But at the time, Chen Rou remembered a doctor telling her that life is incredibly powerful and tenacious, so even in the face of natural disasters, famine, and war like in 1942, tens of millions of babies were still born.

Therefore, it is impossible for a fetus to fall out just by running and jumping, as Nie Zhao said.

He is like a seed; even if he starts as just two tiny sprouts, he will grow into a towering tree as long as he is exposed to wind and rain.

The thought of the tender little sprout filled Chen Rou with a sudden wave of sadness.

This was the first time she had ever touched her belly so carefully. Would that little sprout, like she had when she was a child, long for her parents' love? If he or she knew that his or her mother disliked his or her birth so much, would he or she be sad?

But then she immediately thought that it is said that when a woman is pregnant, her body is controlled by hormones, making her involuntarily love the child. So, is she now being controlled by hormones?

She actually fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, the car was at the hospital entrance, and Nie Zhao was sitting next to her.

Chen Rou asked, "We're already here, why didn't you wake me up?"

Nie Zhao must be out of his mind. He laughed and said, "You're pregnant, you need to rest more."

Chen Rou thought for a moment: "The dean, nurses, and doctors are all still waiting for me?"

Nie Zhao said, "Xiao An will give them red envelopes as a thank you for their hard work."

Even if he does pay, it's not good to make people wait anxiously after work.

Since Nie Zhao wants to have an ultrasound, let's do it to put his mind at ease. Chen Rou can also confirm whether she is really pregnant, and if so, how many days along the fetus is.

Of course, the ultrasound equipment upstairs was ready, and Dean Wu, Director Liu, the secretary, and a group of nurses who had received red envelopes were still there, voluntarily working overtime, waiting for someone.

It was unrealistic to ask Chen Rou to hold her urine, so she had a transvaginal ultrasound, and the results came back quickly.

For Nie Zhao, it all seemed like a dream.

There are photos. When a beam of light shines on a small, bean-pod-like object, the ultrasound clearly shows it to be about 20cm long, about the size of a small egg. It's still a gestational sac, and there's no fetal heartbeat yet.

But that was the beginnings of a baby.

The words of someone who has received a red envelope are sweet: "Congratulations to Chairman Nie on the birth of your son. The baby looks perfectly normal so far. Just follow the doctor's instructions for regular check-ups."

The head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, who had just been urgently summoned, said, "You two are at the best age to conceive a baby. Secretary An just gave me your medical examination reports, which I have reviewed. There is no need to worry at all, especially Chairman Nie, who neither smokes nor drinks and whose various health indicators are excellent. There is even less need to worry about you."

If the sperm and egg are of good quality, the baby will be outstanding.

Although the doctors were in it for the bribes, they genuinely admired the richest man. After all, it's easy to get a poor person to be self-disciplined, but it's not so easy to get a rich person to be self-disciplined.

A self-disciplined billionaire deserves a child as outstanding as himself.

Amidst everyone's praise, Nie Zhao gradually lost himself, already convinced that his baby would definitely be a little genius. But of course, from now on, everything was going to change.

Actually, Chen Rou didn't care, but once they got into the elevator, Nie Zhao looked at Ram and said, "From now on, you must take a shower twice a day."

Ram is Latino and has a strong body odor. It was fine before Chen Rou was aware that she was experiencing morning sickness, but now that they know she is pregnant and sensitive to smells, Ram has to make sure he cleans himself up a bit.

Ram held up three fingers and said in Cantonese, "Bingo!"

Nie Zhao looked at his wife again, her appearance exactly like a lackey: "From now on, Song Zai will be your personal follower?"

Chen Rou must go to the Philippines again, and of course she will take Song Yuanchao with her, but for now, she doesn't need to. She is used to going alone and doesn't like having someone following her around when she goes out.

But she didn't want to contradict Nie Zhao directly, so she said, "We'll talk about it later."

However, after getting off the elevator, Nie Zhao said, "Let's stay at a hotel tonight and not go home."

Chen Rou frowned: "Why?"

She is particular about her bed and doesn't like staying in hotel rooms, always feeling that she doesn't get a good rest.

Nie Zhao smiled and was about to say something when the phone suddenly rang. She answered it, and Nie Rong's voice came through: "Arou, ask Azhao if he wants to see me die before he's satisfied. If so, I'll die right now in front of him."

Nie Zhao suddenly glared at Secretary An.

Secretary An was startled, but said, "That shouldn't be the case. The old man shouldn't have a phone with him."

Chen Rou checked the number and said, "He's in the wine cellar, right? He used the emergency phone in the safe to make the call."

Looking at Nie Zhao again, he asked, "What exactly happened at home?"

While waiting for the report, Nie Zhao called Wade, who then led a group of people transferred from the company to the Nie family mansion. Several of the old man's close associates, A-Kuan, A-Hui, and A-Fa, were immediately taken into custody.

Then Wade invited the old man into the wine cellar, saying that the two of them would have a drink.

As a result, he locked the door behind him and started packing up the old man's bedroom.

That's right, it's packing up the entire bedroom.

Not only clothes and shoes, but also books, seals, antiques, and even the old man's bed were disassembled and packed up.

He brought a dozen or so people, and they're still busy searching and packing.

Nie Rong was locked in the wine cellar without any power to resist, and he was utterly helpless and frustrated.
