Spring 2008.
As soon as Xing Haodong got off the plane, his secretary told him, "My wife called. Please rush to the hospital immediately."
His face darkened: "What happened?"
"I don't know either. Madam didn't say, but from the sound of her voice... she seemed a little nervous."
Xing Haodong was worried that something was wrong with Jiang Mingxin's health, so he immediately declined his colleague's invitation to dinner and drove to the hospital.
Over the years, they have always been accustomed to going to the military hospital for medical treatment. This time they suddenly changed to a new place, and he immediately felt the seriousness of the matter.
After parking the car on the side of the road, he took out his Motorola and called Jiang Mingxin.
"You're here, so soon? Get out of the car and come in through the side door. Be careful not to be seen by anyone you know!"
Jiang Mingxin's voice was a little hoarse, but he sounded in good spirits.
Xing Haodong frowned, his voice suddenly trembling: "What's going on? You don't feel well, but you must not hide it from me."
"Oh, you misunderstood. I'm fine... or not. You'll know when you get there! Come on, I'll meet you under the pine tree near the side door."
As soon as Jiang Mingxin hung up the phone, Xing Haodong rushed to her side.
Because the distance is not far, it only takes two or three minutes to get there.
I felt even more strange when I found that Jiang Mingxin was wearing sunglasses, a hat, and a scarf.
He walked over, held her hand, and was about to pull her into his arms. "What's going on? What's wrong that requires you to come all this way to see a doctor? Why are you wrapping yourself up so tightly? Do you have skin allergies and can't be exposed to the wind?"
That shouldn't be so mysterious!
"No, I'm not allergic!" Jiang Mingxin rarely hesitated, but today she seemed a little hesitant, "It's just... I... I think I'm pregnant."
"Pregnant, right? It's okay, as long as we treat it seriously..." Xing Haodong repeated it instinctively, but when he realized what was happening, he froze. "What? Pregnant!"
He is almost 50 years old, and his wife is pregnant again?
"Are you sure?" Xing Haodong's mind was in a mess. Sometimes gongs and drums sounded, and sometimes heavy rain poured down. He didn't know how to describe this complicated feeling.
Jiang Mingxin said anxiously, "That's why I asked you to come with me for the checkup because I'm not sure. What if it's a false pregnancy? I didn't have such a big reaction when I was pregnant with Jiujiu..."
Xing Haodong was surprised: "Morning sickness?"
That’s for sure, she must be pregnant.
Jiang Mingxin shook her head at him. "If there's something wrong with your stomach, it might be like this. But I didn't have my period last month, so that's a possibility. Anyway, let's go make an appointment and get checked out."
The two walked into the hospital hand in hand.
Today is Sunday, and there are many people registering in the obstetrics and gynecology department. The doctor who examined Jiang Mingxin was a female doctor in her forties.
Maybe she was too busy with work recently, so she hardly smiled. When she saw them walking in, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The man was handsome and tall, looking mature and steady, with a hint of sharpness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a suit and worth a lot of money. He was either a businessman or an official, definitely not an ordinary citizen.
Look at the woman he was holding. Her face was full of collagen, her features were delicate and her skin was fair. She looked even younger, probably only in her twenties.
She was dressed in a light yellow dress, very stylishly, and it was obvious that she took good care of herself. Every part of her body was exquisite, and her hands were white and delicate, which showed that she didn't do much housework.
As beautiful as a female star.
A successful man in his thirties came to see the obstetrics and gynecology department with a beautiful young woman.
The female doctor immediately understood what was going on.
Nowadays, the social atmosphere is very different from the past.
I don't know how many men have become bad after becoming rich and powerful, and it is common to see them keeping mistresses. Once they get their women pregnant, they will take them to a remote hospital for examination.
Therefore, her attitude was a bit bad. She directly wrote a prescription and asked Jiang Mingxin to take a urine test, and then asked her: "Have you ever had an abortion before?" When Jiang Mingxin heard this, her slender eyebrows frowned.
"No."
"Have you ever given birth?"
"I have a daughter."
Hearing this, the female doctor glanced at Xing Haodong with a forced smile, "Is it from you two too?"
"What else? My daughter is not mine or my husband's. Could she have popped out from a crack in a rock?"
Jiang Mingxin's anger immediately flared up. "What's wrong with you, doctor? You've been giving me a cold shoulder since I walked in. If you don't want to see me, I'll go next door!"
The female doctor was surprised. "Are you really... a couple?"
Xing Haodong was also angry now. "Doctor, what you said is really interesting. If we weren't husband and wife, why would we be in the obstetrics and gynecology department together?"
The female doctor immediately pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly: "Sorry, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Then go and do the urine test quickly, and bring the results to me later."
Xing Haodong picked up the test results and walked out the door with Jiang Mingxin.
Finally, the test results came out, and it turned out that I was pregnant. Counting the days, it was almost two months.
Jiang Mingxin's face turned pale instantly.
Xing Haodong thought she was thinking about the painful experience when she gave birth to Jiujiu, and his heart ached.
"Be especially careful for the next three months. Refrain from sexual intercourse, rest, and avoid overexertion." The female doctor wrote on the medical record. "Are you planning to have this child?"
Jiang Mingxin subconsciously looked at Xing Haodong next to him.
Xing Haodong's expression was extremely cold at this moment, and his eyes were sharp, constantly scanning the female doctor's face.
This aura is something that not everyone can withstand.
I don’t know where this big shot comes from, why is he so hesitant about having a child.
"Hit him." Xing Haodong squeezed out these three words after holding it in for a long time. Although he was reluctant, he didn't want to let Jiang Mingxin suffer anymore.
Hearing this, the female doctor was a little confused. Aren’t they a real couple? Why don’t they want children?
When Jiang Mingxin heard this, he said angrily, "Why not? This is our own flesh and blood!"
"You are so old. If something happens, won't it cost me my life?"
"Do you think I'm too old?"
"No, it's just that you are really old and it's dangerous for a pregnant woman."
What Xing Haodong said made sense, but Jiang Mingxin still felt uncomfortable.
More than ten years have passed, and Jiujiu is already in high school and about to take the college entrance examination. She has long forgotten the pain of childbirth.
The female doctor asked helplessly: "So do you want it or not?"
"don't want."
"want!"
Jiang Mingxin and Xing Haodong unexpectedly had a disagreement.
The female doctor couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Your wife is only in her early twenties, right? When did you give birth to your first child? Was it a natural birth or a caesarian section? As long as the time interval is not too short, having a second child won't have any impact."
Jiang Mingxin tugged at Xing Haodong's arm and replied, "I'm 37 years old."
