Chapter 1298: Shishi Is Pregnant
After hanging up the phone, Liou Qingcheng was already awake. She lay on Lin Tian’s arm, sleepily asking, "From the voice, it sounded like Genius, right?"
Lin Tian nodded noncommittally. Then he said, "He’s working with Wu Yong at Black Gold now; he just called to discuss something"
Liou Qingcheng didn’t continue asking. Instead, she touched her flat stomach and said, "I’m hungry. Let’s go out and eat something."
Lin Tian smacked her on her firm backside and said with a strange laugh, "Can you still walk?"
"Hmph, of course, I can. After eating and coming back, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed tomorrow."
Just as Lin Tian wanted to scold her a little, his phone rang again, but this time it was Bai Shishi.
He answered the call and put it on speaker. With their relationship out in the open, there was no need to hide when making calls.
"Missing me?" Lin Tian teased into the phone.
"..." There was no response from the other side.
"What’s the matter? Speak up."
"Phew..." Bai Shishi’s long sigh came through the phone, and she couldn’t suppress the joy and melancholy in her heart as she spoke complicatedly, "Lin Tian, something big happened..."
Upon hearing Bai Shishi’s tone and this sentence, Lin Tian’s heart started to race as well. He picked up the phone and held it in front of him, asking, "What happened? Take your time; don’t rush to tell me. By the way, where are you now? I’ll head over right now."
"I’m at home with Ruyan now; we just got the pregnancy test results from the hospital... I’m pregnant. It should have happened just a few days ago," Bai Shishi said.
Lin Tian was stunned with the phone in his hand. Hearing this news, a surge of joy filled his heart, and he couldn’t help but wish he could be in front of Bai Shishi right now, touching her belly to feel the new life developing inside.
"Speak up."
Liou Qingcheng took the phone from Lin Tian’s hand, smiling as she said, "Shishi, he’s grinning like an idiot. Where’s your house? We’ll come over now."
Hearing Liou Qingcheng’s voice, Bai Shishi felt complex emotions, then urged, "Lin Tian knows the address, hurry and come over. Also, Qingcheng, you should get checked soon too; you might be expecting as well."
Liou Qingcheng’s face flushed instantly, and she instinctively touched her stomach, but all she felt was hunger.
Lin Tian snapped back to reality and said quickly, "Wait for me; I’ll come pick you up now. Don’t wander off!"
Hearing Lin Tian’s frantic voice, Bai Shishi couldn’t help but laugh and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian didn’t rush to get dressed. Instead, he pulled Liou Qingcheng’s arm over and checked her pulse.
Liou Qingcheng knew what he was doing, and her cheeks grew even redder. She attentively watched Lin Tian’s expression change, but to her disappointment, Lin Tian’s face showed no expression. She couldn’t help but urge, "What’s the outcome? Speak up."
Lin Tian released Liou Qingcheng’s pulse and said with a chuckle, "Nothing yet. We still need more efforts."
"Get lost~"
Afterwards, they quickly got dressed and got into the car, picking up some bread and juice on the way to tide them over.
Without speeding, Lin Tian got to Bai Shishi’s villa in the quickest possible time. He jumped out of the car and rushed inside.
With a key to the door, Lin Tian didn’t knock; he unlocked, changed his shoes, and went in.
The 55-inch LCD TV was playing a Korean drama. Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan were sitting on the living room sofa, talking softly, hardly paying attention to the TV.
"You’re here," Bai Shishi said with a smile, resting her hands on her stomach.
Bai Shishi’s demeanor had changed slightly compared to a few days ago. Her smile now carried a hint of maternal femininity; her beautiful eyes, when smiling, appeared filled with gentleness.
"Mm."
Lin Tian responded, stepping forward quickly, "Let me take a look."
As he spoke, he gently checked Bai Shishi’s pulse, his serious face gradually breaking into a smile, spreading rapidly and brilliantly.
"Let me feel it."
Lin Tian slipped his hand under Bai Shishi’s shirt, feeling her smooth and tender skin. Unsatisfied, he pressed his ear against her belly to listen for a while.
Bai Shishi gently combed through Lin Tian’s hair, tenderly.
Suddenly, Lin Tian lifted his head and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Has this little guy been kicking your stomach?"
"Puchi~" The three women couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Bai Shishi lightly tapped Lin Tian’s forehead with her finger, coyly saying, "You’re supposed to be a doctor, yet you’re acting silly now that you’re going to be a dad. It’s so early on; how could it possibly kick me?"
Lin Tian nodded in agreement, "That’s true. But pregnancy is crucial in the early stage; lots of rest is needed. Secondly, diet matters, plus regular exercise like walking, swimming, dancing, yoga. Finally, and most importantly, put down any work that can be;
"But... there’s still a lot to handle at the company..."
Lin Tian looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Are those things more important than our child?"
This made Bai Shishi’s smile become gentle again, and she nodded lightly, saying with a smile, "Okay, I’ll make sure to rest more."
Liou Qingcheng and Mei Ruyan sat beside them, smiling. They were happy for Bai Shishi and teased Lin Tian for being so silly despite becoming a father-to-be.
Lin Tian sat beside Bai Shishi, letting her lean on his shoulder. He asked softly, "Have you told your dad about this? Isn’t he recuperating here? Is he asleep?"
"My dad’s not here; his health has improved quite a bit lately, so he went abroad with some friends to relax. The time difference means it’s late night there, not a good time to call." Bai Shishi said softly, "Also, I planned to tell your parents, but I think it’s more fitting for you to do it."
Rubbing Bai Shishi’s head, Lin Tian looked at the three women and said, "How about this, tomorrow I’ll bring you all back for a meal. I’ll tell them face-to-face tomorrow. If I were to call them now, they’d be too excited to sleep, and then come over first thing, dragging you three to the mall to buy everything for their future grandson or granddaughter."
Upon hearing that Lin Tian wanted to bring her to meet his parents, a trace of panic appeared on Bai Shishi’s flushed face. She nervously played with her clothes, looking every bit the bashful young girl.
Even as the boss of a large corporation, managing thousands of employees without any stage fright, the thought of meeting the in-laws still increased her heartbeat.
