After bidding farewell to Sun Qian, Lin Feng intended to return to school.
Tang Pinliang called Lin Feng then: "Brother-in-law, hurry to the hospital. Aunt Wang is accompanying my sister for her prenatal check-up, and then Aunt Wang felt unwell and is queuing for registration."
"Your sister's prenatal check-up? Is your sister pregnant?"
Lin Feng was startled. Tang Wan hadn't told him about such a major event.
Could the child not be his?
"Brother-in-law, your sister has been pregnant for so long, and you don't even know? How can you be so careless?"
Tang Pinliang was also surprised.
"I know now. Which hospital is it? I'll come find your sister."
Lin Feng's mood was complicated. For such a significant matter as pregnancy, Tang Wan had never mentioned it to him.
He strongly suspected Tang Wan was hiding something from him.
It was over. Lin Feng felt his head turning green with anxiety.
Tang Wan, Tang Wan, don't let me down!
Lin Feng thought erratically and rushed to the Central Hospital.
Arriving at the prenatal check-up area of the Central Hospital, Tang Wan was indeed sitting on a long bench in the corridor, waiting in line.
Her belly was slightly rounded, at least five months along.
"Lin Feng, why are you here?"
Tang Wan noticed Lin Feng, who had rushed over in a hurry, with slight surprise.
"My dear Miss Tang, you've been pregnant for so long, and I'm still unaware. If it weren't for Tang Pinliang telling me, how long were you planning to hide it from me?"
Lin Feng's face was stern, and he wasn't happy at all.
Tang Wan felt a little guilty when Lin Feng questioned her and chuckled awkwardly, "I was planning to tell you after the baby was born. I didn't expect Pinliang to be so quick with his mouth!"
"Besides your brother, does anyone else know?"
Lin Feng thought of Liu Mengyao and the other women. For such a significant event as Tang Wan's pregnancy, Liu Mengyao and the others couldn't possibly be unaware.
"They know. I didn't let them tell you. I didn't want your pregnancy to affect you."
Tang Wan explained with a smile.
"Then, then you mean this child isn't mine at all?"
Lin Feng felt an unspeakable bitterness. If Tang Wan told him she was pregnant with someone else's child, he would indeed be affected.
Seeing Lin Feng's suspicious gaze, Tang Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Little brother Lin Feng, why would you think that?"
"Because you kept it from me, and besides, Lu Jingzhe and the others have been with me for so long, and they didn't say anything about pregnancy, so..."
Lin Feng found it somewhat difficult to articulate.
Tang Wan laughed generously, "So you think there's something wrong with your virility and you can't have children, so you suspect this child is with someone else, right?"
Lin Feng nodded. He did have some doubts about his fertility.
After all, the cultivation techniques he practiced were quite special, and having reproductive defects was normal.
Tang Wan understood and was no longer angry with Lin Feng. She took Lin Feng's large hand and placed it on her belly.
"Feel it yourself. Is this baby yours? I think you should be able to sense something."
Tang Wan said softly.
Lin Feng calmed himself and released a wisp of true qi. Immediately, a power of bloodline resonated with him.
His blood was boiling, and he could even feel the fetus in Tang Wan's womb greeting him.
"This, this is my child!"
Lin Feng's heart was filled with unspeakable complexity and shock.
He had descendants.
The resonance of bloodlines never lied. Tang Wan was indeed carrying his child.
For a moment, Lin Feng was stunned. He couldn't describe his feelings, as if he were dreaming.
Tang Wan sensed Lin Feng's complex emotions and rubbed his large hand, "Lin Feng, you're about to become a father. Are you happy?"
"The reason I didn't tell you is that I didn't want you to have any worries."
"I know you are currently facing attacks from the Lin family and the Hua family. Therefore, I hope you can move forward with a lighter burden and not let me and the child affect you."
Tang Wan gazed at Lin Feng with tender affection, like a gentle wife thinking of her husband.
Lin Feng nodded shamefully, sat beside Tang Wan, and gently embraced her.
"It's my fault. I've been neglecting you. You've been pregnant for so long, and I'm the last to know. It's embarrassing to even speak of."
Lin Feng felt truly remorseful and guilty.
"It's okay. I asked them not to tell you. You've already done enough for me. I feel honored to be able to have a child for you."
Tang Wan didn't care about these things. What she cared about was giving birth to a healthy baby.
Even if something happened to Lin Feng, there would still be someone to carry on his legacy.
"My dear Miss Tang, you don't need to comfort me. From now on, I'll spend more time with you and the child."
Lin Feng stroked Tang Wan's belly. About to become a father, Lin Feng's emotions were indescribably complex.
He had never thought of being a father, nor was he in any way prepared.
Now, receiving such astonishing news, he found it difficult to accept.
But no matter how difficult the road ahead, he would persevere for Tang Wan and the child.
"Alright, you don't need to be so nervous. It's me who's pregnant, not you. Besides, when you weren't here, Aunt Wang took care of me."
"Aunt Wang is truly kind. She cares a lot about the baby in my belly. Knowing you don't have time to look after me, she cooks delicious food for me every day and fusses over me."
"She asked me not to tell you, afraid you'd drive her away."
"However, you really should communicate with Aunt Wang properly. Her health hasn't been good recently. She suddenly fainted earlier."
Tang Wan mentioned Wang Huixin.
Hearing this, Lin Feng's heart became even more complex and uneasy.
"Okay, you wait here for me. I'll go see her."
Lin Feng knew Wang Huixin was queuing for registration and an examination. After instructing Tang Wan, he went to find Wang Huixin.
Arriving at the hospital's registration desk, Lin Feng saw his mother, whom he had refused to acknowledge.
Wang Huixin was holding Tang Wan's belongings and patiently queuing at the registration desk.
At that moment, a woman in her forties suddenly cut in front of Wang Huixin.
"Sister, please don't cut the line. I've been waiting for a long time. My daughter-in-law is waiting for her prenatal check-up, and I'm also in a hurry."
Wang Huixin said kindly.
The woman replied unhappily, "Who are you calling sister? You look only thirty years old. You should call me elder sister!"
"Besides, you should at least make your lies believable. You're so young, and you have a daughter-in-law?"
The woman scrutinized Wang Huixin with disdain.
It was no wonder. Wang Huixin maintained her appearance exceptionally well and looked around thirty years old. Even when walking with Tang Wan, people would mistake them for sisters rather than a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Seeing Wang Huixin being bullied, Lin Feng was about to step forward to defuse the situation.
However, before Lin Feng could make a move, Wang Huixin pulled the woman out of the line.
"Look closely, I'm almost fifty this year. It's perfectly fine for me to call you sister."
"If I, at my age, don't cut the line, do you think it's appropriate for you to cut?"
Wang Huixin said displeasantly and showed her ID card.
Seeing Wang Huixin's ID card, the woman immediately deflated.
"Elder Sister, I didn't know you were older than me. I thought you were young, so I figured I'd just cut in front of you."
The woman's face was filled with embarrassment.
"Now that you know, go to the back of the line. I have more urgent matters than you."
Wang Huixin said coldly and continued queuing.
Lin Feng smiled faintly as he saw Wang Huixin resolve the issue so assertively.
It seemed his mother, whom he refused to acknowledge, was quite formidable at times.
