Because I Cannot Hurt You-Chapter 459 - That Time And Now

"W-what did you say?" Zhiyuan took a sharp breath as he stared at the doctor.

The doctor smiled. "Yes. Congratulations. Mrs. Han is pregnant. You are going to be a father."

"B-B-But…"

Zhiyuan was stammering like anything. He was excited and eager to hear this news for a long time. He had been dreaming for this day to come for so long. So much that now he just couldn't believe it.

"But Xinyi and I…We just had a conversation today, and she said that she is not pregnant because she didn't feel the signs…"

"Oh it's not necessary for all women to have morning sickness during pregnancy. Plus, this is Mrs. Han's second pregnancy. Many times, the symptoms are not so severe or almost absent during the second pregnancy."

Zhiyuan parted his lips. "She…she is really pregnant? Y-you are not pulling my leg, are you?"

The doctor laughed. "Mr. Han. Doctors would never play such a cruel joke on a couple. I can see that you must have been waiting for your second child for a long time. Congratulations because the time is finally here. You can meet your wife. She is awake."

He trembled, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet. His gaze fell onto a poster of a smiling baby in the office.

Nine more months, and I can finally hold my daughter…

He looked down at his hands which were shaking in excitement and impatience. "Thanks doc."

He rushed past her and towards Xinyi's room.

The doctor chuckled. "It always feels so nice to see the blissful look on the couple's face. This is the part I love the most about my job. Giving them the good news."

She looked at Liao Yuan. "You must be Mrs. Han's friend if I am correct?"

He snapped out of his daze and smiled at her. "Yes. I wondered why she looked a little different. Guess…I know the answer now."

She smiled.

Liao Yuan stepped outside and saw his grandfather calling him.

"Yuan, my boy! Where are you? I finally found a suitable woman for you. I am sending you her picture and details."

"Yeah…"

"What? Why are you so bummed? If you back out of this date, then I will kill you, okay? You have been single for a lot of time now. I won't hear any rejection."

He faintly smiled. "I won't, Grandpa."

He hung up and leaned his back on the wall. He shut his eyes and put his hands in his pocket and stood there in silence.

"Zhiyuan-"

Before Xinyi could even say anything, Zhiyuan had already pulled her into a tight hug. He embraced her, expressing just how happy he felt at this moment. Xinyi felt his body slightly trembling.

"Thank you…" he whispered. He peppered soft kisses on her ear and neck. "You are awesome, Xinyi. I love you so much!"

Her heart felt overwhelmed, and tears rimmed in her eyes. She thought back to her first pregnancy. It was an absolute nightmare when she learned that she was pregnant. More than being happy, she felt heavy and crushing as she felt the child in her womb.

She broke down in tears of grief, not joy. She had questioned the child's birth. She has questioned her love for Siying.

But this time, the feeling was completely different. There wasn't even any small trace of regret and sadness. When the doctor broke the news to her, Xinyi couldn't describe what she felt at that moment.

Hope, joy, relief…

Sometimes she would dread the moment of Siying's birth. She wondered if she would be able to look at her son.

But now she couldn't wait for her second child to be born and hold her in her arms.

Xinyi patted his back. "I love you too, Zhiyuan." ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Zhiyuan gently pushed the lock of her hair behind her ear and kissed her lips. It was a long, passionate kiss that both didn't want to stop. He bit her lip and slid his tongue inside her mouth, wanting to delve deeper.

Xinyi softly moaned as the kiss grew fiercer. They were breathless, but they didn't care about it. After a long time, they finally parted. Zhiyuan held her hand and kissed the back of it.

He pursed his lips. "You gave me a heart attack when I heard you suddenly collapsed in the cafe. And that freak Yuan was there too. I was so angry."

Xinyi sheepishly grinned and stuck out her tongue.

Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and pinched her jaw. "You made me so scared, Mrs. Han."

"I am sorry, Mr. Han."

Zhiyuan harrumphed. "I will let this slide because it was a good heart attack. This is the heart attack I was waiting for so long. So, I forgive you."

Xinyi bowed. "Thank you for your graciousness, Mr. Han."

Zhiyuan laughed. He pinched her cheek. "So cheeky."

"I have learned it from my master~"

He raised his brow. "And who is your master, Mrs. Han?"

Xinyi leaned and kissed his cheek. "My awesome husband, Han Zhiyuan. He is a master in shamelessness and cheekiness. I have learned from the best." ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

He smiled, which made her shiver for some reason. He traced his thumb against her soft jaw line and whispered, "Your husband is a master in other things too. I think you should learn them."

Xinyi promptly shifted back in bed. "L-like what?"

Zhiyuan evilly chuckled and moved towards her to bridge the gap she created. "Hm…how about passionate romance in bed. Don't you think we should celebrate this good news?"

She gulped. "This is a hospital, Mr. Han. Behave yourself."

"I will lock the ward, rest assured, Mrs. Han."

"..."

"Don't worry. I won't go that far naturally, but there are a lot of other things we can enjoy~"

He leaned to kiss her lips again when the door suddenly banged open.

"Where is my granddaughter-in-law!?"

Han Huizhong entered as if a storm poured down.

They froze. Zhiyuan gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Stupid Grandpa!

Han Huizhong quickly caught the couple on the verge of doing a shameless deed.

Silence.

Xinyi blushed and pushed Zhiyuan away so hard that he almost stumbled off the bed.

"G-Grandpa…" her smile faltered.

He raised his brow. "I came at the wrong time, I see."

Zhiyuan snorted.

At least you realize it.

"But I don't care. Get off the bed, stupid grandson.. Save your private time for your bedroom."
