While Lu Jueyu was lost in thought, Li Chenmo woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife staring at her abdomen in a daze. Thinking she was feeling nauseous again, he moved his palm gently.
Sitting up, he pulled her into his arms and asked hoarsely, "Wife, what’s wrong?"
Coming back to her senses, Lu Jueyu said, "Husband, I think I might be pregnant."
When Li Chenmo heard this, he let out a hum and said, "Wife, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up."
Seeing how calm her husband was, Lu Jueyu asked, "Husband, did you already guess it?"
Kissing the top of her head, Li Chenmo replied, "Mhmm. I noticed you haven’t been feeling well and paid more attention to your symptoms. After observing for a few days, I realized you might be pregnant when I calculated your cycle."
It wasn’t strange for her husband to keep track of her cycle—he had always been like this, even in their previous life. So, she asked again, "Why didn’t you tell me?"
"I wasn’t sure and didn’t want to get your hopes up for nothing. But now that you have noticed too, it’s better for us to confirm it with a check-up," Li Chenmo said.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Jueyu nodded, "Okay."
After hugging her for a while, Li Chenmo said, "Wife, you should sleep more."
Feeling sleepy, Lu Jueyu didn’t insist on getting up. She nodded, lay back down, and soon drifted off to sleep.
Before leaving the room, Li Chenmo covered her with a thin blanket and kissed her lightly. When he stepped out, he saw his son was already awake.
Seeing his father, Dong Li rubbed his eyes and greeted him, "Good morning, Father."
"Good morning."
The two of them went to the backyard to wash up. After brushing his teeth, Li Chenmo said, "Today, Father will be taking your mother to the hospital for a check-up. If we are back late, go to your grandpa’s house with your sister for lunch."
Hearing this, Dong Li asked, "Father, what’s wrong with Mother?"
Not wanting his son to worry, Li Chenmo replied, "Your mother might be pregnant."
Dong Li’s eyes lit up with joy as he asked, "Father, is Mother really pregnant? I will have a younger sibling?"
Seeing his son’s happiness, Li Chenmo felt his own joy and anticipation grow. He had known Dong Li wouldn’t feel jealous or unhappy, but he hadn’t expected him to be even happier than he was when he found out about this matter.
Patting his shoulder lightly, he said, "There is a high possibility, but we need to confirm it with a test. Don’t tell Xiao Huang yet."
Nodding eagerly, Dong Li said, "I will listen to you, Father."
"Good."
