Chapter 249 Two People Face It Together
"The study is over there. It's tidied up and quiet, so you can take my pulse carefully without being disturbed."
He took Deng Chengxin and Ruan Chuxia into the study.
This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the living room and is indeed suitable for diagnosis.
Deng Chengxin took out a small cloth pillow from his pocket.
He placed it on the desk: "Come on, put your wrist on it, relax, don't be nervous."
Ruan Chuxia sat down as she was told and slowly placed her right hand on the cloth pillow.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
As a doctor, she has taken the pulse of countless patients and her technique has become very proficient.
But today, when it was his turn to lie down and have his pulse taken, he felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart.
She turned her head and looked at Xiao Zhiyu who was standing beside her.
She suddenly realized that Xiao Zhiyu was more nervous than she had imagined.
Deng Chengxin closed his eyes and looked focused.
Time seemed to stand still.
He repeated it twice, his brows moving slightly, as if he was pondering some subtle signs.
After a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand, a relieved smile on his face.
"Xiao Ruan, congratulations. Your pulse is smooth, like beads rolling on a plate, flowing back and forth, a typical pregnancy pulse. It's been about a month, and yes, you are pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
Ruan Chuxia was completely stunned.
Deng Chengxin nodded seriously.
"Yes, you are pregnant. I have taken two tests and the results are the same. It is about six weeks now, and the fetus is developing well. The fetal heartbeat can be detected."
Xiao Zhiyu's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He hurriedly asked about various precautions.
"What dietary precautions should I take? Can I continue working? What nutrients do I need to supplement? Are there any dietary restrictions?"
He listened very carefully, not wanting to miss any details that Deng Chengxin said.
I am afraid that missing any one of them will affect the child's health.
But Ruan Chuxia didn't hear a word, her mind was in a mess.
The news came too suddenly.
If it is true, how do you explain everything in your previous life?
The despair she felt at that time still haunts her like a nightmare.
But now, she is actually pregnant?
And this child...
It’s so hard to come by, can she continue to study?
If I don’t go, how am I going to explain to Dean Huang and the others?
After Xiao Zhiyu had written down all the questions he needed to ask, he closed his notebook with satisfaction.
When I turned around, I found Ruan Chuxia still sitting there blankly with a blank look in her eyes.
He stared at her for a long time, his eyes changing from joy to confusion, and then from confusion to vague uneasiness.
She never looked happy at all.
His heart sank suddenly.
The voice grew colder.
"Are you unhappy? If you don't want to, I won't force you. This is your body, your decision, and I respect it."
Deng Chengxin saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly stood up.
"You two should have a good talk and don't rush into making a decision. This kind of thing needs to be faced together."
After saying that, he gently closed the door and walked out.
Xiao Zhiyu waited for Ruan Chuxia's answer, his eyes fixed on her face.
I hope to see a little relaxation and a change in mood.
But Ruan Chuxia kept her head down and never spoke.
He waited until his heart was cold and took a deep breath.
"Okay, I won't force you. If you really don't want to have the baby, then...get rid of it."
He turned abruptly and walked away, his steps quick and heavy.
The pain in my chest felt like it was being cut by a knife.
No wonder she had no reaction when he found out she was infertile.
He thought she didn't care about the child and only cared about him.
Now I understand that she never planned to have children.
He rushed to the door in a few steps, his hand already on the door handle.
Suddenly, he felt an eerie silence behind him.
Looking back, Ruan Chuxia's eyes were red and tears as big as beans were rolling in her eyes.
He immediately turned back in a rage.
"Why are you crying? Huh? Tell me! Do you want this child? Just say something! I'll do whatever you say! I'll do whatever you say!"
Ruan Chuxia felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart and a tightness in her chest.
Tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed and choked, "I... I don't want to give birth... Really... I'm scared..."
Xiao Zhiyu felt like someone had kicked him hard in the chest, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.
He subconsciously leaned against the wall and managed to stabilize himself.
But then he heard her sobbing softly again.
"But I also... don't want to abort it... I really... can't bear to..."
His eyes also turned red.
He stood there, staring at her, his eyes never moving.
"So what do you want? Tell me! If you have any worries, I'll solve them for you, all of them! I'll arrange every step for you, including work, life, and the future of the children! Tell me! Don't hold it in, don't carry it all on your own!"
Ruan Chuxia sniffed and spoke pitifully.
"I'm scared... I'm panicking, uncontrollably... I'm worried something might happen to the baby, that he'll be unhealthy, that he'll be born sick... And what about my further studies? The hospital has already booked a place, and the advisor has been chosen... If I ask for leave now, it might be too late..."
I was never a mother in my previous life, so I only have a vague fear of childbirth.
She was afraid of pain and heavy bleeding during childbirth.
I am even more afraid that I have no experience and cannot take good care of the child.
How can I be a mother if I’m not even mentally prepared?
Not ready at all.
Xiao Zhiyu watched her say "afraid" over and over again, and every word was like a needle piercing his heart.
He finally couldn't control himself anymore and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
His heart ached and his eyes became even redder.
"You haven't even given birth yet, and your crying has already broken my heart... Do you know that I would rather be in pain myself than see you suffer for even a second..."
He paused, his voice hoarse.
"Before, I told you that you couldn't have children, and you said you didn't mind. Did you not want children in the first place? I just happened to help you escape a disaster? If that's the case, I won't stop you, really... If you insist, I... I won't persuade you. Anyway... I still have Xiaojun, she's still young and can give birth to a child for me..."
But the word "eliminate" seemed impossible to say.
How could he not want his own child?
Especially the one she gave him.
That was the blood of the two of them, and it was the future he had never hoped for but truly longed for.
He always thought that if Ruan Chuxia was willing to have a baby for him, he would do his best to be a good father.
Let her know she is not alone.
He will do everything he can to ensure the safety and happiness of the mother and child.
But if she doesn't want to...
He didn't want to force it.
He knew in his heart that marriage is a matter between two people, and children are a responsibility that needs to be shared by both parties.
The result of forcing something will often not bring happiness.
He clenched his teeth tightly, not daring to let his voice tremble.
I was afraid that once I opened my mouth, my inner vulnerability would be revealed.
"It's not that I don't want to have a baby... I'm just... a little scared."
Ruan Chuxia leaned against his arms and spoke softly.
The news of her pregnancy came too suddenly and she was not prepared.
My mind is filled with fear of the unknown.
Will I not take good care of my child?
