Seeing the dreamy look on her face, Ni Sitian squeezed her hands together to confirm, "Yes, you're pregnant! You have a baby!"
Ni Tianzhen's eyes reddened even more; she had truly never hoped that she would have another child.
I was so happy that I didn't even know what expression to make.
After a long time, I gradually calmed down.
She thought of Liang Xiujie and Liang Kaile. When they first met on a blind date, she told Liang Xiujie that she couldn't get pregnant. At the time, Liang Xiujie said that he didn't care about that.
Could it be that he actually has no requirements, but rather hopes that his wife is in this state?
Stepmothers without children tend to be more devoted to their stepsons, while many stepmothers with children inevitably show favoritism, which Liang Xiujie may also be worried about.
Otherwise, given Liang Xiujie's circumstances, even if he were to remarry, he would still have many options. Why did he choose her when he knew she was infertile?
"Sister, what's wrong?" Ni Sitian asked worriedly when she saw her brows furrowing.
Ni Tianzhen snapped out of her jumbled thoughts; perhaps she was just overthinking things.
She and Liang Xiujie have lived a harmonious life for the past year since their marriage. Because they have both been through marriage before, they are quite experienced in handling marital relationships and getting along, so they haven't had a single argument in the past year.
However, it seems that something is missing. They are more like friends sleeping in the same bed, even the intimate things between husband and wife are done calmly and with restraint.
"Sitian, don't tell anyone about this yet," Ni Tianzhen said to Ni Sitian after thinking it over.
Ni Sitian thought that she was afraid that the pregnancy was not stable and it was inconvenient for her to talk about it, so she nodded without thinking too much and then helped her to sit down on the sofa.
Not long after Ni Tianzhen sat down, Liang Xiujie entered the room.
Ni Sitian looked at him, called him "brother-in-law," then winked at Ni Tianzhen before leaving the house, leaving the two of them in the living room.
Liang Xiujie went to Ni Tianzhen's side, touched her forehead, and said, "Xiao Le said you're not feeling well. Where does it hurt?"
His voice was calm and steady, with a hint of concern, but not overly eager or anxious.
"My stomach is a little upset," Ni Tianzhen replied, without any coquettishness or intimacy.
"I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow morning for a gastroscopy." Liang Xiujie knew that her stomach hadn't been feeling well these past few days and had told her to see a doctor. He'd been quite busy at the procuratorate lately, handling Vice Mayor Qin's case, and had almost neglected to go. He felt it was better if he went with her.
"There's no need for that trouble. I can go by myself. It's inconvenient for you to take time off work, so don't let it interfere with your work." Ni Tianzhen wanted to go for a pregnancy test herself and tell him after confirming the pregnancy.
When Liang Xiujie heard her say that, his eyes darkened slightly.
He used to really appreciate her thoughtfulness. He was indeed very busy with work, and he was about to be promoted. Unlike his ex-wife, she didn't always want him to be with her, so he should have felt relaxed.
But recently I've slowly realized something's wrong. She's become so independent that she doesn't seem to need him at all. Sometimes she doesn't even tell him when she's sick. She even does everything herself, like changing light bulbs or fixing water pipes.
She does a great job at work, housework, and taking care of the children. It seems she can live without him. On the contrary, he is well taken care of in this marriage. Apart from sharing some of the housework, he doesn't seem to do anything for her.
They managed to maintain a respectful and courteous relationship as husband and wife, but it's hard to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
