Ye Xiaomeng looked into his eyes and said very seriously, âIâm carrying our child.â
Her lips curled into a long arc.
Her gaze remained fixed on his face, wanting to see his reaction.
âWhat?â He Ming seemed to have heard âour childâ and couldnât believe his ears, so he asked again.
âYou heard me right. Yes, Iâm pregnant. Weâre having a baby,â Ye Xiaomeng said each word carefully.
This time, He Ming listened very attentively and clearly understood that Xiaomeng said they were having a baby.
In that moment, he realized, âAh!â and then lifted Ye Xiaomeng up, spinning her around.
âPut me down, Iâm dizzy,â Ye Xiaomeng called out.
âOh, right, Iâm just too excited, forgot about that. Are you okay?â He Ming asked nervously.
âIâm fine.â Ye Xiaomeng understood his excitement, remembering how she felt when she first found out.
âMengmeng, this is really wonderful. We finally have our little angel,â He Mingâs eyes seemed to shine, this was the best news he had ever heard.
Just yesterday, he was worried that Xiaomeng had come back to break up with him, but he never expected such joyous news.
He wanted to call everyone and announce that he was going to be a dad.
Fortunately, his rationality stopped him.
âIs it a boy or a girl?â He Ming asked, âIt would be best if itâs a lovely daughter.â
He Ming imagined a little girl, so adorable.
âYouâre silly, itâs not even two months yet. How could we possibly know?â Ye Xiaomeng looked at his current expression and thought he was being a bit silly.
She was really afraid this news would make him go silly.
âOh, right.â
âNo matter if itâs a boy or a girl, theyâre both our child, and Iâll love them equally as long as theyâre healthy,â Ye Xiaomengâs eyes were filled with maternal love.
âDefinitely, Iâll give her a hundred percent of my love,â He Mingâs expression was very tender.
âYeah, Iâm hungry. I feel like having noodles,â Ye Xiaomeng rubbed her belly. She tended to say whatever she fancied eating at the moment.
âIâll cook for you now, and tomorrow Iâll find a domestic helper to take care of you. That way, you wonât have to tire yourself out. You can just tell the helper what you want to eat,â He Ming thought about the importance of nutrition during pregnancy. Since his cooking skills were not great, it was better for Xiaomeng to cook less now that she was pregnant.
At that moment, he regained his understanding and started planning for the future.
âOkay, just hire a part-time helper then,â Ye Xiaomeng didnât like having strangers around the house frequently.
âSure, Iâll follow your lead.â Pregnant women call the shots.
âDarling, we need to register soon, or else our little one might end up undocumented,â He Ming felt that the timing of the babyâs arrival was perfect. âBaby, thank you so much.â
He had mentioned registering for marriage several times before, but Xiaomeng always found excuses to avoid it. Now, she couldnât avoid it any longer, right?
âYeah, thereâs still time. No rush. I have to tell my parents about this first, and you need to tell your mom too. I donât know how sheâll reactâ¦â Ye Xiaomeng was still worried that Mother He might not agree. After all, prejudices werenât something that could be easily let go of.
âMy mom will definitely be happy. This is her grandchild, something sheâs been looking forward to for a long time,â He Ming comforted her. He thought his mother would be very happy too.
He might be wrong this time. Previously, Mother He would probably have been very happy, but now with the perfect Yao Ning in the picture, things might not be as straightforward.
Womenâs thoughts were more delicate than menâs, and Ye Xiaomeng wasnât as optimistic as He Ming.
âLetâs talk to them first,â Ye Xiaomeng still cared a lot about the feelings of the elders. After all, a marriage without blessings wouldnât be happy.
