Chapter 713: Pregnant?
After finishing the meal, Ye Qingbai made a decision.
If his mother came to see him, he would go out to meet her. In fact, after so many years, he no longer hated his mother. After all, even his father had forgiven her. He himself was a very sunny and cheerful person. Although he had no mother all these years, the elders in his family had given him enough love.
He grew up in a warm and loving family and has a well-rounded personality.
As for his mother, she did not betray her marriage; she was simply unwilling to live the life of an ordinary housewife and wanted to pursue her own ideals.
There is nothing wrong with that in itself.
On the contrary, this is quite rare for a woman.
Aside from being a mother, she is first and foremost herself, a complete person.
Bai Zhi noticed the relieved look on Ye Qingbai's face, and she said earnestly, "Cousin, whatever decision you make, we will support you. Don't feel any pressure. Just follow your heart."
"Okay, thank you, Xiaozhi."
After dinner, Bai Zhi rode her motorcycle home, while Ye Qingbai took Shen Qian back to her dormitory.
When Bai Zhi arrived home, she ran into Wang Yumei again at her doorstep.
Wang Yumei was hunched over, dry heaving in the hallway.
"What's wrong?" Bai Zhi walked up behind her, patted her lightly, and asked.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's voice, Wang Yumei clutched her chest, straightened up, and looked at her. "Xiao Bai, you're back?"
"Um, are you alright?"
"fine."
Bai Zhi hummed in agreement and started to walk towards her front door. Wang Yumei caught up with her, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "Could you take my pulse?"
Wang Yumei sounded a little embarrassed.
"Hmm? Is something bothering you?" Bai Zhi asked, looking her over.
Wang Yumei's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke, "Please take my pulse first to see what's wrong. I'm feeling a bit unwell."
"Okay, then come in with me."
Bai Zhi opened the door, and Wang Yumei followed her in and sat on the sofa.
Bai Zhi put down her bag, washed her hands, and came over.
"Come here, let me take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yumei reached out her hand, and Bai Zhi grabbed her wrist and began to take her pulse.
After taking her left hand, she asked her to extend her right hand.
After Bai Zhi withdrew her hand, Wang Yumei looked at her expectantly, "How was it?"
"You're pregnant."
"Really?" Wang Yumei looked at her again and asked, as if she had confirmed something, "Xiaobai, are you sure I'm really pregnant?"
Bai Zhi chuckled at her reaction, "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Wang Yumei awkwardly brushed her hair back and explained in an uncomfortable tone, "My period hasn't come for half a month. I've never been very regular before, so I didn't pay attention to it and just kept observing. But these past few days, I've felt a bit nauseous when I wake up in the morning, and I'm also very sleepy, feel very tired, and have a craving for food."
"In short, it feels different from usual."
Wang Yumei had a miscarriage a few years ago, so she knows what morning sickness is like.
She looked at Bai Zhi and said, "I didn't dare to go to the hospital to confirm, so I waited for you to come back today, hoping you could take a look at me."
"Yes, I've confirmed you're pregnant."
Bai Zhi said, "You can go to the hospital for a blood test to put your mind at ease."
Wang Yumei was overjoyed to receive Bai Zhi's affirmative answer, and for a moment she didn't know what to do with her hands. She controlled her excitement and said, "You said I'm pregnant, so I must be pregnant."
"Do I need to have an ultrasound?" she asked.
Bai Zhi asked, "When was your last menstrual period?"
"It should be the 10th of last month, which is 43 days ago today."
Upon hearing her words, Bai Zhi said, "Then go for the ultrasound next week. By then, the fetal heartbeat and embryo should be visible. Going now is a bit too early."
So when the fetal heartbeat didn't come out, it caused me anxiety.
"good."
Wang Yumei's eyes welled up with tears of emotion. She grasped Bai Zhi's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Bai, thank you so much, and thank you Dr. Ye as well."
"Hmm? Why are you thanking us?" Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow.
Wang Yumei explained somewhat embarrassedly, "I saw Dr. Ye before, but you were probably busy elsewhere and not at the clinic at that time."
To save face for Zhou Jianmin, Wang Yumei didn't mention that Zhou Jianmin had been taking medicine from the old doctor for more than two months.
She is now certain that she can conceive, while Zhou Jianmin's problem is more serious.
The miscarriage that year was also due to the poor quality of the male's sperm, which resulted in poor embryonic development and natural selection.
This was all explained to her by Dr. Ye.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I see."
She instructed Wang Yumei, "You must be careful during the first three months, and pay close attention to your diet as well."
"Okay, I understand. I will take good care of myself during my pregnancy."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Wang Yumei burst into tears of joy, saying, "Xiaobai, I'm so happy! I'm finally going to be a mother! It's been six years, and my wish has finally come true."
Seeing her tears, Bai Zhi reminded her, "After becoming pregnant, your emotions will often fluctuate due to pregnancy hormones. Try to control yourself a little and remember not to be overjoyed or sad. Try to keep a cheerful mood and stable emotions."
"Thank you, Xiaobai, I understand."
Bai Zhi said, "Isn't your Company Commander Zhou home? Go tell him the good news quickly. He'll be very happy if he knows you're pregnant."
Wang Yumei replied, "He hasn't come back yet, and your Battalion Commander Lu Ye hasn't come back either, has he?"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel worried again when she thought of Ye Qingbai's mention of an emergency meeting in the army. Company Commander Zhou hadn't gone home either, so were they all in a meeting?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's mood instantly became very heavy.
Hopefully they can come back soon after the meeting and there won't be any more urgent tasks.
Amid Bai Zhi's worries and anxieties, Lu Ye finally returned home around 9 p.m.
When Bai Zhi saw him, the weight in her heart finally lifted.
She went up to him and asked with concern, "You're back so late, have you eaten?"
Lu Ye smiled and shook his head, "Not yet. Do you have any leftovers at home?"
"I'll make it for you."
Bai Zhi's heart sank even more when she heard that he hadn't eaten so late. She looked at him with concern in her eyes and said, "I ate out today. I didn't cook."
There were no leftovers at home, and Lu Ye didn't want his wife to work hard, so he stopped her, saying, "Then let's not cook. We have bread at home; I'll just eat some."
"No, I'll make you a bowl of noodles instead."
As she spoke, she quickly went to the kitchen, made him two poached eggs, and cooked a bowl of noodles.
Then I sat opposite him, resting my chin on my hand, and watched him eat.
Lu Ye slurped up a mouthful of noodles, looked up at her, and said, "Wife, I might have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
He has to go out from time to time, and it's really hard for him to talk to his wife about it.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi's heart sank instantly, but she maintained a smile and tried to keep her tone light, "Tomorrow? How long will you be gone?"
Lu Ye replied, "It could take as little as three days or as long as a week."
"Okay, then be careful."
Aside from telling him to be careful, I really didn't know what else to say.
Wherever he goes, as long as he gets home safely, that's enough.
Lu Ye wanted to say something more, but remembering the confidentiality regulations that the leaders had repeatedly emphasized at the meeting, he could only eat his noodles in silence.
He will bring back good news in a few days.
