"What do you think Song Xiaohua is after?" Yan Xin couldn't understand.
"What else could it be? Trying to extort money, of course. She did this kind of thing and still wants to harm others. She's really something else." Lin Xiazhu's face was very unpleasant. Although she had once been a worker herself, she never did anything she felt guilty about. She really looked down on people like Song Xiaohua.
"Song Xiaohua is only seventeen years old, how could she be so unable to bear loneliness? Could it be that she was deceived?" Yan Xin bit her lower lip and guessed.
"Anything is possible. We can just ask her when she wakes up." Lin Xiazhu was a little irritated. She didn't know why, but she felt uneasy and a little angry.
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat first. That female worker probably won't wake up until tomorrow. Let's go back first." Bai Ru'an noticed that she was in a bad mood and felt a little sorry for her.
"Yeah, I am a little hungry." I hadn't felt it before, but now that I've calmed down, I feel quite uncomfortable in my stomach.
"Let's find a restaurant nearby to eat. It'll take another hour to get back." Yan Xin was also hungry; she was originally planning to go home for dinner.
The hospital is located in the suburbs, about half an hour's drive from the industrial area and about an hour from the city center.
During the meal, Lin Xiazhu felt nauseous after a few bites. "Ugh..." Then she dry-heaved and ran to the sink, where she struggled for a while.
"What's wrong? Is the food unclean?" Bai Ru'an frowned with concern, patting her back gently, her expression growing increasingly cold and hard.
Yan Xin also came over. She had been very worried just now. When she thought of Lin Xiazhu's stomach cancer in her previous life, her expression changed. She thought, "Is it really that unlucky?"
If that's really the case, then God is being incredibly blind; it's utterly unreasonable to treat an innocent person like this.
Yan Xin quickly dismissed her own guess. A sudden thought flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up. She said excitedly, "Xiao Zhu, could you be pregnant?"
Lin Xiazhu: "..."
"Let's go to the hospital and have the doctor take a look." Bai Ru'an's heart tightened. He hoped so, but he couldn't show his true emotions. Xiao Zhu wasn't ready yet.
"It's so late, the hospital only has doctors on duty, there's no one to see patients. If you need any tests, we can talk about it tomorrow." Lin Xiazhu was quite calm, she was only stunned for a moment, but she quickly accepted it.
If she really is pregnant, then she should have the baby. It's her own flesh and blood; how could she bear to not have it? Although she said she wanted to wait two more years to have the baby, since it came early, it means that fate has brought them together, so there's nothing to worry about.
Seeing that she didn't resist or get angry, Bai Ruan felt relieved. He was afraid that Xiao Zhu would say she didn't want to have children now and that she would have those kinds of thoughts.
"What's with that expression? Do you think I'm such a heartless person? This is a life, how could I possibly abandon it?" Lin Xiazhu could tell what he was thinking from the way he breathed a sigh of relief. This guy really underestimated her.
"It was my fault, Xiaozhu, don't be angry. If you can't finish those dishes, let's order something else. What do you want to eat? I'll order." Bai Ruan carefully supported her, almost carrying her away in her arms.
"I'd like some vegetable and lean pork congee, but I don't have an appetite right now."
"She got pregnant just a month after the wedding banquet. Looks like you two worked really hard. I wonder how happy Mr. Bai will be when he finds out," Yan Xin teased.
Lin Xiazhu was embarrassed. She calculated the dates and realized that if she was really pregnant, it must have been from the day of her wedding banquet. She hadn't worn a condom that night, and that's how she got pregnant.
However, she wouldn't tell Yan Xin about such a private matter. She sat quietly waiting for her porridge to be served, touching her flat stomach and wondering if a little life was really growing inside.
The next day, Bai Ruan got up early to make a nutritious breakfast for his wife. After he finished making breakfast, Lin Xiazhu was still fast asleep and showed no sign of getting up.
Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. Bai Ru'an called to her in a low voice, "Xiao Zhu, get up and have breakfast. Don't go hungry."
I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I think about it, I realize that Xiaozhu has been quite sleepy these past few days. However, she usually sets an alarm clock and forces herself to get up even if she can't.
While changing clothes, she complained to herself, "I feel like I'm getting lazier and lazier. I used to have a very regular biological clock, but since we got married, I've become lazy. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, and I always feel like I haven't had enough sleep."
She had deep doubts about herself, wondering if she had become arrogant after marrying a rich husband, no longer wanting to work hard, and just wanting to stay at home and lie around like a corpse.
I never imagined she might be pregnant.
After breakfast, Bai Ruan didn't rush to the company. Instead, she took Lin Xiazhu to the hospital for a checkup. The hospital was Bai's private hospital, so the checkup could begin immediately upon arrival, and the results came out quickly.
The doctor said it was exactly one month, still early in the pregnancy, and advised her to be careful, avoid overexertion, and eat some nutritional supplements.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Xiazhu sat in the passenger seat, touching her lower abdomen and said softly, "I'm really pregnant. That's good. If I give birth sooner, the baby can grow up faster." She remained calm.
"We're not going to the company today. Let's go back to the old house and tell Grandpa the good news so he can be happy too." That way, every time we go back to the old house, he won't have the kitchen make him some nourishing soup, subtly reminding them to hurry up and have a baby.
Now that they've successfully conceived, Bai Ru'an, the soon-to-be father, is so excited that he's driving faster and faster, almost speeding away.
“Going back is fine, but Grandpa should know too.” The shares should be almost fully effective by now. “Drive slower. There are three people in the car. What are you trying to do?” Try to cause a car accident?
He appears calm and composed on the surface, but inside he's burning with resentment and wants to speed at the slightest provocation. Where did he learn this bad habit?
"Did I scare you and the baby? It's my fault, I was too excited. Xiaozhu, I'm going to be a father, we're going to have a child soon, a child you gave birth to for me." He was somewhat incoherent, and even his hands were trembling a little.
Lin Xiazhu's lips curled up, but she still scolded him, "Watch your driving, we'll talk when we get back. If you can't drive, I'll drive."
How can that be? My wife is pregnant and needs to rest. The doctor said the first three months are crucial, and she needs to take good care of herself. It's best if she doesn't do anything.
Of course, the last sentence was added by Bai Ru'an himself. He felt that Xiao Zhu should stay at home every day to recuperate, and even if she wanted to go out, she should arrange for a driver to pick her up and drop her off. It would be best if she didn't work anymore.
“I can skip the factory, but I’ll still go to the coffee shop. I don’t have to do anything, I can just sit in the office and play. Don’t try to stop me from doing this or that.” With just a glance or a micro-expression, she could guess what he was thinking and what he was planning, so she took the initiative.
With her thoughts exposed, Bai Ru'an gave an awkward laugh and said nothing more. What could she do? Once Xiaozhu made up her mind, it was hard to change it, and she couldn't be stopped even if she wanted to; Xiaozhu was very strong.
When they returned to the old house, coincidentally, Bai Junbai was there as well. He and Bai Zhengping were sitting in the living room chatting about something, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious. However, this harmony was about to be broken.
