In the hospital, the air seemed to freeze. The doctor spoke again, his tone gentle yet serious: "Congratulations, you are pregnant."
I paused for a moment, unsure of how to respond. This was unexpected, but at the same time, it felt like a gift from fate.
When I returned home, I hid the report in my bag, my heart racing as I thought about how to tell Mao Yixuan. When he saw the report, he froze for a few seconds before breaking into a smile and excitedly pulling me into a tight embrace.
"We're going to have a baby," his voice was filled with unmasked joy.
However, I couldn't fully relax. "Isn't this a bit sudden?" I asked softly.
He gently kissed my forehead and replied, "Maybe it is, but this is our best future."
Yet, the news of the pregnancy completely disrupted our lives. I had to temporarily set aside work, and Mao Yixuan noticed that company projects were progressing slowly due to his distraction.
"We need to replan," he said seriously while flipping through parenting manuals. "You need plenty of rest, and I have to arrange company matters in advance."
But putting plans into action proved far more complicated. My body began to frequently feel unwell; morning sickness and fatigue followed me like shadows. Mao Yixuan was also overwhelmed with company affairs and my condition, turning our lives into chaos.
When Lin Xiao heard the news, she burst through the door with bags of maternity supplies. "You need to get ready! Once the little one arrives, it won't be so easy!" she said with a smile, unpacking while sharing her experiences non-stop.
Looking at the table full of baby items, I felt both warmth and anxiety. "Do you think Mao Yixuan can handle being a dad?" I asked tentatively.
Lin Xiao shrugged. "Men are always a bit slower than us, but you have to give him time." Her tone was lighthearted, but her words weighed heavily on my heart. Were we really ready for this?
Agent A Yong came to help me adjust my work schedule. "Your only task now is to rest well; we will handle everything else," he said firmly.
But I was unwilling to give up my career. "I can still participate in work, at least remotely," I insisted.
A Yong shook his head. "Your health is more important. Letting go doesn't mean failure."
However, during an important meeting, I suddenly fainted due to discomfort. At that moment, I finally realized that I couldn't have it all.
Seeing my anxious expression, Mao Yixuan began to seriously study parenting knowledge, preparing as much as possible for the arrival of our new life. Late at night, I watched him carefully flipping through the New Parents Handbook under the desk lamp, and a warm feeling surged in my heart.
He held my hand tightly, his eyes filled with excitement but also a hint of unease. "Can I really be a good father?" he asked softly, as if this was not just a question for himself but also an expectation and anxiety about the future.
However, the calm only lasted a few days. Mao Yixuan's business rival learned about our pregnancy and quickly seized the opportunity.
"Mao Yixuan is distracted by family matters, and the company's operations are in trouble!" Such reports flooded the media, turning public opinion against us once again, causing the company's stock price to plummet.
Worse still, an anonymous source leaked false information to the media, suggesting there were doubts about the timing of my pregnancy, attempting to create a crisis in our relationship.
I helplessly looked at my phone filled with malicious comments and news headlines, feeling a mix of emotions. "How can these people be so cruel?" I gritted my teeth.
Mao Yixuan held my hand, his gaze resolute. "No matter what others say, I believe in you and in us."
He called an emergency press conference and firmly announced in front of the media: "My family matters have nothing to do with the company; any malicious defamation will face legal consequences." His tone was steady and powerful, showcasing the responsibility of a mature man.
After the press conference ended, my phone vibrated again, and a message popped up on the screen: “Congratulations on successfully clarifying things, but the game isn’t over yet.”
