Chapter 649: False Alarm

“Xiaomeng, how are you feeling now?” Mother Ye asked with concern. She probably had overexerted herself on the morning’s ride, and her worries had stirred up fetal movement in Xiaomeng.

Not long after returning home, she had started feeling a dull ache in her stomach.

It was only then that she told Mother Ye about her pregnancy.

But Mother Ye was alarmed by this and hurriedly brought her to the hospital.

“It’s much better than before,” Xiaomeng reassured.

Finally, it was her turn.

After the doctor learned about her condition, he gave her an ultrasound and performed some other tests.

When He Ming rushed to the hospital, Xiaomeng was just finishing her examination inside, with Mother Ye waiting outside.

“Auntie, how is Xiaomeng?” He Ming asked anxiously, having rushed over.

Seeing He Ming appear before her, Mother Ye was somewhat surprised. How did he know they were here, and why did he come?

At least he was considerate.

“She’s still inside undergoing tests, just felt some pain in her stomach,” Mother Ye replied truthfully.

“How could this happen? Everything will be fine,” He Ming said, running his hand through his hair. He really felt like slapping himself.

He knew Xiaomeng was pregnant and shouldn’t be stressed, yet this still happened.

“Don’t worry, it should be nothing serious, probably just fetal movement,” Mother Ye reassured, peering inside, thinking Xiaomeng would be out soon.

A little while later, Xiaomeng emerged, and He Ming hurriedly helped her up. “Mengmeng, how are you feeling?”

Xiaomeng frowned slightly. “Why did you come?”

“Even in such a situation, you didn’t inform me right away. I had to come looking for you, and Uncle told me,” He Ming said somewhat reproachfully, feeling saddened by the fact that it seemed like Xiaomeng didn’t need him anymore.

“It’s nothing serious. Just need to rest for a while,” Xiaomeng reassured. She was also startled because she had never experienced such a situation before. Fortunately, everything was fine; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to forgive herself.

“That’s great. Let’s go back now,” He Ming said, holding Xiaomeng’s hand.

Xiaomeng initially wanted to pull her hand away, but seeing her mother nearby, she decided against it. If she did that, her mother might get the wrong idea, so she endured it.

“Let’s show the results to the doctor first before we leave,” she said, then headed towards the doctor’s office.

Fortunately, the doctor said there was no major issue, but advised against intercourse during the early stages of pregnancy and emphasized the importance of rest and avoiding exertion.

Xiaomeng’s face flushed as she listened.

Taking advantage of her mother’s distraction, Xiaomeng whispered to He Ming that she had been staying at home during this period because, given the circumstances, it was better to have her parents taking care of her. Plus, she still had a lingering concern that He Ming might continue to be indecisive.

After considering it, He Ming agreed that it was for the best. He also had something important to announce to everyone.

When they arrived at Xiaomeng’s house, Father Ye had already prepared dinner, and they all ate together. Xiaomeng didn’t want to cause a scene with her parents around, so her attitude remained lukewarm, lacking enthusiasm.

Father Ye and Mother Ye noticed the tension between them but, being considerate parents, they didn’t intervene. They figured that since they were adults, they should sort out their issues themselves.

Once everyone had finished eating, He Ming set down his chopsticks and spoke sincerely, “Uncle, Auntie, I have something to discuss with you.”

He Ming was visibly nervous as he spoke, his palms feeling sweaty.

“What is it?” They exchanged a glance, and seeing his solemn expression, they had an inkling of what it might be.
