Shangxin had wanted to object to his suggestion, but her objections were ineffective.
She was still dragged to the hospital.
For the entire journey there, she leaned against the car door and did not speak.
Tang Yuansi seemed to be pondering over something too, as he sat still in the car and did not speak.
Silence.
More silence.
The two people on the backseat of the car seemed to be silently competing with each other.
The chauffeur in the driver’s seat was on the verge of getting suffocated by the low pressure in the car!
As he took a glance at the road in front of him, he cleared his throat and broke the silence by speaking up first, “President Tang, there seems to be an accident in front. I am afraid that there will be a jam if we continue to go straight, should we go by another road?”
This is the fastest route to the hospital.
As such, the chauffeur did not dare to decide on changing to another route on his own and had inquired respectfully.
Before Tang Yuansi could reply, Shangxin, who was struggling to stay silent for the entire journey as she leaned against the car door, spoke first, “Even the heavens think that there isn’t a need to go to the hospital. Can we go home now?”
Tang Yuansi cast a glance at her and spoke, “Every road leads to Rome, let’s change to another route since there is a jam on this road.”
He seemed to realize that she had a little bit of a tantrum after he finished speaking. Just when he was about to reach out and hug her, she had shrunk her body towards the car door.
She happened to be in a position that was out of reach for him.
Tang Yuansi stared at his empty hand and uttered helplessly, “Xin’er…”
“I know that you dislike going to the hospital, but let’s go there just this one time for the baby, okay?”
Shangxin was a premature baby.
Furthermore, her mother had sunk into a vegetative state after she was born. As such, the hospital was the place that she had frequented the most when she was young, and the people that she had seen the most often were doctors who wore white robes.
It resulted in her being afraid the moment she had to go to the hospital.
The reason she had the courage to head to the hospital alone for a pregnancy check when she was overseas was probably that she was totally stunned by the fact that she was pregnant.
Now that her emotions were stable, her fear and rejection toward the hospital reappeared again.
Shangxin revealed a struggling expression when she heard him mentioning the baby. Immediately after, she bit her lip and leaned towards him.
Seeing that he still could not reach out for her, a few seconds later, she s.h.i.+fted even closer to him until she was in his embrace.
As she laid against his chest, she clutched his s.h.i.+rt with both hands and took in the familiar scent on his body. Gradually, she managed to calm herself down.
Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital.
As it was Tang Yuansi’s first time as a new father, his nervousness was definitely on par with Shangxin’s fear towards the hospital.
Holding onto her hands, he tried his best to stay composed as they walked toward the gynecology department… In the end, they lost their thoughts and made their way to the urology department instead.
When he met Shangxin’s confused gaze, he cleared his throat awkwardly.
“I am not nervous. I have never been to the urology department, and so I came here to take a look. Alright, let’s go back.”
“…”
In the end, it was the a.s.sistant who helped them to locate the gynecology department.
Tang Yuansi stood outside the door and waited for Shangxin to finish her checkup.
He didn’t seem as though he was accompanying his newly pregnant partner for a checkup with that anxious expression of his. Instead, he appeared to be waiting for his partner who was in labor.
The people who pa.s.sed him in the corridor noticed that his face was so ghastly pale from nervousness, and he looked like he was about to faint at any moment. Someone even asked him out of concern, “Brother, is your wife giving birth inside? Hang on for a bit, who will take care of both mother and child if you faint?”
Stunned, Tang Yuansi explained that he was merely accompanying his newly pregnant partner for a checkup. The next second, the people around him suddenly turned around and stared at him.
Those expressions were strangely fishy.
They were all trying to hold in their laughter and did not dare to laugh out loud.
“…”
“President Tang, the result of the checkup is out!”
