“I know.” Ling Qing said, “I just…”
He sighed, “I always feel it’s unreal.”
“You’re already five months pregnant, it’s still not real?”
“Maybe I have to wait until the baby is born and it stands in front of me alive, then I’ll feel it’s real.”
Yu Chen:…
“Then you have to wait another five months.”
“Go ahead.” Ling Qing said calmly, “It’s not unreal. The first five months have passed, and the second half won’t be too long.”
“Let’s work together.”
Ling Qing shook hands with him, “Come on.”
In early August, two days before Mother Yu’s birthday, Ling Qing and Yu Chen went back to the Yu family together. Butler Wang was worried, so he went back with them.
Before going home, Yu Chen gave his parents a heads-up, saying that he had something important to tell them when he got home. He hoped they would not be too surprised and that there would be no outsiders at home.
Father Yu said proudly, “What big deal is there? Why are you keeping it secret? I, your dad, have seen all kinds of storms. Even when the stock market was at its most ferocious, I remained unmoved.”
“That’s right.” Mother Yu also agreed, “You suddenly came out and said you wanted to marry Xiao Qing, I was only surprised for a day and then I accepted it.”
“That’s good.”
Father and Mother Yu, “You really underestimate your parents.”
Yu Chen: …I hope you can still be so calm by then.
The three of them arrived at Yu’s house before lunch.
When Mother Yu saw Ling Qing, she looked at his obviously bulging belly in surprise, “Xiao Qing has gained weight recently?”
Ling Qing: “…Yeah.”
Yu Chen had no choice but to say directly, “He’s not fat, Qing Qing is pregnant.”
Mother Yu:!!!
Mother Yu looked at Ling Qing in shock, and then looked at her son in disbelief, “What nonsense are you talking about! How can you talk like that? Aren’t you afraid that Xiao Qing will be angry?”
She then walked over and grabbed Ling Qing, “Ignore him, this kid, he’s just talking nonsense.”
Yu Chen:…
Ling Qing smiled, “It’s not really nonsense.”
Mother Yu: ???? How come one husband is singing the same tune as the other?
“Xiao Qing, you don’t have to pay attention to him. Come on, mom will take you upstairs.”
Butler Wang said at the right time, “It’s true, the young lady is really pregnant.”
Mother Yu looked back at him dissatisfied, “Old Wang, why are you still playing with these two children? It’s not appropriate.”
Butler Wang handed over the report, “Five months.”
Mother Yu: !!!
Mother Yu took it in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.
She was silent for a long time. After reading it, she looked at Ling Qing again with a puzzled look on her face, “Xiao Qing, you are a boy, right?”
Yu Chen:…
Ling Qing smiled and nodded.
Mother Yu suddenly had a lot of questions in her mind, “How can a boy get pregnant?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m gifted and Xiao Yu and I have such a deep and lasting relationship.”
Mother Yu: …
Mother Yu thought it would be better to say that Guanyin, the goddess of fertility, went to the wrong place, so Ling Qing got pregnant without knowing it.
She frowned, thinking over and over the eight possible reasons why her daughter-in-law was pregnant. Suddenly she realized something and said to Ling Qing, “Xiao Qing, don’t stand. Come and sit down.”
“Oh.” Ling Qing sat down.
Mother Yu was too busy to figure out the reason and criticized her son, “You too, you didn’t tell me such a big thing as my daughter-in-law being pregnant, and I only found out about it now, it’s already been five months.”
When she thought about the fact that it was her birthday and she found out by accident because she called him and Ling Qing to come back, she became even more dissatisfied, “If I didn’t call you to come back, would you have waited until the baby was born before telling me?”
“Of course not, I come back every year on your birthday, and even if you don’t call, we will come back around this time and tell you.”
“Then if it wasn’t my birthday at this time, you wouldn’t have told me.”
Yu Chen:…
Yu Chen thought to himself that it wasn’t a question of whether he wanted to tell it or not, it was that Ling Qing didn’t want them to see that he was pregnant at all.
Ling Qing himself still felt that this was unreal, and he was always afraid that everyone would look at him like a panda, so he had never wanted to let others know.
If it hadn’t happened to be Mother Yu’s birthday, Ling Qing probably really planned to wait until the child was born and then tell everyone that they had a biological child.
But this could not be said to the two parents, so Yu Chen just said, “I’m just afraid that you will be surprised.”
“When you came out and said you were going to get married, why weren’t you afraid that we would be surprised?”
“Then we could hide it, right?”
Mother Yu:…
Mother Yu looked at Ling Qing’s belly. This could indeed be hidden. As long as Ling Qing didn’t show up, no one would know that he was pregnant. After all, Ling Qing was a star now. Stars’ whereabouts were uncertain all year round and them being too busy to go home was also very normal.
Besides, even if Ling Qing showed up, as long as the two of them didn’t say anything, who would be able to guess that he was pregnant? Who would guess this? If he had a full stomach, people would just think that he had eaten too much or drunk too much.
They were indeed very good at keeping it secret.
For the first time, Mother Yu felt that her son was quite good at keeping secrets. He could keep such a big thing secret without leaking a single thing!
She quickly adjusted the dinner menu, added a few light dishes, and started stewing soup.
When Father Yu came back from work, he saw his wife happily stewing tonic food in the kitchen.
“Why are you cooking by yourself today?”
Mother Yu looked at him and said happily, “I’m telling you, don’t tell anyone else, Xiao Chen doesn’t allow us to tell anyone else.”
“Oh, it’s that mysterious big thing he’s doing.” Father Yu was disdainful, “Tell me, I’m too lazy to tell anyone else.”
“Xiao Qing is pregnant.”
“Hey, I thought it was a big deal, it’s just…”
Father Yu suddenly realized something, “Pregnant?!!! Xiao Qing???”
Mother Yu nodded.
“Ling Qing?” Father Yu asked in shock.
Mother Yu looked at him and was also shocked for a while, then she calmed down, “Yes, it’s Ling Qing.”
“Isn’t Ling Qing a man?”
“Then who knows what’s going on? That’s what it says on the pregnancy test report.”
“Ling Qing’s pregnancy test report?”
“Whom else? Mine?”
Father Yu couldn’t believe it, “Now two men can have children?”
“Then we don’t know whether it’s the case in other families.”
Father Yu: …He underestimated this world.
“Don’t tell anyone else.” Mother Yu reminded.
“Someone has to believe me even if I tell them.” He still found it unbelievable, “You didn’t lie to me, did you?”
“Of course not. If you don’t believe me, just look at Xiao Qing’s belly. He’s already five months pregnant.”
“Five months!!!!” Father Yu was even more shocked, “Then why didn’t they tell us? Did they only find out now?”
“Your son said he was afraid we would be surprised, so he kept it a secret. I guess the two children were embarrassed to say it, so they didn’t know how to say it, so they kept it a secret.”
“Then they are quite good at hiding it.”
“That’s right, Lao Wang helped them keep it a secret.”
Father Yu rolled up his sleeves, “I told you Lao Wang is unreliable. He helped Xiao Chen keep secrets for whatever he did when he was a child. I caught him several times, and he always apologized and said he was wrong, and then he dared to do it again next time.”
Mother Yu laughed, “Who told you to be so mean to Xiao Chen back then.”
Father Yu snorted, “I’m doing this for his own good.”
“So Xiao Chen didn’t hold it against you, right?”
She turned off the fire and said with emotion, “But I really didn’t expect that these two kids would have a baby so soon. I thought they would have to wait until the Chinese New Year to adopt a child, but they have one in less than a year.”
“That’s great. I can take care of my grandson or granddaughter next year.”
Father Yu also thought it was good. “Old Li showed me photos of his grandson a few days ago. Next year, I can do the same. Judging from the looks of our Xiao Chen and Xiao Qing, whether it’s a grandson or a granddaughter, they will definitely be good-looking and will outshine the entire circle of friends!”
The two discussed enthusiastically, as if they had entered the state of grandparenthood in advance.
