the next morning.

Lu Yang woke up first, and when he opened his eyes, Li Xixue was still asleep.

He got up and tiptoed out of the bedroom to make breakfast in the kitchen.

I cooked porridge until it was very soft and added some shredded ginger.

When Li Xixue woke up, she smelled the aroma of porridge.

She sat up and glanced at the time.

7:30.

She usually gets up at 6:30.

I overslept today.

Li Xixue got up and walked to the living room, where she saw Lu Yang serving porridge.

"woke up?"

Lu Yang turned to look at her, "Is your stomach still upset?"

"Much better."

Li Xixue walked to the dining table and sat down, glancing at the porridge on the table.

"Did you cook this?"

"Hmm, have some porridge to soothe your stomach."

Lu Yang brought the porridge over and placed it in front of her.

Li Xixue picked up a spoon and took a bite.

The temperature was just right, and the taste was good too.

"It tastes good."

"Then drink more."

Lu Yang sat opposite him and also filled a bowl.

Li Xixue took a few sips, then suddenly put down the spoon and covered her mouth.

That nausea came back again.

Lu Yang looked at her and frowned.

Are you really alright?

"fine."

Li Xixue took a deep breath to suppress the nausea.

"I'm probably just too tired lately."

Lu Yang didn't speak, but he had a vague guess in his mind.

He recalled some information he had seen before.

Morning sickness.

Early pregnancy symptoms.

He glanced at Li Xixue.

No way?

Lu Yang put down his spoon, stood up, and walked to Li Xixue's side.

"Baby, you..."

"What's wrong?"

Li Xixue looked up at him.

When was the last time you had your period?

Li Xixue was stunned for a moment.

This question came out of nowhere.

She thought about it.

Last time?

Seems to be……

Li Xixue's expression changed.

She took out her phone, opened the calendar, and looked at it.

The last time was more than a month ago.

Under normal circumstances, it should have arrived long ago.

But she's been so busy this month that she hasn't even noticed it.

Li Xixue's finger stopped on the phone screen.

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat when he saw her expression.

The two looked at each other.

"Yes or no……"

Li Xixue quickly stood up, went to the bedroom, and rummaged through the cabinet to find a box.

Pregnancy test.

This is what was left over from before.

Li Xixue took the pregnancy test and went into the bathroom, then closed the door.

Lu Yang stood outside the door, his hands in his pockets.

My heart is beating very fast.

If I'm really pregnant...

He didn't know whether to be happy or nervous.

The sound of water could be heard coming from the bathroom.

Lu Yang stood outside the door waiting.

Time passes slowly.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

Li Xixue stood at the door, holding a pregnancy test in her hand.

She looked at the two red lines on the pregnancy test, her expression a mix of emotions.

Lu Yang walked over and took a look.

Two.

I'm really... pregnant.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Li Xixue placed the pregnancy test on the sink and turned to look at Lu Yang.

"I am pregnant."

The two stood at the bathroom door, neither of them speaking.

The atmosphere was a bit eerie.

After a while, Li Xixue spoke first.

"What...what do you think?"

"I?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't know what to think either.

This happened so suddenly.

But if you ask him if he wants the child...

"I think...it's pretty good."

After saying this, Lu Yang looked at Li Xixue.

"And you?"

Li Xixue lowered her head and touched her stomach.

Her stomach is still flat; you can't tell anything from it.

But there's already a little life inside.

Her child.

Lu Yang's child.

"I don't know either."

Li Xixue's voice was very soft.

Everything she did from childhood to adulthood was planned out.

When will I start school, when will I start working, and when will I take over the company?

But this was completely outside of the plan.

Lu Yang walked over and hugged her; he could feel her body trembling slightly.

"Baby, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid."

Li Xixue raised her head and said very seriously, "I just... didn't expect it to be so fast."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the hospital today to confirm?"

"Um."

Li Xixue nodded, turned around and went back to her bedroom to change her clothes.

Lu Yang stood there, watching her back.

pregnant.

He's going to be a father.

The thought swirled in my mind several times, but it still felt somewhat unreal.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the hospital.

Register, get blood drawn, have an ultrasound.

Li Xixue sat on a chair in the waiting area, her hands on her knees, her fingertips slightly white.

Lu Yang sat down beside her and held her hand.

After all, if she really is pregnant, then they will soon be parents.

"nervous?"

"A little."

Li Xixue turned her head to look at him. "And you?"

"I'm nervous too."

Lu Yang took a breath.

Li Xixue didn't speak, but looked down at their clasped hands.

After a while, Li Xixue's name was called.

She got up and went into the consultation room, with Lu Yang following behind.

The doctor was a woman in her forties, wearing glasses and looking very serious.

"The test results are in."

The doctor glanced at the computer screen and said directly, "You are indeed pregnant, about two weeks along."

Li Xixue's fingers tightened.

Two weeks.

This happened this month...

Come to think of it, the two of them have been seeing each other far too frequently lately.

"Progesterone and HCG levels are normal, but..."

The doctor paused for a moment, then looked up at Li Xixue.

"Have you been staying up late a lot lately? Is work stressing you a lot?"

Li Xixue nodded.

"The first trimester is crucial. Your physical condition isn't very good, so I suggest you rest well and avoid overexertion."

The doctor wrote a few lines on the form as he spoke.

"These are folic acid and vitamins. Take them on time and come back for a check-up in three months."

Li Xixue took the order and glanced at the words on it.

Pregnant woman.

These two words made her feel somewhat dazed.

This means she's about to become a mother.

After leaving the clinic, Lu Yang went to get his medicine, while Li Xixue sat on a chair in the corridor waiting.

She looked down at the form in her hand.

Then, subconsciously, I touched my stomach.

There's a little life inside.

It is the result of her and Lu Yang's relationship.

Lu Yang returned with the medicine and sat down next to her.

The two sat in the corridor.

After a while, Li Xixue spoke.

"Lu Yang, about company matters..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I might need to take a break for a while."

Lu Yang turned to look at her.

"How long do you want to rest?"

"I don't know, let's at least stabilize things first."

Li Xixue's voice was very soft, "The doctor said my health condition isn't very good, and I need to be especially careful in the early stages of pregnancy."

Lu Yang nodded.

"What about the company?"

Li Xixue remained silent for a few seconds.

"I was thinking... why don't you take over?"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

"I?"

"Um."

Li Xixue turned to look at him and said softly, "You covered for me yesterday and handled it very well. You also finalized the Nancheng project."

"But that's temporary; in the long run..."

"I know you have no experience."

Li Xixue interrupted him, saying, "But I can teach you."
