Chapter 373: Pregnancy

"You'd better pray that she'll be okay." Su Yuze left behind a cold remark, then carried Su Rou and left the company.

He placed Su Rou in the car. She leaned on the seat, fast asleep, her face as pale as transparency. Looking at her like this, Su Yuze felt a twinge of pain in his heart. If he weren't in a hurry to send Xiaorou'er to the hospital for treatment, he would surely kill that woman!

Su Yuze rushed to the hospital at top speed. Carrying Su Rou, he directly barged into the emergency room. "Doctor, take a look at her."

"Mr. Su..." A doctor recognized Su Yuze and immediately put on an obsequious smile. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not me. It's her." Su Yuze laid Su Rou on the bed and immediately pulled over a doctor. "Examine her."

"Sure, sure, sure. Don't be in a hurry. I'll find a senior female doctor for you." How could they just grab a random doctor without considering if they were the right specialist?

Before long, a middle - aged female doctor rushed over. "Mr. Su, let me take a look."

Su Yuze stepped aside slightly to let the female doctor examine Su Rou.

The female doctor was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She didn't use a stethoscope but the traditional methods of inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and pulse - taking. First, she checked Su Rou's complexion, then lifted her eyelids, and finally placed her hand on Su Rou's wrist. Su Yuze just watched her like this, and the air suddenly grew quiet.

It wasn't until the female doctor let go of Su Rou's wrist that Su Yuze softly asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with her?"

The female doctor smiled and said, "She's not sick. She's just pregnant."

"It's good that she's not sick..." Su Yuze let out a sigh of relief. But a few seconds later, he suddenly stood up and looked at the doctor. "What did you say?"

The female doctor had seen all kinds of reactions from expectant fathers, and Su Yuze's wasn't the strangest. "Congratulations, Mr. Su. You're going to be a father."

Father...

For the first time, Su Yuze felt that his rapidly - working brain wasn't quite up to the task. It took him a long time to understand the meaning of these two words. His expression was a bit stiff. "Xiaorou'er is pregnant..."

"Yes. She's about eleven weeks pregnant." The female doctor said.

"Eleven weeks..." Su Yuze repeated the doctor's words like a parrot. That meant Su Rou had already been pregnant during that busiest month. "Wait. She has coldness in the uterus. The previous doctor said it would be very difficult for her to get pregnant."

The female doctor nodded. "It's relatively difficult for women with coldness in the uterus to get pregnant, but it's not impossible... Have you been regulating her coldness in the uterus?"

"Yes. She's been taking traditional Chinese medicine." Su Yuze answered obediently.

"It's effective. Moreover, pregnancy can change one's constitution. After giving birth, menstrual cramps will improve." The female doctor said with a beaming smile.

Su Yuze nodded, but soon he remembered something else. "Then why did she faint?"

"Pregnant women's bodies are more fragile. Maybe she was just too overworked. It is recommended that the pregnant woman do less and rest more in the future."

"Okay, I understand."

"I'll get you a parenting manual later. There are a lot of things to pay attention to in it."

"All right."

The female doctor left the ward, and Su Yuze sat back down beside the hospital bed, watching over Su Rou. He let out a soft sigh and whispered, "You little fool. How could you not even know you're pregnant... I'm a fool too. I was too busy this month to notice your period." He held Su Rou's little hand tightly, his tone tinged with annoyance.

But of course, Su Rou couldn't hear him. She was lying there quietly, sound asleep.

...

Su Rou felt as if she had slept for a long time, so much so that her body felt heavy.

"Um..." Su Rou felt a bit of a headache. Maybe it was because she had slept for too long.

"Xiaorou'er?" As soon as Su Rou moved, it alerted Su Yuze. He immediately opened his eyes and turned on the bedside lamp. Seeing her rubbing her forehead sleepily, he got up and poured a glass of warm water for Su Rou. "Drink some water."

Su Rou drank the water from Su Yuze's hand. After half a glass of warm water, Su Rou felt a bit better. "Did I sleep for a long time?"

"Yes. From morning till evening." Su Yuze said.

"Ah, is it already evening?" Su Rou turned her head to look around. The curtains were drawn, and she couldn't see outside, but she could still see the wall clock. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Yes. Are you hungry?" Su Yuze asked softly. "You haven't eaten anything all day."

Su Rou pouted slightly. "I am a bit hungry. No, I'm really hungry."

"I'll get you something to eat." With that, Su Yuze walked out and simply cooked a bowl of noodles for Su Rou.

Just smelling the fragrance, Su Rou could hear her stomach growling. Su Yuze set up a small table on the bed. Watching Su Rou gobbling up the noodles, he carefully placed a glass of warm water beside her hand. "Be careful. It's hot."

"Um..." Although she responded, Su Rou still ate in big mouthfuls. She was really starving. "What happened to me before?"

"You... are pregnant."

Su Rou stopped eating the noodles. "What did you say?" she asked uncertainly.

Su Yuze said with a faint smile, "I said you're pregnant!"

"Really?" Su Rou took a sip of the soup and touched her stomach. There was a little baby in there. Although she couldn't feel it yet, after knowing she was pregnant, she had a very strange feeling in her heart.

"Really. The doctor said so himself." Su Yuze pinched her cheek. "It seems that the medicine for regulating coldness in the uterus is very effective."

"Yeah. After I took the medicine, I don't have such bad menstrual cramps every month." Su Rou nodded, her face still showing a bit of excitement. "I'm pregnant! With your baby!"

Su Yuze looked at her amusedly. "Of course it's mine. Whose else could it be!"

"Hehe..." Su Rou continued eating the noodles with a big smile. In a good mood, even the noodles tasted extraordinarily delicious!

"You're not allowed to go to work tomorrow." Su Yuze said, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Why?" Su Rou was confused.

"The doctor said so." Su Yuze brought out the doctor. "The doctor said your physical condition is very unstable. If you faint a few more times, the baby might not be able to be saved!"

Su Rou was frightened. "Really?"

"Really! Do you think I'd joke about our baby?" Su Yuze raised his eyebrows and said, "Just stop working for the time being. The radiation from the computer can also harm the baby. You don't want your baby to be born with deformities, do you?"

Su Rou gave him a disdainful look. "Do you have to curse your own child like that?"

"Hey, be good. I'll also stay at home often to accompany you two." Now the company and everything else didn't matter. What was important was her and the baby in her belly.
