Upon learning that Xia Enruo was pregnant, no one dared to toast her anymore. Gu Shaoxuan even opened the window and stubbed out his cigarette.

He was like a child who had done something wrong; how could he smoke in front of his wife? Besides, she had just drunk some alcohol.

"Xiangling, will Enruo's recent drinking affect her health?"

Gu Shaoxuan had doubts. He suddenly regretted it. He was busy training in the army every day and didn't even know about his wife's health.

And yesterday there was a passionate lovemaking session. Thinking back to that moment in the bathtub... he really wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet in frustration.

If anything were to happen to his child, he would hate himself to death.

"Brother-in-law, I think Sister Enruo only drank a small cup today. It won't have much of an impact on the fetus, so don't worry."

"I'll accompany Sister Enruo to the hospital for a prenatal checkup this afternoon and just follow the doctor's advice."

"Now that life is better, people care more about pregnancy. I remember that in the past, there were pregnant women who smoked or worked in the fields, and their children were still born healthy."

The human body is not that fragile; our own repair capabilities are incredibly powerful.

Mao Xiangling knew Gu Shaoxuan's concerns, but that was normal. However, from a medical perspective, people often worry too much, or even over-treat.

Humans have evolved for so many years, and are not as vulnerable as we imagine.

"That's right. When I was in the countryside, there were many people in my village who didn't even know they were pregnant, and they were still doing farm work, some even carrying water."

"I only found out when my belly got really big, but it didn't matter. The baby was perfectly healthy."

Ge Qiuqin also said something.

She knew that Gu Shaoxuan must also be worried. You don't know how much you love your child until you become a parent.

Just like now, she doesn't care whether Zhang Xin comes home or not, but the four children must be fed and clothed, and must be safe and happy.

"Shaoxuan, it's okay. I didn't have a good appetite today, so I only drank half a cup. Don't worry about it."

Xia Enruo held her husband's hand to comfort him.

"I'm relieved to see you're alright."

Central Hospital

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yuan Qiang took the two to the hospital.

Xia Enruo registered for an appointment to undergo further examination.

Gu Shaoxuan took meticulous care of her, even helping her up the stairs, afraid that she might have a mishap.

"Shaoxuan, you don't need to be like this. Even though I'm pregnant, I'm not this delicate. You're making me feel like I can't walk anymore."

Xia Enruo was extremely uncomfortable with the sudden overprotection.

I'm used to being efficient and capable, so I'm not used to being this cautious in everything I do today.

"Honey, just listen to me, that way I'll feel at ease. I'm so afraid you'll get hurt!"

After performing an ultrasound and a series of tests, the doctor confirmed that Xia Enruo was indeed two months pregnant with twins.

The two were incredibly excited after hearing this. Gu Shaoxuan almost wanted to jump up, but he couldn't show it in front of the doctors and nurses.

"Doctor, we just found out today that I might be pregnant. My husband had some alcohol this morning. Will that have any effect?"

Gu Shaoxuan still asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Drinking a little alcohol won't have any effect, but you should avoid it in the future, and it's best not to touch alcohol at all."

"The examination showed that both the fetus and the pregnant woman were normal. However, they need to take folic acid for three months, pay attention to a balanced diet, and most importantly, abstain from sexual intercourse."

The doctor held up the lab results and gave instructions.

"Oh, thank you, doctor."

"You're a soldier, right? It's not easy for a military wife to get pregnant. Remember to have a family member by your side at all times, just in case. Especially in the first few months, you need to be extra careful."

The doctor was filled with admiration when he saw Gu Shaoxuan in his military uniform, so he gave him a few more words of comfort.

In the 1980s, soldiers walking down the street would be met with glances from people, which speaks volumes about their status.

Gu Shaoxuan picked up the folic acid prescription from the hospital and led Xia Enruo out of the hospital gate.

Xia En insisted on going to check out the three new stores.

After all, it's the first day of business, so the owner can't just not show up.

She also wanted to know how business was going with the new store.

Gu Shaoxuan originally intended to take his wife home to rest, but he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had to go with her.

The bus was packed with people. He helped Xia Enruo walk inside and found a gap in a corner by the back door.

Gu Shaoxuan had his wife stand inside while he protected her from the outside, afraid that others might crowd her.

As the cars start together, people's bodies involuntarily lean to one side due to inertia.

Xia Enruo hid in the corner, watching Gu Shaoxuan create a protective circle around himself with his body.

The crowd behind him was jostling and swaying, but he still gripped the railing tightly with both hands and stood motionless.

She looked at the handsome man in front of her, with a strong build and short, neat hair, who was looking at her with clear eyes and protecting her.

I was immediately filled with a sense of security; life is truly amazing.

She was surprised to find that her own womb was carrying his genes, and that she had two children who would grow up to be as handsome as him, their mannerisms bearing his very essence.

The alcohol hadn't completely worn off, and Gu Shaoxuan's cheeks were still flushed. Despite feeling stuffy in his military uniform, he dared not let go.

Xia Enruo took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It must be hot."

Gu Shaoxuan nodded.

"You can keep going even in the heat, but is your wife tired?"

"I'm a little tired, but I feel refreshed as soon as I see you."
