Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 376: The New Dad-to-Be

Luo Yanran’s smile was sweet as she said, "It’s not exactly a New Year’s gift, but I think you’ll really like it."

As she spoke, she let go of Xie Xiao’s neck, "I’ll go get it for you."

Xie Xiao also let her go and watched her happily walk to the bedroom.

Xie Xiao reached for some cherries and popped them into his mouth, his previously gloomy mood lifted by Luo Yanran’s playful attitude and the mention of a gift.

But they had just come back a day ago, and he hadn’t seen her go out, had he?

When had she prepared the gift?

This year, because of issues at Qi Yan’s company, they had come back on the fifth day of the new year.

Luo Yanran didn’t start work until the eighth, so they had both been at home these past few days.

Even for groceries, they had relied on delivery services, mostly because they were too lazy.

Xie Xiao couldn’t help but guess, could it have been prepared before the New Year?

Before he could figure it out, Luo Yanran, dressed in fluffy pajamas, came out.

Xie Xiao glanced at her hands and saw no gift box or anything of that sort.

So the gift must not be big.

Luo Yanran walked up to Xie Xiao, smiled, and said, "Hand."

Xie Xiao obediently extended his hand.

Then he saw Luo Yanran place a small sealed bag in his hand.

Inside the bag was something resembling a stick.

Xie Xiao was momentarily stunned before realizing this thing looked somewhat familiar?

He picked it up for a closer look— a pregnancy test?

Two lines?

Xie Xiao was momentarily baffled and looked up at Luo Yanran.

Luo Yanran had a smile on her face and bright eyes, and she said with a smile as she met Xie Xiao’s gaze, "Congratulations, you’re going to be a dad."

Xie Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, his gaze falling on Luo Yanran’s still flat stomach and slender waist.

It didn’t look like...

she was pregnant at all?

But then a surge of immense joy made his eyes widen as he looked again at the pregnancy test with two lines in his hand, then reached out to embrace Luo Yanran.

But he had barely extended his hand when his movement froze.

He quickly stood up, pulling Luo Yanran to sit down, "How... how is this so sudden? Sit down, should we get something to eat? Do you feel uncomfortable? Should I contact the hospital, when should we go for a check-up?"

Xie Xiao’s mind was a complete mess now, with only one thought remaining: his wife was pregnant.

There was a child in her belly.

But he hadn’t had time to prepare. What should expectant parents do?

What kind of discomfort might his wife experience during pregnancy?

Xie Xiao was somewhat annoyed that he had never taken the time to learn about these things.

"I need to buy some books to read…"

Before he could finish, Luo Yanran reached out and grabbed his hand, Xie Xiao was taken aback, stared straight at her, and asked anxiously, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?"

Luo Yanran looked at his nervous and clueless expression, her heart filled with sweetness, "No. Sit down, don’t be so nervous!"

Xie Xiao’s body stiffened as he followed the pressure of Luo Yanran’s hand and sat down next to her.

Then Luo Yanran wrapped her arm around Xie Xiao’s, rested her face on his shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you happy?"

"I’m a bit nervous," Xie Xiao confessed frankly, "I didn’t expect it so soon…"

After all, they had never really planned specifically when to have children.

From their conversations, it seemed that there was no rush to have a child.

They were still too young.

Although the family would subtly nudge them about it, no one put overt pressure on them.

But the child came so suddenly...

Xie Xiao recalled for a moment, "Was it that time before the New Year when the company went to the hot springs for team building?"

Luo Yanran nodded a bit embarrassedly, "It should be..."

After all, that was the only time they hadn’t taken any precautions.

Xie Xiao glanced at her belly again and asked cautiously, "May I touch it?"

Luo Yanran had actually been a bit nervous at first.

After all, the previous few times they discussed children, Xie Xiao seemed not to be in a hurry.

So she thought that Xie Xiao might not be surprised by the child’s sudden arrival now.

But seeing his expression now, Luo Yanran suddenly felt relieved.

What’s there not to love? He’s absolutely thrilled.

She reached out, took Xie Xiao’s hand, and placed it on her still flat belly, "Don’t be nervous. You probably can’t feel anything yet."

Xie Xiao’s hand rested on Luo Yanran’s belly. Of course, he couldn’t feel anything, but he couldn’t help being happy.

Inside was a child belonging to him and Ranran.

He reached out and embraced Luo Yanran, his palm still quietly resting on her belly.

"I, I’m a bit overwhelmed, but I’m really overjoyed," Xie Xiao’s voice took on a childlike tone, his face breaking into a silly smile, "Here, we have our child now."

Luo Yanran also laughed, "Right, maybe he’s (she’s) in there laughing at his (her) silly dad right now."

But Xie Xiao still couldn’t control the silly smile on his face, and he leaned in to kiss Luo Yanran’s cheek, "Thanks, my hardworking wife."

Luo Yanran placed her hand on his, "It’s not hard. I’m happy. You must really like the child, right?"

Xie Xiao responded softly, "I do like him, it’s our child, of course I like him."

Luo Yanran smiled too, "That’s good to hear."

New parents have much to learn.

Xie Xiao needs to learn, and so does Luo Yanran. Discover hidden content at novelbuddy

It’s mainly that Xie Xiao seemed to have fallen into a state of high anxiety since Luo Yanran became pregnant.

The main manifestation was that he started treating Luo Yanran like she was made of fragile glass.

Picking her up from work every day, even if he was very busy with his own job, he would choose to bring documents home to work on.

He made sure to pick Luo Yanran up from work on time, no matter what.

Only the living room and bedroom had carpets before, but now, it’s carpeted everywhere.

Even the kitchen.

Most importantly, at home, Xie Xiao wouldn’t let Luo Yanran do anything.

Luo Yanran was indulgent of Xie Xiao at first.

After all, he was a new dad, which is normal.

But after living this way for a month, Luo Yanran was already three months pregnant.

Her belly still wasn’t showing much.

But the doctor said the child was very healthy.

Luo Yanran had just stood up to walk a few steps when Xie Xiao came out of the study room, "Do you need to fetch something? Or do you want to eat something?"

His expression was still very tense.

Luo Yanran glanced at him. "Neither, I’m going to the bathroom."

Xie Xiao immediately responded, "I’ll take you."

Luo Yanran couldn’t stand it anymore, placing her hand firmly on Xie Xiao’s face.

Xie Xiao, still anxious, protected her, "What’s wrong with being careful?"

Luo Yanran said word for word, "Do you want to make me feel like some sort of clumsy disabled person?"

Xie Xiao furrowed his brow, quickly covering her mouth. "What are you talking about?"

"I’m really fine." Luo Yanran pulled down his hand and said deflatedly.
