Since it concerned pregnancy and the child, it couldn't be taken lightly, so Jiang Wanqing directly told Cheng Ran about Song's sister-in-law's guesses and suggestions.
Upon hearing this, he tensed up, afraid to hug her or touch her, lest something happen.
Seeing that he had moved a few inches away from her, Jiang Wanqing grabbed his hand.
"Come here! It's not even certain yet, and you're already looking down on me?"
"It's not that I'm disgusted!" Cheng Ran pulled her into his arms. "I'm afraid... if you really get pregnant with our child, wouldn't I be breaking my promise? You're still in school... and I've heard that childbirth is dangerous, and I treated you like that just a few days ago..."
He felt annoyed when he talked about that incident, and his heart was filled with disgust and hatred for Ye Luo. If it weren't for her messing around, none of this trouble would have happened!
"Don't worry, let's go to the hospital to get checked first. If you're really pregnant, do you think I'm afraid I won't want it? Do you think abortion is safer than childbirth?"
Jiang Wanqing had a "what will be, will be" attitude. She didn't really plan to have a child so early, but if she was pregnant, she wasn't unwilling to give birth. It would also fulfill the wishes of the Cheng family elders, so that she could devote herself more wholeheartedly to her experiments and factory work in the future, which was not a bad thing.
"Thank you, Wanqing."
He lowered his head slightly, placed a kiss on her forehead, and gently laid her on the bed.
"You rest well, I'll cook and make you some nourishing soup. I'll take leave tomorrow and take you to the military hospital."
"Um."
Cheng Ran is a responsible person, so she doesn't have to worry too much about him.
The next day, they went to the military hospital, registered for a check-up, and at first the doctor just took his pulse, and he was extremely nervous standing next to him.
"Doctor, how is it? Is my wife... pregnant?"
"Hmm... it's hard to say. The pulse I feel is a bit weak. It could also be because the pregnancy is still in its early stages. How about this, I'll give you a referral so you can get some tests done to confirm."
"Okay, just tell me what you need me to do."
Jiang Wanqing patted his hand to calm him down. Judging from his attitude, if the examination didn't require him to go in person, he would probably be happy to take his place.
After getting the prescription, Jiang Wanqing went to complete the various procedures as instructed by the doctor. Cheng Ran supported her, just like he would support his great-grandmother who was afraid of her falling.
Jiang Wanqing felt a mix of envy and doubt in the eyes of others, and she wished she could hide her face.
“How can you treat your baby like this? Even the doctor said it’s not certain yet. What if it’s just because she ate something bad or was too tired? Wouldn’t that be a joke?”
Her face flushed slightly, and she pinched his arm lightly, trying to make him let go so she could walk on her own.
Instead of loosening his grip, he held on even more firmly, his face beaming with pride.
"I take care of my wife, what's there for others to laugh at? They're just envious and jealous."
"Alright, alright, he's getting better and better at talking," Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips, unable to resist him, and let him have his way.
After the examination, the two of them waited anxiously in the corridor for the results. By the time the doctor called them in, it was almost noon.
Before they knew it, they had spent the whole morning at the hospital. When they saw the doctor again, Cheng Ran's palms were sweaty, and Jiang Wanqing thought his hands were slippery.
"Doctor, what were the test results? Is it...?"
The doctor handed the forms back to them with a beaming smile of blessing on his face.
"Congratulations, comrades." She looked at Cheng Ran and nodded: "Your husband is indeed pregnant. Is it because it's your first pregnancy and you were a little too unrestrained in your sexual activity? So your health has been affected. Go back and rest well. It's not a big problem. Just remember to prioritize the baby in the future and don't rush things... that's all."
"Cough cough..."
Overjoyed, the couple blushed deeply – the woman was indeed pregnant. They took the forms, thanked the doctor, and left the hospital.
Just now, Cheng Ran couldn't show his emotions in front of the doctor, but once outside, he immediately let his true nature show, hugging Jiang Wanqing and spinning her around a few times on the flat ground.
"That's wonderful, Wanqing! You're really pregnant with our child!"
She patted his shoulder and whispered shyly, "Put me down first, everyone's watching... oh dear..."
"Oh, I forgot again. You're pregnant now and need to rest. Come on, let's go home."
"Eh..."
He did put her down, but before she could even take two steps, he picked her up in a princess carry, as if he wanted to announce to the whole world that he, Cheng Ran, was going to be a father.
Because she was still young and had experienced some stress before, Jiang Wanqing was having severe morning sickness, so she decided to stay home and rest, leaving the factory to be managed by Molly and Yue Shuzhen.
Jiang Wanqing and Gu Yu continued to communicate by phone. Through trust and tacit understanding, they finally found evidence of Jiang Xiu's infidelity with other men.
Ye Family —
A man wearing a brown cloth shirt and a black gentleman's hat walked in.
Ye Yu took Jiang Xiu to her prenatal checkup. Ye Luo didn't want to be in the same space as her, so Gu Yu was the only one there now.
She dismissed everyone around her, allowing only the man in the cloth shirt to see her alone.
"How's the investigation going?"
"Since you've paid the right amount, as a private investigator, I'll certainly investigate thoroughly for you. Look at this."
It turned out that this man was a private investigator hired by Gu Yu to investigate Jiang Xiu's affairs with other men. He handed over several photos.
Although it was in black and white, the camera angle was just right, and Jiang Xiu's face and the faces of the men who changed around her every day were clearly visible.
Among these men were people she knew, such as Chen Zhong, and... the doctor who examined Jiang Xiu last time!
There were even more people I didn't recognize, including both young and old!
It seems that what Jiang Wanqing said is true; Jiang Xiu is not pregnant, otherwise how could she withstand so many men?
She conspired with the doctor to fake a pregnancy in an attempt to seize the Ye family's assets—what a pipe dream! Her recent frantic dating spree is probably just a ploy to get pregnant quickly!
Gu Yu gritted her teeth, put the photos away, and took out some money and tickets from her small handbag to give to the private investigator.
"You've done a good job. Here, take these. Keep investigating and get as much evidence as possible."
The other party took the money, grinning from ear to ear, and repeatedly agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll investigate thoroughly for you. Just wait for my good news. If there's nothing else, I'm going to get back to work!"
"Okay, go ahead."
Gu Yu waved her hand, telling him to leave.
She touched the stack of photos. She couldn't expose them today. She had to think of a way to catch Jiang Xiu off guard. Ideally, Ye Yu would catch her in bed with another woman, so she wouldn't be able to deny it. This would confirm the fake pregnancy and prove the woman's promiscuous nature. With two sins combined, the Ye family would definitely not tolerate her!
Thinking this way, Gu Yu felt much better. Finally, she saw hope. During this time, she had become a completely marginalized member of the Ye family. No one could understand the frustration and resentment she felt!
