Grandpa thought for a mont and agreed. If Wang Hu, being so cold, asked so embarrassing questions, what if he lost interest in Bai Fanglan? Harmony between husband and wife is crucial, so without much thought, he agreed: "Alright, I understand, don’t worry. It’s not a big deal, I’ll help you with it." Hearing Grandpa’s agreent, Bai Fanglan breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good. I’ve finally been able to live a little better with Wang Hu, I can’t let anyone influence that."
"I understand, focus on taking care of your pregnancy."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Fanglan sighed in relief, not daring to go back to sleep as it would be bad to wake Wang Hu. So she lay on the couch for the entire night, waking up drenched in sweat the next morning.
Wang Hu got up early and bought breakfast—fried dough sticks, soy milk, and so buns—and placed it in front of her on the table. His attitude was exceptionally good.
Bai Fanglan smiled and said, "Thank you. You’re so good to ."
"No need to be polite. You’re the mother of my child, of course I should be good to you." Wang Hu’s smile was calm.
After finishing their al, the two of them went to the hospital together.
Bai Fanglan held onto Wang Hu’s arm, taking one step at a ti forward: "Do you think I’m immature? I can’t do housework well, nor have I taken good care of your parents. I’ve always felt guilty about this. I’m very uncomfortable physically now, but once our child is born, I will definitely fulfill my duty as a wife."
At this mont, she was feeling guilty, so she felt obliged to treat him well.
Wang Hu said, "No, as long as you take good care of the child, I have no other demands."
"Yes, our child will be very healthy and cute," she said with a smile.
Wang Hu felt very uneasy. Is this child really mine? He was really finding it hard to bear.
As Bai Fanglan and Wang Hu queued up and chatted, she remained very enthusiastic, while Wang Hu responded with just a few words.
A nurse ca out: "Next, Bai Fanglan!"
Wang Hu stood up and supported Bai Fanglan as they walked forward, "Let’s go, I’ll take you."
Bai Fanglan smiled, "Thank you for the trouble." Just as they were about to go in, they suddenly heard a voice in the corridor—it was Bai Chuan.
"Are you two here? What a coincidence!" Bai Chuan shook hands with Wang Hu.
Bai Fanglan smiled and said, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
"Well, I’m here to visit a patient," Bai Chuan said, "How about seeing off?"
Wang Hu thought to himself, was this a chance encounter, or did Bai Fanglan plan this to find a way to get rid of ?
Bai Fanglan said, "Grandpa, Wang Hu still needs to accompany for the prenatal check-up."
"It won’t take long, co on Wang Hu, keep company." Bai Chuan patted Wang Hu’s shoulder, said a few more words to Bai Fanglan, and then left.
Wang Hu gave Bai Fanglan a deep look, then left with Bai Chuan.
After they left, Bai Fanglan sighed in relief, feeling like she passed a major hurdle. Although Wang Hu had doubts, there was nothing he could do. This was her last prenatal check-up, and she was determined not to let him accompany her again.
Bai Fanglan went inside, did the examination, and the doctor said the child was developing well.
"Doctor... is there any way I can delay giving birth?"
The doctor was taken aback and laughed, "Most people hope to give birth early, why are you thinking about delaying it?"
"Well... my mother-in-law is superstitious and wishes for a good date." Bai Fanglan looked uneasy as she lied.
"There are indeed so dications, but they only delay by a few days," the doctor refused, "Focus on your pregnancy, don’t worry about the timing. It’s not good for your health."
Bai Fanglan hadn’t had much hope, so she didn’t think much of it. She got up, dressed, and walked out.
Just as she walked out, the doctor’s phone rang—it was Wang Hu calling. Bai Fanglan never dread that today’s doctor was soone he knew!
The woman happened to be the wife of one of his unit’s instructors, who specifically switched shifts to do the examination for Bai Fanglan.
Wang Hu asked, "How is it?"
"I’ve examined her, it should be at least seven and a half months," the doctor replied.
Wang Hu fell silent for a long ti. The female doctor was nervous, "What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, it’s nothing. What did she say?"
"The child is very healthy, and she also asked if there were any dicine to delay the birth; I refused."
Wang Hu clenched his fist but outwardly remained calm. After exchanging pleasantries, he hung up the phone, leaning against the wall—seven and a half months, huh?
He and Bai Fanglan hadn’t done anything during that ti, and during that ti, Bai Fanglan was in Shenzhen. If it were his child, it should only be about six months old. She really deceived him after all!
He smoked a cigarette, letting the smoke curl up around him; his face remained calm, but inside he was raging.
After a long while, Wang Hu went over to find Bai Fanglan, who had been waiting with her pregnant belly for quite so ti.
Seeing Wang Hu co over, Bai Fanglan hurriedly asked, "Where did you go? Did Grandpa just leave?"
"Bai Fanglan," Wang Hu looked at her, "I just asked the doctor. She said your child is over seven months."
Bai Fanglan was shocked, "You... what did you say..."
Wang Hu said, "How much longer are you going to keep lying to ? The last ti we were together was six months ago; it doesn’t match up. This child isn’t mine."
Wang Hu wasn’t one to hide things, so he directly said it, and his words stabbed Bai Fanglan in the heart like a dagger. She trembled all over and lost her voice. It was as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
Tears stread down her face. Bai Fanglan cried, "Wang Hu, listen to ..."
Wang Hu said, "Don’t worry, I won’t spread this matter, but I can’t acknowledge this child. It’s too late to abort a child this far along. When it’s born, let’s divorce, or wait until the child is two."
"No!" Bai Fanglan trembled, "Please don’t divorce , I beg you..."
"It’s decided." Wang Hu supported her and said, "This is non-negotiable. Take good care of the pregnancy, I’m very busy these days, I won’t have much ti for you. Call your grandpa to take you ho or have him co to take care of you."
Bai Fanglan said, "I beg you, please..."
He said, "I don’t bla you for cheating on , was it Yuan Bing? Is what they said true?"
"No, listen to ..." Bai Fanglan reached out to grab his sleeve but withdrew her hand again.
The Wang Hu in front of her was so calm. There was no sign of emotion, but his eyes were cold and frightening.
