After everyone was seated, the servants brought all the dishes to the table.
The dishes had only been served a short time when Shi Wan's plate was filled with all sorts of food.
Seeing this, Chu Ningxuan pushed the "dishes" he had prepared early in the morning in front of Shi Wan.
As I looked at the dishes being pushed closer, a sudden wave of nausea and vomiting washed over me.
Shi Wan's face turned pale instantly, and she gently covered her mouth and nose to try not to be impolite.
But a strong smell of meat filled her nostrils, and Shi Wan suddenly stood up, covered her mouth, and ran quickly to the bathroom.
Lu Jingyan reacted immediately, glanced at the dark, gooey "dishes" on the table without saying a word, and got up to follow.
Chu Xiao was overjoyed to have reunited with Wanwan today, and excitedly brought up a bottle of his treasured old wine from the wine cellar.
Seeing Shi Wan rushing towards him, and even gagging as she passed by, Chu Xiao was somewhat bewildered.
Does he smell? I suspiciously raised my hand and sniffed.
Looking at the people at the table, Chu Ningyi stared at a dark, gooey mess on the table with a grim face.
The others stared intently at him, behind them?
Chu Xiao turned around and heard the sound of retching inside.
"Xiao Wan ate Chu Ningxuan's food?" Chu Xiao looked at everyone.
Madam Chu, who was the first to react, seemed to realize something, and a look of joy flashed across her face.
Inside the restroom.
Lu Jingyan gently patted Shi Wan's back, his brows furrowed with worry, and helped Shi Wan tidy up her stray hairs.
After a while, the nausea and vomiting subsided slightly.
Shi Wan slowly straightened up, supporting herself on the washbasin, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on her face.
Lu Jingyan handed her a tissue, straightened Shi Wan's collar, pulled her into his arms, and let her lean against him.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked softly.
Shi Wan nodded, clutching her chest.
The paleness on his face had not yet subsided.
Lu Jingyan massaged her temples and said worriedly, "Should I call a doctor over?"
Shi Wan buried her head in Lu Jingyan's shoulder, frowned and shook her head, "It's been like this a lot lately, calling the doctor over for every little thing, it's too much of a fuss."
The two came out of the bathroom and saw Madam Chu and Chu Zhi standing outside the door. Their eyes quickly swept over Shi Wan's abdomen.
Chu Zhi: "Wanwan, have you been unable to tolerate the smell of meat lately?"
Madam Chu stepped forward, took Shi Wan's hand, and asked softly, "Wanwan, how long has it been since your period?"
The two of them were experienced; Shi Wan had just experienced nausea and vomiting, and at first they thought it was caused by some unknown object made by Chu Ningxuan.
But there is another reason.
Lu Jingyan and Shi Wan were both taken aback when they heard Madam Chu's words.
Lu Jingyan looked pleasantly surprised, while Shi Wan looked shocked.
Shi Wan moved her hand from her chest to her lower abdomen, and Lu Jingyan gently placed his hand on the back of her hand.
"About four weeks."
Lu Jingyan calculated the time and said confidently.
"Hmm...the school's been stressful lately, I thought it was because..."
They had used contraception before, but after the doctor said they could start trying to conceive during a later checkup, they stopped using contraception.
She had considered this situation before, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingyan wrapped his arm around Shi Wan's waist and carefully protected her.
Chu Zhi and Madam Chu were overjoyed. They excitedly pulled Wanwan around, looking her over from left to right and carefully instructing her on the precautions.
Meanwhile, Chu Ningyi and Chu Ningxuan stared at Lu Jingyan with dark faces at the dining table. Their newly adopted little cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
Chu Xiao then dialed the phone number of his family doctor.
"Lu Jingyan, you!" Chu Ningxuan slammed his hand on the table.
Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
Lu Jingyan glanced at Chu Ningxuan with a chilling look, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, "What?"
Chu Ningxuan shrank back and immediately fell silent.
"Uncle and Aunt, Aunt, and cousins, I'll take Wanwan back first and visit again another day."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Shi Wan and walked out.
Inside the black Cullinan.
Lu Jingyan turned the steering wheel and drove towards Ji Chu's hospital.
"Wanwan? Go to the hospital now?" Lu Jingyan looked at Shi Wan, who was slightly stunned.
Still lost in thought, Shi Wan paused for a long time, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and then replied, "To the hospital."
She had been mentally prepared since she hadn't taken any precautions, but she hadn't expected him to come so quickly.
Ten minutes later, the Cullinan came to a smooth stop at the hospital entrance. Lu Jingyan escorted Shi Wan through blood tests and ultrasound scans. After a series of examinations, the two waited nervously in the rest room.
Half an hour later, the door to the lounge was opened.
"How is it?" Lu Jingyan unconsciously tightened his grip on Shi Wan's hand.
Ji Chu adjusted her glasses and looked at Lu Jingyan with a strange expression. "Judging from the hCG levels, she is indeed pregnant. But Lu Jingyan..."
Ji Chu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "You're a beast."
Lu Jingyan ignored Ji Chu, took the test report from his hand, and when he saw the numbers on it, the tension in his eyes instantly relaxed.
Suppressing the joy in his eyes, he calmly helped Shi Wan to the sofa and coaxed her gently, "Wanwan, you didn't eat much at noon. Your husband will take you home and cook you something delicious."
Shi Wan was still in shock. She was looking forward to the baby, but she was also a little worried about the doctor's advice.
She couldn't bear the pain of losing her child again.
The child's arrival was too sudden; she had only just reunited with the Chu family and made her decision about her future with Lu Jingyan.
This little life has arrived, and she is now even embroiled in public opinion. She is afraid that she cannot protect the little life in her womb.
Seeing Shi Wan staring blankly with her eyes down, Lu Jingyan's eyes narrowed.
He knew what Shi Wan was afraid of. "Xiao Wan, don't be afraid... I'm here."
Shi Wan suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with helplessness. "Jing Yan, what if I can't protect him? I can't bear to lose him again."
The unease and anxiety in her words stung Lu Jingyan's heart.
He could still vividly recall the helpless and pained look she had shown him last time.
Lu Jingyan knelt down in front of Shi Wan, held her hand tightly, and comforted her, "Wanwan, you are not alone. You still have me, and there are many people around you who are protecting you."
"Shall we give birth to him?"
His tone was gentle and suggestive.
"Wanwan, I love you, so much. I met you twenty years ago, and I knew you were the one. I'm a selfish person; once I've decided on someone, I'll never let go."
"You can never abandon me in this lifetime. No matter where you go, I will chase after you to the ends of the earth."
Lu Jingyan's sudden confession left Shi Wan stunned. She was just afraid that she would lose the child again due to her physical condition.
Why did this man suddenly confess his feelings for me out of the blue? And to make matters worse, he even dared to threaten me.
Standing to the side, Ji Chu said, "Are you two pretending I don't exist?"
Having just been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Ji Chu leaned lazily against the wall, watching the two of them show their love.
What did you just say about me?
"Beast."
"Oh? I'm a beast, and you're... livestock?" Lu Jingyan raised his eyes.
