Arc 1 (26)

The clock struck 16:30, and Feng Li and Yu Xin embarked on their journey to the high-end restaurant. The anticipation weighed heavily in the air as they drove, a mixture of excitement and nerves filling their hearts. In the car, their hands were intertwined, finding solace in each other's touch as they looked forward to sharing their joyous news with their family.

At precisely 16:55, they arrived at the restaurant, the grand façade signaling the opulence that awaited inside. Hand in hand, they made their way to the private room, a sense of intimacy and significance enveloping them.

The room was adorned with tasteful decor, creating an atmosphere of warmth and elegance. Feng Li and Yu Xin settled into their seats, their hearts fluttering in anticipation as they waited for their family members to arrive.

Within minutes, the room filled with the presence of their loved ones. Papa Yu, Papa Feng, and Yu Xin's brother took their seats, their faces a mix of curiosity and excitement.

As the waiter took their orders, Feng Li felt a surge of emotions rising within him. He cleared his throat, gathering the attention of everyone in the room. All eyes turned toward him, awaiting his words with bated breath.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Li gently clasped Yu Xin's hand, drawing strength from their connection. With a soft yet firm voice, he announced, "Yu Xin is pregnant, and we wanted to share this wonderful news with all of you here today."

As the news of Yu Xin's pregnancy settled in the room, a hushed silence hung in the air, thick with surprise and awe. Yu Xin couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry, his eyes searching for reassurance in Feng Li's steady gaze. Sensing his partner's unease, Feng Li tenderly held Yu Xin's hands, his touch a comforting anchor in the sea of emotions.

To break the awkward silence and bring everyone back to the present, Feng Li cleared his throat, a subtle yet effective way to regain their attention. As his cough resonated through the room, it acted like a catalyst, pulling everyone out of their stunned state.

With the room returning to normalcy, the discussion resumed, but this time, it was centered around the practicalities of preparing for their growing family.

"Feng Li, I understand your privacy preference, but with Yu Xin's well-being in mind, we need to hire some help for the household," Dad Feng spoke seriously, locking eyes with his son.

Feng Li nodded in agreement, acknowledging the necessity of having additional support. He understood that as the head of the family, he had responsibilities beyond his personal preferences. He knew he couldn't always have Yu Xin by his side, especially when he needed to go to the company or handle other matters.

"All right, let's recruit some staff," Feng Li agreed, setting aside his reservations for the well-being of their family.

Mama Yu, ever pragmatic, began contemplating the staffing requirements. She spoke thoughtfully, "We'll need one skilled cook, one capable housekeeper, around 4 to 5 maids to ensure the entire house stays in order, and two gardeners to tend to the outdoor spaces."

Feng Li considered her suggestions carefully, realizing the importance of having a well-functioning household to support Yu Xin during the pregnancy and beyond.

His decision came with a caveat - "But all of them must be beta," Feng Li stated firmly, his protectiveness evident in his words. He didn't want to risk unnecessary complications and potential issues that could arise if omega staff were brought into their home.

The rest of the family nodded in agreement, fully understanding the wisdom behind Feng Li's preference. While they acknowledged that not all omegas were troublesome, they knew that such a decision would spare them from any potential conflicts and ensure a harmonious living environment.
