"I can't believe you get angry over this. Fine, I'll go. I'll head home with you, alright? It would be a waste for their little stage play if there's no audience." Huo Yunting loosened his grip, "Well, good night. We'll see tomorrow."
Good night for him. Insomnia for her.
Lu Zhaoyang was worried about her mother's health who was already 45 years old. Pregnancy would be draining for her and devastating for her child. On the other hand, she was also thinking about ways to put up an act with Huo Yunting as innocent brother and sister too. When she thought she could spend her life next year in serenity, two colossal dilemmas struck her.
Despite her slight insomnia, she woke up very early in the morning the next day. Huo Yunting was being cooperative by booking the earliest flight to the capital over a few taps on his phone right after the lights were turned on.
When they got off the cab, they could hear Huo Zhenning's chuckle outside. It was unexpected to hear such bubbly laugh from a stern father like him. It was also unexpected for the father himself as well, that he would actually have his own child late into his old age one day.
"Oh wow, such excitement, so it's true eh?" said Huo Yunting loudly as he pushed the door open, "Look at you, like a father having his first child. Don't tell me I'm the one picked up from the trash can." With his hands in the pockets of his coat, he sauntered towards the living room. Lu Zhaoyang glanced at him and rolled her eyes. She was not in the mood to be the judge between the two boxers.
"Sweetie, you're here!" Madam Xue, sitting on her sofa, gave a broad smile to her daughter. In spite of the bad blood that happened between them before, she still wanted to share her overflowing joy with her daughter.
"Careful, dear. You'll alert the child." Huo Zhenning went to hold Madam Xue before she tried getting up from the couch. He tapped her hand gently, "Have a good rest." He still grinned and welcomed Huo Yunting and his sister even though Huo Yunting hurled his usual insult at him.
"Daddy, mommy," greeted Lu Zhaoyang courteously.
"Yunting, Yang Yang, come, sit next to me," invited Madam Xue with her hand waving.
Huo Yunting casually walked past Lu Zhaoyang and sat at the other corner of the couch, staring into the air.
The audience was ready to watch the play by the two well-known actor and actress.
"Congratulations, mommy!" Zhaoyang sounded joyful too at first, but her expression tightened, "But… I am informed that pregnancy at an age 35 and beyond is considered an advanced maternal age. From what I know, I think…" The bright smile from Madam Xue was challenging for Lu Zhaoyang to burst the elderly's bubble, "I think it would be too risky since your body is not strong. I had done researches and apparently an advanced mother would have a higher likelihood of getting a premature birth and other problems—Have you considered all these, mother?"
Well, granny might have given birth to Chen before—however not anyone can be as fortunate as her! It would be a gamble with a cost too great…
Lu Zhaoyang was not making a baseless assumption. The horror stories on Google were not that pleasing to see. The more pages she read, the more worried she got. Madam Xue had to face not only the chances of getting a preterm birth, but also a high possibility of a fetal death as well as a child with birth defects.
"In simpler words, I just think it's not suitable for mother to get a child now."
Her concern was heard by the elderlies yet the elderlies only responded her with a friendly smile.
"It's okay, Yang Yang. Everything will be alright. It's a gift from god, after all. It's a life and I wouldn't give it up so easily." Madam Xue turned to look at Huo Zhenning and then rested against his shoulder, "Your father and I had decided to try this."
Madam Xue might have been looking at Lu Zhaoyang throughout the conversation, but most of the time her stare passed through her and landed upon the nonchalant man at the other side of the couch.
It will work, Yang. Don't worry. Your mother has got this. Huo Yunting is the only son of Huo Zhenning. My status in the family will be reinforced if I am able to bring my husband another child.
Who knows? Maybe that child will be the chosen heir to succeed the Huo family too.
At the very least, I'll be officially recognized as the woman from the Huo family.
It's worth it!
