Chapter 664 Pregnancy
One afternoon, Chen Zheng accompanied Lu Dai to check in at several Internet celebrity stores. Although she had been to many places, she was still very excited when checking in at Internet celebrity stores. Chen Zheng also followed her to eat a lot of snacks and afternoon tea.
In the evening, the two of them also had dinner at an Internet-famous restaurant. It was 8:30 when they finished, and they took a taxi back to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Zheng had some urgent work to deal with, so Lu Dai took this opportunity to go out for a walk and met Cen Sixue who was about to get off work in the hotel lobby.
When the two met, Cen Sixue's gaze was a little evasive and her expression was very embarrassed.
Lu Dai stopped in front of her and asked with a smile, "Is it convenient for you to chat for a few minutes?"
Cen Sixue pursed her lips and nodded, then Lu Dai and Cen Sixue went to the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel.
Lu Dai thoughtfully ordered two glasses of juice: "It's so late, drinking coffee will easily cause insomnia."
"Thank you." Cen Sixue and Lu Dai expressed their gratitude.
The juice came up quickly. Lu Dai took a sip and then asked Cen Sixue, "Is work going well?"
Cen Sixue nodded. She probably guessed what Lu Dai was going to say, so she took the initiative to explain to her, "I have already switched shifts with a colleague. Starting tomorrow, she will be in charge of your daily affairs."
Lu Dai: "Thank you."
Cen Sixue: "No need, it's me who has caused you trouble."
Lu Dai: "Actually, that's not why I came to you to talk about this."
Cen Sixue was stunned for a moment, her expression slightly incredulous.
Lu Dai: "Just don't let it affect your work."
She didn't say too many high-sounding words. Every sentence she said was direct but sincere enough: "What happened in the past is in the past. It's good that you are willing to start over."
Cen Sixue carefully considered Lu Dai's words, understood her meaning, and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Lu Dai smiled. She knew that Cen Sixue was also a smart person. Some things didn’t need to be said so clearly. Mutual understanding was enough.
"When did you come to Hong Kong City?" Lu Dai started chatting with Cen Sixue like an ordinary friend.
"I've only been here for more than half a month." Cen Sixue said.
Lu Dai: "How is the treatment at the hotel?"
Cen Sixue: "Not bad."
Lu Dai nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Cen Sixue seemed to enjoy this job. She was not short of money and probably just wanted to find something to do.
"You don't have to hide from Chen Zheng deliberately. Don't let this matter affect your normal work." Lu Dai looked at Cen Sixue, "I know that neither you nor he is that kind of person."
Lu Dai didn't beat around the bush at all. The last sentence sounded like a polite remark at first, but it was different when matched with her tone.
Extra sincere.
Cen Sixue pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked at Lu Dai for a while, then finally nodded.
There was something she kept in her heart and didn't say - she felt that Shen Zheng would fall in love with Lu Dai sooner or later, and Lu Dai was more suitable for him than her.
fine.
——
The next day, someone replaced Cen Sixue's shift. Shen Zheng was not surprised by this, and Lu Dai didn't say anything.
During the Spring Festival holiday, Chen Zheng accompanied Lu Dai out to play every day and checked in at many places. The two of them had breakfast at the hotel every morning and went out, and would not come back until the evening.
They had to see a doctor early in the morning on the seventh day of the New Year. On the afternoon of the sixth day, the two came back early and ran into Cen Sixue in the hotel lobby. Cen Sixue did not hide, but nodded to them as if she were meeting an ordinary friend.
And then it just passed.
When Chen Zheng saw Cen Sixue's attitude and remembered what Lu Dai had said before, he became much more calm and nodded at Cen Sixue as a response.
…
The next morning, Shen Zheng and Lu Dai went to a private hospital to see a doctor and had another check-up. Because the timing was right, they started receiving ovulation-stimulating injections that day.
The doctor specifically warned her that this would be a painful process, and Lu Dai had prepared herself mentally in advance. She remained relatively calm overall, but Shen Zheng was very nervous and kept asking her if it hurt.
This happened every time for the next week or so.
The process went smoothly, and soon the day for egg retrieval arrived. Shen Zheng started to get nervous on the way to the hospital, and when he went up with Lu Dai, his palms were sweaty.
On the contrary, Lu Dai, the person involved, was relatively calm and even comforted him with a few words.
Looking at Lu Dai's smiling face, Shen Zheng suddenly felt that her whole body was glowing - she was really strong, strong in appearance and even stronger in heart. Although she was younger than him, she was more mature than him most of the time.
"Okay, don't be so nervous." Before entering the operating room, Lu Dai patted Shen Zheng's arm, "You're making me nervous too."
Shen Zheng took a breath and shook his head: “Okay, I’m not nervous.”
"Wait for me, let's try to succeed this time." After leaving these words, Lu Dai walked into the operating room with a smile.
As she said, the egg retrieval was successful, the in vitro fertilization was successful, and the embryo transfer was also successful.
The two stayed in Hong Kong for a month, and Lu Dai successfully became pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, and all indicators were normal.
However, she still suffered a lot during the process. Although Lu Dai had a good foundation, the test tube was really tiring.
After completing this process, Lu Dai's body and face were a little swollen, especially when she woke up every morning, her eyelids were swollen like walnuts.
Lu Dai is a person who values efficiency. Since the operation was successful, she naturally would not stay in Gangcheng for long. After completing her first prenatal checkup, she set off to return to Beicheng - she still had to go back to work.
Shen Zheng knew he couldn't stop her, so he could only cooperate.
Although he knew little about Lu Dai, he was very clear about her attitude towards work. She would not give up her job just because she was pregnant, so he had to make the choice.
He couldn't replace her during the pregnancy process, all he could do was take good care of her as much as possible.
Chen Zheng had consulted a nutritionist before returning to North City. He also made up for the time when Lu Dai was undergoing IVF treatment.
The flight landed in the afternoon, and Lu Dai rushed to work early the next morning.
Shen Zheng watched her leave and waited at home for a while before the nutritionist arrived. After the two of them communicated, the nutritionist went to prepare lunch for Lu Dai.
Shen Zheng didn't go to the company. He sat on the sofa and read for a few hours. After the nutritionist and aunt prepared lunch, he carried two thermal boxes and set off to Lu's.
Everyone in the Lu family knew him, and Shen Zheng arrived at the door of Lu Dai's office without any obstruction.
After knocking on the door and getting an answer, he turned the doorknob and walked in.
At that time, Lu Dai was sitting at her desk working, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, very focused.
"Is the budget report for the mining area ready? Your efficiency—" Lu Dai raised her head and got stuck when she saw Chen Zheng.
"Why are you here?"
"Let's eat, and then we can get busy again." Shen Zheng said.
Only then did Lu Dai notice the two thermal boxes in his hands.
She was a little unbelievable, but her expression was calm: "Are you here to bring me food?"
"We just hired a nutritionist. Please check if it suits your appetite. If there's anything that needs improvement, I'll ask her to make some adjustments." Shen Zheng answered irrelevantly: "Do you want to eat over there at the coffee table?"
