Love So Sweet

642 Was She Sick?

A month after the newlywed couple returned from their honeymoon, Fang Su Jin found that she was pregnant.

That day, the couple went to visit Fang Su Jin’s parents.

As soon as they arrived, Father Fang dragged his son-in-law into his study to play a game of chess while discussing the current economy.

These days, the government had introduced a new incentive to help stimulate the county’s economy. While talking to his friends, a lot of them were against the government’s move. However, Father Fang wanted to know what Zhang Yi Hai was thinking.

They were of a different age gap and Father Fang found that talking to Zhang Yi Hai would help him understand what the younger generation was thinking about.

Fang Su Jin could only watch as her husband was dragged away. Each time that they visited his parents, her father would steal away her husband for a long time.

The person who was reluctant to let her marry not too long ago seemed very satisfied with his son-in-law.

Fang Su Jin could only head into the kitchen and find her mother. When she walked in, her mother was baking some lemon cake. After one bite of the cake, Fang Su Jin found that it was hard to stop herself from continue eating them.

In the end, Mother Fang had to push the plate farther from her grasp.

.....

“Why do you look like you haven’t seen food for a long time?” Mother Fang looked at her daughter who was wiping some crumbs at the corner of her lips.

“Mom, I just missed your cooking.”

Mother Fang had a satisfied look on her face. She decided to cook her daughter’s favorite food later for dinner.

“Are you staying the night?”

Fang Su Jin sighed when she heard her mother’s question. According to the plan, she was supposed to head back to the apartment with Zhang Yi Hai. After all, Zhang Yi Hai was quite busy with his work. However, with the way her father was taking Zhang Yi Hai’s time, Fang Su Jin had a feeling that the two of them will have to stay the night.

“Mom, do you think Dad will let Yi Hai leave too soon?”

Mother Fang laughed. “I could talk to him.”

Fang Su Jin waved a hand. “It’s fine. We are prepared to stay anyway.” When her mother was not looking, Fang Su Jin took another piece of cake.

Since Fang Su Jin had returned, Mother Fang decided to teach her a few recipes that she could try.

In the past, Mother Fang did not mind if her daughter did not know how to cook. Especially since her hand was mostly used in paintings. But now that she was married, Mother Fang thought that knowing to cook is a skill her daughter should learn.

She did not have to be very good at it. As long as she could prepare something simple, that is more than enough.

Mother Fang was teaching her to make something simple.

Fang Su Jin looked into the pot and saw the water bubbling. The kitchen was a little hot. However, she decided not to think too much about it and focused on her mother’s cooking.

Just then, she felt as if everything around her turned dark.

...

When Fang Su Jin woke up again, she realized that Zhang Yi Hai was looking at her with worry. She was about to sit up and ask him what was going on when she realized that there was another person in the room.

It did not take her too long to recall that this person should be Fang’s family doctor.

“Just lay down,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Don’t move around too much.”

The frown on her face deepened. Fang Su Jin recalled that she was watching her mother cook when she felt her world turn darker.

Was she sick?

There was a faint smile on Zhang Yi Hai’s face upon hearing her question. “Su Jin, you are not sick.”

“Then, why do you call a doctor?”

Zhang Yi Hai stared at his wife for a few seconds longer. He glanced at the doctor before turning to his wife again. “Su Jin, you’re pregnant.”

“Ah?” Fang Su Jin stared back at Zhang Yi Hai with her eyes wide. Her hand moved to touch her flat stomach. Fang Su Jin could not believe that she was pregnant.

However, after they were both married, the two of them never used protection. They both had agreed to let things move naturally between them. Zhang Yi Hai said that it does not matter if she was pregnant. Anyway, he has enough money to support their child.

Fang Su Jin did not expect that things would move too quickly for them. They haven’t been married for too long!

Hearing the news of her pregnancy, naturally, both sides of the family were too happy.

Father Fang looked at his daughter and began to worry about her. His daughter was usually pampered. Going through pregnancy and being a mother would be difficult for her.

But once Father Fang saw that Zhang Yi Hai was quite attentive to his daughter, Father Fang decided not to worry too much. As her father, he would help his daughter in any way that he can.

The person who was the happiest was, of course, Zhang Li Xue.

Hearing that her friend was pregnant, Zhang Li Xue went to hug Fang Su Jin tightly. “This is great.” Zhang Li Xue smiled brightly. Then, he looked at her son who was lying in his crib, and spoke, “Xiang Xiang, you’re going to be a big brother. Later, you will have someone to accompany you to play.”

The little baby looked at his mother before waving his tiny fist in excitement.

After carrying the baby for nine months, Fang Su Jin finally felt her contraction and was pushed into the labor room. She spent almost half a day in the labor room before finally giving birth to a baby girl.

The doctor announced that both the baby and the mother were healthy.

Zhang Yi Hai held the baby in his arms and thought that his daughter was the most adorable baby girl he had seen. He almost could not believe that he had become a father.

Fang Su Jin finally came out of the labor room after the doctor helped to clean her up. Then, Zhang Yi Hai passed the baby to his mother before going to his wife’s side. He accompanied her until they both arrived at her ward.

Once the nurse had walked out, Zhang Yi Hai held his wife’s hand and leaned to kiss her forehead. “Su Jin, thank you for your hard work.” He knew how his wife had fought for her life as she gave birth to their daughter.

Fang Su Jin’s eyes welled up. It was only after Zhang Yi Hai had coaxed her that she finally fell asleep.
