Silence. Absolute silence.
Shinfelt so quiet that even the sound of the crashing waves and strong wind blowing past him didn't make any difference. The only words resounding in his ears were 'Because I am pregnant!'
That one sentence blocked everything else and all his senses. He was in a stupor for a long time.
Shin stared at Huian for God knew how long, and after a long period of silence, the only thing that he uttered was, "What?"
Now the panic finally set in Huian as she realized that she blurted out the truth.
Of course, she never thought to hide it from him, but she was still thinking about how to break the news to him. But, now, she suddenly said it herself without carefully planning the conversation she wanted to do with him once they returned to Beijing.
"You are pregnant?"
Her heart pounded in her chest with speed akin to a bullet train.
"Yes…"
