After asking, Shen Yi didn’t answer right away, and Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh first. Shen Yi had gotten home so quickly, indicating that he had rushed back non-stop since she told him.
There was no time for dinner!
Ye Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to sound calm, "Let’s have dinner first. After putting Zhouzhou to bed later, we can talk about other things."
Shen Yi’s face tensed for a moment. He felt that the way Ye Wanwan was speaking at this moment was revealing something.
After staring blankly at Ye Wanwan for two seconds, Shen Yi came to his senses and smiled, nodding in agreement, "Okay."
So the three of them went down to the restaurant, where Shen Yi ate alone while Ye Wanwan and Zhouzhou kept him company.
Shen Yi finished dinner quickly, and by then it was past nine o’clock. Afterward, he bathed Zhouzhou, told him stories, and coaxed him to sleep.
When everything was done and Shen Yi and Ye Wanwan returned to their bedroom, it was already past ten.
Sitting down at the edge of the bed, Shen Yi reached out and touched Ye Wanwan’s head, asking softly, "Do you feel nauseous or uncomfortable?"
Ye Wanwan shook her head. She didn’t feel any discomfort or nausea. What made her consider the possibility of being pregnant was because she had been feeling very tired recently and her period was delayed.
Ye Wanwan sat with her head bowed, not even having the courage to look at Shen Yi. She didn’t know what to say at that moment, what she could say.
Shen Yi was silent too, observing Ye Wanwan’s demeanor, his heart gradually sinking.
To say it didn’t upset him would be a lie. He indeed had stood with Ye Wanwan on the same front before; when she said she didn’t want a second child, he fully supported her decision.
But now that the baby was coming, the meaning was different; he knew exactly what it implied.
He was aware of what Ye Wanwan feared and he didn’t want her to feel such panic and fear.
Shen Yi took a deep breath and pulled Ye Wanwan into his arms, caressing the back of her head for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Wanwan, don’t be afraid. I said I would always stand by your side, and it’s okay even if you don’t want this child."
After speaking, Shen Yi clenched his teeth hard, afraid that he couldn’t control his emotions and that it would affect Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan didn’t say a word. Even now, she remained silent, but she couldn’t help but start crying when she heard Shen Yi’s words.
"Shen Yi, I don’t know, I don’t know what to do!"
"I had a nightmare this afternoon. I dreamt that Zhouzhou was angry. I had said before that as long as he knows about the child, it would only love him, but now I have another child, and Zhouzhou is angry!" Ye Wanwan cried as she spoke to Shen Yi.
"Wanwan, Zhouzhou won’t be angry. Didn’t he tell you before that he wanted a little sister? Have you forgotten?" Shen Yi held Ye Wanwan, gently soothing her emotions with his voice.
Ye Wanwan shook her head, her voice choked, "No, it’s not like that!"
"I’m scared, I’m really scared! What if I can’t treat the children equally after the baby is born, and he ends up hating me?"
"I hurt Zhouzhou in my past life, should I hurt another child for Zhouzhou’s sake in this life?"
"I can’t do that!" She was truly terrified!
