Chapter 675: Chapter 674 I’m Going to Be a Mom!

Lu Zheng returned home from work at noon and was welcomed by Lin Xia, her face flushed with excitement as she stood at the doorway.

Gazing into his clear eyes, she seemed a mix of joy and anxiety with a hint of uncertainty.

"You’re back!"

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but smile and ask, "Wife! What’s the matter with you?"

Lin Xia’s appearance, so visibly happy yet seemingly incredibly nervous, was something he had never seen before, despite knowing her for so long.

He couldn’t help but feel a skip in his heart, unsure of what could have happened at home after he left.

Lin Xia tightly grasped his arm, biting her lip gently, and took a deep breath before saying, "I don’t know if it’s because... I felt nauseous when I was brushing my teeth, and then it occurred to me that I was a few days late..."

She said this and then glanced down at her stomach.

She knew how much Lu Zheng wanted a child, that his hidden longing was no less intense than hers.

But, she was really afraid it would turn out to be a false alarm in the end!

Lu Zheng looked at Lin Xia in surprise, then quickly lowered his gaze to her stomach.

His deep eyes instantly filled with anticipation, nervousness, and disbelief, he stared intently at Lin Xia, "Wife! I’m going to be a dad!"

His voice was full of excitement and ecstasy, even he hadn’t realized it himself.

Lin Xia didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head, her symptoms seemed right, but who could tell for sure?

"I’m not sure either! Why don’t you take the afternoon off and we go to town to check it out?" she felt it was safer to check than to get overly excited about a potential misunderstanding.

Lu Zheng excitedly hugged Lin Xia, tenderly kissing her temple, "No need to go to town! Let’s go to the clinic and have someone take a look first!"

As Lin Xia nodded, she suddenly remembered something, "Isn’t the doctor at the clinic Ye Lin’s cousin? I remember you mentioned it once!"

She hadn’t visited the clinic since moving here, and seldom went to the cafeteria, so she wasn’t sure if there had been staff changes.

"Don’t worry, she was transferred a while ago! The current one, Xiaogu, can take your pulse; he’ll know for sure after checking."

Lu Zheng did not want to tell Lin Xia about how Ye Lin’s cousin was transferred, preferring not to bring up the past.

Lin Xia finally felt relieved.

If it was Ye Lin’s cousin, she couldn’t explain why, but it felt odd.

"Wife! Sit down!"

Lin Xia was immediately treated like she was as precious as a giant panda; Lu Zheng, fearing any mishap, helped her to the sofa and made sure she was sitting comfortably.

Then, he crouched down and stared unwaveringly at Lin Xia’s stomach, as if marveling at a beautiful flower blooming there.

Lin Xia, bewildered by his actions, tapped his cheek, "We don’t even know for sure yet, why are you acting like this? Please stop, it’s making me nervous. What if it turns out to be nothing?"

Her feelings were a complicated mix of hope and doubt.

The possibility of something she had longed for finally happening made her apprehensive.

"Alright! I’ll stop!" Lu Zheng said with a laugh as he stood up and sat next to Lin Xia, his tone confident, "Wife! How could it not be? My efforts day and night must have paid off!"

Noticing Lin Xia’s anxiety, he quickly added, "But even if it’s not, no worries! We’ll keep trying!"

Lin Xia forced herself to remain calm, "Anyway, whether it’s true or not, we’ll know soon enough after seeing someone!"

"Right! Wife! Let’s have dinner, and then we’ll go!"

Lin Xia exclaimed, "Oh, I haven’t heated up the food yet!"

As she was about to get up, Lu Zheng quickly stopped her: "Wife! You sit! I’ll take care of it!"

Since there was already cooked food at home, Lin Xia did not argue with him.

The two of them had a simple meal, and naturally, all their conversation revolved around the child.

As work time was nearing, Lu Zheng took Lin Xia to the clinic.

The doctor at the clinic was a young man in his twenties.

The young man was energetic, wearing glasses. When they arrived, he was bent over writing something.

Seeing Lu Zheng arriving, he quickly stood up, "Lu’s here! Is this your wife? What’s wrong?"

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia exchanged glances, knowing that Lin Xia was shy, so he took the initiative to speak, "Xiaogu, could you see if your sister-in-law might be pregnant?"

"Sure! Sure!" The young man agreed enthusiastically.

During the pulse-checking, Lin Xia nervously watched his expressions, not missing a single subtle change.

She dearly hoped she was indeed pregnant, but at the same time, she was afraid of getting a negative answer.

Ever since she married Lu Zheng, the matter of having a child had never gone as hoped.

This time...

Xiaogu finally finished checking the pulse, smiling at the anxiously watching Lin Xia and Lu Zheng, "Lu! Sister-in-law! Congratulations, it’s a joyful pulse! But it’s still early!"

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng were instantly ecstatic!

If Xiaogu wasn’t there, Lu Zheng would definitely have excitedly lifted Lin Xia up and spun her around!

This was genuinely thrilling news!

After trying for so long, both of them had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby, no matter if it was a boy or a girl; this was the fruit of their love!

They didn’t expect it to actually happen today!

After thanking Xiaogu happily, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng walked out of the clinic, arm in arm.

Only then did Lu Zheng allow himself to pick Lin Xia up directly and kissed her cheek fiercely, "Wife! This is great! We’re finally going to have a child! I’m going to be a dad! I’m so happy!"

Lin Xia also passionately held his face and kissed him back, "Me too! I’m going to be a mom! I’m going to be a mom!" She was nearly crying from joy.

Her feelings at that moment were indescribable, a mixture of excitement, joy, and all sorts of inexplicable emotions.

On the way back, Lu Zheng, not caring about appearances, hugged Lin Xia and couldn’t stop grinning foolishly.

When they encountered acquaintances, he proudly told them if they asked.

Lin Xia had never seen him like this before, understanding that he was overjoyed, so she didn’t stop him.

Lu Zheng felt a myriad of emotions; he was going to be a father, something he had imagined countless times.

Understanding Lin Xia’s psychological burdens and pressure, he had never revealed his true thoughts in front of her.

He always pretended to be nonchalant, not keenly focused on, or anxious about, having children.

He wasn’t getting any younger, how could he not be anxious?

Seeing friends and classmates’ children able to help in the kitchen, he too felt anxious.

And there was pressure from his own family.

Yet, he had always endured and never mentioned it in front of Lin Xia.

Now that he knew they were finally going to have their own child, he could breathe a sigh of relief;

Otherwise, if it hadn’t happened even after many more years, he had even considered adopting...

Lin Xia felt as if she were walking on clouds, floating dreamily back to their apartment building.

As they were going upstairs, they ran into Yang Wanmeng coming downstairs.

Yang Wanmeng was wearing a man’s overcoat, which made her look bulky, her belly already showing. Perhaps due to the pregnancy, her complexion was yellowish and not looking well.

She curiously looked at Lu Zheng and Lin Xia, not understanding why their smiles were so brilliant...
