Chapter 493: An unexpected news

Han Xiao Fan cleared her throat. “Well, I was really worried about Zhilan…I-I thought,” she looked at Huo Shen, “Shen! Weren’t you watching over her?”

Huo Shen gulped. “I was also worried about Zhilan. I couldn’t help but think about her checkup. That was the only thing going in my mind.”

Liwei gritted his teeth. “Shameless! Just admit it that she was throwing a tantrum for an ice-cream, so you left her for me! You made me a scapegoat!”

Chen Liling and Serena coughed and giggled.

“That’s not true!” Huo Xiao Fan quickly said, “I thought it would be such a lovely bonding time between brother and sister.”

Huo Shen furiously nodded.

“All lies!”

“Yijie!”

Zixin was delighted to see her and quickly hopped towards her.

“Zixin!” Huo Yijie chirped and said, “Big brother, put me down.”

His mouth twitched. “Oh now you finally want me to put you down? You refused to walk on your own this whole time and make me run like a clown to get you your favorite ice-cream, and now you want to get down?”

Yijie widened her eyes, and pitifully looked at him. “Big brother, pleaaaasssseeee…. I love big brother the most! Even more than Mom and Dad.”

“Really?”

“Yes, yes!”

His heart melted in an instant, seeing his sister’s adorable expression. “Hmph. This is the last time. Next time, you will surely get a punishment.”

She furiously nodded. “I understand!”

She giggled inwardly.

You always say that, but you never punish me hehe~~

Huo Shen’s mouth twitched.

Just how many times will you fall for the same trick?

“Yijie, come to big sister!” Serena opened her arms.

Yijie jumped in her arms and laughed. “Big sister! I missed you!”

She chuckled. “I missed you too. Tell me, how does my little angel feel now? Weren’t you having pain in your tummy?”

Yijie was feeling sick for the last two days, so she couldn’t join their trip yesterday. Though Nana offered to postpone it and go when she felt better, Huo Xiao Fan and Huo Shen didn’t feel like ruining the mood, especially when the other kids were already so excited.

Yijie adorably clutched her hands around her neck. “I am feeling fine now! It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Huo Xiao Fan sighed. “It’s because she ate too much chocolate cake that day, and Shen hadn’t the heart to stop her.”

Huo Shen pursed his lips. “I couldn’t help it…she was so cute asking for more.”

“She was using her charms because she knew you were going to fall for it. She never does that to me because she knows that I will not budge. You need to toughen up.”

“Yijie is only five. How can I toughen up in front of her?”

Liwei snorted.

Huo Shen glared at him. “Hey, don’t give me that look, idiot son. You cannot do it either.”

“Don’t lump me in with you, old man!”

Huo Xiao Fan rolled her eyes. “She got sick precisely because you couldn’t toughen up.”

Well, he had nothing to retort to that.

“…I will try harder next time.”

“Heh!” Liwei sneered at his father.

“And you should have refused to give her ice-cream because she has just recovered. At least give her some time before she can resume. What if her tummy aches again?”

Liwei’s mouth twitched.

“Hah!” Huo Shen enjoyed his son getting berated too.

“Yijie! Come with me!” Zixin excitedly came to her. “Grandpa brought me a new gift! Let’s open it together.”

Yijie got down from Serena’s arms, and along with Zixin, the kids got busy in their own world.

Liwei smiled and patted Serena’s head. “Hey, little sis. I heard everything. I am really happy for you.”

“Bro…” she hugged him back.

Jianyu smiled.

Huo Xiao Fan clapped. “Ah, I cannot believe that Zixin and Yijie will have another sibling soon!”

Serena blushed.

Chen Liling laughed. “Of course. Three months will pass by in no time. I cannot believe kids grow so fast. It feels like it was just yesterday that Zixin and then Yijie were born.”

Liwei chuckled. “Ah, Yijie…I still remember that day. Mom and Dad surely gave a huge shock by Mom’s pregnancy.”

Huo Xiao Fan said, “I was more shocked to know that Jianyu knew about it. When we were playing games after the wedding and Jianyu had to take Zhilan’s ring from me, that was the last thing in my mind that j thought Jianyu might ‘threaten’ me with.”

Jianyu shrugged. “It wasn’t my fault that I saw you in the hospital one day when I came to collect Serena’s reports after the accident. You came out of the gynecologist department, and I immediately understood though it was hell as shocking to me too.”

Indeed Jianyu was stunned to see her in the hospital. Not only that, but he also a file in her hand, and he could faintly see the terms ‘prenatal’ and ‘pregnant’ on the front page.

That’s how he knew that she was pregnant.

The pregnancy came shocking to Huo Xiao Fan herself. She felt nauseated and would often puke and feel dizzy. She even felt averse to some foods, and she couldn’t help but recognize those signs as possible pregnancy.

Just one in a thousand chance, she felt that she might be pregnant, but she didn’t put much hope on it.

But the results came out positive.

She was in disbelief the whole time as she read the test reports. She even asked the doctor how it was possible for her to get pregnant. She was in her late forties, after all.

“It’s nothing rare, Mrs. Huo. You are yet to hit menopause, so that means your menstrual cycle works fine just like any other young woman. You will ovulate, and when you have intercourse, there are chances of fertilization. Surely, it becomes difficult to get pregnant in middle age, but it isn’t impossible as long as you don’t hit menopause.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Huo. I understand your concerns. You are worried about your age, and it’s the risk at this stage. But rest assured, your pregnancy is absolutely safe. Both you and your child are in perfect condition. See the dot in this report? That is your baby.”

When Huo Xiao Fan looked at the tiny dot she pointed, she couldn’t help but get emotional. Her eyes teared up.

She was already wondering for a long time how it would be to have a child with Huo Shen. But she knew that, considering their ages, it was too late.

But now…

It was a reality. She was really pregnant with Huo Shen’s child.
