Song Ci’s heart ached. She held Lu Gan even tighter.
“Don’t be upset, okay?”
Lu Gan’s eyes were like a bottomless pit.
Song Ci tried to comfort him, “Yujin and Little Suo are still young. They might have misunderstood something. Why don’t you try to have a talk with your dad? Maybe…”
Before Song Ci could finish her sentence, Lu Gan put his finger on her lips.
“It’s not necessary.”
Lu Gan sounded very calm. He had made up his mind about Lu Hongyong. The latter might be his father, but he never really knew the man. Recently, Lu Hongyong had been slowly revealing his true colors. All he cared about was Lu Heng’s inheritance. Worst of all, he even involved the children. It felt sad and funny at the same time.
‘I lied to Yujin in order to protect his innocence, but he already knew the truth.’
Song Ci could feel Lu Gan’s sadness. She kissed his cheek and said softly, “Hubby, you still have me, Yujin, Little Suo, and your friends. Remember what Yujin said? It’s not the Ugly Duckling’s fault. You’ll become the most beautiful swan imaginable.”
Lu Gan hugged Song Ci for a very long time. Then, he kissed the corner of her lips.
Song Ci immediately kissed him back.
Lu Gan could not help but laugh.
“I’m fine.”
Song Ci didn’t believe those words. Lu Gan looked like he was in great pain.
“Actually, I’m already mentally prepared. I just didn’t expect the children to find out. Knowing such a thing will ruin their childhood.”
“It’s all your father’s fault.”
Lu Gan just hugged Song Ci and stayed silent. The latter kept kissing him.
“Aren’t you tired from all the kissing?”
Lu Gan laughed.
Song Ci answered without any hesitation, “Not if it’s with you.”
Lu Gan held Song Ci’s hand.
“Don’t worry. I’m really fine. I’ve gotten over it.”
Lu Gan continued to blow dry Song Ci’s long hair.
That night, the two of them slept in each other’s arms.
The next morning, Song Ci accompanied Lu Gan to the hospital. It was time for his follow-up examination. Huang Hao also tagged along.
Lu Gan did not come out for a long time.
“Why are they taking so long today?”
Song Ci guessed, “Maybe they needed to carry out more examinations?”
Huang Hao was very anxious. He kept staring at the door.
After letting out a heavy sigh, Huang Hao began pacing back and forth.
“Did something happen? It’s been forever!”
‘He’s acting like his wife is giving birth.’
That thought made Song Ci laugh out loud. Somehow, Huang Hao’s anxiousness made her feel at ease.
Some time passed.
Lu Gan was finally pushed out of the examination room by a nurse.
Huang Hao immediately rushed over.
“Is everything okay?”
Song Ci added in her heart, ‘Is it a boy or girl?’
