“Miss Bai, isn’t that just right? My sister was exactly like you are now when she was pregnant, throwing up severely.”
“I didn’t know until I went to the hospital,” Bai Man said with a smile.
Xu Chaomu followed behind them, taking one step at a time.
Her steps were somewhat heavy.
But this day would always come for her, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
She remembered that time when she was drunk at the bar, she had slurred, “Four Brother… when you have a baby in the future, let him play with me, okay? Don’t ignore me… I’ll definitely like him a lot, I’ll give him all the yummy treats, I’ll take him to the amusement park… he’ll definitely look a lot like you…”
Soon, he would truly have a baby of his own.
But she, she had to break her word.
In the end, she didn’t have the courage to watch his baby be born…
Once he got married, she would leave him forever.
Wishing him happiness, for a lifetime.
“Miss Bai, slow down, here, let me help you into the car.”
By the time they reached the garage, Xiaofeng was helping Bai Man into the passenger seat.
“Look at you, I can do it myself, I’m not that delicate,” Bai Man laughed.
“That won’t do, if you get a bump or something, Mr. Shen will scold me,” Xiaofeng said.
“Always so talkative,” Bai Man scolded with a smile.
Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, she just quietly followed and sat in the back seat of the car.
“Miss Bai, if you feel unwell while we’re driving, just tell me, I’ll slow down.”
“No, it’s fine, you can drive,” she replied.
“Sis-in-law, why don’t you call Four Brother and let him meet you at the hospital? It’ll be better with him looking after you,” Xu Chaomu suggested.
“He’s too busy, it’s not worth disturbing him for such a small matter. Besides, he’s not the type to take care of people. It’d just interrupt his work,” Bai Man said with a sweet smile, her face exuding the gentle warmth of a wife.
“Right, Miss Bai, give Mr. Shen a surprise later,” Xiaofeng added.
“Just drive, maybe I just ate something bad,” Bai Man laughed.
“Alright,” Xiaofeng replied and drove out of the mall’s garage.
Xu Chaomu clasped her hands together, her head lowered in silence.
During the ride, most of the time it was Xiaofeng talking with Bai Man occasionally responding.
Bai Man kept her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
But her face was always radiant with happiness, the happiness of a newly married woman, the happiness of being a wife.
While driving, Xiaofeng booked an appointment with the doctor at the hospital, and before long, they arrived at the nearest hospital.
Xiaofeng opened the car door for Bai Man: “Miss Bai, let me help you up, it’s on the second floor.”
“No, I’m not that frail, I can walk,” Bai Man said.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach lurched unpleasantly again, and she hurried out of the car to the nearest trash can.
Throwing up incessantly.
Xu Chaomu pulled out a tissue and walked over to Bai Man.
“Sis-in-law, here.”
“Thank you, Chaomu,” Bai Man accepted it.
After a good while, Bai Man finally felt a bit better.
Xu Chaomu supported her arm: “Sis-in-law, let me help you upstairs.”
“Thank you,” Bai Man said with a faint smile.
Xiaofeng carried Bai Man’s things, while Xu Chaomu supported Bai Man as they made their way slowly to the second floor.
Xiaofeng had booked an appointment with a gynecologist, and by now, a highly experienced middle-aged female doctor was already waiting inside.
As Bai Man entered, the female doctor stood up and greeted her politely: “Miss Bai, you’ve come.”
“Dr. Cheng, please check on Miss Bai for us. I guess… Miss Bai is pregnant, but she doesn’t believe it,” Xiaofeng said with a laugh.
“Miss Bai, please have a seat, and I’ll take a look,” the doctor said.
The doctor asked Bai Man a few simple questions, such as, “When was the last time you had your period?” and, “How many times have you and your husband been intimate recently?”
Xu Chaomu was originally an unabashed ruffian, but even she felt a bit uncomfortable hearing these questions.
Her face turned slightly red.
Especially when she heard Bai Man say, “Doctor, you know, young men… have a lot of needs… lately… we’ve been intimate… quite a few times… almost daily… ”
Xu Chaomu bit her lip and left the department.
The thought of Shen Chi and Bai Man entwined with each other and then him kissing her, she felt like slapping Shen Chi several times.
He played with her love recklessly; he never respected her.
In his eyes, she was no different from any other woman, available at his beck and call.
A sharp pain clutched at her chest.
“Shen Chi… you bastard…”
Her nose tingled as she bent down slowly, crouching in front of the department door, holding her knees, her shoulders trembling.
Time ticked by slowly, but the air seemed to stand still.
The smell of disinfectant wafted into her nostrils, chilling her to the bone.
Then, the door of the department opened.
Xiaofeng handed Bai Man a form: “Miss Bai, you should go get an ultrasound done quickly. Let Chaomu accompany you.”
Xu Chaomu wasn’t sure whether Xiaofeng did it on purpose.
Bai Man looked down and immediately saw Xu Chaomu squatting on the ground.
“Chaomu, why are you squatting on the floor? Are you feeling unwell?” she asked with concern.
Xu Chaomu brushed the dust off herself and smiled: “I’m fine, I just got a little tired from walking earlier and squatted down to rest a while. Sis-in-law, what did the doctor say?”
“The initial judgment is that I’m pregnant, but they still need to do an ultrasound to confirm it,” Bai Man replied with a smile.
Xu Chaomu feigned indifference and chuckled, “That’s great. I’ll accompany you there; I’m free anyway.”
“Alright, accompany me for a visit. It’s just one floor up,” Bai Man said.
“Alright.”
Xu Chaomu stepped forward to help Bai Man, taking the form from her.
When they got to the ultrasound room on the upper floor, Bai Man told Xu Chaomu to wait outside and went in by herself.
“Sis-in-law, take your time.”
“Okay.”
The door to the ultrasound room closed, and Xu Chaomu waited outside alone.
She stood by the railing, quietly watching the people in the lobby below come and go.
She watched silently, unaware of how much time had passed.
Minute by minute, it felt like an eternity.
The words “I love you” still echoed in her head…
This was a man’s most solemn promise to a woman.
“Chaomu, we can go now,” Bai Man called after an indeterminable amount of time, emerging from the ultrasound room with high spirits.
Xu Chaomu had never seen Bai Man so happy; she understood everything at once.
She said with a smile, “Sis-in-law, you must be pregnant, right? How many months?”
Bai Man touched her still-flat abdomen tenderly, “The doctor said, one and a half months.”
“That’s wonderful.”
“Chaomu, promise me one thing.”
“Sis-in-law, go ahead.”
“Don’t tell your Four Brother yet. I want to bring him to the hospital with me next time, and then tell him, to make him happy. The doctor just showed me the baby, and it felt so magical, the size of a soybean, but the doctor said the baby is very healthy.”
Xu Chaomu nodded, her smile strained, “Okay, I won’t tell him, you should tell him yourself, he’ll surely be really happy. He… really likes children.”
