Xie Wanying forced a smile: "Of course not. My parents know your work, and you know their character. Besides, I didn't know they were coming."
“My parents came over and just chatted about everyday things. They asked me how I was doing. Because we came back in a hurry, and Shuying and the child were with us, we didn’t stay here for too long.”
She dared not let Fang Deshan know that she had taken the money out, so she could only give a vague response.
Fang Deshan nodded. He was originally just eager to know if Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling had been promoted, as it was a crucial time for the factory to select a factory manager.
If he's lucky, he might be able to rise through the ranks thanks to their relationship.
However, he didn't get any useful information from the brief questioning, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Did my parents-in-law say anything about my job?
Fang Deshan poured Xie Wanying a cup of tea, his eyes darting around before he carefully asked the question.
Xie Wanying's thoughts were wandering, and Fang Deshan asked her several times but she didn't hear him, so he became a little impatient.
"Wanying?"
He moved even closer and called out Xie Wanying's name.
"Huh? What did you say?"
He caught the fleeting panic on Xie Wanying's face.
Fang Deshan found it strange: "Why do you seem so absent-minded today? Is something on your mind?"
Xie Wanying quickly shook her head: "No, no, I'm probably just too tired today."
Fang Deshan gently massaged her shoulders with both hands: "You've been telling me to go see Zhiyan these past few days. I happen to be free tomorrow, so let's buy some things together and go see him."
Xie Wanying looked anxious and quickly waved her hand: "No need, his injury is not very serious this time, he will be discharged soon. Otherwise, we can wait until he is discharged before going. My parents just went today, and there are still two children in the hospital. It would be inappropriate for us to go there rashly."
Fang Deshan didn't understand.
“We’re visiting our own family, so are there any rules or considerations? Wanying, why do I feel like you’re acting so strange today?”
She kept contradicting herself and seemed out of sorts, especially her unnatural smile.
Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying were already wary of her after what happened last time. Fang Deshan was already suspicious, and if the two of them said anything to her again, she would lose her only lifeline.
"Wanying, you know I hate it when people keep things from me. We're husband and wife, so if you have anything to say, you can tell me honestly, and we'll always be able to resolve it."
Fang Deshan tried to glean something from Xie Wanying's face; he felt something was off about her today.
Seeing that she couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation and that she couldn't hide what had happened today no matter what, Xie Wanying looked down at her lower abdomen and could only grit her teeth.
"I... there is something I haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
Fang Deshan looked anxious and placed both hands on her shoulders: "Are you really hiding something from me?"
Xie Wanying took a deep breath: "I'm pregnant."
Fang Deshan thought he had misheard. He looked up in disbelief. This was their third year of marriage, and he had been waiting for this news for far too long.
"Are you... are you telling the truth?"
Xie Wanying felt a burning sensation on her face, but there was no turning back now. She had no choice but to explain herself.
"I only found out this morning. I've been feeling unwell these past few days, and I feel nauseous after eating just a little bit. My period is a week late. I initially thought I was sick, but after going to the hospital for a checkup, I found out I'm pregnant. It's only been a short time, just six weeks. I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, I'll make you happy again."
Fang Deshan carefully placed his hand on Xie Wanying's stomach: "You should have told me sooner! Mom would be so happy to hear such good news!"
He hugged Xie Wanying tightly: "Wanying, tell me, I'm not dreaming, am I? We're really going to have a child, I'm going to have a son soon!"
This is something he's always dreamed of.
Xie Wanying nodded somewhat palely, and could only force a smile: "Of course I'm not dreaming, but didn't Mom say before that we shouldn't announce it to the outside world before the pregnancy is stable? We've been married for so long before having our first child, and I originally wanted to be more cautious, but I didn't expect you to notice something was wrong so quickly."
Overwhelmed by immense joy, Fang Deshan suddenly picked Xie Wanying up from the sofa and spun her around twice.
Xie Wanying's face was pale and she really felt nauseous. She quickly patted Fang Deshan's shoulder: "You, you put me down first. The child is still too young and can't take this kind of tossing and turning."
Fang Deshan was genuinely happy; all the gloom on his face vanished, and he was so excited that his face turned red.
"Yes, yes, look at me, I'm so dumbfounded. You and the child are still too young. You and the child are the most important people to protect in our family right now. Wanying, I will never let you and the child suffer any grievances."
As he spoke, he carefully placed her on the sofa, gently sat down beside her, and put an arm around Xie Wanying's shoulder: "Tell me what you want to eat. You're eating for two now, so you can't let my eldest son go hungry."
Xie Wanying forced a smile: "How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"
Fang Deshan shook his head firmly: "It's definitely a son. Even if it's a daughter, we can just have another one. It's good to have an older sister to take care of a younger brother."
He felt immense happiness: "You won't have to drink those bitter and numbing medicines anymore. I've been so worried about you all these years. Now that we finally have a child, I'm willing to do anything as long as you're comfortable."
Xie Wanying tilted her head and paused: "Then I'm considered a great contributor to your family now, right? I want to buy two outfits and two skirts. When my belly gets bigger, I definitely won't be able to wear these clothes anymore."
Fang Deshan nodded heavily: "Of course, we definitely need to buy clothes. We can't let my eldest son suffer. We'll buy them all tomorrow, and we'll also buy you two pairs of shoes to match. The most important thing right now is for you to be happy. As long as my son is born safely, we'll buy whatever we need."
