A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
In the early morning, when a ray of light shone into the house, Yan Mo slowly opened her eyes. Recently, she had gotten used to getting up early and would wake up on time. What was rare was that the man holding her had not woken up yet, but she was reluctant to wake him up.
She raised her eyelids and stared at his resolute sleeping face for a long time, kissed him on the cheek, gently removed the arms around her waist, slowly got up, tiptoed off the bed, went to the bathroom, and after washing, quietly opened the door, walked out of the room with light steps.
At this time, the rest of the Si family had not yet gotten up, and the servants had begun to bustle about. Seeing Yan Mo, they all greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Madam."
"Good morning." Yan Mo nodded lightly, walked through the hall and came to the back garden. She took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at the green garden. She was in a very good mood.
The gardener who was pruning branches put down the pruning shears and was about to go forward to say hello, but Yan Mo raised his hand to stop him and stepped deep into the back garden to observe the plants up close.
After waiting for an hour or so, the light white mist in the sky gradually dissipated, and the early morning sun peeked out slightly, shining on the garden.
At this time, a clear male voice sounded:
"Morning, Madam Si."
Yan Mo looked up and saw the person coming in the direction of the voice. It was Wu Haishen. He was wearing a white coat and followed by a young nurse carrying a medicine box. He walked in from the back door.
"Good morning, Doctor Wu." Yan Mo nodded and responded with a smile. She knew that the old man was old and had a routine physical examination every day. The doctor who examined the old man was Wu Haishen.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Wu Haishen walked straight into the house without stopping.
Suddenly, Yan Mo, who was standing where he was, remembered something and immediately called out to him:
"Doctor Wu, wait."
"Mrs. Si, what's wrong?" Wu Haishen stopped, turned around, and looked at Yan Mo who was running towards him in confusion.
Yan Mo stepped up the stairs and came to Wu Haishen. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Doctor Wu, is Grandpa in good health recently?"
She asked Si Ze last night, but got no answer. The other people in the Si family were also unwilling to say it clearly. Thinking of the old man's recent bad complexion and condition, she was really worried.
"I've had a cold recently and have had some serious phlegm blockage. I'm not in a very good mood, but everything else is fine." Wu Haishen reported truthfully.
"Have you checked it?" Yan Mo asked solemnly. For elderly people, colds are the most worrying thing.
"We've already inspected it yesterday, but some reports haven't come out yet. We'll know the details after they come out."
"Okay, thank you." Yan Mo thanked him.
Wu Haishen waved his hand and said goodbye. Before entering the house, he saw that Yan Mo looked tired. As a doctor, he thought about it and reminded him:
"Young Madam, I heard from the old man and the others that you are pregnant. I see that you don't look well. You should still make sure to rest, don't overwork yourself, and don't worry too much."
Yan Mo looked at Wu Haishen who walked into the house, thought for a moment, and followed him to the old man's room.
Mr. Si, who had been lying listless on the bed, perked up when he saw Yan Mo coming. A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly climbed up from the bed and waved to Yan Mo at the door: "Mo Mo is here, come in and sit next to Grandpa."
"Grandpa." Yan Mo walked into the room, sat down obediently beside the bed, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Old Master Si waved his hand, staring at Yan Mo's slightly bulging belly, and said with some heartache: "Mo girl, you have worked hard during this period!"
Yan Mo reached out and touched her belly, her eyes full of a mother's love for her child, and she said happily:
"Grandpa, it's not hard. I'm very happy."
Mr. Si looked at Yan Mo's tired and pale face and didn't believe it at all:
"Nonsense! What woman doesn't have a hard time getting pregnant? Think about when your grandmother was pregnant with your father and your aunts. She didn't eat or sleep well, and she lost several pounds." As he said this, he immediately ordered Wu Haishen beside him, "Haishen, take a look at Miss Mo. Why is she so pale?"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a person appeared at the door of the room. This person was Si Ze, who was frantically looking for his wife early in the morning.
"Yan Mo." When Si Ze saw Yan Mo in the old man's room, he let out a long breath, his panicked heart calmed down, and he shouted hoarsely.
Seeing Si Ze suddenly appear at the door, Yan Mo became a little flustered. Why didn't he appear earlier or later, but appeared at this time?
Yan Mo immediately said, "Grandpa, Doctor Wu just told me."
Si Ze also looked back at her, then looked at the old man. At this moment, the old man's mouth was smiling to the back of his head, which showed how much he was looking forward to the arrival of this child.
He knew that at this moment, he must not let the old man know that the little girl's pregnancy was fake, otherwise, the result would be predictable, and he could not take this risk.
After weighing the pros and cons, Si Ze looked at Wu Haishen and said, "Don't bother. She was just in the hospital two days ago, and the child is fine."
Yan Mo was not surprised that he could speak for her. The old man's condition was unstable now. No matter what, from his point of view, he would not let Wu Haishen see her now.
Yan Mo turned around and looked at the old man lying on the bed again. What he feared most now was that the old man insisted. Before Si Ze came, it didn't matter if she showed it to Wu Haishen. Anyway, everyone knew that she was pregnant. Now that he was here,
She looked at Si Ze. She wasn't ready to let him know yet. She still had too many things to do. Thinking of this, she immediately agreed, "Yes, I went to see it a few days ago."
As expected, the old man did not change his mind because of what she and Si Ze said, and insisted,
"It's okay, then let Xiao Wu take another look at you." Then he looked at Wu Haishen and ordered, "Xiao Wu, go take a look at Miss Mo."
Yan Mo's complexion was really too pale. How could he feel at ease without hearing the doctor say that everything was normal?
Originally, when he saw her last night, he wanted to arrange for Wu Haishen to come, but Wu Haishen had surgery and he was too tired after running around in the hospital all day, so he put it off until today. Even if Yan Mo couldn't come, he would have sent Lao Guan to call him.
Seeing this, Wu Haishen seemed to understand the subtle atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson. He immediately spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Grandpa Si, I'm a Western doctor, not a Chinese doctor, so I can't take your pulse accurately."
"Haven't you learned how to take a pulse? It was you who took my pulse the day before yesterday and told me to go to the hospital. How come you can't do it today?"
Who is Mr. Si? How could he be so easily fooled? He didn't believe it at all. And the young couple's unskilled obstruction made the old man unable to see it. Instead, he became more determined to take a look.
"Xiao Wu, it's okay, just let Mo take a look."
