Lu Zean was the first to break the silence, his voice soft yet filled with excitement. "Darling, the doctor said you're pregnant. This is our child, the most precious gift from heaven." His eyes sparkled with joy and anticipation at the thought of becoming a father, looking at Lin Xiao Yu with deep affection and concern.
Lin Xiao Yu was momentarily taken aback, instinctively placing her hand on her flat abdomen. A flicker of surprise and complex emotions crossed her face as she softly replied, "I never expected this little life to come so suddenly." Her expression reflected both the bewilderment of becoming a mother for the first time and a hint of anxiety about the changes that lay ahead.
Ma Zhao Zhao stepped forward, gently patting Lin Xiao Yu's shoulder with a smile. "Lin Xiao Yu, this is wonderful news! Although it's a bit unexpected, just look at Lu Zean; he's over the moon. You can focus on nurturing the baby now and put your dance career on hold for a while."
Lin Xiao Yu furrowed her brow slightly, revealing a tinge of conflict in her eyes. "But I can't let go of dance. I've invested so much into it, and there are important rehearsals and performances coming up."
Lu Zean tightened his grip on Lin Xiao Yu's hand and quickly reassured her, "Sweetheart, you and our child are what matter most. There will be more opportunities for dance in the future. Let's ensure this little one arrives safely and healthily, okay? I understand how significant dance is to you, but right now we need to think about our child."
Tears welled up in Lin Xiao Yu's eyes as she fell silent for a moment before whispering, "I know, it's just that I feel a bit overwhelmed; it seems like my life has been turned upside down all of a sudden."
Ma Zhao Zhao handed her a tissue and comforted her softly. "Lin Xiao Yu, this is a new chapter in your life. There will be many challenges ahead, but also much happiness. You're not alone; Lu Zean will always be by your side, and we will all support you. Once the baby is born, you can continue pursuing your dance dreams—who knows, maybe you'll even dance together with your child someday."
Lu Zean gently stroked Lin Xiao Yu's hair and said tenderly, "Yes, Zhao Zhao is right. Let's welcome this little life together. I will work hard to provide you and our child with a stable home. You just focus on taking care of yourself and being a happy mother."
Lin Xiao Yu sniffled and nodded slightly, determination flickering in her eyes. "Alright then, since he’s coming, I’ll embrace him wholeheartedly. But I might need to lean on you both during this time."
Lu Zean and Ma Zhao Zhao exchanged smiles, with Lu Zean quickly responding, "It's no trouble at all; it's what we should do. As long as you and the baby are well, everything will be worth it."
With a mix of nervousness and excitement swirling within her, Lin Xiao Yu hesitantly dialed her mother Song Ying's number. As soon as she heard her mother's familiar voice on the other end, she couldn't wait to share the news. "Mom, I have something big to tell you and Dad. I'm pregnant!"
Song Ying paused for a moment in surprise before her voice filled with joy and excitement. "Oh my dear daughter, that's wonderful news! How are you feeling? Are you okay?"
"I'm doing well," Lin Xiao Yu replied with a smile. "I’m just a bit overwhelmed at first. Lu Zean is here with me; he says he’ll take good care of me and the baby."
"That's great to hear!" Song Ying said warmly. "Just wait there; your dad and I are coming over right away. This is such a joyous occasion for our family; we must celebrate!"
After hanging up with her mother, Lin Xiao Yu called her father Lin Wufeng next. "Dad, I'm pregnant," she said softly.
Lin Wufeng was silent for a moment as he processed the news before responding steadily, "Congratulations, my girl! Is Lu Zean reliable? Is he ready to be a father?"
Lin Xiao Yu quickly assured him, "Dad, Lu Zean is very happy about it and responsible; he says he’ll take good care of us."
"Well, he better be," Lin Wufeng replied with a slight grunt. "Don’t worry; you have your dad here for you. No matter what happens, I’ll always be your strongest support. Once your mom and I arrive, we can discuss everything properly."
Listening to her father's caring words filled Lin Xiao Yu's heart with warmth and gratitude. She realized that this little life not only brought new hope and joy to her and Lu Zean but also enveloped their entire family in an atmosphere of happiness.
