Song Qiao had seen her fair share of doctors, especially when her grandfather was hospitalized. She had interacted with many of them, and they all seemed very professional and serious, making her feel assured that no accidents would happen under their care.
However, Song Qiao never expected that in this lifetime, she would encounter a doctor who was not serious at all... No, to be precise, Xue Wenbo was sometimes very professional, but as soon as he was in front of them, especially when Chu Munan was there, he tended to act less seriously.
Not only did he have no bottom line when joking, but sometimes he fearlessly challenged Chu Munan’s authority. Luckily, Chu Munan had the patience to tolerate him, otherwise Song Qiao would worry that Munan might lose control and strangle Xue Wenbo, this troublemaker of a man.
Because sometimes Xue Wenbo’s jokes included her as well, there were times when Song Qiao herself wanted to strangle this man.
As you can imagine, Xue Wenbo was now firmly established as a notoriously unserious and troublesome character in Song Qiao’s world.
After helping Song Qiao into the hospital, Assistant Chen went out to handle the paperwork for her examination.
Ignoring the two men, Song Qiao started to sip water from her cup, glancing at Chu Munan and then at Xue Wenbo. She decided to play the spectator and enjoy the show.
She had already explained to Xue Wenbo that her relationship with Chu Munan was not what he thought, but clearly, the man didn’t believe a single word she said and even believed that the child in her belly was Munan’s.
After explaining several times and seeing that Xue Wenbo still didn’t believe her, even treating her as if she was his future sister-in-law, Song Qiao simply gave up on explaining and chose to remain silent every time.
After all, if others don’t believe her, no matter how hard she tries to explain, it’s futile. It’s better not to explain at all and let those who are clear be clear, letting everyone think what they want.
However, Chu Munan had stopped bantering with Xue Wenbo. He paused for a moment when Xue Wenbo asked about when he was marrying Song Qiao and then had nothing more to say.
The man took out his phone, his gaze fixated on the screen, as if searching for a phone number. Without looking up, he spoke to Xue Wenbo, "A while ago, your father asked me if you were gay since you don’t have a girlfriend. Now that I think about it, it seems quite possible..."
Upon hearing Chu Munan’s words, Xue Wenbo’s face changed instantly, his smile freezing on his face. He quickly stood up and blurted out, "Hey, hey, hey, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be gay... Alright, alright, isn’t it enough that I’m going to examine Song Qiao now? Please don’t tell my dad nonsense, or he will kill me for sure."
Finally, Chu Munan lifted his gaze from the phone screen and looked at Xue Wenbo, his face wearing a faint smile, exuding a hint of arrogance.
Xue Wenbo, "..." Suddenly, he really felt like punching him.
Even though he knew he was being played by Chu Munan, Xue Wenbo still dutifully performed the prenatal checkup for Song Qiao. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
After performing some checks late into the night, half an hour had passed, and Song Qiao lay on the hospital bed beside Xue Wenbo, while Chu Munan stood by her side. On the computer screen in front of them, the ultrasound images clearly showed two little lives occasionally moving.
At this moment, as Song Qiao watched the images on the computer, she felt a very subtle sensation in her heart.
Chu Munan watched the two little lives on the image, his eyes slightly deep, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, clearly in a good mood.
Xue Wenbo glanced at Song Qiao and Chu Munan, especially noting the expression on Munan’s face. He became even more convinced that the child in Song Qiao’s belly must be Munan’s; otherwise, why would this man show such a fatherly expression?
Gathering his thoughts, he explained to Song Qiao and Chu Munan, "The babies are very active in their movements, as you can see both children are very normal. Look here, this is a hand... and here is a foot... and now you can see they move occasionally."
He paused, then added, "Later when you go home, you can try placing your hand on her belly, and perhaps, with good luck, you might feel the babies’ movements inside her womb..."
Clearly, that comment was meant for Chu Munan.
However, the latter remained silent without any reaction, leaving one to wonder whether he heard Xue Wenbo’s words or not.
When Song Qiao was eight months pregnant, she stayed indoors at home all the time because her belly was simply too large. It was so big that just standing up was a struggle, and even when she managed to stand, walking was unsteady. To prevent any accidents, she decided not to go out at all, and even for checkups, she had Xue Wenbo make house calls.
After that hospital prenatal visit, Chu Munan spent a week in Paris before returning to Beijing due to an emergency. However, he left Assistant Chen behind to take care of Song Qiao.
At nine months pregnant, Song Qiao frequently started to worry, considering even more matters than before and feeling insecure. She often asked Assistant Chen when Munan would come over. After all, since she got pregnant, it had been Munan who had been taking care of her, so during this critical period, she subconsciously regarded Munan as her source of security.
Assistant Chen didn’t know when his boss would come over either, as he knew the company in Beijing was going through many troubles lately, and their boss certainly couldn’t get away for the time being. So, thinking it over, every time he responded, "The boss will come as soon as he can, Miss Song. You don’t need to worry; you and the baby will be safe."
Song Qiao gave birth a week before her due date. That night, she went to bed early after dinner. In the middle of the night, she felt some pain in her belly, but it quickly went away. However, a few minutes later, she suddenly felt waves of pain and immediately knew she was about to give birth. In her panic, she knocked over the cup on her nightstand. The cup fell to the floor and shattered.
Soon after, footsteps hurried from outside her room. Because of concerns for potential emergencies, Assistant Chen was staying in the guest room next to her bedroom. One reason Munan had left him behind was that he had been a Special Soldier in the military; his hearing and reactions were sharper than average. So, when he heard the noise from Song Qiao’s room, he knew immediately that she was going into labor.
