252 Holding hands like this (ending)
Leaning in his arms, Lin Li shook her head and only said, Iâm not uncomfortable.
Auntie already told me that you didnât eat much for dinner. A few days ago, he had felt nauseated when he saw her, but he couldnât leave the company during this period of time. However, he felt nauseated today. It seemed that he really needed to go to the hospital for a proper examination. He thought about it and said, No, Iâll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow morning.
Hehe. Lin Li, who was in his arms, chuckled.
Youâre still laughing. After letting go of her, Zhou han pinched her nose as a punishment and asked, Think about whether youâre hungry or not, what do you want to eat? Iâll make it for you.
Lin Li looked at him, her big eyes rolling around as she said, I really want to eat ramen.
He just assumed that she was hungry because she hadnât eaten at night. Zhou han didnât think much about it and rubbed her hair affectionately. He stood up and said, okay, Iâll cook for you.
Iâd like to add eggs, A certain someone was insatiable.
I know. After taking off his coat and rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, Zhou han walked straight to the kitchen.
In the room, Lin Li watched him go out and close the door. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She took the suit jacket he had taken off and hung it in the closet. The smile on her mouth never disappeared. She said to herself, Silly girl. As she spoke, she lowered her head and slowly placed her hand on her stomach.
Outside the room, the housekeeper saw Zhou han walking towards the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up. She thought he was hungry and wanted to find something to eat. She took the initiative to go forward and said, Do you want to have supper? Iâll make it for you. As she said that, she took the apron and was about to put it on.
Zhou han stopped her and said, Auntie, thereâs no need. You can go and rest. Iâll just cook something.
itâs okay, Iâll be quick. Iâll cook you a bowl of noodles. As he spoke, he swiftly took the pot from the gas stove and directly washed it under the tap.
Auntie, thereâs really no need. Lin Li wants to eat, so Iâll cook for her. He reached out to take the pot from her hands, put in the water, and turned on the fire.
Seeing his insistence, the housekeeper didnât say anything more. She just smiled and said,Then call me if you need anything. She left the kitchen after she finished speaking.
When Zhou han brought a simple but delicious bowl of egg noodles into the room, Lin Li was sitting on the bed thinking about something. There was a beautiful smile on her mouth and she was thinking very seriously. She didnât even notice Zhou han coming in with the noodles.
Putting the noodles aside, Zhou han waved his hand in front of her and asked, What are you thinking about? why are you so serious?
Lin Li came back to her senses and shook her head. She looked at him and suddenly asked, Zhou han, what do you think our children will be like in the future? Is it a boy or a girl?
Zhou han was stunned and didnât react in time. He asked, You want a child?
Lin Li asked, you donât want it?
Zhou han raised his eyebrows and said with a deeper meaning, Of course I want it! Be good and eat the noodles first. Weâll talk about the children after youâre done eating. As he spoke, he handed the bowl of noodles to Lin Li.
Lin Li reached out to take it, but her reaction was half a beat slow before she realized the meaning of his words. She was angry and amused at the same time, and she rolled her eyes at him and said, What nonsense are you talking about? Iâm not talking to you anymore. As he said that, he turned his head.
Zhou han also laughed. He stood up and said,Iâll go take a shower first.
Lin Li nodded. She was really hungry, so she took the bowl of noodles and ate slowly.
Zhou han added chopped green onions to the noodles. In fact, Lin Li usually liked to eat chopped green onions, but she couldnât stand the smell today. Her stomach was churning. Lin Li quickly put the noodles aside, lifted the quilt, and ran to the bathroom.
Lin Li!
Upon seeing this, Zhou han couldnât be bothered to look for clothes to take a bath and directly followed her into the bathroom. He saw Lin Li vomiting into the toilet bowl. As she didnât eat much for the entire night and had vomited several times during dinner, Lin Li didnât have anything to vomit even if she wanted to. All she could vomit out was water.
Lin Li, Qianqian. Zhou han gently stroked her back and frowned.Letâs go to the hospital! How could anyone stand vomiting like this!
Lin Li leaned towards Zhou han weakly and leaned into his arms. She panted slightly and said, No, Iâm fine.
No, Iâll take you to the hospital now. As he spoke, Zhou han carried Lin Li.
Ah! Lin Li exclaimed and wrapped her arms around Zhou Hanâs neck. Seeing that he didnât look like he was joking, Lin Li could only compromise, Iâm fine. Zhou han, let me down first. I have something to tell you.
Zhou han put her down and let her sit on the bed. He frowned slightly and asked anxiously, What did you want to tell me?
Lin Liâs mouth was still smiling. She reached out and pulled his big palm, saying, I might be pregnant.
Zhou han didnât think too much about it and asked in confusion, Whatâs there?
Lin Li poked him with her hand and laughed, You Dumbo.
Zhou han was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He looked at Lin Li with some uncertainty and asked tentatively, you mean youâre pregnant?
itâs just a suspicion. Iâm not sure yet, but it might really be there. My period is more than half a month late. Lin Li looked at him and said. She also thought that her nausea was because she had eaten something bad, but she had not even taken a few bites that night. When the housekeeper brought the steamed fish to her, she smelled the fishy smell and could not stand it. After vomiting, she lay on the bed to rest. It was only then that she remembered that her âgood friendâ had not come over half a month later. Then, she thought about the symptoms she had when she was pregnant. She felt that she might really be pregnant, because the symptoms now were the same as before.
Zhou han stared at her for a while, then suddenly stood up and pulled her hand to walk out.
Lin Li was stunned. She didnât know what he wanted to do, so she quickly asked, Zhou han, where are you taking me?
To the hospital. Zhou han said. His voice was a little tense, and the hand that was holding Lin Liâs hand was a little too hard.
Only then did Lin Li notice that he might have been overly nervous. She stopped and pulled him over, looked into his eyes, and said, Zhou han, itâs too late. The doctors have all knocked off. She reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead and said, Donât be nervous, itâll be fine. Weâll go over tomorrow morning.
Zhou han looked at her and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly pulled her away, turned around, and ran outside.
Zhou han! Lin Li shouted at him, where are you going?!
Zhou han didnât look back and ran out directly.
After a while, the sound of a car starting up could be heard in the courtyard.
Standing at the door, Lin Li muttered in a low voice, Donât tell me heâs scared silly.
Lin Li didnât know where he went in such a hurry, so she could only pour herself a glass of water and wait for him in the room.
When Zhou han came back, it was already half an hour later. He came in with a plastic bag.
What did you buy? Lin Li stared at the plastic bag he was carrying in confusion.
Zhou han didnât say anything. He directly placed the things in the plastic bag on the bed and poured them out. They were all pregnancy test kits and pregnancy tests of various brands. There were at least ten types.
God, why did you buy so many? Looking at the various types of pregnancy test kits on the bed, Lin Li really felt that it was ridiculous.
Zhou han casually grabbed a few Pregnancy Test Strips and handed them to Lin Li. Seeing that he had dropped the Pregnancy Test Strips, he picked up a few from the bed and stuffed them into Lin Liâs hands. He said, Go, go test it. He couldnât tell what he was feeling right now. He only knew that his heart was beating very fast, so fast that it was almost about to jump out.
Lin Li looked at the standard pregnancy test tools in her hands and then looked at Zhou Hanâs serious and serious expression. She knew that if she didnât test these tonight, Zhou han would definitely not give up. She had no choice but to compromise and went into the bathroom with the writing.
Zhou han stood at the door of the bathroom, feeling inexplicably anxious. A few short minutes was more difficult to endure than a few hours.
Not knowing how long had passed, the bathroom door finally opened slowly. Lin Li came out from inside, and Zhou han almost grabbed her and asked, How is it, are you really pregnant?
Lin Li looked at him. eight, she said. two of them didnât respond. Six of them all had two red lines.
Zhou han also stared at her, and his grip on her shoulder tightened. He asked, So youâre really pregnant, right?
Lin Li nodded heavily. I got it. She couldnât tell what she was feeling at this moment, but looking at Zhou han, she felt like crying. She thought that this kind of emotion should be gratitude. There was a new life in her stomach. She didnât protect that fragile life well the last time. This time, she would definitely cherish it.
Zhou han didnât say anything for a while and just stared at her.
Lin Li looked at him and couldnât help but be suspicious. She asked tentatively, you, you donât want children? She had never thought about whether Zhou han wanted children or not. If he didnât want children, what should she do?
Before Lin Li could figure it out, she was suddenly pulled into a strong chest. His arms wrapped around her tightly, and a slightly hoarse voice rang in her ear, we really have a child? His tone was filled with uncertainty and doubt.
Lin Li could feel the warm breath on her neck, and ... And what seemed to be a drop of cold liquid with some residual warmth sliding down her neck, wetting her skin.
She no longer had any doubts and no longer had any uncertainties. At this moment, she was sure that Zhou han was happy and excited like her. She reached out and slowly lifted her arms to hug him. She nodded and said, Itâs true. We really have a child.
Hahaha. Zhou han laughed heartily and heroically. He let go of her, then picked her up by the waist again. He spun around happily on the spot and laughed as he said loudly, We have a child, we have a child, Yingluo!
ah! Lin Li screamed and patted his shoulder. Zhou han, youâre crazy! Quickly put me down Yingying!
Father Zhou and mother Zhou, who had already fallen asleep, were also woken up by the movements in their rooms. They put on their pajamas and coats and came out of their rooms. When they came to their room door, they heard laughter and shouts from inside, but they didnât know what was going on inside.
The two of them looked at each other. Mother Zhou knocked on the door and shouted, ah han, ah han, what are you guys doing inside!
Zhou han, open the door! Father Zhou also said in a deep voice.
Only then did the two people inside realize that their overexcitement had alarmed the other people in the room.
Inside the house, Lin Li stuck out her tongue at him playfully and patted his shoulder. put me down, quick.
When he opened the door again, he saw father Zhou and mother Zhou standing at the door. The little guy behind them even ran out in his pajamas.
Whatâs wrong? What are you two shouting about in your room so late at night? Mother Zhou asked.
Dad, mom, Lin Li and I have something to tell you. Zhou han looked at his parents and his excitement had calmed down a lot.
As if she could see that something was wrong with them, the two looked at each other. Mother Zhou asked, Whatâs the matter?
Lin Li is pregnant. Zhou han said, his hand holding Lin Liâs hand tightly. His usually cold face was now smiling.
Perhaps this was too sudden, but when mother Zhou and father Zhou first heard Zhou Hanâs words, they still couldnât react. They just looked at Lin Li and Zhou han in a daze.
However, the little guy behind them was the first to react. He squeezed over from behind and asked with his big black eyes, Auntie, do you have a little brother?
Lin Li squatted down and touched the little guyâs head, saying, Yeah, Xiao bin will be big brother from now on. Are you happy?
The little guy looked at her without saying a word.
At this time, father Zhou and mother Zhou also regained their senses. Mother Zhou grabbed Lin Liâs hand excitedly and asked, Really? Is it true, Lin Li? It was too sudden, he wanted to rush them before, Xiao bin was too lonely, he didnât expect to be pregnant now!
Lin Li nodded. I just tested it with a test paper. Itâs positive. But I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to confirm it.
of course, of course. Iâll get Zhou han to accompany you to the hospital tomorrow morning for a proper examination. As mother Zhou spoke, she turned her head to look at Zhou han. Zhou han, donât go to the company tomorrow. Accompany Lin Li to the hospital for a proper examination.
Zhou han nodded. yeah. If he could, he wanted to take Lin Li to check it out right now.
Aiyo, thatâs great. Donât you agree, old Zhou? Mother Zhou turned to look at father Zhou. this is really a great thing. We donât have to worry about our Xiao bin being alone in the future. He squatted down and looked at Xiao bin, Xiao bin, now that your aunt Lin Li has a baby, youâll be the older brother. With little brothers and Little Sisters to play with you, itâs just like in kindergarten. Are you happy?
The little guy lowered his head and did not say anything.
The originally happy atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Mother Zhou looked at father Zhou, then looked at Lin Li and Zhou han.
Only then did Lin Li remember the worry and fear the little guy had shown when they were talking about children. He said that he was afraid that everyone would not like him after having a little brother and would not want him anymore.
Auntie. The little guy slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Li.
Yes, Auntie is here. Lin Li squatted down and looked into his eyes. whatâs wrong, Xiaobin?
With a little brother, will Auntie not want Xiao bin? She asked, her dark eyes still glistening with tears. She looked very heartbroken.
Silly girl. Lin Li smiled and touched his head. She pulled him into her arms and said, Why would Auntie not want Xiao bin? Xiao bin is so obedient. Auntie canât wait to dote on Xiao bin.
But Auntie already has a little brother. Once she had a little brother, she would not care about him anymore. Just like her mother, once she had a new boyfriend, she would not want him and her father anymore.
Xiao bin, does Auntie not treat you well? doesnât she dote on you?
I didnât. Seeing that she had misunderstood him, the little guy hurriedly pushed her out of her arms and explained, Auntie is very good to Xiao bin, the best person in the world!
Lin Li chuckled and looked at him, so, what are you worried about, Xiaobin? even if you have a little brother, Auntie will still be very good to you, just like before. When the little brother grows up, there will be one more person who will be good to you. Isnât that good?
The little guy looked into her eyes. really?
Of course itâs true! Lin Li said with certainty, if you donât believe me, you can ask Grandpa, grandma, and dad.
Upon seeing this, mother Zhou quickly continued, itâs true, itâs true. We all dote on Xiao bin as much as before.
Father Zhou and Zhou han also nodded.
Seeing that they all said so, the little guy finally smiled through his tears. He looked at Lin Li and said, Auntie, Iâll sleep with you tonight, okay?
Alright. Lin Li agreed immediately.
Hearing this, Zhou han, who was standing by the side, couldnât help but frown. His originally faint smile became much colder.
Lin Li didnât pay attention. She only held the little guyâs hand and said to mother Zhou, Mom, Xiao bin will sleep with us tonight.
Mother Zhou nodded with a smile. Since her grandson had taken the initiative to mention it, she had no other opinions.
Good night, Grandpa. Good night, grandma. The little guy said politely and pulled Lin Li to the bed.
Mother Zhou smiled and told Zhou han to take good care of Lin Li. Then, she turned around and went back to her room with father Zhou.
When Zhou han closed the door and turned around, his bed had been taken over by another âmanâ. His wife was also being held by thatâ manâ. Even his childâs first intimate contact had been taken away by that âmanâ!
On the bed, Xiao binâs ear was pressed against Lin Liâs stomach, as if he wanted to hear what his little brother was doing in her stomach. He asked, Auntie, why is there no sound? isnât little brother inside? As she spoke, she pressed her little head against Lin Liâs stomach again.
Lin Li laughed and touched his head, saying, Maybe little brother is asleep. The smile on his face was filled with satisfaction and happiness.
The little guy raised his head and looked at the window. He nodded and said, Yes, little brother needs to sleep at night.
yes, itâs already so late. Little brother should have fallen asleep long ago. Lin Li looked at him and asked with a smile, then, Xiao bin, do you want to sleep? youâre the older brother, so you have to be a role model for your younger brother.
Upon hearing Lin Liâs words, the little guy quickly nodded and said, then Iâm going to sleep too. Iâm the older brother, so I have to be a role model for my younger brother! As she spoke, she immediately lay down and obediently closed her eyes.
Lin Li looked at his cute appearance and couldnât help but make him laugh. She liked this Xiao bin. He had the innocence, curiosity, and happiness of a child his age. She liked this side of him.
With his eyes closed, the little guy did not forget to say, Auntie, Iâm going to sleep. Help me say good night to little brother.
Okay, Auntie will tell little brother. Lin Li agreed and patted his head to cover him with the blanket.
She turned around and saw Zhou han still standing at the door, frowning as he stared at the little one on the bed.
Looking at his awkward expression, Lin Li couldnât help but laugh and said, Why are you still standing there? didnât you want to take a shower?
Zhou han stared at the little person who had taken everything from him for a while. In the end, he felt bored and went to take his clothes and enter the bathroom.
When Zhou han came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Lin Li patted the little guy lightly and was about to fall asleep.
Holding the towel and grabbing his hair, Zhou han walked to the other side of the bed and then turned back to stand beside Lin Li.
Lin Li was also feeling sleepy. She yawned delicately and asked, Whatâs wrong?
Zhou han looked at the little guy who was lying in the middle and asked, Does he have to lie in the middle? He just wanted to hug his wife and have a good nightâs sleep after coming back from work, but what was going on now? Furthermore, Lin Li was pregnant today. He wanted to hug her to sleep even more!
Okay, just sleep like this. When you get on the bed, move a little, donât wake up Xiao bin. She yawned again as she spoke. She was really tired after the night.
Iâll sleep later. Seeing that her eyelids were so heavy that she could not lift them, Zhou han quickly said, Lie down first.
Whatâs wrong? Lin Li looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do, but she still listened to him and lay flat.
Seeing that she was lying flat, Zhou han lifted the blanket and went down. He put half of his face and ears on Lin Liâs stomach and said softly, Let me hear the child.
Lin Li laughed and grabbed his head, saying, Why are you acting like a child? youâre still so young, how can you hear me? As she spoke, her slender fingers ran through his hair. His hair was not completely dry yet, and it was slightly moist.
Even though he couldnât hear anything, Zhou han still stubbornly pressed his face against her stomach and listened for a while. He even raised his head and kissed Lin Liâs stomach through her clothes.
As he stood up, Lin Li asked with a smile, Did you hear that?
Of course I do. Zhou han said it in all seriousness, then he pulled the blanket over her.
May I ask what he said to you? Lin Li asked him with her head tilted.
Zhou han half-squatted and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. He said, he said that this is a secret between him and dad, and he wonât tell anyone.
Nonsense. Lin Li smiled, and the smile on her face was as happy as a flower blooming.
Zhou han also laughed. Then, he looked at the little guy who appeared out of thin air on the bed. He pondered for a while and said, I have to find a time to have a good talk with this kid.
Talk about what? Lin Li asked curiously.
Heâs already such a big child, yet he still wants to sleep with someone else. What kind of behavior is this! Zhou han said with a serious face as if it was a serious matter.
Lin Li patted him. when did you become so boring? she said. youâre getting jealous of a child. She hoped that Xiao bin would grow up to be like this in the future. Only then would he be like a normal child and not like before, where he didnât speak and just played with himself.
Heâs violating my rights, Zhou han looked serious.
Lin Li didnât argue with him. She reached out and pushed him, saying, Alright, go to sleep.
Zhou han didnât leave and just stared at her.
What are you doing?
Looking into her eyes, Zhou han said, Kiss me.
Lin Li rolled her eyes at him. the kids are here. If Xiao bin saw her kissing Zhou han, she would be so embarrassed! She didnât want to.
If you donât want to kiss me, then Iâll kiss you. As he spoke, Zhou han leaned over and was about to kiss Lin Liâs mouth.
Lin Li quickly pushed him away and compromised, Iâll just kiss you. If he were to kiss her, who knew what would happen?
Upon hearing that, Zhou han half-squatted by the bed again, looked at Lin Li, and said, Come on.
Lin Li didnât know whether to laugh or cry. She could only lean forward and quickly Peck him on the lips. Then, she immediately retreated. Alright, alright. Go to sleep.
Zhou han laughed and shook his head. He didnât make things difficult for her anymore. He got up and went around the other side of the bed. His actions were just as Lin Li said, very careful.
The next morning, Zhou han was awoken by someoneâs kick. He frowned and opened his eyes, only to see the face in front of him that was in a daze from sleep. It had the innocence and cuteness unique to a child.
Being sandwiched between two adults, in addition to the fact that Zhou Hanâs previous single bed was not big to begin with, it was difficult for him to turn over when he was sandwiched in the middle. In a daze, he felt as if he had kicked something, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
daddy Yingluo, he subconsciously called out softly. The little guyâs head was still a little dazed.
Zhou han looked at him, feeling angry and amused at the same time. However, this was the first time he looked at the little guy so closely. Only then did he realize that there was a birthmark on the top of the little guyâs forehead. It wasnât easy to notice it when it was usually covered by his hair, but now that he was asleep, it was exposed when his hair was raised.
The dazed little guy seemed to have regained his senses. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou han who was lying next to him. He was a little surprised and even a little frightened. The expression on his little face became rich.
Dad, dad Yingluo
Yes. Zhou han replied softly.
The little guy didnât seem to be used to lying with Zhou han like this, so he twisted his body and wanted to get up.
Donât move, Under the blanket, Zhou han held his hand and said in a low voice, Donât wake your Auntie up.
The little guy didnât dare to move or even breathe. He only nodded to show that he understood.
Knowing that he was uncomfortable, Zhou han gently pulled the blanket away and got off the bed. When he took his clothes, he couldnât help but turn to look at him and said softly, if youâre tired, sleep for a while more.
The little guy nodded and did not say anything.
By the time Lin Li woke up again, the two men beside her had already left. They went out after washing up.
When she went to the living room, everyone had already woken up. Mother Zhou and the housekeeper were bringing out the breakfast that they had prepared from the kitchen.
Lin Li wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by mother Zhou. She said that she was pregnant now and couldnât move around, or it would upset the fetus.
Lin Li didnât know whether to laugh or cry. She helped to take out the bowls and chopsticks. What could it do to the fetus?
Zhou han went up to pull her over and said in her ear, mom was nervous. She was so happy that she didnât sleep well the whole night. She got up early in the morning to make breakfast.
After breakfast, mother Zhou urged Zhou han to take Lin Li to the hospital for a check-up. She said that she had already called her friend who used to work in the hospital. Even if she wasnât in the hospital now, there were still acquaintances around. She said that everything had been arranged and that she would give Lin Li a check-up when she arrived.
She was half-pushed out of the door by mother Zhou. Not long after she got into the car, Anranâs phone call came in.
As soon as the phone was picked up, before Lin Li could say anything, Anran anxiously asked, Hey, Lin Li, youâre pregnant?
How did you know? Lin Li was a little surprised. She had only suspected and guessed about her pregnancy yesterday until it was confirmed. She didnât remember calling Anran to tell her about this!
Iâm at the quad. This morning, your mother-in-law called my mother-in-law and asked her if she knew anyone in the gynecology department. My mother-in-law asked and found out that you were pregnant. She knew that we were good friends and told me about it when we were having dinner. Anran explained, are you really pregnant? Where are you now? Iâll go and see you. On the other end of the phone, an ran was very excited.
Iâm not sure yet. Heâs on the way to the hospital now, but the test last night was positive.
Iâll go find you, Iâll go find you.
what are you looking for? youâre a pregnant woman, so you should just stay at home and run around. Do you want your leader to worry to death? Lin Li said jokingly.
Then call me after youâre done.
I know. Youâre the first one Iâll call. Lin Li nodded in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Li turned her head to look at Zhou han. She suddenly had a very unreal feeling.
Seeing that she had suddenly quieted down, Zhou han asked, Whatâs wrong?
Lin Li looked at him and said, I suddenly feel so unreal. It feels like Iâm dreaming. Everything happened too quickly, too blissfully, so quickly that it made her feel a little uneasy.
Silly girl. Zhou han looked at the road ahead seriously and said, see if Iâm real or not. If Iâm not, pinch me.
Lin Li chuckled and leaned back, looking at him with her head tilted. She was still a little uneasy and said, Zhou han, do you think Iâm really pregnant? do you think those pregnancy test papers and sticks are bad? She was worried for no reason, but what if the results showed that she wasnât pregnant? Wasnât there a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?
Zhou han looked at her and saw her nervousness and uneasiness. He freed his hand to hold her hand and said, I wonât.
Then what if you really arenât pregnant? Lin Li was still uneasy, especially the closer she got to the hospital, the stronger this feeling became.
Then weâll go back and work harder! As Zhou han spoke, he grabbed her hand and kissed it.
Lingtong understood the meaning behind his words, and he blushed as he rolled his eyes at him. Big pervert, youâre not serious. However, after hearing what he said, her heart unconsciously relaxed a little.
Su Yuâs mother had indeed arranged for a doctor to take them to the hospital for a series of examinations.
When the report came out, it was already an hour later. Lin Li was indeed pregnant for eight weeks, and her expected date of delivery was September this year.
When she heard the doctor say that she was indeed pregnant, Lin Liâs nervous mood all morning was finally put down. She turned around and hugged Zhou han, saying a little excitedly, Itâs true, itâs true. We really have a child. Heâs in our stomachs.
Zhou han hugged her back tightly and nodded. yeah, itâs true.
The doctor Who carried out Lin Liâs check-up was also happy for them. He reminded them of the things they had to pay attention to and also reminded them that they had to come to the hospital for a check-up after thirteen weeks.
When she came out of the hospital, Lin Li was much more relaxed. She didnât forget what she had promised Anran in the car. As soon as she left the office, she immediately called Anran and told her that she was really pregnant. Anran on the other side of the phone seemed to be even more excited than she was, and she even said that she wanted to arrange an engagement between the children of the two families.
After hanging up the phone, she called mother Zhou. Who knew that mother Zhou had already known about it. She said that she would call her as soon as the doctorâs report came out. Now, she was preparing lunch at home and said that she wanted to celebrate at noon.
Finally, she returned to the car. Lin Li thought for a while and called her father and mother Lin in her hometown.
It was father Lin who picked up the call. When he heard that it was her, he quickly asked if it was cold in Jiangcheng and if he had worn more clothes.
The kind of warmth in her heart was self-evident. Holding the phone, Lin Li honestly answered all the questions one by one.
Finally, father Lin said everything he wanted to say, then he asked, By the way, did something happen?
Dad, come to Jiang city with mom for the new year today. He had come over to celebrate the new year with her. The two families were very lively, unlike in the past when the three of them were always alone without any New Yearâs atmosphere.
no need, no need. Your mother and I are doing well here. This year, you and Zhou Hanâs family can have a good time. Come back after the new year to visit your mother and me.
Dad, come over when the time comes. Itâs good for mom to make good food for me. Lin Li said coyly.
Mother Lin took over the phone and laughed, You little girl, youâre already married and youâre still pestering your mother to cook for you.
Lin Li stuck out her tongue playfully as she held the phone and said, Mom, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Iâll have a chat with Zhou han. As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhou han and reached out to hold his hand.I have a child with Zhou han.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then she heard mother Zhou raise her voice and ask, what did you say? what did you do? what did you do with Zhou han?!
Lin Liâs ears hurt from mother Linâs voice, and she couldnât help but move further away.
Zhou han took the phone and said, Mom, Iâm Zhou han.
Zhou han. Mother Lin asked anxiously, Zhou han, what did Xiao Li say just now? she said that you guys have a child?
yes, we have a child. He just came out of the hospital. The doctor said itâs been eight weeks and the expected date of delivery is September this year. Zhou han said.
Thatâs great, thatâs really great. Then, mother Lin quickly said to father Lin, old Lin, old Lin, Zhou han said that Xiaoli is pregnant. We are going to be grandparents.
Zhou han could hear the excited and happy voices of the two elders. He turned his head to look at Lin Li and held her hand tightly.
mom, come to Jiangcheng for the new year this year. Lin Li misses you guys a lot. We donât have many relatives, and Iâm the only child in our family. Itâs cold and quiet every year. Lin Li and I are married this year. The two families can celebrate the new year together. Itâll be lively when the time comes.
On the other end of the phone, mother Lin agreed. okay, now that Lin Li is pregnant, I have to go and take a look. Otherwise, with her muddled personality, she wonât be able to take care of herself, let alone the child.
Hearing that her mother had agreed to come over, Lin Li quickly reached out and snatched the phone from Zhou Hanâs hand. Then, she pulled her mother and talked for a while before hanging up the phone.
After putting her phone back into her bag, Lin Li looked up at Zhou han and stared into his eyes. She asked, Zhou han, all of this is real, right?
Zhou han didnât say anything. He reached out and pulled her over, then lowered his head and covered her mouth with his lips.
After a while, when Lin Li was breathless from his kiss, Zhou han finally let go of her. He pressed his head against her forehead and asked, Is it real?
Lin Li panted, her chest heaving up and down. She couldnât speak for a moment and could only nod.
Zhou han chuckled and kissed her face carefully before letting her go and starting the car.
Ever since Lin Li got pregnant, Zhou han stopped letting her go to the company as he was worried that no one would take care of her. Under mother Zhouâs insistence, Lin Li brought her back to the mechanical courtyard. Of course, Xiao bin and Zhou han were forced to move back as well. For this reason, mother Zhou specially renovated a few rooms and connected Zhou Hanâs original room with the room next to his. Then, she bought a new big bed so that Lin Li could live more comfortably.
In the beginning, Lin Li vomited a lot during her pregnancy, and she was already very thin. When she ate less and vomited more, she looked even skinnier. Worried that Lin Liâs body wouldnât be able to take it, mother Zhou specially consulted Anranâs mother-in-law and made Lin Li eat in different ways every day. As a result, Lin Liâs vomiting gradually passed, and she still fed Lin Li four to five meals a day. However, the effect was really obvious. After eating like this, Lin Liâs entire body was much more plump than before. Of course, according to the standard weight, she was still far from it.
Zhou han was busy playing as usual, but no matter how late he was, Lin Li was still here, so he had to come over every day to take a look. Of course, Lin Li and Zhou han had both returned to the courtyard, and Zhou Jiabin naturally followed them back to the courtyard. When mother Zhou changed the room, she had already been careful to clear out the childâs small room. However, the most troublesome thing was the problem of the little guy going to school. It was not convenient for Lin Li to send the child to school now, and the courtyard was quite far from the city. The kindergarten school bus usually didnât drive here. After a few people discussed it, they finally decided to let Zhou han send the child to school before going to work every morning. At night, after school, Lin Li and mother Zhou would go to pick up the child together.
Although it was a little troublesome to pick him up like this, there was one good thing about it. The little guyâs relationship with Zhou han was slowly getting better. Not to mention that other children would act coquettishly like their fathers, Zhou han had been sending him to school every morning for nearly a month. At the very least, the little guy would not be as afraid when he saw Zhou han as before. He would also speak a little louder.
Father Lin and mother Lin came to Jiangcheng half a month before the new year. Coincidentally, the little guyâs holiday started on that day. To celebrate, mother Zhou bought a lot of ingredients. Mother Lin couldnât stay idle either. The two of them and the Auntie busied themselves in the kitchen for a long time and made a large table of food.
There were still empty rooms in the house, so father Lin and mother Lin didnât look for another place to stay. They also lived in the courtyard directly. The two mothers surrounded Lin Li and busied themselves. Every day, they changed ways to make nutritious food, and Lin Li only felt that she had gained a lot of weight. One time, she called Anran and complained that it wasnât that she couldnât get fat from eating. She could feel that she had gained a bit of weight with every bite, which scared her so much that she almost didnât dare to eat anymore. However, her words were all choked back by Anran, because Anran was pregnant with twins, and she was almost eight months pregnant now. She looked exactly like that Fat Penguin.
This year, the two families had a particularly Happy New Year together. Mother Lin and father Lin went back after celebrating the Lantern Festival in Jiangcheng. They said that they would come back a month before Lin Liâs next birth. Now, they were going to go back and knit some beautiful clothes and hats for her future nephew so that he could wear them when his baby came out.
In April, the two babies in Anranâs stomach were born, but they were far from what su Yicheng had expected. The ones who came out werenât his two little lovers from his previous life, but Anranâs two little enemies. He heard Anran say that because both of them were sons, a certain leader su was depressed for several days because of this. He couldnât figure out why the two little lovers didnât even have a daughter! She and Zhou han had gone to see the children before. They looked like children, and their Small Faces were wrinkled and had not yet grown up. However, children were like this, especially newborn children. They really looked different every day. After seeing them that day, a few days later, Anran took a photo with her phone and sent it over. The two little guys were completely different from what she had seen before. They were white and tender, and their eyes were wide open as they smiled. They looked especially cute.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In Zhou Hanâs office, Lin Li showed Zhou han the photos she had just received and asked, Do you think our baby will be as cute as them in the future?
Zhou han put down the document in his hand and took the phone to look at it. After a long time, he shook his head and said, I wonât,
Why? Do you think our baby isnât cute? Lin Li glared at him. As she spoke, she raised her hand and pretended to pinch him.
Zhou han pulled her over and let her sit on his lap. Her four-month-old stomach already had an obvious bulge. He placed his hand on her stomach and caressed it back and forth. Zhou han kissed her face and said, Our baby will only be cuter than them.
Lin Li looked at him and reached out to pinch his nose. She smiled and said, Youâre so sneaky, but I agree. Our baby will be the cutest.
Just as Zhou han and Lin Li were having fun in the office, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Assistant Xu barged in with a document in his hand. Just as he was about to look up and say something, he looked up and saw Lin Li sitting on Zhou Hanâs lap behind the desk and leaning into Zhou Hanâs arms. Zhou han was staring at him with a serious expression.
She cursed herself for not knocking on the door before pushing it in. I suddenly remembered that I have an important call to make. Yes, a very important call! She smiled awkwardly as she prepared to leave the room.
Assistant Xu, I remember that the âYujing gardenâ project still needs an on-site supervisor. Zhou han said in a neutral tone.
Special Assistant Xu groaned in his heart. He turned around like a deflated ball. boss, youâre not playing with me, are you?
Do you think Iâm joking? Zhou han looked at him with a faint smile.
Special Assistant Xu made his final struggle. Secretary Lin, help me out. I didnât know you were inside. If I had known, I wouldnât have dared to disturb you! Supervising was physical work!
Lin Li looked at him and thought for a while. She said apologetically, Special Assistant Xu, why donât you go and supervise the work, in case you go out to the office and spout nonsense again.
Special Assistant Xuâs lips twitched, but he could not say anything else.
The two people in the room couldnât help but laugh as they watched him leave with his head lowered.
After laughing, Zhou han raised his hand and looked at his watch. He tidied up the documents and materials on the table, then took Lin Liâs hand and went down.
Today was the day of Lin Liâs prenatal examination. Zhou han didnât encounter the first prenatal examination because he was on a business trip. This time, Zhou han insisted on accompanying Lin Li personally.
In the office, the doctor looked at the information from the prenatal examination and nodded. Then, he signed his name on it and said, Donât worry, everything is normal. Just keep it up.
is there anything else I need to pay attention to? Zhou han asked.
during pregnancy, you can take in some calcium. Itâs good for the development of the childâs bones. As for the rest, you just have to maintain your original appearance. As he spoke, he handed the signed documents back to Lin Li.
The two of them thanked the doctor and left the office. Zhou han held her hand and asked, Where do you want to go? I wonât be going back to the company in the afternoon. If thereâs anywhere you want to go, Iâll take you.
Really? Iâll have to think about it. Lin Li rolled her eyes and thought seriously.
Alright, let me know when youâve thought about it. Zhou han held her hand and walked towards the elevator.
When the two of them took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, they coincidentally met Chengxiang, who had returned to the hospital for a follow-up.
He looked much better than when he was in the hospital. With his amputated right leg and a prosthetic, he looked no different from an ordinary person.
After a moment of shock, Lin Li took the initiative to speak and said with a smile, Long time no see, what a coincidence.
Chengxiang also laughed and nodded in a daze. yeah, long time no see.
Lin Li, Iâll wait for you over there. Zhou han walked away to give them some time and space to be alone.
Chengxiang stared at her stomach and was dazed for a moment. He muttered,How many months has it been?
Lin Li reached out and touched her stomach, then said with a faint smile, Itâs been more than four months,
Chengxiang nodded and remained silent for a while. He turned around and looked at Zhou han, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the door. He asked Lin Li, Did he treat you well?
Yes. Lin Li nodded, and the smile on her face was satisfied. heâs very good to me.
Thatâs good. She murmured softly and looked up at Lin Li again. She only said indifferently, Go, donât let him wait for you.
Lin Li nodded and walked past him. Then, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Chengxiang, you will find your own happiness.
Chengxiang smiled and accepted her well wishes. thank you.
Lin Li didnât say anything more and turned her head to Zhou han.
Chengxiang watched them leave, and only retracted his gaze after a long time. When he turned around and was about to continue arguing, a girl appeared beside him and asked, Is that girl the one you really like?
He looked at her and said,she is the person I love the most in my life. I will not love anyone else other than her. After saying that, he walked straight to the elevator. After all, they were artificial limbs, so they were not very flexible when walking. Their every step was obvious.
The girl said to Chengxiangâs back, I wonât give up. Iâll make you fall in love with me in her place!
Cheng Xiang paused. 11 years ago, there was a girl who said the same thing to him.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Li still couldnât think of any special place to go. In the end, she decided to drag Zhou han to go shopping together. Actually, strictly speaking, the two of them had been married for so long, but Zhou han didnât seem to have accompanied her to go shopping.
Zhou han suddenly stopped in front of a wedding dress shop.
Whatâs wrong? Lin Li asked, puzzled.
Zhou han pulled her over and hugged her from behind. He whispered in her ear, Lin Li, letâs make up the wedding.
Oh? Lin Li was stunned and asked, you suddenly thought of this?
I always felt that there was something missing between us. After thinking about it, I finally realized that we were missing a wedding.
Lin Li smiled and shook her head. No, the thing weâre missing isnât a wedding. As he spoke, he pulled the hand that was wrapped around him and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Itâs not a wedding? Zhou han looked at him in confusion.
Lin Li raised their hands and shook them, saying, itâs a ring. Tell me, when do you plan to pay me back for the ring you owe me?
Only then did Zhou han come to a realization. He pulled her hand to his mouth and stole a kiss, saying, Letâs go. Before I accompany you to the mall, letâs go and get your ring fixed.
Lin Li chuckled and allowed him to pull her towards the jewelry store in front. Actually, it didnât matter what she owed. It didnât matter whether she made up for the wedding or not. As long as the two of them could continue holding hands like this, this would be the best ending. Because he had already made up for the missing piece of her heart, this was the best
