Endless Fall

251 Chapter 251 Deep Love (5)

“That’s right.” Pei Yilan took out the pregnancy test report, her eyes filled with joy. “The baby is already two months old.”

Lin Jiao stared at the black dot on the ultrasound and clearly felt the birth of a life.

She carefully reached out and touched Pei Yilan’s flat stomach. “Do you have morning sickness now?”

“No.” Pei Yilan leaned against the soft pillow and blinked playfully. “It’s just that my appetite has increased.”

“That’s not too bad.”

“Have you told your parents?” Pei Zhi rolled up his sleeves and squatted on the carpet to assemble the crib with Jiang Ye.

Pei Yilan nodded. “I told them this morning.” She looked at the blueprint of the nursery with Lin Jiao. “Which one do you think is better?”

“Did you draw this?”

“Yes, he’s the one who designed most of it.”

Seeing that they valued it so much, Lin Jiao flipped through the three drawings and made some suggestions.

She took the cell phone from Pei Yilan and helped her choose some of the stuff she needed.

The four of them did their own things. The cold air from the air conditioner brushed past their skin. Not only could it calm people down, but it could also dispel the heat.

Pei Yilan suddenly thought of something. “I can’t be a bridesmaid next month.”

Shen Yi was getting married next month. His Madam, Xi Wen, had invited them to be her bridesmaids, but with her current situation, she could not do it.

“It’s fine. I think Wen can find someone else to replace you.”

“Alright.” Pei Yilan sent Xi Wen a WeChat message. Seeing that she had called, she started talking about her pregnancy with Xi Wen.

Hearing the joy in her voice, Lin Jiao was inexplicably touched and envious.

Her gaze moved up from Pei Zhi’s slender and strong arm to his side profile.

Sometimes, decisions were made in an instant.

Or rather, the love and sense of security he gave her allowed her to remain loyal from the beginning to the end. Therefore, she could instantly sense the answer in her heart without thinking.

When she got home that night, she couldn’t wait to make plans for the answer. First, she asked him, “When’s the next time you get a refill?”

Last year, new contraceptives were introduced in the country. One shot was effective for six months to a year for a man.

“In three months.” Pei Zhi took out a cut watermelon from the fridge and forked a piece with a silver fork. “You want a baby?”

He could easily tell what she was thinking. Lin Jiao leaned closer to him. “Why are you so calm? Don’t you want a baby?”

He couldn’t explain how he felt, but it wasn’t that he didn’t want a baby. “Are you ready?”

Lin Jiao nodded. “Of course.” She swallowed the watermelon and climbed onto his neck. “Let’s have two, okay?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Giving birth is too torturous.” At the thought of how difficult pregnancy was for a woman, Pei Zhi couldn’t help but frown.

Although medicine was advanced now and difficult labor rarely happened, it did not mean that there would not be a risk.

Lin Jiao could tell that he was worried and uneasy.

She kissed the corner of his lips and said, “Hubby, you have to stop smoking from now on.”

Pei Zhi’s hand that was about to grab a cigarette paused.

He had been smoking for a long time. No matter how strong his willpower was, he could not quit for a day or two. “Can I quit smoking step by step?”

“Sure.” Lin Jiao pondered for a moment. “Slowly reduce the amount of cigarettes you smoke. Start from three a day.”

Pei Zhi naturally had no objections when it came to the baby’s health. He even took the initiative to take the notes.

He put down the iPad at ten o’clock sharp and carried her to the bathroom. “Honey, I think I should work harder.”

“It’s useless to work hard now.” Lin Jiao glared at him. How could she not know what he was thinking?

However, she did not break free and allowed him to do what he wanted.

“How will you know if you don’t let me try?” Pei Zhi placed her on the sink and moved his warm palm along the skin under her armpit.

Under the dim light, two reflections on the wall overlapped, and a soul-stirring moan sounded.

With his persistent efforts, he finally got Lin Jiao pregnant seven months later.

The moment he received the ultrasound scan, his heart seemed to have been knocked by something. Even his fingertips could not help but tremble.

Overwhelmed by joy, he hugged her tightly in the crowded corridor.

They looked at each other and saw the same emotions in each other’s eyes.

It was late autumn again.

The trees planted on Sycamore Street were filled with the smell of autumn. The warm sunlight landed on Sheng Heng Building and refracted mottled shadows through the branches.

The little boy, who pressed his face against the French window, reached out his chubby hands to poke at the sunlight on the glass.

His long and narrow eyes were like spring water, occasionally stirred by the shadows cast by his eyelashes, but he still had a faint smile on his face.

“Lingling.” After the video conference, Pei Zhi walked to his side and squatted down. “What are you looking at?”

“The plane.”

“Where did the plane go?”

“Fly into the sky.” Pei Ling stood on his tiptoes and pointed into the sky in the distance.

...

Afraid that he would fall, Pei Zhi wrapped his left hand around his back.

He glanced up. “Do you want to take a plane?”

“Yes!” Pei Ling hugged his neck and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Daddy, I want to celebrate my birthday in the sky.”

This Saturday was Pei Ling’s second birthday.

Pei Zhi originally wanted to hold a party for him, but seeing that he had his own thoughts, he decided to fulfill his wish.

He called Lin Jiao. When she came to the President’s office after finishing her work, he immediately put down Pei Ling and hugged her.

“Honey.” He rested his chin on her shoulder and started talking about the weekend trip. “Where do you think we should go?”

“How’s Nan City?” Lin Jiao looked into his eyes. “The weather there is not bad. There’s also a beach.”

“Sure.” Seeing that she was interested in the beach, Pei Zhi naturally agreed. “Then let’s set off on Friday night?”

“Yay.” Pei Ling, who was sitting on the sofa, cheered excitedly.

He counted the time seriously. His childish voice lingered in their ears, as clear as a bell, quietly relieving the fatigue brought about by work.

...

Lin Jiao leaned into Pei Zhi’s arms. Before she could look at Pei Ling, she was blocked by a face that was gradually approaching.

The moment their breaths intertwined, Pei Ling, who was already used to it, walked to the other side silently with his toy.

His ‘tactfulness’ made things easier for Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi held the back of Lin Jiao’s head and deepened the kiss.
