Su Tang held the warm, red egg, her surprised gaze falling on Lin Jianqiu's slightly rounded belly. "Really? That's wonderful! Sister Qiu, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't get too tired."
Lin Jianqiu's cheeks had the characteristic glow of early pregnancy. She gently placed her fingertips on her belly, the smile in her eyes as sweet as honeyed spring water.
"I only got it confirmed at the hospital yesterday. I still can't quite believe it."
She turned to Chang Jia, her tone one of mock complaint.
"This guy was so excited he couldn't sleep last night and just had to come over first thing this morning to give you the eggs."
Chang Jia scratched his head, a goofy grin on his face. "How could I not be? This baby came at the perfect time. I'm over the moon."
As he spoke, he straightened his back, as if a great weight had suddenly been placed on his shoulders—a weight he was more than happy to bear.
