Shang Wu was known in circles for having a great life.
When she was down and out, the Cheng Zhou Crown Prince pulled her out of the abyss, doting on and protecting her, unwilling to let her s...
Lu You paused for a moment while pouring water, then resumed her normal actions. She handed the glass to Shang Wu, took a tissue, and slowly wiped her fingers, her tone revealing little emotion.
"Feeling? It would be a lie to say I have none at all. After all, we've been entangled for so long. Even if my heart is a stone, it has been warmed up."
She laughed self-deprecatingly, "But feelings are the most unreliable thing."
She raised her head, looked out the window, and her voice became calm and clear: "Cheng Zhou is quite attractive at times, passionate and direct, even a little silly, but Shang Wu, marriage is not just a matter between two people, it is a matter between two families."
"Look at the Cheng family, with a spoiled, lawless sister who could cause any trouble at any moment, not to mention their parents who can't distinguish right from wrong. Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated."
"I, Lu You, have worked hard for so many years, not to jump into such a fire pit to save anyone, or to deal with these exhausting and tedious things every day."
Her tone became firm: "People have to learn to be kinder to themselves. If you know it's a quagmire, you can't let yourself get trapped because of a momentary soft heart or some insignificant feeling. You have to cut your losses in time and stay clear-headed so that you can live a comfortable life."
Shang Wu listened, his eyes revealing sincere admiration and agreement.
"Sister You, you are so insightful. I wish I had half your clarity and decisiveness."
She often finds herself caught in a tug-of-war between various emotions and responsibilities.
Lu You always seems to be able to clearly draw boundaries and protect herself.
Lu You was amused by her and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"You're just too thoughtful and overthink things. But now you have A-Rang, he protects you like the apple of his eye, so you don't need to worry too much."
As they were chatting and laughing, Shang Wu suddenly felt a wave of nausea wash over her without warning.
She abruptly covered her mouth, her face instantly turning pale.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lu You immediately came over with concern and patted her back.
Shang Wu shook her head, suppressing the discomfort: "No, I probably just drank too much water..."
Before she could finish speaking, another wave of even stronger nausea hit her. She couldn't hold it in any longer, gagged a few times, and hurriedly threw off the covers to get out of bed and go to the bathroom.
Lu You quickly helped her up, took the slippers from the bedside, and led her into the bathroom.
Shang Wu gagged at the toilet, but since she hadn't eaten much, she couldn't vomit anything. She just felt terrible in her stomach, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lu You gently patted her back, looking at her pale face, when suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
She asked in a slightly joking tone, "Ah Wu, you don't seem to be pregnant, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu, who was feeling unwell, was suddenly startled and froze.
Got it?
Pregnant?
This possibility, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand waves in her heart.
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her still flat stomach, her heart suddenly racing.
Lu You observed her reaction, and her guess became even more certain. She continued, "Is your period late? Have you been feeling tired lately, or have you had a poor appetite?"
Shang Wu's mind went blank.
She tried hard to recall when her last period was.
It seems we are indeed almost a week late.
She had been so frightened by her injury and all sorts of things had happened that she hadn't paid any attention to this matter. Moreover, she seemed to be easily fatigued lately, and she thought it was because she was weak after the injury.
So it turns out she's pregnant?
Seeing Shang Wu's stunned expression, Lu You already knew what was going on.
"Is it really too late? My God, let's go, let's go get checked out right now!"
Shang Wu was still bewildered, somewhat at a loss as Lu You pulled her along: "Now? But..."
"But what? This is a big deal, we must confirm it immediately!"
Lu You acted swiftly, immediately ringing the bell to call a nurse and briefly explaining the situation.
She borrowed a wheelchair and pushed the still somewhat dazed Shang Wu, heading briskly towards the obstetrics and gynecology department.
After a series of tests, the results came out quickly.
In the examination room, the doctor looked at the test results and smiled as he said to them, "Congratulations, Ms. Shang, you are pregnant, about five weeks along."
I'm pregnant.
I'm really pregnant.
Shang Wu held the thin lab report, looking at the small ultrasound image of what was still just a gestational sac, her fingers trembling slightly.
Her emotions were indescribably complicated.
She felt disbelief, a faint, instinctive joy, but mostly panic and helplessness.
child……
It's her and Lu Rang's child...
"That's wonderful, Ah Wu! You're going to be a mother! Ah Rang will be ecstatic when he finds out!" Lu You was overjoyed and couldn't help but hug Shang Wu, her voice trembling with excitement.
She was genuinely happy for her brother and Shang Wu.
Shang Wu forced a smile and responded to Lu You's hug, but she became increasingly at a loss.
"Doctor, she was injured before, took a lot of medicine, and was also very frightened. Will this affect the baby?" Lu You asked quickly, not forgetting Shang Wu's physical condition.
After carefully inquiring about the medication, the doctor examined Shang Wu's foot injury and cautiously said, "Initial medication does require caution, but fortunately, it's an anti-inflammatory and topical medication, so the impact is relatively small."
Lu You thanked the doctor and pushed Shang Wu, who was still in a daze, back to the ward.
She excitedly pulled out her phone: "Quick, quick, tell Arjen this good news! If he finds out..."
