After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 73: Going to the Hospital

Gu Fuqiao reached out to touch her chest and found it really seemed to have grown quite a bit.

She slightly bit her lips, and the worry in her heart grew a little heavier.

After washing the dishes, when Yan Zhen Guo habitually tried to pounce on Gu Fuqiao, she moved to the side and raised her hand to stop him, saying, "Not today, I’m feeling really tired and seem to have a cold."

"A cold?" Yan Zhen Guo looked at Gu Fuqiao, who seemed absent-minded today, and believed it for the moment. He reached out and touched her head, saying, "Fortunately, you don’t have a fever. I’ll get you some medicine; we have some cold medicine prepared at home."

After saying this, Yan Zhen Guo got out of bed.

Watching Yan Zhen Guo’s back, Gu Fuqiao glanced down at her own belly and sighed heavily, thinking, I hope I’m not pregnant... As for those contraceptives, I should just throw them away early to avoid any mess.

Gu Fuqiao also got up and walked out. She saw Yan Zhen Guo’s tall figure squatting in front of the low cabinet searching for something, the cabinet was so low that it forced his tall body to huddle up.

She bit her lip slightly and called out to Yan Zhen Guo, "I already took some medicine before, there’s no need to take more."

Upon hearing her words, Yan Zhen Guo paused and frowned, asking, "Really?"

"Yes." Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Why would I lie to you? Am I stupid..."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yan Zhen Guo stopped searching and walked over to Gu Fuqiao, picking her up horizontally and carrying her back to bed. This time, he didn’t pounce on her but instead pulled the quilt over her and then lay down beside her after taking off his clothes.

While reaching out to stroke Gu Fuqiao’s head, he said, "Just lie here for a while, sweat it out, and you’ll feel better."

Gu Fuqiao had only been comforted like this by her grandmother when she was sick as a child. Her heart was a bit moved, and she looked up at the man’s resolute chin, feeling a wave of emotion, then gently kissed his chin, saying, "Brother Yan, let’s have a baby in a while."

Brother Yan?

This was the first time since marrying him that Gu Fuqiao had addressed him this way.

Yan Zhen Guo lowered his head to look at the woman, whose cheeks were slightly red and eyes gently closed in rest. There was a hint of joy on his sharply defined face, and then he opened his mouth. Though there was almost no sound, the shape of his lips was clear.

What he said was, "Okay."

Early the next morning, when Gu Fuqiao got up, Yan Zhen Guo was already not at home. She thought he probably didn’t wake her up for breakfast because he thought she was sick. As she sat up, she saw a note pressed on the bedside table.

Gu Fuqiao picked up the note and looked at it. It was a note Yan Zhen Guo left for her, the firm and forceful handwriting stating that he would be on a mission these days, and Cheng Zhang would also be accompanying. He had arranged for another soldier to drive her to the hospital, likely around eight in the morning.

Gu Fuqiao checked her watch and found it was seven o’clock, so after having a quick breakfast, she went next door to look for Chen Bajin.

Just as she reached the door, before she could knock, Chen Bajin came out of the house. Seeing Gu Fuqiao, she said with some surprise, "You’re here! Let’s go, to the hospital."

"How did you know I was going to the hospital?" Gu Fuqiao asked, a bit surprised.

Chen Bajin smiled sweetly and said, "Your Yan Camp Commander! Even though he looks rougher compared to my husband, he’s actually so thoughtful and caring. He came to find my Jian Country early this morning, saying you seemed to have a cold and asked me to accompany you to the hospital. Look at you, having such good fortune, I’m envious!"

Hearing this, Gu Fuqiao felt both conflicted and regretful. What she regretted was, had she known she would live well with Yan Zhen Guo, she wouldn’t have taken those contraceptives. What if she really got pregnant!

"What’s wrong with you? Why do you have that expression?" Chen Bajin looked at Gu Fuqiao’s conflicted and hesitant expression, suspecting she might have argued with Yan Zhen Guo.

Gu Fuqiao shook her head and said, "It’s nothing, just not feeling well."

"Then let me accompany you back home to rest first. Yan Camp Commander said someone would come later to take us to the hospital." Chen Bajin followed Gu Fuqiao back to her house.

Looking at Chen Bajin beside her, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but ask, "Bajin... have you ever had a child?" As far as she knew, being pregnant often involved symptoms like vomiting, but she had none, so maybe it was just a false alarm by asking someone with experience.

When asked this question, Chen Bajin’s expression darkened a bit as she said, "Having... having no child, but I have been pregnant. However, at that time I took cold medicine, and the doctor said I couldn’t keep the child, so it was aborted..."

Gu Fuqiao knew, taking medicine could lead to deformities in the child, so pregnant women usually consult a doctor before taking any medication. "Bajin, you’re still young, you can have another child in the future."

"Sigh." Chen Bajin sighed and patted her own stomach, saying, "I do want to, but it’s been a year and I still haven’t gotten pregnant... How can I face the ancestors of the Chen Family!"

Chen Bajin was originally just an adopted daughter of the Chen Family. After finally marrying her childhood sweetheart, Brother Chen Jian Country, she had yet to have children, which was such a big worry for her.

Seeing Chen Bajin so upset, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but ask, "Bajin, do you often have stomach pains during your period? And do your hands and feet get cold?"

Chen Bajin was taken aback by this question, then nodded and said, "Yes, how did you know?"

"I just heard that with a cold uterus, you would have lower abdominal pain during your period, and it’s harder to get pregnant. But if it’s properly taken care of, it’ll be fine," Gu Fuqiao recalled that in her past life, a friend had the same issue but became pregnant after several moxa treatment sessions.

"What should I do then?" Chen Bajin asked Gu Fuqiao anxiously, "I previously consulted a Chinese medicine doctor, but the medication didn’t work."

"We should buy some mugwort and do moxibustion. Though I don’t know how, maybe you could ask the military wives around if any of them know. Also, keep a positive mindset," Gu Fuqiao suggested after some thought.

Chen Bajin nodded while listening and making mental notes.

Gu Fuqiao shared all the practices she knew for taking care of one’s health. "Try not to eat cold things whenever possible, and avoid watermelon too if you can, because watermelon has a cold nature."

As she was talking, a rhythmic knock suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, are you there? I’m here as instructed by Yan Camp Commander to take you to the hospital," came a man’s voice from outside.
