With Qi Zheng's help, soon, Li Qin Yao was taken to OB-GYN, and as a VIP, of course, she was given a priority and the check-up result came faster. Once everything was done, the couple held hands as they stared anxiously at the female doctor, who was browsing through the paper.
Zhang Yu Han turned to his wife as he felt her grip on his hand tightened, and her palm was starting to sweat. Looking at his wife's pale face, suddenly, Zhang Yu Han was as nervous as that time he had gathered his courage to ask his wife out.
The rustling of the papers stopped and the doctor, who was in her mid forty looked up with a smile. "Mrs. Zhang? I understand that you came here to get a check-up after an accident?"
"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded.
The doctor laughed. "Don't be too nervous. There's nothing to be afraid about."
Li Qin Yao tried to smile but found that her smile was too stiff.
Seeing her reaction, Doctor Qiao looked at the paper again. "According to this report, Mrs. Zhang, you are around thirty-nine days long."
Li Qin Yao let out a breath that she did not notice she was holding. She leaned back on the chair and looked at the exam result that Doctor Qiao had slid on the table.
She was pregnant!
Her stomach might be flat at the moment, but inside, there was a child belong to her and Zhang Yu Han. She was carrying Zhang Yu Han's child and it felt very surreal.
Subconsciously, her hand rested on her stomach. Her heart was beating furiously against her ribcage and Li Qin Yao found that it was hard to calm down. She was both nervous and excited. She was looking forward to hearing this news and now that the doctor had confirmed that she was indeed expecting, she was at the state of disbelief.
Seeing that his wife did not say anything, Zhang Yu Han turned to the doctor. "Doctor Qiao, you mean to say that my wife is pregnant, right?"
The woman looked at the couple with an amused look on her face. "Yes. That means your wife is pregnant."
Zhang Yu Han turned to look at his wife and then at her flat stomach. Gradually, his gaze softened.
Li Qin Yao suddenly thought about the thing that has been bothering her. "Doctor Qiao, early this morning, I thought that I was having a period."
"Hmm," the doctor looked at the paper again before she checked with Li Qin Yao regarding the bleeding.
"No. It was that one time. When I looked at it again in the afternoon, I did not see any blood again," Li Qin Yao said.
"Spotting is common, especially in the first trimester. There are a few reasons why it happened. Sometimes, it happened after ɨntėrċȯursė or excessive exercise," Doctor Qiao said.
Li Qin Yao was not able to hear the doctor's following words. Her head turned to her husband as she recalled their rigorous exercise in the morning.
Sensing her gaze, Zhang Yu Han turned to his wife with a guilty look on his face.
"As for now, you don't need to worry too much. Because you are still in the first trimester, I would suggest you avoid ɨntėrċȯursė or any other heavy activities," Doctor Qiao continued to speak and gave them a few reminders about what they should or should not do during this pregnancy.
Once they returned to the room, the couple spent their time in each other's embrace. Sitting on the bed in the VIP room, Zhang Yu Han hugged his wife while she rested her head on his ċhėst. Their hands clasped and rested on top of her stomach.
"Qin Yao," he spoke after a long silence between them.
"Hmm?"
He moved to kiss her temple and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I don't know. There are so many things going through my mind right now."
"And? How are you feeling?"
"Surprised. Excited." She sighed. "But, worried if I'm going to be good with this." She frowned.
Zhang Yu Han touched her chin and lifted her face. "Don't worry. We will be alright as long as we have each other." He carefully placed his hands on her stomach again. Right now, he couldn't feel anything, but the thought of his child growing in her stomach made him feel as if his heart was going to burst with happiness.
Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh in relief upon hearing his words. That was right. As long as they have each other, wouldn't they be able to overcome everything?
Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle. "Do you want to know what I think about?"
"What?"
"Since the doctor mentioned that you are thirty-nine days long, do you know what does it means?"
She sat up to look at his face. "What?"
A playful smile curled on his lips and he moved to whisper at her ear, "Qin Yao, it's our honeymoon baby."
Seeing her reddened face, Zhang Yu Han laughed before he wrapped his arms and pulled her back into his embrace. "Alright, stop moving too much. The doctor already reminded me that I cannot bully you too much."
"So, you do realize that you were bullying me."
Zhang Yu Han buried his nose in her hair and inhaled as he enjoyed the silence between them.
Li Qin Yao was playing with his finger when a thought crossed her mind. "Zhang Yu Han," she turned around to look at him again.
Looking at the way she was staring at him with that little sparkle in his wife's eyes, he could not help to lean in and pecked at her lips. "What is it?"
"Which one would you like? A son or a daughter?"
"I don't have a preference. As long as it's a child that belongs to us, of course, I will like him or her."
"You're no fun." Li Qin Yao pouted and turned around. Seconds later, she turned to look at him again, but this time, there was a serious look in her eyes. "Zhang Yu Han… Even when we have a child, you have to promise me something ."
His expression grew alert. "What?"
The serious look in her eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced with her mischievous smile. "That I will always be your priority."
A chuckled escape him. Zhang Yu Han pinched at her nose and said, "What is it, Mrs. Zhang can I take it that you are jealous of your child?"
"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded. She was not embarrassed to admit it.
Zhang Yu Han tilted his head as he looked at her lovingly, "Isn't that supposed to be my role? Then, what happened if I get jealous when you prioritize our child?"
Li Qin Yao only answered him with a giggle.
"You are my wife and soon you will be the mother of my child, of course, you will always be my first. Qin Yao, don't you realized it? You have always been my first in many things."
