The instructions for use are on the back of the packaging. The observation window shows two lines, which means... I'm pregnant?
Xie Qinglan seemed to be deep in thought.
Neither he nor Huo Huaisui had considered having a child so soon, so they always took precautions against pregnancy whenever they were together. They never expected that something like this would happen.
Xie Qinglan picked up her phone again and continued calling her girlfriend.
This time the call was connected very quickly.
Xie Qinglan: "Where?"
Huo Huaisui: "This is the snack street near the residential area."
She couldn't stand the fishy smell, but everything else tasted delicious. She had already finished a serving of stinky tofu, a serving of shrimp paste, three beef skewers, a sausage, and a cup of milk tea. When Xie Qinglan called her for the first time, she was sipping milk tea and eating shrimp paste, and since she didn't have a hand, she didn't answer. Now she was eating a guokui (a type of flatbread).
The doctor said that as long as I avoid alcohol, medicine, cold foods, and foods high in lead, I can eat almost anything else.
Xie Qinglan: "When are you coming back?"
Huo Huaisui: "Now."
Xie Qinglan stood up. "I'll come pick you up."
"No need, I'm almost at the entrance of the complex." Huo Huai Sui finished the last bite of his flatbread and threw the plastic bag into the trash can. "Why are you back so early?"
Xie Qinglan: "I miss you."
"..." Huo Huai Sui rebuked him: "Don't always use me as an excuse for being lazy."
Xie Qinglan chuckled, "How can this be called an excuse? This is the truth."
Huo Huai Sui didn't want to listen to his glib talk: "My phone's almost out of battery, I'm hanging up."
There was a supermarket at the entrance of the residential area. After hanging up the phone, Huo Huaisui turned around and went into the supermarket, intending to buy some snacks to take back and store.
Xie Qinglan listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver, looked at the four pregnancy test sticks on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then dialed another number.
"Hey Mom—"
Ji Xueru: "What are you doing? We're getting ready for class. Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Xie Qinglan: "It's nothing major. I just wanted to let you know that your future daughter-in-law is pregnant."
Ji Xueru: "?"
Xie Qinglan: "I'm hanging up now. You can go to class."
"..." You brat, you suddenly dropped this bombshell! How am I supposed to go to class now?!
Xie Qinglan didn't give her mother a chance to say another word and continued making the call.
"Dad, you're going to be a grandfather... I told Mom, and I wanted to let you know so you can be happy."
Xie Chaolang: "..."
Next up is Ji Xuesong.
"Uncle, your nephew's wife is pregnant. You're going to be a great-uncle. Remember to prepare a red envelope."
Ji Xuesong: "Huh?"
Then came my elders: my eldest uncle, my eldest aunt, my third uncle, my youngest aunt, my grandfather, and my grandmother.
As another person on his list of charitable individuals, his third uncle was much more sensible and, being very familiar with the "procedure," directly gave him a large red envelope. This was much more reassuring than his uncle, who always needed reminders and never took any initiative, and who still hasn't shown any appreciation.
Next up are his brothers and sisters.
Xie Qingtang, Xie Qingxi, Huo Huai'an, Gu Suixing, Lu Fengqing...
Xie Qinglan sent messages to each of them one by one, making sure no one was missed.
Even Xu Dantong, with whom they didn't have a good relationship, wasn't spared.
[Xie Qinglan: [Red Envelope]]
Xu Dantong has accepted your red envelope.
[Xu Dantong: Wow, the sun must have risen in the west today! You actually sent me a red envelope this big, 2.5 yuan!]
[Xie Qinglan: You're welcome. I'm just happy today.]
[Xu Dantong: Oh]
[Xie Qinglan: Aren't you going to ask me why I'm happy?]
Xu Dantong thought to herself, "I'm only happy when you're unhappy. Why would I ask if you're happy?"
[Xu Dantong: I'll block you if you send one more message]
[Xie Qinglan: I'm going to be a father!]
"..."
Xu Dantong was filled with regret; she should have just blocked this scumbag.
Xie Qinglan was still wondering who else she hadn't notified when she received a call from her future brother-in-law.
"Xie Qinglan, are you an animal?!"
She secretly dated his sister behind his back, and then she said she would get married but then changed it to an engagement. The engagement party was all set up, but then she pulled this pre-marital pregnancy act on him!
Xie Qinglan moved her phone away slightly and calmly said, "It was an accident."
Huo Huai'an: "If you had just kept to yourself, would this accident have happened?"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Xie Qinglan didn't argue with her brother-in-law. "I don't have my future father-in-law and mother-in-law's contact information. Could you please inform them?"
Huo Huai'an sneered: "Do you think you're not dying fast enough?"
Hsieh Ching-lan: "I think the prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law will be very happy."
Especially his future mother-in-law.
"Get lost!" Huo Huai'an roared and hung up the phone.
Looking up, Huo Huai'an saw an ancestor looking at him with a half-smile, which made him even angrier.
In the morning, the location system indicated that Gu Suixing's car had left the city center. Gu Suixing checked and found that the car had last stopped at a hospital.
Only after calling an acquaintance did they learn that Lu Fengqing had gone to get a blood test and an ultrasound.
Upon receiving this news, Gu Suixing, who was extremely resistant to having a second child, felt his heart sink. He even started thinking about how to coax his son, who was also resistant to having a younger sibling, until he overheard Huo Huai'an and Xie Qinglan's conversation... It wasn't that his wife was pregnant with a second child, but that his cousin, whose brain had been soaked in water, was pregnant.
"It's alright." Gu Suixing was holding up her phone and talking to Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing: "...Oh."
Huo Huai'an and Xie Qinglan's call was on speakerphone, so Lu Fengqing naturally heard it as well.
The information has been sent to Huo Huai'an, so it's clear that everyone who needs to know already knows.
Lu Fengqing remembered her promise to Huo Huaisui to keep it a secret and fell silent.
Unaware that her boyfriend had already announced her pregnancy, Huo Huaisui was strolling through the supermarket with a shopping cart. When she came to the sanitary napkin section, she realized that she didn't have many left at home. Just as she was about to reach for one, she stopped in mid-air.
Oh right, she's already said goodbye to her "aunt" and won't need this thing for a while.
That bastard Xie Qinglan, his skills are terrible, and he leaves behind a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Huo Huai Sui couldn't help but think, "If only Xie Liu Mang really couldn't do it."
Perhaps seeing that she hadn't gone back for so long, Xie Qinglan called her again.
Xie Qinglan asked, "Why haven't you come back yet? Where did you go this time?"
Looking at the shopping cart that was completely full, Huo Huai Sui said, "The supermarket at the entrance of the community..."
Just as I finished speaking, my phone beeped twice, indicating it was out of battery and shut down automatically.
Huo Huaisui was even more worried.
She bought a lot of things and originally wanted Xie Qinglan to do the hard work, but her phone ran out of battery.
Huo Huaisui paid the bill and pushed the shopping cart out of the supermarket when he saw Xie Qinglan walking towards him.
