Chapter 461: Very nutritious, eat less
Yan Jiecheng was left behind by the third aunt to guard the cart. Although he wanted to go with them, he finally chose to obey after seeing the determined look in the third aunt's eyes.
He stood at the entrance of the hospital, his eyes closely following the backs of He Yuzhu and Yu Li, silently praying in his heart that everything would be safe.
In the obstetrics and gynecology office, the doctor was looking down at the medical records. When he heard the door being pushed open, he looked up and saw He Yuzhu and Yu Li, who were sweating profusely and looked anxious.
He stood up quickly, motioned for the two to calm down, and then began a careful inspection.
"The pregnant woman is fine and in good health."
After the doctor finished the examination, he said to the two of them, with a somewhat relaxed tone, "However, her belly does look a little big now. She needs to pay attention to controlling her diet later, otherwise it may be difficult to give birth."
After hearing the doctor's words, He Yuzhu finally felt relieved, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, my wife has been complaining of stomachache just now. Is it really nothing?" There was still a hint of uncertainty and worry in his voice.
The doctor smiled at He Yuzhu, understanding his nervousness as a husband, and patiently explained:
"Don't worry, this may be a normal reaction during pregnancy. It may be that the fetus is pressing on some nerves during its growth, so she feels pain. As long as she pays attention to rest and diet, there will be no big problem."
Then the doctor turned to look at Yu Li and gave her a reassuring look, as if to say, "Look, your husband really cares about you."
......
The tense muscles on He Yuzhu's face gradually relaxed after the doctor said, "Everything is normal, no need to worry," and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
However, this relief did not last long. His eyes began to become deep and his brows furrowed slightly. He seemed to be sorting out every detail of what happened today in his mind. Those subtle illogicalities gradually emerged in his mind, casting a shadow on his mood again.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Yu Haitang. In those eyes, there was not only the trust and care he had for her for a long time, but also some indescribable doubt and scrutiny.
Yu Haitang was startled by the sudden gaze and trembled slightly. Her cheeks turned red unconsciously and her hands were twisted together unconsciously, revealing her inner panic and helplessness.
Yu Li stood aside, her eyes moving between the two of them, and keenly captured this subtle change.
She frowned slightly and thought to herself that her sister's hesitant look and the flicker in her eyes were undoubtedly telling her that things were far from as simple as they seemed.
Yu Li's movements were gentle yet powerful. She patted Yu Haitang's shoulders lightly with just the right amount of force, which conveyed her understanding and support without adding any extra burden to her sister.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and encouragement, as if saying, "It's okay, everything will be fine." Then, she turned around and faced He Yuzhu with a warm smile on her face, which contained some thoughtful consideration.
"Yuzhu, look, Haitang is fine now, and the doctor said she needs to rest. I think I'll let her stay at my house tonight, so she can have a quiet environment to rest and adjust her mood."
Yu Li's words were gentle but firm, revealing her deep concern for her sister. She also took He Yuzhu's feelings into consideration and tried her best to make the proposal sound reasonable.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something. His brows knitted slightly, and his face was filled with complex emotions - both disappointment at Haitang for deceiving him and helplessness at his current situation.
However, when Yu Li proposed this solution, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, an opportunity to temporarily ease the embarrassment and leave room for both himself and Yu Haitang.
So, he slowly raised his head, refocused his gaze on Yu Li's face, and nodded in agreement. "Sister, you are right, Haitang really needs a good rest. Then I'll trouble you to take care of her tonight."
He Yuzhu's words revealed a bit of gratitude, but also a hint of bitterness. He understood that this decision meant that he needed to temporarily put aside his doubts and dissatisfaction and give each other some time and space to deal with their emotions.
While agreeing, He Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he also secretly made up his mind that after the matter with He Yushui was over tomorrow, he would definitely ask Yu Haitang why she did this today.
......
A few people dragged their slightly tired but relaxed steps and slowly walked into the familiar and warm alley of the quadrangle. It was late at night and the moonlight was bright, covering the ancient courtyard with a layer of soft silver gauze.
When Yan Bugui heard the footsteps, he hurried out of the house, still holding the old but warm kerosene lamp in his hand. The dim light reflected on his slightly wrinkled but kind face.
"Oh, you guys are finally back. I was so worried." Yan Bugui said as he walked quickly forward, his eyes full of concern. "Is Haitang okay? Seeing you guys in such a hurry, I feel like I have a rabbit in my heart."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relieved smile, and gently patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder:
"Uncle, don't worry. Haitang is fine. She was a little frightened today. I asked her to rest at my place for a night. I will bring her back tomorrow to thank everyone."
He paused, as if remembering something, and said, "I still have a pound of hard candy at home. When I pick up Haitang tomorrow, I will give it to you, uncle, to sweeten your mouth and bring good luck."
Yu Li stood aside, glanced at Yan Bugui, and said with a hint of gratitude and apology, "Dad, I'm really sorry for bothering you today."
Yu Li spoke softly, with a look of apology and gratitude on her face, "Haitang encountered something today and was quite frightened. She insisted on sleeping with me tonight, only then would she feel at ease.
Jie Cheng can only trouble you to let him go and meet Jie Fang tonight. Hai Tang is very tired now, so we won’t bother her any more and will go back to the house first.”
