Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 102 gave me the right to be a father.

Although she doesn't like doing housework and is rather lazy, this is, after all, their little home, and there are some things she can do that she still has to do.

Especially considering how hard Sheng Zexi trains, it's really tough for him to come back and cook.

She tries to share the burden as much as she can.

Just as I was about to leave the kitchen, thinking that Sheng Zexi should be back soon, a tall figure rushed in.

Before she could react, the figure was already in front of her, barely stopping.

Perhaps because he ran quite fast, he was still a little out of breath.

Before he could even catch his breath, he shoved a report in front of Gu Jianing and pointed at it, "Ning, Ningning, look..."

Gu Jianing then realized it was Sheng Zexi. Without even looking at the report, she said, "Why did you run so fast? You're still out of breath when you start talking. Take a break first."

Sheng Zexi shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"Ningning, look at this report! Do you see it? The test results show you're pregnant!"

"Ningning, you're really pregnant!"

Gu Jianing glanced at the report and indeed, it showed that she was pregnant, one month along.

However, at this point, it was not possible to detect two embryos, let alone twins.

Gu Jianing was not surprised by the result at all. She had already received a positive answer from the system, and the system's check results could not be wrong.

"Yes, I saw it. It shows that I'm pregnant."

Gu Jianing leaned closer to look at him. "I told you before that I was pregnant, but you just didn't believe me, hmph."

Sheng Zexi was both amused and exasperated. He caught his breath and said, "I... I really didn't expect that."

He felt it was impossible for it to be so miraculous. They had only been trying to conceive for a short time, how could he get pregnant so quickly, especially considering the problems he had before?

He really didn't dare to hope for that.

So when Gu Jianing said that day, he really didn't take it seriously. Even when he accompanied her to the hospital for a blood test, it was only because Gu Jianing wanted to, so he went along.

Unexpectedly, the results have now come out, giving him a huge surprise.

As he spoke, Sheng Zexi's eyes reddened, and he could no longer hold back the emotions he had been suppressing.

“Ningning, do you know? I once thought I would never have children in my life…”

One reason I think this way is because I was injured during a mission and had difficulty conceiving.

Another reason is that his mother died early, his father remarried, and his biological father gradually became his stepfather, which led him to have no expectations for his original family and the relationship between father and child.

He didn't receive fatherly love from his father, so he was afraid that when he had children in the future, he wouldn't know how to give them fatherly love.

He was afraid he wasn't doing a good enough job.

So, he was relieved that he was having difficulty conceiving due to his physical injury at the time.

I thought, maybe I should never get married in this life. Not getting married and not having children would be just fine.

But, by a twist of fate, he met Gu Jianing that year and fell in love with her, unable to extricate himself from the relationship. Even though he had fertility problems, he was still unwilling to give up.

After that, he married Ningning.

Although Ningning didn't say it, Sheng Zexi knew that Ningning liked children.

When he learned that Gu Jianing possessed medical skills and would treat his body, he had some expectations.

Sheng Zexi, who once didn't expect to have children and felt unable to give them love, has started to look forward to having children with his partner.

At that time, he hoped that if he and Ningning had a child, whether it was a boy or a girl, he would love him dearly and give him everything he could. But, despite his thoughts and the treatment he was undergoing, he still dared not have too high expectations.

Later, news came from Ningning's sister-in-law's family that she was pregnant. This was because Ningning had recovered from her illness, and he had also recovered from his illness.

That's when Sheng Zexi began to have expectations.

But at that time, he thought that as long as he and Ningning had a child within the next five years, he would be content.

So when Gu Jianing mentioned being pregnant on New Year's Eve and went to the hospital for a checkup, he didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he thought that Ningning might have irregular periods and be feeling unwell, so he decided to find a doctor to treat her.

I also felt I needed to reassure Ningning and tell her not to be so anxious about being pregnant.

But unexpectedly, he was the fool.

Ningning was right; she was right about both the initial treatment and her pregnancy.

Therefore, Ningning has always been right.

"You cried?" Gu Jianing exclaimed in surprise.

Sheng Zexi realized what was happening, reached out and touched his face, and found it was wet.

He cried.

However, Sheng Zexi didn't think that men crying was anything shameful.

"Ningning, I'm crying because I'm happy."

“Ningning, I used to think I would never have children, and I had no expectations, but you gave me hope and the right to be a father.”

"Ningning, how can you be so kind?"

"Thank you."

After saying that, Sheng Zexi gently embraced Gu Jianing, holding her as if he were holding the whole world.

Gu Jianing looked up, quite proudly, and said, "Then you definitely have to thank me. Besides, being pregnant is a very difficult thing, so you have to treat me even better in the future."

"Yes, yes, I will," Sheng Zexi hurriedly assured him.

Just then, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "How could I have forgotten!"

"what happened?"

Sheng Zexi said with some annoyance, "I was so focused on answering that I forgot to ask Dr. Hao what precautions to take when caring for a pregnant woman. I have to go ask her."

“No rush, you can ask later if you have the chance. I probably need to cook now. Brother Xi, your wife and kids are hungry…” Gu Jianing pouted slightly and said sweetly.

"Oh right, it's noon. Look at me, I almost forgot. Go sit on the kang (heated brick bed) and don't get cold. I'll go to the kitchen to cook some dishes now."

"I'll go help you."

"No, you're pregnant, you can't move around. Go to the kang (heated brick bed) now."

Gu Jianing was both amused and exasperated. In the end, she could only go back to the kang (a heated brick bed) to warm herself up and wait for Sheng Zexi to cook the meal and bring it over so they could eat together.

After the meal, Sheng Zexi took on the task of washing the dishes again.

Before she was pregnant, Sheng Zexi wouldn't let Gu Jianing wash the dishes because the water was cold in winter. Now that Gu Jianing is pregnant, he's even less likely to let her do it.

In Sheng Zexi's words, "He's a man, tough and strong, young and vigorous, so he can do any job without getting hurt."

But Gu Jianing is a woman, so it's different. She's delicate and frail, with tender skin, and easily gets sick if she gets chilled.

Therefore, it's best to rest as much as possible.

Sheng Zexi was washing the dishes when suddenly, Gu Jianing heard urgent knocking at the door outside the courtyard...
