...
One night passed.
The next day, Shang Wu conducted another inspection under Lu Rang's supervision.
After a thorough examination, the doctor finally relented, saying that her foot injury was healing well and she could try to walk slowly, but she must avoid overexertion and prolonged standing.
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu immediately perked up.
She had been cooped up at home for too long and couldn't wait to go to the studio.
Lu Rang naturally objected, but he couldn't resist Shang Wu's persistent pleading and repeated assurances that he would only go to take a look, would absolutely not do any work, and would only sit for a while before coming back.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and personally drive her there, strictly setting a time for her to return home.
Upon arriving at the studio, Aying saw Shang Wu and excitedly surrounded her, inquiring about her health and pregnancy.
After exchanging pleasantries, Aying came over with the design plan for the next quarter, but her face was full of worry.
"We have a lot of new product launches coming up next quarter, and several major clients have specifically requested that you design them yourself. Given your current situation... how about I talk to the clients and hire other designers to take over? Or should we outsource some of the work?"
Shang Wu took the schedule and looked at it; the workload was indeed considerable.
But she hesitated for a moment before shaking her head: "No need, I can handle it. I'll do the initial concept and main design, and the later refinement and execution can be left to the team."
She didn't want to give up her career completely because of her pregnancy; it was something she loved and had worked hard for.
But she wasn't blindly stubborn. After thinking for a moment, she said to Aying, "However, in order to make things easier later on, could you help me find two reliable design assistants? They need to be talented and hardworking, and be able to help me with some of the basic work."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her otherwise, Aying had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, I'll post the job ad right away."
Time flies when you're engrossed in work.
Shang Wu flipped through the materials, sketched out drafts, and discussed the design direction with A Ying. Before she knew it, she had been busy for most of the day, and even ate a few bites of lunch in a hurry.
When Lu Rang arrived to pick her up on time in the afternoon, she was surprised to find how quickly time had passed.
For some reason, I felt a dull, aching pain in my lower abdomen.
Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare tell Lu Rang, but instead made an excuse that she was a little tired and wanted to lie down in the studio's rest room for a while before going back.
Lu Rang had no suspicions and attentively stayed with her.
However, after lying down for less than half an hour, the dull pain not only did not disappear, but seemed to become more pronounced.
Shang Wu's face gradually turned pale, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
“Lu Rang…”
Her icy hands grabbed Lu Rang.
Lu Rang immediately noticed her unusual behavior, his expression changed drastically, and without saying a word, he immediately called the family doctor.
The doctor arrived quickly and, after a thorough examination and questioning, his expression turned serious.
"Are you tired today?"
The doctor said seriously, "Your current physical condition is very unstable, and there are signs of threatened miscarriage. You are already weak and have insufficient blood and qi. In addition, you were injured and frightened before, so your foundation is a bit weak. You need to rest most in the early stages of pregnancy, so you must not be careless."
Shang Wu's heart sank to the bottom. Her fingers turned icy cold, and her voice trembled slightly: "Doctor, that child..."
The doctor sighed: "Right now, all we can do is try our best to save the pregnancy. I will prescribe medication for you immediately. You must rest in bed absolutely and avoid any further exertion or emotional fluctuations. But you also need to be mentally prepared that if the situation continues to worsen, it may be difficult to save the pregnancy."
Shang Wu's vision went black for a moment, and she was instantly overwhelmed by immense loss and fear.
She was so looking forward to this child, but her health was so weak that she almost couldn't keep it.
Lu Rang immediately hugged her tightly, his voice steady and firm, reassuring her: "Don't be afraid, A-Wu is alright. Let's listen to the doctor, get some rest, and everything will be fine."
He looked at the doctor, his eyes filled with unwavering determination: "Use the best medicine, the best treatment plan, and do everything you can to save the child."
After seeing the doctor off, Lu Rang held Shang Wu tightly in his arms, feeling her body trembling slightly.
He kissed the top of her head and comforted her in a lighthearted tone, "Don't be sad. Even if we can't keep the baby, it's okay. We can have another one later, or we can adopt. Your health is the most important thing. Don't think about anything else now. Just listen to the doctor and take good care of the pregnancy."
Shang Wu leaned against his warm embrace, tears streaming down her face.
She knew Lu Rang was trying to comfort her, but the anticipation of becoming a new mother and the panic of suddenly losing her still made her sad.
She could only nod vigorously, placing all her anxiety and hope on the rest she would receive and the doctors' efforts.
