"No," the butler shook his head. The Young Mistress was still young and did not understand the implications of their words.
"We need to give you a physical examination to see if you are suitable for pregnancy."
"Is there a suitability for pregnancy?" Jian Yunong asked, puzzled. "What if I'm not suitable? Are you going to kick me out?"
The butler: "..."
The butler felt awkward. "You should have confidence in yourself."
"I have a lot of confidence in myself. The ones who lack confidence are you all."
Jian Yunong felt a hint of displeasure.
She usually appeared soft and easy to talk to, as if anyone could bully her. In reality, only Huo Jincheng and Mist Shenshen truly understood that Jian Yunong could sometimes be sharp enough to leave others speechless.
At this moment, the butler couldn't help but wipe away nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
"Madam is also concerned about you. After all, you have some psychological issues, and a comprehensive check-up would be beneficial for having a baby."
As soon as the topic of Jian Yunong's psychological issues came up, she instantly lost her temper.
After the examination, Jian Yunong did not take a car home. She made an excuse to visit Le Yi, who had been in the hospital for bed rest during her pregnancy.
Le Yi did not look too well; the baby was particularly troublesome. When Jian Yunong saw Le Yi, she noticed that Dr. Le looked even thinner than before.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at work today?" Le Yi knew that Jian Yunong worked at Third Brother's company.
"Mother-in-law asked me to come for a physical examination."
"Examination? What kind of examination?"
"Pre-pregnancy check-up."
Le Yi looked at Jian Yunong's belly, which was still flat. Jian Yunong understood her meaning, "Not so soon."
Le Yi smiled, "You and Third Brother just got married. To be honest, there's really no need to have children too early."
Jian Yunong felt a bit shy, "He thinks the same way."
Jian Yunong had a charming and cute demeanor, and Le Yi felt a bit dazed, "Do you hate me?"
"Hate?"
"I was the one who... arranged for you to marry Third Brother."
"Don't think too much about it. The most important thing for you now is to raise children."
"Isn't Eldest Brother going to hold a wedding with Bai Ru soon?"
"Maybe."
Otherwise, why would Eldest Brother be in such a hurry to get divorced?
Le Yi's eyes revealed a coldness. "Bai Ru is really sick."
Jian Yunong remained silent; she wasn't very familiar with Bai Ru. But one thing was certain: Bai Ru played a very disgraceful role as the mistress, intruding into someone else's marriage.
Even if the other person's marriage was unhappy, and even if it was under the banner of true love, Jian Yunong still believed that a mistress was just a mistress.
Just like pregnancy is either being pregnant or not; there is no such thing as being a little bit pregnant.
"Doesn't Big Brother know about Bai Ru's past with your Third Brother?"
This was what Jian Yunong found most puzzling.
Someone like Huo Liangchen, warm and steady, had plenty of good options.
"Of course he knows. Maybe... Big Brother chose Bai Ru precisely because he knows? After all, Third Brother didn't win Bai Ru over."
Although later on, everyone thought it was Huo Jincheng who dumped Bai Ru.
But Le Yi and Jian Yunong both knew the real story: Bai Ru disregarded the seriously injured Huo Jincheng and lived freely abroad, pursuing her own happiness.
"Third Brother doesn't owe Bai Ru anything. You don't need to feel inferior in front of her," Le Yi wanted to be Jian Yunong's support. "Big Brother probably won't be staying in Nancheng for long."
Jian Yunong smiled. "I know."
After Jian Yunong left, Le Yi received a package.
She opened it, and it was the divorce agreement sent by Yi Nansheng.
How many letters has it been this month?
At first, Le Yi felt a bit sad, but now, her heart was completely calm.
She tore the agreement into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
Yi Nansheng believed that this child was not his, yet she insisted on giving birth to it.
This child seemed to be the last lifeline in their marriage.
Le Yi had to hold on tightly.
In the afternoon, Jian Yunong returned to the company.
Huo Jincheng called her into his office.
"Where did you go this morning?"
"I went to the hospital for a check-up."
Huo Jincheng frowned, "What kind of check-up?"
"What else could it be? A pregnancy test."
"Do you really want children?" Huo Jincheng felt that his mother's hand seemed to stretch longer and longer.
Could it be that after Grandpa passed away, the lack of one person in this family made his mother's controlling nature grow stronger?
Jian Yunong remained silent.
Huo Jincheng waved to her, signaling her to come over.
Jian Yunong was pulled into his arms, sitting on his lap.
"I think you're still a child," Huo Jincheng said, kissing her cheek. His silly daughter-in-law had not yet learned how to be a good wife, so how could she suddenly become a mother?
Huo Jincheng wanted her to fall completely in love with him.
He wanted to spend a few more years in their world together.
"You know... why is it that we, who have a marriage contract, only got to know each other now?" Huo Jincheng sighed. "How come I never saw you before? It would have been great if we had met earlier."
Jian Yunong snorted. "You think too highly of yourself. Even if we had met earlier, you wouldn't have noticed me."
Huo Jincheng burst into laughter.
It was quite possible.
Jian Yunong laughed along. "I always thought that marrying you was because you got into an accident and knocked your brain out."
Huo Jincheng was really about to be driven crazy by her.
"I'm not crazy. It's better than your brain never being good."
"But looking at someone whose brain has never been good seems to prove that yours isn't either."
"…"
When it came to bickering with his silly wife, Huo Jincheng had hardly ever won.
So, he simply sealed her lips with his, rendering her speechless.
Jian Yunong leaned against him, her face flushed.
Using this method to silence someone when they disagreed was really annoying.
"Mr. Huo, you are harassing me, do you know that?"
"Yeah, I am. So what? I just like you, this married little wife."
In terms of integrity or anything like that, Jian Yunong was no match for Third Young Master Huo.
She leaned against him and took a deep breath, "Honey, I will work hard to be a good wife and a good mother."
Huo Jincheng felt his heart soften, "Mm."
"Although you see me as a child, I want a child of our own." Jian Yunong tilted her head and kissed Huo Jincheng's chin. "I think having a child wouldn't be bad. You would definitely be a good dad."
Huo Jincheng felt a bit proud. "I never doubted that. But... I still want to spend a few more years just the two of us."
The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened. "What about your career plans if you have a child?"
This reminder struck Jian Yunong.
She immediately stood up from his lap.
"You’re right!"
Huo Jincheng shook his head in disbelief.
It turned out that spending time alone with him was not as appealing as her career development.
Jian Yunong quickly pecked him on the cheek and returned to her workstation.
Secretary Jiang couldn't help but glance at Jian Yunong a few more times.
It seemed that her lipstick was a bit smudged.
