âReally?â Bai Susu narrowed her eyes as she looked at Ye Fan.
Pfft, this guy, does he really think I donât understand him?
Bai Susu felt somewhat helpless, but it wasnât a big deal. If Ye Fan didnât tell her, she wouldnât fuss about it. Persistently asking wasnât in her nature.
Besides, she was just a bit curious, nothing more.
âOf course, hehe, wife, itâs getting late, shouldnât we go to bed?â Ye Fan asked.
He was already tired.
He had been drained all day, his nerves constantly on edge. So, he had been exhausted for some time now.
Bai Susu could tell that Ye Fan was tired, so she stopped teasing him.
âLetâs sleep, Iâm sleepy too!â Bai Susu said, yawning.
~~~~~
One month later
âUgh~~ Ugh~~â
âSusu, whatâs wrong with you? Youâve been vomiting these past couple of days,â Mother Ye said with concern as she looked at Bai Susu, gently patting the back of her hand.
This girl, did she eat something bad?
But then, no one else had any problems.
âI donât know, maybe itâs just an upset stomach.â Bai Susu pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then spoke.
Her voice sounded weak and meaningful.
There was no helping it; today she had vomited eight times already.
She didnât know what was going on.
âThatâs not right. Oh, thatâs it, Susu, has your period come?â Mother Ye suddenly brightened up and immediately asked.
What if she was pregnant!
If it was true, it would be wonderful news.
Haha, their granddaughter was already over three years old. It would be nice to have another baby.
But then, it would mean more hard work for Bai Susu.
Pregnancy and giving birth are big deals for women.
They arenât something to take lightly.
âMom, donât even mention it; Iâve been so busy this month. By my calculations, my period is already over ten days late. Could it be that Iâm really pregnant?â Bai Susuâs somewhat pale face froze immediately.
No way, was she really pregnant?
Just recently, they had been discussing having a second child, and now it seemed to have happened just like that?
Isnât this too quick?
Bai Susu was caught off guard.
What to do?
Although she had been pregnant before, during her previous pregnancy, she hadnât had such strong reactions. She ate and drank normally, but with this second one, why the continual vomiting?
Bai Susu began to doubt.
Was it a stomach issue, or was she indeed pregnant?
Truth be told, after giving birth to Ye Bing and the rest, her periods had become quite irregular, often early or late. So she hadnât paid it much mind before.
But this timeâ¦
âSusu, you are pregnant, haha! Iâm going to have another precious granddaughter or grandson, how wonderful!â Mother Ye instantly said with joy.
Really, she couldnât express how happy she was.
Life was good now, being able to hold her own grandchildren made her very happy.
âMom, Iâm not sure yet, I need to go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid getting everyoneâs hopes up for nothing,â Bai Susu said.
A hospital visit was necessary to confirm it.
If she told her family now and then her period arrived later, wouldnât it be awkward?
So, Bai Susu thought it best to wait for the results before informing everyone.
âAlright, alright, letâs go to the hospital in a bit. Calling the family doctor might not be convenient,â Mother Ye said.
They had a family doctor who regularly came to check on their health, something Ye Fan had arranged out of concern for them.
Typically, a phone call was all it took for a visit.
However, with Bai Susuâs current situation, Mother Ye felt that a hospital visit was more reliable.
Thinking Bai Susu wouldnât be safe on her own, she insisted on accompanying her daughter-in-law to feel at ease.
Anyway, in Mother Yeâs eyes, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that she was pregnant.
Still, a hospital check was necessary; Bai Susuâs caution made sense.
When Bai Susu heard this, she was a bit surprised. Go now?
That seemed a bit sudden.
She had been planning to visit in a couple of days.
But Mother Ye had decided they should go immediately.
Bai Susu knew Mother Ye was decisive, so she didnât say anything and simply nodded in agreement.
Initially, she didnât want to bother her mother with this minor check-up; she could have handled it herself.
But Mother Ye, concerned for Bai Susu, still accompanied her.
In the hospital~~
Bai Susu and Mother Ye sat on the bench, waiting for their turn.
Luckily, it wasnât too crowded today. They were called in soon.
âNumber 24, Bai Susu,â the nurse called out as she came out.
Bai Susu and Mother Ye immediately got up.
âMom, wait here for me, it wonât take long,â Bai Susu said and then went in.
She had done this check before, so she knew the results would come quickly.
Outside, Mother Ye anxiously waited.
Despite it being a simple check, she couldnât help feeling worried.
She was nervous inside.
Soon enough, Bai Susu came out holding a result slip.
âHow did it go, Susu?â Mother Ye asked.
âMom, itâs true, Iâm pregnant,â Bai Susu said with a laugh, her eyes curving happily, brimming with delight.
She found it astonishing.
Only a month earlier, they were still talking about wanting a second child.
And to think, in just a month, here it was.
