Fang Zhicheng also made a random suggestion. He didn't expect Ning Xiangcao to actually approve of this plan. He replied with a smile, "Then we'll split it in half and buy her a mid-range car worth 200,000 yuan. How about that?"
Ning Xiangcao thought that if she was going to give a gift, she had to give a good one. However, considering Ning Yulan's personality, a car worth more than 200,000 yuan would be too ostentatious and high-profile. She would not accept it. She smiled and replied, "Then I'll listen to you. I can pay a little more. Just show your appreciation."
Fang Zhicheng thought about it and remembered that it was Ning Xiangcao’s birthday and she had been nearby for a while, so he asked, “Second sister, what gift do you want for your birthday?”
Ning Xiangcao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Little sister, you have improved a lot. I am a little touched that you even remembered my birthday."
Fang Zhicheng hesitated for a while, then typed a few words, "I am your brother-in-law. She may not remember me, but I will definitely remember."
Ning Xiangcao stared at the text in a daze, her wrists trembling with surprise. After a long while, she sent a message asking, "Why did you lie to me? Where is she? Did they collude to make fun of me?"
Fang Zhicheng could sense Ning Qiangwei's inner complexities, so he sighed and typed: "She was a little tired today and had gone to bed early. I saw that you sent a lot of messages, so I replied to you on her behalf. You didn't ask me who I was before, so I answered you with words. I didn't lie to you."
Ning Xiangcao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Okay, I forgive you, go to bed early."
Fang Zhicheng quickly asked, "You haven't told me what gift you want for your birthday yet?"
Ning Xiangcao thought about it and replied, "Delete the chat history tonight."
Fang Zhicheng asked: "Why?"
Ning Xiangcao replied: "I don't want my little sister to misunderstand?"
Fang Zhicheng curled his lips, "What misunderstanding? Is there any problem between us?"
Ning Xiangcao sighed and replied, "Listen to me and delete the record. This is for the good of both of you. Don't think Qiangwei knows nothing. She looks carefree on the outside, but she actually knows everything on the inside. Once, she drank a lot of wine and came to me, knelt down in front of me, and asked me to forgive her. Because she knew that she had taken away the most important thing of mine."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and replied: "Am I that thing?"
Ning Xiangcao smiled bitterly and replied: "You are nothing!"
The two of them tacitly agreed not to reply to each other's messages. Fang Zhicheng thought about it and decided to follow Ning Xiangcao's advice and delete the message. When he learned that Ning Qiangwei had had this experience, Fang Zhicheng felt a pain in his heart and suddenly realized that he was a little selfish.
There is a precious person hidden in everyone's heart. Sometimes it is most beautiful not to touch them.
Incompleteness is beautiful, at least it will always keep a memory in the hearts of Fang Zhicheng and Ning Xiangcao.
The next morning, Fang Zhicheng came back from morning exercise and Ning Qiangwei woke up leisurely. Seeing that she didn't look well, Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "Do you have a cold? Shall I take you to the hospital for a checkup?"
Ning Qiangwei rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng in annoyance and said in a hoarse voice, "How could I be sick?" After that, she forced herself to go to the bathroom to wash up. After about ten seconds, Fang Zhicheng heard the sound of retching coming from inside. Fang Zhicheng's heart tightened and he pushed the door open.
Ning Qiangwei was lying beside the basin, startled and a little embarrassed. She asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm still worried about you, right?"
Ning Qiangwei ignored him completely, quickly swung her calf and kicked him. Fang Zhicheng subconsciously jumped out of the bathroom, shook his head helplessly, and then walked towards the restaurant.
After Ning Qiangwei came out of the bathroom, she found Su Qing first and whispered a few words in her ear. Su Qing's brows relaxed, and joy appeared in her eyes. She quickly shouted to Fang Zhicheng, "Zhicheng, please ask for leave and accompany Qiangwei to the hospital."
Fang Zhicheng was drinking soy milk and asked in surprise: "Is she still feeling uncomfortable?"
Su Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "It seems your wife is pregnant."
"God has eyes!" Fang Zhicheng opened his mouth wide, stunned. His first reaction was to thank God and the earth. The bullet finally hit the bull's eye and he was finally out of misery.
He reacted quickly, trotting over, gently hugged Ning Qiangwei's shoulders, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said, "Thank you, honey. We finally got what we wanted."
Su Qing stood nearby, tears in the corners of her eyes. She gently wiped away a few drops, her mood indescribable.
They came to the PLA General Hospital and had a blood test, which basically confirmed the fact of pregnancy. Pregnancy can usually be detected with a test strip after seven days. Fang Zhicheng counted on his fingers and found that Ning Qiangwei had actually succeeded on her first night back in Yanjing.
Ning Qiangwei gently stroked her belly, which had not changed at all, and asked happily, "Honey, do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I don't have X-ray vision, so how can I know his gender? Also, even if we use scientific methods, we have to wait until the child is three months old. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, he is the fruit of our love and the continuation of our lives."
Ning Qiangwei pouted and smiled: "But I hope he is a boy."
Fang Zhicheng didn't expect Ning Qiangwei to favor boys over girls, and asked in surprise: "Why?"
Ning Qiangwei lowered her voice and said, "Because my dad particularly likes boys."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "What does our child have to do with dad?"
Ning Qiangwei smiled and said, "If he was a boy, he could do things that I can't do in my life."
"Go to the battlefield?" Fang Zhicheng laughed.
Ning Qiangwei nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, if he was a boy, I would definitely send him to the battlefield, experience the trials of blood and fire, and make him a person who can contribute to the country."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head, took Ning Qiangwei's hand, and said in a low voice: "Whether he is a boy or a girl, I just hope that he can live a good life, grow up normally, get married and have children, and have a stable and decent job. As for charging into battle and making sacrifices for the sake of the country, that is my business."
Ning Qiangwei rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said unhappily, "How can you educate your child like this?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I have always been selfish, petty, and stingy. You know that."
Ning Qiangwei quickened her pace and whispered, "Baby, we don't care about selfish people."
Fang Zhicheng looked at Ning Qiangwei's back and smiled helplessly. He understood why Ning Qiangwei thought this way, because the education she received was completely different from his own. The two had different world views and values. In the future, there would inevitably be many disputes in the process of the child's growth.
