Chapter 1133: Chapter 27: Buying a Supplemental Ticket

“Huh?”

The old TCM doctor’s words left the four members of the Lin family completely dumbfounded.

Lin Xian, his mother, and father looked at each other, speechless and choking back words.

Zhao Yingjun’s eyes widened even more; she felt like even her breath had stopped, not daring to turn around! She didn’t even dare to lift her head!

After that, time seemed to fast forward.

Zhao Yingjun couldn’t remember, nor did she dare to recall, how they got through it.

She hastily made the excuse that there was an emergency at work, grabbed Lin Xian, and quickly left. They got into the sedan and sped away at the speed of light.

“What are you doing?!”

Zhao Yingjun punched Lin Xian’s arm:

“No, this is my first time meeting your parents, and you organize something like this! How am I supposed to face them in the future! What will your parents think of me!”

“Wait, wait, I’m driving, I’m driving…”

On the highway, Lin Xian hurriedly steadied the steering wheel, equally unsettled, frowning:

“This, I didn’t expect this either. Who knew that my grandpa was so amazing! Who could have expected that while giving you a dose of traditional medicine, the pulse check would actually reveal it.”

“This is too mystical, right? I never believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine before, I thought my grandpa was just a charlatan, but who knew he was so skilled in disguise!”

“Hehe.”

Zhao Yingjun snorted coldly:

“You’re pretty skillful yourself, Lin Xian, quite accurate.”

“I do indeed have good gun skills,” Lin Xian nodded, admitting it.

“You still have the cheek to say that!”

Zhao Yingjun glared at her and sighed, covering her face with her right hand:

“You’ve made me lose face completely in front of your parents. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life, I really wanted to crawl into a hole when your grandpa discovered it during the pulse check.”

“What a situation, eh? It’s overwhelming enough for me to visit your home for the first time. You’ve already told your parents that we’ve only been dating for a month, they haven’t even pressed us… and look what happens; you deliver a huge surprise by bringing up a child!”

“Indeed, indeed, it’s my fault,” Lin Xian nodded, willing to take the blame.

This matter…

It wasn’t that they were unprepared psychologically, but neither of them expected it to happen so quickly.

Especially as both of them lacked experience in this field. Colleagues around them tried long and hard to conceive, consulting with TCM doctors, undergoing treatments; Pregnancy seemed difficult to achieve.

Even a senior colleague from MX Company, almost 10 years into her marriage without conceiving any child, had spent hundreds of thousands on IVF treatments, having attempted it many times only to lose the embryo midway. She suffered so much without success that she was practically on the brink of a breakdown.

Who would have thought.

Both of them unprepared, not planning the pregnancy, not calculating the timing, and they hit the mark in just one month?

Although Lin Xian always prided himself as a speed runner in games.

But with this kind of matter, was there really a need to speed run?

Today’s event, he felt embarrassed too, let alone looking at it from Zhao Yingjun’s perspective… it was excruciatingly awkward.

Just previously he had warned his parents against placing inverted pressure to marry or have children; there wasn’t even a hint of it.

And then, the old TCM doctor, his grandpa, chuckled with a “Hehe” smile:

“A pulse of joy!”

At that moment, Lin Xian’s mind felt as if it had been struck by a white light, his head spinning, as if in a dream.

He had indeed boasted big claims to Zhao Yingjun before.

But this event had come so unexpectedly, he truly wasn’t prepared at all mentally.

“Ah…”

Zhao Yingjun sighed again, her emotions settling down considerably:

“I’m not blaming you, getting pregnant takes two hands to clap. I’m to blame too, and I was prepared for this.”

“It’s just… being exposed in front of your parents has made me feel a bit disgraced. Some things can go out of order, but there are some things where the sequence can’t be wrong.”

“I understand.”

Lin Xian turned on the left turn signal, completing a lane change:

“I will take responsibility. As for my parents, I’ll explain everything to them clearly, the main fault lies with me after all.”

“The main issue now is…”

He turned his head to glance at Zhao Yingjun’s abdomen, then raising his head to meet Zhao Yingjun’s stern gaze, he smiled slightly:

“Although everything is progressing quickly, maybe it’s time to schedule some things.”

“Get real.”

Zhao Yingjun placed her hand on her abdomen, turning her head to look at the scenery flying past outside:

“That would be letting you off too easily, feels like I’m giving myself away for nothing.”

Having said that.

There was silence for a while.

Then she inexplicably broke into laughter:

“Why does it feel like, between us two, we’re always getting on the train before buying the ticket?”

“We haven’t even come together yet, but the kid is already here.”

“We haven’t even married, and I’m already pregnant.”

“Between you and me, we haven’t even had a proper date and you’ve already won me over.”

“We had plans to go to Copenhagen, but before the appointment, you’ve already been there with the future me.”

“Sometimes I wonder, with all the magical things in the world, is it possible–”

“[That we actually met each other before you knew me?]”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“That shouldn’t be possible. Before I went to university, I never left Hang City; you went abroad for studies when you were in your teens, and when you came back you went straight to East Sea. Our first encounter should have been when I graduated from Donghai University and started working at MX Company.”

“From the perspective of physics, it’s impossible that we met before, even my first meeting with Huang Que was in your office, also after meeting you.”

“So… this might be the rare case between us where we didn’t get on first before buying a ticket.”

Zhao Yingjun closed her eyes.
