Pregnant

Chen Qin was still quite busy this Spring Festival.

Besides accompanying her parents around, she had to spend the rest of her time at home dealing with corporate group matters. Even though she was on holiday, her body and mind weren't completely relaxed.

Click-clack, click-clack. Wearing her loungewear, she was typing on her keyboard in her room when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Come in, Chen Qin said. The door was pushed open, and a housekeeper walked in carrying a bowl of soup.

Miss Chen, have some soup.

Thank you. Chen Qin smiled and asked her to just leave it on the table for now.

Half an hour later, after Chen Qin finally finished her work at hand, her gaze fell upon the soup that had long since turned lukewarm. Picking up the bowl, Chen Qin subconsciously took a sniff, but suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

...

Chen Qin covered her mouth, walked to the bathroom, and began to dry heave.

Half a minute later, she turned on the faucet and simply rinsed her mouth.

Huh? Chen Qin couldn't quite understand what was wrong with her. She returned to the table and smelled the soup again. It was clearly the scent she remembered, but for some reason, it made her feel nauseous.

Could it be that I've been too tired lately? Chen Qin rubbed her temples, then got up and went downstairs.

At this time, in the living room on the first floor, Father Chen and Mother Chen were sitting together, chatting with relatives who had come to pay New Year visits. When she saw Chen Qin, Mother Chen smiled and asked,

You're wearing so little again. Did you drink that soup just now?

No, I feel a bit nauseous for some reason. Chen Qin shook her head and poured herself a glass of mineral water.

Nauseous?

Yeah... maybe a slight cold? Chen Qin smiled faintly.

Mother Chen looked Chen Qin up and down, then asked, Have you and Shuangzai done anything?

Huh?

Like making a baby.

Chen Qin nearly choked, then subconsciously touched her stomach. Ah?

You are? Seeing Chen Qin's reaction of touching her stomach, Mother Chen immediately understood that she had already been intimate with Ye Shuang. However, she and Father Chen were not the old-fashioned type. Instead, she said,

Go to the hospital for a check-up right now.

You two, secretly making such a big deal, Father Chen said, clicking his tongue. If you're really nauseous, it's better to go get checked.

Oh. Chen Qin stuck out her tongue. She indeed hadn't thought about using protection; she practically drained Ye Shuang dry every time.

However, Chen Qin wasn't in such a hurry to go to the hospital. She had experienced nausea before, so she planned to wait and see if her period was late before considering a hospital visit.

If you really are pregnant, then your wedding will have to be moved up. At the very least, before your belly gets big, Father Chen added.

Explain it to Shuangzai.

Chen Qin just smiled. I don't think it's necessarily that. Let's wait a while and see.

Waiting a while will be too late. Go to the hospital now. Mother Chen's expression turned serious, and she reached out to poke her daughter's forehead.

You're about to become a mother, and you don't even have a clue.

Oh.

Chen Qin thought about it, but obediently followed Mother Chen to the hospital for a check-up anyway.

On the way to the hospital, Chen Qin touched her lower abdomen, unable to help but wonder what it would be like to carry a child. Could she give birth to a little Ye Shuang?

He would probably be very cute, right?

Picking up her phone, Chen Qin thought for a moment, then sent a message to Ye Shuang.

Chen Qin: I'm heading out now.

...

After a while, Ye Shuang replied.

Ye Shuang: Bought some potted plants.

Ye Shuang: Image.jpg

Ye Shuang: Where are you heading out to? Coming back to my place?

Chen Qin: The hospital.

Ye Shuang: You're not feeling well? What happened?

Chen Qin: Not exactly. Guess?

Ye Shuang: Is your stomach upset again?

Chen Qin: Feeling a bit nauseous. Ye, do you think I might be pregnant?

After this message was sent, there was a long silence from the other side. Seeing that Ye Shuang wasn't replying, Chen Qin inexplicably felt a bit anxious, and then asked—

Chen Qin: Ye, do you not want to have a baby so soon?

Chen Qin: Then... should I get rid of it?

At this moment, Chen Qin's slender fingers gripped her phone, and her mind began to run wild. The joyful mood she had just felt instantly plummeted at the thought that Ye Shuang might not want to be a father so early.

A moment later, her phone finally vibrated.

Ye Shuang: I was just changing clothes. Which hospital are you going to? I'll head over right now.

Ye Shuang: Why would you get rid of it? I love kids.

Ye Shuang: Silly, don't do anything foolish.

Seeing Ye Shuang's messages, Chen Qin started to smile foolishly again. She touched her long hair, only to notice her mother staring at her from the side.

What?

Nothing. Seeing you cry one moment and laugh the next, I'm wondering if you've developed schizophrenia, Mother Chen teased, feeling that her usually shrewd daughter was always acting silly in front of Ye Shuang.

Chen Qin: ...

Was it really that exaggerated?

Ye seems to be coming to the hospital too, Chen Qin said.

Tell him not to come. What if you aren't pregnant? Mother Chen said. What if it's a false alarm?

I... I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

What a loudmouth, Mother Chen said helplessly. However, she also knew that Chen Qin was someone who simply couldn't keep secrets from Ye Shuang. Moreover, her coy, little-girl demeanor right now was completely unlike how a big corporate CEO should act.

If you really are pregnant, then you'll need to set aside company matters for a while and focus on having the baby safely, Mother Chen continued telling Chen Qin.

Given your previous lifestyle, it would be bad for both you and the baby.

The company is very busy. Chen Qin had actually planned to continue working even if she was pregnant.

Leave it to Shuangzai. After all, he's the one who knocked you up, Mother Chen said. He's not an outsider anyway, so we can rest easy leaving it to him.

Oh. Chen Qin obediently nodded. She was never really a career-driven iron lady to begin with. Compared to being a corporate president, Chen Qin would actually much rather stay at home, cook for Ye Shuang, support her husband, and raise their children.

She just wondered if Ye would be willing to temporarily take over the company's affairs.

A little while later, Chen Qin and her mother arrived at the hospital.

Before they could even prepare for the check-up, Ye Shuang also arrived at the hospital. After all, he was closer to the hospital and had left the house rather quickly.

Uh, Auntie... you're here too? Ye Shuang had come in a hurry. When he saw Mother Chen and realized they were here for a pregnancy check-up, he immediately gave an embarrassed smile.

What are you afraid of? Think I'll blame you for getting Qin pregnant? Seeing Ye Shuang's sudden timidness, Mother Chen couldn't help but lightly pat his shoulder.

If she is, then get married early. Don't leave us hanging and worrying about this all day.

Okay, Ye Shuang said with a smile.
