Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Noon the next day.

The two of them are on the early shift today.

Su Xue and Tang Junyao skipped lunch and decided to go to the ultrasound room for an ultrasound.

She walked into one of the rooms and pushed the door open. A female doctor in her forties was performing an ultrasound on a patient. Su Xue wisely withdrew and gently closed the door behind her.

Neither of them found it strange that there were still people at this hour, and they patiently waited outside the door.

It's normal; when there are many people getting ultrasounds, doctors often work overtime to finish them before leaving.

Soon the patient came out with the form.

Su Xue checked the information on the display screen, confirmed that this was the last patient, and then pushed the door open again.

I greeted the female doctor in the ultrasound room warmly, "Sister Zhang, you've been quite busy today."

The female doctor said wearily, "Sigh, I wasn't tired that day, but lately there have been so many people every day, I'm basically working overtime every day."

Looking at Tang Junyao, he asked in surprise, "What are you two doing here together today? Aren't you going to the cafeteria for lunch? Are you here for an inspection?"

Su Xue smiled sweetly, "Yes, Dr. Tang has some gynecological issues, right? I'll take her for a checkup."

Tang Junyao: "..." She smiled a little awkwardly.

The female doctor laughed and said, "It's normal. Nowadays, eight out of ten girls have gynecological problems. Many of them don't pay attention to it in the early stages, and then all sorts of erosions come up later. Come on, lie down, let me check you out."

Tang Junyao quickly explained, feeling embarrassed, "No need for that, Sister Zhang. You should go eat. We can't keep you from eating at this hour. We can do the inspection ourselves."

The female doctor was warm and kind. "It won't take up much of your time, it's alright, it'll only take a few minutes, come on over."

Su Xue lied, "Sister Zhang, you should go ahead and do your work. Dr. Tang has a problem; she's not used to taking off her pants in front of strangers and is quite shy. How about I do it? We're used to sleeping together and looking at each other."

Tang Junyao was speechless again: "........."

The female doctor chuckled. "You young people, you're not old, but you have a lot of problems. Okay, you can do it yourselves. You need to change your shyness. If you get married and pregnant in the future, you'll have to take your pants off for checkups all the time. And later on, you'll have to check your cervix many times a night. Don't worry about looking bad, we're all women, we're all the same when we take our pants off."

Su Xue: "............"

Tang Junyao was speechless again, her brow twitching. She forced a smile and said, "Sister Zhang, I understand. I'll try my best to change."

Sister Zhang really went to great lengths to help the young people, offering them earnest advice. Once she received a satisfactory answer, she stopped worrying and said, "Alright, I'm leaving now. Remember to close the door when you're done."

Su Xue smiled and quickly replied, "Okay."

After Sister Zhang left, Su Xue and Tang Junyao both breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Junyao walked to the door and locked it. "Sister Zhang is so kind. I almost couldn't handle her."

Su Xue nodded in agreement, "Of course! That's why I came to this ultrasound room. She's a very nice person, very easy to talk to, and very helpful. Lie down first, and I'll do it for you."

Tang Junyao took off one trouser leg and lay down.

Su Xue put a condom on the probe, squeezed out the coupling agent, and then began scanning.

After seeing the embryo clearly, Su Xue's expression was complicated, a mixture of surprise and unspoken emotions. "Yao Yao's embryo has landed normally in the uterus, that's good. You..."

She took the probe out, threw the condom on it into the designated recycling bin, and asked as she did so.

Tang Junyao knew what she wanted to ask. "I know what you want to say. Since I've already made up my mind, I won't change it. It's good to have him; at least life has more color. Don't be so pessimistic. Aren't you happy for me, a single person with multiple children? The main thing is you. Have you really thought this through?"

To be honest, the fact that I'm pregnant isn't my biggest worry; I can raise it. In fact, I'm starting to feel a bit excited. It's my best friend's situation that's making me anxious.

I feel entirely responsible, and it would be a lie to say I don't feel guilty.

Tang Junyao wouldn't show it on her face. She understood Su Xue's personality; she didn't like those sentimental scenes, just like herself. So, if Su Xue really wanted to give birth to the child, she was prepared to take on the subsequent problems. This was something she had thought about before going to bed last night.

We cannot allow Su Xue to suffer so much criticism.

Su Xue's mood dipped slightly. Actually, she hadn't fully decided yet, but she couldn't bear to get an abortion. "Let's get the checkup done first, let me think about it."

Tang Junyao didn't say much, "Okay, lie down."

The process was the same, except Su Xue asked to turn the computer around so she could see it, "Let me see."

Tang Junyao cooperated by turning the computer towards her.

The moment Su Xue saw the embryo, tears streamed down her face.

Tang Junyao's eyes also reddened, and she whispered to Su Xue, "Xiao Xue, I'm sorry."

Su Xue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Silly boy, what are you saying? Do you think I'm crying because I'm pregnant and don't know what to do? No, I just feel very amazed that there is an embryo in my belly. Yao Yao, I want to give birth to her. I can't take her life away."

At this moment, her mind was perfectly clear.

Tang Junyao held back her tears, her eyes shining, and nodded, "Okay."

Su Xue knew she felt guilty, but life is unpredictable. She was the one who went to the mansion, and Yao Yao was wary and didn't want to drink the beverage that night. It was Su Xue who encouraged her to drink it. She couldn't put the blame on her.

Besides, having this child isn't all bad. Just imagine getting pregnant and having prenatal checkups with Yao Yao, and being born on the same day—how wonderful would that be?

Looking at things from a different perspective might just bring happiness.

Stepping out of the ultrasound room, Tang Junyao checked the time on her phone and said to Su Xue, "It's still early before work starts. I'll order you some nutritious food; we can't just eat anything now."

As an obstetrician and gynecologist, she naturally knew the importance of nutrition for the baby and the precautions to take. "Okay, so you can't have milk tea anymore."

Tang Junyao chuckled, "Just bear with it. You're a doctor yourself, why are you thinking about these things all the time? I'm even planning to give up snail rice noodles."

Su Xue remembered that Tang Junyao smoked, and had smoked quite frequently before. "You can't smoke anymore. After get off work this afternoon, let's go to the pharmacy and buy some nutritional supplements, like bird's nest, milk, and soybeans, and make our own soy milk."

Tang Junyao was determined to take good care of Su Xue. "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely serve you well."

Su Xue threw her head back and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Little Tang, get ready to go to your office."

"Alright, you can get up now."

As the two planned what would happen next, the gloom in their hearts dissipated. It could be said that seeing the beating embryo made all their bad thoughts vanish like clouds.

How could a kind person commit the act of killing a life with their own hands, especially a life connected to their own flesh and blood? It is too cruel.

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

This was Tang Junyao's idea, and also Su Xue's idea.

Only two people with similar temperaments can get together and chat about anything and everything, and only then can they stay together forever.

At noon, Tang Junyao ordered Su Xue a walnut egg soup, braised beef, braised shrimp, scrambled eggs with chives, wild yellow croaker, and eggplant with minced meat.

Su Xue was so full that she was sitting on the chair, rubbing her stomach.

Tang Junyao couldn't help but worry, "If you can't eat anymore, you can leave some. You've already ruined your stomach."

Su Xue said with satisfaction, "It's delicious! Although this small stir-fry shop next to our hospital is not big, the taste is really good."

Tang Junyao agreed with this point, especially since the walnut egg soup was so thick that it didn't look like an egg had been added.

A moment later, Tang Junyao thought of something and looked up at the person opposite her, saying, "Xiaoxue, how's your trip abroad going? Have you talked to your director about it? Today seems to be the last day to fill out the forms."

Su Xue stood up abruptly, startling Tang Junyao. "Slow down, I just thought of that too. I was so caught up in this yesterday that I didn't think of that."

"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to find the director now and have a serious talk with him."
