Originally, Mr. Lu had planned a week-long vacation and honeymoon, but in the end, he only stayed at the manor for one day before returning.

The reason was that Su Ran was probably pregnant.

Although the manor was equipped with a doctor, it was not a professional obstetrician and gynecologist, and it was not very convenient there. Therefore, because he was worried, Lu Shao took Su Ran back to City B.

The first thing they did after returning was to go to the hospital Zhou Fu had booked in advance for a prenatal checkup.

At the hospital.

“What happened to my mom?” Su Han, who had just returned to the Lu family from the Lu Corporation and hadn’t even sat down yet, came over and asked with a worried expression on his face.

A pair of eyes still glared at Lu Shao with all their might.

It’s this shameless guy!carpreads.pages.dev

Previously, he had told him to cooperate and wait until he was on winter break. Then, their family would go on vacation and give Su Ran a surprise. And the result was!

This guy actually took advantage of the opportunity to fool him into going to Lu Corporation, and then left with Su Ran first. Most importantly, what exactly happened? Why did she go straight to the hospital as soon as she came back?

Su Han felt that he had never been so nervous before. As a result, as soon as Zhou Fu finished saying, “Sir is currently accompanying Madam at the hospital,” Su Han charged over without even hearing the last two words, “checkup.”

If anything happened to that woman, he wouldn’t let Lu Shao off the hook. Su Han clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and glared at Lu Shao, trying to read the answer he wanted to know from Lu Shao’s face.

Then, Su Han was stunned.

At this moment, the expression on this Lu’s face was a bit nervous, that’s true, but why was it not more nervous? Instead, it was excitement and anticipation? Even the arc of Lu Shao’s mouth at the moment seemed a bit like a silly smile?

What exactly happened? Su Han was puzzled in his heart.

Just as she was about to ask again, he saw the doctor walking out of the examination room.

“Mr. Lu, your wife is currently 7 weeks pregnant, and her due date is November 7th of this year.” The doctor looked at Lu Shao and said.

“Also, the first prenatal checkup needs to wait until the 12th week, but for now, all the test indicators are normal, so please rest assured.” The doctor smiled, looking at the two faces, big and small, that were both filled with worry.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shao hooked the corner of his mouth, and the last bit of tension on his face disappeared. Taking two steps toward the ward, Lu Shao suddenly stopped and looked at the doctor, asking, “Can I go in now?”

“You can.” The doctor nodded, holding back a laugh.

After hearing the doctor, Lu Shao nodded at him, said “Thank you for your hard work”, and then quickly pushed the door open and entered the ward.

Behind them, Zhou Fu, who had followed Su Han all the way, couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw Lu Shao like this. Perhaps because he had taken over the family business at a young age, Mr. Lu was always calm and collected. It was rare to see him as flustered as he was now.

However, even though there was Young Master Su Han, after all, when the master found out about this child, Su Han was already a big kid. If you really think about it, the master’s current mood is really the feeling of being a father for the first time. It’s normal for him to be so excited.

Zhou Fu smiled. He turned her gaze back to Su Han, who was standing there with a dazed look on his face.

“Young Master, put on your clothes first.” Reacting, Zhou Fu quickly put the down jacket he was holding in his hand on Su Han’s body.

Su Han rushed out as soon as he heard his mother was in the hospital, and he didn’t even finish listening to what he said. Fortunately, the hospital was located in Dongshan Garden, so Su Han didn’t have to run far.

“Just now, the doctor meant that my mom is pregnant?” At this moment, Su Han still felt a little confused, his eyes widened, and he asked in a daze.

“Yes, the young master will soon have a younger brother or sister.” Zhou Fu said with a smile on his face.

The Lu family was about to welcome another child, and Zhou Fu was quite excited about it. After speaking, Zhou Fu looked at Su Han, who had his head lowered and looked silent and conflicted, and his heart suddenly sank.

He was so focused on the adults’ happiness that he ignored the young master’s feelings. He looked it up online, and it seemed like the attitudes of children towards having a second child in the family were quite subtle now?

Although Su Han was now considered a big kid, due to his previous experiences, he had actually felt very little love from his family. Zhou Fu suddenly felt worried and was thinking about how to comfort the young master.

But then, Su Han whispered again, “I think a little sister is still better.”

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he and that man with the surname Lu did look very much alike, and then, another little brat who looked very much like them came to this house?

Heh, then forget it.

Not cute at all.

Su Han muttered in his heart.

As for Su Ran’s pregnancy, Su Han himself couldn’t explain it clearly. He just had some complicated feelings in his heart. The 13-year-old boy had understood some things to some extent.

Su Han was vaguely looking forward to Su Ran having another child. However, as soon as he thought about the child being the seed of a certain man surnamed Lu, Su Han felt a strange sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.

……

On the other side.

Although she felt that there was nothing wrong, after the examination, everything was normal, and Su Ran was relieved. Before she could get out of bed, Lu Shao pushed open the door and walked in quickly.

Looking at Mr. Lu, who was in a hurry and had an excited expression, Su Ran couldn’t help but want to laugh. At the same time, her heart was filled with a warm current the moment she saw Lu Shao.

“You’re going to be a father again.” Looking at Lu Shao, Su Ran blinked and said with a smile that she couldn’t help but show on her face.

“Yes.” Upon hearing this, Lu Shao responded, walked in front of Su Ran, and pulled her into his embrace.

“Thank you, Xiao Ran.” Lu Shao lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on Su Ran’s lips, unable to hide his excitement as he spoke.

“Also, I apologize for my negligence in the previous matter.” Lu Shao said. He was talking about when they were at the manor, when the two of them were doing that thing.

Upon hearing this, Su Ran couldn’t help but smile and held Lu Shao’s hand.

“Don’t worry, didn’t the doctor say that what happened before had no effect, and that I was probably just having a pregnancy reaction at that time?”

However, speaking of this, Su Ran couldn’t help but despise herself in her heart. She had been pregnant for 7 weeks, and according to the doctor, her pregnancy symptoms during this period were actually quite obvious. How could the two of them be so careless as to be completely unaware?

But that was also true. After all, Lu Shao hadn’t witnessed Su Han’s birth, so it was no exaggeration to say that Lu Shao was a complete novice at the moment.

As for her. It seemed like she doesn’t have any experience either. Although Su Ran still had some of the original owner’s memories in her mind. However, when Su Han was conceived and born, the entire process was actually quite haphazard. At the time, “Su Ran” was just a child herself, and when she found out she was pregnant, she was nothing but nervous and scared.

The only thing was that Su Ran’s period was two weeks late, but she didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a menstrual disorder caused by her being nervous about her son’s exam.

But it was true that she had not thought about pregnancy at all. So, she and Lu Shao, they were having a child?

Su Ran thought about it secretly in her mind, and suddenly felt that it was a bit magical.

“Lu Shao.”

“Hmm?”

“Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

“Stay put, I’ll do it.” Seeing Su Ran preparing to get out of bed, Lu Shao felt a wave of nervousness and had already moved to support Su Ran before he could speak. Lu Shao helped Su Ran sit up straight, then crouched down in front of her and helped her put on her shoes.

Looking at Lu Shao’s cautious appearance, Su Ran raised an eyebrow, originally wanting to say, aren’t you being a bit too dramatic? But she saw Lu Shao squatting in front of her at the moment, his gaze full of inquiry and anticipation as he stared at her belly.

“Pfft,” finally, unable to hold back, Su Ran chuckled softly, and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

“A 7-week embryo, there’s nothing there yet, what are you looking at?” Su Ran couldn’t help but say, raising her hand to cover Lu Shao’s eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Shao chuckled, took Su Ran’s hand away from his eyes, and kissed it.

“I was just thinking, will it be a daughter or a son in there?”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s heart also skipped a beat.

“Do you want a son or a daughter?”

“Daughter.” Lu Shao said with certainty.

It would be best if she were a daughter like Su Ran.

“I, I also hope it’s a daughter.” Su Ran nodded and said with gleaming eyes.

“Soft, tender, and cute. I can dress her up like a little princess. She’ll be so cute.”

When it came to her daughter, Su Ran couldn’t help but get excited all of a sudden.

“Oh, right. You need to prepare a super cute room for her.” Su Ran said, pulling Lu Shao.

“Okay.” Lu Shao nodded, a smile also appearing on his face.

“Then we can teach her to sing, her baby voice will definitely be especially cute.”

“Yes.”

“Also, take her to learn ballet, at the place we passed by last time!”

The last time the two went to pick up Su Han, they saw a ballet school. Su Ran saw the little kids inside wearing pink ballet skirts and learning to dance. It was so cute!

Yes, and buy her lots of pretty clothes. ……

Su Ran was fantasizing in her mind. But at this moment.

“What if it’s a son?” Su Han, who was leaning against the door, finally couldn’t listen anymore and spoke up in a languid voice.

Su Ran had not noticed her son at the door before, but when she heard Su Han’s voice, she was taken aback at first, then her face flushed, and she pushed Lu Shao in front of her, signaling for him to stand up.

If it were a son… That would be too unlovable.

Su Ran glanced at her increasingly unlovable son and silently complained in her heart.

The next second, as if receiving Su Ran’s disdainful gaze, Su Han coughed dryly and said again: “However, I also hope it’s a younger sister.” Hearing her son’s words full of will to live, Su Ran also smiled.

“Right, your sister is cuter, so you should take good care of her in the future.”

The scene of the older brother taking care of his younger sister was simply too loving.

“Oh.” Su Han replied coolly. But he couldn’t help but think to himself: How could this woman be so sure that it would be a girl?

Lu Shao, who had stood up, took in the look of disapproval on Su Han’s face, gave his son a warning glance, and then turned his attention to Su Ran.

“Go home?”

“Okay, good.”

Seeing Su Ran nod, Lu Shao directly leaned over and carried her down.

“Be careful!” Su Han said this.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shao turned his eyes and glanced at Su Han indifferently. He didn’t speak, but his movements became more cautious.

The way he held her was like he was holding something precious in his hands, or rather, two precious things.

Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated? Su Ran thought to herself.

However, looking at the father and son, one with a face full of tension and the other pretending not to be nervous, Su Ran smiled and finally held back from saying that sentence.

……

The Lu family’s actions could be described as very efficient. When Su Ran and the others returned home, the family had already prepared a large number of things needed for pregnancy. Even more exaggerated was the fact that all the furniture had already been fitted with anti-collision strips.

“Sir, most of the house has been safety-proofed. Also, because of the rush, the preparations may not be complete. We will arrange for anything missing as soon as possible.”

“Also, we are still looking for a dedicated chef for the kitchen. In the meantime, I have arranged for the kitchen to prepare nutritious, low-fat meals.”

The housekeeper said from the side. Upon hearing this, Lu Shao nodded and gave him an approving look.

……

The main house was well-prepared, but the three of them didn’t stay there for many days before returning to their house in the Xingfuli neighborhood.

Su Ran didn’t ask for this, but Mr. Lu insisted on it. As for the reason, Mr. Lu felt that the main house was too big, and he couldn’t keep an eye on Su Ran all the time, so he was worried.

So, he handed over the company to Yan Yi and Zhou Fu, and by the way, he also handed over his son to these two people. Mr. Lu completely started his “paternity leave”.

In the eighth week, Su Ran’s morning sickness started to get worse, and then she realized why the recipe that Du Wentao’s mother had mentioned before was so good.

At home, Mr. Lu basically made every dish on the menu for Su Ran. Originally, Su Ran thought that Lu Shao should have gained a lot of weight, after all, the food that she didn’t want to eat was basically eaten by Mr. Lu in the end.

In the end, he didn’t. The only explanation was that Lu’s father was too worried and stressed.

For this matter, Su Ran even searched for many movies online for the two of them to watch, but the results were minimal.

“Xiao Ran,”

“Hmm.” On the sofa, held in Lu Shao’s arms, she vaguely heard him calling her name. Su Ran lazily responded.

“Wake up, I’ll carry you to the room to sleep.” Lu Shao whispered in Su Ran’s ear.

“Hmm?” Su Ran came to.

“The movie.”

“It’s already finished.” Lu Shao answered.

“Oh, really?”

She had previously watched a movie called “A Certain Mountain Hike” and thought it was pretty good. She finally found the source online. She had originally planned to let Lu Shao watch it, and she would watch it a second time herself.

Then, Su Ran herself didn’t know when she fell asleep. When I woke up, the movie was over?

“Did you finish watching it?”

“Yes.”

“Any thoughts?” Su Ran blinked and looked at Lu Shao, asking.

“Human nature?” Lu Shao asked.

“Uh, there is, is there anything else?”

“Affection and sacrifice?”

“Not that.”

“That was a disaster and helplessness?”

“Not really.”

Seeing Su Ran’s serious expression, Lu Shao couldn’t help but chuckle twice.

“What is it then?”

“Did you see the pregnant woman inside? She was the last one alive?” Su Ran asked.

“Let the woman and the child leave first? Is that what you mean?” Lu Shao nodded and asked again.

“No, no, I wanted to tell you that pregnant women aren’t actually that fragile,” she said. Then, feeling that what she said wasn’t convincing enough, Su Ran added, “Look, there was this pregnant woman who encountered a zombie apocalypse and had to run around to escape. In the end, wasn’t her baby still safe and sound in her belly?”

“So, you really don’t need to be so nervous.” Su Ran looked at Lu Shao and said seriously.

After hearing Su Ran’s words, Lu Shao hooked the corner of his mouth again.

“I know, I’ll try my best to adjust.” Lu Shao said softly, placing a kiss on Su Ran’s forehead.

“Go to sleep. I’ll take you for a prenatal checkup tomorrow.”

“Su Han, he…”

“Su Han went to the company today to learn how to handle some things. It happened that there was a contract renewal, so I let him watch from the side. It was too late, so I asked Zhou Fu to send him directly back to the main house,” Lu Shao said.

“Don’t put too much pressure on him.”

“Don’t worry, I know the limits.”

“Yes.” Upon hearing this, Su Ran nodded. That night, after Lu Shao had finished all the housework and taken care of his personal needs, he got back into bed, but Su Ran was not yet asleep.

Feeling the person next to her lie down, Su Ran closed her eyes and naturally snuggled up to the other person. Then, Su Ran felt that Lu Shao seemed to have placed his hand on her abdomen that was already slightly protruding.

“Baby, I’m daddy.” Lu Shao’s voice rang in Su Ran’s ear.

However, she was certain that Lu Shao’s words were definitely not meant for her. If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, Su Ran felt that she couldn’t have imagined that Mr. Lu could have such a scene.

“Pfft……” Sorry, she really didn’t mean to laugh, but she couldn’t help it.

“Mr. Lu, the baby is only three months old now. She can’t hear what you’re saying.” Su Ran blinked and opened her eyes, looking at Lu Shao with a hint of amusement in her voice.

“Really?” There was no sign of being unheard, but Lu Shao’s voice seemed to carry a hint of disappointment?

“Well, you have to wait until you’re about five months along,” Su Ran said.

“And,” Su Ran paused, blinked, and said slowly, “Her name isn’t baby. She has a name.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shao was slightly taken aback.

“Hmm? What’s her name?”

“Lu Xiaonuan, I just made it up today,” Su Ran smiled, and then asked with some pride, “How is it? Does it sound good?”

Although, the origin of the name “Lu Xiaonuan” was a bit rash. Since their son was named Su Han, their daughter would be named “Nuan”.* TN: Han is cold and Nuan is warm

Two words, it was obvious that they were siblings. Besides, it didn’t matter if it was a little rash. Anyway, it was a nickname.

Other people’s nicknames were Gou Sheng, Er Gouzi*, etc. Their family’s Lu Xiaonuan already sounded very nice. TN: dog and dog no.2 lol

Hearing Su Ran’s words, Lu Shao couldn’t help but smile too.

“It sounds great,” Lu Shao said with a chuckle.

Then, Lu Shao lowered his head again, gently looking at Su Ran’s belly, and said, “Lu Xiaonuan, be good, don’t make your mom too uncomfortable, okay?”
