"Ruan Ruan, listen to , why don’t we go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"
It’s her first pregnancy, and he’s really worried.
It’s more reassuring to have a check-up.
Su Ruan pondered for two seconds, and finally nodded.
"Then we co back right after the check-up."
"Okay." Lu Shinian quickly replied, hugged her as they lay down, gently patting her back, coaxing her to sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day, as dusk approached, Su Ruan and Lu Shinian arrived in front of the Stargate.
Black Eagle said nearby, "The Stargate closes in three days, make sure you arrive on ti before it closes."
"Otherwise, the next ti it opens will be next year."
Su Ruan nodded, understanding Black Eagle’s concern, and smiled, "I’m just going for a quick check-up, I’ll be back soon."
Black Eagle nodded firmly, "I believe you."
Dusk was near, and the large, stone gate was unfolding like a vortex.
Su Ruan took Lu Shinian’s hand and walked toward the vortex.
A white light swallowed her and his body, and in an instant, they disappeared into the Stargate.
Su Ruan only felt a dizzying sensation, and when she snapped back to reality, she was already standing on a piece of land.
The pitch-black soil was hard and cold, yet it gave her a sense of solidity.
Not far away, high walls stood tall, with lights flickering.
It looked like the human world.
Su Ruan instinctively grasped Lu Shinian’s large hand beside her, her voice tinged with nervousness.
"Did we arrive in the Empire?"
"Yes." Lu Shinian calmly replied.
Taking advantage of the night, he led her toward the city.
The city gate was guarded, and seeing the two of them still outside at midnight, they frowned in disapproval and said, "Why are you still outside?"
"Don’t you know it’s dangerous outside at night?"
"Exotic Beasts might attack these days. Even if you want adventure for the baby, don’t go out at night."
To conceive, the Imperial people tried all sorts of thods.
Not long ago, so so-called expert ca out and said if you want to get pregnant, you should seek excitent during marital relations, and the more thrilling, the better. So recently, many have been going outside for this.
The guards were not surprised anymore but still thought it too dangerous at night.
The guard waved, "Alright, go in. Rember to co back early next ti."
Su Ruan agreed repeatedly, thanked them, and pulled Lu Shinian into the city.
The city was brightly lit, but every household’s doors were tightly shut, and there weren’t any entertainnt venues, completely different from the Federation’s nightlife.
But this was convenient for Su Ruan and Lu Shinian.
With few people around, they wouldn’t attract much attention; they just needed to rush to the hospital for a check-up and return to Wood Peach Star before dawn.
Half an hour later, Su Ruan and Lu Shinian arrived at the hospital.
The hospital wasn’t crowded.
The Empire’s dical industry was advanced; unless you were on your last breath, a household dical Pod could address most needs.
Of course, this only applied to superficial injuries.
When it ca to Companion Beasts and matters involving spiritual power, sending them to the hospital wouldn’t help.
Given these circumstances, the doctors and nurses in the hospital were actually quite free.
As soon as Su Ruan and Lu Shinian entered the hospital, they were warmly received by the nurses.
"May I ask what illness you two are here for?"
The nurse looked kindly and warmly at the two, "Whatever the illness, please first co over here for identity registration."
Su Ruan tightened her hold on Lu Shinian’s large hand.
Identity registration?
Both she and Lu Shinian were from the Federation, and they didn’t have Imperial identities.
Before Su Ruan could speak, Lu Shinian took the lead and said, "My wife is pregnant, we’d like to have a comprehensive check-up."
The nurse’s body stiffened, looking at Lu Shinian in disbelief, even her voice slowed down.
"What did you say?"
She thought she was hearing things.
"Pregnant?"
Lu Shinian responded, "Yes, pregnant."
"I believe there should be comprehensive system checks available in such a large hospital, shouldn’t there?"
There was no way this large hospital wouldn’t have a comprehensive system check.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The nurse exclaid repeatedly, her expression excited yet involuntarily stern, causing her face to appear sowhat distorted.
"May I ask this lady, are you sure you’re pregnant?"
This indeed stumped Su Ruan.
But Lu Shinian beside her nonchalantly said, "If we’re certain about everything, why would we co to the hospital?"
The nurse thought for a mont, and that indeed made sense.
She couldn’t help but look at Su Ruan’s slightly protruding belly, which indeed resembled the signs of early pregnancy described in textbooks.
Just thinking about the possibility of pregnancy made the nurse unable to contain her excitent, she imdiately pressed the ergency button nearby and shouted, "Soone’s pregnant!"
The alarm sounded in the hospital, and the already small number of doctors and nurses hurried over, just in ti to hear the nurse’s shout, which made them unable to hold back.
"Pregnant? Who’s pregnant?"
"In my lifeti, I actually get to see soone pregnant! Oh my God, this shift is so worth it!"
"Where’s the expectant mother, where is she? Let see quickly!"
"Go get a bed quickly! What are you all standing there for?"
"Quick, quick, quick! Turn on all our hospital’s examination equipnt for ! I’m personally doing this check-up!"
......
The scene was a chaotic ss, and no one ntioned the identity registration for Su Ruan and Lu Shinian again.
Half an hour later, the hospital director looked at Su Ruan with an excited face; if it weren’t for Lu Shinian protecting her, he would have directly held her hand.
"You’re really pregnant!"
The director’s old tears flowed freely, he couldn’t help wiping away a tear.
"Two months along already!"
Su Ruan: ...
This director’s excitent made her feel like it’s not her but him who is pregnant.
Although she vaguely knew the Empire’s birth rate was low, it shouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?
During the examination, those nurse ladies were gentle enough to almost treat her like a child.
She didn’t think she was that fragile.
Su Ruan blinked and smiled, "Thank you."
Then she asked, "Doctor, everything else should be fine, right?"
"No problem!" The director loudly replied, "But you need to eat more, ensure balanced nutrition, and don’t be picky with food."
"It’s best not to have Nutritional Supplents anymore, eat more natural fruits and vegetables."
"By the way, if you don’t know how to cook, let do it!"
The director’s eyes lit up, "This way, I can also keep an eye on the baby’s condition at any ti!"
Just thinking about personally witnessing the baby’s growth made the director eager to move into the couple’s ho imdiately to start cooking.
"And I’m very good at cooking!" The director proudly volunteered, almost singing praises of his cooking skills.
Su Ruan: ...
That’s not necessary.
