Lu Zheng returned home from work at noon and was welcomed by Lin Xia, her face flushed with excitement as she stood at the doorway.
Gazing into his clear eyes, she seemed a mix of joy and anxiety with a hint of uncertainty.
"You're back!"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile and ask, "Wife! What's the matter with you?"
Lin Xia's appearance, so visibly happy yet seemingly incredibly nervous, was something he had never seen before, despite knowing her for so long.
He couldn't help but feel a skip in his heart, unsure of what could have happened at home after he left.
Lin Xia tightly grasped his arm, biting her lip gently, and took a deep breath before saying, "I don't know if it's because... I felt nauseous when I was brushing my teeth, and then it occurred to me that I was a few days late..."
She said this and then glanced down at her stomach.
She knew how much Lu Zheng wanted a child, that his hidden longing was no less intense than hers.
