Chapter 122 Post-Wedding Extra: Baby (Part 3)

Jiang Wan got up early to go to the hospital for a check-up. After returning home, her tense mood relaxed, and she felt sleepy before even having lunch.

Adding to the effects of early pregnancy nausea, the smell of her aunt cooking lunch in the kitchen made her lose all appetite, and all she wanted to do was go back to her room to sleep.

In the end, Zhou Chong personally cooked two light dishes and coaxed her gently until he managed to feed her a few bites.

After a quick lunch, Jiang Wan went straight upstairs to her room for a nap.

Zhou Chong stayed at the restaurant and explained the precautions for Jiang Wan's diet during pregnancy to the nanny. He also called Lin Jie to hire a professional nutritionist and enroll him in an introductory course for expectant fathers.

Lin Jie, who was enjoying the weekend, received a phone call: ?!

-

Jiang Wan woke up from her nap at around 2 p.m.

I felt refreshed after a good night's sleep, but I also felt inexplicably hungry.

She held onto the handrail as she walked down the stairs, calling out to Zhou Chong as she went.

"Zhou Chong, I'm a little hungry. Can you find me something to eat?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wan paused, stood on the stairs, and looked at her two mothers who were sitting in the living room looking up at her.

Zhou Chong sat opposite the two of them, with several tea snacks laid out on the coffee table.

Hearing Jiang Wan call him, he stood up straight, took a few steps up the stairs, and gently put his arm around her waist. "What do you want to eat?"

“Um… I think those things on the coffee table are pretty good.” Jiang Wan glanced down at the coffee table and continued walking downstairs with Zhou Chong. “I just want to eat some fruit and snacks.”

"good."

Zhou Chong put his arm around her and led her to sit down on the sofa. He picked up a small fork, forked a piece of kiwi, and fed it to her.

Jiang Wan greeted the two mothers first, and then opened her mouth to eat the kiwi.

Just as she was chewing with her cheeks puffed out, Shan Tong's delighted gaze fell on her stomach.

Her voice was filled with obvious joy, "Wanwan, you're going to be a mother."

Jiang Wan choked, slowly swallowed the kiwi in her mouth, and nodded, "Yeah, you're really well-informed. I just went to the hospital this morning."

Dan Tong glared at her, "Really, you've been back from the hospital for hours, and you didn't even tell your mother about something so important right away."

Jiang Wan opened her mouth, "It wasn't even a few hours later. I got sleepy when I got back, and I was just sleeping."

Feng Qing chimed in at this point: "It's easy to feel sleepy in early pregnancy. Xiao Chong said your appetite isn't very good either. Mothers have been through this before. The first few months are the most crucial time, so you must take good care of your health. We were worried, so we came to check on you as soon as possible."

Jiang Wan nodded and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mom."

Feng Qing responded with a beaming smile, "I only heard about it from Old Zhang at our hospital. He saw you guys at the hospital this morning, so he called Xiao Chong. I didn't expect it to be such a wonderful piece of news, so I told Xiao Chong to tell your mother the good news right away."

Jiang Wan suddenly realized that she had been seen by an acquaintance at the hospital.

She said, "What kind of behavior is it to be hugging and kissing in the hospital?"

Jiang Wan smiled, turned around, and secretly glared at Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong raised his eyebrows, smiled calmly, and then offered her a small oat cookie.

“I’ve already arranged for you to have a VIP green channel for prenatal check-ups at the hospital. When it’s time to register, someone will contact you. You’ll also have medical staff accompany you during your subsequent check-ups. I’m just worried that Xiao Chong might not be careful enough.”

As soon as Feng Qinggang reprimanded Zhou Chong, Shan Tong immediately waved his hand and spoke up for Zhou Chong.

“Mother-in-law, you’ve really gone to a lot of trouble. Zhou Chong is much more meticulous than Wanwan. I was worried at first because I was afraid that Wanwan would be too carefree and not take it seriously. But you and Zhou Chong have both thought things through so well, so I’m relieved.”

She spoke quite eloquently, praising both her son-in-law and her mother-in-law.

Good, good, Ms. Shan Tong is still as eloquent as ever.

Jiang Wan pouted, silently applauding her in her heart.

"It's our own child, why are you talking about whether it's troublesome or not?"

Feng Qing smiled and picked up a bag from beside her. "I heard from Xiao Chong that you two got pregnant quite suddenly and hadn't been taking folic acid before, so I bought this for you. It's not too late to start taking it now."

"As for calcium, iron, and DHA, you don't need to take them for now. As the fetus grows, you'll need to supplement these. Just keep them on hand and take them as prescribed by your doctor."

Jiang Wan stared blankly at the bottles of supplements. "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mom."

Shan Tong clicked her tongue in amazement, "Oh dear, it's always good to have someone in the family who knows medicine, so you won't panic if anything happens."

Feng Qing smiled and said, "Everyone has their own expertise. I learned all of this from my old colleagues."

Not long after the two mothers left, the doorbell rang again.

When the door opened, it was Sun Qianyu and Jiang Shengming.

"You guys are so well-informed?" Jiang Wan turned to Zhou Chong in surprise. "How many people did you notify all at once while I was sleeping?"

Zhou Chong shrugged innocently, "I didn't call them."

Jiang Shengming shook his head and explained, "We thought you suddenly vomited last night, so we wanted to check on you today."

"What do you mean by 'well-informed'?" Sun Qianyu asked, puzzled. After a moment's thought, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Wan's stomach. "She's really pregnant?"

Jiang Wan was taken aback, met Sun Qianyu's gaze, and slowly nodded, "Okay."

"My God!" Sun Qianyu's eyes widened even more. "After you left last night, we thought Shi Leyao was overthinking things, and suspected that it might be because her stomach was upset from eating cold wine and hot food. We never expected that you were really pregnant."

Jiang Wan scratched her head. "I thought so at first too."

"Alright, come in and let's talk. Don't just stand at the door."

Zhou Chong opened the door and welcomed the two in.

Sun Qianyu and Jiang Shengming sat down on the sofa and immediately noticed the nutritional supplements that hadn't been put away yet on the coffee table.

"Folic acid?" Sun Qianyu nudged the pile of bottles and jars, picked up a bottle and looked it over. "You need to take this if you're pregnant?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "Yes, my mother-in-law brought it. She used to be a doctor, and she asked her old colleagues in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. They said that we should start taking folic acid when we are trying to conceive, but we suddenly got pregnant, so we started taking it now."

Sun Qianyu nodded in sudden realization and was about to put the bottle of folic acid back when Jiang Wan suddenly raised her hand and stuffed the bottle of folic acid back into her hand.

“My mother-in-law bought a lot, why don’t you take a bottle with you? Isn’t it said that you should start taking it when you’re trying to conceive?”

Sun Qianyu blushed and glanced back at Jiang Shengming beside her. "No, who told you we were going to start trying to conceive?"

Jiang Wan's gaze shifted between the two of them. "So what if we don't have it yet? That day will come eventually. It's not wrong to prepare in advance."

Sun Qianyu was speechless at her words. Her face flushed, she stuffed the bottle of folic acid into her bag and said indignantly, "Jiang Wan, I'll remember you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Wan leaned back on the sofa, smiling lazily, "What's wrong? I just gave you a bottle of folic acid, and you're already doing me such a big favor?"

Sun Qianyu looked up at her, raising an eyebrow, "Having morning sickness at my wedding, you really know how it is."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, her eyes darting away, and awkwardly covered her face with her hands.
