Chapter 396: Chapter 396: A Place to Rest and Nurture the Fetus

Si Huang following behind them: "...I’m not saying, but at the hospital, you should really try to restrain yourselves a little.

Although I’ve made arrangements, I can’t guarantee there aren’t reporters staked out nearby. As you know, my hospital tends to attract a lot of VIPs."

Bo Yan, "So are you being proudly idle as a wealthy second-generation heir with nothing to do?"

Si Huang, "Even though I don’t have proof, I know you’re mocking me. Can’t you have a little sympathy?

Do you think I want this? If it weren’t for...

Forget it, I won’t say more on that. Are you planning to stay for lunch, or will you leave now?"

Bo Yan instinctively looked over at Yuran to seek her opinion. Shaking her head, Yuran replied, "Thanks, but no thanks, Second Brother Si. I’ve already arranged with my godmother to have lunch back at the old mansion."

Si Huang understood. Good news should naturally be shared with family. He didn’t insist on keeping them, only reminding them to come to the hospital strictly according to the prenatal checkup schedule.

If Bo Yan couldn’t make it at that time, he could just give him a call.

Bo Yan’s response was cold, "No need for that."

Si Huang, with a look of utter disbelief, turned to Xie Cheng innocently, "Did I say something wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, huh?"

Xie Cheng patted his shoulder in consolation, "When it comes to matters concerning Yuran, he doesn’t rely on others. It’s best to keep your good intentions to yourself."

Si Huang started to say "I, I, I," but couldn’t bring himself to utter a harsh word.

Absurd.

Long after Bo Yan and Yuran had left, Si Huang still stood there, turning to the nurses beside him, "Ladies, do you think your hospital director here is being too meddlesome?"

The cluster of nurse sisters scattered like birds and beasts, leaving behind only a young, handsome loner in the now silent, spacious corridor.

Si Huang: "..."

Truly absurd.

...

On the way back to the old mansion, Bo Yan occasionally glanced over at Yuran to observe her complexion, always asking how she felt at the slightest change.

Yuran saw his cautious demeanor and felt a bit sorry for him, "Xiaoqi, you don’t need to be so nervous, I’m fine. Don’t worry."

How could he not worry?

Bo Yan didn’t voice that thought, but even without saying it, Yuran knew well that simple words couldn’t really comfort him.

So, she diverted Bo Yan’s attention, "Xiaoqi, has Second Brother Si always been the director of this hospital?"

Bo Yan nodded, "Although he’s not as outstanding as Si Yao, I have to admit that in his field of expertise, Second Brother Si does have his strengths;

Even though I keep calling him a second-generation heir, he is still a very capable one;

He has at least increased the market value of the Si Family-owned hospitals under his management several times over."

Si Huang seemed nonchalant, but he had big ambitions.

Of course, the Si Family was relatively harmonious, without any internal strife between siblings, which made it much simpler compared to the complexities of the Ou Family. The other three of the big four families were much more harmonious than that.

In recent years, relations were a bit sensitive. On the surface, the Bo Family didn’t have much frequent interaction with the Si Family, but privately, their younger generation got along quite well.

Bo Yan said, "You also lived in the courtyard for a while when you were little, so your memory of Si Huang is probably quite vague."

Indeed.

Yuran smiled, "Getting to know him again now isn’t a bad thing. I can revise the rigid impressions I had from back then in the big courtyard."

Bo Yan smiled and reached to ruffle her hair, "Even if others have a bad impression of you, it has nothing to do with who you are."

"But now I am your wife! Shouldn’t I be careful not to embarrass you?"

"No, I think you’re good enough, and that’s all that matters. Whether other people know how good you are has nothing to do with us."

Yuran nodded with a smile, "I understand now."

...

Upon returning to the old mansion, Bo’s mother hurried over to greet them. After hanging up Yuran’s call, she paced anxiously in the living room, walking back and forth.

She would occasionally glance towards the courtyard.

The moment she heard the sound of an engine, she raced out without a second thought. Seeing that it was Bo Yan’s car, the smile on her face never faded.

Before Bo Yan could get out of the car to open the door for Yuran, she dashed over, pulled open the passenger door, and seeing Yuran’s rosy and smiling face, her mood greatly improved.

"Baby, come out and let Mom take a look at you."

She had thought her son would remain childless, but to her surprise, not long after their marriage, they were expecting a child.

Wait a minute...

Bo’s mother felt she had forgotten something important. For a moment, she couldn’t quite remember because of her excitement, but seeing Yuran, it suddenly came back to her.

She circled around Yuran, examining her from top to bottom, then suddenly slapped Bo Yan on the arm as he approached.

Bo Yan was momentarily stunned, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Bo’s mother, flushed with embarrassment and anger, said, "When you got married, I told you that baby is too young, not suitable...

And yet you managed to get her pregnant so soon?"

Bo Yan, unflustered and not at all embarrassed, said, "Being pregnant is good, isn’t it? You get to hold your grandchild sooner."

Bo’s mother retorted, "Do you even have the face to say that? Baby is so young, and childbirth is inherently dangerous. You’re her husband, have you shown any tenderness towards Baby? Couldn’t you let her grow a bit older?

Couldn’t you have waited? Would waiting have killed you? Huh?"

Yuran quickly stepped in to stop Bo’s mother, wrapping her arms around her and saving Bo Yan from her grasp.

"Mom..."

The sweet way Yuran called her ’Mom’ made Bo’s mother’s heart blossom with joy, and she no longer pursued the matter with Bo Yan, pinching Yuran’s hand with an ’eh’.

Yuran said, "Mom, I’m fine. Before Xiaoqi and I decided to have a child, we consulted with a doctor, who said there would be no problems;

the medical environment is good these days, and Xiaoqi takes great care of me, so there’s nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this, Bo’s mother shot a glare at Bo Yan, "Look at Baby, how considerate she is of you, you ungrateful scoundrel."

The ungrateful scoundrel Bo Yan: "..."

Learning that they were coming back for dinner, Bo’s mother had the household’s butler prepare the freshest ingredients, after all, a pregnant woman needs to eat fresh and nourishing food.

All of the ingredients were freshly delivered.

Worried that Yuran might not have much appetite, she instructed the kitchen to cook dishes that were light yet nutritious.

She had even supervised the kitchen for a while earlier.

As soon as they entered, Yuran caught the scent of the delicious aroma and was moved, "Mom, did you prepare something special for me...?"

Bo’s mother nodded, "I stewed bird’s nest for you, but right now there’s chicken soup simmering in the kitchen. I heard it has to simmer for over six hours to taste good. Stay here for dinner tonight;

Xiaoqi is busy and can’t take good care of you on weekdays, Baby. Why don’t you move in and stay with me?

I’m free now, which is the perfect time to look after you. If you bump or bruise yourself, at least there will be someone here to take care of you."

Yuran actually felt it was unnecessary, thinking that moving in would make Bo’s mother busier, which she didn’t think was a good idea.

Bo Yan, on the other hand, took Bo’s mother’s words to heart. Seeing Yuran about to decline, he quickly interjected, "I think Mom makes sense. So Mom, if you could please take care of Baby before the delivery, that would be great."
