Chapter 1604: Ruhua Is Pregnant

The two, hearing Chuxue's question, immediately hopped apart.

Fu Yan Cheng spoke first: "Wife, don't misunderstand; this guy is about to become a father and got too excited."

Shen Kaiyuan also came to his senses then: "Sister-in-law, I was just too happy and lost my composure; you must not misunderstand."

Chuxue looked at him: "Ruhua is pregnant?"

Shen Kaiyuan's face was full of smiles as he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, she is."

Chuxue looked toward their courtyard: "Where is she? Has she returned?"

Saying this, she turned and started to walk out: "I'll go see her."

But she had only taken a few steps when Shen Kaiyuan called out to stop her: "Sister-in-law, she returned to the city yesterday afternoon and isn't home; I just received the call."

Fu Yan Cheng understood now; it was because his wife wasn't at the military district that he had gotten so excited and rushed over here to act crazy.

Shen Kaiyuan calmed down slightly then, saw Fu Yan Cheng's disgusted expression, and quickly clasped his hands together: "Sorry, brother; I was just too happy. Given our relationship, you can't be angry with me."

Fu Yan Cheng gave him a look that said you know your place: "Alright; your family has waited so long. Since this is indeed good news, I won't hold it against you."

Having said that, he looked at Chuxue: "Wife, are you tired? Sit for a while; I'll finish washing the diapers soon."

Thinking of something, he pushed Shen Kaiyuan down by the basin: "Fine; your wife is pregnant, so you'll have to wash diapers sooner or later. Here's a chance to learn for free."

Without caring about Shen Kaiyuan's expression, he placed the freshly scrubbed diapers on the washboard: "I've already cleaned them; you just need to rinse them a few times, wring them out, and hang them up."

Having said that, he turned and took Kangbao from Chuxue's arms: "Son, you've put on quite a bit of weight lately; Mom is tired holding you. Come, Dad will hold you."

Chuxue tugged him and looked at Shen Kaiyuan by the basin: "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yan Cheng pulled her under the osmanthus tree: "It's fine; let him experience the joy of being a father first."

Chuxue looked speechless: You call washing diapers joy?

Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Shen Kaiyuan happily start washing.

Fearing Chuxue might feel burdened, Fu Yan Cheng quickly explained: "I've already scrubbed them clean; he just needs to rinse them. Besides, he's in a good mood now, so he'd be happy to do anything you ask."

Hearing this, Shen Kaiyuan said: "Sister-in-law, he's right; I'm in a very good mood right now. Consider this me learning in advance."

Chuxue frowned slightly: "Aren't you going to the city to pick up Ruhua?"

Shen Kaiyuan didn't stop his hands, turned around, and said with regret: "Ruhua won't let me pick her up; she said she can't go out until after three months..."

At this point, he stopped: "Oh no, oh no; I really got too excited and forgot what my mother-in-law and wife told me."

Everyone in the courtyard had been through it and naturally understood what he meant.

Chuxue laughed outright: "How about we pretend we don't know for now?"

After a moment of awkwardness, Shen Kaiyuan said: "No need; given the relationship between our two families, I believe Ruhua won't be able to hide it anyway. Just wait and see."

Chuxue brought up the old topic again: "Aren't you going to the city to pick her up?"

Shen Kaiyuan glanced toward the gate: "My mother-in-law said her cousin's uncle happens to be driving there for business today; she'll personally bring her back in a while."

While speaking, Shen Kaiyuan had already washed and wrung out several diapers.

Seeing that the younger ones were settled, Auntie Wei stepped forward to take over: "Your wife's pregnancy is a big matter; do you want to go home and tidy up, then head to the main gate to pick her up early?"
