In other words, the maturation period of the human body in this world occurred five to six years earlier than in her original world.
Moreover, Qin Zhenzhen, being a medical student, possessed a thorough understanding of her body’s development and was prepared for childbirth.
The decision to postpone having a child was entirely hers.
Su Bin’s unspoken sentiments were clear to Qin Zhenzhen. While he didn’t articulate it, she sensed he shared the prevailing views of this society, where having a child promptly was deemed advantageous.
Perhaps out of respect, Su Bin refrained from pressuring her about the timing of parenthood.
Considering her decision to feign pregnancy, Qin Zhenzhen contemplated allowing nature to take its course, foregoing contraception. If conception proved elusive, they could persist with the charade and later assert a miscarriage or adopt a child.
Conceiving would be optimal, and a few extra months seemed inconsequential.
After all, hadn’t there been instances of pregnancies lasting twelve months?
In a literary work she recalled, the male lead, the Third Prince, spent a year in his mother’s womb, yet his birth seemed expedited, showcasing unparalleled intelligence that outshone his princely peers.
This achievement even earned his mother a special reward from the emperor.
The fear instilled by the Third Prince prompted the Public House to contemplate nefarious actions, including poisoning his mother and even attempting to poison him in his youth.
While Qin Zhenzhen had foreseen many potential scenarios, she hadn’t anticipated contracting an infection shortly after discontinuing contraceptive measures.
The speed of the onset caught her so swiftly that she couldn’t inform Su Bin in time.
Speaking of her pregnancy, the reaction was unusually intense. Not even a month had passed, and the symptoms, including vomiting, were already evident.
Initially thinking it was a jest, Su Bin played along to avoid dampening Qin Zhenzhen’s mood.
He teased, “Pregnant, huh? You should experience it fully.”
“How dare you say such things!” she retorted, visibly angered by Su Bin’s words. Reacting impulsively, she gently pushed him away.
Her robust physique, combined with her strenuous efforts, easily overpowered Su Bin, almost sending him to the ground.
Realizing he had crossed a line, Su Bin swiftly apologized, “Wife, calm down. It was just a joke. If you’re genuinely pregnant, why would I risk touching you?”
Qin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, “You ruined the moment!”
“I had good news to share, but now…” Su Bin trailed off, sensing something was off with Qin Zhenzhen.
Reflecting on the situation, he recalled she had been playing on the swing moments before, and immediately after descending, she unexpectedly vomited. If it were an act for Su Ning’s benefit, she would likely wait for moments without an audience. Additionally, the authenticity of her vomiting was undeniable.
Carrying her back to her room, she didn’t resist, a departure from her usual refusal to such actions in broad daylight. Given her recent claim of being pregnant and untouchable, Su Bin’s casual joke had elicited an unexpectedly intense reaction.
Good news?
Was it possible that his wife was genuinely pregnant, and he was on the brink of becoming a father?
Su Bin shook his head once more.
It seemed improbable. His wife had explicitly expressed her reluctance to have a child so soon. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone through the charade of pretending to be pregnant..
