“Qingqing, Mum said that you are pregnant!” Yue Wanqing nodded her head with certainty.
Ning Qing’s eyes revealed that she was at a loss. She looked down. Her small white hand touched her abdomen bit by bit, and she did not dare believe, and she shook her head. “Mum, it can’t be…I… had a period last month. This month I didn’t do anything with Shaoming…”
“Qing Qing.” Yue Wanqing held her daughter’s small hand and said, “Mum would not be wrong in this. You are 100% pregnant. When a woman is in the first stage of her pregnancy, there will be some bleeding. You had some last month, and it ended in 2 days. At that time you said that your stomach hurt. Mum also had not taken note of it.”
As she spoke, Yue Wanqing touched Ning Qing’s abdomen twice. She had a jubilant smile on her face as she said, “Look, even when I touch it, it seems that your stomach has grown bigger. It is still a little hard. When I count back, it looks like you should be about three months pregnant.”
Ning Qing did not know what she was feeling right now. She looked down and looked at her own small stomach that was showing a little. She had just thought that she had grown fat.
Recently she was sleepy, hungry…
Could it be?
Ning Qing’s eyes had the reflection of water in them. Did her stomach really have a small life in it right now?
Counting back the number of days, this child was probably…conceived on the 30th day of the lunar year. It was his — Lu Shaoming’s…
“Qingqing, tomorrow, Mum will accompany you to the hospital for an ultrasound. Pregnancy is a big matter; you have to especially diligent for your first child.”
“Mum, your legs are not mobile. I will have Xiao Zhou accompany me tomorrow. Don’t worry, I will let you know the results first.”
…
The next day, in the hospital
The doctor looked at the diagnostic report and had a smile on his face. “Congratulations, Miss! You are pregnant. It is the 11th week today. It has almost been 3 months.”
“Oh my god.” Xiao Zhou cupped her mouth in disbelief.
Ning Qing was wearing a loose dress today. She wore a pair of pointed glitter flats, and she was using her small hand to caress her stomach. She had nervousness in her smile as she said, “Doctor, 2 weeks ago, I had a little bleeding. Although it was not much, my stomach was in huge pain. At that time, I was kicked in the back by someone. My husband and I maybe…we might be worrying too much… My baby is fine, right? Is he healthy?”
…
This was her first time being a mother, Ning Qing reported all her details to the doctor, and once she thought of what had happened in Finland, she wanted to die in regret.
She was already pregnant and still put herself in danger. That person had given her a powerful kick in the back. In the hotel room, she and Lu Shaoming were still behaving like that…
He was on top, and it was a little deep.
Of course she felt pain.
This was the baby Shaoming left for her, but she was not a competent mother.
The doctor comforted her with a smile and said, “Now, about the examinations. The baby is very healthy. Your personal health is also up to standard. Both your qi and blood are good. It is clear that you have been living well for this period of time. Pregnancy is different from person to person. Some people undergo minor bleeding in the beginning stages. This kind of occurrence normally lasts one or two days. If the duration is too long, then we worry that it’s a miscarriage need to protect the baby then.
“As for your abdomen hurting. It is definitely related to you getting kicked in the back as well as your activities with your husband. This move is too dangerous. It is easy to end up with a miscarriage. I have a lot of experience with pregnant ladies. Many pregnant women take a few steps to walk to the bank and end up in a miscarriage. There are so many like you, jumping all around and getting in dangerous situations, but they are all alright. Talking about it specifically, pregnancy is a miraculous thing. As a mother, you must bear the fate of the child in mind.
“You and your child’s fate are deeply intertwined. He is probably reliant on you. Go back to rest well. As for the relations between a couple, you can do it appropriately after 3 months, but it is unwise for you two to be too passionate.”
Ning Qing stood up and said, “Doctor, thank you.”
…
The pair sat on the long bench in the hospital corridor. Xiao Zhou caressed Ning Qing’s stomach and said, “Ning Qing, I still can’t believe now that you are actually pregnant. There is a little Young Master Lu or a little Ning Qing inside! Oh my god. Both of you are so good looking and smart; how will your baby turn out? I am so excited to know.”
Ning Qing gently touched her own stomach and said, “Xiao Zhou, I have an instinct, that this would be a little Young Master Lu.”
“Little Young Master Lu, Little Young Master Lu….” Xiao Zhou circled around Ning Qing’s stomach and looked both left and right. She was very excited. “Ning Qing, the most important thing now would be to take good care of Little Young Master Lu. Wait until I get back. I will help you edit your schedule. Other than filming the movie, don’t accept any more commercials and performances.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “The baby comes first. I should definitely reduce my workload. But it is okay to be tired, the doctor said that I have been living well recently.”
‘
“Aiyo, Ning Qing you have Young Master Lu, this nourishing soup for the soul. Look at you two being so sweet recently. Your feelings have been good, and you are eating so much. Of course the baby will be raised well…” Xiao Zhou suddenly stopped in her tracks. She saw someone acting suspiciously at the corner some distance down the hallway, and the person was looking in their direction. “Oi, who are you? Don’t run!”
Xiao Zhou wanted to give chase.
“Ay, Xiao Zhou.” Ning Qing stretched out her hand to grab onto her, and her tone was calm. “Don’t chase after her; that person is an agent of my mother in law.”
“Your mother in law?” Xiao Zhou hit her own thigh and understood the entire situation. She stomped her foot anxiously and said, “You have been pregnant for 3 months, but you have only together with this Young Master Lu for these 2 months. How would we explain this? The timing is not right; this would cause quite the misunderstanding.”
Ning Qing laughed lightly. She calmly lay back on the seat and said, “That’s right, this is a question that even you can think of. Won’t my mother in law make use of this point? I cannot tell Shaoming that I am his wife, and he would think that this child isn’t his.”
She had thought about this factor since last night.
“Ning Qing” Xiao Zhou patted Ning Qing’s shoulder lightly and comforted her saying, “What are you afraid of? The situation now is different since you are pregnant. If worse comes to worst, we can just break the 3 month promise. Could Young Master Lu actually not want you and the baby?”
Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile. She touched her stomach and her tone had the gentleness of a new mother. “Baby, maybe many other people might say that your arrival is not at the right time, but Mum thinks that it is just right. You came at the time when Dad and Mum really wanted you to come. Aren’t you the best gift that heaven has given to Dad and Mum? Don’t worry, with Mum here, the rights and privileges you would enjoy as Little Young Master Lu will not be lacking. Before Daddy comes back, Mummy will protect you well.”
Xiao Zhou heard her words and she had a glow in her eyes. She followed behind Ning Qing all these years. They had chemistry between them. “Ning Qing, you’ve thought of your solution already right?”
“Heh! As for the solution, didn’t you say it just now, Xiao Zhou?”
…
Guang Qing, outside the President’s office
“Madam, president is busy with work. I will go report to him first…” Zhu Rui politely blocked both Song Yajing and the old butler behind her.
But he was unable to do so. Song Yajing stretched out her hand to push open the door of the office.
Lu Shaoming was sitting on the office chair to look at a document. The manager of the sales department was standing beside his desk reporting to Lu Shaoming in a soft tone.
Hearing someone barge in, Lu Shaoming lifted his eyes to look, and he furrowed his eyebrows.
“I have to deal with this.”
“Yes, President.” The manager of the sales department left. When he met with Song Yajng on the way out, he bowed down and greeted her, “Madam.”
Song Yajing waved her hand and the manager walked out the door.
Zhu Rui looked at Lu Shaoming in distress. Lu Shaoming gave him an expression and Zhu Rui knew what he meant, and he closed the office door.
There was only the pair of mother and son left in the office, and also the old butler.
“Mum, what are you urgently looking for me for? Can’t you even wait for a moment?” Lu Shaoming slowly stood up and came in front of Song Yajing.
Song Yajing received the documents from the old butler’s hands and passed it to Lu Shaoming. “Shaoming, you look at it yourself.”
Lu Shaoming did not take the document. He stuck one of his hands into his pocket and said calmly, “Mum, if you have something to say, then say it. You don’t have to beat around the bush. I have work to do.”
“Ning Qing is pregnant, it has been 11 weeks and is almost reaching 3 months.”
Song Yajing said it directly, and while she spoke, she was observing Lu Shaoming’s facial expressions.
But she was disappointed.
Because Lu Shaomings expression did not change. He scrunched his eyebrows, curled up his lips into a mysterious smile, and said, “Mum, what are you trying to say?”
“Don’t you get it? When did you get in bed with Ning Qing? The dates do not match up. Is the child in her stomach your child? Shaoming, I have told you from the beginning — she had a few men before you, she doesn’t love you with her heart. Look, someone else impregnated her. Don’t get cheated by her. The Lu family could not accept a child that has unclear roots.”
“Mum.” Lu Shaoming was frowning as he interrupted her. “It seems that you are familiar with my matters? Wouldn’t I know if the child in Ning Qing’s stomach is mine? Not to mention, when did mum develop the interest in ordering someone to specifically invade others’ privacy?”
Song Yajing froze for a moment. She rushed over once she heard about Ning Qing’s pregnancy. 3 months. It was easy for her to deduce when this child was conceived. Heavens was also at her aid. The words that he had said while half threatening her have become the weapon binding her to take further action. And now heaven was creating another road for her.
She only had to tell him that Ning Qing was pregnant for 3 months. No man on earth would be able to accept the woman they love having another man’s child in her belly.
He would definitely hate Ning Qing and leave her.
If he left Ning Qing out of hate, what else could Ning Qing do to battle with her?
But it didn’t turn out like this. Lu Shaoming’s reaction was too abnormal; it was totally different from what she had imagined.
“Shaoming, don’t you know what are you saying now? You met for the first time in America. You have not known each other for 2 months. Don’t be silly…”
“Mum, I will only ask this of you. How many months has Ning Qing been pregnant?”
Song Yajing’s entire body froze for a moment, and she had an uncomfortable premonition in her heart that was worrying her. “What are you saying?”
Suddenly: Kacha! The door of the relaxation room in the office opened up, and Ning Qing appeared at the frame of the doorway. She looked like she had just woken up. She was in a blur with sleep in her eyes as she said, “Shaoming.”
The trio all looked towards Ning Qing at the same time.
Ning Qing looked at Song Yajing. Her relaxed demeanour immediately became alert. Her body froze, and there was fear that flashed past her eyes. She politely bowed down and greeted her, “Aunt… No, Madam.”
Song Yajing: “…”
Lu Shaoming could not bear to see her afraid. He walked briskly over and put one arm around her small shoulders. He kissed her forehead like no one was around them and said in a gentle voice, “How come you didn’t sleep later? Aren’t you tired?”
As he spoke, his large hand went over her stomach. His voice was absolutely gentle as he said, “Although it has yet to be two months, has he made trouble for you?”
