Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 556 Xu Boyan: I am going to be a dad_1

Lu Qingyi was carried home by Xu Boyan. All the way, she did not stir or show any sign of waking; she was in a very deep slumber.

Xu Boyan gently laid her on the bed and leaned down, softly placing a kiss on her forehead.

The little one had been very tired lately.

Quietly and gently, Xu Boyan helped her out of her jacket, treating her with extreme care throughout the process.

He pulled off her jacket, removed her shoes, and then covered her with a blanket, all done with utmost gentleness and care.

Lu Qingyi slept soundly without stirring even once. If it weren’t for the steady rhythm of her breath, Xu Boyan would have feared something was wrong with her.

Usually, she was a light sleeper and could be easily awakened. It was surprising she hadn’t woken up now.

It appeared that the little one was truly worn out.

As Xu Boyan picked up Qingyi’s coat to hang it, a folded piece of paper fell out from its pocket.

"The little one is always thinking about work."

Xu Boyan picked up the paper, and started speaking softly.

Xu Boyan hadn’t intended to peek, but planning to put the paper back in Lu Qingyi’s pocket, he saw the words "report." taken aback for a moment.

Report?

With the paper unfolded, the bold black characters started to weigh heavily on him. The hand holding the paper started to tremble, and his heartbeat became erratic.

Ultrasound report.

Three weeks pregnant.

The bold characters made Xu Boyan’s hand involuntarily tremble. He looked over at the sleeping Lu Qingyi on the bed, and his gaze became extraordinarily tender.

No wonder the little one had been so sleepy lately and eating so much. There was a baby, their baby, growing inside her belly.

Feeling flustered, Xu Boyan didn’t know how to react. He stood there for a long while before stepping out of the room.

He took out his phone, opened Baidu, and typed in the search bar: What should pregnant women eat?

–––

By the time Lu Qingyi woke up, it was already dark, and a warm orange night light was on by the bed.

She rubbed her eyes gently, still half sleepy. The night had advanced quite a bit, it seemed Xu Boyan must have carried her back.

Being a restless sleeper, she was surprised that she hadn’t woken up on the way and had slept so soundly.

She lightly touched her own belly, a tender smile spreading over her lips.

Their child, she and Xu Boyan’s child. She had to protect it and let it experience the world.

She planned to tell Xu Boyan after finishing the movie. At the moment, Qingyi had no idea that he already knew.

"Little one, are you awake?"

Xu Boyan entered the room after pushing open the door. He switched on the light and looked at Lu Qingyi with an extraordinarily tender gaze.

The little one had slept for a long time.

"Mmm, what time is it now?"

Lu Qingyi asked.

Her phone wasn’t nearby, and there was no clock in the room.

"Nine o’clock, freshen up a bit and have some dinner."

Xu Boyan gently ruffled Lu Qingyi’s hair and spoke softly.

Since it was already late, they certainly had to eat something.

Qingyi nodded her head and quickly went to wash up. Sitting at the dining table, she looked at Xu Boyan serving one plate of food after another, filled with confusion.

Today’s dishes seemed overly lavish, causing Qingyi to wonder if it was a special occasion. She checked her phone but found it wasn’t a holiday or any commemorative day.

It was puzzling.

Previously, Xu Boyan had never prepared this many dishes. While he usually made her favourites, this time he cooked a number of things that she wasn’t particularly fond of.

The amount of meat was unusually large.

"Are we expecting guests?"

Lu Qingyi remained silent for a while before looking at Xu Boyan and asking.

Xu Boyan replied, "No."

"Eat more to build your strength."

Xu Boyan scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Lu Qingyi and spoke softly.

Lu Qingyi: "???"

Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan completely dumbfounded. The situation felt strange and out of place.

"Have some chicken."

Xu Boyan placed a piece of chicken on Lu Qingyi’s plate and continued speaking softly.

He had read on Baidu that consuming a good amount of chicken soup can supplement one’s nutrition, thus he especially boiled a chicken for Lu Qingyi.

"I don’t like it."

Lu Qingyi stared at the chicken in her bowl for a while before uttering three words.

She had no fondness for chicken or duck. Xu Boyan was well-aware of this, and he usually didn’t cook these for her. His actions today were highly unusual.

"You have to eat it even if you don’t like it. You’re so thin it makes my heart ache. Eat more to build some strength."

Xu Boyan gently put another piece of chicken in Lu Qingyi’s plate, his tone tender and soft.

How can she not eat?

Being pregnant, the little one needed to eat well and properly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t get enough nutrition.

"Xu Boyan, you were fine at noon. Why are you acting so strange now?"

Lu Qingyi slightly furrowed her brows. Looking at Xu Boyan, she asked her question. She was seriously doubting if he had experienced something unusual.

He just felt different.

"Nothing. Start eating."

Xu Boyan shook his head and urged Qingyi to start eating quickly.

She hadn’t eaten since noon and felt hungry. Lu Qingyi lowered her head, continuing to devour the food in her bowl while pushing the chicken to the side.

She never forced herself to eat what she didn’t like.

Xu Boyan watched as Lu Qingyi continued to eat, tucking the chicken aside. His eyebrows knitted together while observing her hesitance.

He really wanted her to eat some chicken to build her strength. However, watching her eat so heartily, he swallowed back the words that he had wanted to say.

He didn’t want to disturb her.

"Have some chicken soup"

Just as Lu Qingyi put down her bowl, Xu Boyan presented her with a bowl full of chicken soup. He looked at her with an exceptionally tender smile.

The essence was in the soup.

"I don’t want to have it."

Lu Qingyi turned her head.

She never really liked soup. The chicken soup looked greasy, and she couldn’t bring herself to have it.

"Come on, have some."

Xu Boyan moved the bowl even closer to Lu Qingyi.

Lu Qingyi: "..."

"Xu Boyan, to be honest, I am suspicious of your sanity."

Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan. She hadn’t intended to have the soup from her bowl, but now she was observing him even more critically.

Something was amiss.

"Just be happy."

Xu Boyan replied with a couple of chuckles.

Lu Qingyi: "????"

Happy?

What was there to be happy about?

She couldn’t think of anything to be happy about.

"I’m going to be a dad. How could I not be happy?"

Xu Boyan looked at Lu Qingyi, smiling gently.

The expression on Lu Qingyi’s face froze for a moment. Looking at Xu Boyan, she asked, "You knew?"

Lu Qingyi was surprised. Xu Boyan already knew about it.
