Chapter 173: Chapter 170 My Lover is Pregnant Now

------------

It wasn’t until Zhang Shan Ni was led away by Xie Jingchen that Yan Jinchang reluctantly retracted his gaze. For some reason, seeing that freak of a camp commander leading his pint-sized wife, he actually felt an urge to rush up and pick a fight with him!

Only when he could no longer see them did Yan Jinchang feel his racing heartbeat gradually calm down.

Before, it was as though he had witnessed some exciting scene; just one look at Zhang Shan Ni would make his blood boil.

When he saw that the incident wouldn’t involve her, his first reaction was that she shouldn’t be left in the cold. Instead of watching that mad woman spout her delusional ramblings, it would be better to get the appointment over with early and not let her catch a chill...

That’s why he took the liberty to make the appointment beforehand.

Zhang Shan Ni was completely unaware of any difference. She felt disgusted by Lin Aihong, and although she knew it wasn’t her man’s fault, she still felt uncomfortable and stifled.

Anyway, she couldn’t control her ’pregnancy’ emotions right now, but she could still maintain a facade of calm on the surface.

The couple walked in silence; if not for Xie Jingchen’s weak and affectionate little gestures, Zhang Shan Ni might really believe that Xie Jingchen was being quite upright!

Goodness, where did this man learn to caress her thumb on the sly? It made her want to maintain a stern expression but she couldn’t hold it.

Due to the delay downstairs, by the time Xie Jingchen led his petite wife to the obstetric department, there were only two pregnant women in line ahead of them, and it was almost their turn.

One of them was someone Zhang Shan Ni knew. But Zhang Shan Ni’s impression of her was really bad; it was the distinctive Mrs. Rong who was like "talking to a duck with a chicken"!

They lived in the same residential building, but whereas others would naturally be kind to a pregnant Mrs. Rong, and would at least smile faintly when meeting her, this one clearly wasn’t like that.

Wen Mianhua was the wife of the deputy camp commander of the third battalion, an odd character who didn’t get along with Zhang Shan Ni.

Especially when she saw Xie Jingchen supporting Zhang Shan Ni outside the obstetric department, her sharp chin tightened, and her thin lips grew pale with what seemed like ’jealousy.’ She glared at Zhang Shan Ni’s belly and then walked away with a melancholic face when Xie Jingchen glanced sideways at her.

She couldn’t even deal with people on a basic level; Zhang Shan Ni felt exhausted on behalf of her husband. Having a wife who acted like she was owed by the heavens must require a great deal of courage for her man.

"What’s she doing here?" Zhang Shan Ni murmured in a low voice once the woman had left. Wen Mianhua’s flat stomach didn’t look pregnant at all; why come to the obstetrics clinic?

Xie Jingchen was even more clueless than his wife, impossible for him to answer.

Of course, the type like Wen Mianhua wasn’t nearly as disgusting and despicable as Lin Aihong downstairs. Zhang Shan Ni was just muttering casually, thinking that her man had been living in the dorms before and wouldn’t have known this Mrs. Rong!

The biggest advantage of bringing your husband to a prenatal checkup is having someone to run errands for you. She just had to hold her belly and be taken to various examinations.

Since she was going for a prenatal checkup, Zhang Shan Ni hadn’t eaten breakfast before leaving the house. She hadn’t even drunk a sip of water, and when the doctor found out it was her first prenatal check, a series of tests were ordered for her.

Zhang Shan Ni didn’t think that the five or six test sheets were too much; it was just a couple of vials of blood drawn to verify genetic diseases and such, followed by chugging water for an ultrasound, then a urine test, vaginal discharge test, etc. All done within an hour.

Other results are easy to talk about, but the data from those tests look completely different from modern test results. Without any normal values for comparison, she couldn’t understand them.

Why did she know such things? Heh heh, no choice—before the apocalypse, two of her best friends had become moms. As their godmother, naturally, she was to be on call at all times, more responsible than their husbands.

Only the words "dizygotic twins" on the ultrasound report were clear to her, and she felt incredibly excited. After all, now that the results were out, it was a sure thing, with a probability of one hundred percent.

By the time Zhang Shan Ni was sitting in front of the chief physician again, her excitement had already subsided; now all she felt was one thing—hungry!

Especially since she saw the food she had prepared in the Space, her hunger intensified even more.

But outside, she could only stay hungry for now.

Fortunately, there was only one pregnant woman in front of her, and after waiting for about ten minutes, it was her turn.

Xie Jingchen wanted to peek at the test sheets, but Zhang Shan Ni just wouldn’t let him see them. Humph, just make him anxious and worried.

Xie Jingchen saw his little wife holding on to that ultrasound report, not letting him take a look. He just assumed she had seen the gender of the baby and was so happy about it that she refused to let him see.

As a man, he wouldn’t stare at other men’s wives’ bellies before marriage, so he had no clue that his own wife’s belly was already comparable to someone else’s who was over five months pregnant!

It’s not that he was too careless; he had no experience with this at all.

He did have several nephews and nieces, but those weren’t his biological children, so what he didn’t need to know, he still didn’t know.

Because, when his brothers and sisters were having children, he was always serving in the military. How could he possibly know what a pregnant woman’s belly looks like at several months along?

Therefore, when the doctor congratulated Xie Jingchen that he was going to have ’two’ babies, he was completely stunned!

"Doc, Doctor, you mean to say that my wife is carrying twins?" When Xie Jingchen asked this question, his voice was low and husky, a pair of strong and distinct large hands tightly gripping Zhang Shan Ni’s small hand. The slight trembling showed how shaky his voice was.

"Yes, Mr. Xie, your wife is in great shape. As long as she continues to maintain a good attitude, eat well, drink well, and sleep well, there generally shouldn’t be any major problems. However, since she is carrying twins, I do recommend that you come for a baby development check-up every month."

The doctor was a middle-aged woman, and seeing Zhang Shan Ni’s pregnant belly made her exceedingly happy too. After all, in the military, there were many children born, but twins were rare.

The doctor purposely reminded them because in this era, women might go through an entire pregnancy without ever visiting a proper hospital for a prenatal checkup. If they were instructed to come monthly, people of this era might be shocked, thinking there was something wrong with the fetus...

Seeing that he couldn’t even stay home for a few days, how could he possibly be at peace going to battle if his little wife had any issues?

Besides, his wife was carrying twins... How many generations had it been since the Old Xie Family had twins? Mom and Dad would definitely be overjoyed to hear the news.
