Chapter 567
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Yexun saw Su Hongchen standing outside with breakfast in hand.
“I knew you’d be late getting up, so I came to bring breakfast for my sister. She’s already hungry,” Su Hongchen said, raising an eyebrow and giving Jiang Yexun a disdainful look.
Jiang Yexun awkwardly scratched his nose, not daring to retort.
Brother-in-law is always right. If he said anything out of line, it’d be like asking for trouble.
“Brother, why are you here so early?” Su Xiaoxiao, sitting on the edge of the bed, greeted with a bright smile.
“Wouldn’t want you to go hungry,” Su Hongchen said, his earlier irritation toward Jiang Yexun gone, replaced with a soft, affectionate tone.
He placed the soy milk, fried dough sticks, and buns on the table, then waved for Su Xiaoxiao to come over.
Su Xiaoxiao eagerly hopped over, sitting at the table.
“How did you sleep last night? Did you feel anything different?” Su Hongchen asked as he carefully picked up a bun and placed it in her bowl.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No, it feels just like usual, nothing’s changed.”
She couldn’t exactly say that every time she tried to get intimate with Jiang Yexun, she ended up vomiting so badly that she felt like she was going to pass out.
Su Hongchen gave her a deep, meaningful look but didn’t say anything else. Then, his eyes shifted to Jiang Yexun, warning him with a glare.
Jiang Yexun immediately straightened his back. “Brother, I promise nothing inappropriate has happened. Xiaoxiao slept through the night without any issues. Don’t worry, if anything’s wrong, I’ll let you know immediately.”
Hearing this, Su Hongchen was slightly reassured.
After breakfast, the three of them left the room together.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned in toward Jiang Yexun and whispered, “You’re acting even more nervous around my brother than usual.”
Jiang Yexun felt a lump in his throat, then gave her a pitiful glance.
Even though the pregnancy had happened unexpectedly, he still felt like a sinner in both families.
Unless Xiaoxiao’s health fully recovered and there was no harm to her body, not only would her parents not forgive him, but he would never forgive himself either.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed the sorrow in Jiang Yexun’s eyes and secretly stuck out her tongue.
In this day and age, it wasn’t uncommon for people to skip early pregnancy checks. Most women didn’t realize they were pregnant until they missed a couple of periods. Because of this, the maternity department wasn’t very crowded at the hospital.
Su Xiaoxiao was still early in her pregnancy, and the doctor had initially suggested she wait another two weeks for the checkup. However, both Su Hongchen and Jiang Yexun insisted, so she ended up just having a blood test.
After about two hours, the test results came back. The doctor carefully reviewed the report and then smiled, saying, “Congratulations, Su, you’re really pregnant.”
“Doctor, how is my wife? Is there anything we need to pay special attention to?” Jiang Yexun asked anxiously.
“From the test results, everything looks good. You can tell you two are well-off. However, while it’s important to nourish the mother, be careful if the baby gets too large. The delivery will be harder, and there’s more risk. You must make sure she eats well to ensure the baby gets the nutrition it needs. But you should also be careful not to overdo it. If you’re worried, you can come back every month for regular checkups to monitor the health of both the mother and the baby,” the doctor advised patiently.
Jiang Yexun quickly nodded, “Our home isn’t nearby, but when we return, I’ll make sure my wife gets checked monthly.”
“That’s good to hear. There’s nothing to worry about, so don’t stress,” the doctor said, smiling more warmly after sensing that he was sincere.
When they left the examination room, Su Hongchen, who had been watching Jiang Yexun carefully support his sister, almost couldn’t contain his grin. But as he thought about it, his face darkened, and he shot Jiang Yexun a cold look.
“My sister’s so young, and now she’s pregnant. Are you happy about this?” Su Hongchen asked, his tone icy.
