Chapter 343 - Failed Prenancy Test

Andrea did not think much about it. The couple considered the possibility, but because it still rained in the morning, they had planned to go to the resort clinic in the afternoon. 

In her past pregnancy, she showed symptoms after a month of conceiving. She thought if she was not pregnant days after her first pregnancy test, how can she have morning sickness already?

The skies had cleared before the middle of the day and they all went for lunch at the main restaurant. Andrea missed her cheese that she ordered a platter. 

"Andy likes cheese," Hanxi explained to Isabella as they ordered their meals. 

Isabella smiled at Andrea saying, "Who doesn't like cheese? One would be missing half of their lives?!"

Andrea and Hanxi ended up chuckling while Lu Fang's face turned into a frown. He said, "What is so funny? I already like cheese!"

"So, Bro, what's the plan after going to Italy?" Andrea asked while trying to change the topic, addressing her question to Hanxi.

Hanxi and Isabella looked at each other before giving Andrea a reply, "I will be meeting Bella's relatives on her father's birthday." He turned to Andrea, adding, "I'm a bit nervous, to be honest."

"Don't be. Besides, you have already met Bella's parents," Andrea said. 

"That's right, my mother especially likes Hanxi," Isabella added. "My dad only had a chance to speak with Hanxi once, so he still keeps asking about him, but Matteo does a good job at selling him to dad."

Isabella rubbed Matteo's head before adding, "Right Matteo?"

"I'm not sure what you mean, mom. I just talk about how uncle Hanxi helps me with my homework," replied the little boy as he played with his phone. 

Andrea and Lu Fang were all smiling at what Isabella had shared. The truth was, they were worried about how Hanxi would be received. They did not know much about Isabella's parents. 

The other night, Li Wen called Andrea to inform her that someone had been trying to find out about Hanxi and the IP address of which the search came from was in Italy. They did not have much information for now, but they immediately assumed it was from Isabella's side. They could only hope it was merely for the purpose of finding out about his background. 

Looking at Isabella, Andrea knew she had no idea about it. Besides, she should already knows everything about Hanxi, except having turned into a secret agent under her care and his achieved vengeance. 

The children's meals were served first and Andrea's platter of cheese. She was so excited to have a bite, already eyeing on the big slice of blue cheese in the center of the plate. Of course, there were also two of her other favorite cheese, Brie and Chevre. 

"Babe, give me a slice of each," requested Andrea. 

The man did as requested and after taking a portion of each kind; he returned his wife's place in front of her. 

Strangely, Andrea thought the cheese did not smell good at all. She instantly heaved that she covered her mouth and her eyes scanned the nearest place where she could throw up. 

She ran to the beach instead as she was not sure how long she could hold it. 

Lu Fang came after her and helped her let it out. As his wife was throwing up in front of the beach, he called for the restaurant staff to clean up the mess afterward. 

"You may really be pregnant, babe. If you don't feel like eating, let's just go the clinic," said the man while wiping Andrea's mouth with his handkerchief. 

Andrea merely nodded, saying, "Yeah. It's too disgusting to eat now."

The man called a buggy as they head towards the clinic. As soon as they arrived; they took a box of pregnancy test and have Andrea try one. The doctor on the island was a general doctor and a male. Andrea knew there was no chance Lu Fang would let the good doctor check on her cervix. Thankfully, a pregnancy test was readily available. 

Andrea went to the bathroom and caught her urine. She placed two to three drops of her fluid on the pregnancy test and waited with her eyes closed. 

"Everything fine, babe?" Asked Lu Fang after knocking on the door. 

"Ahhh! Babe, babe!" Andrea screamed before opening the door. She showed the pregnancy test excitedly to Lu Fang and added, "Babe, I'm pregnant. See?"

The man smiled while holding back his tears. He was relieved that finally, his wife was already out of danger. He hugged Andrea after seeing the test, saying, "I knew it. I knew you were pregnant. I mean how could you not be pregnant?"

"Maybe the last test did not catch it yet? Or maybe I got pregnant shortly after that?" Andrea asked herself. She had a lot of questions in her mind, but she knew the best way to get their queries answered was to return home immediately. 

Andrea took a second test and a third test just to be sure, and the results were all positive. After being convinced that they were already pregnant, Lu Fang was already on the phone, contacting their pilot to get ready. They would return to China the next day. There was no need for them to stay longer. 

They immediately shared the news with Isabella and Hanxi after returning to the restaurant. 

"This is good news, sis! This calls for a celebration!" Hanxi said. 

Lu Fang nodded, saying, "Let's have a feast at the villa. We'll have the kitchen prepare roasted calf!"

"Let's also have pizza and wine!" Isabella suggested. 

"Well, I'd like some seafood; shrimps and oysters! Yum!" Hanxi added. 

Seeing the excitement from the adult's faces, Matteo also had his request, "Chicken!"

Chevre absolutely loved chicken. It was his first pure solid food that he easily ate. hearing Matteo cry out for it, he said, "Ticken! Ticken!"

Their party gave out giggles and adoration over cute Chevre but Lu Fang ended up scolding Xing Mi saying, "There is a need to teach him how to say chicken. "

They all turned to Andrea as if checking with her if she wanted anything special. "Errrnnn…" She pondered for a second, thinking about what she could easily stomach during pregnancy. Soon she frowned saying, "I guess... I want ramen?"

While their party was rejoicing in the Maldives, Arti and Bolin took a half day from work to visit the doctor. After Arti's check-up, they learned that she was not pregnant. 

They were both sitting on the waiting area quietly after learning of the news. Arti felt ashamed. At home, she was already bossing her tiger around, thinking that she was pregnant. She had even told her parents that she was getting married soon. 

Bolin saw Arti's sad face. He pulled out her hand and said, "Pickle, it happens sometimes. Like the doctor said, it can happen. Maybe you bought an old pregnancy test."

"Maybe," replied Arti as she pouted her lips. "But why do I feel like there is a conspiracy somewhere?"

"Pffft! Why would you think that?" asked Bolin as he tried to hold down his laughter. 

"Secretary Su has been regularly passing through our tables almost every two to three hours. She might have messed with the pregnancy test or exchanged it with a dysfunctional one, all for the purpose of probably breaking us apart!" Arti announced, determined to pin down the failed pregnancy test to her rival. 

"That is absurd, Pickle and you know it. Look, if you really want a baby, why don't we make one?" Offered Bolin excitedly. 

Arti suddenly stood up and with fierce eyes, she gazed down at Bolin saying, "Let's go. Let's go and make a baby. Now."
