Chapter 592 - Am I going to be a Father? (2/2)
”-_-”
Everyone was shocked hearing her words. Shuren was surprised as a bright smile appeared on her face. She clasped her hands and was about to congratulate her and Ji Cheng but when she glanced at Ji Cheng, his expressions were stiff and puzzled.
” You're pregnant? Why didn't you tell me? When did you find out? ” He was speechless when she casually said that she is eating for two.
It's not that he is not happy but he is more shocked. She knows that she is pregnant but she hasn't told him yet? It's such good news, why hasn't she told him yet?
Zhao Ming was surprised to see him acting like this. What is he saying?
” Who is pregnant? Me? When did I say that?” She asked with her bewildered expressions. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

Ji Cheng stared at her with puzzled expressions and said, ” You just said that you are eating for two. Didn't you mean to say that I am going to be a father?”
His heart was beating fast in confusion and worry. She just said that she is eating for two but why does her expression say something else?
He felt a different kind of emotion in just a few minutes.
Zhao Ming stared at him and blinked her eyes in confusion, ” Does it mean to be pregnant? I thought that Grandmother is asking if I am eating for the second time. That's why I said that I am eating for two.”
She didn't have any idea that this phrase has this kind of meaning. Couldn't she just ask if she is pregnant or not? Why make words so complicated? Since she didn't understand what she meant, she just assumed that she was asking about her servings.
These kinds of phrases were used in her world as well but since she never met an expecting woman, she had no idea what phrases are used for pregnant women.
Her vocabulary is simple and direct. No complicated words

Everyone was speechless hearing Zhao Ming's explanation. Especially Shuren and Ji Cheng. They were expecting good news but Zhao Ming poured cold water on it.
On the other hand, Xiao Li's lips curled up in a relieved smile. She resumed eating while Shuren and Ji Cheng's appetite reduced after their expectations were crushed by Zhao Ming.
Ji Cheng glanced at her as he saw her eating noodles with such gusto and wondered how amazing it would be if she became the mother of his child.
He couldn't help but be overwhelmed with the emotions of thinking to have his own children.
He never got to experience the affection and care of a father because his father had died when he was young and after that, studies, battle training, and the pressure to take over the throne became a burden for him.
He couldn't experience the joy of childhood and has seen the bodies covered in blood at a very tender age and had experienced the cruelty of the battleground.
The Old Emperor who was his grandfather had managed the throne and it's responsibilities until he turned the eligible age to take over the throne.
He glanced at Zhao Ming and smiled thinking about the future when she will get pregnant with his child. Shuren noticed him glancing at Zhao Ming with his tender gaze while eating, she couldn't help but wonder, was this boy always this affectionate?
