"Sister You! Wait a minute!" Shang Wu suddenly called out to stop her, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic.
Lu You paused, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Don't you want to give him a surprise?"
Shang Wu lowered her head, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her voice slightly weak: "I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know."
Lu You's smile gradually faded.
She sat down beside Shang Wu's bed and carefully observed her expression.
Shang Wu didn't feel much of the joy of an expectant mother; instead, she was filled with unease and hesitation.
"You don't want this child?" Lu You asked cautiously.
"No." Shang Wu immediately shook her head, instinctively protecting her lower abdomen. "It's not that I don't want it, it's just that it was too sudden, I wasn't prepared at all."
Her voice was tinged with melancholy, "Sister You, you know the families of origin that Lu and I come from. I'm afraid we won't be good parents."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Lu You understood instantly.
Shang Wu was tossed about by cold family affection.
Although Lu Rang was born into the Yu family, he had been filled with repression and loneliness since his youth.
Neither of them, to some extent, believed in family and kinship.
Moreover, the sudden arrival of a new life that needs their care is a burden that not everyone can bear all at once.
Shang Wu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to be a good mother, afraid that she wouldn't be able to give her child a truly happy home.
Looking at the vulnerability in Shang Wu's eyes, Lu You felt a pang of sadness.
She understood Shang Wu's concerns.
She reached out and gently hugged Shang Wu, softening her voice: "I understand, A-Wu, I understand your fear. It's normal. Anyone would panic when suddenly faced with something so big."
Lu You gently patted Shang Wu's back, trying to comfort her: "But look, you and A Rang are different from your parents. You went through so much to be together. You love each other deeply and know how to cherish each other. You will definitely try your best to give your child the best love and companionship."
"As for those shadows of the past, it's precisely because you've experienced them that you know better how to avoid them, isn't it?"
Shang Wu leaned on Lu You's shoulder, her eyes reddening.
She understands the principles.
However, she really wasn't ready yet.
This kind of worry and confusion cannot be easily dispelled by a few words of comfort.
"Don't tell Lu Rang yet, okay?" Shang Wu pleaded in a low voice. "Let me calm down and think it over."
Lu You sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for now, but you can't keep it from him for too long."
“This is your child, he has the right to know, and I believe that if Ajan knew, he would want the child.”
Shang Wu nodded silently, her mind a jumbled mess.
