"An’an!" Upon seeing Xia Wan’an co out, Han Jingnian imdiately gripped her arm nervously, scanning her up and down while anxiously asking, "What’s wrong?"
Confronted by Han Jingnian’s panic-stricken deanor, Xia Wan’an extended her arms with a combination of excitent and joy and embraced him.
Her initiative made Han Jingnian stiffen montarily, after which he expressed his anxiety, "An’an..."
As he spoke, he tried to move her out of his arms.
He’d barely managed to call out her na and hold her arm when Xia Wan’an, who was hugging him, decreased the strength of her hug. Seemingly unable to control her excitent, she hopped up and down on the spot twice before blurting out, "Han Jingnian, I, I, I...I am pregnant!"
Han Jingnian froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
Imrsed in her own joy, Xia Wan’an did not notice the stiffness of the man. She was still babbling in excitent, "I’m really pregnant! I’m truly pregnant! No wonder I was feeling so sick lately, it turns out I am pregnant!"
After Xia Wan’an had rambled on, hugging him and jumping about for a while, Han Jingnian blankly blinked. He had been shocked by her words and it took so ti before he managed to ask, "What did you say?"
"I said I’m pregnant, I have a baby, we have a baby!" As Xia Wan’an spoke, she let go of Han Jingnian’s neck. Thinking he didn’t believe her, she grabbed his hand and dragged him into the bathroom where she pointed out a row of pregnancy tests on the floor, "Look, I’m not lying. I really am pregnant!"
Han Jingnian took a two-second pause, then followed her fingers to the row of pregnancy tests on the floor.
He looked at each test, one by one, then once again and again, then asked in a daze after the third look, "Are all these yours?"
"Of course, they’re all mine. Who else would be using them?" Xia Wan’an proudly pulled out the instruction manual for the pregnancy tests from a drawer and pointed to the result showing two lines for Han Jingnian, "Look, if it’s just like the image here, that ans I’m pregnant."
Han Jingnian didn’t speak, but looked at the word "pregnant" in the manual for a long ti before finally looking into Xia Wan’an’s eyes and asking, "You’re pregnant?"
Xia Wan’an nodded vigorously and repeated, "Yes, yes."
"You’re pregnant, and I’m going to be a father?"
Xia Wan’an humd a response, "How coincidental, I’m going to be a mother."
Again, Han Jingnian fell silent. He just stared at Xia Wan’an in silence for a while, before muttering to himself, "A father...I’m going to be a father...a father... a father..."
His voice got louder with each repetition, reaching the point where his eyes welled up with a torrent of emotions: excitent, disbelief, extre joy, and a hint of bewildernt for the first ti as a father...
"A father...I am going to be a father...I can’t believe I am going to be a father..." As he spoke, Han Jingnian stretched out his hands to pull Xia Wan’an into his arms.
It was only then that Xia Wan’an noticed the intense trembling of the man’s body.
Turns out, even though he had once told her that he didn’t like kids, deep down, he yearned for a child.
