Chapter 203 Suspected Pregnancy
Jiang Wan was a doctor in her previous life, albeit a psychiatrist, and she had never been married or had children, but she probably knew the specific procedures for male-female reproduction.
It was easier for a young and healthy mother to conceive, especially since Li Chengxiu was so persistent. They had been married for several months, so it wouldn't be surprising if they got pregnant.
"Let me first say I can't be sure, I'm just guessing since I have no experience. I suspect I might be pregnant..."
"What?!"
Li Chengxiu, who was squatting on the side and muttering to himself, suddenly widened his eyes with a look of shock. He asked loudly without realizing it, which scared Jiang Wan for no reason.
"What are you shouting about? Are you trying to chase away thieves in the middle of the night?"
"No, I, you, that..."
His panicked fingers didn't know who to point at for a moment, and finally pointed at his wife's still slender waist, with a dazed look on his face.
"Wife, could I have made a mistake? When I measured your waist with my hand just now, it seemed to be thinner. Even though I've never been pregnant, I know that pregnant women tend to get fatter around the waist."
"No way? I really don't think I've lost weight."
Jiang Wan, who had been full of confidence, suddenly became a little uncertain after hearing what he said. He lowered his head and touched his waist and abdomen up and down, left and right, then looked up with a little doubt and asked.
"Really thinner? No, I guess not. I looked at my face in the mirror and it seems I've gained a bit of weight."
"Have you gained weight? No."
Seeing that his wife was quite confident in what she said, Li Chengxiu also began to feel uncertain.
"You shouldn't be fat, right? I watch you every day. If you were really fat, how could I not notice it?"
"Who are you asking?"
"Didn't I want to echo what you said?"
Two people who didn't understand much sat on the bed and looked at each other.
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly quiet and awkward. Li Chengxiu, stared at speechlessly by his wife, chuckled dryly, scratched his head, and then cautiously made a suggestion.
"How about I go get Doctor Meng over here and have him look at you? He's a very skilled doctor and can treat any serious injury in the barracks. He'll definitely be able to tell if you're pregnant or not!"
The more he talked, the more he felt that his thoughts made sense, and he was so excited that he put on his shoes and rushed out.
"I'm going to find him now!"
"Stop right there!"
Jiang Wan called the man back again.
"It's only been a few days, and the doctor couldn't feel my pulse. I'll tell you after I can feel it myself.
Besides, Meng Yu's father is in the military camp. What's your reason for bringing him to our house? You've already returned military power to the court, so why are you still getting involved?
Be careful that some censors get wind of this and report you to the Emperor. I wonder if you'll still be so proud?"
"Don't be angry, my dear wife. I was just talking casually. I didn't really plan to go to the military camp."
Li Chengxiu sat back down, scratching his head in embarrassment. Then, as if suddenly coming to his senses, he stared at his wife's belly and laughed.
"Hehehe, I'm going to be a father, hahahahaha, I'm going to be a father!"
The light in his eyes became more and more fiery. He carefully moved his big head over, with a look of dazed joy on his face.
"Wife, we're going to be parents. Why does this feel so unreal? It's so sudden."
Jiang Wan smiled and poured cold water on him.
"It's really unreal. After all, there's no sign of it happening yet! Don't be too happy too soon. Maybe I just have irregular periods.
After all, I've already warned you. This is my first time doing this and I have no experience. The only time I've experienced this was when my mom was pregnant with Jiang Xiaosi, and the symptoms I'm experiencing now are somewhat similar.
If you weren't such a clingy person, I wouldn't even want to tell you this."
"Why didn't you tell me? I'm his biological father, how could I not be the first to know that my child came to us?"
Li Chengxiu stared with wide eyes, trying to defend his legal rights as a father. Jiang Wan glanced at him, pursed her lips, and sighed.
"I didn't intend to hide it from you. I just wanted to wait until the news was confirmed before informing you. In case I was wrong, wouldn't you be disappointed too?"
"Wife, what you said is wrong! I am your man, you must be the first to tell me about this kind of thing.
Even if I find out I'm not pregnant in a few days, it doesn't matter. It just proves that the child has short legs and runs slowly. Anyway, it will come sooner or later, so why should I be disappointed?
Jiang Wan once again confirmed that it was great to have a love-brained husband. No matter what happened, he could always help you find the best excuse.
"Honestly? If it's not true, you really won't be disappointed?"
"I'm sincere! I'm not the kind of unreasonable person! Don't worry, my wife, I'm a strong person. I can handle anything."
"Oh, you're so careless."
"I'm obviously open-minded."
"Wrong logic?"
"Correct answer."
The couple enjoys talking to each other every day, exchanging sweet words with each other.
Seeing that he had made his wife happy, Li Chengxiu smiled and moved closer, then carefully placed his big head on his wife's belly, listening with a curious look on his face.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh, don't talk. Let me hear what this little brat is doing in your belly."
The last time Jiang Wan was speechless was a minute ago. She helplessly reached out her hands, one on each side, and lifted her husband's ears, forcing him to lift his head and look at her.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, can you please listen to my advice?"
"Please speak, my beloved."
"Can you please crawl further away, Yuanrun? I'm always worried about whether your intelligence will infect my princess's child in the future."
"Why do you say that, my dear?"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi blinked in grievance.
"I was just in a good mood for a moment and wanted to say hello to the little prince or princess in advance. What's wrong with that?"
"That's totally wrong!"
With a ruthless slap, the aggrieved face was pushed aside and Princess Qi shook her finger proudly.
"Maybe they were already planning to move in, but suddenly you showed up outside to say hello. It's not impossible that the child would turn around and see such a foolish father and run away with the placenta in the middle of the night."
"Do you dislike me?"
"OK."
Just a pair of modal particles can instantly break down the defense of someone who just looked so majestic.
"I just wanted to hear the baby's movements, and you're disrespecting their father in front of our children? Wife, you've changed, don't you know? You didn't say that just half a quarter of an hour ago!"
“Well, I changed my mind.
Now I suddenly feel for my mother. Just imagine a stupid father with a stupid child who does stupid things all the time, and I am exhausted from following him every day. Then life will basically be meaningless.
Alas, my mother's life has been truly difficult."
