Chapter 83 Pregnancy

Jiang Man sat alone on the soft sofa in the living room. The TV screen flickered with colorful lights. In the lively variety show, the host made witty remarks and the guests laughed continuously. But all of this was like being separated by a layer of frosted glass, unable to truly enter Jiang Man's world.

Her gaze was fixed blankly on the screen, but her thoughts, like a wild horse, galloped wildly along a chaotic track. Her heart was a tangled mess of worries, tightly binding her and making it hard for her to breathe.

Familiar and steady footsteps echoed in the hallway, their rhythm like a stabilizing force in her heart.

Immediately following was the crisp sound of a key being inserted into the lock, and with a "click," the door slowly opened.

Seeing Jiang Man's absent-minded appearance, Qin Yishen's heart tightened with worry.

He gently put down his briefcase, afraid of making a sound that might disturb Jiang Man, and then quietly walked behind her. He embraced her tenderly as if protecting a rare treasure, his voice low and full of concern, as if afraid of disturbing something: "What's wrong?"

The voice was like a gentle spring breeze, carrying endless tenderness, trying to dispel the gloom in Jiang Man's heart.

Just as Jiang Man was about to speak, a strong sense of nausea surged over her like a tidal wave without warning. In an instant, her face turned ashen white, and her once rosy lips lost all color.

She hurriedly covered her mouth and staggered towards the toilet.

Qin Yishen was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that his face changed drastically, his eyes filled with fear and worry.

Jiang Man was seen retching violently in the toilet, her body trembling uncontrollably, like a delicate flower being ravaged by a storm, but she couldn't vomit anything.

His heart clenched as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain unbearable.

He rushed to Jiang Man's side, his eyes filled with anxiety and heartache.

He gently patted Jiang Man's back, his hands seemingly possessing magic, trying to ease her pain, his tone filled with undisguised worry: "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Every word was filled with his deep concern for Jiang Man. Jiang Man paused, weakly straightened up, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. Tears welled up in her eyes, shimmering under the light, as if reflecting her fragile heart at that moment.

In fact, she already had some vague guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to be sure. This guess was like a sword hanging over her heart, making her both expectant and afraid.

Then, in a weak and trembling voice, she said, "I think I have an upset stomach."

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Qin Yishen felt as if his heart was being pierced by countless needles, and his heart was about to shatter into countless pieces.

He held Jiang Man's hand tightly. Her hands were warm and strong, as if they were trying to convey endless strength through the grip. His tone was firm and unquestionable: "I'll go to the hospital with you first thing tomorrow morning. We can't delay."

Jiang Man nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and reliance, like a chick pecking at rice. In this vulnerable moment, Qin Yishen's companionship and reassuring words made her feel incredibly at ease.

Jiang Man lay in bed, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. In the darkness, her eyes were wide open as she stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Qin Yishen held her tightly, and could clearly feel her unease and slight trembling.

Outside the window, moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, scattering across the floor like fine silk, as if covering it with a layer of silver frost. The silent night seemed to await the answer that was about to be revealed, and every moment of tranquility was amplified by Jiang Man's inner unease.

The next morning, sunlight, like golden threads, gently streamed through the window and bathed the two of them. Qin Yishen woke up early and looked at Jiang Man, who was still fast asleep. Her peaceful sleeping face filled him with tenderness.

He gently woke Jiang Man, his voice as tender as a whisper: "Baby, it's time to get up and go to the hospital." The two quickly washed up and hurried to the hospital. Along the way, Qin Yishen held Jiang Man's hand tightly; the warmth of his palm seemed like a silent promise, giving Jiang Man strength. Looking at Qin Yishen's profile as he focused on driving, Jiang Man's unease lessened slightly.

The hospital was bustling with people, noisy and chaotic, and the smell of disinfectant permeated every inch of the air.

Qin Yishen accompanied Jiang Man through registration, queuing, and examinations, staying by her side at every step.

Jiang Man lay on the examination bed, feeling both nervous and expectant. It was as if the whole world had stopped turning, leaving only the sound of her own rapid heartbeat.

Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force. Qin Yishen kept reassuring her, "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

However, he himself was also feeling uneasy, and a hint of tension was revealed in his eyes.

Finally, the test results came back. The doctor smiled and said to them, "Congratulations, you're pregnant."

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Jiang Man and Qin Yishen were both stunned, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief, as if they had heard the most incredible fairy tale.

Jiang Man's eyes instantly welled up with tears, which flowed like a burst dam. These were tears of joy and happiness, carrying her expectations for the new life and her hopes for the future.

Qin Yishen was taken aback at first, then a bright smile bloomed on his face. The smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling all the gloom in their hearts.

He hugged Jiang Man tightly, his voice trembling with excitement: "We're going to be mom and dad!"

That smile, like a blooming flower, overflowed with boundless happiness and illuminated the whole world.

Stepping out of the hospital, the sunlight was exceptionally bright, like countless golden sprites dancing in the air.

A gentle breeze carried the delicate fragrance of flowers, the unique scent of spring, as if celebrating their joy. Jiang Man and Qin Yishen strolled hand in hand down the street. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope for the future, making the whole world seem incredibly beautiful.

Qin Yishen looked at Jiang Man with eyes full of love and tenderness, a gaze that seemed to melt Jiang Man's heart: "From now on, I will work even harder to give you and the baby the happiest home."

Jiang Man nodded slightly, leaned on Qin Yishen's shoulder, and whispered, "I believe you."

The voice was like a soft feather, gently landing on Qin Yishen's heart.

Once home, Qin Yishen was like a wound-up machine, bustling about.

He helped Jiang Man to the sofa and carefully covered her with a blanket, his movements so gentle that it was as if Jiang Man were the most fragile treasure in the world.

Then, he began to tidy up the room, clearing away all the clutter that might trip Jiang Man, leaving no corner untouched.

He then placed Jiang Man's favorite snacks on the coffee table, arranging them neatly so she could easily access them.

"Yishen, stop what you're doing. I have something to discuss with you."
