Even if it weren't for the little one, Bai Xiuhui would still be willing to take care of Su Yueya, after all, she was her good daughter-in-law!

"I wonder if it's a grandson or a granddaughter?" Bai Xiuhui wondered, the child wasn't even fully formed yet. "If it's a boy, he'll look like Zhengjun; if it's a girl, she'll look like a crescent moon. Both will be beautiful!"

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, they’re all the same, we love them both!” Lu Anguo said.

"Of course!"

Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the dinner table once again.

The news of Su Yueya's pregnancy was like a shot in the arm, injecting fresh vitality into the Lu family and giving Bai Xiuhui and Lu Anguo new hope.

The following day, Su Yueya went to the military hospital for a check-up.

She had considered going to another hospital for a blood test, since Lu Zhengjun's infertility had caused quite a stir at the military hospital, and if she went for a check-up now, the news of her pregnancy would definitely spread.

But then she thought, she hadn’t done anything wrong, so why would she deliberately avoid military hospitals?

When the news of her pregnancy came out, it would be another way to "legitimize" Lu Zhengjun. So Su Yueya went directly to the military hospital and saw an obstetrician for a checkup.

The blood test results came back, and she was indeed pregnant.

"Crescent Moon, congratulations!" a former colleague said.

They were unaware that Lu Zhengjun had sacrificed herself; they simply thought Su Yueya was incredibly lucky to have a child despite her husband's infertility.

Because it was a military marriage, and everyone knew that Su Yueya had also joined the army, naturally no one would suspect that the child was someone else's.

Jiang Xinjia has already been arrested, but the clique that dislikes Su Yueya still exists. Upon hearing the news, they unsurprisingly gathered together to gossip again.

"Su Yueya came to see Dr. Wang in the obstetrics department for a check-up today. She's pregnant. Have you heard?" Qu Yuelin said with a sarcastic tone. Ever since Jiang Xinjia went in, she had become the leader of the clique.

"Pregnant?" Lin Xinyao was extremely shocked. "If I remember correctly, wasn't it said that her husband was infertile? How did this child come about?"

"Who knows? Maybe they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves!" Qu Yuelin smiled ambiguously.

"She does have some tricks up her sleeve. After being suspended from the hospital, she turned around and became a military doctor. If she had stayed at our hospital, wouldn't she have been able to do whatever she wanted?" Song Yexing said, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"It's only because Dr. Jiang went in that... otherwise, do you think Su Yueya would be so arrogant? She even deliberately came to our hospital for a checkup, isn't it obvious that she's just showing off? Bah!"

"Speaking of which, who knew about the child in her belly—"

"Shh! He's a military doctor now, so we can't say anything carelessly, lest we get accused of making things up!" Qu Yuelin said sarcastically.

Su Yueya was unaware of the gossip behind her back. She chatted with Dr. Wang for a while, then left with her test results.

If you ignore gossip, it's nothing.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't be misled by this kind of thing, and those who are misled aren't good people either. Su Yueya understood this very well.

Besides, she's no longer with the military hospital, so these people's gossip won't reach her, so why bother caring?

A pregnant woman's mood is very important, and Su Yueya would not waste a single bit of time and energy on such trivial matters; her heart is now entirely focused on her child.

Next, Su Yueya used the inspection report to submit an application report to her superiors.

When Hu Fangcheng saw this, he quickly called Su Yueya over for a talk.

"Congratulations, Dr. Su!" Hu Fangcheng said. He had some connection with Liu Yuying, and he was naturally happy for them when he learned that Su Yueya was pregnant.

"Thank you, Minister Hu, but I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the later training camps," Su Yueya said.

Beyond rock climbing training, there will be even more practice in the later stages of the training camp. The safest approach is to avoid participating in any of them, as they are quite strenuous.

Moreover, since everyone else knew that Su Yueya was pregnant, no one dared to act rashly when it came to training each other, in case they lost their temper... that could lead to serious consequences.

"Of course you can't train anymore! Don't worry, I'll report this to the higher-ups, and your training camp will be canceled from now on. We'll talk about it later!" Hu Fangcheng said.

Hu Fangcheng would not stop the medical department from continuing to submit the application, and it would be approved quickly, because Su Yueya is still known as the widow of a martyr.

Lu Zhengjun's status in the military is self-evident.

Although his rank was only regimental commander, with the added prestige of being a top soldier, every soldier from top to bottom knew him.

Now that he has sacrificed himself for the mission, the child in Su Yueya's belly is his only bloodline, which is extremely precious and must be handled with utmost care and attention.

"Thank you, Minister!" The smooth progress of the matter put Su Yueya in a great mood.

"Also, the subsequent work needs to be revised," Hu Fangcheng said, showing that he had considered everything thoroughly.

He personally invited a talented person like Su Yueya back then, and now that she's pregnant, he naturally wants her to feel the warmth of the military, otherwise she'll feel disheartened.

It wouldn't sound good if word got out, lest people think the military mistreats pregnant women!

“From now on, until you give birth, during your postpartum period, and while breastfeeding, you won’t need to go on any more missions. In the early stages when you’re feeling okay, you can just go to your regular office work. I’ll explain all of this to everyone. Just do what you’re supposed to do and don’t feel pressured,” Hu Fangcheng said.

"Understood." Su Yueya nodded.

It's good to follow a leader who is reasonable and knows how to conduct himself.

It was precisely because Hu Fangcheng was good at interpersonal relationships and cared about his subordinates that he was able to unite the entire medical department and work together as one—something Su Yueya had experienced firsthand when she had her accident.

It's not that working at the military hospital was bad; in fact, I had very easy-going colleagues and superiors there.

But after all, the scale is too large and the people are too big. Just like a large forest has all kinds of birds, she can't expect everyone to be easy to get along with.

"Minister Hu, actually I'm doing alright right now. I'm a doctor myself, so I'll be extra careful. I should be able to continue my normal work without any problems," Su Yueya said.

She is indeed very careful with this child, but that doesn't mean she's become a fragile doll, unable to withstand even the slightest bump or knock. That would be an exaggeration.

Having never seriously studied pregnancy-related knowledge before, Su Yueya plans to catch up during this relatively free time by reading more books from the library.

Lay a solid foundation for pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.
