Even though it was the weekend, the conference room was still packed with people. Chen Qin sat right in the center, leading the discussion. Looking at the reports prepared by her subordinates, she merely nodded slightly, only voicing her opinions when she spotted an issue.
Suddenly, Chen Qin felt a wave of discomfort. An abrupt urge to vomit made her frown slightly, but she managed to control her expression.
It wasn't until the meeting ended and she returned to her office that Chen Qin pinched the bridge of her nose, sitting in her chair with her eyes half-closed to rest.
Seeing this, her assistant noticed Chen Qin's expression and asked, "President Chen, are you feeling unwell?"
"Maybe I've just been too tired lately," Chen Qin said softly. "Arrange for the private doctor to come up."
"Understood."
After the assistant left, Chen Qin checked the time on her phone and then sent a message to Ye Shuang.
Chen Qin: Ye, what are you doing?
...
Ye Shuang: I went to the amusement park with Yu You. Is your meeting over?
Chen Qin: Just finished, so I'm resting now~
Chen Qin: One Two Bubu Kisses.jpg
Chen Qin: I want to go play too.
Ye Shuang: Let's find a time when you're off, and I'll take you out for a walk?
Chen Qin: Okay.
Chen Qin looked at her phone and eventually placed it slowly on the desk. She rubbed her aching temples. Just then, her assistant walked in with two private doctors pushing medical equipment.
"Hello, President Chen."
"Mhm, help me do a check-up. I'm feeling a bit nauseous." Chen Qin extended her arm, and the private doctors immediately began measuring her blood pressure and other vitals. About ten minutes later, one of the private doctors checked her pulse for a while before seeming to realize something. He then exchanged a glance with the other doctor beside him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qin noticed the doctor's expression.
"This might be a bit private. Do you want your assistant to stay here?" the doctor asked.
"Little Li." Chen Qin waved her hand, and the assistant nodded and withdrew, "Understood, President Chen."
Once the office quieted down, Chen Qin rubbed her temples and spoke.
"Tell me, doctor, what's wrong with my body?"
"President Chen, how long has it been since your last period?" the doctor suddenly asked.
"Um... it's been a while." Chen Qin shook her head. The next second, her beautiful eyes slowly widened, as if sparkling with stars. "What?"
"Yes, based on our preliminary pulse diagnosis, you are pregnant."
The doctor stated.
Hearing these words, Chen Qin sat motionless in her chair, as if in a daze.
"If you don't want this child..." The doctor assumed Chen Qin had gotten pregnant by accident. "It's better to abort it as early as possible, otherwise it will cause great harm to your body."
"Why wouldn't I want it?!"
"Uh." Seeing Chen Qin suddenly get agitated, the doctor was momentarily stunned.
After all, seeing her space out, she had looked quite upset.
However, the doctor didn't dare to say anything more and simply sat there quietly.
"Are you sure about this?" Chen Qin asked. "I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing."
Hearing this, the doctor nodded. "President Chen, we have been in practice for twenty years. You can rest assured on this point."
"You must not leak a word about this." Suppressing her inner emotions, Chen Qin said this and then called her assistant back in.
"Little Li, drive me to the hospital!"
"Right now? But later you still have..."
"Cancel them, cancel everything!"
"Understood."
The Hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, even though Chen Qin wanted to just run straight in, the thought that she might have a baby in her belly made her try her best to keep her body steady, opting to walk briskly through the hospital doors instead.
"Hello, Miss Chen." At the entrance of the private hospital, several nurses were already waiting early.
Chen Qin took a deep breath. "Help me run the tests now."
"Right away."
The biggest advantage of a private hospital was not needing to run around for check-ups or wait in line. Chen Qin stayed on the bed in her consultation room, and soon a nurse pushed the equipment over to draw her blood.
"How long will it take to get the results?" Chen Qin asked as she extended her arm for the nurse to draw blood.
"Miss Chen, it takes about two hours for the blood HCG test to yield accurate results," the nurse replied with a smile. "Please wait patiently."
"Patience, yes, patience. I need to be patient. Wu wu wu, I can't wait anymore." After the nurse left, Chen Qin hugged her pillow and started whining softly. She desperately wanted to know the results. Even though those two private doctors said she was pregnant, to avoid her hopes being dashed, Chen Qin still wanted to have a blood test done with the equipment to truly set her mind at ease.
Chen Qin held her phone, looking around, and then started searching for early pregnancy symptoms. When she read that she needed to maintain a good mood, she suddenly began trying hard to calm herself down.
By the time her energy was exhausted, Chen Qin suddenly started worrying about gains and losses again.
"It would be great if Ye was here," Chen Qin couldn't help but think while hugging the pillow. But he seemed to be accompanying Yu You to the amusement park today.
"Ye can't come. What if it's a misdiagnosis?"
Chen Qin thought back to previous events. She was also a bit afraid that Ye Shuang would find out about her difficulties in conceiving.
Inevitably, she started feeling insecure.
At this moment, Chen Qin touched her lower abdomen. "Be strong."
After two anxious hours, the nurse pushed open the door holding the report.
"Miss Chen, congratulations, you are one month pregnant."
"Really?" Chen Qin took the report. She could no longer control the smile on her face, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at the information on it.
"Yes, you are pregnant." The nurse continued,
"The early stages of pregnancy are still quite delicate. Please avoid intimacy with your husband, maintain a light diet, do not overwork or stay up late, and avoid dyeing your hair..." The nurse listed a whole bunch of things, but Chen Qin didn't hear a word of it. She just stared blankly at the report in her hands.
It wasn't until tears slid down her cheeks that Chen Qin finally snapped back to reality, covering her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.
Seeing that Chen Qin had actually started crying, the nurse tactfully smiled and said, "If you need anything else, you can call me."
With that, the nurse left the room.
Chen Qin sat on the bed for over half an hour before fully digesting the news. Leaning against the headboard, she picked up her phone.
After lighting up the screen, a photo of her and Ye Shuang appeared.
"Ye, it's a baby, our baby," Chen Qin said softly, wanting to tell him the news right away.
However...
What if she miscarried?
Chen Qin's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
No, no one can take my baby away.
Chen Qin's eyes grew a bit more resolute, and she dialed Ye Shuang's number.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
