The next day, Shu Pan took the day off early and went to pick up Ye Xiaomeng. When she saw Xiaomeng, she noticed a faint hint of dark circles under her eyes.
âXiaomeng, were you so excited last night that you couldnât sleep?â Shu Pan teased.
âItâs nerves, worrying about everything,â Ye Xiaomeng replied with a worried look.
âYou always tend to overthink things,â Shu Pan said helplessly, though she understood Xiaomengâs concerns.
At the hospital, despite arriving early, it was already crowded. Shu Pan asked Xiaomeng to sit down while she went to get her an appointment with a specialist.
As Xiaomeng looked around, she saw pregnant women everywhere, their faces radiating happiness. She couldnât help but smile; if she were truly pregnant, her smile might be even brighter than theirs.
After some effort, Shu Pan managed to secure an appointment, but they still had to wait their turn.
âGirl, what am I going to do? Iâm so nervous. Do you think something bad might happen?â Xiaomengâs mind was in turmoil.
âNothing will happen, everything will be fine,â Shu Pan reassured her quickly.
Xiaomeng was truly anxious. Last night, she had been alternating between laughter and seriousness, leaving He Ming puzzled. He had asked her about it, but she just shook her head and said, âItâs nothing.â
She had almost told He Ming at one point but ultimately decided against it, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Unconsciously, she placed her hand on her belly and silently thought,
âMommyâs little angel, are you really here?â
âNumber 12, Ye Xiaomeng,â the system called out just as Xiaomeng was lost in thought.
Shu Pan heard it and came over to support her.
Xiaomeng couldnât help but feel a little exasperated. âGirl, you donât need to be nervous either. I can walk by myself; my belly is flat. If you come over to help me, people will laugh.â
Shu Pan glanced at her with a touch of annoyance. âI couldnât care less about what people think.â
Inside, Xiaomeng asked the doctor, âDoctor, my period is late, and Iâve been
experiencing nausea and chest tightness. Iâd like to check if Iâm pregnant.â
The kind elderly doctor replied, âAlright, Iâll write a prescription for you to get a urine test and a blood test.â
With that, the doctor handed Xiaomeng the prescription.
Ye Xiaomeng took the prescription somewhat nervously and went to do the tests as instructed by the doctor.
With Shu Panâs help nearby, the tests went by quickly.
However, the wait for the results was agonizing.
Ye Xiaomeng tightly held Shu Panâs hand, feeling her palms become sweaty.
Unconsciously, more than half an hour passed, and Ye Xiaomeng tremblingly approached the lab window to collect the results.
As soon as she received them, she eagerly looked at them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Instantly, her eyes slowly turned red, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. It was true; she had finally waited for her baby.
No one could understand the excitement and joy in her heart. This was the moment she had longed for.
Now she could face He Ming; he was going to be a dad. That fool should be ecstatic beyond words.
Seeing Ye Xiaomengâs reaction, Shu Pan also guessed the outcome, and she couldnât help but be moved to tears.
This was wonderful; with a child on the way, everything would fall into place.
The two of them showed the results to the doctor.
âCongratulations, youâre pregnant. The values all appear normal now. Just make sure to come back for your prenatal checkups on time,â the doctor said with a smile, knowing from their expressions that they had been eagerly anticipating this news.
âThank you, doctor.â Even though they already knew the results, hearing it from a medical professional made all the difference..
