Chapter 520: Chapter 518: Pregnancy 5_1

Hearing that, Lu Fan and Xia Ningxing both helplessly twitched the corners of their lips.

What kind of look was that, where did they get the idea that they were about to come to blows?

"You’re overthinking it, how could we possibly start fighting? We were just discussing some matters and got a little loud, that’s all." Lu Fan walked over to her side, patted her shoulder, and gestured for her to be at ease.

Tao Tao couldn’t help being curious, looking at her and then at Xia Ningxing, "So, what were you two talking about just now?"

"Taozi, I’m pregnant," Xia Ningxing said to her with a warm smile.

"Pregnant!?" Upon hearing this, Tao Tao was stunned, and it took her a moment to come around, her face alight with joy as she stared at her belly, "Xiaxia, congratulations, you’re going to be a mother!"

After she spoke, she almost guessed why the two of them were arguing.

She immediately glared at Lu Fan, "Getting pregnant is obviously a good thing, why would you get angry with her, are movies more important or the child more important?"

"Of course, the child is more important!" Lu Fan dared not contradict his wife’s words and hastily fawned over her in agreement.

He added, "Moreover, I’ve already thought it through, everything can wait until the sister-in-law gives birth."

"That’s more like it!" Tao Tao smiled, and then pulled Xia Ningxing aside to discuss some daily routines for pregnant women.

Lu Fan watched the two pregnant women and silently picked up his laptop to go out and work, leaving the office for them.

However, Xia Ningxing didn’t stay in the room for long because her morning sickness was too severe, and she felt more comfortable resting at home.

"Xiaxia, you’re skilled in pharmacology, why don’t you mix up a few prescriptions for yourself?" Before sending her away, Tao Tao’s face was full of concern, wishing she could endure the torment on her behalf.

"I remember I used to vomit severely, but after drinking the prescription you made, I never had morning sickness again."

Even though taking medicine during pregnancy isn’t good, Xia Ningxing could make completely non-toxic drugs.

Speaking of this, Xia Ningxing sighed helplessly, "I did make some, and I’ve tried several different prescriptions, but none of them work on me, I still have to vomit when I have to."

Logically this shouldn’t happen, but the fact remained as such.

There was no helping it.

Tao Tao sighed again, "But with you vomiting like this, what about the wedding in a few days?"

Xia Ningxing was also helpless, "If it really doesn’t work out, we can just hold the ceremony after the birth."

In fact, as long as she and the boss could live happily, she didn’t care about the rest of the external trappings.

In the midst of talking, Xia Ningxing felt like vomiting again.

Tao Tao quickly gave her a gentle pat on the back, "Xiaxia, you should head back and rest more. Don’t worry about the company, Lu Fan will take care of it and nothing will go wrong."

"Taozi, please thank Lu Fan for me," Ningxing said after she stabilized, patting her hand.

Without Lu Fan, this capable general, she surely would have been overwhelmed with busyness in the past two years, and the superstar wouldn’t have achieved such impressive performance so quickly.

"We’re all family, no need to be so formal," Tao Tao smiled at her, watching as she left.

After Xia Ningxing got home, she drank some soup and then lay down in bed to sleep.

Since becoming pregnant, she had been more prone to sleepiness and nausea than the average pregnant woman.

But strangely, she didn’t harbor any resentment or the urge to lose her temper at all in her heart.

She was solely focused on wishing for the child to be born safe and sound.

Perhaps this was motherhood.

Of course, she couldn’t disassociate it from Lu Tingli, Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Lu, who loved her earnestly, accommodated her, allowing her, even in the torment of pregnancy, to not have the slightest inclination to be irritable.

As she slept, Xia Ningxing drowsily felt someone coming.

Although her vigilance had greatly diminished after becoming pregnant, Xia Ningxing still tried hard to open her eyes.

Only after seeing the person in front of her did Xia Ningxing breathe a sigh of relief, a smile emerging on her stunningly beautiful face, "Lu, you’re back!"

"I’m back..."

As the man responded, he looked at her face, which was clearly paler than before, with heartache.

She had become so haggard in just a few days.

"This kid is too naughty. Once it’s born, I’ll definitely give it a good beating to avenge you."

Lu Tingli stared at Xia Ningxing’s belly, saying resolutely.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh, gently scolding him, "What nonsense are you spouting! If you hurt it, I won’t forgive you!"

Lu Tingli wrapped her in his arms, "I suppose this little fellow is tough-skinned and hardy, it won’t be harmed easily."

"That still doesn’t mean you can beat it!" The child wasn’t even born yet, and its father had already planned to give it a thrashing. How absurd!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but glare at him.

"Alright, alright, no beating," Lu Tingli usually didn’t dare to contradict her, let alone at such a critical time.

Only then did Xia Ningxing show a satisfied smile.

The baby in the belly: ... That was close!

"By the way, Lu, let’s postpone the ceremony, I feel too awful, I don’t have any strength at all every day," Xia Ningxing said softly as she nestled in his embrace.

It wasn’t that she was being overly sentimental; she truly felt terrible.

Acid kept surging up from her stomach, and she couldn’t control the urge to vomit violently.

If she were to hold the wedding in this state, it would likely turn into her personal vomiting ceremony rather than a wedding!

"I’ll listen to you," Lu Tingli said tenderly, stroking her head with affection.

Actually, he had the same thought.

Rather than suffering through the ceremony with vomiting and agony, it would be better to wait until the child was born, so they could hold the wedding clean and tidy, putting a satisfying full stop on the only wedding ceremony of their lives.

Without leaving any regrets.

Seeing him agree, Xia Ningxing poked his chest and added, "Then I’ll talk to mom and dad about it during dinner tonight, and tomorrow we’ll go to grandpa’s together to tell him again."

"No problem." Lu Tingli’s handsome face was draped with a tender smile, nodding with laughter.

That evening, Xia Ningxing spoke with Mrs. Xia and the others about it.

Mrs. Xia naturally had no objections.

Next was the old man.

Early the next morning, Lu Tingli drove Xia Ningxing to the old house.

Upon arriving at the old house, before Xia Ningxing could enter, the old man had already hurried over upon hearing the news, "Xingxing, what are you doing running around while pregnant? All you had to do was give me a call, and I would’ve come to you, right?"

Xia Ningxing smiled helplessly, "You’re the elder, and I, as the younger one, couldn’t possibly trouble you to run errands."

"Hey, what’s the use of caring about such worldly etiquette!"

While chiding her with care, he carefully and tenderly supported her as if she were a precious treasure, afraid that she might stumble and fall. "Slow down, slow down, this threshold is too high, you must be careful not to trip. Really, I don’t know what they were thinking making it so high; I’ll have someone remove it right away!"

If possible, the old man would have loved to stomp the threshold flat himself, so as to protect his granddaughter-in-law and the great-grandson or great-granddaughter in her belly from stumbling over it.
