Hearing Boss Huang’s words, Leng Zhiruo was greatly startled.
As a wealthy person, it was perfectly normal to understand some health and medical knowledge. After all, the rich had almost nothing left to pursue in terms of material possessions, except for spiritual pursuits and how to enjoy their material wealth for longer.
Moreover, as a woman, maintaining lasting beauty was the most important topic.
Leng Zhiruo certainly knew that when a woman’s endocrine system became imbalanced and hormone secretion was abnormal, these hormones would cause various changes in the body. Obesity, wrinkles, and weakness were all basically derived from this.
Therefore, when Leng Zhiruo heard that her endocrine system might be having problems, she was immediately startled and began to wonder if there were any recent issues with her body.
As soon as she thought about it, beads of sweat covered Leng Zhiruo’s forehead.
“What’s wrong? Is it serious?” Seeing Leng Zhiruo’s expression, Huang He was also surprised. His sister-in-law was someone who never flustered, even if he had “eaten” her sister, she wouldn’t have broken out in a cold sweat so quickly.
“Brother-in-law, my body might really have a problem… I haven’t had my period for nearly 4 months!” Leng Zhiruo wiped the sweat from her forehead, her expression terrified.
“Four months without it?” Huang He was also shocked. Thinking back, every time he had been intimate in the past few months, it seemed to go very smoothly, unlike before when he would occasionally be “blocked by a good friend.”
Initially, Huang He had just thought they had coincidentally missed it. Now, it seemed truly terrifying.
“Then why didn’t you go to the hospital sooner? You should have realized something was wrong after the first month!” Huang He said anxiously.
“That’s because four months ago, when we went to the hospital together… the doctor injected me with a lot of medication, saying it was to promote internal changes to adapt to the fetus’s arrival. These medications would affect my cycle, so I initially thought I was just experiencing a normal reaction to the drugs. I called the doctor, and they said these were normal reactions, so I didn’t pay much attention!”
“But now that I think about it, it’s been four months, and the effects of the medication should have worn off by now!”
“Besides the issue with your cycle, have you had any other physical discomforts?” Huang He quickly asked again.
“Yes, my appetite has become particularly poor. My digestive system might also have problems. I don’t want to touch many foods I used to love, and I feel like vomiting if I even smell them. Instead, I find myself craving things I wouldn’t normally eat, like pig liver and pig hearts!” As Leng Zhiruo spoke, her fear grew, and she felt as if she had contracted some incurable disease, slumping into Huang He’s arms.
“Then stop panting! I’m taking you to the hospital right now!” Boss Huang picked up his wife, ignoring the personal trainer standing by, and prepared to rush out.
“Um…” The personal trainer, who had been listening silently to their conversation, hesitated before speaking up, “Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang, have you considered the possibility of pregnancy? Because all the symptoms you’ve described sound exactly like pregnancy!”
“Pregnancy?” Leng Zhiruo and Huang He both froze for a moment. Then, Leng Zhiruo said with a wry smile, “Coach Liu, you know my situation. I can’t get pregnant.”
“But I just heard you mention you were undergoing IVF treatment!”
“But it was only half done, I still…” Leng Zhiruo stopped herself midway. There was no need to explain such things to a personal trainer!
However, Boss Huang’s expression shifted. He recalled Hu Jing’s various reactions during her pregnancy, which were very similar to Leng Zhiruo’s current symptoms. He then directly said to an assistant who was also in the room, “Go to the pharmacy and get a pregnancy test kit!”
The assistant immediately dashed off. The pharmacy was only a few dozen meters from Boss Huang’s room. It contained 90% of the world’s medicines and a private medical team of ten people, all to ensure Boss Huang’s life could be saved at any critical moment.
Soon, the pregnancy test kit was handed to Leng Zhiruo. While muttering that it was impossible, she still walked into the bathroom with a glimmer of expectation.
Although it was said that the results would be confirmed in about five minutes, after only one minute, a loud exclamation erupted from the bathroom. Boss Huang, without hesitation, rushed in and saw Leng Zhiruo sitting on the toilet, holding the test strip, shouting excitedly like a firecracker.
Clearly, there were two lines on the test strip, and Leng Zhiruo was pregnant.
For the next three full days, Leng Zhiruo remained in the hospital, undergoing various examinations, from the simplest ultrasound to fetal DNA screening. In short, Leng Zhiruo had every pregnancy-related test imaginable. The conclusion was that there was indeed a four-month-old fetus inside Leng Zhiruo, and it was very healthy and growing strong.
Even then, Leng Zhiruo couldn’t believe she was actually pregnant.
“Zhiwen, Zhimeng, did Mom tell you to drug me and knock me out so the doctor could do those things to me?” Lying on a soft bed, gazing at the mountain scenery outside the window, she questioned her two younger sisters who had come to visit.
“You’re talking nonsense. Do I need to anesthetize you? Back when Zhimeng refused to do the second round, you were crying your eyes out. With you like this, if you had the chance, you’d probably climb onto the hospital bed yourself. Why would I need my two sisters to drug you?” The mother-in-law, busy cutting fruit, retorted impatiently.
Upon learning of her daughter’s pregnancy, the mother-in-law had decisively handed Leng Zhiyuan and Leng Zhiting over to others and personally came to Mount Lu to act as Leng Zhiruo’s nanny.
This was a villa on Mount Lu. Don’t misunderstand, it wasn’t *that* villa. Boss Huang didn’t dare to live there. This was just a very ordinary holiday villa, covering an area of only two to three hectares, with its own private forest and dozens of rooms.
Furthermore, Boss Huang had almost emptied a private hospital in Hong Kong, bringing all its medical staff to Mount Lu. A team of over 60 people, all serving Leng Zhiruo alone.
Although Leng Zhiruo hadn’t deliberately tested the baby’s gender, since she had undergone amniocentesis for DNA testing, the gender of the baby was naturally determined to be male.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the child in Leng Zhiruo’s womb would be the legitimate heir to Jiangnan Group, the future richest man in the world. Naturally, he could not be neglected and must receive the best care.
“Then it’s strange, how did I get pregnant?” Leng Zhiruo looked bewildered. Although she was already a mother, she didn’t even know how she had become one.
“Sis, didn’t the doctor test you? This is a normal pregnancy. You probably conceived during your usual intimacy with brother-in-law. It’s the most ordinary thing, so stop overthinking it!” Leng Zhimeng said with a grin.
“No, I just find this whole thing rather surreal. You don’t know how many hospitals I’ve been to, how many Western and Chinese medicine doctors I’ve seen. They all told me I was beyond hope. I still can’t believe it…” As Leng Zhiruo spoke, she couldn’t help but start crying.
“Sis, don’t cry, you’re making me want to cry too!” Leng Zhimeng said with a grin, then picked up an apple beside her and started biting into it.
“Huh? Zhimeng, you don’t eat apples, do you?” The mother-in-law asked in shock when she saw her daughter biting into an apple.
Everyone had their own dietary preferences. For example, Leng Zhiruo didn’t eat animal offal, while Leng Zhimeng disliked fruit, especially apples. In her words, she couldn’t stand the taste of apples.
Also, apples were too hard to bite, not soft and cute at all.
“Ah, I just suddenly felt like eating one!” Leng Zhimeng said with a grin. “I don’t know why, but my appetite seems to have changed recently. I’ve started craving fruit.”
“That change is quite similar to mine. I feel like eating pig kidney every day now!” Leng Zhiruo said cheerfully.
“Alright, sis, you’re not also pregnant like our sister, are you?” Leng Zhiwen quipped from the side.
“Impossible, I don’t even have a man, how could I have a child!” Leng Zhimeng said subconsciously, waving her hand. But the next second, Leng Zhimeng’s expression changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.
“Sis, your period hasn’t come either, has it… This is just a normal reaction to the medication, right?” Leng Zhimeng suddenly asked quietly.
“Ah, it’s a normal reaction… Wait, what are you talking about, you child?” Leng Zhiruo was also stunned, then she directly took a test kit from a cabinet by the bed and handed it to Leng Zhimeng. “You silly girl, hurry up and go to the toilet, go now!”
“Hey, it’s impossible, I don’t have a man…” Leng Zhimeng muttered, but under Leng Zhiwen’s insistence and supervision, they both went into the bathroom together. Not long after, Leng Zhimeng’s scream echoed from the bathroom.
