The doctor doing the ultrasound applied coupling agent on Xu Niannian's belly. For a moment, Xu Niannian felt grateful for the cool touch.

The doctor looked at the dots on the monitor, frowned, and shook the coupling agent in his hand.

Seeing her like this, Xu Niannian's heartbeat also accelerated, as if she had run 800 meters, for fear that the doctor would say something unpleasant.

Looking back, she didn't drink or smoke during her pregnancy, Lu Huaijin was in good health, and they also ate food grown with spiritual spring water, so the fetus wouldn't be affected by poor development.

She clenched her hands nervously and asked anxiously:

"Doctor, is there anything wrong?"

The doctor nodded, then shook his head:

"There are three embryos inside, which means you have three babies in your belly."

When Xu Niannian heard this, her mouth opened wide and she looked at the doctor in surprise.

The doctor was also surprised. Their hospital had not seen triplets in recent years, so the ultrasound was done extra carefully.

Lu Huaijin, who was sitting outside, also felt that they had been inside for too long and wanted to rush in.

The next moment, Xu Niannian came out with a report form.

Seeing that Xu Niannian's lips were a little pale, Lu Huaijin walked up to her and touched her head:

"It's okay. I'm here."

Xu Niannian handed him the list without saying a word.

She is not yet ready to accept that she is pregnant with triplets. There are actually three in her belly, while she and Lu Huaijin had guessed it was only one or two.

When three people came at once, her first thought was that if there was no space, she might not be able to support them.

As Lu Huaijin looked at the report, his brows furrowed more and more. What he was worried about was, could Xu Niannian's thin waist support three kids?

Lu Huaijin put his arm around her waist and walked towards the doctor's office without caring about the blood test results.

Fortunately, there are not many people doing prenatal check-ups now, and the doctors have plenty of time, as you can see they came back so early.

Taking the report from Lu Huaijin:

"The results are out so early?"

He took another look at the word "multiple births" on the report, raised his glasses to make sure it was correct before looking up and congratulating them both.

But before he could finish his congratulations, Lu Huaijin interrupted him:

"Doctor, I want to ask, can my wife bear this condition?"

After he said this, the doctor had to look at him with a higher regard. Most people, when they know that their wives are pregnant with triplets, rarely consider whether their bodies can bear it.

Instead, he is happy and feels that he has brought honor to his family, so he has to show off, right?

He knows that asking this question at least shows that he is a man who knows how to cherish his wife.

Just now he finished congratulating me and wanted to ask this question:

"Triplet births do have risks. After all, one more child means one more burden on the mother. But the babies are already in my belly, so there is no other choice. Either I don't want them, or I keep them."

Hearing these words, Xu Niannian felt her hand suddenly being tightened by Lu Huaijin.

The abortion technology in this era does seem to be not very good. If the curettage is too harsh, it is easy to damage the endometrium, making it difficult to get pregnant in the future.

When she was in modern times, she could still read news about triplets being reduced, but here she doesn't have the technology to do that.

Technology does change life.

Xu Niannian turned around and saw that Lu Huaijin looked very bad. Knowing that he was worried, she patted the back of his hand.

She had never given birth before, and she felt both joy and fear about having a baby.

In particular, I have seen other people experiencing difficult childbirth and heavy bleeding.

The office suddenly fell silent for a minute, and Lu Huaijin's voice was a little dry:

"This should be your first child. If you abort it, the female body will be damaged and you may not be able to get pregnant in the future, so you have to think carefully."

"If you want to abort it, you need a marriage certificate, your employment certificate, and a letter of introduction from the team."

The more the doctor spoke, the colder the room felt. He adjusted his glasses:

"In fact, if your wife doesn't have underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, as long as she has regular prenatal checkups, I don't think it's a big problem. This is something you need to consider carefully."

He felt guilty about it, as he had never had triplets before and couldn't really guarantee it.

But the man's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and he really didn't dare to say anything.

Xu Niannian felt that the big palm that wrapped around her used to be warm, but today it was ice-cold, as if she had fallen into ice. She had no choice but to hold his hand back and interlock their fingers.

She asked the doctor again:

"If I want to keep this baby, what should I pay attention to?"

She had space, and even if something unexpected happened, she felt she could save her life.

The main reason is that I was too lonely in my previous life and had no family.

She wanted a child who was related to her by blood, even if it was risky.

The doctor also observed the couple. Not to mention that the man had a straight back and was wearing a military uniform.

Just because both men and women are wearing watches, you can tell that the family is well-off and the man dotes on his woman.

"Be careful to eat less sweets. If you have three children, they may grow too fast and your belly may not be able to handle it. Eat more foods high in calcium and iron, and have regular prenatal checkups."

This statement would be outrageous if said in this day and age. Who can eat so much sugar?

Lu Huaijin wrote them down one by one:

"Thank you, doctor."

Then he helped Xu Niannian up and walked out. He didn't say a word on the way, his lips tightly pursed.

When they reached a corner, he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her, carefully avoiding her belly.

The voice was a little hoarse:

"Do you want this baby?"

Xu Niannian also put her arms around his back:

"Brother Huaijin, if you don't want it, can you accept that we will never have children?"

Not to mention what Lu Huaijin's family will think, there will also be a lot of other people's views and rumors.

"Don't worry about it. I just want you to be healthy."

"But abortion also has risks. I want a family."

As long as she said this, Lu Huaijin understood that her previous parents did not make her feel much warmth, and she just wanted a home of her own.

Lu Huaijin kissed her on the forehead:

"It's my fault that you have suffered."

Xu Niannian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The doctor who had just done the ultrasound on the triplets said that it was probably because three eggs were ovulated, and it actually had nothing to do with him.

But since the man loved to take things from her, she didn't say much.

Said coquettishly:

"I'm hungry, and the baby in my belly needs to eat too."

Without waiting for the inspection report to come out, Lu Huaijin pulled people and walked towards the state-owned hotel.

Along the way, Xu Niannian found that the car was driving slower than when it came.

If it were any slower, it would be comparable to a bicycle. Along the way, people would stare at their cars, as if wondering if they were showing off their car and driving so slowly.

Xu Niannian finally couldn't stand it anymore:

"Brother Huaijin, if you go any slower, I'll starve to death."
