Chapter 723: Chapter 723: I Have Some Good News for You, Zhixi is Pregnant
He chuckled softly, “I understand, you’re hinting that being pregnant will be tough and there might be risks.”
“That’s not what I meant…” she stuck out her tongue.
The man’s Adam’s apple moved as he suddenly pulled back the blanket from her body and his burning hand covered her lower abdomen.
His expression was a bit odd, as if he were both curious and incredulous.
Zhixi couldn’t help but smile, placing her hands on his, “Mhm. It’s not visible yet, but in three months it will be obvious.”
He Jingyao softly “Mhm” in response and abruptly took hold of her chin, planting a prolonged kiss on her lips.
“Thank you for bringing Xiaobao to me,” he said hoarsely, “and for this one now… I’m so happy.”
“I thought you were unhappy…” Zhixi said timidly.
His serious face on the whole journey had scared her quite a bit.
He laughed in defeat, pinching her face, “I almost thought something bad had happened to you. I was still unsettled when you suddenly told me you’re pregnant… What kind of expression do you think I should have had?”
In fact, he had felt dazed the whole way, the thought of her being pregnant continuously swirling in his head, yet without any sense of reality.
In his memory, he had never lost his composure to such an extent. Only this woman had the power to do it.
Remembering his expressionless face just moments ago, Zhixi let out a giggle and joyfully threw herself into his arms, “Jingyao, let’s go home. I don’t want to stay in the hospital.”
“Mhm,” he said, ruffling her hair, “Let’s go home.”
Zhixi was about to get out of bed when her coat vibrated.
She hurriedly took out her phone and upon seeing the caller ID, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah!”
He Jingyao gave her an inquisitive look.
She grimaced, “I was supposed to meet with mom and Mr. Cheng Youlin…”
The call was from Gu Bingjun, who was anxious to find out what was going on.
The problem was, it was nearly noon, and she was still in the hospital…
Seeing her guilt-ridden face, He Jingyao took the phone from her hand, swiped to answer, and said “Hello.”
Gu Bingjun asked with surprise, “He Jingyao?”
“Yes,” He Jingyao curled the corner of his lips slightly, “Zhixi had a bit of an accident on her way, but of course, she’s fine. However, she can’t visit Mr. Cheng Youlin anymore. Mr. Gu, you should go in person.” Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel•fire.net
“What happened?” Gu Bingjun’s voice rose, “Give her the phone!”
“I have some good news to tell you, Zhixi is pregnant. You’re going to have another grandchild,” He Jingyao spoke very calmly, “She needs to rest in bed right now.”
Gu Bingjun gasped in shock!
Even without the phone pressed to her ear, Zhixi could hear his sharp intake of breath clearly. She quickly took the phone from He Jingyao’s hand, and trembled, “Um… Dad, as for mom, you’ll have to go yourself. We’ll talk about the rest when we see each other.”
Then she calmly hung up the call.
On the other end, Gu Bingjun was left hearing the dial tone, still not quite processing it.
He’d been anxious all morning, and this girl hadn’t even seen the person she was supposed to meet! In the end, he had to go himself.
But, this girl was actually pregnant!
Xiaobao ran over, thump thump thump, “Grandpa, was that mom’s call?”
“Yes,” Gu Bingjun still seemed a bit out of sorts, “Xiaobao, you’re really going to have a little brother or sister.”
