Because I simply love you Chapter 172: The tiny life

Chapter 172: The tiny life

First, it was the turn of the expecting parents to be zapped by this thousand volt of electrifying shocking truth. And now, it was the parent’s parents turn.
The sudden news of Nana’s pregnancy started yet another same cycle of disbelief and incredulity.
Liu Hai wanted to hear it once again and asked, “Jinhai, is this true?”
Jinhai nodded.
After what happened on the night of the banquet, there was no question about the father’s identity.
“Grandfather…”, Liu Hai mumbled. “I’m going to be a grandfather.” The delight of coming to know the news of his grandchild’s arrival was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Jing suddenly coughed, making Liu Hai glance at him.
‘Dad! Yes, this is the best news we have heard until now, but don’t be so obvious about it. Uncle and Aunt Chen and Xiang’s are also here.’ He secretly indicated his finger towards them.
Liu Hai cleared his throat.
That’s correct. I need to control myself.
Huian cried, “This is lies. That b*tch is fooling everybody. This is her plan to trap Jinhai!”
The twins furiously looked at her.
Zhou Bingwen coldly said, “Enough. Don’t shout. My patient is resting. This is not your villa. This is Zhou residence. And if you can’t follow the decorum here, then get out.”
Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge were startled to see Zhou Bingwen talking so harshly to Huian. This had never happened before.
Xiang Wei said, “Zhou Bingwen, is something the matter?”
He snorted. “Why don’t you ask your daughter? She has no respect for elders.” He narrated the whole incident.
They were flabbergasted.
Insulting Zhou family!?
Zhou Shan looked resentfully at Huian.
Xiang Qingge berated. “Huian! How can you talk so disrespectfully to him? Did you forget who he is?”
“No, I didn’t recognize him! I haven’t seen him for years-“
“That is not an excuse. You cannot talk to an elder like that, be it him or anybody else even if you don’t know them.”
Zhou Bingwen snorted. “Hmph. Huian lacks even basic manners. And anyway you can admonish her later on. She has done too many things for that. It will take the whole day. For now, please don’t crowd here and let Nana rest.”
Jinhai said, “I want to stay beside her when she wakes up.”
Apart from Liu Hai and Jing, everybody else looked at him wide-eyed.
Zhou Bingwen stared at him hard. “Alright. But make sure not to disturb her.”
He nodded and went inside.
Huian lost it. “How can Jinhai-“
Zhou Shan couldn’t take it anymore. “One more word, and I will call the guards. Your choice.”
How she dare talk to my husband like that? Only I can bully Zhou Bingwen.
Huian shut up. She cannot afford to leave from here at this point.

Jinhai quietly entered the room and saw Nana sleeping peacefully. He sat on the bed beside her, looking at her with indecipherable emotions. He started to pat her head gently.
His sight went on to her stomach.
He could not help but be overwhelmed with happiness once again. The tiny life breathing inside her is proof of their love.
Nana and my child…I’m going to be a father.
It felt so surreal. His eyes glistened in tears.
Jinhai bent down and softly kissed her belly. He touched it, his hand still quivering a little.
Then he remembered how Huian had tried to push her.
What if I hadn’t come today? What if Nana and our baby got hurt?
Only the thought was more than enough to make him shudder in fear. His expression darkened in rage, his eyes shrouded in a blood-thirsty gaze, and his aura turned frigid cold.
Even if her pregnancy came as a shock to Nana, he knew that she wouldn’t have been able to bear their child’s loss. He knew that just as he loves their unborn child, she will too. She would be shocked, she would be frightened of the consequences, but she will definitely love their child. She wouldn’t have been able to cope with any accident.
He softly said, his voice being low, but carrying a firm and resolute tone. “I won’t let anything happen to you or our baby. Never. I will protect both of you, I promise.”
—
Outside, the atmosphere was too dark and gloomy. Everybody seemed as if they wanted to say something, but at the same time, they did not.
Liu Hai was fidgeting a lot, but he was trying to calm down. He was eager to meet Nana. Internally he was bursting in excitement, but he wasn’t even able to express it.
Jing looked at his father in disdain.
This old man will give away everything!
Jing was also thrilled to know that he is going to become an uncle, but he was not a lost cause like his father in trying to conceal it.
Hehe, I will make all the birthday and party clothes for my nephew or niece. He had already started planning on the color and designs.
As the father-son duo was busy contemplating among themselves, Liu Chunhua broke the silence. “The matter…has become even more difficult with Nana’s pregnancy. I don’t understand what we should do now.”
She was torn apart. On one side, the news of her grandchild did make her happy. But on the other side…
Huian suddenly became strangely calm about this. She looked at her. “Mom, what is the confusion? Don’t you remember what Jinhai had said when we argued? He doesn’t want a child. He will not accept Nana’s baby.”
