Chapter 158: Extras: Pregnancy Part 01

Chapter 158

This year, North City was more lively than usual. Not only were Xiao Chen and Yu Na here, but Qiao Rui also brought Xu Yi to North City to play on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

The two of them had made rapid progress in their relationship. They had just started their freshman year of college, and after falling in love, they quickly met each other's parents during the winter break.

Xu Yi's parents had already agreed, and Qiao Rui's parents didn't even need to say anything. His family had never interfered with their children's choices.

The relationship was thus settled down smoothly.

During the winter vacation, Grandpa and Grandma were busy every day, always with smiles on their faces.

Although Yu Na was on vacation, she still had to go to school for duty.

Xiao Chen was also busy with work and couldn't stay here the whole time. After the newlyweds played here for a few days, they went back to Chang Wan.

...

Back in Chang Wan, Xiao Chen and Yu Na started to get busy with work.

They went their separate ways during the day, each busy with their own things, but they always stuck together at night.

In fact, Xiao Chen used to really enjoy going out and having fun, but after being with Yu Na, he canceled all his other activities and devoted all his time to accompanying her.

His previous single friends said he had terminal love sickness, but Xiao Chen didn't care at all and retorted, "Look at you guys, like thousand-year-old tree bark. You wish you could be love sick—do you even have the chance?"

Yu Na taught 10th grade, so she didn't need to be high-strung. After all, high school had just started for the students.

So her life was also relatively relaxed, with plenty of vacations, balancing work and life well.

It wasn't until June that a surprise dropped from the sky, breaking the ordinary yet happy little world of the newlywed couple.

—Yu Na was pregnant.

The two of them had no experience with this at all, so at first neither noticed anything off.

It wasn't until a Saturday in June.

When Yu Na had nothing to do on weekends, Xiao Chen would always send a driver to pick her up and bring her to the hotel.

That Saturday, she was drowsy in Xiao Chen's office.

Xiao Chen had Xiao Jiang bring over lunch.

There were many nutritious dishes for lunch.

But when the delicious food was placed in front of Yu Na, she had no appetite at all.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Nothing, I don't have an appetite now. You go ahead and eat first."

"Are you not feeling well?" Xiao Chen's heart suddenly tightened and he pulled her into his arms. "Is it your time of the month?"

"Not yet."

Speaking of this, Yu Na's eyes lit up. She hugged his neck and said, "We timed this so perfectly!"

"..."

Xiao Chen was startled over nothing. "So you were calculating this the whole time?"

"Yes," Yu Na said. "What did you think?"

"I thought you didn't want it."

"How could that be? It's our baby, of course I'm happy. I just didn't expect it to happen so fast." Yu Na leaned on his shoulder, idly poking his chin. "What about you? Are you happy?"

"Of course." Xiao Chen kissed her forehead. "But I also feel like it was a bit sudden. I haven't fully reacted yet."

That day was more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride. By nighttime, the two had completely accepted this fact.

Their material conditions were very good, and their marriage was loving.

After the baby was born, not only would it not have to endure an unhappy family, it would also never have to worry about money for its entire life.

More importantly, the two of them had relatively carefree personalities, especially Xiao Chen, who grew up in a free environment, so he also wouldn't obstruct the child's freedom and would let it live a carefree, happy life.

At night, as Yu Na lay in bed, she asked, "Should we tell Mom and Dad about this?"

"Let's tell them tomorrow, but my mom might get so excited that she drops everything to come take care of you."

"...Ah?" Yu Na gasped. "If Mother comes, then I won't be able to bully you anymore..."

Xiao Chen: ?

Yu Na sighed. "Never mind, I still want to enjoy our time as newlyweds. I won't be able to relax with adults around."

Xiao Chen was very calm. "Don't worry, if Mom comes, she'll join you in bullying me."

...

Later, they felt it wasn't right to keep such a big thing from both pairs of parents.

Especially Xiao's mother—if they hid this from her, Xiao Chen would definitely get a scolding, and not a joking scolding, but an actual one.

Yu Na couldn't bear to see her husband scolded, so in the end they still told both sets of parents.

Just as Xiao Chen had guessed, Xiao's mother immediately prepared to drop everything and come to Chang Wan to take care of Yu Na.

But Xiao Chen stopped her and said, "You don't need to come. Na Na is still early in her pregnancy, I can take good care of her."

"As if you could, you clumsy thing. How could you take care of her?"

Xiao Chen lazily retorted, "If you come, how can the two of us enjoy our time alone?"

At this, Xiao's mother had no rebuttal, but cautioned, "Na Na is pregnant now, so you can't be intimate, understand?"

Xiao Chen: "What do you take me for?"

Xiao's mother: "..."
