Yan Xiao was stunned the day Wen Qinghe was diagnosed with pregnancy.
…
The completion ceremony of the Pengcheng branch's building project.
Ever since Wen Qinghe learned about her mother's situation, she has been in low spirits and has not had a good appetite. In order to cheer up his wife, Yan Xiao brought her to Pengcheng to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Before the ceremony even began, Wen Qinghe, standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly felt dizzy and then everything went black as she fainted in Yan Xiao's arms.
In the instant she closed her eyes, she didn't see that Yan Xiao's eyes were already filled with panic and confusion.
…
Pengcheng Hospital.
Wen Qinghe leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed, watching the man's face change from shock to black and then to pale in an instant.
Wen Qinghe was somewhat surprised when she learned from the doctor that she was carrying a baby.
But now she has accepted it calmly.
After all, she and Yan Xiao had been married for seven years, and the two of them were practically partying every night, but she just couldn't get pregnant. At first, she thought it was because of her health.
It was later discovered that the man had been secretly taking long-term birth control pills.
For a while, she was fixated on the idea that Yan Xiao didn't want their child, but later she realized it was because she loved him so much.
Looking at Yan Xiao's expression now, she knew the reason without even thinking.
She took the man's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, but unexpectedly, the man's large, well-defined hand trembled and stiffened.
She said with a smile, "Ayan, this is our child."
The man's chest heaved violently, his eyes were red with fear and tension, and his face was frighteningly pale.
He forced a smile.
Then, as if afraid of frightening her, the man quickly regained his composure, but his trembling fingertips betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
The man's voice was as gentle as ever, but he subtly withdrew his hand.
"Qingqing, you rest well first. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back."
Without mentioning the child, he tucked Wen Qinghe in before dragging his unsteady steps to open the door and leave.
God knows how much he's suffering right now.
His mother-in-law passed away due to complications during childbirth. He knew her well, especially after a series of recent events.
She gave birth to a girl via cesarean section and suffered severe bleeding.
These words filled his entire mind.
He respected and was grateful to his mother-in-law; if it weren't for her greatness, he might not have had the chance to meet Qingqing.
In the past, to avoid his wife experiencing the risks of childbirth, he had always insisted on taking birth control pills himself.
But who could have imagined that the medication I'd been taking for seven years would one day become ineffective...
Old Li passed away last year due to meibomian gland cancer.
Before he passed away, Li Huaqing prescribed him one last dose of medicine, enough to last him another ten years without any problems.
He also bought the prescription from Old Li.
The idea was to solve the problem once and for all, but unexpectedly, something still went wrong.
He absolutely could not accept the pain of losing Qingqing, and his subconscious reaction was that he couldn't keep the child.
When Qingqing placed his hand on her soft lower abdomen, he even had a fleeting thought of killing it.
But the expectation in the girl's eyes was like a sharp sword of light, piercing through the darkness in his heart.
…
"Doctor, will my wife be hurt if we don't have the child?"
…
"If we keep it, will my wife be able to give birth safely?"
…
Half an hour later, Yan Xiao came out of the office.
Although the doctor already knows that the little girl is in good health and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, can safely get through the entire pregnancy and childbirth period.
Production risks are unavoidable, and no one can guarantee 100% success.
That's why Yan Xiao was so anxious.
When he returned to the ward, the little girl was already asleep.
She has been feeling sleepy, has a poor appetite, is in a bad mood, and her period is a few days late.
He always thought the young woman was overthinking things because of her mother-in-law, and never considered the possibility of her being pregnant.
Now he only regrets that he didn't notice her unusual behavior sooner.
…
When Wen Qinghe woke up again, she had already arrived in Beijing.
"My sweetie's awake? Would you like something to eat?"
The man's eyes held the same doting affection as always, but Wen Qinghe subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
Without thinking, the words trembled as she asked, "The child...the child is still alive, isn't he?"
Yan Xiao's eyes showed surprise, his dark pupils were deep and unfathomable. He hoped that she wasn't there, but he didn't want to hurt the little girl even more.
The man reached out and brushed the girl's disheveled hair, soothingly whispering, "Yes, it's alright."
Wen Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Yan Xiao's confirmation. Fortunately, the man hadn't taken the child while she was asleep.
Thinking of this, Wen Qinghe felt a lingering fear, as if a mother's love had made her strong. Thinking of that little life, she couldn't help but speak:
"Ayan, this is our child. Don't you like it?"
The man paused, sighed softly, and carefully pulled her into his arms, avoiding her stomach.
The man closed his eyes and buried himself in the girl's hair, his throat dry, and said in a hoarse voice, "Baby, I only want you, I only want you to be well."
I can't imagine what might happen in a few months, and I don't want the same thing that happened to my mother-in-law to happen to you.
I'm going crazy... I really am going crazy...
Feeling the dampness on her neck, Wen Qinghe raised her hand and hugged the man's lean waist.
"Ayan, I'll be alright, don't worry. Have you forgotten? I still have the spring water in my spatial storage..."
…
The following months.
In addition to constantly seeking out doctors to learn about pregnancy care, Yan Xiao has also become a frequent visitor to various obstetrics and gynecology experts.
Every time he took Wen Qinghe to a prenatal checkup, the man would bring a thick stack of pregnancy record books.
The details are so specific that they include: how early you wake up and go to bed, how many bowls of rice you ate that day, how many bites you took of the food, and how many times you went to the bathroom…
The meticulous attention to detail astonished other pregnant women who were also there for prenatal checkups.
But the prenatal checkup doctor was already used to it. Compared to Yan Xiao coming to his office every day to bother him, this way of recording things made it easier for him to understand the pregnant woman's condition, and it also saved him from having to squat in his office every day and disturb his normal work.
During that time, the young women at their hospital were all saying that he, an obstetrician, had actually interfered in the relationship between a powerful figure and his lover.
Taking advantage of someone's wife's pregnancy, she keeps her husband in the office every day, sometimes for half a day at a time, and I don't know what kind of shady things they're doing.
Obstetrics experts were speechless and shocked. Rumors can be spread, but they shouldn't be too bizarre.
He was saying that he was clearly a handsome and eligible bachelor, and it was one thing if his rumored girlfriend wasn't a woman.
It turned out to be a man.
Uh, a married man.
Speechless and choked with emotion.
No wonder the nurses at the hospital have been looking at him strangely lately; Yan Xiao has almost ruined all his romantic prospects.
