Su Ling's eyes widened. Her hands slowly loosened and the report in her hand as well as her phone dropped to the floor.

She stood in a daze for a few seconds before picking them up slowly.

Wasn't he supposed to be happy? Why was his reaction so strange? Could it be...that he was not ready to be a father?

However, thinking of the rule about not letting children from the Lu family be aborted or born away from the family, she felt pacified. Although she was not the type of woman who would take advantage of her pregnancy to pin a man down, she was happy about this guarantee. At least her baby will not be born a bastard and face ridicule.

Wait, what was she thinking? Lu Shaoting hadn't said anything negative. She shouldn't jump into conclusions.

She decided to leave the hospital premise first and wait to speak to him later.

At that moment, her phone vibrated with an incoming call.

Her spirit was rather low with a tinge of fear when she answered it. "What is it?"

___

A few minutes ago, in Lu Enterprises, the office of the Vice President.

Lu Shaoting had just been notified by his brother that he was to chair a meeting on his behalf. The latter had to leave the company building to check on something important on urgent notice.

The meeting couldn't be postponed either, so Lu Shaoting could let his assistant handle other matters. Lu Aotian briefed him on all the details.

It just happened to be at this time that Su Ling called.

Lu Shaoting looked at his brother pleadingly.

One look and Lu Aotian knew who was calling. Knowing how much Su Ling meant to his brother, if he didn't let him pick that call, Lu Shaoting wouldn't be completely attentive in that meeting. He might in fact mess up the whole meeting altogether.

"Two minutes." he said.

Lu Shaoting picked it happily, though he knew that he couldn't talk for too long.

Alas, he could only be brief.

"Honey, I have a meeting to chair in ten minutes. Is something the matter?"

Su Ling's voice didn't sound right. "Shaoting, I came from hospital just now..."

He instantly became worried. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I'm fine, nothing's wrong with me. Shaoting I...I'm pregnant."

He was just about to ask more about why she went to hospital but his brother was looking at him, so he could only end the call. He would call her after the meeting. "I see. I'm hanging up now."

...

He had to hang up although he didn't want to.

Then he looked at his brother and lamented.

"Bro, you are too mean. Would you act the same way if the person calling was sister-in-law? You are only being so serious because it is..."

Eer...

Wait. A. Second.

What did his Su Ling just say?

Pregnant?

She said that she was pregnant? She was from hospital just now and that was the result, right?

He felt an electric current in his brain.

This had to be a dream. No way. It must because he had been hoping to have a child with her so much that he had started having hallucinations. That had to be it.

He tried to shake his head to clear his mind, his heart racing like wild horses against his chest. "Did my Su Ling call me just now?"

Lu Aotian gave him a scornful look.

"Did she just say that she....she's pregnant?"

The look in Lu Aotian's eyes scolded him as an idiot. Realization dawned on him just now?

While speaking to her, he had unknowingly put the call on speaker at some point and Lu Aotian unintentionally heard the part where she said that she was pregnant.

He had registered this news himself, although he acted like he hadn't heard anything, yet his younger brother's mind had not processed it yet?

Lu Shaoting's voice shook as he said to his brother, "Let me confirm it, okay? It will be quick."

Without waiting for his approval, he dialled Su Ling's number.

Lu Aotian wasn't going to refuse him after all. He knew what huge news it was to be a father.

When Su Ling picked the call, she sounded strange, as though she was in a bad mood.

"What is it?"

Lu Shaoting was brimming with excitement. "Baby, did you call me just now?"

Su Ling answered monotonously. "Yes."

"Did you say that...you are pregnant?" His voice went low as though afraid that she would say that it wasn't what she had said before, and shatter his fantasy mercilessly.

"Yes."

The next thing he felt was fireworks in his head. It was true....

He broke into an unrestrained smile.

He had not misheard her. She had indeed said that.

His! Wife! Was! Pregnant!

The next thing Lu Aotian saw was his younger brother jumping and running around him like a lunatic.

"I'm going to be a dad! Bro, I'm really going to be a dad! My Ling is pregnant! Hahahaha."

"Congratulations." Lu Aotian only gave him one glance before finding someone else to chair the meeting on his behalf. His younger brother was probably too excited now. "Go find your wife. She was probably scared off by your reaction."

At the same time, Su Ling was extremely annoyed. What kind of reaction was that?

But she couldn't blame him. He must have been busy and had a slow reaction.

She had been so excited just now that she rushed to break the news, even though she could have waited and told him about it tonight.

In fact, she was so happy that she didn't hear his first statement clearly, the one where he said that he had a meeting to chair in ten minutes.
