Hard work after winning the lottery

It’s over.

Barbie Q is here.

Zhou Yanjin, you're a sharpshooter who never misses a shot!

Back in the consultation room, the doctor's expression remained calm and composed.

She took the test results from Hua Yun, glanced at them, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"Wow, that's a pretty high number." The doctor pointed to the arrow. "A good doubling rate, it seems the embryo quality is quite good."

This tone sounds more like someone praising the crops in the field for growing well.

Hua Yun asked with a mournful face, "Doctor, is it possible... it's a machine malfunction?"

"A machine malfunction can cause a reading of tens of thousands?" The doctor rolled his eyes at her, tucked the report into her medical record, and said, "Alright, stop fooling yourself. Take this report to the ultrasound room to confirm the location of the gestational sac and rule out an ectopic pregnancy."

"Oh……"

Hua Yun walked out with the ultrasound report in her hand, like a puppet on a string.

The ultrasound room is on the second floor.

The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn tightly, and only the instrument screen emitted a faint glow.

"Lie down, pull your pants down a little, and expose your belly." The ultrasound doctor was a young male doctor with a gentle voice, but to Hua Yun, it sounded like the summons of the King of Hell.

Hua Yun lay on the narrow examination bed, staring blankly at the water stain on the ceiling.

"It's a bit chilly, just bear with it."

The doctor squeezed a large amount of clear coupling gel onto her belly.

"hiss--"

The icy touch sent shivers down Hua Yun's spine, and her stomach involuntarily clenched.

The probe was placed on her stomach, and it began to move and press slowly.

Hua Yun turned her head to the side and looked at the black and white display screen next to her.

The screen showed a patch of snow and blurry shadows, and the image kept changing as the probe moved.

"Relax, don't tense up," the doctor said while performing the procedure. "Um...you're Zhou Yanjin's family member, right?"

Hua Yun was startled: "Huh? You know me?"

"Hey, this county town isn't that big." The doctor smiled. "Mr. Zhou donated a batch of equipment to our hospital last year, including this ultrasound machine. I didn't expect it to be used to examine the boss's wife today."

Hua Yun: "..."

Could the world get any smaller?

Will the whole county soon know that President Zhou is going to be a father again?

"Found it."

The doctor's voice suddenly became serious.

He pressed a few keys on the keyboard, and the image on the screen froze.

Hua Yun's heart also jumped into her throat.

"Look here." The doctor pointed to a small, pea-sized, yet brightly glowing orb in the center of the dark shadow on the screen. "That's the gestational sac."

Hua Yun stared wide-eyed, trying to make out the little thing.

So small.

So fragile.

It's like a seed that has fallen into the black soil.

"Intrauterine pregnancy, estimated to be about six weeks based on size," the doctor explained while taking measurements, then pressed another button.

The once quiet examination room was suddenly filled with a rapid and forceful sound.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump..."

It sounded like a small train passing by, or like warhorses galloping.

It is extremely fast-paced and powerful.

In the dimly lit and quiet little room, the sound was deafening.

"Did you hear that?" The doctor pointed to the tiny, blinking light in the center of the glowing mass. "That's a fetal heartbeat. It's alive and growing very well."

That instant.

All the anxiety, panic, complaints, and helplessness vanished instantly with each powerful heartbeat.

Hua Yun stared blankly at the flashing little dot.

That is the sound of life.

That was the continuation of her and Zhou Yanjin's bloodline.

Although it was an accident, although it came at the wrong time, and although it might disrupt the existing balance, this tenacious little thing has already taken root in her body and is working hard to announce its existence to the world.

My eyes suddenly felt hot, and my vision became blurry.

Hua Yun sniffed, her voice trembling with a barely perceptible sob: "It...it's still moving."

"Of course it's moving, this is a little life." The doctor smiled, printed out the report, tore it off, and handed it to her. "Here, this is the baby's first picture."

Hua Yun took the thermal paper that was still warm from her body.

The black and white image is very blurry; if you don't look closely, you can't even tell where things are.

But Hua Yun held it in her hands as if it were a rare treasure, very carefully.

It was already getting dark when I walked out of the hospital.

I don't know when, but snowflakes started falling from the sky again.

Fine snowflakes danced in the dim light of the streetlights, like countless sprites filling the sky.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Hua Yun shivered. She subconsciously wrapped her down jacket tighter around herself and gently placed her hand on her still flat stomach.

Even through the thick clothes, she could almost feel the faint warmth emanating from there.

She stood on the steps, looking at the white world before her and the red lanterns hanging on the streets in the distance, which were the atmosphere of the New Year.

This year's New Year is destined to be different.

Hua Yun took out her phone from her bag, laid the ultrasound report flat in her palm, held it up to the light of the street lamp, adjusted the angle several times, and finally took a clear photo.

In the photo, the "pea" is clearly visible, and the words "early intrauterine pregnancy, about 6 weeks" next to it are even more eye-catching.

She opened WeChat and clicked on Zhou Yanjin's profile picture.

My finger hovers over the "Send Image" option.

hair?

Or should we not send it?

If I send it now, will the person in the middle of a multinational conference jump right out of their chair?

What kind of expression will he have?

Was it a pleasant surprise? Or a shock?

Given Zhou Yanjin's reserved and brooding personality, he would probably pretend to be nonchalant on the surface and say "I know," but behind her back, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Hua Yun imagined Zhou Yanjin's bewildered expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter turned into a cloud of white mist in the cool air.

"never mind."

Hua Yun swiped her finger and exited the sending interface.

How could such a thunderous event be detonated through a screen?

I have to see his reaction in person to make it worthwhile! I have to see his perpetually icy face crack – that's what I call satisfying!

She was going to put the order slip inside the biggest red envelope.

Hua Yun put away her phone, carefully folded the ultrasound report, put it in her innermost pocket, and patted it.

She took a deep breath, strode forward, her leather boots crunching on the snow, and walked briskly toward the SUV parked by the roadside.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, but Hua Yun felt as if she had a small stove burning in her heart, keeping her warm.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Anyway, the Zhou family's house is big, so even if there's one more little monster, it won't cause any trouble.
