Rebirth from the Ashes

Staring at the girls in a daze, Song Wenye was struck by a thought. She was quick to explain herself. “No. I’m not.”

Shen Xi smiled without a word.

Shen Tang immediately handed Song Wenye a glass of water and stroked her back to help ease the gag reflexes. Shen Tang tenderly asked, “Did you eat something bad?”

Now that was better. Song Wenye poutingly glared at Shen Xi. See! Tangtang got things right while the little pr*ck probably had her mind in the gutter.

Clearing her throat, Shen Xi earnestly nodded. “You ate something bad? Let me take a look.”

She then reached out to feel Song Wenye’s wrist.

Song Wenye was dumbstruck at first before getting the idea. Take a look, her *ss. Shen Xi wanted to check her pulse, but since Song Wenye had nothing to hide, Shen Xi could check all she wanted. It was not like Shen Xi could tell if she had a child through a pulse. Narrowing her eyes, Shen Xi felt it a little and let go, then felt it again before saying. “You’re four weeks pregnant.” Song Wenye widened her eyes and sprang to her feet. She exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?” Shen Tang stared at Shen Xi in shock, inquiring whether she was for real or merely joking.

“Do I know no boundaries?” Shen Xi pretended to sniffle in sadness. “And joke about something like that?”

Song Wenye’s stunt of jumping and shouting caught everyone’s attention on the plane. They turned to look at her.

Yu Yuanxi was the first to rush up to her, worried to see Song Wenye hot and bothered. “What’s wrong?”

Pursing her lips, Song Wenye gave him the eye and puffed her cheeks to sulk.

Shen Xi wanted to say something but was not spared the intimidating look from Song Wenye too. Song Wenye was clearly threatening her from telling anyone.

With no one talking and more people gathered here, Shen Tang said, “It’s just girl talk.”

She was not used to lying. Changing the subject was enough to make her blush.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Yu Yuanxi scanned every inch of Song Wenye’s face.

Song Wenye shoved and shooed him away. “You heard us. It’s girl talk. Why are you so annoying? Go!”

There was something wrong with her attitude. She came across as a little too presumptuous.

Yu Yuanxi caught that at first glimpse. Despite feeling worried sick, he was afraid he might anger her more by staying. Hence, he left.

Shen Xi was frustrated as Yu Yuanxi could do more. Jesus. He was a straight arrow for sure. When a girl said she was fine, what she meant was, she was not fine!

With Yu Yuanxi gone, Song Wenye whispered to Shen Xi. “Is it true? Am I expecting?” How could it be? This was not in her and Yu Yuanxi’s plans. They made sure to take proper protective measures to avoid any accidents every time they did it.

Shen Xi uttered, “Contraception isn’t 100% effective.”

Accidents could happen.

Song Wenye was not having it. Sprawling over the table as if she was about to die, Song Wenye had the urge to cry. “What do I do now?”

Shen Xi sighed. “You should ask your man about it. You two should have a talk. What’s the point of asking me?”

Song Wenye pulled a sad face. “What would you do if it were you?”

Shen Xi did not hesitate. “I’ll keep the baby.”

Song Wenye then turned to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang nodded her head. “I agree with Xixi.”

However, Shen Tang respected Song Wenye’s choices. The baby was not hers nor was she pregnant. She had no way to dictate what others should do.

Song Wenye pulled her hair in distress while placing her hand on her belly. In the end, she needed more assurance from Shen Xi. “Are you sure?”

Shen Xi answered, “I am sure. How about I take you to the lab for a proper examination once we get off the plane.” Song Wenye still did not trust her. Her pulse-reading could beat all those ultrasound devices.

“Hmm.” With a complicated look on her face, she made up her mind and called, “Yu Yuanxi.”

She yelled out loud. Yu Yuanxi dashed to her side. Song Wenye pulled him away. “I have something to discuss with you.”

The couple took off to a quiet spot.

The remaining few looked at Shen Xi and Shen Tang, asking what was going on.

Shen Xi and Shen Tang were not going to let the cat out of the bag before Song Wenye and Yu Yuanxi made a decision. They quietly sipped on their bubble tea and looked out the window.

Shen Xi rubbed her belly, wondering when her turn would come.

Although this thing could not be rushed nor were they in a hurry, she would be lying to say she was not looking forward to it.

Shen Tang drew close and whispered in Shen Xi’s ear. “When are you and Li Yuan going to have a baby?” Shen Xi bit on her straw. “Um… It’ll come when it’s time. We’re not in a rush.”

Li Yuan said to wait until she graduated from college. They took all precautions when they were together.

Nevertheless, there was no telling in this kind of thing. What if, like Song Wenye, she got pregnant despite all the protections. No one could ever see it coming.

As the older sister, Shen Tang might not have practical experience, but she got the theoretical knowledge down pat. She gave some advice. “Unless you guys are sure, you should make sure to take precautions. You don’t want to be blindsided.”

All that talk made Shen Xi’s face as red as the sunset. She retorted with a smile, “Tangtang, I’m a doctor.”

Looking at the smile on Shen Xi’s face, Shen Tang extended her arm out and poked her. “Are you laughing at me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Shen Xi pleaded coyly while shaking Shen Tang’s arm. She even leaned in to steal a sip out of Shen Tang’s bubble tea. “Yours tastes better.”

Feeling helpless by her behavior, Shen Tang dotingly grinned. “Drink some more.”

While the girls were talking, Song Wenye and Yu Yuanxi emerged holding hands. They came to the middle of the cabin.

Following their appearance, those concerned about them, Granny Yu particularly, were on pins and needles.

“I have an announcement to make.” Yu Yuanxi’s voice was nervous and excited as he gazed at the family all around. He solemnly said, “Lil’ Ye is pregnant. We plan to keep the child.”

For a rambunctious kid, it was a rare moment to catch Song Wenye shy. She was blushing so hard and could not look anyone in the face. She nodded in agreement.

The family was worried stiff, thinking the couple had an argument. It took them a while to take in the news.

Granny Yu was the first to stand up. “Lil’ Ye is pregnant?!”

Yun Jinping quickly bolted to Song Wenye’s side. “Really? Is it confirmed?”

The chess piece in Shen Zhangqing’s hand dropped to the ground. After getting a grip of himself, he turned to Shen Zhanglin. “Zhanglin, am I going to be a grandpa?”

Lil’ Ye was pregnant!

His daughter-in-law was pregnant!
