After Su Rou safely passed the first three - month risky period of pregnancy, Su Yuze took her to the hospital for a prenatal check - up. As two soon - to - be parents, this first prenatal check - up was a precious experience for both of them.
"Are you very nervous? Your palms are sweating," Su Yuze held Su Rou's hand and felt the dampness on it. He couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What are you nervous about?"
"I don't know," she replied. Maybe it was because she was going to be a mother for the first time that she was quite nervous about this kind of thing. She was worried about how well the baby was growing and whether there would be any problems with the baby.
Seeing this, Su Yuze couldn't help but ask, "Xiaorou'er, tell me honestly. Are you so nervous because you're worried that the baby in your belly isn't mine?"
"..." Su Rou gave him a disdainful look. "If it's not yours, is it a ghost's?"
Su Yuze couldn't help but chuckle and pinched Su Rou's nose. "What are you nervous about? Your husband is here. What problem can't be solved?"
"Um..."
Su Rou tightened her grip on Su Yuze's hand, and the two walked into the hospital together. The hospital had already arranged the best obstetrician for Su Rou. When Su Rou walked in, a middle - aged female doctor looked at her kindly. "Such a young mother."
"What? Is there a problem?" Su Rou asked nervously. Was it inappropriate for her to have a baby at such a young age?
"Oh, don't be nervous. I didn't mean anything else. I was just sighing," the doctor explained. Nowadays, most girls paid more attention to their figures. Even if they were married, they might not be willing to have children. Girls as young and beautiful as Su Rou were even rarer, so the doctor sighed.
Su Yuze didn't really care what the doctor thought. He was more concerned about Su Rou's physical condition and the health of the baby in her belly. "Doctor, please check her first."
The doctor nodded and didn't say much. She directly asked Su Rou to lie on the hospital bed and then applied a transparent ointment on Su Rou's belly. It was soft and cool, and it felt quite comfortable on the belly. Su Yuze stood beside Su Rou. Just his presence gave her an invisible sense of security.
The female doctor moved an instrument back and forth on Su Rou's belly while keeping her eyes fixed on the computer in front of her. Su Rou couldn't see anything lying on the bed. She tugged at Su Yuze's hand. "Go and take a look."
Su Yuze walked behind the doctor's chair and looked at the computer screen. All he saw was a black mass. He couldn't tell where the baby's head or bottom was.
"Did you see anything?" Su Rou asked excitedly while still lying on the bed.
"Um..." Su Yuze pondered.
"What do you mean?" What did his expression imply?
"I don't understand."
"..."
The female doctor saw the look of confusion on Su Yuze's usually shrewd face and burst out laughing. "The baby is only three months old now. It surely hasn't taken shape yet."
"Let me show you," the female doctor pointed to a black spot on the computer screen. "This is the baby's head... and these are the hands and feet. Don't they look alike?"
"..." Look alike? He thought it was just a black shadow!
Seeing that Su Yuze couldn't tell anything, Su Rou was a bit speechless. "Doctor, let me take a look."
The doctor turned the computer slightly towards Su Rou and repeated what she had just said. "Can you feel it?" the female doctor asked lovingly.
"Yeah." Looking at the black mass, Su Rou could tell, or at least she could imagine. Such a tiny thing looked so cute.
After the check - up, the doctor told them some matters that needed attention. Pregnant women were different from normal people and had many taboos, especially Su Yuze's child, who needed even more careful attention.
Su Yuze listened to the female doctor's words carefully and took them all down. At last, he asked an important question. "The doctor said before that we shouldn't have sex during the first three - month risky period. Can we after three months?"
Su Rou was putting on her shoes. When she heard Su Yuze ask this question, she was extremely embarrassed. She quickly put on her shoes and rushed over, pinching Su Yuze's big hand hard. How could he be so shameless as to ask such a question?
The female doctor didn't feel embarrassed. After all, this was a question that all soon - to - be fathers were concerned about. Well... really all of them! "It's recommended not to have sex during the first three months and the last three months. During the middle period, as long as you pay a little attention and don't be too rough, it's okay."
"Okay, thank you," Su Yuze said with a gentle smile as he thanked the female doctor.
Su Rou's face was so red that it seemed to be on fire. How could this happen?
Seeing her blushing cheeks, Su Yuze found it quite funny. "There's no one else here. Why are you so shy?" They had done everything, and they even had a baby. She was still so easily embarrassed. It was really cute.
"Couldn't you... ask secretly?"
"This isn't something to be ashamed of," Su Yuze said helplessly. "Wait, your shoelace isn't tied properly."
Su Yuze lowered his head slightly and saw that Su Rou's shoelace was loose. She could easily trip over it while walking. As he squatted down to tie her shoelace, he said seriously, "Xiaorou'er, don't do this next time. You're not alone now."
"I know."
The female doctor watched Su Yuze squatting on the ground to tie Su Rou's shoelace. There was a smile in her eyes. This CEO didn't seem as serious as the rumors said. From the way he tied his wife's shoelace, one could tell that he was truly a good man.
After making sure that the shoelaces wouldn't come loose, Su Yuze took Su Rou's little hand and left the hospital.
"Do you think what name we should give our baby?" Su Rou asked.
"It's still early."
"It's not early... It seems that we forgot to ask the doctor whether it's a boy or a girl just now," Su Rou frowned slightly. How could she forget such an important thing?
Su Yuze said softly, "It's not that the doctor forgot. It's the hospital's rule not to tell us the baby's gender."
"Why?"
"Xiaorou'er, do you know how many baby girls are abandoned before they're even born?" Su Yuze said. "The corrupt ideas from the feudal society still make the phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters quite common. That's why the hospital won't tell us the baby's gender."
Su Rou nodded. She understood. There were indeed many abandoned babies nowadays. "Do you prefer a boy?"
"Me...," Su Yuze gave a faint smile. "I prefer you more."
