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 touched Xie Wanying's stomach, saying, "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 his face flushed with excitement.
"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 herbal medicines anymore. I've been heartbroken for you all these years. Now we finally have a child. As long as you're comfortable, I'm willing to do anything for you."
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."
