88 Bun in the Oven

"How could you suggest that at such a time?!" Midori was irritated.

"But we never used protection. From the way we're going, it wouldn't be a surprise if there's already a bun in the oven." Dan flashed his smile even brighter.

"No. These turnovers of jobs are too stressful. It would not be good to have a baby right now." She pushed his seductive face away and turned her back to him.

"If a baby is already on the way, will you abort it then?" He showed a worried expression why he caressed her lower abdomen.

She shot him a worried look. There was indeed a possibility. She had not had her period since the wedding. She really might be pregnant.

He smiled on seeing her expression. "Shall we reinforce it then?" He turned his smile into a provocative one and moved his eyebrows suggestively.

"Certainly not!" She moved her arms to protect her abdomen. "If there really is a bun in the oven, we cannot..."

He chuckled. "Of course we can. Even though I take pride on my...you know...it's not gonna reach the womb. The baby will be fine since it's swimming around." He tucked stray locks behind her ear.

Midori furrowed her brows. Even though they had done it several times, she sometimes still wondered how she can 'accommodate' such length and circumference when he gets a hard-on.

Then her thoughts went back to her possible pregnancy. The wedding made her so happy that she forgot all about it being a secret. If she goes back to City T soon, her mother will discover the pregnancy. She might get killed! 'Wait, wait, wait! Midori Xiu, don't jump into conclusions yet. There is no confirmed pregnancy yet. Right, right..." she contemplated then consoled herself in her mind.

Her expressions amused the smiling face just inches away from her. Dan did not dare interrupt her thoughts. He would not want to be the reason that she will make weird decisions if he breaks her thought chain.

As she nodded and pursed her lips while staring at the ceiling, he also noticed her fist slightly up, as if she was cheering for herself. She snapped back to her senses and noticed her antics.

She blushed as she realized that he was staring at her the whole time.

When she turned her head to look at him, he asked, "So, what did your angel and devil decide to do now?" His smile was teasing.

The following morning, Midori woke up finding the other side of the bed empty. As she reached for her phone at the bedside table, she grabbed hold of a thin rectangular box.

"One-step pregnancy test" was clearly printed on the box.

She chuckled. He was too excited to find out.

Last night, she told him that she will need to find out first if she is pregnant or not. Then they will figure out how to disclose it to important people as necessary. Abortion will not be an option. After all, they are married, so the child will be legitimate. Worse case would be that they needed to hide her and the child for some time for their safety.

She told him that she will get tested the next day, but it seems that CEO Zhou is too excited to become a father. 'Did he buy this himself?' she thought. Then she giggled. 'The great CEO Zhou bought a pregnancy test kit at the convenience store?"

As her thoughts flow, she frowned. 'Did he make Michelle buy this? If he did, she would really be pitiful. An unmarried girl buying this would have such a huge shame. I better go ask him!'

Midori's hand had reached the doorknob when she paused. Looking at the box in her hand, she decided to check her morning void urine. She went to the bathroom and shut the door.

She read the instructions twice, carefully eying each word. When she felt that she can interpret it correctly based on the pictured results on the box, she took a deep breath and began the test.

Dan was busy frying some bacon and eggs in the kitchen. The blueberry pancakes were already done and were on the plates. He had a smile on his face like an idi*t.

As he placed the rest of breakfast on the table, he saw his wife barefooted, jogging towards the dining area.

She was holding the test stick with an inexplicable expression on her face.

Dan furrowed his brows as she did not speak. He was impatient. "Well?"
