Chapter 136 Pregnant
Half an hour later.
In the police station's break room, Ruan Yao held a cup of warm brown sugar water and sipped it slowly.
The churning sensation in my stomach finally subsided, but my face was still a little pale.
Huo Yanzhi half-squatted in front of her, holding her other hand, his palm dry and warm.
His brows were constantly furrowed, and he didn't seem to care that his expensive trench coat was wrinkled.
"Did you eat something bad?" Ruan Yao leaned back on the sofa, her voice still a little weak. "I haven't been back to Nancheng for many years, so I might be having some trouble adjusting to the new environment."
Huo Yanzhi didn't speak, but gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, his eyes filled with deep worry.
His heart skipped a beat when she suddenly felt nauseous.
Just then, the door to the lounge was gently pushed open.
The female doctor who had been called by Officer Zhang walked in, holding a freshly printed lab report in her hand, with a gentle yet knowing smile on her face.
"Doctor, how is she? Is she alright?" Huo Yanzhi immediately stood up and stood in front of Ruan Yao, his anxiety evident in his voice.
The female doctor glanced at him, then at Ruan Yao behind him who looked on with curiosity, and handed him the test results with a smile.
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Ruan, congratulations."
Congratulations?
Both of them were stunned.
"It's nothing serious, not gastroenteritis or a change in environment." The female doctor's voice, tinged with laughter, rang clearly in the quiet room.
"Miss Ruan is... pregnant."
"Judging from the cycle, it should be about a month."
Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.
Ruan Yao was stunned. She subconsciously lowered her head and looked down at her flat stomach.
here……
There's already a little life inside?
Her child with Huo Yanzhi?
Huo Yanzhi remained standing, as if he had been frozen in place, completely still.
These words, like the most dazzling fireworks, exploded in Huo Yanzhi's mind.
He's going to be a father.
He and Ruan Yao... had a child.
It wasn't a dream, it wasn't his despicable scheme, it wasn't happiness he stole.
A vibrant little life, flowing with their blood, quietly took root and sprouted within his girl's body.
In both his lives, he had never dared to ask for such a blessing.
In his past life, he kept her by his side, never daring to imagine having her bear his children.
In this life, he proceeded cautiously, wearing a mask, wanting only to keep her. He never dared to imagine that happiness would come so completely, so...real.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also felt like only a second.
He snapped out of his daze, his gaze fixed firmly on Ruan Yao's face.
Ruan Yao was also looking up at him.
Those eyes, which were always moist, were now filled with the same shock, disbelief, and a tenderness and joy of becoming a mother for the first time that she herself had not realized.
Their eyes met.
The next second, Huo Yanzhi bent down and, with an almost reverent posture, hugged her tightly, very tightly in his arms.
His arms trembled, his hot breath sprayed on her neck, and he murmured her name hoarsely over and over again.
"Yaoyao... Yaoyao..."
He didn't know what to say, and couldn't utter a single word.
At this moment, all language seems so pale.
This was the best gift he had ever received in both his lives.
When the police officers at the local police station heard the news, they all gathered around, their simple faces beaming with smiles, and congratulations echoing from one after another.
"Oh my! Double happiness!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Huo! Congratulations, Ms. Ruan!"
"That's amazing! Our police station must be in a place with excellent feng shui!"
Amidst the lively and heartwarming blessings, Ruan Yao leaned against Huo Yanzhi's burning chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat. Her cheeks flushed, and the corners of her lips involuntarily turned up in a smile.
She thought that her life seemed to be truly complete.
This joy lasted for less than five minutes.
Huo Yanzhi immediately snapped out of his emotional turmoil and reverted to his decisive and ruthless nature as CEO Huo.
He immediately called Qin Feng the moment the call connected.
"Cancel all trips in Nancheng immediately! Arrange for the best obstetrics and gynecology medical team in the country to be on standby at the Huo family's old residence!"
After issuing a series of instructions, he hung up the phone and, as if nothing had happened, carefully squatted down again, staring nervously at Ruan Yao's face.
"Are you still feeling unwell? Would you like some more water? Or perhaps you should lie down for a while?"
"The sofa is too hard, no good. The floor is too cold, even worse."
"Is it okay to fly now? Will I feel nauseous?"
He muttered to himself, his brow furrowed, as if facing some world-class problem.
Looking at his paranoid expression, Ruan Yao felt both amused and sorry for him.
She took his hand and said softly, "Huo Yanzhi, I'm fine. Didn't the doctor say this is a normal reaction?"
"That won't do either." Huo Yanzhi grasped her hand. "You're a priority for protection now."
Ruan Yao: "..."
She just had a baby the size of a bean sprout, how did she become a fragile glass doll?
During the two hours they waited for their flight, Huo Yanzhi stayed by her side without leaving her side. Even when she went to the restroom, he would anxiously stand guard at the door, asking every thirty seconds, "Are you done?"
This legendary, powerful young master of Beijing's elite circles was now circling around his wife like a clingy, large dog.
Once on the plane, Ruan Yao was seated in the most comfortable and spacious seat, covered with a soft cashmere blanket, with a hot water bottle at her feet, and the table in front of her was filled with warm water and various fruits that are supposedly safe for pregnant women to eat.
Huo Yanzhi stayed by her side every step of the way, his anxious appearance making the accompanying medical team both amused and exasperated.
As Ruan Yao watched him tuck the blanket around her and then anxiously check her forehead temperature, she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mr. Huo, if you keep staring at me like that, I'm really going to get scared."
Huo Yanzhi couldn't laugh at all; he gripped Ruan Yao's hand tightly, his expression serious.
"No, I have to keep an eye on it."
The plane took off smoothly and passed through the clouds.
The lights of the southern city gradually turned into a blurry sea of light beneath my feet.
Ruan Yao leaned on his shoulder, watching the clouds rushing past the window, feeling a sense of peace in her heart.
There were two people when they arrived.
When we got back, there were already three of us.
This feeling is wonderful and blissful.
When the plane landed smoothly on the private helipad in northern Beijing, the Huo family mansion was already brightly lit and ready for action.
As soon as the two stepped into the living room, they were surrounded by the two families who had been waiting for them.
"What happened, Yaoyao? Why did you come back so suddenly? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Mei was the first to rush over, grabbing Ruan Yao's hand with a worried expression.
"Yanzhi, you really are a bad child. How could you take Yaoyao out without even saying goodbye?" Su Wanqing followed, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
Huo Yanzhi shielded Ruan Yao and helped her sit on the softest sofa. Then, he took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present.
He cleared his throat and solemnly announced:
"Yaoyao...is pregnant."
After he finished speaking, the living room fell into a deathly silence that lasted for three seconds.
Immediately, a deafening cheer erupted.
"Oh my god! Really!" Ye Mei and Su Wanqing, the two mothers, screamed with surprise and hugged each other excitedly, their eyes instantly turning red.
"Great! Great!" Even the usually stern fathers, Ruan Minghui and Huo Wenbo, were beaming with joy, rubbing their hands excitedly, unsure of what to say.
Ruan Sheng and Huo Jing went even further, jumping up and giving each other a high five.
Even the usually composed Old Master Huo's hand, which was holding a cane, was trembling slightly. He suddenly slammed his hand on the table, the sound as loud as a bell.
"The wedding! The entire wedding process has been completely redesigned with the comfort and safety of Yaoyao and the children as the highest priority!"
He paused, then dropped an even bigger bombshell.
"The procedures for transferring half of my private property to my unborn great-grandson's name shall begin immediately!"
The entire upper-class circle in Beijing was in an uproar because of the Huo family's huge commotion.
As the center of the storm, Ruan Yao is now surrounded by countless supplements, nutritionists, family doctors, and parenting experts, living a "national treasure-level" life where even drinking water is measured in milliliters.
Amidst a happy yet hectic atmosphere, a month later, the wedding day finally arrived.
