Shang Wu's heart nearly jumped into her throat.
Lu Rang was taken aback when he heard her question, which was trembling with tears in her eyes, but then he realized what she meant.
It was the doctor's reaction that caused her to have such a huge misunderstanding.
His heart tightened, feeling both heartache and amusement, and he gripped Shang Wu's cold hand tightly in return.
“Awu,” he said, looking at her pale face and tear-filled eyes, each word clear and slow, “you are not sick. Dr. Li said you might be pregnant.”
"Pregnant...?" Shang Wu was stunned, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the two words, and repeated them.
Those eyes, which were originally filled with fear and despair, gradually brightened, and the unbelievable light grew stronger and stronger.
"Yes, I'm pregnant."
Lu Rang nodded with absolute certainty, and the corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed as he turned up in a smile.
"Dr. Li said that your nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to smells are all typical early pregnancy symptoms. Although you need to go to the hospital for a blood test tomorrow to confirm, the possibility is very high."
Shang Wu's eyes reddened, and she suddenly stretched out her arms to tightly hug Lu Rang's neck, burying her face in his strong shoulder, her voice choked with sobs.
"Really? Lu Rang, really? We...are having a child again?"
"Really, really."
Lu Rang held her tightly, feeling her body tremble slightly and her hot tears falling on his neck. His heart was filled with the joy of regaining what he had lost, as well as a heavy sense of responsibility.
He gently patted Shang Wu's back, as if comforting a frightened child, his voice deep and powerful, "This time, we will definitely protect the child, we definitely will."
Dr. Li watched the two embracing, a relieved smile appearing on his face. He quietly packed his medical kit and silently left the apartment, leaving them alone.
After calming down a bit, Shang Wu leaned against Lu Rang's chest and stroked her still flat stomach.
Her eyes were so gentle they could melt your heart, but they also held a hint of barely perceptible worry.
She recalled the child she had lost in the accident last time, and felt a lingering fear.
“Lu Rang,” she said softly, “can we not tell everyone so quickly this time? I want to wait until the baby is more stable, at least until after the first three months.”
She needs some time to calm down and carefully protect this hard-won new life.
She didn't want to endure any more potential accidents or the pressure from excessive attention.
Lu Rang immediately understood her concerns. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, agreeing without hesitation.
"Okay, whatever you say. This is a secret between the two of us. We'll tell you whenever you want."
He knew the psychological trauma he had caused Shang Wu last time, and he would unconditionally support her in anything that could make her feel at ease.
He immediately contacted Dr. Li and a senior prenatal nutritionist to tailor a detailed conditioning and diet plan for Shang Wu.
The family's daily diet became light and nutritionally balanced, and all ingredients and smells that might cause discomfort were strictly avoided.
Lu Rang even personally supervised the kitchen to ensure that every meal met the nutritionist's requirements.
He adjusted his work schedule to try to leave work on time and go home to be with Shang Wu.
The apartment is always stocked with various sour snacks and soda crackers to help Shangwu cope with her sudden morning sickness.
In the evening, Lu Rang would accompany Shang Wu for a walk, but they would never go to crowded places.
He calmly arranged everything, as if handling an important case, with clear logic and decisive action, yet revealing gentle consideration in every aspect.
Under Lu Rang's meticulous care, Shang Wu's early pregnancy symptoms persisted, but her mood gradually became more relaxed and cheerful.
Watching Lu Rang busy himself for her made her feel incredibly at ease.
That day.
Shang Wu felt good and her morning sickness seemed to have lessened a bit, so she suddenly had a whim.
"How about we invite my sister and Cheng Zhou over for dinner? It's been so long since we've seen each other, and besides..."
She blinked. "Let's see how long they can keep up their act before they discover our secret."
Lu Rang looked at her unusual childlike behavior and smiled indulgently.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
At dinner time, Lu You and Cheng Zhou arrived on time, bringing with them a bottle of red wine that looked quite expensive.
"Celebrating your honeymoon return, and by the way..."
Cheng Zhou shook the bottle and grinned mischievously, "See if you have any new travel stories to share?"
He glanced at Lu Rang meaningfully, clearly still remembering Lu Rang's clumsy performance of having a stomachache last time.
Lu Rang accepted the red wine without changing his expression and responded calmly.
"I had a pleasant trip, thank you for your concern."
He casually placed it in the wine cabinet without opening it.
Dinner was arranged by Lu Rang based on the nutritionist's advice; the flavors were light, but the ingredients were fresh and of high quality.
The atmosphere was harmonious as everyone chatted about their recent lives, and Cheng Zhou recounted some interesting stories from the restaurant.
Lu You shared the progress of managing the dock.
Shang Wu also talked about the studio's new projects, and her complexion looked much better than before.
Lu Rang got up and poured drinks for everyone, giving Shang Wu a glass of warm orange juice.
"Hey? Ah Wu, won't you have some? This red wine is pretty good."
Cheng asked casually.
Shang Wu glanced at Lu Rang subconsciously, then smiled and waved to Cheng Zhou: "No, my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, and the doctor advised me to abstain from alcohol for a while."
Across from her, Lu You's gaze lingered on Shang Wu's face for a few seconds, then swept over her lonely glass of orange juice, and her slender eyebrows twitched slightly.
She didn't say anything, but simply picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
