"Is there anything else, my love?"
Xiran nodded lightly with a light blush as she bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
Slowly gathering her courage, she raised her head to look at him, gazing directly into his eyes as she said slowly:
"I have something else to tell you, dearest!..."
Ashen genuflected, getting to her eye level before asking softly: "Yes. Tell me. What is it, my love?"
Xiran, taking a deep breath, holding her embarrassment and joy back, announced: "I'm pregnant!"
"Huh?..."
It seems I misheard something...
It can't be what I heard, right?
I should clear my ears before listening again...
Ashen stood up before putting his finger into his ear and yanking it nonstop to clear any dirt there may be.
He again knelt back in front of Xiran before requesting, "Xiran, my love, can you repeat what you just said one more time?"
Xiran nodded in understanding before taking a deep breath again and holding her joy.
"I... no, We- Are- Pregnant!!"
