Chapter 362 You Are Going to Be a Father
After work, Xu Nuo returned home from the hospital, took out the test report from his bag and placed it on the coffee table.
She was going to the kitchen to cook. After she had cooked the porridge and was about to stir-fry the vegetables, the smell of oil smoke wafted into her nose and that nausea came back.
Inevitably, there was another round of dry heaving.
Xu Nuo felt that he could no longer cook, at least for the past few months.
So, she decided to call Lu Chen and ask him when he would be back.
His low and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong?"
"When will you be back?"
"I'm getting ready to get off work. What's wrong? Your voice sounds a little weak."
Xu Nuo paused, gently pressed his fingertips against his stomach, and whispered, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable... You come back and cook."
Lu Chen's voice immediately became tense: "You feel uncomfortable in your stomach? Did you have an upset stomach?"
"No, I just don't feel well and don't want to smell the food."
Lu Chen didn't think much about it, and immediately responded: "I know, I'll be back soon, wait for me."
She didn't say much, just said "hmm" lightly, but after hanging up the phone, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
When Lu Chen pushed open the door, there was only a warm yellow floor lamp on in the living room. Xu Nuo was lying on the sofa with a thin blanket draped over him, looking a little tired.
He walked over quickly, knelt on one knee beside the sofa, and reached out to touch her forehead: "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? You look very tired. Did you toss too hard last night?"
His palm was warm. Xu Nuo tilted her head slightly, rubbed his hand, and said softly, "Yes, I am indeed a little tired these days."
Lu Chen chuckled, his tone a little apologetic and doting: "It's my fault. I'll let you take a break for a while."
Xu Nuo raised her eyes to look at him, with a faint smile in her eyes: "You really should let me take a break for a while."
She reached out and picked up the folded checklist from the coffee table and handed it to him.
Lu Chen took it suspiciously, unfolded it and looked at it. His eyes were fixed on the paper for a few seconds, then he suddenly raised his head, his pupils slightly dilated: "This...?"
"Yeah." Xu Nuo nodded, his voice as light as a feather falling to the ground, "You are going to be a father."
Lu Chen's breathing obviously stagnated for a moment, and then he hugged her in his arms with such force that she almost couldn't breathe.
His voice was trembling, but he couldn't hide his ecstasy: "Really? Really?!"
"Really." She smiled and pushed him, "Be gentle, don't strangle me."
He immediately let go, but held her face helplessly, and gently rubbed her cheek with his thumb, his eyes full of unbelievable joy: "I'm going to be a father... I'm going to be a father!"
Xu Nuo was amused by him: "Is it necessary to be so excited?"
"Of course! This is your child and mine." He said firmly, and then became nervous again, "From today on, you are not allowed to do anything. I will cook and do the housework. You just need to have a good rest."
At this point, he suddenly thought, what if he couldn't return from a mission?
So he said, "Why not ask someone for help?"
Pay some money and ask someone to help you cook.
"Stop." Xu Nuo interrupted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Just live a normal life. Pay attention to what you need to pay attention to, but there's no need to treat him like a national treasure."
Lu Chen frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer, but still nodded reluctantly: "Okay, then I will take care of you for the time being. If I have something to do, I will ask someone to come back to help take care of you."
Xu Nuo thought that after the first three months, the pregnancy symptoms would disappear and she would be able to cook for herself.
So, she agreed first, so as not to make the man worry.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
At night, before going to bed, Lu Chen hugged her from behind, his palm carefully covering her still flat belly, as if touching some fragile treasure.
He lowered his head and kissed her neck gently, his voice low and hoarse: "Who do you think he will look like?"
"It's only been a few weeks, and you're already thinking about this?" Xu Nuo laughed.
"No matter who she looks like, she must be cute." His fingertips gently stroked her abdomen, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her, looking forward to the upcoming new life with joy.
Xu Nuo turned his head to look at him. Under the light, his eyes and brows were incredibly gentle.
She reached out and pinched his face, and whispered, "Fool."
Lu Chen chuckled and hugged her tighter.
After Xu Nuo went to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a blood test and got the results, Wang Fang told her colleagues in the department the news of her pregnancy, hoping that everyone would take better care of Xu Nuo in their daily lives.
So, everyone knew about it, and Ling Sheng, the head of the department, naturally knew about it at the first time.
That night, he told Qin Huayun the news.
Qin Huayun was trimming the green plants on the windowsill. When she heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows relaxed and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised: "Really? That's great! Lu Chen is going to be a father... and I'm going to be a grandmother too."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the joy gradually faded away like the receding tide.
——Yeah, so what even if Xu Nuo is pregnant?
Lu Chen would not take the initiative to tell her the news, nor would he easily forgive everything in the past just because of the arrival of the child.
Ling Sheng stood aside, keenly aware of her emotional changes, and advised her gently: "Don't be anxious, take your time, the relationship must be repaired step by step."
Qin Huayun smiled bitterly. Repair? I'm afraid it will be difficult.
She no longer expected it.
"You say... should I give Xu Nuo something? Supplements? Jewelry? Or..." She wanted to give Xu Nuo something to express her concern.
No matter what, Lu Chen is her biological son, Xu Nuo is her biological daughter-in-law, and the child in her belly is her biological grandson or granddaughter.
As a grandmother, she should give some gifts to show her appreciation.
However, she was worried that Xu Nuo would not accept it at all, and it would most likely be returned.
Ling Sheng saw her hesitation and spoke at the right time: "Dr. William has already entered the country. His first stop is Beijing. The surgery should be arranged soon. If you can go over and help arrange it, Lu Chen might appreciate it."
Qin Huayun's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped some hope: "Yes, you are right! I will buy the train ticket tomorrow and go there early to prepare."
Ling Sheng nodded, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes when he saw her regain her spirits.
Qin Huayun is also a man of action. Early the next morning, he packed his things, took the bus to the train station, bought a train ticket to Beijing, and boarded the train.
At dusk, she rushed to the military compound and knocked on the Lu family's door.
When Cheng Wanying opened the door of her house and saw Qin Huayun, she was stunned for several seconds.
"Why is it you?"
