At this moment, Wen Xinya’s head was dizzy from joy from the news of her pregnancy. She hugged Si Yiyan and could not stop smiling like a fool, all the while saying things like “I’m pregnant”.
She gently caressed her belly. Inside was a miraculous little life growing in her which was the product of the love between Si Yiyan and her. The thought of their future, their unbreakable bond, and the anticipation that coursed through her veins brought hot, emotional tears to her eyes.
Si Yiyan looked down at her, who was smiling sweetly. She was beautiful and gorgeous and exuded an air of gentleness. There was such a poison called “grace” in this world. It invaded one’s lungs, merged with one’s blood, penetrated one’s bones, and was incurable.
“Yan, what did the doctor say? Is our child healthy? My body’s been weak recently, will it affect our baby?” The initial joy and excitement had passed over. Now, Wen Xinya was more concerned with the health of the baby in her belly.
It was already hard for her to get pregnant. During this period, she also had not been resting well due to her busy work. On top of that, she had been terribly upset because of Si Yiyan and was also worrying over her low fertility rate. She had been gloomy and lethargic and clearly felt that her body had weakened significantly.
Thinking about this, she started to panic.
She began to blame herself for being so careless. Why did she not go for a hospital check-up earlier despite feeling unwell?
Si Yiyan could tell that she was panicking. He held her cold, damp hands and consoled her. “Don’t worry. The doctor said that one’s body reactions are greater during the early stages of pregnancy, which is why your body is weaker. We just have to take good care of your body and the child will not be affected much.”
Actually, he did not reveal the complete truth.
Xinya’s body was too weak. Even before she fainted, her body was not looking good. The doctor said that her pregnancy was not stable, and there was a possibility of miscarriage. Luckily, she was sent to the hospital before it was too late and was able to keep her baby for now. However, her pregnancy was still in a precarious stage.
The doctor even suggested for them to abort the baby since Xinya’s body was simply too weak to carry a baby.
He had sat alone in the hospital corridors for a long, long time to come to a decision. Even when facing the life or death situation of Lucifer, or when his life was at risk, he was able to remain calm and decisive. But now, he was stuck in a dilemma and could not make a decision. It was the first time in his life that he was hesitating at making a difficult choice.
Truthfully, for Xinya’s health, he was leaning towards the doctor’s suggestion of aborting the baby.
However, if they had to really do this, how should he break the news to Xinya? And just how much despair and pain would she feel after learning about this?
They might not have another chance to bear a child ever again after losing this baby. This child would then become Xinya’s greatest regret, and her desire to have a baby would never be fulfilled.
He could not risk it.
Finally, he made the difficult decision to keep this child at any cost.
Wen Xinya finally let go of her anxiety and said happily, “That’s great!”
Si Yiyan gently stroked her back and consoled her. “Don’t think too much. The doctor said that you have to maintain a good mood and mental state, as well as take care of your body. Only when the mother is healthy can the fetus absorb sufficient nutrients and grow healthily.”
Although he did not know if this baby could be born successfully, he was willing to work hard together with her and give it his all.
There were still some doubts in Wen Xinya’s heart, but she said with determination, “I will definitely protect my body and let this baby be born safely and healthily.”
She lowered her head and patted her belly. There was a hope for life budding in her heart, and her entire being felt touched. The hidden maternal radiance in the hearts of all women was shining brightly from her at this moment.
Si Yiyan looked at her delicate and beautiful face and felt overjoyed that he made the right choice. “Our baby will definitely be safe.”
Wen Xinya leaned into Si Yiyan’s embrace. His clear and elegant breaths surrounded her, completely dissipating all the restlessness, worry, unease, unhappiness, and sensitivity she felt during this period in an instant. She finally felt at ease.
Then, as if something came into her mind, Wen Xinya asked, “Yan, you’re not lying to me, right? Am I really pregnant? Previously, Ruoruo clearly said that I have yin deficiency when she checked my pulse. Ruoruo is highly skilled in medicine, there’s no way she couldn’t tell I was pregnant!”
Not long after the cold war between her and Si Yiyan started, Du Ruo checked her pulse during their gathering.
In all these years, Du Ruo obtained great achievements in the medical field and was known as a master. Her research might lean towards maintaining the health of one’s body, but this was a much harder feat than curing an illness. Naturally, she was highly skilled.
Si Yiyan found her fluctuating emotions and suspicions pretty funny. “It was probably still too early back then, which was why she couldn’t tell.”
When it came to checking one’s pulse in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it was rather particular. Pregnancy was not the only thing that could cause a slippery pulse. There could be other factors that might be hard to tell. A Traditional Chinese Medicine Master would have to rely on his own experience to make a diagnosis.
However, this was not enough to convince Wen Xinya. “For a normal doctor, it could be hard to tell if the pregnancy was still too early in the stages. However, Ruoruo’s medical skills were passed down from Grandpa Du. They have a special way of checking one’s pulse that cannot be compared with. There’s no way she could have missed this.”
Her initial joy from her pregnancy was now replaced by her fear of loss. Wen Xinya was starting to suspect if the diagnosis was wrong, or if Si Yiyan was lying to her just to comfort her.
Although she knew that these were not that possible, she could not help but think that way.
Si Yiyan could tell she was feeling uneasy and said in annoyance, “You fool, why would I lie to you about such an important thing? I’ve already called Old Mr. Du and he’ll be reaching here soon. He can help you check your pulse once again then.”
While Western medicine had its own advantage, Traditional Chinese Medicine had its own benefits as well. He had full knowledge of the magic of Traditional Chinese Medicine because of his old illness. As such, the moment the hospital said that Xinya was pregnant and her body condition was poor, he called Old Mr. Du to come over.
Western Medicine was indeed well developed and successful. However, when it came to nourishing one’s health, Traditional Chinese Medicine was better.
In the past, Mo Yunyao had a difficult pregnancy. It was all due to Old Mr. Du’s care that she managed to keep Xinya.
Compared to the hospital, he had more trust in Old Mr. Du’s reputation as a master.
“I feel like I’m in a dream. I can’t take this all in at once.”
Wen Xinya knew that Si Yiyan would not lie to her about such things. In fact, in all the years they were together, he had never lied to her. Of course, he was merely concealing the fact that her pregnancy rate was low, and it could not be counted as a lie.
Si Yiyan gently rubbed her belly and smiled. “You’re such a fool.”
He could not help but dote on her!
