CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 308 WELCOME TO THIS WORLD_2

He carefully stroked Xia Yubing’s abdomen, as if a vibrant little life was already being nurtured there.

"However,"

He raised his head, looking determinedly at Xia Yubing, "I need to take you for a thorough examination. If it’s true, considering how we... over those days."

Xia Yubing’s face flushed immediately.

Actually, she was also very worried. During the days in Banna, they had indeed been a bit unrestrained, and now thinking back, Xia Yubing also felt some fright.

She gently stroked her own abdomen, filled with nervousness and insecurity.

"Alright, let’s go now." Chen Cheng put on his coat, "It’s better to check early and be reassured."

"Honey..."

Xia Yubing stopped him.

"What’s up?" Chen Cheng paused in his actions.

Xia Yubing walked up to him and slowly crouched down, "Let me finish what I can do before we leave, okay?"

Chen Cheng looked at Xia Yubing, immediately understanding her meaning, a gentle smile appeared on his face as he helped her up, "What are you always thinking about in that little head of yours? Your health is the most important right now. Those other things can wait for later."

Xia Yubing pouted slightly but did not insist anymore and followed Chen Cheng out.

On the way, Chen Cheng drove the car, much more cautiously than usual, occasionally glancing at Xia Yubing beside him.

Xia Yubing quietly looked out the window, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She felt joy for the possible arrival of a new life, yet worried about the uncertainties of the future.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Chen Cheng parked the car and hurried to Xia Yubing’s side, carefully supporting her as they entered the hospital lobby.

The hospital was bustling, with the smell of disinfectant lingering in the air.

After registering, they sat on a bench outside the gynecology clinic, waiting.

Around them, some pregnant women and family members were quietly talking, sharing the joys and woes of pregnancy; others quietly looked at their medical reports, faces showing mixed expressions of happiness and worry.

Xia Yubing looked at the protruding bellies of those pregnant women, her eyes filled with a mix of envy and longing, and she nervously gripped Chen Cheng’s hand tighter.

Chen Cheng gently patted her hand, whispering, "Don’t worry, I’m here with you."

Finally, it was their turn.

Chen Cheng accompanied Xia Yubing into the consulting room, where they met a middle-aged female doctor.

She first asked Xia Yubing for some basic information, like the date of her last menstrual period, recent physical condition, etc.

Xia Yubing answered each question, her voice slightly trembling.

The doctor recorded her answers while comforting, "Don’t be nervous, this is just a preliminary examination."

Then, the doctor issued a series of test orders, including blood work and ultrasound.

Chen Cheng took the order and led Xia Yubing through various test rooms.

During the blood draw, Xia Yubing turned her head away in fear. Chen Cheng stood by her side, blocking her view with his hand, softly saying, "Don’t be afraid, it’ll be over in a moment."

After all the tests were done, they returned to the waiting area outside the gynecology clinic to wait for the results.

During this time, Chen Cheng was restless like an ant on a hot pan. He paced back and forth in the corridor, his quick steps reflecting his inner anxiety; then he sat down again, tightly holding Xia Yubing’s hand, seemingly drawing some calming strength from her.

Xia Yubing, seeing his anxious demeanor, felt a stir of warmth in her heart.

Even such significant matters in the past few days hadn’t caused Chen Cheng to panic, but now, he was deeply anxious because of her, letting Xia Yubing more firmly believe that Chen Cheng sincerely accepted and looked forward to the arrival of the child.

After a long wait, a nurse finally called Xia Yubing’s name.

They walked into the consulting room, the doctor looked at the examination results on the computer, "According to the results, you are indeed pregnant. Currently, all indicators are relatively normal. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, you should pay more attention to rest, avoid vigorous activities, and keep a balanced diet..."

Chen Cheng couldn’t hear the doctor’s words clearly anymore; his mind echoed only with the words "pregnant."

He hadn’t expected that his first child would come so suddenly. For him now, with wealth and a career, it was undoubtedly a glorious enhancement.

"Honey? Honey?" Xia Yubing called twice before pulling Chen Cheng back to the moment.

Chen Cheng’s lips curled in a smile, "Hmm?"

"The doctor just said to come for another check-up around the 15th of next month." Xia Yubing’s eyes also welled up with tears, her excitement and joy evident as a first-time mother.

Chen Cheng smiled with a nod, "Okay, I’ll accompany you then."

Xia Yubing smiled too, caressing her own abdomen, silently speaking to the baby, "Baby, welcome to the world."

...

...

Elsewhere, at Jing Capital.

Tong Jialu’s days were not as leisurely and comfortable as Xia Yubing’s.

After Chen Cheng agreed to fund assistance to the other nine institutions, Tong Jialu’s workload surged, and her keyboard was nearly smoking from the intensive typing.

On one hand, she had to fully coordinate the lending processes of the nine institutions, carefully verification each step to ensure the funds were accurately and timely disbursed;

On the other hand, she had to be extremely vigilant and meticulous in reviewing every dime spent out, fearing a slight mishap like accidentally adding an extra zero could lead to unimaginable consequences.

In her heart, she also harbored another heavy concern: the safety of Xia Yubing.
