Chapter 1071: Du Xi is Pregnant!

Tang Ye returned to Hanzhou one day early.

Du Chengfeng found Tang Ye's return quite strange.

Because Dou Fanggang's medical condition needed to be kept confidential, Tang Ye could only tell a white lie, claiming he was going to the hospital tomorrow to visit an old classmate.

Du Chengfeng did not continue to press the matter.

That night, after Tang Ye and Du Xi had finished showering one after the other, Tang Ye tried to pull Du Xi into his arms, but was gently pushed away by her.

"What? Is it not convenient?"

Blushing, Du Xi took out a medical examination report and handed it to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye saw the medical report, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, "Is this... pregnant?"

A wave of wild joy rushed from his chest straight to the top of his head.

He and Du Xi had been married for several years without any news, and many rumors had spread in the outside world.

Many people said that Tang Ye was a silver-plated pewter spearhead—good to look at but useless.

Tang Ye had always silently endured the questioning and grievances.

Now, he finally had a chance to prove himself.

Du Xi nodded slightly, "I felt unwell a few days ago, and then my period didn't come on time this month, so I used a pregnancy test stick to check first. Although the result came out, I wasn't at ease, so I went to get a blood test. Husband, you'll need to be patient for this period of time; the doctor warned that one must exercise restraint during both the early and late stages of pregnancy."

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud and kissed Du Xi on the forehead, "Don't worry, I will control my desires. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Du Xi said with a smile, "I only found out yesterday too. Didn't you say you were coming back to Hanzhou? I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Tang Ye carefully leaned toward Du Xi's abdomen, "Hey, it seems to be moving."

Du Xi couldn't help but laugh, pinching her pinky finger, and said crossly, "It's at most the size of a fingernail right now, how could it be moving!"

Tang Ye took a deep breath, "Does Mom know about this?"

Du Xi shook her head, "Didn't they say to keep it confidential for the first three months? Besides, I wanted you to be the first to know."

Tang Ye kissed Du Xi's cheek and sighed with emotion, "It's true there's no need to be so high-profile for now. But Mom and Dad can still know this good news."

Having said that, he immediately dialed Xiao Qin's number.

Xiao Qin was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Tang Ye in the middle of the night.

Because at this time of night, he generally wouldn't call her.

After the call connected, Tang Ye's voice, unable to contain his joy, came through.

"Mom, I have some good news to tell you. Du Xi is pregnant."

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Qin sat bolt upright, her eyes full of shock, "Really? You aren't lying to me, are you?"

"It's true, she went to get a blood test by herself."

Xiao Qin exhaled heavily, "Why is this child so reserved? When encountering something like this, she should have told me so I could go with her."

Tang Ye explained for Du Xi, "She was worried about being disappointed; one person being disappointed is better than two."

Hearing this, Du Xi's internal defenses instantly collapsed.

From this one sentence, she knew that Tang Ye truly understood her.

Seeing tears welling up in the corners of Du Xi's eyes, Tang Ye was startled and said to Xiao Qin, "Mom, let's end the call here for now; please notify my mom on your end."

Xiao Qin hummed in agreement, covering the phone, taking a long time to calm her emotions.

Du Chengfeng, who was beside her, had already heard the commotion and asked softly at this moment, "Is Du Xi pregnant?"

Xiao Qin nodded vigorously, "Yes, you are about to become a grandfather!"

The usually composed Du Chengfeng could no longer control his emotions; he jumped straight off the bed and danced around the room, "Haha, I'm going to have a grandchild."

Having said that, Du Chengfeng walked straight out of the room.

Xiao Qin looked at him in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Du Chengfeng said proudly, "I'm going to think of names for the child."

Xiao Qin was speechless, "The child won't be born for a long time yet; you have plenty of time to think about it slowly!"

Du Chengfeng shook his head and said seriously, "I need to pick a few more names. The names must sound good, be easy to remember, and match the birth date and horoscope."

It was the first time Xiao Qin had seen her husband like this, and she shook her head and sighed helplessly.

She could only say that Du Chengfeng was too happy.

Even a Deputy Department Level Official would lose control of their emotions when encountering such a good thing.

Subsequently, Xiao Qin dialed Qin Lan's number.

"In-law, there is something I must tell you. Du Xi is pregnant."

Qin Lan's reaction was similar to Xiao Qin's, "Really? That's wonderful."

Xiao Qin sighed, "It's absolutely true. Du Xi was afraid we would be disappointed, so she didn't tell us and went to get the check-up herself."

Qin Lan said with emotion, "This child has had it too hard. I'll go tell Old Tang right away."

Qin Lan then dialed Tang Yu's number.

The usually calm Tang Yu also revealed a smile on his face upon learning the news.

Seeing Tang Yu's face full of joy after finishing the call, the other doctors on the team asked curiously, "Dean Tang, did you encounter some happy event?"

Tang Yu said with a smile, "It's nothing major. My daughter-in-law is pregnant."

"Congratulations, Dean Tang!"

"Dean Tang is going to be a grandfather, and you say this isn't a major event? You really are composed!"

"Dean Tang, you're in a good mood today, are you going to treat us?"

Tang Yu waved his hand and instructed his assistant, "No problem! Arrange KFC for the doctors in Neurosurgery!"

"Yay! That's great!"

"The stingy Dean Tang is finally being generous for once!"

Tang Ye subsequently received a call from Qin Lan.

Qin Lan said, "Such a big matter, why didn't you tell me!"

Tang Ye laughed, "I only just found out myself! If you want to blame someone, blame your daughter-in-law for being too good at keeping secrets."

Qin Lan said crossly, "Why blame her? Think of how much she suffered to conceive this child. Besides, this is only the beginning; from now on, you must take good care of her and not let her get angry."

Tang Ye was caught between laughter and tears, "I know, I will be careful."

"Give the phone to Du Xi, I want to say a few words to her," Qin Lan said softly.

Tang Ye handed the phone to Du Xi.

Du Xi called out, "Mom."

A wave of warmth filled Qin Lan's heart, "From now on, never face problems alone again. I have always treated you like a daughter. From now on, I will accompany you to every prenatal check-up. It is not easy for a woman to have a child, and I will take good care of you. By the way, why don't you ask for leave from your workplace and rest at home for a while? The first three months are especially important."

Du Xi said softly, "Mom, I still want to go to work. Given my personality, I can't stay at home. My body is very healthy and not that fragile."

Although Qin Lan was a bit worried, she still admired Du Xi's independence and resilience, "I respect your opinion. I will bring you soup tomorrow at noon; what kind of soup would you like to drink?"

Du Xi said with a smile, "As long as it's made by you, I'll love it!"

Because of their excitement, the two chatted until very late.

In the darkness, Tang Ye looked at Du Xi's sleeping, serene face, and a sense of fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

Starting from today, he had one more reason to strive!
