Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 791 - 791 Pregnant
Chapter 791 – 791 Pregnant
791 Pregnant
Shen Xi was gagging her tongue out as her stomach churned inside out. It took a while before she got over it. With all her energy leaving her body, she picked up her breath while leaning against his body. “I might have drunk too much.”
Furrowing his brows, Li Yuan picked her up from the bathtub and wiped her body dry. He put her in a clean set of clothes and put on some shows on the TV before carrying her out of the bathroom. “Doctors don’t treat themselves. I’ll get your brother to examine you.”
Shen Xi was too lazy to move and simply lay on his chest. “Of course, I can diagnose myself. I had too much to drink.”
That said, she propped her head away from him and started to retch again. Afraid she might throw up on him, she nudged him to put her down.
Li Yuan put the girl down before whipping out his phone to call Fu Qingxuan.
Fu Qingxuan quickly arrived with a first-aid kit in hand and dove straight into examining the ill-looking girl. Unable to find anything wrong with her, he frowned. “Can you be pregnant?”
Shocked, Shen Xi checked on her pulse. Her weak pulse or queasiness seemed to mess with the diagnosis as she could not get much of a pulse. Furrowing her brows, she mumbled to herself, “It can’t be.”
Don’t tell her she did not do her due diligence in contraception and hit the jackpot like Lil’ Ye.
On second thought, there was a good chance she was. Li Yuan had great stamina, capable of going on and on. Had it not been because she was fit, Shen Xi would be dead beat.
“Let me see.” Fu Qingxuan knew a thing or two about Traditional Chinese Medicine, having picked up the skill from Shen Xi and medical books. He got the gist of checking pulses.
Kneeling by the girl, Li Yuan held her hand as his eyes reflected worry, anticipation, and joy.
Her sudden pregnancy was not in their plans. He never intended for them to have children so soon.
Still, it was not like they had everything under control. He was happy with the pleasant surprise.
With the pulse inconclusive, Fu Qingxuan frowned. “Your pulse is irregular and weak. Why did you drink alcohol today?”
He started to get frustrated and pointed his finger at Li Yuan. “And you! Why did you let her drink? She shouldn’t be drinking. What are you going to do if she’s really pregnant?”
During pregnancy, alcohol was strictly forbidden especially in the early term. Shen Xi helped herself to the drinks more than everyone else during the toast today.
Li Yuan believed he deserved the telling off as he had himself to blame. Holding the girl by the waist, he picked her up. “We should head to the hospital for an examination.”
Still unable to let it go, Fu Qingxuan pointed at them. “If something happens to the child Wait up!”
Before he had the chance to pack up the first-aid kit, Fu Qingxuan rushed to them.
What was with those two? Did the pregnancy sneak up on them? It clearly happened more than two weeks ago since she was throwing up now.
Li Yuan looked back. “Don’t tell the family yet.”
Fu Qingxuan glared at him. “Do you take me for a fool?”
Meanwhile, the family was waiting for Li Yuan and Shen Xi for dinner at the dining hall. In fact, Fu Qingxuan sneaked out without anyone noticing.
He had the tact when it came to the crunch. It was best not to stir a scene on a big day if it was nothing serious. Mom, Dad, and the others would be so worried if they were to find out that Xixi was not feeling well.
“What happened?” Shangguan Yanqiu came up in distress as Shen Xi was carried out with a pale face.
“She had a bit to drink, so we’re taking her to the hospital.” Fu Qingxuan answered her.
“Can’t you check her?” Shangguan Yanqiu hit Fu Qingxuan so he could get out of the way. She looked at her daughter. “I told you not to drink so much. Do you feel sick? Do you want Uncle Li to bring you some hangover tonic?”
There were two doctors in the house, and they were the best doctors out there too. Why was there a need for a trip to the hospital? Her gut told Shangguan Yanqiu that things were more complicated than that.
“We’ll be right back.” Shen Xi then covered her mouth to gag.
Following her retching, everyone in the living room turned to her. The mothers in the house had an idea of what was going on.
Yun Jinping told Li Yuan, “Put her down. Don’t move her around like that or you’ll make her sick. Go and get some tea. Hurry.”
It was not that Xixi had too much to drink but she was expecting!
Li Yuan compliantly put her down.
Ruan Sisi grabbed a bin for Shen Xi to throw up in. Beaming, Ruan Sisi blurted, “Xixi, you must be pregnant.”
Shen Xi was too busy vomiting to give her the time of day.
“We’re going to the hospital for a check-up.” Fu Qingxuan refused to admit that he s*cked at checking pulse.
“Do it later. At least, wait until she’s feeling better before going.” Shangguan Yanqiu squatted and patted Shen Xi’s back.
Carrying the tea over, Yun Jinping fed Shen Xi some to gargle after she was done throwing up.
Shen Xi shook off nausea before looking at her family surrounding her. “Don’t stress. I’m okay.”
Yun Jinping did not have the heart to lecture the girl. What did Xixi know? She was okay? As if. What if she was pregnant? She had quite a bit to drink today.
Song Wenye and Shen Tang exchanged glances without a word. Xixi and Toffeecito’s Dad were at it every single night
The baby must be determined to be birthed.
Li Yuan and Shen Xi, accompanied by Yun Jinping and Shangguan Yanqiu, went to a nearby hospital. The rest was to wait at home for the news. It would only be chaotic if more people tagged along.
Shen Xi was pregnant.
She held the laboratory report.
Yun Jinping and Shangguan Yanqiu nervously looked at the doctor. “Is the baby okay and healthy?”
The doctor pointed at the monitor and showed them. “Don’t worry. The baby is healthy. The heartbeat is strong.”
Feeling the sweat in his hands, Shen Xi smiled at Li Yuan and whispered gleefully, “Everything’s okay, Brother.”
Li Yuan held her hand tight as his heartbeat was all over the place. He nodded at her while embracing the lingering fear. “Thank goodness.”
Still concerned, the two mothers questioned the doctor carefully before getting peace of mind. They looked back at the couple and held their tongues.
The pregnancy was a bolt out of the blue. Since the couple had no experience, it was not their fault they did not realize that fact. Besides, Yun Jinping and Shangguan Yanqiu did not suspect a thing even though they were mothers themselves.
Shen Xi carried the pregnancy to full term.
During the first snow.
Shen Xi gave birth to twins successfully. The boy was the older brother while the girl was the younger sister.
