When Fu Huaijin saw his tense expression and hurried steps as he rushed over, his heart tightened. He stood up abruptly, dropped what he was doing, and quickly walked up to him, anxiously asking, "Has something happened to Xixi?"
Chu Juan's face was so solemn it seemed like it could drip water. Under his anxious gaze, he slowly nodded. The situation was indeed very serious for them: "She... is pregnant."
These four words, spoken by him, were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Fu Huaijin felt a ringing in his ears, and everything in front of him turned into a white light. After a long while, he finally came to his senses from the shock and understood the meaning of his previous words. His voice was dry as he asked again, "Are you sure?"
Chu Juan nodded heavily, with a force so strong that it shattered all his doubts.
"Was there a wrong diagnosis? I'm not... I'm not..."
Something must be wrong.
Fu Huaijin's heart pounded wildly; Chu Juan's medical skills couldn't possibly be wrong.
What if it's true?
They had just discussed this topic before, and at that time he was certain that he would never have children in his life, firstly because of his own health, and secondly because he was worried that the child's genes might have problems.
Besides, it's uncertain how long I'll live, leaving them as orphans and widows...
"Chu Juan, find an excuse to take her to the hospital for a check-up first, but don't let her know about it beforehand."
Chu Juan knew that his concerns were exactly what he himself was worried about.
"Okay, I'll find an excuse to take her to the hospital tomorrow." But this matter couldn't be kept secret for long.
Meanwhile, Su Yuxi, who knew nothing, was still worrying about what to eat to avoid starving to death. She couldn't come up with a solution and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the sky was already turning a pale white.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her sensitive nose twitched, and she smelled the aroma of meat porridge.
It was this aroma that acted like a shot of adrenaline, instantly awakening the long-dormant cravings in her stomach.
She immediately jumped out of bed and ran outside.
When I got downstairs, I saw a bowl of steaming meat porridge on the table, sprinkled with a few bright green scallions. The presentation alone was enough to whet my appetite.
She looked around, but it was quiet everywhere and she didn't see anyone.
Without realizing it, she picked up the bowl of porridge, stirred it gently with a spoon, and smelled it under her nose. A warm current, accompanied by the aroma of the porridge, quietly seeped into her heart. She tried to scoop up a spoonful and put it in her mouth to savor it. The porridge was cooked just right, fine and soft, with tender and fragrant meat.
He then ate one mouthful after another, and after finishing the whole bowl of porridge, he showed no signs of wanting to vomit.
Does this mean my illness is cured?
Fu Huaijin, who was sitting on the monitor, couldn't help but smile with delight when he saw her finish all the porridge he had cooked.
It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of his to do something for her. She couldn't eat, so he learned to cook some porridge. He didn't have high hopes, but to his surprise, she actually ate it.
Chu Juan saw it as soon as he came in; the bowl on top was empty.
"Can you eat now?"
"Hmm, a newly hired chef? The food looks pretty good."
Chu Juan thought of the person who burned his hand and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "Well, the new chef, if you like him, he will be in charge of your meals from now on. However, he can only cook a limited variety of dishes, so it may not be as rich and diverse as other chefs."
Su Yuxi waved her hand, she was in a good mood after eating, and said: "No."
We're lucky to have anything to eat these days, so how can we be picky about food?
"What do you need me for?"
Getting down to business, Chu Juan suppressed his smile: "I'll take you to the hospital for another check-up today."
Su Yuxi felt she could eat more and there shouldn't be any problems. Although she was reluctant, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go get checked out, but I don't want to have my blood drawn."
In order not to provoke her rebellious nature, Chu Juan had no choice but to nod in agreement first.
This trip was different from the past. Ever since she learned that Su Yuxi was being targeted, the number of bodyguards around her had doubled. With today's special operation, Fu Huaijin added nearly double the manpower.
As a result, on her way to the hospital, she was surrounded by more than thirty vehicles, both overt and covert, a sight that drew attention.
Su Yuxi didn't pay any attention, treating it as just a car on the roadside, completely unaware that she had now become a national treasure.
When she arrived at the hospital, there wasn't a single patient there, making her almost think she had gone to the wrong place.
It wasn't until she lay on the examination bed that she began to feel a sense of reality that she had come to see a doctor.
The doctors standing next to her were all laughing so hard they were practically stretching their mouths to the back of their heads; the atmosphere was strangely unsettling.
Today, a highly experienced senior nurse is personally conducting the physical examinations. Those who can stand here have gone through layers of screening and are trustworthy and outstanding individuals.
The old nurse wore a slightly mechanical yet warm smile: "Madam, I'm going to lift your clothes a little now. I'll pour some coupling gel down there, so it might feel a bit cold. Please let me know if you feel uncomfortable."
Su Yuxi didn't know how they were going to proceed, but after glancing at Chu Juan and seeing him nod at her, she agreed.
The so-called coupling agent was poured onto my fair belly, and it was indeed a bit cold, but it was still tolerable. Then something pressed against my belly and rolled around.
"Hmm?" All eyes turned to the display device on the side, and everyone frowned.
Is it broken?
"Maybe," the old nurse replied doubtfully.
All the instruments had been checked and confirmed to be in good working order before being brought in, but now that an accident has occurred, everyone is so frightened that they involuntarily shrink their necks, and tension and unease fill the air.
But Chu Juan didn't have time to investigate these matters, and soon someone brought over a new instrument.
Only after confirming that it was working did she place the probe on it.
However, the strange thing is that the probe works fine when it is picked up and slid in the hand, but once it is placed on the abdomen, the instrument will display garbled text or go black.
Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
Someone suggested that we get another instrument.
Chu Juan stopped him.
He stepped forward and helped the person sit up, asking with a glimmer of hope, "Can't you really donate some blood?"
Su Yuxi shook her head repeatedly at the thought of the needle pricking her wrist: "No."
"Absolutely not."
Chu Juan's eyes dimmed, and he slowly looked away. He took a cup from the shelf and handed it to her: "Take a urine test."
"A urine test? That's so troublesome." Su Yuxi frowned, instinctively feeling some resistance, but compared to drawing blood, this wasn't unacceptable.
