The person who answered the phone was none other than Lu Yiheng, the father who was always busy.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel curious, thinking to himself, "How come my father, who is usually so busy and often on business trips, is home by such a coincidence today?" Just as he was wondering, he heard his father's slightly tired but still gentle voice on the other end of the phone: "I just got back. I didn't even have time to change out of these clothes when the phone rang urgently, so I came to answer it."
Lu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Dad, I have something important to tell you!"
Lu Yiheng on the other end of the phone replied with a chuckle, "Oh? What's wrong? Is there a problem with your purchasing agent business in Pengcheng?"
Lu Yuan quickly shook his head and denied it: "Oh, no, it's not because of those trivial matters this time."
Lu Yiheng's tone became slightly serious: "So what exactly is it? Could it be that you're in charge of it yourself? With so many projects, you should have a good idea of what's going on, right? Don't let other things delay the work progress."
Lu Yuan, however, remained unconvinced and replied with a smile, "Dad, no matter how many important projects I have on hand, they can't compare to what I'm about to talk about!"
Lu Yiheng looked on with suspicion and asked in bewilderment, "What kind of earth-shattering project could you possibly have? Tell me about it!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan deliberately kept everyone in suspense, remaining silent for a while until Lu Yiheng's patience was about to run out before slowly speaking, "Hehe, why don't you guess..."
Lu Yiheng really wanted to urge him anxiously, "Stop dawdling and tell me right now!"
Finally, Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then said clearly, word by word, "Dad, your adorable little granddaughter is coming to report for duty!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yiheng on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then as if struck by a sudden bolt of happiness, his face instantly blossomed into an incredibly bright smile, and even his voice became exceptionally cheerful: "Really? Duoduo...she's pregnant?"
Lu Yuan nodded vigorously and repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement, his joy overflowing like a burst dam, making him speak with barely suppressed excitement: "That's right! Dad, you're absolutely right!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yiheng's face immediately lit up with a smile brighter than the sun. His laughter was so hearty and loud that it made the phone receiver buzz: "Haha, great! That's wonderful! Does your mother know about this joyous occasion?"
Lu Yuan grinned, revealing a set of clean, white teeth. He hurriedly replied, "Dad, I only found out about this today. Duo Duo has been sleeping almost all day. I thought it would be better if we told our parents about such great news together."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yiheng smiled so broadly his eyes narrowed into slits, nodding repeatedly in agreement: "Good, good, good, as expected of my son, so thoughtful! Alright, I'll go and flip through the dictionary right away to pick a nice and auspicious name for my precious granddaughter. You know, this is the first time our family has welcomed a baby girl!"
At that moment, Qian Duoduo was holding the phone tightly between herself and Lu Yuan, and every word Lu Yiheng said came into her ears with perfect clarity. She frowned slightly and muttered to Lu Yuan in a low voice, "Honey, my baby is only a month old. We can't even be sure if it's a boy or a girl yet. Isn't it a bit too early to be in such a hurry to choose a name?"
However, Lu Yiheng's voice came through the microphone, his tone firm and leaving no room for negotiation: "Granddaughter, it must be granddaughter! I have a feeling, this time it's definitely right!"
Upon hearing Lu Yiheng's words, Qian Duoduo slowly raised her head, looking at Lu Yuan with a face full of confusion. Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep bewilderment and confusion. She simply couldn't understand why the Lu family had such a strong and persistent desire to have a girl.
At this moment, Lu Yiheng said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'm going to find your mother right now. This is such exciting good news, I must let her be happy too!" Before he finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone.
Lu Yuan stared blankly at the phone that had just been hung up on, then slowly turned his head and looked at his wife beside him with disbelief, muttering to himself, "My dad... he just hung up on me like that." He shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo gently took the phone from Lu Yuan's hand, carefully put it back in its place, and then, like a frightened little rabbit, quickly shrank into the warm quilt, muttering, "Since the people in Beijing already know about this, I should go to sleep first."
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile gently. He reached out and gently stroked Qian Duoduo's soft hair, his movements so gentle as if he were afraid of waking her. However, after only a few strokes, he heard Qian Duoduo's soft but even snoring.
Seeing his wife sleeping so soundly, Lu Yuan's smile never faded. Just as he was about to get up to turn off the bedside lamp and go to sleep, a sudden, urgent phone call rang. Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed the phone, while simultaneously glancing down at Qian Duoduo beside him. He saw that she had only stirred slightly but hadn't woken up, and Lu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
A gentle, elegant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Son, Mom heard that your wife is pregnant?"
Upon hearing his mother's question, Lu Yuan replied briefly, "Yes, Mom."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wenya on the other end of the phone instantly broke into a bright smile. Her laughter seemed to penetrate the receiver, allowing Lu Yuan to clearly feel her joy and happiness.
Wen Ya then asked with concern, "Son, are you finding it convenient to live in Pengcheng? Is there anything you're not used to or finding inconvenient?"
Lu Yuan glanced at Qian Duoduo, who had turned over, lowered his voice slightly, and replied softly, "Yes, Mom, everything is fine here, it's very convenient."
Wenya said, "Then Mom, go take care of Duoduo!"
However, at that moment, Lu Yiheng, sitting next to Wenya, suddenly froze. He quickly reached out a strong, thick hand and tightly embraced his wife's slender waist, his face showing clear disapproval. Clearly, he didn't want his beloved wife to leave him to take care of someone else.
Wenya completely ignored her husband's silent protest and continued talking to Lu Yuan as if nothing had happened. When she learned that Qian Duoduo had been sleeping all day, she frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Oh dear, this is probably a normal physiological phenomenon caused by her body being too tired and the surge in estrogen during pregnancy."
