Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai hurriedly went to fetch a pregnancy test stick, handed it to Zhang Yueran, and immediately wanted to test it, not even eating the meal first.

Wang Erhai waited outside the toilet, his face full of anxiety and expectation.

Gu Wenqing asked Wang Xiaohua in a low voice:

"Your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, have they been longing for a child all this time?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled and said:

"Of course, their careers are going smoothly, their relationship is harmonious, they just lack a child to make it complete."

And right at this moment, Zhang Yueran's joyful voice came from the toilet:

"Husband, two lines, two lines!"

Wang Erhai's face beamed with joy:

"Give it to me to see, hurry up!"

Zhang Yueran came out of the toilet, handed the pregnancy test stick to Wang Erhai, Wang Erhai looked at it, and immediately jumped on the spot with joy:

"Wife, you're finally pregnant! That's wonderful, really wonderful!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up Zhang Yueran and spin around in place!

Zhang Yueran giggled:

"Hard work pays off, we have a child now!"

Wang Xiaohua watched his Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, looking even happier than during Spring Festival, and felt happy along with them.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel moved.

This is perhaps what true love is!

If they love each other, they would surely hope to have each other's child!

Thinking back to when Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi were together, Liu Mei Qi got pregnant by accident, Wang Erhai wasn't surprised with joy, but rather broke out in a cold sweat from fright!

The contrast between the two, love and not love, is really too obvious!

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but think of himself and Li Jianjia.

Thinking back, Li Jianjia had once taken the initiative to suggest to him that she wanted to get pregnant and have a baby.

It's a pity that for Li Jianjia to smoothly take the postgraduate entrance exam as planned, Wang Xiaohua didn't quite agree with Li Jianjia's proposal, although later there were a few times they had intimate behavior without protection, but it still didn't make Li Jianjia pregnant.

If he had let Li Jianjia get pregnant back then, would she have chosen to live on strongly for the child's sake?

This question, Wang Xiaohua often blames himself for.

He refused Li Jianjia's request to get pregnant in the name of "for your own good", thinking about it now, it's obviously lacking genuine care for Li Jianjia.

"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, congratulations!"

Wang Xiaohua suppressed those complex emotions in his heart, and hurriedly expressed congratulations to Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran.

His eyes were full of envy.

Wang Erhai smiled and said:

"Third Brother, you've graduated now, you need to hurry up too!"

Then he busily said to Zhang Yueran:

"Wife, from now on you don't go to the kitchen to cook and wash bowls and chopsticks, afraid it's bad for the baby! When I get off work and come back, I'll cook for you!"

Zhang Yueran however said:

"But, you're very busy every day, if you cook after getting off work, won't it be too tiring?"

Wang Erhai said: "It's fine, can't let you eat takeout, before when you weren't pregnant we could make do, now that you're pregnant with the baby, we have to pay attention to diet!"

Wang Xiaohua said at this time:

"Why don't you hire a cooking auntie, hiring a cooking auntie won't cost much money!"

Zhang Yueran said:

"Right, why don't we just hire a cooking auntie!"

Gu Wenqing couldn't get a word in on the side, but watching them chat so happily, a smile also appeared on her face.

This evening, Gu Wenqing and Wang Xiaohua stayed one night at Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran's home.

Although this house isn't as big as Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan's villa, it also has three bedrooms and one living room of space.

So after tidying up a bit, Wang Xiaohua stayed in one room, Gu Wenqing stayed in another room, it was still barely making do.

Night was deep, Gu Wenqing lay in the room, but her mind was very clear.

She was conceiving her literary work in her mind, the more she conceived, the more excited, the more excited, the more she couldn't sleep.

Simply turned on the light, took out a notebook, started scribbling in the notebook, first get the outline done!

Wang Xiaohua also couldn't sleep, there was a sorrow hard to suppress in his heart, some scenes of Li Jianjia when she was alive, uncontrollably floated up in his mind.

"You say should we have a child or not? No child I'm afraid I'll lose you later, have a child I'm afraid we'll have conflicts."

Once Li Jianjia asked Wang Xiaohua this one sentence.

Wang Xiaohua at the time didn't take it to heart, only said:

"I respect your choice!"

Li Jianjia then said:

"Then from this time on, don't wear a condom, we'll leave it to fate, no need to specially prepare for pregnancy or anything, if we get pregnant then pregnant, if not then forget it!"

Wang Xiaohua immediately refused back then, and even said:

"Forget it. You have the postgraduate entrance examination at the end of the year. If you happen to get pregnant now, it would seriously affect your exam preparation!"

Thinking back carefully now, Li Jianjia was actually already very emotional at the time, but she kept suppressing herself, merely saying with a feigned relaxed air:

"It's fine. If I really get pregnant, that just means it's Heaven's arrangement!"

She wasn't brushing him off; she was actually crying out to Wang Xiaohua for help. The countless blows of life had already pressed her down like a drowning person, and Wang Xiaohua was the only lifeline she could grasp.

What a pity that Wang Xiaohua, clever as he usually was, reacted sluggishly on this matter.

Back then he actually lectured Li Jianjia with grand principles:

"Jianjia, do you know? I've never believed in so-called Heaven's arrangements. Our lives are determined by our own abilities and cognition. So-called fate is nothing but the choices we make at one crossroads after another in life!"

He also said:

"Marriage, pregnancy, having children — these are all extremely important choices in life. How can they be left to so-called Heaven to arrange? Being hesitant and fearful when making important life choices often leads to utter defeat. So pregnancy must be rationally and calmly planned. Do you understand what I mean?"

Imagining it now, how foolish he was. In that situation, how could he go lecturing principles!

The result he got was Li Jianjia wanting to speak but stopping, and disappointment in her heart.

"But..."

Li Jianjia's lips moved, but then she didn't say anything more.

She must have been very disappointed, very helpless at that time.

Another matter surfaced in Wang Xiaohua's mind.

It was a few days after Li Jianjia expressed she wanted to have a child; she said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Um, someone confessed to me this afternoon..."

Wang Xiaohua froze for a moment back then, then, to show his trust in Li Jianjia, said quite calmly:

"Doesn't this prove my point? You're so outstanding, and so beautiful. It's perfectly normal for a boy to confess to you."

Li Jianjia asked instead: "Aren't you jealous?"

Wang Xiaohua still didn't perceive Li Jianjia's true feelings at the time, merely saying lightly:

"What's there to be jealous of? We're husband and wife. I believe you've already rejected him. I actually feel sympathy and pity for that classmate who confessed to you. After all, the taste of being rejected isn't pleasant!"

Li Jianjia frowned:

"You're not jealous. Is that really trust, or have you stopped caring?"

Wang Xiaohua only came back to his senses after hearing this sentence.

Then he hurriedly said:

"Jianjia, don't think nonsense. Of course it's out of trust in you! You've already gotten the marriage certificate with me. How could I possibly not trust you?"

Li Jianjia asked instead: "Then why aren't you willing to have a child with me?"

Actually, this sentence was yet another distress signal Li Jianjia sent to Wang Xiaohua.

What he needed to do most at that moment wasn't all kinds of explanations, but to hurriedly give Li Jianjia a hug, and then, following her wish, strive to get her pregnant.

What a pity that back then Wang Xiaohua had already flown to Beijing, separated by ten thousand mountains and rivers, fundamentally unable to give Li Jianjia enough care.

Additionally, he never agreed to prepare for pregnancy with Li Jianjia.

Thinking of this in the deep of night now, the negative emotions in Wang Xiaohua's mind surged wildly like they were out of control. He couldn't help but viciously slap himself twice, then covered his head with a pillow, feeling his head was about to explode.

He couldn't control the urge to bawl, but he had to control it, because he was afraid of disturbing Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law's sweet dreams.

He got up and went to the toilet, hurriedly splashed tap water on his face. Only then were the self-reproach and restless emotions in Wang Xiaohua's heart gradually suppressed.

Looking back, he discovered Zhang Yueran had also come out of the room.

Zhang Yueran smiled and said:

"Huai Min, you haven't slept either?"
