Chapter 321 - This News was Too Sudden

Once the doctor left the room, both Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Han turned to look at each other with disbelief look on their faces. For a while, none of them were able to react or say anything.

This news was too sudden, especially to Li Qin Yao as she was still thinking that she had her period this morning. If those were not period, then, what was that? 

Suddenly, various thoughts came to her mind all at once. She tried to think of her menstrual cycle and recalled that she was a week late. Because she was busy as soon as they returned from their honeymoon, Li Qin Yao did not think that she paid any attention to her period.

A realization came to her mind and a glint of light appeared in her eyes.

No. It's still too early for her to be happy. Until she met the doctor and was able to confirm that she was indeed expecting, Li Qin Yao did not want to rejoice over this news. She did not want to get disappointed when the doctor came and told them that they have made a mistake.

Zhang Yu Han shifted his gaze towards the area of her stomach. He wanted to touch her, but suddenly, he was afraid that his touch would hurt her. "Qin Yao, you're pregnant?" There was a mixture of disbelief and happiness in his expression.

Li Qin Yao shook her head. "I don't know."

As he continued to look at his wife, Zhang Yu Han had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Then, he took a deep breath and pulled her body close to him. Once he inhaled her scent, Zhang Yu Han was able to discern that he was not dreaming.

"Zhang Yu Han?"

"Hmm?"

Li Qin Yao pulled away from his embrace. She held his hands and looked at him in the eyes. "Let's not think about this until I got a proper check-up. I—I did not want to get disappointed afterward when the news isn't confirmed yet."

He studied her expression and knew what his wife was afraid of. Zhang Yu Han knew how much his wife was looking forward to having a baby between them and knew how crestfallen she would be if the news was not true. He did not want to see her disappointed…

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu Han tried to calm down. "You're right. Let's get you a proper check-up first." Though he had tried to keep his calm, he could not stop smiling at her. "I'll get someone to arrange for a proper check-up."

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. 

Zhang Yu Han leaned forward to kiss her forehead and helped her to lie down on the pillow. "You should rest first. I'll go and call someone."

Li Qin Yao took a deep breath as she watched him walked over to the door and left. As soon as the door closed, Li Qin Yao lowered her gaze to look at her flat stomach. Though she had told herself and Zhang Yu Han not to get excited too early, Li Qin Yao could not stop that happy feeling that spread through her heart. 

Her hand rested on her stomach, and Li Qin Yao closed her eyes as a slight smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, just as Zhang Yu Han stepped out of the room, he found both Qi Ming Wei and Mister Shen stood outside the door. From the look at their expression, Zhang Yu Han could see that whatever the two were discussing was not something pleasant. 

"How is your wife?" Qi Ming Wei asked as he stepped forward. "What did the doctor said?"

"She's… alright," Zhang Yu Han said. "We need to do another check-up before we can be sure."

Qi Ming Wei's expression changed. "Was it serious?"

"No," Zhang Yu Han paused. Suddenly, the corner of his lips tilted up into a slight smile. "But, the doctor said we should refer to OB-GYN."

Qi Ming Wei's eyes flashed. Hearing the department, he was able to guess what was going on. He pulled out his phone, pressed a number on the speed dial, and placed the phone to his ear. "I'll get Qi Zheng and tell him to send someone to hasten the check-up."

"Thank you." Zhang Yu Han heaved a sigh. He was about to go and find the doctor in charge, but with Qi Zheng's help, he would be able to get the checkup result quicker. Zhang Yu Han stood there as he watched Qi Ming Wei gave Qi Zheng a brief instruction.

"It's done," Qi Ming Wei said. "Qi Zheng will come over and handle things for you. You don't need to worry. This is our territory. We will push your check-up forward and let you get your result as soon as possible." 

Zhang Yu Han nodded. "Please, I hope that you will keep this matter a secret from Grandfather Qi or to my grandfather."

"I got it," Qi Ming Wei nodded. "This is your personal matter. I won't interfere with it. When you're ready, you can tell my Grandfather yourself."

"Thank you." Zhang Yu Han turned to Mister Shen and was suddenly reminded of that his wife has almost met an accident. He could not imagine what will happen if Li Qin Yao was indeed pregnant and was not able to evade that car. Then perhaps… 

Zhang Yu Han simply did not want to imagine what will happen.

"Regarding that driver," Qi Ming Wei spoke. "Fortunately, Mister Shen reacted quick enough to jot down the plate number. I have sent the others to find him, and the man behind the wheels was caught."

Zhang Yu Han's expression turned dark. "Who is it? Was it an accident or premeditated?"

Qi Ming Wei glanced at Mister Shen. Then, he tapped his finger on his phone. "Deng Lei, forty-five years old, a security guard at TEN Mall. According to him, he had finished his shift and was driving back from work. He was drowsy driving when he almost ran into your wife. When he realized what had almost happened, he chose not to stop because he did not want to lose his job."

"Are you sure? Did you check him?"

"Yes," Qi Ming Wei nodded. He knew what Zhang Yu Han was suspicious and worried about. "He had no connection with your wife's cousin or anyone around her."

"How do you want me to handle Deng Lei?"

"Just deal with him as according to law," Zhang Yu Han said. "It was a mistake for him to drive under his condition, but he knew that he had almost hit someone and still chose not to stop. We don't need to go easy with someone like him."
