"We'll know when they get back."
Old Shen didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely nervous inside. The waiting time felt very long, and he couldn't even eat a bite of food.
When Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian arrived at the hospital, as the saying goes, those involved are often blinded by their own interests. Last time Lin Youyou was pregnant, she had made some guesses, but when it came to her own pregnancy, she didn't even think about it that way.
Finally, holding the test results, Nanzhi was somewhat bewildered.
She's pregnant?
At this moment, I can somewhat understand Lin Youyou's feelings back then.
Shen Xingmian glanced down at the test results in her hand. His usually calm and composed face cracked, and a hint of surprise rose in his eyes. He then reached out and embraced Nanzhi, his deep voice ringing in her ear, "Zhizhi, you... are pregnant."
Nanzhi nodded blankly, "I didn't expect that."
Shen Xingmian thought to himself that he hadn't expected it, but this only showed that his hard work had paid off.
Now even Jin was too ashamed to show off in front of him.
It's been about forty days now, which is around the time when Nam Chi was just discharged from the hospital.
A belated joy filled Shen Xingmian's heart. The moment he saw the test results for his and Zhizhi's child, Shen Xingmian felt a sudden sense of relief, as if his heart had been filled to the brim. It was as if something he had deeply regretted had finally been resolved, alleviating that regret.
Carefully protecting Nanzhi, Shen Xingmian's smile was clearly visible. Even passersby no longer had his usual intimidating aura when they saw him.
Meanwhile, the people in the Shen residence, especially Old Master Shen, were waiting anxiously.
He would occasionally ask Shen Qing, "Qingqing, were you like this when you were pregnant?"
Shen Qing: "......."
With a hint of helplessness, this was the fifth time the elderly father had asked.
Shen Qing nodded. "I'm sure, Dad, but we'll have to wait until they come back to know for sure."
Shen Feiang, who was listening to this for a while, naturally became nervous as well. He really hoped that he could have a younger brother or sister.
"My parents said before that they wanted to have a younger brother or sister for me, and I would like either one."
Shen Feiang spoke, causing Old Shen to pause for a moment, followed by ecstatic joy. He turned his head, his eyes shining brightly, "Feiang, is what you said true? Tell Great-Grandpa in detail."
Shen Feiang: "..."
So he recounted the conversation Shen Xingmian and Nan Zhi had had in the study, which revolved around having a child.
Old Master Shen was finally relieved. It was wonderful that Nanzhi could still have children, meaning he could hold his great-grandson soon.
When Shen Xingmian returned home with Nanzhi, they were met with four pairs of stares.
Nanzhi: "......"
The joy on Shen Xingmian's face was also visible. He carefully helped Nanzhi sit on the sofa before looking at everyone.
Old Shen couldn't wait to know the result. "Xingmian, what's wrong with Zhizhi?"
"Yeah, cousin, did Nanzhi get an upset stomach?"
Hu Lai didn't believe Nan Zhi was pregnant at all; he always thought that Nan Zhi had suffered aftereffects from the car accident.
He received a cold look from Shen Xingmian, then looked at Old Master Shen and said, "Grandpa, Zhizhi is pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Old Shen was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, "Haha, good, pregnancy is great! Grandpa has been looking forward to holding his great-grandson for a long time. It seems that our Fei'ang is a lucky star."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Shen Feiang's head. Shen Feiang's eyes sparkled as he looked at Nan Zhi's belly, but he didn't dare to get too close. Nan Zhi, on the other hand, waved to him.
Shen Feiang then stood up and sat down next to Nanzhi.
The child was so well-behaved that Nanzhi felt a warmth in her heart. As long as the child wasn't scared, that was fine. When she watched the news, she saw that some children were afraid because their mothers were pregnant, fearing that they wouldn't be loved after the baby was born.
"Does Fei Ang prefer a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Shen Feiang looked carefully at Nanzhi's belly, a smile appearing on his face, "Little sister."
He likes his little sister because she's soft and smells sweet.
But then she added, "If it were a younger brother, I would love him too. I would teach him to write and protect him."
Nan Zhi chuckled and patted Chen Feiang's head. "Okay, our Feiang will definitely be a good older brother."
Shen Feiang blushed immediately, and was very happy.
Seeing how gentle Nan Zhi was with the child, Shen Qing's impression of her improved considerably. She gave her a word of advice:
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
Nanzhi looked up at her, smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely ask you if there is anything I don't understand."
Seeing the happy family together, Old Shen was deeply moved. As long as this family was harmonious and happy, he, an old man, could rest assured.
After becoming pregnant, Shen Xingmian strongly demanded that Nanzhi stay at home and not go anywhere, leaving Nanzhi feeling helpless.
She still had to go to the association. Since she had taken on this position, she had to be responsible. However, she also began to mentor Cheng Yi and An Ran, especially Cheng Yi, whose abilities were obvious to all. Later, he also helped An Ran make great progress.
He is the best candidate to act as the president.
After learning that she was pregnant, many people came to her house one after another.
Bai Yarou, in particular, as a mother, would bring home homemade nourishing soup almost every day.
"Mom, there's no need for that. I've only been here for a little over a month."
Bai Yarou ignored the advice and opened the insulated lunchbox while laughing:
"Mom likes to cook for you. Since I have nothing to do at home anyway, I might as well come and take care of you."
Nanzhi took the bowl of chicken soup that her mother poured out. The smell was so unpleasant that she couldn't bring herself to drink it, but seeing her mother's expectant face, she forced herself to drink a small bowl.
“Zhizhi, pregnancy is the most painful time for a woman. Fortunately, Xingmian feels sorry for you. When I was pregnant with your brother, there was a period when I would eat and then vomit, but for the sake of the baby in my belly, I still had to eat something.”
As she was about to put another piece of chicken on Nanzhi's plate, Nanzhi covered her mouth and quickly said, "Mom, I've already eaten, don't put any more on my plate."
Seeing her furrowed brows and repulsive expression, Bai Yarou gave up and took Nanzhi's hand. "Just hang in there for a while. This is a normal pregnancy reaction. It will get better in time. If you need anything, just tell your mother, okay?"
Nanzhi nodded. "I know, Mom."
Nanzhi didn't really think she was that delicate, but her relatives were all being very careful, making them even more nervous than she, a pregnant woman.
That afternoon, Nan Zhi went to pick up Shen Feiang from school. As soon as Shen Feiang saw Nan Zhi after leaving the school gate, he was overjoyed and ran towards her, calling out, "Mom!"
As he ran closer, he quickly stopped. His father had told him not to run around recklessly, but he couldn't help himself when he saw Nanzhi after school.
