Kai Xin looked at Mrs. Smith with a blank look as if she did not understand what the woman was saying. When Mrs. Smith pointed to Kai Xin's stomach where her hand was still rested on it protectively, the latter immediately dropped her hand.

Knowing that she was pregnant, Mrs. Smith was worried about the fall earlier and asked, "Should we go to the hospital and get it checked out?"
"No!" hissed Kai Xin. Looking around, she made sure that no one was paying any attention to them before whispering, "We are keeping it a secret for as long as possible. I'm fine! Really!"
Before Mrs. Smith could ask anything else, she continued, "Please keep this to yourself, Mrs. Smith."
Mrs. Smith looked at her with a curious gaze. Pregnancy was a joyous matter and most women who were lucky enough to be carrying President Du's child would have made it known to everyone.
