The 99th Divorce

Could it be that…

Su Qianci sensed that Li Sicheng had already guessed the reason. After all, he was a very intelligent person. But, his next words almost caused her to pass out.

“Could it be that you slept too late last night?” he asked.

Su Qianci’s face heated up. She thumped him on his arm as she exclaimed, “Get lost!”

Li Sicheng chuckled and pulled her close to him as he spoke into her ear, “Are our children going to get a new sibling?”

Su Qianci froze mid-action and looked up to face him. Her huge and shiny eyes blinked.

When Li Sicheng saw that, his eyebrows rose, and his lips lifted in a smile. He planted a kiss at the corner of Su Qianci’s mouth and wrapped his arms tightly around her. He gently asked, “Is that true? Is that really the case?”

Su Qianci didn’t know what to say. She only know she felt like she did at the start of her previous pregnancy, but she couldn’t be sure.

“Answer me. Is that really the case?” Li Sicheng was growing more excited by the minute. His excitement and joy was bubbling out of him uncontrollably.

“I…” Su Qianci couldn’t resist smiling when she saw his reaction. She nudged him gently and said, “I don’t know. It’s not exactly up to me.”

The smile on Li Sicheng’s face widened. He held her tightly as he watched the group ahead of them shrink in the distance. In a low voice, he said, “Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up, shall we?”

“No! Let’s go tomorrow. What’s the rush?” Su Qianci was a little embarrassed and a little more than hesitant. She explained, “Lili’s having issues with fertility. Don’t mention this in front of her.”

Yu Lili and Ou Ming had told her a little of Yu Lili’s condition. If they knew there was a possibility that Su Qianci could be pregnant again, given how sensitive Yu Lili was, she would start blaming herself again.

Other than the fact that Su Qianci wasn’t too sure of it herself, her sensitivity toward Yu Lili was another factor in her hesitation to mention the possible pregnancy.

Li Sicheng held her hand. Unable to control his emotions, he began chuckling to himself.

Su Qianci couldn’t contain her own laughter either and nudged him. “Go away!”

Not only did Li Sicheng not leave, his laughter became even more enthusiastic. He suddenly picked her up and declared, “My wife is awesome!”

Li Sicheng’s voice wasn’t soft at all. Su Qianci yelped out in shock. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck as she looked in the direction that their group of friends had headed.

Fortunately, the group had disappeared a long time ago. Su Qianci heaved a sigh of relief. She mumbled in a coquettish voice, “Let me down. You gave me a fright!”

Li Sicheng put her down and planted a huge kiss on her mouth. He said, “This time around, I’ll be able to watch the childbirth. I’ll be able to feed the child milk and change the diapers… I’ll be able to do everything that a father should.” Holding his wife, he felt himself getting emotional. “Let’s buy a pregnancy test later on. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the hospital for a check-up. Regardless of whether you’re really pregnant, or if this is just a false alarm, let’s have another child, shall we?”

Su Qianci could sense how emotional he was. His heart was beating fast and hard. This was the real Li Sicheng, the Li Sicheng in the flesh by her side.

His greatest regret was that he had missed out on his children’s first four years of childhood.

Su Qianci knew that, and she understood. Hugging him wordlessly, she leaned into his embrace and replied, “OK.”

Li Sicheng relaxed. He cupped her face with his hands and bent his head to kiss her. “Thank you, Mrs. Li.”
