1970s Gangster Couple NOT MTL

95

Wang Wei, with trembling hands, took the slip of paper and looked at it for a long time before putting it down. Slowly turning his head, his lips quivering slightly, he said, "We... really have a child now."

Xiao Xiao knew he was so overwhelmed by the surprise that he was at a loss for words.

She hurriedly took Wang Wei's hand: "Yes, we have a child now. When they are born, they will call you daddy and me mommy."

Wang Wei took a deep breath, "Yes, our child."

Xiao Xiao, holding Wang Wei's hand, could clearly feel his whole body gently shaking. She stepped forward to wrap her arms around his waist, and it took a long while for Wang Wei to calm down with his head buried in Xiao Xiao's shoulder.

The doctor had seen many young couples get excited, even to the point of choking up and crying, upon hearing about their child for the first time. However, seeing Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao holding each other so boldly and directly was a first for him.

The doctor coughed: "After going back, pay more attention to rest and diet. Try to keep your mood stable and avoid too much emotional fluctuation."

Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao thanked the doctor and Yun San drove them home.

From that day on, Wang Wei took even greater care of Xiao Xiao than before. He insisted on watching her finish breakfast before he left for the day, and the first thing he did upon returning was to ask the housekeeper in great detail about Xiao Xiao's day, including how many bowls of rice she ate at noon, what dishes she had, what she did, and if anything was even slightly amiss, he would become extremely nervous.

His nervousness made him uneasy about letting Xiao Xiao continue to organize notes all day as before.

Knowing her condition, but seeing Wang Wei so worried, Xiao Xiao followed his wishes. She stayed at home every day, took a walk in the garden after meals, read books or listened to the radio when she felt bored. With her lectures stopped, the note-taking naturally ceased, and her days passed quite comfortably.

Wang Wei was relieved, and Xiao Xiao comfortably nourished her pregnancy. They were not in a hurry, but others were.

Whether it was Xiao Xiao's lectures or her notes, they were all meticulously recorded and then archived. As soon as Xiao Xiao's notes were released, a specialized team would experimentally verify them. Perhaps a formula she jotted down casually could be a treasure trove for the scientists of Huaguo, pushing theoretical research to a new level. Now that she had suddenly stopped, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

So, after some discussion, they decided to have Professor Wang make some indirect inquiries.

When Professor Wang wished to see Xiao Xiao now, he had to go through numerous checks. Upon his arrival, Xiao Xiao was arranging flowers in the garden. Wang Wei, concerned about her straining her eyes from reading too much and also wanting to prevent her from feeling bored, had suggested she take up flower arranging or other hobbies to pass the time.

Just after cutting a branch, Xiao Xiao was informed by the housekeeper that Professor Wang had arrived.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly asked someone to escort Professor Wang to the living room while she washed her hands to meet her guest.

"Why have you come?" she greeted the professor.

Upon hearing her, Professor Wang quickly stood up, carefully examining Xiao Xiao and noting her rosy complexion and good spirits before he felt relieved. Although he could no longer teach Xiao Xiao anything, he genuinely liked her.

"Have you been well recently? Any discomfort?" he asked.

Sitting down, Xiao Xiao smiled, "I'm very good, very healthy."
