Chapter 189 The Restless Husband
Chapter 189 The Restless Husband
"Me? Pull her away? Even you, her own son, couldn't stop her just now, and you expect me to?" Xia Xiaoyun scoffed. "Besides, what if she bumps into the baby in my belly?"
Zeng Fushun sighed. Xia Xiaoyun was right.
They arrived at the city center hospital quickly.
Li Shaoyun personally brought Qiao An to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a checkup.
An hour later, they went back into the consultation room, where the doctor greeted them with a smile and asked them to sit down.
Li Shaoyun asked anxiously, "Is everyone alright? How's the child?"
"Director Li, don't worry, her pregnancy looks great, the baby is very healthy."
"However, her hCG level in her blood is very high, so we don't know if she's a twin."
In those days, the medical standards in Amutu were still inferior to those in big cities; even the best central hospital did not have ultrasound.
Therefore, it's impossible to determine whether they are twins.
This can only be speculation.
Joan didn't really know either.
Li Shaoyun stared wide-eyed at Qiao An's stomach in disbelief. "Twins?"
Huo Jiyun's cheeks flushed with excitement as he placed his large hand on her stomach, "An'an..."
"Don't get excited. We don't have ultrasounds here, so no one can say for sure if they're twins," Qiao An said, trying to calm them down.
"What this comrade said is true. I'm just speculating and dare not draw any conclusions. We'll have to wait until she gives birth to know for sure," the doctor said with a smile.
Whether it is or not, as long as there is nothing wrong with your body, that's fine.
They drove back to the compound, with Qiao An and Li Shaoyun chatting in the back.
Huo Jiyun could tell from their conversation that Qiao An had started thinking about how to make money.
Qiao An couldn't stay still. Although she was pregnant, apart from her belly being a little heavy and her feet being a little swollen, she didn't have any other physical symptoms.
If we just stay at home like this until November, that would be truly torturous.
"You mean you're going to procure supplies from other places and sell them to our Northwest Army?" Li Shaoyun had never heard of anyone doing business with the army.
"Yes, not only food, but also cloth, seasonings and other things can be obtained. Besides, it's not just sold to the army. I saw a lot of businesses in Amutu when I came out for a walk just now. I can rent a shop on the street and open a store."
Li Shaoyun pondered for a moment, "It actually works."
"You don't know about our Northwest Army. We look impressive, but the soldiers don't eat very well."
"There's no shortage of meat, but there's too little fresh vegetables. Back in my hometown, at least we can have a variety of dishes to eat in spring, summer, and autumn."
"Oh, it's really just cabbage and potatoes all year round. To be honest, I'm about to throw up from eating it."
Li Shaoyun was from Haiming City, one of the largest cities in the Xia Kingdom.
Even during difficult times, she ate better in Haiming City than in Amutu.
The more Qiao An listened, the more she felt that Amutu had great potential!
Back home, Joan took out her notebook and started writing and drawing on it.
Huo Ning, Huo Chen, and Wen Xiaoxiao have been sent to the military kindergarten.
Huo Fang recently made a new friend and went to visit her with the novel.
The house is very quiet, which is a good place to calm down and think things through.
Unfortunately, there was also Huo Jiyun.
He sat next to Joanne and watched her quietly.
It was very hot in Amutu in June. As Joan wrote, she unbuttoned her collar.
Huo Jiyun suddenly noticed the patch of white skin beneath the collar.
Suddenly, my whole body felt hot, and my breath caught in my throat for a moment.
He quickly moved the electric fan over and turned it on, hoping to cool Qiao An down.
The electric fan was spinning its head and blowing.
Suddenly, the desk made a "clattering" sound as the paper that Qiao An had torn off was blown over by the wind.
Seeing this, Huo Jiyun bent down to pick it up, and Qiao An also bent down at the same time.
When he looked up, his gaze fell directly on Joan's collar.
With her collar wide open, the view inside was completely exposed.
Huo Jiyun felt as if a colorful cloud had exploded in his head.
The vibrations made his ears ring.
This noise was quite alarming; it seemed that some places were starting to get restless.
Joan didn't notice his embarrassment. When she saw him picking up the paper for her, she couldn't help but lean over and kiss him.
Huo Jiyun shuddered as if he had been electrocuted.
If he weren't so tanned, he would probably look like a cooked shrimp by now.
Qiao An had no idea what her actions meant to Huo Jiyun.
Seeing Qiao An writing so intently, Huo Jiyun could only slowly close his legs, trying to suppress the restless feeling within him.
But when the electric fan blew, the fragrance from Joan's body wafted into his nose.
Qiao An was different from others; she always smelled nice.
Sometimes it smells like flowers, and sometimes it has a calm, woody scent.
Today's flavor is sweet and sour, like fruit.
Not only did it smell delicious, but he also wanted to take a bite.
Huo Jiyun took a deep breath, feeling utterly helpless.
Qiao An is pregnant. He vaguely remembered that once a doctor mentioned in a lecture that a pregnant woman's body is very delicate and she should not engage in strenuous exercise.
That... counts as strenuous exercise.
Huo Jiyun gritted his teeth, trying his best to control his breathing and body, but it was easier said than done.
His gaze kept drifting towards Joan.
As Qiao An wrote, she realized something was wrong. Why was Huo Jiyun completely silent? He didn't even say a word to her.
As soon as she turned her head, she met Huo Jiyun's eyes, which were burning with crimson lust.
This isn't right!
Immediately afterwards, Joan covered her collar.
Huo Jiyun coughed lightly, his face turning even redder.
He clearly did everything at home, so why does he feel a little embarrassed about being caught after not seeing him for several months?
Joan blushed slightly. "You didn't even tell me you were exposed. What if someone came in?"
Her slightly angry voice, like a feather, sent shivers down Huo Jiyun's spine.
Huo Jiyun slowly approached, and Qiao An was drawn in by his broad shoulders.
Their eyes met, their breaths mingled, and they couldn't tell one another apart.
A few months ago in Lianchi Village, the two of them would turn off the lights at night and do those shameless things on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Since no one can see anyone else's face, people are actually bolder.
Now she could clearly see Huo Jiyun's tightly pursed lips and restrained expression.
Huo Jiyun lowered his head, a turbulent emotion surging in his eyes.
The man's presence enveloped her, and Qiao An's heart raced as if struck by a heavy hammer.
"I...I'll just hug you for a little while, no...I won't go inside." Huo Jiyun's hoarse voice rang in Qiao An's ears, making her skin crawl.
It was at this moment that Qiao An's gaze swept over Huo Jiyun's tightly pressed legs.
I saw that not-so-well-behaved little brother.
Oh, I see...
Qiao An burst out laughing.
Huo Jiyun, "enraged and embarrassed," pressed his face close to hers, wanting to "retaliate" by kissing her.
"Wait," Joanne called out.
Huo Jiyun thought she didn't want to, and his face fell, and he immediately lost his spirit.
Just as he was hanging his head in frustration.
Joanne got up, drew the curtains, and locked the door.
The light inside the room suddenly dimmed.
Huo Jiyun was puzzled and was about to look up when she saw a small, pink cherry-like mouth reaching out to her.
"Honey, it's okay to start after three months of pregnancy, but you can't be as endless as before."
"Won't it hurt the child?"
"In moderation, no."
"Hmm..."
Before Qiao An could finish speaking, she was enveloped in tenderness and had no mind to think about anything else.
