Chapter 107 – [She] even planned out which kindergarten her grandchild would attend! (3)
Lu Beichuan’s eyes sunk. He seed as if he was going to kiss her again.
Ye Zhen hastily surrendered. “Hubby, hubby, hubby. Happy?!”
Having heard what he wanted, Lu Beichuan curved his lips into a satisfied smile. He gently kissed Ye Zhen’s forehead. “I’m off to work.”
Right after these words were said, Mrs. Lu ca downstairs. “Ye Zhen ah, I changed my mind. Let’s go to the hospital for an examination later. I would feel more assured with a check up done at the hospital. The doctors wouldn’t be able to bring all the dical equipnt that would be available at a hospital. Are you hungry or cold? Do you want to go back to your room to rest?”
Lu Beichuan straightened his body and his suit jacket, then he quickly strode out of the Lu villa’s main doors.

Around 2PM, Ye Zhen arrived at a hospital’s departnt of gynecology and obstetric. Mrs. Lu had accompanied her here. The director of the departnt of gynecology and obstetric would be in charge of Ye Zhen’s examination. This doctor was well-known and had a reputation for being the best in the field. This first thing the doctor did was conduct a thorough examination of Ye Zhen.
There were no irregular results from the various general physical examinations as well as pregnancy specific ones. As part of the usual check up routine, the doctor asked Ye Zhen about her eating habits as well as how her body felt normally.
Once the examination was concluded and Ye Zhen was given a clean bill of health, she went to the car while Mother Lu stayed to ask the doctor additional questions.
“Mrs. Lu, there’s nothing for you to worry about. Your daughter-in-law and her baby are very healthy. However, pregnant won have to pay extra attention to their diet and exercise in the early months of the pregnancy. I would suggest that she co here every week to get a check up. This is a detailed list of items that pregnant won need to pay special attention too. If there are any other issues, you can contact .” The doctor handed the docunts to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu took the docunts. “Thank you so much, Doctor Chen.”
“You’re welco.”
After thinking it over, Mrs. Lu asked a question. “How long has Ye Zhen been pregnant?”
“She looks to be about a month pregnant.”
“A month...” Mrs. Lu mumbled these words aloud as she mulled over this information. “Oh, I see. That will do for today. Goodbye.”
“Take care.”

Inside the car, Ye Zhen was holding the thermos cup and sipping the nourishing soup that Mrs. Lu had cooked for her. Although she didn’t know the exact ingredients in the soup, she felt warm after drinking it. It felt quite comfortable.
“Ye Zhen ah, when did you find out you were pregnant?”
Ye Zhen paused. “A few days ago.”
“A few days ago? Beichuan also found out a few days ago?”
Ye Zhen nodded.
Mrs. Lu sighed. “Oh, you kids. Why didn’t you tell earlier? This is such an important thing. If you two had told earlier, I would have prevented yesterday’s circus of a wedding. There were so many people coming and going at the wedding. What if soone had bumped into you or knocked you over?”
“Mom... It’s okay. It’s only been a month. Nothing bad would happen.”
“That’s because you two were lucky! If sothing had happened, how much regret would you two be feeling right now?! If I had found out that you were pregnant earlier, I wouldn’t have agreed to the wedding!”
Ye Zhen didn’t dare to speak.
However, she didn’t agree with Mother Lu’s logic. After all, she was only one month pregnant. There were won that still went to work when they were five to six months pregnant. Ye Zhen didn’t feel she was anymore precious than other won.
“Do you feel like I’m making a big fuss over a minor issue?”
Ye Zhen looked troubled and embarrassed.
“Mom is soone that has experienced pregnancy. I know how hard pregnancy is for won and how dangerous it can be. Back then, I felt the sa way as you. I thought I didn’t have to be careful when I was in my first trister. But once sothing happens, you can’t go back. If it wasn’t for my negligence, my first baby might not have...” Mother Lu choked up as she ntioned the past.
“Mom, your first... your first baby?”
“My first baby, when I think about it now...” Mother Lu forced herself to smile. “But that’s in the past. I had Beichuan... and I got better. So don’t bla mom for being too fussy. It’s only because I hope that your baby will smoothly and peacefully be born into this world.”
