Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Su He Is Pregnant

“How about you guys place a bet?”

At this moment, Jing Xuan walked over and added a sentence.

This time, Xiao Si seemed quite interested.

He said, “Sure, I have no objections.”

This time it was Wan Muqi who was unwilling.

“I object. If you want to bet, bet on your own. I’m not participating.”

There’s no need to bet on this, the outcome is obvious.

Xiao Si seized the opportunity and said, “What’s the matter, are you backing out?”

Wan Muqi couldn’t be bothered to respond to him.

Xiao Si nudged him with his shoulder, “What’s the matter, chicken?”

Wan Muqi gave him a sideways glance, “Don’t brag here. Just say if you want to scam my money.”

Xiao Si said, “Talking about this, we’re all brothers here. Talking money hurts feelings.”

Wan Muqi replied coolly, “Since talking money hurts feelings, don’t bring it up with me.”

“Then we won’t talk about money, let’s bet in another way, how about that?”

“No bet.”

Wan Muqi firmly said these two words.

The other three married men sat silently on the opposite side, watching the show.

What to bet on was no longer important to them, neither was winning or losing. What mattered was the sense of participation.

“Look, look, you’re still backing down. Aren’t you the famous Mr. Wan? How can you back down at the first sign of trouble?”

“Trying to provoke me won’t work, don’t bother!”

“So, are you going to concede defeat to me?”

Xiao Si continued to provoke him. After all, Wan Muqi had never lost, and he wouldn’t allow himself to lose.

Wan Muqi adhered to the virtue of “a real man can yield”, saying, “Losing to you in matters like this isn’t a shame. I can accept it.”

Xiao Si was left speechless.

“…”

Gu Beiyan chuckled, looking at Xiao Si and said, “Alright, you won’t win an argument with him. If he doesn’t want to bet with you, he has a hundred ways to refuse.”

At this moment, Su He and Lan Yan were leading Su Yimo and Su Yuxuan over.

Sang Luo and Su Zhimian didn’t stay overnight on the island because they had matters to attend to the next day.

But Su Yuxuan wanted to stay, so they entrusted her to Su He.

Xiao Si looked at Gu Beiyan and said, “Old Gu, try to have kids quickly, so we can become in-laws.”

Gu Beiyan said, “What if my kid doesn’t like your kid? I can’t decide that now.”

Xiao Si said, “…At least, if my kids with Yanyan are as excellent as I hope, what’s not to like?”

“That’s uncertain.”

“…Among the people present, you can only become in-laws with my family or the Lu Family.”

“What are you guys talking about? Becoming in-laws?”

Lan Yan approached and heard Xiao Si saying this.

Wan Muqi answered on behalf of Xiao Si, “Old Xiao wants to become in-laws with Old Gu.”

Lan Yan glanced at Xiao Si, “A bit too far-fetched, don’t you think?”

Xiao Si tilted his head to meet her gaze and said, “This is called being prepared for the future.”

Lan Yan said, “…”

Meanwhile, Jiang You, Jiang Nanche, and others were busy with barbecue and had no time to join this conversation.

…

Midnight at twelve.

Everyone dispersed, mainly because it got increasingly cold on the island at night.

After coaxing Su Yimo and Su Yuxuan to sleep, Su He went back to her room to wash up.

When she opened the bathroom door, she got a fright.

She looked at the man standing at the bathroom door and said speechlessly, “Why are you standing here?”

Jiang Yan stared at her intently.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Su He asked again, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, “Did you forget what you said last night? Where’s my compensation?”

Su He said, “…”

She cleared her throat and brushed past him, saying as she walked, “It’s too late today, let’s do it another day.”

But just after taking two steps, she was pulled back by the man.

Then she fell into a warm embrace.

“Still saying you didn’t give me false hopes?”

“I didn’t expect you guys to chat so late tonight. Plans can’t keep up with changes.”

“How many times has it been?”

The man stared at her without blinking.

Su He smiled and said, “Are you really that bothered by this?”

“What do you think?”

He said these three words with a tone that was quite aggrieved.

Su He sighed, lifted her hand to hug his solid waist, and said, “Actually, I’m mainly worried about you not being able to sleep, so I’ll make it up to you another day.”

Jiang Yan said, “If tired, one can easily fall asleep.”

With that, he lifted her up by the waist and walked towards the bed.

Su He had just laid on the bed, and before she could react, his tall figure was pressing down on her, and he was already kissing her neck.

“Wait, wait.”

As she finished speaking, his actions also paused.

“What’s wrong? You want to be on top?”

Su He said, “…That’s not what I meant.”

Jiang Yan said, “Hmm, if you’re worried those two little ones will wake up, don’t worry, Fei Yue and Fei Xu are watching.”

“It’s not about that.”

“Then what is it?”

“The first three months are a risky period, we can’t do it.”

The man was initially confused by her words, “What do you mean the first three months are a risky period?”

He had just asked when the realization hit him.

He immediately got off her and looked at her in shock, then at her flat stomach.

“Are you pregnant?”

Su He stretched out both hands toward him, and he immediately grasped them, gently pulling her up.

After sitting up, Su He replied calmly, “Yes.”

“Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“The day before Jiang You’s wedding. I just hadn’t had the chance, plus it coincided with their wedding, so I thought it wasn’t urgent. I haven’t even had a check-up yet. Calculating the time, it should’ve happened two weeks ago.”

“Did you diagnose it yourself?” Jiang Yan asked.

Su He nodded.

The next second, he got out of bed.

“Where are you going?”

She hurriedly grabbed his hand.

“We’re going to the island’s hospital for a check-up right now.”

Su He held his hand and said, “No need, I’m fine. I know my body. If we need to check, it can wait until tomorrow. It’s not urgent this hour.”

“But the other day…”

She knew what he wanted to say, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I wasn’t harmed.”

“Alright, alright, let’s sleep. It’s already very late.”

Su He pulled him back onto the bed.

He had barely lain down for a few seconds before saying, “Wife, why don’t we still…”

Su He directly interrupted his words, “I’m also a doctor. I said it’s fine, so it’s fine. Don’t overthink it, just sleep.”

Actually, Jiang Yan just couldn’t process it right away.

Lying in bed, he was getting more and more excited, with no sign of sleepiness at all.

His hand carefully reached towards her belly, hesitant to touch.

Su He noticed his action and directly held his hand, pressing it onto her stomach.

“It’s just a tiny embryo now, you don’t have to be so cautious.”

“…”

Half an hour later.

Su He was initially sleepy, but unfortunately, the person next to her kept tossing and turning, keeping her awake.

Besides, he usually held her while sleeping.

But tonight, unexpectedly, he did not embrace her.

“I told you that you wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, but you insisted on arguing with me.”

By the dim light of the night lamp, Jiang Yan looked at her and said, “Sorry, I disturbed you. I can’t sleep. I’ll get up. You go ahead and sleep.”

Su He: “…”

“No, I can’t sleep if you don’t hold me.”

Saying that, she removed one of his hands and rested her head on his arm, snuggling into his embrace.

Jiang Yan held her, not daring to move at all.

“Alright, hurry up and sleep, I’m really sleepy.”

Jiang Yan gently wrapped his arm around her waist, softly caressing her head with the other hand, saying, “Okay, sleep.”

Soon, Su He fell asleep.

Even though someone had his eyes closed, he still wasn’t very sleepy.

——

The next morning.

The two little ones next door woke up early.

Fei Yue and Fei Xu took them to have breakfast.

But even after they finished eating, Su He and Jiang Yan still hadn’t appeared.

Su Yimo asked, “Sister Fei Yue, why haven’t Mommy and Daddy gotten up yet?”

Fei Yue and Fei Xu only found out this morning that their Master and Madam had left the island early.

“Well, Young Master, Master and Madam left the island early due to some matters,” Fei Yue said.

Su Yimo was speechless upon hearing this.

They actually left him and his sister Yuxuan behind.

At this moment, Lan Yan and others came to the dining room.

“Aunt Yan, good morning.”

The two little ones greeted her.

Lan Yan looked at them, smiling, and said, “Good morning, have you eaten your fill?”

The two little ones nodded.

Su Yimo replied, “Mm, we’re full.”

Lan Yan patted the heads of the two little ones, “Good, then Aunt Yan will take you back later.”

Lan Yan had just received a message from Su He.

…

On the other side, the couple had already left the island and just arrived at the hospital.

He took her on the boat at around six in the morning, leaving Chilan Island.

At that time, she was still half-asleep, drowsily carried away by him.

Sitting on the chair, Su He yawned and said, “Really, President Jiang, you are…”

She looked at him, momentarily unsure how to address his urgency.

“The doctors aren’t even on duty yet, why are you in such a hurry?”

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi were standing by, also bewildered.

They received the order from their Master in the middle of the night, saying they needed to leave the island early, so Jiang Feng arranged everything before dawn.

Then, when they saw him carrying Su He onto the boat, they were shocked, thinking something had happened to her.

Then, they rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

But who knew there wasn’t anything wrong with their Young Madam at all.

So, until now, they still didn’t know what they were doing at the hospital.

At this moment, Xiao Si came over and said, “Alright, I found someone for you. You can go in for the check-up shortly after they arrive.”

Xiao Si had also returned with them.

He was also dragged out of bed before dawn.

If it wasn’t Jiang Yan, he wouldn’t have agreed to it.

“Clearly, you could have done this without calling me, yet you insisted on dragging me along. I must have owed you in a previous life.”

Xiao Si complained.

This hospital belongs to the Su Family, Su He’s check-up could have gone through the green channel, they didn’t even need him.

But this man insisted on bringing him along.

“Besides, your sister-in-law is a doctor herself, she’s not even as nervous as you are. Anyone who doesn’t know would think you were the one feeling unwell.”

Xiao Si was full of grievances at this moment.

After all, being yanked out of a warm bed would upset anyone.

“…”

Su He looked at him apologetically, “Doctor Xiao, I’m really sorry for troubling you today.”

Xiao Si wasn’t genuinely angry, just letting out a few complaints.

“Sister-in-law, don’t say that, it’s no trouble.” He continued, “But, you know, Old Jiang, it’s normal for him to be anxious. After all, he missed the chance to be involved with your first child, so it’s understandable for him to be a bit at a loss, so please don’t blame him.”

Even when complaining, he spoke up for his brother.

Half an hour later.

After a series of check-ups, the doctor said, “Indeed, you’re pregnant, two weeks.”

Jiang Yan immediately asked, “Doctor, is the baby okay?”

The doctor smiled and said, “President Jiang, Dr. Su’s only been pregnant for two weeks, the baby hasn’t even formed yet. For now, there’s no major issue, Dr. Su’s body is very healthy. Just be mindful of certain things, take folic acid supplements, and maintain good nutrition. Dr. Su should be well aware of these considerations.”

Su He interrupted Jiang Yan and said to the doctor, “Thank you, Doctor Huang, we’ll be leaving now so as not to disturb your work.”

She was mainly worried that Jiang Yan might ask more embarrassing questions.

After leaving the consultation room, Jiang Yan kept supporting her.

Su He stopped and looked at him, saying, “Mr. Jiang, I’m not so weak that I need your support, you’re making it seem like I have some serious illness.”

Jiang Yan: “It’s safer to support you.”

“…”

Su He looked at him and sighed.

“Alright, alright, do as you please.”

However, before she could get home, she received a call from her grandparents.

They were inquiring about her pregnancy.

She had just left the hospital, and they already knew, their speed was surprisingly fast.

The elderly couple gave some advice before hanging up.

Then came Grandma’s call.

She answered one by one.

“Grandma, don’t worry, I’m fine… Yes, I will rest well, you don’t have to worry about me.”

“I’ll visit the old house later.”

After speaking with the Old Madam, Su He received WeChat messages from Jiang You, Jing Xuan, and others.

After reading them, she said, “Really, Doctor Xiao doesn’t keep his mouth shut.”

She didn’t even need to investigate to know who had informed Jiang You and the others.

“Don’t be mad, I’ll talk to him later,” Jiang Yan said beside her, “be careful of the daughter in your belly.”

Upon hearing this, Su He turned to look at him.

She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

She silently chanted in her heart: Let it go, let it go.

She had a premonition that in the days ahead, her ears might not have much peace.
