CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 138 MO YING IS PREGNANT_3

After Mo Ying returned to the front lines, she cut her long hair again, leaving only short hair to her chin. At this moment, it was uncertain whether it was tears or sweat that soaked her strands, with a few strands clinging to the side of her face. Mo Ying looked over with such a pitiful expression that made Du Xixi’s heart melt into a puddle.

Her already worried heart lifted again, and Du Xixi quickly walked over, hugging the fragile Mo Ying in her arms, and softly asked, "Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you to the military hospital for a check-up, okay?"

"I’m very scared." Mo Ying did not agree immediately. Instead, she shook her head evasively, "My health is poor. What if this child..."

"Sister Mo Ying!" Du Xixi heard Mo Ying’s worry and interrupted her before she could continue, speaking more gently, "Children are gifts from heaven to us. No matter the outcome, we must happily welcome them."

"Back then, my health wasn’t good either. If it weren’t for you all taking care of me, I might not have been able to safely give birth to Yiyi and Er Er." Du Xixi sat beside the bed, looking into Mo Ying’s eyes, trying hard to calm her down, "But Yiyi and Er Er are so healthy, running and jumping every day, rarely getting sick."

Mo Ying bit her lip, thought of the healthy and chubby appearance of Yiyi and Er Er, and looked into Du Xixi’s resolute eyes. Finally, she nodded gently: "Okay, I’ll go to the military hospital with you."

Thus, Du Xixi and Ke Lian had just gotten down from the hovercar when they took Mo Ying to the military hospital. Along the way, Mo Ying was very anxious and even wanted to turn back.

Fortunately, Du Xixi was extremely determined at this moment, even ignoring Mo Ying’s grievances and coquettishness, firmly suppressing Mo Ying, and when the hovercar stopped at the military hospital, Du Xixi forcefully dragged the worried Mo Ying to the obstetrics department.

Ke Lian followed behind the two, and like the mechanical soldiers protecting Du Xixi, suddenly became the "bodyguard."

Previously, when Du Xixi came for a prenatal check-up, the head of the obstetrics department personally received her. But today, the head had some matters, and the person helping with Mo Ying’s check-up was the deputy director, also a highly skilled doctor.

She glanced at the examination report and seeing Mo Ying watching her nervously and expectantly, she smiled warmly and congratulated, "Lord Mo, don’t worry. The child is very healthy, already twenty-seven days old."

Mo Ying’s tight string finally relaxed. Her eyes filled with tears that couldn’t be stopped, leaning on Du Xixi, continuously thanking the deputy director: "Thank you! Really, thank you! I... thank you!"

The deputy director had seen many new mothers like Mo Ying burst into tears of joy, but seeing Mo Ying’s husband wasn’t around, and instead, it was Du Xixi the Empress accompanying her, she naturally looked at Du Xixi and reminded, "Your Highness, there are some precautions I need to entrust to you."

The precautions for taking care of pregnant women should originally be told to the pregnant woman herself or her family, but since the pregnant woman’s family wasn’t there, and the pregnant woman was too happy to stop wiping away her tears, the deputy director could only tell Du Xixi first.

"Please, go ahead!"

"I suppose Lord Mo herself is aware that her health isn’t very good, and the fetus isn’t very stable. So in the future, she should rest more, avoid exercise in the coming months. It’s best..." The doctor at the military hospital had seen many cases of female soldiers suffering miscarriages due to improper exercise, and she did not wish Mo Ying to lose her child because of this.

Du Xixi listened carefully. Although Mo Ying’s mind had wandered to the edges of the interstellar arena, she somewhat heard a bit. Upon returning home, she directly submitted a report to the military department, asking for leave!

The report to the military department needed some time for approval, but Mo Ying didn’t idle. Sometimes she cried pitifully to her Mo family parents; other times, she joyfully informed her Ye family parents. She even thought about how to share this good news with Ye Wenting at the Imperial Research Institute.

Du Xixi and Ke Lian saw that she was quite busy at this moment, so they withdrew to one side and started whispering about their married life.

"Sister Mo Ying seems so thrilled." Du Xixi and Ke Lian had reached a distance from Mo Ying, making it impossible to hear what Mo Ying was talking about with both sets of parents unless they eavesdropped.

"Yes." Ke Lian glanced at Mo Ying, then lowered his head to look at Du Xixi, seeing her smiling brow and eyes, clearly happy for Mo Ying. He then leaned over to kiss Du Xixi’s forehead, "I’m sorry."

"Why suddenly apologize to me?" Du Xixi was taken aback, not expecting that Ke Lian, who hadn’t spoken since returning from the military hospital, would suddenly apologize as soon as he spoke.

"Seeing Mo Ying today, I realized how sorry I was for not being by your side back then." Ke Lian gently hugged Du Xixi, a hint of regret, along with deep affection, in his eyes.

In the early days of their marriage, Ke Lian had led troops to the front lines to fight the Insect Clan, leaving Du Xixi alone in the unfamiliar Ke Family. Even though Mo Ying was temporarily called to accompany her, Ke Lian still felt very sorry for Du Xixi.

When Du Xixi discovered she was pregnant, Ke Lian was not by her side, and it was Mo Ying who accompanied her, with Ke Xing moving in to care for her later.

But during a pregnant woman’s most vulnerable time, her husband wasn’t by her side, which really...

Ke Lian sighed.

As a husband, he indeed was quite incompetent.
