Chapter 1052: She Is Pregnant

"I..."

Liu Xin'ai did not expect that she had failed so miserably at concealing her feelings, and she could not help but hesitate for two seconds.

Immediately after, she heard Jiang Baobao also speak up: "Xinaijie, if you have encountered something, you really can tell us; we will be very good listeners."

Liu Xin'ai looked at the two people in front of her, feeling a bit warm inside.

However, there was really no need for her to speak of those troublesome matters and add to their worries as well.

After a long moment, Liu Xin'ai smiled.

"It's nothing, just some daily trifles. My father's condition hasn't been very optimistic lately, and I'm a bit worried."

"How is your father's illness?"

Jiang Baobao asked hurriedly.

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and gave a brief explanation.

Hearing that Liu Tengnian's situation could not be considered good, the three of them fell into a brief silence.

Just at this moment, the cake Cai Xiaotang had ordered was brought over.

Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly tried to liven up the atmosphere: "Xinaijie, they say the new almond cake here is especially delicious! Try it! Eating something sweet will make you feel better!"

She enthusiastically cut a piece of cake and placed it in front of Liu Xin'ai.

She then cut a piece for Jiang Baobao, and only then did it become her turn.

"Thank you."

Liu Xin'ai forked a small piece, gently placed it into her mouth, tasted it for a few seconds, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Mm, it is indeed very delicious."

Jiang Baobao tasted a piece and followed up with praise: "Delicious, Xiao Tang's taste really never goes wrong!"

"Is that so? Then let me try!"

Hearing them rate it so highly, Cai Xiaotang was also a bit impatient and directly forked a large piece and stuffed it into her mouth!

But for some reason, as soon as the taste of almond entered her mouth, her stomach immediately began to churn uncontrollably!

"Ugh..."

She nearly vomited it out directly, hurriedly pulled out a tissue, and spat all the cake she hadn't chewed twice onto the tissue.

"Xiao Tang, are you alright?"

Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai were both startled to see her suddenly like this.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was so uncomfortable that even tears welled up, and she hurriedly waved her hand.

"I'm fine... it's just that suddenly..."

She looked at the cake in front of her, puzzled, her face full of confusion.

Jiang Baobao also said in bewilderment: "I find this cake quite fresh..."

"... don't you like the taste of almonds? I remember you could eat almond cake..."

"

"I don't know either."

Cai Xiaotang also didn't understand why she had such a strong reaction, then thought for a moment, and barely found a reason: "Maybe I accidentally choked just now?"

As she spoke, she tentatively picked up the fork again, brought a small piece of cake to her lips, and tentatively smelled it.

The intense aroma of almonds rushed toward her nose.

"Ugh... cough, cough!"

This time, before it even reached her mouth, she threw down the fork, turned around, and began coughing and dry-heaving!

"Xiao Tang!"

Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai were even more surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to check on her condition.

Liu Xin'ai was even more worried: "Could it be that you ate something that upset your stomach?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Why don't we go to the Hospital and check it out now?"

"I'm fine..."

Cai Xiaotang's face was a bit pale from being tossed about by these two incidents, and she waved her hand upon hearing this.

"I just inexplicably feel a bit nauseous; as long as I don't touch that cake, it'll be fine..."

As she spoke, she pushed the cake further away.

Jiang Baobao, however, looked at her thoughtfully.

She then lowered her eyes to look at her own slightly protruding lower abdomen, and suddenly, like a flash of lightning, she thought of something.

"Xiao Tang!!!"

She excitedly grabbed Cai Xiaotang's hand.

"Ah?"

Cai Xiaotang was startled by Jiang Baobao and didn't understand why she was suddenly so excited.

Immediately after, she heard her ask excitedly: "Could it be that you are pregnant!"

"Pregnant???"

Cai Xiaotang and Liu Xin'ai spoke at the same time.

Liu Xin'ai also reacted and hurriedly chimed in: "Right! If you are pregnant, it is indeed possible to be very sensitive to the taste of ingredients that are usually fine to eat! Xiao Tang, when... was your last period?"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment as she carefully calculated in her mind.

Then she suddenly widened her eyes and said in a low voice: "It seems to have been two months ago..."

Once these words were out, Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai both had expressions of realization.

Jiang Baobao found it even more amusing, saying, "You haven't had your period for two months; didn't you even suspect anything yourself!"

"I... because I'm usually like this anyway, it's never been very regular..."

Cai Xiaotang looked full of grievance.

Because she had been too busy with work before, her period had become somewhat chaotic, and it had truly taken a long time to regulate.

It had only gradually stabilized later, but for some reason, the cycle had been extended, and it usually only came once every month and a half.

It was just that too many things had happened recently, which made her forget to keep track of the time; now that she thought about it, it had indeed been a long time since the last one!

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang looked down at her stomach, unable to accept it for a moment.

The atmosphere of the three people chatting was also disrupted by this sudden "accident."

After a while—"My Hospital is nearby, and since we are all out today anyway, why don't we... accompany you to get a check-up in a while? If it is confirmed that you are pregnant, you need to be careful as soon as possible."

Liu Xin'ai tried to suggest.

"Go in a while?"

Cai Xiaotang was startled upon hearing this, and then there was some hesitation on her face.

For some reason, she actually hoped that it was just a false alarm.

She simply was not prepared to be a mother yet.

Even if with Li Xiao... there were those few times they didn't take contraceptive measures, it shouldn't be that she really hit the jackpot, right!

"Xiao Tang?"

Jiang Baobao's voice suddenly interrupted Cai Xiaotang, who was lost in thought.

She snapped back to her senses, and then heard her gently persuade: "You don't need to be afraid, you should still go and see. It just so happens that Xinaijie and I are both here today. If you aren't pregnant, it might just be that your body is unwell; if you really are pregnant, then from now on, you must pay attention to all your diet and daily life, you cannot be careless."

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she looked down at her lower abdomen again.

It was completely flat there.

She simply had no way to imagine that there might already be a small life growing inside.

One that belonged to both her and Li Xiao.

At the thought of Li Xiao, Cai Xiaotang's mood became somewhat subtle again.

If she really was pregnant, that guy might be so happy he'd fly to the sky, right?

After thinking for a moment—Cai Xiaotang finally made up her mind.

"Then let's go! Knowing will also put my mind at ease!"

"Good, then I'll make a call and have a colleague help arrange it."

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly agreed, and as she spoke, she had already picked up her phone.

With this matter weighing on their minds, the three chatted for a while longer, then went straight to the Hospital.

Standing at the entrance of the Hospital, Cai Xiaotang's mood, which had been nervous the whole way, became even more apprehensive.

Was it really possible that she... was pregnant?
