Chapter 690 The Muddleheaded Couple (2)
This time, it was the female doctor who was stunned. Her eyes scanned Mu Tingfeng’s body several times and asked in return, “You don’t know?”
Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened as he shook his head.
The female doctor sucked in a breath of cold air and turned to look at Zhao Youlin, who was also confused. She said speechlessly, “You don’t know either, right?”
Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched, and she said dryly, “I don’t.”
In her heart, she couldn’t help but want to complain. What did she not know? If she knew everything, why would she need to come to the hospital for an examination?
The female doctor suddenly lost her temper. She looked at the couple, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “You have a child. It’s been more than two months. Don’t you feel anything at all?”
“Huh?!” The two of them were stunned when they heard that. After a long while, they seemed to understand something. Zhao Youlin suddenly stood up from the chair. However, because she stood up too abruptly, her stomach hurt again, and she almost fell down.
Mu Tingfeng finally came back to his senses. When he saw this scene, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He said anxiously, “Are you hurt? Are you feeling unwell?”
The female doctor was also frightened by Zhao Youlin’s sudden action. She could not help but yell again, “Sit properly and don’t mess around. You had a fight while pregnant. I don’t know if anything has happened to the baby. You’re so reckless. Do you not want to have this child anymore?”
Zhao Youlin sweated profusely. Did this female doctor eat dynamite? She had such a bad temper!
“I’m fine. It’s just that I was a little agitated all of a sudden. I’m much better now,” Zhao Youlin comforted Mu Tingfeng and sat back in the chair, obediently waiting for the doctor to continue.
When she saw that she was so cooperative, the female doctor could not continue scolding them. She looked at the two of them with a serious face and frowned. “You really didn’t know anything?” The couple nodded indiscernible, like children who had done something wrong.
The female doctor took a deep breath. She really did not know how to describe the confused couple. “Don’t you feel that you’re a little different from before?”
“Uh…” Zhao Youlin thought carefully and said in a low voice, “If I really have to say it, my appet.i.te seems to be much stronger than before. Does this count? But I don’t have nausea or vomiting. Wouldn’t that usually be the case when I’m pregnant?”
The female doctor rolled her eyes. “There is no ‘usual case’ when it comes to pregnancy. Some have it, others don’t. Some have it sooner, others later. Generally speaking, pregnant women usually have vomiting symptoms at two or three months, but a small number of people have vomiting symptoms at a later time. It’s not unusual for them to have vomiting symptoms at four or five months, or even five or six months.” Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were dumbfounded when they heard that. They still could not believe that they were really pregnant just because the doctor said so!
After being lectured by the female doctor for a long time, Zhao Youlin took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and lay on the bed behind the curtains to rest.
Mu Tingfeng sat by the side of the bed and held her hand. The two of them were silent. Until now, they still could not believe that they really had a child. Moreover, this child had already been with them for more than two months. However, the two of them, as parents, had known nothing about it.
Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief. She felt the pain in her stomach gradually ebbing away after taking the medicine. Only then did she turn her head to look at Mu Tingfeng as if she had sensed something. She frowned and said, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem to be very happy. Don’t you want to have this child?” Mu Tingfeng’s entire body trembled. He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He grabbed Zhao Youlin’s hand tightly and said, “If you don’t want this child, you can take advantage of the fact that the child hasn’t grown up yet…” Zhao Youlin’s expression suddenly changed. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the person by the bed. She shouted coldly, “Mu Tingfeng, what did you say? If you have the guts, say it again!”
Mu Tingfeng indeed didn’t say it again, but his evasive gaze had already betrayed his true feelings.
Zhao Youlin was so angry that she almost died. She held her breath in her chest and resisted the urge to slap him. She asked coldly, “Why? Why would you say that all of a sudden? Of everyone else, you wanted this child the most.”
Mu Tingfeng’s face was gloomy, and he didn’t say anything. Zhao Youlin was already full of anger. Seeing him like this, she became even angrier. “Speak! If you don’t speak, we’ll divorce!”
Hearing the word divorce, Mu Tingfeng’s face turned green. He sighed and finally voiced his true thoughts. “I don’t want you to be like Xiao Qi.”
“Like Xiao Qi how?”
“It’s dangerous to have a child. It could get you hurt.” And he didn’t want her to get hurt.
Zhao Youlin was stunned again. After understanding Mu Tingfeng’s thoughts, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Could this guy be any more awkward? Every time, he would confuse her to no end.
“Just for that, you would abandon our child? Have you ever thought that it might be obedient and cute, like Joy? It’s an entire human, in my body.”
Of course, Mu Tingfeng knew, but to him, “You’re more important.” If this child was going to put Zhao Youlin in danger, then he would rather not have it.
Hearing Mu Tingfeng’s words, Zhao Youlin opened her mouth, but she could not say a word of reprimand. Her heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. In the end, she only replied, “If you can be so heartless, I will not stand for it. This was her and Mu Tingfeng’s child. It was a child that she had decided on with great difficulty. She could not give up on him so easily, just because of an uncertain future.
Mu Tingfeng didn’t look surprised, as if he had expected Zhao Youlin to say that, but there was a trace of helplessness and worry in his eyes.
“But…” Zhao Youlin’s sudden voice made Mu Tingfeng raise his head in puzzlement. “But I can promise you that I will be fine after giving birth to this child. The child will also be fine.”
Mu Tingfeng was stunned. He looked into Zhao Youlin’s clear and bright eyes and his face finally looked better. He lowered his head and moved closer to Zhao Youlin. He planted a precious and soft kiss on her forehead. “Okay, I’ll be with you every step of the way. But, you have to promise me one more thing.” “What?”
“You have to take great care of yourself from now. You can’t let the heroic cop in you take action again.” Zhao Youlin looked at Mu Tingfeng’s uncharacteristically concerned look. She couldn’t help but smile and nod her head obediently.
Mu Tingfeng’s expression couldn’t help but soften up. He hesitated for a moment and reached out to touch Zhao Youlin’s belly. Zhao Youlin was stunned, but she didn’t stop him. Instead, she held his hand when he was about to pull his hand back.
