Chapter 188 Pregnancy
Wen Jiu became pregnant the year after her wedding, by which time her grandmother had already passed away.
However, the elderly man attended their wedding ceremony and passed away without any regrets.
As for why Wen Jiu got pregnant in the second year of marriage, it was because although Zhou Yanchuan had mentioned wanting children before, he always used protection during intercourse.
Over time, Wen Jiu developed an indescribable feeling. One time, when she was drunk, she couldn't help but pester him to ask why he was wearing a condom, since they had said they wanted to have a child.
He pinched her cheek: "You really want to be a mother that much?"
"think."
He smiled, but didn't answer.
Wen Jiu tilted her head to look at him: "Don't you want to have a child with me?"
Perhaps seeing that she was drunk, his tone softened as he spoke: "Yes, I do."
"Then why?"
Zhou Yanchuan didn't immediately explain the reason; he simply wiped her face with a towel.
After a long pause, he asked very seriously, "Do you really want to?"
His eyes and brows were illuminated by the light, exuding an indescribable tenderness. Wen Jiu couldn't resist and tilted her head back to kiss his lips.
Of course, I really want to.

After deciding to have children, Zhou Yanchuan quit drinking, and he stopped smoking after their marriage.
His daily routine became regular, and as a result, hers also became healthier.
The baby came naturally.
However, Wen Jiu didn't realize she was pregnant at first. She was extremely busy with work during that time and didn't even realize her period hadn't come.
It was only later that I felt extremely weak and unable to exert any strength, so I went to the hospital for a checkup.
She went for all her checkups by herself.
Zhou Yanchuan was handling work abroad, so she went directly to the hospital after get off work one day.
At the hospital.
After getting her number, Wen Jiu took the form and went into the consultation room.
The doctor pointed to the chair opposite her, gesturing for her to sit down, and asked, "Where have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"For the past two weeks or so, I haven't had a good appetite, I get sleepy easily, and I don't feel any energy."
The doctor paused, pen in hand, and looked up to ask, "When was your last period? Was it regular?"
Wen Jiu was taken aback, then suddenly remembered: "The last time was about two months ago. Was it because you've been too busy with work lately that you postponed it?"
The doctor didn't answer, but remained silent for a while before saying, "Loss of appetite, weakness, and delayed menstruation—these symptoms are very similar to those of early pregnancy."
Wen Jiu didn't quite understand.
Seeing her like this, the doctor wrote something on a piece of paper, tore it off and handed it to her, instructing, "Go to the lab first, and we'll determine the situation after the results come out."
Wen Jiu took the test results from the doctor and sat in the chair for a while before finding her voice: "Do you mean it's possible I'm pregnant?"
The woman nodded: "Yes."
Wen Jiu tightened her grip on the medical report, her mind foggy and she couldn't quite describe the feeling.

After finishing the examination, while waiting for the results, Wen Jiu took out her phone from her pocket, wanting to text Zhou Yanchuan, but hesitated and finally put the phone back in her pocket.
Just then, a nurse came over and called her.
She stood up, took the test report, and was momentarily at a loss when she saw the results.
That day, Wen Jiu sat alone in the corridor for a long time.
Lu Nian, who was waiting outside, waited and waited, but no one came. He was really worried, so he came in to look for her.
Upon seeing her sitting alone on the bench, he strode over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Madam?"
Hearing the sound, Wen Jiu looked up.
She stared at him blankly for two seconds before remembering to say, "It's nothing."
Seeing the man's appearance, Lu Nian didn't believe for a second that he was alright.
Just as he was about to ask something else, Wen Jiu stood up from her chair: "When is Zhou Yanchuan coming back?"
Lu Nian was taken aback by the question, and after careful consideration, he said, "The situation abroad is a bit tricky, and it may take some time."
After he finished speaking, he wondered what he would say if she asked him what to do next. Then he heard her say "Oh," and then she left.
Forgotten, the wife's mood remained indifferent.
If any other woman married a man like that, she would probably keep a very close eye on him.
She, on the other hand, never checks up on him or his phone, and is even busier than his boss. She is always gentle and kind in her daily life.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if his wife really liked their boss.
Until that time the man was hospitalized.
During that time, the company encountered some problems, and the boss asked her to keep it a secret. She traveled back and forth between China and abroad, and after a month of this, her body couldn't take it anymore and she was hospitalized.
She started arguing with him in the car.
Lu Nian glanced at the rearview mirror. The man who was cold and ruthless in public was now sitting with his head down, enduring the scolding without uttering a sound.
He drove cautiously, afraid that his wife might say something too harsh and cause his boss to lose his temper.
The result was unexpected.
Her words grew increasingly harsh.
"I'm not a child, I don't need you to sleep with me every night."
"If you're busy with work, then be busy with work. Why are you bothering me?"
"If you think you're so healthy, why are you in the hospital?"
"You travel between China and other countries three or four times a month, why don't you just live on the plane?"
...
The man inevitably frowned.
Lu Nian thought to himself, "Oh no, this time they're really going to get angry."
But the very next second that thought crossed his mind, he heard a gentle voice say, "I just don't want you to worry, please don't cry."
Lu Nian asked in confusion: Who's crying?
Just as he had this question, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the girl in the rearview mirror had red eyes.
It was only then that she realized the man's frown wasn't out of anger, but because he saw tears in her eyes and felt sorry for her.
He pulled her onto his lap and coaxed her.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Lu Nian realized that he had been worrying unnecessarily.
How could someone who gets scolded and then tries to appease you possibly be angry?

After Wen Jiu found out she was pregnant, she called Zhou Yanchuan that very evening. Just as she was about to tell him that she was pregnant, a familiar female voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
