Chapter 296 I'm Going to Be a Dad
After Dr. Shen left, Su Wantang stood at the door for a long time in a daze.
She looked down at her stomach and gently placed her hand on it.
It was still flat there; you couldn't see anything.
But a little life is quietly growing there.
She turned and walked towards the study.
My footsteps were light, but my heart was beating fast.
Lu Jingyan was still looking at the documents.
He had his back to the door, his back ramrod straight, and he was holding a pen, writing something on a piece of paper.
Su Wantang walked behind him without saying a word.
She took a deep breath and then suddenly hugged him from behind.
Lu Jingyan's body stiffened.
"Late-blooming Tang"
"Um."
Su Wantang pulled his hand down and placed it on her stomach.
Lu Jingyan's hand holding the pen stopped.
He froze for a few seconds, then slowly turned around.
"you……"
Su Wantang looked up at him, her eyes shining brightly.
"I'm pregnant."
Lu Jingyan's Adam's apple bobbed.
"real"
"real."
Lu Jingyan put down his pen and cupped her face in his hands.
His hands were shaking.
You didn't lie to me.
Su Wantang laughed, "Why would I lie to you?"
Lu Jingyan looked at her, his eyes reddening.
This man, who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, was now speechless, his eyes red.
He suddenly bent down and picked her up.
"Lu Jingyan!"
"I'm going to be a dad."
Lu Jingyan held her and spun her around several times.
His voice trembled.
"I'm going to be a dad."
Su Wantang felt dizzy from being spun around. "Put me down!"
"I won't let go."
Lu Jingyan hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck.
"Wantang, I'm going to be a father."
Su Wantang felt his tears dripping onto her neck.
Her nose started to sting.
Yes, you're going to be a father.
Lu Jingyan held her for a long time before slowly putting her down.
He knelt down and pressed his face against her stomach.
"Little guy, you've finally arrived."
Su Wantang smiled and patted his head, "It's only been a few days, he can't hear yet."
"I don't care," Lu Jingyan said. "I'm going to talk to him now."
His hand rested on her stomach, very gently.
"Little one, I'm your dad."
"If your mom bullies me in the future, you have to help me."
Su Wantang kicked him, "When did I bully you?"
Lu Jingyan looked up at her, his eyes full of smiles.
"They bully me every day."
Su Wantang blushed. "Nonsense."
Lu Jingyan stood up and pulled her into his arms.
"Wantang".
"Um"
"Thank you."
Su Wantang leaned against him and closed her eyes.
"fool."
The news quickly reached the old man and his parents.
When Meng Wan heard the news, she was making tea for the old man.
Her hand trembled, and the teapot almost fell to the ground.
"What did you say"
Lu Jingyan stood at the door with a smile on his face.
"Mom, Wan Tang is pregnant."
Meng Wan paused for two seconds, then rushed over and hugged Su Wantang.
Oh my goodness!
Her tears immediately fell.
"I'm going to be a grandma!"
Lu Zhenguo paced back and forth in the living room.
He walked quickly with his hands behind his back.
"I'm going to be a grandfather."
He walked around twice and said it again.
"I'm going to be a grandfather."
Grandpa Lu sat on the sofa, his face beaming like a chrysanthemum.
"Good! Good, good, good!"
He patted the sofa armrest and said "good" three times.
"Xiao Gao!"
Gao Jianjun ran in from outside, "Grandpa!"
"Go, give everyone in the family a three-day holiday and a big red envelope to each person!"
Gao Jianjun was stunned. "Grandpa, what happened?"
"Great news!" the old man exclaimed. "Great news!"
He stood up and walked to Su Wantang.
"Girl, you've worked hard."
Su Wantang smiled and shook her head, "It's not hard work."
The old man pulled her to sit down, saying, "From now on, you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want."
He turned to look at Lu Jingyan, "You better watch out. If Wan Tang gets hurt, I'll beat you with a military baton."
Lu Jingyan stood at attention. "Yes, sir!"
The old man then turned to Meng Wan and said, "Go and call Wang Ma over. You two need to keep an eye on Wan Tang's diet."
Meng Wan wiped away her tears, "Oh! I'm going right now!"
Lu Zhenguo was still wandering around the living room.
"I'm going to be a grandfather."
"I'm going to be a grandfather."
The old man couldn't stand it anymore. "Could you please sit down?"
Lu Zhenguo shook his head, "There's no room."
He was so excited that he continued to wander around the living room.
"I'm going to be a grandfather."
The old man looked at him and couldn't stop laughing.
Meng Wan pulled Wang Ma in.
When Wang Ma heard the news, she burst into tears on the spot.
"Young Miss..."
She grabbed Su Wantang's hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
"You finally have a child..."
Su Wantang patted her hand, "Wang Ma, don't cry."
"I'm so happy..." Wang Ma wiped away her tears, "I'm so happy..."
Meng Wan pulled Wang Ma to sit down, "We need to discuss Wan Tang's diet."
"Yes, yes, yes," said Wang Ma. "I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can make something nice tonight."
"Don't make it too greasy," Meng Wan said. "Wantang doesn't have a good appetite right now, so she needs something light."
"I know, I know."
The two of them discussed it enthusiastically.
Su Wantang sat on the sofa, watching them busy themselves.
She suddenly realized that this home was truly warm.
That evening, the Lu family's dining table was laden with dishes.
All of these were carefully prepared by Wang Ma, nutritious yet light.
Su Wantang ate only half a bowl of rice before she couldn't eat anymore.
Lu Jingyan immediately tensed up, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Su Wantang said, "I just can't eat."
Meng Wan quickly said, "Then don't eat anymore, eat when you're hungry."
The old man nodded, "Yes, eat when you're hungry, don't force yourself."
Lu Zhenguo also said, "Wantang can eat whatever she wants."
Su Wantang was both amused and exasperated. "I'm not a patient."
"Just treat him like a patient!" Meng Wan said. "You need to take good care of yourself now."
After dinner, Lu Jingyan helped Su Wantang walk towards the bedroom.
He held her waist with one hand and protected her stomach with the other, very carefully.
Su Wantang couldn't help but laugh, "Are you serious?"
"As for it," Lu Jingyan said, "you're a national treasure now, so you have to be careful."
Back in the bedroom, Su Wantang noticed that there was a non-slip carpet on the floor.
The corners of the table and cabinets were all covered with soft padding.
Even the handles on the bedside table were replaced with round ones.
"This is……"
“I had someone do it,” Lu Jingyan said, “so you wouldn’t bump into it.”
Looking at the soft cushions all over the room, Su Wantang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
“Lu Jingyan, I’m not a porcelain doll.”
"That's how I see it."
Lu Jingyan carried her to the bed and covered her with a blanket.
"You lie down, I'll go get you some water."
"I'm not thirsty."
"Then lie down."
Lu Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed, his hand on her stomach.
"Little one, how was your day?"
Su Wantang laughed, "Don't keep talking to him, he can't hear you."
"I don't care," Lu Jingyan said. "I'm going to start building a relationship with him now."
He bent down and kissed her on the stomach.
"Little one, you must grow up well."
Su Wantang looked at him, her heart melting completely.
"Lu Jingyan".
"Um"
"You will be a good dad."
Lu Jingyan looked up at her, his eyes full of tenderness.
"I will."
He lay down and pulled her into his arms.
"Wantang".
"Um"
"I'm a little scared."
Su Wantang was stunned. "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid all of this is a dream," Lu Jingyan said. "I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, you'll still be that sickly person."
Su Wantang hugged him tightly, "No, it won't happen."
“I know,” Lu Jingyan said, “but I’m still afraid.”
He placed his hand on her stomach and gently massaged it.
"Wantang, this is the first time I've experienced what it means to feel a happy panic."
Su Wantang felt a lump in her throat.
She could understand how he felt.
Because she was the same.
In my past life, I was plagued by illness, and every day I opened my eyes, I wondered if I could survive the day.
Later, when I transmigrated here, there were all sorts of scheming and struggles.
Now that she finally has a child, she's afraid—afraid of losing it all.
"Lu Jingyan".
"Um"
"We will always be fine."
Lu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Yes, it will.
It was very late at night.
Lu Jingyan was still awake.
He held Su Wantang in his arms, his hand resting on her stomach.
Su Wantang had already fallen asleep, and her breathing was steady.
Lu Jingyan looked at her sleeping face and a smile appeared on his lips.
“Little one,” he said softly, “you have to take good care of yourself.”
"Your mother has suffered too much in her life."
"Now that you're here, you have to make her happy."
He paused, then said, "If it's a boy, he'll have to protect your mother in the future."
"If it's a girl, then let your mom protect you."
Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating them.
Lu Jingyan closed his eyes and hugged Su Wantang even tighter.
He slept soundly that night.
In his dream, he saw a little girl who looked exactly like Su Wantang, running towards him.
"dad!"
Lu Jingyan bent down and picked her up.
The little girl was laughing uncontrollably in his arms.
"Dad, I miss you."
Lu Jingyan's heart melted.
"Dad misses you too."
