Chapter 189: If This Was Not Yan Beicheng, She Would Have Kicked Him Out With a Broom!

Yan Beicheng was shocked at these words. If the doctor was not a woman, he would have grabbed her by the collar.

“Why would she need a blood test? Why is it so serious? What’s wrong with her?” Yan Beicheng’s eyes were red, making him look like he was ready to murder someone.

Even if she knew who Yan Beicheng was, and even if the security team at Chu Tian hospital was adequately trained, the doctor could not help feeling a little afraid at the moment.

“You don’t need to be so agitated, it’s just a normal check-up,” the doctor had a good guess about what it was, but the principles of her profession did not allow her to reveal this guess to the patient without any evidence. What if she was wrong?

“Is a blood test part of a normal check-up? Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with her?” Yan Beicheng glared at the doctor.

Yan Beicheng could not help letting his imagination run wild. He kept thinking about the disease that Lin Chu could have contracted. Could it be cancer or something else? Late-stage stomach cancer patients were always throwing up such that one would normally mistake it for a minor virus. By the time they get to the doctor’s, it would be too late.

Yan Beicheng’s lips trembled as Lin Chu immediately sat up, but her movements were too fast and for a moment, she felt faint. She could not stop Yan Beicheng in time.

It was just a simple blood test but Yan Beicheng had gotten so anxious. Lin Chu did not dare let him know about her light-headedness, in case Yan Beicheng got more flustered.

She slowly calmed herself down before walking over to hold Yan Beicheng on his arm. “Beicheng, stay calm.”

The doctor heaved a sigh of relief and took one step backward. Nevertheless, she still did not feel safe, so she backed up two more steps before saying, “Mr. Yan, please calm down. Even children suffering from fever and flu will need to take a blood test when they visit the pediatrician. I didn’t do a CT scan or a gastroscope scan for Mrs. Yan so it means that it’s nothing serious. Please bring Mrs. Yan over for the blood test so we can have an early diagnose. Only then can we decide the next step. Is that okay?”

The last sentence prompted Yan Beicheng to quickly bring Lin Chu for the blood test.

While they walked over, Yan Beicheng kept mumbling anxiously. Lin Chu had no choice but to hold Yan Beicheng’s arm tightly. She said quietly, “Beicheng, stop it. If something really was wrong with me, I’d need to depend on you. If you’re acting so tense, it’s going to make me feel scared.”

Yan Beicheng’s eyes widened as he realized what she meant. He quickly relaxed his expression and immediately realized that he was not acting appropriately.

He held on tightly to Lin Chu’s shoulders. “Everything is going to be fine. Don’t worry, the doctor said you were going to be okay too.”

Lin Chu smiled and nodded. She was actually not too worried, but when Yan Beicheng started acting so agitated, it made her anxious as well. Now that he had forced himself to calm down in order to comfort her, it made her feel a little sad.

Lin Chu went to get her blood tested and got the results not long after.

There were rows of medical jargon and numbers on it. Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng may both have been literate, but when the words were put together in this random sequence, neither of them could understand it.

They went back to the clinic and Yan Beicheng handed the results over to the doctor. He did not want to act anxious in front of Lin Chu again in case she got worried, so his eyes stayed glued on the doctor.

As Lin Chu held on to Yan Beicheng’s hands, she realized his hands were now balled up tightly into fists. Lin Chu could not slip her hands in, nor could she pry his fingers open. Yan Beicheng finally realized what Lin Chu was doing and relaxed his grip so that Lin Chu could slip her hands into his.

Yan Beicheng’s fingers interlocked with Lin Chu’s, but he could not relax.

He did not expect the doctor to smile widely upon going through the results of the blood test. She held up her head and said, “Mr. Yan, you do not need to be worried. On the contrary, I’d like to congratulate both Mr. and Mrs. Yan. According to the results, Mrs. Yan has been pregnant for 46 days.

Yan Beicheng, “...”

Lin Chu, “...”

The doctor had expected them to cry out in delight but they both looked stupefied.

Nevertheless, Lin Chu had a slightly better reaction. She recovered quickly as her face was a mixture of surprise and disbelief. “Rea... Really?”

The doctor nodded. “That was why I asked you when your last period was. Even though you said it wasn’t accurate, but judging by what you had told me, I suspected that you were pregnant. However, I wasn’t sure so I didn’t tell you beforehand in case you got happy over nothing.”

Yan Beicheng soon recovered from the shock but had a look of absolute disbelief on his face. “You’re a gastroenterologist, are you sure you’re right about this?”

Doctor, “...”

Hoho, if this not Yan Beicheng, she would have kicked him out with a broom!

Lin Chu watched as the doctor lowered her head. She quickly pulled at Yan Beicheng and smiled awkwardly at the doctor. “He’s too happy right now. It’s just that he was so worried earlier that now that there is good news, he’s finding it difficult to adjust. Please don’t blame him, doctor.”

Lin Chu had acted polite all this while. Despite being married to Yan Beicheng, she had no air of arrogance to her. The doctor had a good impression of Lin Chu and it was because of her that the doctor decided not to hold this against Yan Beicheng.

Thus, she suggested, “You can make a visit to the gynecologist and find out if there is anything you need to pay attention to.”

Lin Chu nodded in agreement and was about to leave but realized that Yan Beicheng was still rooted to the spot.

She did not know whether to laugh or cry as she pulled him along. “Come on, let’s go to the gynecologist.”

Yan Beicheng finally snapped to attention, but before they had even left the clinic, he turned to ask again, without realizing the doctor was still around, “Are you really pregnant?”

His dark eyes were shining brightly, but there was a spark of uncertainty in them. He was so confused that he actually looked adorably innocent. Yan Beicheng was behaving like a big child right now.

Lin Chu felt herself fill with motherly love, but was not sure if it was because she was pregnant or something else. When they walked out of the clinic, they stopped for a moment in the corridor.

Lin Chu held out her hands to caress Yan Beicheng’s face. As she touched his face, she said gently, “Of course. Even though the doctor is not a gynecologist, she still knows how to read the blood results, right? I hadn’t thought about this before but after the doctor mentioned it, I’m not sure if it was a psychological effect, but I’m pretty sure I feel something in me now.”

Yan Beicheng’s dark eyes got brighter and he suddenly carried Lin Chu in his arms without saying a word.

Lin Chu was surprised and nearly screamed out loud, but managed to stifle it in time. She could not help hitting him and exclaiming, “You scared me!”

Yan Beicheng got anxious as he saw Lin Chu’s face go pale, “How are you feeling? I was too happy, so I didn’t think straight. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

“I’m okay. I just wasn’t prepared for you to carry me. I’m okay now, but let me down first,” Lin Chu said quickly as she wrapped her arms around Yan Beicheng’s neck.

Even though there were not many patients visiting Chu Tian Hospital that night, there were still nurses and doctors on duty walking by the corridor, so Lin Chu was feeling embarrassed.

Two nurses walked past them together. They covered their mouths and giggled at the sight of them.

“I’m not letting go. I’m carrying you there,” Yan Beicheng said as he carried Lin Chu to the elevator with large strides.

Lin Chu immediately buried her face into his shoulders. Her long hair fell over her face and covered it. “You’re really... This is so embarrassing!”

“What is there to be embarrassed about? My wife is pregnant!” Yan Beicheng shouted out as if he wanted everyone to hear.

“Stop shouting! Haven’t you heard? You can’t tell anyone about the pregnancy in the first three months as it’s not a good omen. It’s okay to tell your family but not outsiders,” Lin Chu said hurriedly.

“Why is that?” Yan Beicheng asked curiously.

“I’m not really sure either. I was once at the orphanage visiting the old principal and the children when I met a neighbor who had good news. She said her daughter-in-law was pregnant but told us that it was not a good thing to tell outsiders during the first three months. She said it was tradition and that you might encounter an accident if you told others too early. These are all old wife’s tales, but still, it’s better to only inform others after three months. Even though I think it’s scientifically inaccurate, it’s still important to respect tradition,” Lin Chu explained.

Yan Beicheng immediately became serious and nodded. “You’re right.”

Thus, he shut his lips tight and looked like he had decided to never to open his mouth again. It was as if he was not about to allow himself to say another word.

“Well, you don’t need to keep absolutely quiet,” Lin Chu said exasperatedly.

“Help me press the elevator button,” replied Yan Beicheng.

Lin Chu reached out to press the button. “You really need to let me down.”

“Nope, I’m carrying you. You said it yourself, I shouldn’t be shouting this information out loud for these three months. I’ve just done that. What if something happened to you?” Yan Beicheng replied obstinately.

“I can’t have that much bad luck,” Lin Chu was dumbfounded.

Yan Beicheng would not let her go no matter what she said. He carried her all the way into the gynecologist’s office, stunning the in-house doctor. “Is there... Is there something wrong with her?”

“No. It’s just that I’m worried that something will happen to her,” Yan Beicheng’s face was expressionless as if this was standard procedure.

Doctor, “...”

Lin Chu blushed. “Let... Let me down.”

Yan Beicheng finally relented and put Lin Chu down in a chair. Then, he handed the test results over to the doctor. “We were at the gastroenterologist just now. The doctor there said my wife was pregnant, but we need you to confirm it.”

Doctor, “...”

She could see that Yan Beicheng looked highly skeptical, and so felt sorry for the gastroenterologist on the duty just now.

The doctor read the results and confirmed, “Your wife is pregnant. It has been 46 days.”

Lin Chu lifted her head and looked happily at Yan Beicheng. “See, it’s true.”

Yan Beicheng’s tightly shut lips trembled. He wanted to laugh in delight but also wanted to maintain his cool image. He did not want to embarrass himself too much.

Lin Chu decided to ignore him and gave him time to adjust to the news. She asked the doctor again, “Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?”

The doctor was used to these questions, so she explained everything to Lin Chu in detail and later took out a small pamphlet. “This booklet is by our hospital. There is information here about what a pregnant woman should look out for during this period. There’s also information on what foods to have during different stages of your pregnancy. You need to watch your food and have regular exercise. All the information is there. Some emergencies might come up, so you should take care to read about it as well. If something happens as printed in the booklet, don’t get anxious. Just follow the instructions included and you will be fine.”

Lin Chu had not expected Chu Tian hospital to be so thorough. It was a very thoughtful gesture. No wonder those who could afford it were willing to come to this hospital. It was not just Chu Tian hospital’s good reputation that everyone talked about, but the fact that they did a good job in every aspect, so it made people feel safe and secure. Chu Tian hospital had even prepared for questions that the patients had not really thought about.

Even though it was a small pamphlet, it was as thick as a pocketbook. Lin Chu took the pamphlet and was about to put it away when Yan Beicheng snatched it from her.

Yan Beicheng flipped to the index section and scanned through it seriously. Lin Chu thought he was looking at what to look out for in the first three months.

However, she did not expect Yan Beicheng to ask seriously, “I’ve heard that husband and wife are still allowed to be intimate during the first three months, is that true?”

Lin Chu, “...”

He lived as a bachelor before, where did he find out something like that?!

There was no look of embarrassment on the doctor’s face. It was unclear if she had been asked this question too often or was she just trying to save Yan Beicheng’s face, but she simply replied, “It is not allowed during the first three months and last three months. Intimacy is okay when she’s in the midterms, but you would need to be careful.”

Yan Beicheng nodded as he replied, “Then you need to put down that information in the pamphlet too. It would be so embarrassing to force this question out of your patients. Old Chu should know to do his work better.”

Doctor, “...”

Lin Chu, “...”

Chu Zhaoyang, “Achoo!”

Why would you ask if you are embarrassed about it?!

Lin Chu was now too embarrassed to face the doctor. She knew Yan Beicheng would insist that she return to Chu Tian Hospital for her pre-natal check-ups, not to mention the baby’s birth and post-birth confinement.

She was so embarrassed but there was nowhere for her to hide. How awkward would it be for her to see the doctors and nurses again in the future!

The doctors and nurses on night duty would surely discuss what they had seen today with their colleagues so everyone would soon find out about it. It was useless to just hide from the people who were on the night shift.

Lin Chu covered her face helplessly and Yan Beicheng scooped her up once again before leaving.

Lin Chu knew it would be useless to say anything more to Yan Beicheng, so she buried her face in his arms like an ostrich and let him carry her out of the hospital. Nevertheless, she was well aware that Yan Beicheng had a very recognizable face. With him around, everyone would know who she was.

When Lin Chu was finally carried into the car, both of them sighed with relief.

“Is there anything you’d like to eat? You haven’t had dinner yet,” Yan Beicheng asked as he drove.

Lin chu shook her head. “I don’t think so. I don’t really have an appetite. It could be because of that cake just now.”

“You’re heavy with a child, how can you not eat anything? Remember to read that mini pamphlet when we get home. It wrote that you would still need to force something down even when you have no appetite,” Yan Beicheng said.

Lin Chu looked at Yan Beicheng. She stared at him so intensely that it made Yan Beicheng feel uncomfortable.

After a while, he heard Lin Chu say, “So, from now on, the child is your priority. You’d rather let me feel bad about things than inconvenience it, is that right?”

Yan Beicheng felt a pang in his heart as he quickly turned his steering wheel, causing the car to screech to a stop by the side of the road.

Yan Beicheng quickly switched on the light in the car and turned toward Lin Chu. “What are you talking about? Of course, you are the most important person. If our child creates trouble and makes you lose your appetite, then your body would be the one that suffers, isn’t it?”

Lin Chu lowered her eyes and did not say anything. Yan Beicheng sighed and said gently, “I hadn’t even thought about the child. The first thing that came to my mind was that it wasn’t good for you to skip meals. If he gives you trouble, you’re the one who suffers.”

Lin Chu looked up at him and pouted, “I know you’re worried for me. You got so anxious when I was just feeling slightly uncomfortable. But the way you said it was like you were forcing me to eat even if I had no appetite and was feeling nauseous, like you wanted to force food down my throat. I’m not feeling that well now. If I felt like this before and didn’t feel like having anything, you’d take the effort to try and get me something that I could eat, but now...”

“It’s my fault,” Yan Beicheng quickly hugged Lin Chu.

Even though he felt that Lin Chu might be feeling frail and sensitive now, it could be because of her pregnancy. In the past, she would never get moody over such matters. However, she was just over a month into her pregnancy. If they had not found out about it, she would not have reacted this way. Now that they knew she was pregnant, she was behaving differently.

He had to check later if there were any other symptoms from being pregnant, such as increased sensitivity, suspicion or temper.

“I didn’t notice what I did, the words just flowed out of me. I didn’t think you would feel this way. Of course, you’re more important than our child. I want your body to remain healthy from the nutritious food, it wasn’t really for the child. I wasn’t even planning on having a child so early. I wanted things to happen naturally, but since it’s here, I’ll have to accept it. The most important person is still you,” Yan Beicheng hugged her and gently coaxed her.

Naturally, Lin Chu was aware of this. She had never doubted him, but she was not exactly sure why she was suddenly throwing a fit. Was it true that pregnant women were prone to such temperaments?

It was just slightly over a month, so she did not think that she would experience mood shifts so soon. Besides, before the results came out, she was quite normal.

In the end, Lin Chu decided it was because she had unconsciously started to fight for her husband’s love and attention with her unborn child.

This was something that Lin Chu was not planning on telling Yan Beicheng.

“Yan Beicheng, do you think I have prenatal depression?” Lin Chu lifted her head to ask him seriously.

Yan Beicheng could not help laughing out loud. His laughter put Lin Chu in a bad mood, so she pushed him back to his seat.

Yan Beicheng quickly hugged her tightly and lowered his head as he said, “I’ll stop laughing! I’ll stop laughing now!”

As he said this, he still could not repress the laughter. It was difficult for him to do so as his shoulders repeatedly shook from the joy.

“I’m really annoyed at you right now!” Lin Chu was angry about his laughing and tried to poke him.

Yan Beicheng quickly grabbed her hand before she managed to give him a furious poke. “Yes, I’m despicable, you should hate me. But you’re only just over a month pregnant, how can you have prenatal depression. I’m a man and even I know pre-natal depression comes right before you give birth.”

Lin Chu, “...”

She was really being stupid.

Yan Beicheng looked down at her dumbfounded face and remembered that he could not be intimate with her for the next three months. Then, he became moody.

He held her face and gave her a passionate kiss that lasted for a while before letting her go.

“It’s forcing me to restrain myself, so I’m not going to forgive it that easily,” Yan Beicheng clenched his teeth.

Lin Chu’s face went red at his words. “Let me go. I’ve been squeezed too much in here, I’m feeling uncomfortable.”

Yan Beicheng quickly let Lin Chu go.

Lin Chu, “...”

It was the first time that Yan Beicheng had let her go so obediently. He was lying when he said that he did not care much for the baby.

After this, Yan Beicheng switched off the lights in the car. He may not have been able to see her, but he could feel that the wife he had just finished coaxing was now angry again.

Yan Beicheng drove and rubbed his nose sheepishly. He could not figure out what he had done wrong.

When they were at a red light and stuck in a jam, Yan Beicheng secretly took out his phone to do a quick search on the emotional temperament of a pregnant woman.

There was a forum post on this situation, whereby the forum’s original poster had said, “My wife is currently five months pregnant. I don’t know what to do. Her temperament is so moody. It isn’t just about what I say that makes her angry. She was someone with a good temper before pregnancy, and I’ve repeatedly thought about what I said or did, but I do not think I did anything wrong. I have no idea how I made her angry. The clincher is that she never argues with me. All she does is cry... I’m feeling so tired of it.”

3L, “I feel like it’s my responsibility to let you know that pregnant women are sensitive, frail and always highly suspicious. You may feel like there is nothing wrong with what you say or do, but they are not the most reasonable. The only way out is to coax them. You have to coax them again and again.”
