âWife, whatâs the good news you have for me?â âCould it be that you truly have a baby on the way?â
âAre you serious, or is this another one of your jokes?â
Although skeptical about his wifeâs pregnancy, Su Bin couldnât contain his excitement and fired off a series of questions.
Qin Zhenzhen shot him a disdainful look, questioning his comprehension. âDo you think I have time to play jokes with you?â
Stunned, Su Bin pressed further in surprise, âReally? Are you being serious? Youâre pregnant, and Iâm going to be a father?â
âDoes this mean we no longer have to pretend about being pregnant? Is it real?â
âWas your reaction just now genuine?â
Observing Su Binâs joy akin to that of a child, Qin Zhenzhen nodded with delight, momentarily forgetting the earlier episode.
This was their first child, a cause for genuine happiness.
âThis is fantastic! This is amazing!â Su Bin exclaimed, almost on the verge of jumping in joy. However, a sudden recollection of Qin Zhenzhenâs pale face, cold sweat, and uncomfortable vomiting sobered him.
His smile faded as he asked with concern, âWife, are you still feeling unwell?â Qin Zhenzhen shook her head gently. âIâve already had plenty of sour plums.â
Yet, she knew the discomfort was only beginning.
Su Binâs joy turned to worry. âWife, youâve been through a lot.â
Qin Zhenzhen nodded, âYes, carrying a child must be challenging, but knowing heâs our child makes it worthwhile.â
Su Bin gently embraced Qin Zhenzhen, expressing his gratitude, âThank you, wife! â
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled, âWhy so formal? Youâre acting as if this child belongs to you alone.â
Su Bin spoke earnestly, âWife, words canât convey what Iâm feeling right now.
When I saw you pretending to be pregnant, I thought it was an exaggeration.
Witnessing your pain firsthand, I now understand the difficulty of pregnancy.â
Qin Zhenzhen concurred, âIndeed, this is just the beginning.â
âBut donât worry. Iâm a skilled doctor. Iâll prepare the right foods to alleviate pregnancy symptoms.â
Su Bin inquired further, âWife, you havenât told me the whole story. Didnât you say we werenât in a rush to have a child? When did you stop the precautions?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Aware that his wife, being a skilled doctor, employed distinct measures, Su Bin was uncertain about the specifics but trusted their effectiveness.
Qin Zhenzhen then recounted the circumstances.
âI found pretending to be pregnant a bit tiresome, always having to be cautious about exposure. So, I thought, why not just get pregnant.â
Su Bin blamed himself, âItâs my fault for suggesting the fake pregnancy. I inadvertently disrupted our original plan.â
He reminisced about the liveliness of his wife before the pretense, free to do as she pleased. However, once she became âpregnant,â she grew cautious and resisted his touch.
Su Bin realized that having a child a year or two later wouldnât have mattered much. He regretted not considering this before proposing the fake pregnancy, now understanding the impact it had on their original plans.
Little did he anticipate that his wife would sacrifice the plan for the sake of a broader perspective.
Qin Zhenzhen smiled, âI did it willingly!â
She acknowledged that her perspective had shifted a bit after being intimate with Su Bin.
Initially, she hadnât planned on having a child so soon. Aware that parenthood brought additional responsibilities and ties, she was also influenced by her past-life mindset. The notion of having a child at the age of fifteen or sixteen seemed absurd to her..
