“Wife, what’s the good news you have for me?” “Could it be that you truly have a baby on the way?”

“Are you serious, or is this another one of your jokes?”

Although skeptical about his wife’s pregnancy, Su Bin couldn’t contain his excitement and fired off a series of questions.

Qin Zhenzhen shot him a disdainful look, questioning his comprehension. “Do you think I have time to play jokes with you?”

Stunned, Su Bin pressed further in surprise, “Really? Are you being serious? You’re pregnant, and I’m going to be a father?”

“Does this mean we no longer have to pretend about being pregnant? Is it real?”

“Was your reaction just now genuine?”

Observing Su Bin’s joy akin to that of a child, Qin Zhenzhen nodded with delight, momentarily forgetting the earlier episode.

This was their first child, a cause for genuine happiness.

“This is fantastic! This is amazing!” Su Bin exclaimed, almost on the verge of jumping in joy. However, a sudden recollection of Qin Zhenzhen’s pale face, cold sweat, and uncomfortable vomiting sobered him.

His smile faded as he asked with concern, “Wife, are you still feeling unwell?” Qin Zhenzhen shook her head gently. “I’ve already had plenty of sour plums.”

Yet, she knew the discomfort was only beginning.

Su Bin’s joy turned to worry. “Wife, you’ve been through a lot.”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded, “Yes, carrying a child must be challenging, but knowing he’s our child makes it worthwhile.”

Su Bin gently embraced Qin Zhenzhen, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, wife! ”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled, “Why so formal? You’re acting as if this child belongs to you alone.”

Su Bin spoke earnestly, “Wife, words can’t convey what I’m feeling right now.

When I saw you pretending to be pregnant, I thought it was an exaggeration.

Witnessing your pain firsthand, I now understand the difficulty of pregnancy.”

Qin Zhenzhen concurred, “Indeed, this is just the beginning.”

“But don’t worry. I’m a skilled doctor. I’ll prepare the right foods to alleviate pregnancy symptoms.”

Su Bin inquired further, “Wife, you haven’t told me the whole story. Didn’t you say we weren’t in a rush to have a child? When did you stop the precautions?”

Aware that his wife, being a skilled doctor, employed distinct measures, Su Bin was uncertain about the specifics but trusted their effectiveness.

Qin Zhenzhen then recounted the circumstances.

“I found pretending to be pregnant a bit tiresome, always having to be cautious about exposure. So, I thought, why not just get pregnant.”

Su Bin blamed himself, “It’s my fault for suggesting the fake pregnancy. I inadvertently disrupted our original plan.”

He reminisced about the liveliness of his wife before the pretense, free to do as she pleased. However, once she became “pregnant,” she grew cautious and resisted his touch.

Su Bin realized that having a child a year or two later wouldn’t have mattered much. He regretted not considering this before proposing the fake pregnancy, now understanding the impact it had on their original plans.

Little did he anticipate that his wife would sacrifice the plan for the sake of a broader perspective.

Qin Zhenzhen smiled, “I did it willingly!”

She acknowledged that her perspective had shifted a bit after being intimate with Su Bin.

Initially, she hadn’t planned on having a child so soon. Aware that parenthood brought additional responsibilities and ties, she was also influenced by her past-life mindset. The notion of having a child at the age of fifteen or sixteen seemed absurd to her..
