CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 308 WELCOME TO THIS WORLD

The sound that could wake Chen Cheng up was definitely not the monotonous radar alarm of the iPhone.

Half asleep, Chen Cheng caught a glimpse of that familiar figure, brushed aside the long hair covering her face, and when Xia Yubing’s delicate makeup reappeared, he knew for sure, she had returned.

"Why don’t you sleep a little longer?"

Xia Yubing looked up, "I missed you."

"You," Chen Cheng propped himself up, "always find ways to make me happy."

"I don’t know what else I can do," Xia Yubing said hesitantly, "making my husband comfortable is the only thing I can do."

Chen Cheng smiled, stroked her smooth long hair, then comfortably closed his eyes again, enjoying the familiar care.

But in the next second, Xia Yubing’s throat suddenly tightened, her complexion changed dramatically, and she quickly hurried off the bed, heading straight for the bathroom.

Chen Cheng was stunned for half a second, then hurriedly followed her, only to see Xia Yubing bracing herself tightly against the washbasin.

The sounds of Xia Yubing retching continued, with the acid rising up her throat as if thousands of horses were galloping and tumbling in her stomach, causing her an unbearable discomfort making it almost impossible to stand firm.

Chen Cheng supported her from behind, gently patting her back, anxiously asking, "What’s wrong? I didn’t push too hard just now."

After a while, Xia Yubing weakly shook her head, turned on the tap, and washed her face with cold water, trying to sober up.

However, that nauseous feeling clung to her persistently and was unstoppable.

Slowly lifting her head, her gaze fixed on her reflection in the mirror, suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, freezing her on the spot.

"Am I...?"

She turned around, looking at Chen Cheng in front of her, hesitating to continue, unable to speak further.

Chen Cheng frowned tightly, "Hasn’t it come this month?"

Xia Yubing silently counted the days in her heart and uncertainly said, "It seems to be over a week late."

Chen Cheng’s expression instantly became complicated, a mix of surprise and concern.

He grabbed Xia Yubing’s shoulders, his voice slightly trembling as he asked, "You mean...?"

Xia Yubing bit her lower lip, tears beginning to well up in her eyes, "Husband... am I... pregnant?"

Their gazes seemed drawn by an invisible force, simultaneously dropping to Xia Yubing’s abdomen.

For a moment, the air in the bathroom seemed to freeze, only their rapid breathing remained.

...

...

Knock, knock, knock.

Chen Cheng went to open the door.

"Hello, your takeaway."

Chen Cheng took the small yellow package, "Thank you."

After closing the door, he walked over to Xia Yubing, opened the bag, "Go test it."

Xia Yubing nodded in agreement, taking the pregnancy test she bought and walked back into the bathroom.

During the waiting period for the takeaway, Xia Yubing’s thoughts were tangled and chaotic.

Although she usually affectionately called Chen Cheng ’husband’ and has long regarded this man as her life’s support, she was clearly aware that her relationship with Chen Cheng was somewhat unspeakable and not presentable in public.

If she really was carrying Chen Cheng’s child, what choices would he make?

After all, Xia Yubing was clear about her own identity.

And for Chen Cheng, during this short time, his inner turmoil was no less than Xia Yubing’s.

Reflecting on his past ten relationships, he knew that the issue of children would come up sooner or later, but he had never expected that the first potential new life might be brought by Xia Yubing.

Inside the bathroom, the sound of flowing water was loud, and Chen Cheng’s heart was equally unsettled, as if on pins and needles.

He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, quietly waiting for the unknown result.

After about seven or eight minutes, with a "click," the bathroom door opened.

Xia Yubing walked out with her head down, footsteps slightly heavy, tightly clutching the pregnancy test, not daring to meet Chen Cheng’s gaze.

"How is it?" Chen Cheng asked.

Xia Yubing slowly raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears.

Trembling, she handed the pregnancy test to Chen Cheng, with two clear red lines displayed.

Chen Cheng stared at the two red lines, his mind went blank.

Seeing Chen Cheng silent for a long time, Xia Yubing became even more uneasy, "Husband, if you do not want me..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Cheng suddenly pulled Xia Yubing into a tight embrace, his tone firm and gentle, "What silly things are you talking about? I couldn’t be happier!"

Xia Yubing froze in his arms, her tears flowed even more fiercely, this time tears of joy.

"Really? You really... don’t blame me?" she asked with a choked voice, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

Chen Cheng cupped her face, gently wiping away her tears, "How could I blame you?"

"I was afraid..."

Chen Cheng shook his head, "Don’t be afraid of anything, just be at ease."

Xia Yubing nodded heavily, while at this moment, Chen Cheng felt a surge of uncontrollable excitement and thrill of becoming a father for the first time.

He let go and paced in the living room, "Then should we... go to the hospital to check?"

Xia Yubing broke into a smile, clutching the pregnancy test tightly, nodded, "Yeah, I’ll listen to you."

"Can you hear anything yet?" Chen Cheng eagerly crouched down, pressing his ear against Xia Yubing’s abdomen.

Xia Yubing, amused by his sudden action, gently pushed him, "It’s just a few weeks, how can you hear anything."

Chen Cheng raised his head, scratching his head a bit awkwardly, "Right, too excited, forgot about that."

But the excitement and anticipation in his eyes remained undiminished, instead intensifying.
