I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

You got married...

She glanced at the computer screen, then at Chen Shuo, her beautiful eyes already crinkling into crescents, and suddenly called out, "Husband..."

"Ok?"

"Husband, husband..." Bai Xiaoqi continued to call out, one after another, her voice soft and sweet.

Chen Shuo ultimately couldn't resist her advances and didn't quite understand her sudden excitement. Usually, he had to coax her to make her shout, but now that she was being so proactive, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

These calls of "husband" sounded like a coquettish plea, yet also like a declaration of his ownership over her. Chen Shuo touched the goosebumps on the back of his hand. "Be normal, stop calling me that, I can't take it anymore."

"But we're married, so it's only right that I call you 'husband'." Bai Xiaoqi tilted her head back and kissed him, then snuggled into Chen Shuo's arms, tilting her head up to look at him, and continued calling out with a grin, "Husband, husband..."

Each sweet "husband" was like an electric current, sending shivers down Chen Shuo's spine with every sound, and even making him inexplicably blush.

After listening for a while, Chen Shuo finally couldn't help but stand up and said, pretending to be calm, "I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Bai Xiaoqi stood up from the sofa, jumped and pounced on his back. She skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck, wrapped her legs around Chen Shuo's waist, and then whispered in his ear, "Are you really going to sleep?"

"Well, really."

"So, do you want to sleep, or sleep with me...?"

Warm breaths enveloped his ear, and Chen Shuo's body suddenly stiffened. "It's over, it's over, I'm going to die soon."

Chapter 289 I'll Take Care of Everything

After getting married, it was a new beginning. Time flew by, and it was already mid-December, the coldest time of the year.

I've heard that men get a random "buff" after getting married, such as decreased memory, weight gain, developing a beer belly, and hair loss.

Now, more than a month after their marriage, Chen Shuo feels that these buffs haven't been applied to him; perhaps he added the wrong person.

His little cat has turned into a little pervert, and even has the potential to become a juice extractor. It's all thanks to his consistent exercise that he's strong enough to keep up.

Chen Shuo slept in late again last night, and since it was still cold, he naturally wanted to stay in bed a little longer this morning. In his half-awake state, he had a strange dream.

In my dream, there was a hazy, dreamlike feeling, a warm sensation, like being in an incredibly small sauna in the dead of winter—hot, cramped, and humid.

Enveloped in this sweltering heat, Chen Shuo felt suffocated, yet the warm touch also made him feel soft and comfortable, and the surrounding air seemed to be pulsating rhythmically.

Take a deep breath, exhale, gasp...

Until the suffocating feeling of being enveloped in warmth reached its peak, Chen Shuo suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily, and looked up at the ceiling above the bedroom.

He felt like he had just had a dream, but now he's awake.

"Well...."

A muffled commotion came from under the covers. Chen Shuo lifted the covers to look and met Bai Xiaoqi's big, watery eyes.

"Hmm... Honey, you're awake..."

"..."

Chen Shuo pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes again.

Looks like I'm still dreaming; I need to sleep a little longer.

.......

Chen Shuo woke up late again this morning because of a dream. Fortunately, he had nothing to do today. After taking a shower and brushing his teeth, he went to the balcony to add water and food to Walnut's food and opened a can of cat food.

After taking a shower, Bai Xiaoqi got dressed and came out of the bedroom. Her mid-length plush pajamas reached her knees.

"I'll eat whatever you make." Chen Shuo followed her into the kitchen and watched as she opened the refrigerator, her hand already touching the smooth stockings.

Bai Xiaoqi opened the refrigerator to see what vegetables were inside, then looked down at his dog paws and pouted, saying, "You're not serious at all."

"Tch..." Chen Shuo also curled his lip, then reached out and hugged her slender waist, pulling her into his arms. "So who was being indecent first this morning?"

"It's you." Bai Xiaoqi turned her head and hummed, taking out a plate of dumplings from the refrigerator. They were made yesterday for the Winter Solstice, with cabbage and pork filling. There were still some left over.

"We'll make these into pan-fried dumplings in a bit, and then..." As she spoke, the aroma of the meat filling from the dumplings wafted into her nostrils, and Bai Xiaoqi suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea and couldn't help but gag.

"vomit..."

Hearing the retching sound, Chen Shuo was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"I...I'm vomiting..."

Before she could finish speaking, a wave of nausea washed over her again, one wave after another. Bai Xiaoqi gagged several times, quickly stuffed the dumplings back into the refrigerator, and then closed the door.

Although the smell was blocked, she still felt a surge of nausea rising in her chest, which reached her throat once again. She quickly covered her mouth and ran to the pool to gag.

Chen Shuo went to the tea machine to get a glass of water, but seeing that she couldn't drink it in her condition, he could only put the water aside and then gently pat her back to help her catch her breath.

To be honest, he's a little flustered right now, these symptoms... these symptoms...

Could it be that she's pregnant?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became even more chaotic, and his hands continued to move, gently stroking her back again and again.

At the same time, I recalled that my period came right on time last month, but it's not due yet this month, it's still two days away, so it shouldn't be him.

It must be because of the good luck she had this morning, but I don't know why she reacted so strongly.

Did you swallow too much?

After a bout of dry heaving, Bai Xiaoqi finally felt the nausea in her heart gradually subside.

Seeing that her complexion had eased somewhat, Chen Shuo's heart relaxed a little. He continued to gently pat her back and asked, "Are you feeling better? Shall we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"I'm not going..." Bai Xiaoqi picked up the cup next to her, took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth with it, and spat it into the kitchen sink before continuing, "I'm fine now, it's just that the dumplings smelled disgusting, they might have gone bad."

"How could it have gone bad after being in the refrigerator overnight? It's definitely not the dumplings that are the problem. Go get dressed, and then we'll go to the hospital to get it checked out."

"I'm really fine, I don't need to go."

"No, you have to go check on it even if there's nothing wrong. Listen to me."

"Oh..."

----------------

"Based on your description, congratulations..."

After listening to Chen Shuo's description, the doctor congratulated him, but didn't show much emotion, simply replying routinely, "She should be pregnant."

"..."

"..."

When the word "pregnancy" reached Chen Shuo and his companion's ears, they were both stunned for a moment, then stood frozen in place.

Although he had a vague suspicion before coming, Chen Shuo still felt completely unprepared at this point.

His neck looked rusty, making it difficult for him to turn his head, and he even seemed to get stuck.

Chen Shuo turned his head like a robot, glanced at Bai Xiaoqi next to him, and found that she also looked shocked.

Pregnant?!

"Doctor...is it possible that there's a mistake?"

Chen Shuo was a little incredulous, or rather, unwilling to accept this fact. They had only been married for a little over a month, still newlyweds, and yet they were already planning to have a child?

Isn't the script wrong?

"It shouldn't be wrong. Based on your description, these are pregnancy symptoms..." The doctor said, then looked at the couple's expressions.

“I understand how you feel. You’ve only been married a short time and are both so young. It’s normal to have a child so early and find it hard to accept. You might even be thinking about aborting the child.”

"No, no, no, doctor, we didn't intend to abort the child. If I'm pregnant, I'll definitely give birth. I just wanted to ask if there's a possibility of a mistake..."

Hearing Chen Shuo say this, a slight smile finally appeared on the female doctor's usually impassive face. "There's always a chance of things going wrong like this. How about this..."

As she spoke, she opened the drawer and handed over a form, "You should first go and do a urine HCG test to confirm whether you are really pregnant."

"Thank you, doctor."

After thanking her, Chen Shuo took the form and then pulled her out of the department.

Bai Xiaoqi was still completely bewildered, her mind still filled with those two words: pregnant, pregnant...

She was so unaware that Chen Shuo had pulled her out of the department that she didn't even realize it until the sound of the door closing brought her back to her senses, and then she suddenly felt panicked.

She grabbed Chen Shuo's wrist as if she had found her pillar of support, and then stammered, "...How...how could I be pregnant? We...that...I..."

"..."

Chen Shuo was also flustered at this moment, but he tried his best to remain calm. When he heard the question, he turned his head and remained silent for a moment before saying, "We didn't take any precautions, it would be strange if she didn't get pregnant."

"But...but isn't there a safe period? You only... during the safe period."

"There is a certain chance of getting pregnant during the safe period, but the chance is very small... Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You sit here and wait, I'll go to the nurses' station to ask where to get a urine test."

"Husband...I..."

Chen Shuo reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her hair as he softly said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Ah."

Held in his arms, feeling the familiar warmth, Bai Xiaoqi suddenly calmed down.

Chapter 290 It's confirmed

The urine test results didn't take long to arrive; I got them in about half an hour.

HCG positive.

It's confirmed, Little Meow is really pregnant.

Chen Shuo had initially held onto a sliver of hope, since the doctor had said it was possible, but now that the possibility had been confirmed, he was caught off guard and at a loss.

My wife is pregnant? I'm going to be a dad?

Sure enough, going to the construction site without a hat can lead to fatal accidents.

The construction site is the battlefield; only with proper protection can victory be achieved.

Unfortunately, I realized it too late.

After leaving the hospital, Bai Xiaoqi didn't say a word until she sat in the passenger seat. Her expression was blank, and her usually bright eyes had lost their liveliness, leaving her in a daze.
