Chapter 242
Xu Mo glanced at the wine glass in Liu Lingxiao's hand and said, "Miss Liu, you're drinking Gu Qinghuai's wine."
Liu Lingxiao, completely unaware that anything was amiss, didn't even bother to lift her eyelids as she replied, "Hmm? So what?"
Xu Mo tentatively asked, "Do you two do this often?"
Liu Lingxiao took out a new glass and said, "What's the matter? It's just drinking. We're not doing anything wrong."
Gu Qinghuai seemed accustomed to this, calmly holding his own wine glass as he continued drinking. "It's fine. She lacks common sense."
Xu Mo nodded with a grim expression, while Liu Lingxiao paid no attention to what the two were talking about.
As for Ye Jin and Xu Yan...
The two of them had leisurely planned to enjoy a few days on the island, but it seemed they barely left the hotel room.
When they returned, Xu Yan felt that only Ye Jin had truly enjoyed himself.
After all, she had been the one constantly... well, you know... for the past few days.
Upon their return, Liu Lingxiao and Gu Qinghuai had already left, but they both left many gifts and letters for Ye Jin and Xu Yan.
Their bar finally had its grand opening, although it was only open for four or five days a month.
Then, on a certain day more than two years after their marriage...
Xu Yan lay listlessly on the table, swinging her hand over the edge, and called out weakly, "Ye Jin~"
Ye Jin poked his head out from behind the wine rack. "Yan Yan, what's wrong?" He walked over and felt her forehead. "Why are you so lethargic? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Xu Yan sat up straight and yawned. "I don't know. I'm just so tired."
Ye Jin sat down beside her and gently embraced her. "Then how about we don't fool around tonight, okay?"
Xu Yan pouted. "It's about time!"
Ye Jin laughed and ruffled her hair. "Do you want to eat something?"
Xu Yan cupped her face and leaned crookedly against Ye Jin. "I feel like I've gained a little weight recently... Maybe I should eat less. Give me one fried chicken! And two drumsticks!"
Ye Jin was about to get up when he heard this and paused. He cupped Xu Yan's chin and looked at her closely. "Yan Yan, are you sure you're not feeling unwell anywhere?"
Xu Yan weakly fiddled with her fingers. "Did I eat too much?" She looked at Ye Jin with a pitiful expression. "Can you not afford to feed me anymore?"
Ye Jin hugged her and gently patted her back. "How could that be? Yan Yan, I can afford to feed you no matter how much you eat."
Xu Yan looked at him expectantly. "Then I want what I just mentioned."
Ye Jin kissed the corner of her mouth. "Alright."
He skillfully went to the kitchen to make fried chicken for Xu Yan, along with some sour plum juice to cut the greasiness.
However, when he brought the fried chicken to Xu Yan, she didn't seem to have much of an appetite anymore.
Ye Jin was really worried now. "Yan Yan, let's go to the hospital for a check-up."
He sighed. "I should have learned some medical knowledge from my sister."
Xu Yan rubbed her eyes and took a bite of the chicken leg Ye Jin was feeding her. "Mmm, I'm just a bit sleepy. I'm sure I'll be fine after a good night's sleep... Ugh!"
As she was eating, she suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't hold it back, throwing up immediately.
Ye Jin panicked instantly. "What's wrong, Yan Yan? We're going to the hospital!" He picked up Xu Yan and was ready to head out immediately.
Xu Yan rinsed her mouth with Ye Jin's help. She sniffled, "Ye Jin, I'm fine."
Ye Jin's face was serious. "Yan Yan, I'm very worried about you."
Xu Yan weakly said, "Th-then okay."
At the hospital, Ye Jin left Xu Yan sitting obediently while he ran around making arrangements.
When they were both sitting in front of the doctor after the examination, he was so nervous that he even lightened his breathing.
Xu Yan held Ye Jin's hand and asked the doctor in front of them, "Doctor, I should be fine, right?"
The doctor looked at the examination report in her hand and said with a smile, "How can you be fine? This is a big deal."
Ye Jin's heart stopped beating for two seconds. He unconsciously gripped Xu Yan's hand tightly. "Doctor, what exactly is wrong with my wife?"
Xu Yan's voice also grew quieter. "I just... just... don't feel very energetic, that's all..."
The doctor realized that her words had caused a misunderstanding and was a bit amused. "What are you thinking? This young lady is pregnant."
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Xu Yan carefully. "You're of legal age, right? Do you want to keep the baby? You just said 'wife'?"
Ye Jin was stunned when he heard the first sentence, his mind going blank instantly.
Xu Yan, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. She was only stunned for a moment before reacting. "Doctor, I'm almost twenty-four. We've been married for over two years."
The doctor was a bit surprised. "Really? You look so young."
Ye Jin came back to his senses in a daze. He looked at Xu Yan. "Yan Yan, you're... you're pregnant?"
Xu Yan blinked and said with a smile, "Yes."
Ye Jin was both confused and at a loss. "Then what... what should I do?"
Xu Yan reached out and pinched his face. "Hey! Didn't you read so many books about this before? How come you're more confused than me now that we're actually having a baby?"
Ye Jin suddenly became alert. "Right, right, right. I know, I know. Then let's go home first. I'll make you something delicious." He turned to the doctor, "Doctor, is my wife's health okay?"
The doctor originally wanted to give some advice, but seeing this, she just smiled and shook her head helplessly. "Her health is very good. It seems you've been taking good care of her. Actually, you don't need to be too careful. Just act naturally."
Ye Jin nodded seriously. "Thank you, doctor."
He carefully put his arm around Xu Yan as they left. "Yan Yan, be careful when you walk."
Xu Yan was a bit exasperated. "The doctor just said we don't need to be so careful!"
Ye Jin couldn't hear a word of it. "No, Yan Yan, I'm very happy. I'll tell my sister later and have her come check on you."
Xu Yan frowned. "But won't your sister be very busy?"
Ye Jin thought for a moment. "She likes you so much, she'll definitely be concerned about your health too. If she's really too busy, you can just video call her."
As they were talking, they didn't expect to see Liu Lingxiao sitting at a table drinking wine when they returned to the bar.
Liu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them return safely. She glared at Ye Jin and scolded, "Did you know Yan Yan is pregnant? Why are you taking her out gallivanting?"
Ye Jin coughed lightly and replied, "Sis, I just brought Yan Yan back from the hospital."
Liu Lingxiao frowned, "Don't take Yan Yan to the hospital next time. Your child's heartbeat will be different from a normal human child's, and it might raise concerns at the hospital."
Xu Yan nervously asked, "Sister, will our child be healthy?"
Liu Lingxiao gently patted her head, "Don't worry, I'm here. The little one will be very healthy." Ye Jin rubbed his nose, "Sis, I understand. So, will you stay here for a while?"
Liu Lingxiao rolled her eyes, "Do you even need to ask? I've seen many children born to supernatural beings and humans before. Generally, there shouldn't be any problems, but it's not a hundred percent guaranteed. So, I'll keep a close eye on your child."
