After waiting for two weeks, Yu Dong was determined to stop delaying, so she followed Xia Feng to the hospital to know once and for all.

Director Li of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department looked at the restless young couple in front of him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he told the two: "If you're really anxious, I can personally urge them to prioritize your results.

"No!" Xia Feng was just a little nervous; he didn't want to disrupt his colleagues.

"According to my many years of medical experience, your wife is definitely pregnant." Director Li laughed, "And I wouldn't say this for just anyone."

"R-really...?" Xia Feng and Yu Dong looked at each other in uncertainty.

"When you ask me like that even I get nervous." Director Li became a little unsure after seeing Xia Feng's overly cautious expression. "I think we should wait for the test results."

"Xia Feng, we should go wait outside, we don't want to keep Director Li from his other patients." Yu Dong pulled at Xia Feng's sleeve.

"Don't worry about it Mrs. Xia, I don't have any other patients scheduled for today." Director Li pointed to Xia Feng and laughed, "This boy called me so early in the morning that I had to come to the hospital before my s.h.i.+ft. I told him to just buy a pregnancy test in a pharmacy, but he was worried the results might not be as accurate. Asking the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department to personally come over, I feel like a sledgehammer cracking a nut.

(T/N   a sledgehammer to crack a nut is an idiom for using a talented person to do an insignificant thing)

Xia Feng listened to Director Li's half-complaints with some embarra.s.sment: "Director Li I have troubled you."

"Since you know, send a couple of red eggs my way once it's born." Director Li cheerfully said.

"Of course!" Yu Dong laughed.

Then, a nurse came into the room with the results. Seeing Xia Feng, she smiled and giggled before handing the paper to Director Li, saying: "Director, this was the results you requested."

"Hm." Director Li took the paper and looked at the results for a long minute, his eyebrow raised.

"How is it, Director?" Xia Feng anxiously asked. Yu Dong also straightened nervously.

"See for yourself?" Director Li handed the results to Xia Feng.

"Director!" Xia Feng was harried, "You can just directly tell us."

"Ha ha..." Director Li saw Xia Feng's agitation and couldn't help but laugh before saying: "Congratulations, you're going to become parents."

Although she had been mentally prepared when she heard the doctor's announcement, Yu Dong was so surprised that her eyes widened and she turned towards Xia Feng with a silly look. Xia Feng was no better, he was so nervous he didn't know where to put his hands.

"The child is about five weeks old. Everything looks normal, but as a pregnant woman you should pay extra attention to your body from now on, and you can't do anything strenuous." Director Li added.

"Yes!" Yu Dong was so excited, she could only nod repeatedly.

"By the way, I heard you're a DJ for a late night broadcast? Staying up late isn't good for you and the child's health, so I recommend you take a break." Director Li said.

Yu Dong was silent for a moment, but she only hesitated for a few seconds before resolutely nodding her head again.

Xia Feng saw from her expression that Yu Dong was reluctant to give up her job. Xia Feng would often listen to Yu Dong's program, and her pa.s.sion and love for her job were evident in every live broadcast.

Xia Feng didn't know how to comfort her, he could only silently hold Yu Dong's hand tightly.

Yu Dong felt comforted by Xia Feng's warm and strong grip, making her smile at him.

"Well I have nothing else to say, so I'll let you two continue to be lovey-dovey." Director Li laughed as he stood up.

"Thank you, Director." Xia Feng said.

As Director Li went through the door, he said: "Don't forget my red eggs."

"For sure!"

Director Li left satisfied.

"Xia Feng...we're...having a baby?" Yu Dong felt a little magical when she touched her stomach.

"Yes!" Xia Feng embraced Yu Dong and was full of excitement. In fact, Xia Feng had wanted to do this the moment they found out but was too embarra.s.sed to do it in front of Director Li. Fortunately, the other person was busy so he didn't linger.

"I never knew I could like someone so easily, but Xia Feng, I already can't wait to meet our baby." Yu Dong said.

"I like our baby too." Xia Feng caressed Yu Dong's long hair gently, "But I like you the most."

Yu Dong smiled, feeling warm and sweet all over.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Xia Feng waited for a while, but when he didn't get a response, he became anxious.

"What do you want me to say?" In fact, Yu Dong could tell what Xia Feng was hinting at, but she wanted to tease him a little.

Xia Feng frowned, remembering a male colleague that had been married for a while. The colleague mentioned that once a woman has a child, all their vows of love gets tossed out the window.

Xia Feng loosened his hold on Yu Dong to properly look at her in the face. He again reiterated, "I like our child, but I like you more."

"I know!" Yu Dong blinked, pretending to be oblivious.

"Oh..." Xia Feng was somewhat lost as he loosened his hold on Yu Dong.

"Pfft..." Seeing Xia Feng's expression, Yu Dong could no longer hold her laughter in and said: "So silly!"

Xia Feng knew that he was being childish, so he laughed with his wife.

Xia Feng had a busy day ahead of him, so the two didn't linger. He walked out of the room with Yu Dong, intending to accompany her to the parking lot.

Only when they walked along the corridor, several nurses and doctors stopped to say their congratulations. Puzzled, Yu Dong asked: "How can they know already?"

"It must have been the nurse than pa.s.sed your results to the Director." Xia Feng guessed.

Meanwhile, Director Li happened upon the Dean and stopped to greet him.

"What's the matter, you look so happy." The Dean asked.

"That boy Xia Feng is going to be a father." Director Li laughed.

"Oh? That's wonderful!" The Dean was also pleasantly surprised.

Behind the Dean, a crowd of doctors and nurses pa.s.sing by took out their phones one after another.

As Yu Dong opened the car door, she suddenly realized: "When are we telling our parents?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot. I'll call now." Remembering how Mother Xia was so anxious for a grandchild, Xia Feng called her first.

"Hi mom, are you at home? I'd like to tell you something." Xia Feng smiled at Yu Dong, "You're going to be a grandma."

"What?" Mother Xia had been drying the clothes when she heard Xia Feng say this. She threw away the hanger in her hands and yelled for her husband.

Xia Feng could hear his mother's incoherent and excited shouts, bragging about her prophetic dream. He could also hear his father trying to calm her down.

Xia Feng shook his head and hung up the phone. He turned to Yu Dong and shrugged. "I'll have to trouble you for a while, my mother will be cooking a lot of soup for you."

"Then if I get fat it's going to be because of your mom. You're not allowed to dislike me then." Yu Dong pointed at Xia Feng.

"Then I'll eat half for you, let's get fat together."

That's pretty much the same thing!" Then Yu Dong realized: "But what will my mom say? She thinks we're not married yet."

Xia Feng knew that mother-in-law was a traditional woman. He hesitated, then proposed: "We can say we got the certificate right after coming back home. That our wedding preparations are underway. Oh by the way, while in Hainan my dad said mom already came up with seven or eight wedding ideas. We can just pick one."

"Will you be able to get a marriage leave?"

"Forget being married, how can they not give me leave when I'm going to be a dad?" Xia Feng said jokingly.

Yu Dong was satisfied with his answer and gave him one last kiss before driving away. Xia Feng watched the car disappearing before heading to his office.

"Xia Feng!" Shao Yifan was still wearing a surgical gown as he came running over to give Xia Feng a punch on the shoulder. "This kid moves way too fast. I'm still single while your child is already on its way."

"Jealous?"

"No way!"

"Then be jealous." Xia Feng was in a good mood as he sat on his chair and went through some medical records.

"You're being like this towards your good brother? whatever...as long as you share your son." Shao Yifan said, sounding like a true scoundrel.

"What if I have a daughter?" Xia Feng asked.

"If you have a daughter, you best be careful." Shao Yifan joked, "You know that I date younger women."

"Go die!" Xia Feng threw a pen towards Shao Yifan's head.

.....

In Xiaoyue Studios, Xiang Xiaoyue was crouching in front of the sofa, staring at Yu Dong's stomach: "You're actually pregnant?"

Yu Dong and Ren Xinxin laughed at her incredulous expression.

"No wonder you look great recently, you haven't been wearing any makeup either." Xiaoyue became nervous, "Can pregnancy really make people beautiful?"

"Why, are you going to try too?" Yu Dong couldn't help but guffaw.

"You should, otherwise I'll just keep losing money while I continue to bribe, I mean, pursue you." Qin Yue was hanging around, waiting for Xiaoyue to finish work.

"Why are you still here? You shameless man!" Xiaoyue turned back to shout at him.

"Honey, don't make a fuss, I know it was all my fault last night!" Qin Yue replied, his face indulgent.

"Oh~~" Yu Dong and Ren Xinxin looked at Xiaoyue with ambiguous expressions.

Xiang Xiaoyue's face turned red and she wanted to smash her bag against the shameless man. Qin Yue didn't hide, looking at Xiaoyue's bag fearlessly: "Go ahead and hit me, just remember that you have to send me to the hospital yourself."

"You..." Xiang Xiaoyue couldn't understand how a normally-dressed man could be so crooked.

Ren Xinxin saw that Xiaoyue was really about to explode, so she changed the topic and asked Yu Dong: "So have you started the wedding preparations?"

Yu Dong nodded: "It depends on when Xia Feng can get a marriage leave. You know hospitals are constantly busy."

"But if that's the case, you won't be able to book the wedding venue early." Ren Xinxin was worried about this. After all, wedding venues are booked months in advance and are often hard to find.

"Don't worry about that, just go use the FenFang Winery." Xiang Xiaoyue said as she turned to Qin Yue, "Keep the winery empty for me."

"Well, I recently bought it anyway. I'll make a phone call and get it ready." Qin Yue answered with a smile.

Yu Dong raised her eyebrow as Ren Xinxin covered her grin. Yu Dong walked to Qin Yue and gave him a thumbs up.

Qin Yue placed an index finger in front of his nose and winked.

Yu Dong enjoyed the current atmosphere. While Xiang Xiaoyue and Qin Yue were still happily bickering right now, it wouldn't be long before they get married.

Ren Xinxin with her Little Bell and protective girlfriends, will also live a better and happier life.

And Yu Dong? Yu Dong had never thought that she would have a child with someone. She had always been fond of kids, but she had no expectations.

The idea of children was an excellent tool for her mother to force Yu Dong into marriage in her last life. Mother Yu would often paint a bleak picture of Yu Dong's future years.

She would say that without children, no one would remember her. Yu Dong would eat alone, sleep alone, shop alone, with no one to hold. If she gets sick, no one will care for her and offer her comfort.

Are children raised for the purpose of guarding against the bleakness of old age?

At this moment, Yu Dong finally understood that this wasn't true. Children are born because one feels truly happy and blessed.

Like an angel that was coming down from the heavens, let us rejoice for the coming child!

The author has something to say: a lot of people are becoming fans of the homeless man. In fact, this crab just wrote him randomly and didn't think about his future...

Anyway, why don't you give the homeless man a new ident.i.ty, like becoming a king, or a black-bellied CEO, maybe a director or an artist!
