The driver also drove the car over. Lu Jinghuai followed behind Lin Yan, carefully protecting her as she got into the car.
The car was a bit stuffy, and Lin Yan felt a little nauseous and frowned slightly. Lu Jinghuai was very sensitive to this and helped her roll down the window a little.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Lin Yan responded, but turned her head to look outside the car and didn't look at Lu Jinghuai.
Lu Jinghuai didn't care. He knew that Lin Yan was still upset. It didn't matter if she ignored him. He would be thankful as long as she didn't drive him away.
When the two arrived at the hospital, the doctor had already prepared the prenatal examination room in advance. The subsequent examination process was simple, including normal checks for fetal movement.
The fetus was in good condition and the doctor looked very relaxed as he gave medical advice.
"Mrs. Lu's fetus is developing normally. It's now thirty-four weeks old, and the major checkups have been completed. However, it's best to come in for weekly checkups to monitor fetal movement."
Lin Yan was also a first-time mother, so she attached great importance to the baby in her belly and responded obediently to whatever the doctor said.
It was just past ten o'clock when they came out of the hospital, and the two were still silent. To be more precise, Lin Yan turned her eyes away and didn't even look at Lu Jinghuai.
Lu Jinghuai's eyes also flashed with helplessness, but he still said: "Do you want to go buy some food? Aunt Liu said that you get hungry very quickly recently. It's best to eat small meals frequently."
Lin Yan pursed her lips and did not refuse.
Lu Jinghuai took Lin Yan to a nearby dessert shop and ordered a bowl of bird's nest and a piece of sugar-free cake.
There is only a small bowl of bird's nest, which contains red dates, wolfberries and milk, and is sweet.
Lin Yan lowered her eyes and drank the bird's nest slowly. Lu Jinghuai opposite her was not in a hurry to speak until Lin Yan finished drinking the bird's nest, lowered her eyes and looked at her phone to send messages without looking at Lu Jinghuai.
"Can I end my business trip now?" Lu Jinghuai couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yan finally looked up at him, as if waiting for Lu Jinghuai to continue.
Lu Jinghuai's heart inexplicably tightened, but he still pretended to be calm and spoke again.
"The child can't live without a father, and I miss you." He paused before saying the last sentence.
When he said this, his eyes met Lin Yan's, lingering and serious. He had not slept well for a single day during his week-long "business trip".
Lin Yan turned her eyes away and did not answer him. A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Jinghuai's eyes, but he forced a smile and did not continue the topic.
"Shall we go back now? Aunt Liu's soup should be ready." Lu Jinghuai couldn't bear to make Lin Yan feel embarrassed.
Lin Yan didn't respond. Lu Jinghuai knew that what he had just said had made Lin Yan embarrassed. He sighed and spoke.
"The company is indeed a bit busy. If you don't want to see me for the time being, I can continue my business trip, but I want to come back to accompany you for the weekly prenatal checkup."
Lin Yan pursed her lips, not agreeing or refusing. Just when Lu Jinghuai was thinking about what to say next, Lin Yan spoke.
"Can you understand what I'm thinking now?" Lin Yan asked, "Don't lie to me."
Lin Yan's eyes were serious, and she stared at Lu Jinghuai closely, as if she didn't want to miss any detail in his eyes.
Lu Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to his senses.
He shook his head, his expression extremely serious. "This mind-reading skill, at first I could basically hear your thoughts, but later on I couldn't hear them most of the time. Now I can only hear a single sentence every one or two months."
Lin Yan believed what Lu Jinghuai said, but she still had some concerns in her heart. She seemed to hesitate for a moment and made some kind of decision before she raised her eyes again and asked seriously.
"When was the first time you heard my voice?"
Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment, then spoke honestly, "On the wedding day."
Lin Yan finally understood the reason for the "plot breakdown" on the wedding day, and felt like she had finally found an answer to her confusion.
She let out a long breath, surprisingly not surprised.
"Have you... known for a long time that I'm not... Lin Yan?"
Lu Jinghuai looked up at Lin Yan and shook his head: "No, at first I just thought you had the ability to predict the future, but then I slowly realized that you were not her."
"What do you think?" Lin Yan's mood was extremely complicated at this moment. She even began to admire Lu Jinghuai. He had the ability to read minds but remained motionless. He knew that there was nothing unusual about her situation.
There was no trace of strangeness in Lu Jinghuai's eyes; he looked very serious, honest and determined.
"You are the one I have always known and the one I have fallen in love with. I don't care who you are. I only know that you are my wife."
Lin Yan could see that what Lu Jinghuai said were his real thoughts and he was not lying. That was why her heart was shaken. She thought that if he was Lu Jinghuai, she would not have accepted it so calmly.
A stranger whose identity is unknown becomes her bedmate.
Lin Yan pursed her lips, but then spoke again: "Can you control your heart that no longer listens to me?"
Lu Jinghuai shook his head and frowned slightly: "No, I don't know how to control it. I can hear it for some reason, and then I can't hear it for some reason."
After saying that, Lu Jinghuai paused and explained again: "I can only hear you."
Lin Yan pursed her lips, and after a long while, she seemed to have made up her mind before she spoke.
"Next time you can hear my heart, can you tell me?"
Lu Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand something. He looked at Lin Yan in front of him with an extremely hot gaze.
"Okay, I'll tell you next time I hear it."
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had resolved something important. She then spoke, "Your business trip can be over now. I had a calf cramp last night and it hurt for a long time."
When Lin Yan said this, there was a hint of grievance and complaint in her tone.
When two unrelated things were mentioned together, Lu Jinghuai understood what Lin Yan meant. He softened his heart and felt distressed at the same time.
"I was wrong." Lu Jinghuai admitted his mistake decisively.
Lin Yan also knew that she might be a little unreasonable at this moment, but she subconsciously wanted to do this in front of Lu Jinghuai.
The two of them talked it out, and it was indeed getting late, so they had to go back.
When she got home, the lotus root and pork ribs stewed in the kitchen were just ready. Lin Yanyou ate a bowl and felt too hungry for lunch.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "It's okay if you can't finish it. I'll ask the kitchen to keep it warm. Madam can eat it whenever she wants."
Lin Yan didn't refuse. She was easily hungry now and she would probably be hungry soon.
After drinking the soup, Lu Jinghuai and Lu Yingqian, brother and sister, wanted to have lunch. Lin Yan felt a little sleepy and went back to her room to sleep.
After lunch, Lu Jinghuai was about to go upstairs, but Lu Yingqian suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Lu Jinghuai.
"Brother, have you and sister-in-law reconciled? Is your business trip over now?"
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Lu Yingqian and said "hmm" lightly, with an inexplicable joy in his tone.
