Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 271: After Kicking Out the Scumbag, the Indifferent Buddhist Heir Dotes on His Wife 71

"I got off the plane yesterday, it was too late so I didn’t come to disturb you. I came early this morning to see grandpa and grandma and mom and dad." Su Zhiruan spoke gently with Zhou Mingyu sitting beside her.

After Madam Zhang brought up the tea and snacks, the four of them chatted for a bit more.

The topics mainly revolved around traveling and the company.

After Mr. Zhou Senior returned, Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu greeted him again.

"You old man, why were you out for so long when you knew Ruanruan and Mingyu were coming back!" Mrs. Zhou Senior looked at Mr. Zhou Senior and said discontentedly.

Mr. Zhou Senior just chuckled, "I met an old friend, I didn’t expect he is still seeing patients."

"Seeing patients? Was it that friend of yours who is a traditional Chinese doctor?" Mrs. Zhou Senior obviously knew him, and her interest was piqued, "Why not invite him in to sit for a while?"

"I’ll go ask," Mr. Zhou Senior nodded too.

Mrs. Zhou cheerfully explained to Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu, "This is the Mister’s old friend. When he was young, he insisted on giving up inheriting the family business to study traditional Chinese medicine. However, later, the family pressure got to him and he still went back to take over. Now that he’s old and has handed over the main business to his children and grandchildren, he has picked up his beloved traditional Chinese medicine again."

"I see." Su Zhiruan nodded. She looked at Zhou Mingyu, and it was only when their eyes met that she realized he was also looking at her. They smiled wordlessly at each other.

It sounded like there were some similarities to Zhou Mingyu’s life experiences.

Su Zhiruan knew that Zhou Mingyu had also studied medicine previously, specializing in surgery, but in this generation of the Zhou family, Mingyu was an only child. He had no other choice but to come back and take over the family business.

"When we grow old, I will also resume studying medicine," whispered Zhou Mingyu as he hooked her finger.

"And when I’m old, I’ll stay at home and write a book, documenting the return of an aged medical sage to Jianghu," Su Zhiruan whispered back.

"It’s a deal," Mingyu said with a smile. Where the elders could not see, he gently hooked Su Zhiruan’s pinky finger.

Before long, Mr. Zhou Senior’s traditional Chinese medicine friend walked in.

He appeared to be about the same age as Mr. Zhou Senior, with graying hair yet looked quite spirited and energetic, and his voice was also boisterous.

Seeing Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu there too, the traditional medicine friend was delighted, "This must be the grandson’s wife, and there’s young Mingyu here too, what a rare guest."

Su Zhiruan followed Zhou Mingyu, nodding and smiling.

Zhou Mingyu said, "It’s been a long time since we’ve seen you, thanks to grandpa today we can see you again."

"It’s because I haven’t been in the country lately," the traditional medicine friend waved his hand still with a big smile, "even if you wanted to see me, you couldn’t. It’s just a pity I couldn’t attend your wedding, what a regret."

"Now that you’re here, let’s sit down and have some tea," Mr. Zhou Senior, seeing his old friend, was very happy. His mood was great today, with Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu visiting them, and his old friend whom he hadn’t seen for a long time also showing up, making him even happier.

"It’s always lively at your house. Those kids at my place are all so busy that you hardly see them. They always say ’in a few days’ over the phone, and still, you never see them," the traditional medicine friend sighed deeply. After drinking some hot tea, he suddenly became interested, "How about I take your pulses? It could be a way to test out my recent studies!"

"Sure!" Mr. Zhou Senior agreed immediately.

With the maid’s assistance, everyone soon settled at the dining table, and Mr. Zhou Senior extended his hand, wanting his old friend to take his pulse.

"Old friend, your body is in good condition, strong despite age, much better than mine!" he concluded.

"Ruanruan, you should try it too," Mrs. Zhou Senior, smiling, looked at Su Zhiruan, "consider it a check-up."

"Grandson’s wife, you try too, to supplement whatever is lacking, let’s see how your body is holding up." The traditional medicine friend smiled heartily, stroking his beard and looking at Su Zhiruan.

"Alright," unable to refuse, Su Zhiruan sat down, extending her wrist out.

The family was chatting idly, talking while waiting for the results.

Zhou Mingyu sat by her side, keeping Su Zhiruan company all the time.

Normally, the traditional Chinese medicine friend always had a smile on his face.

However, after he felt Su Zhiruan’s pulse, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Zhou Family noticed his behavior immediately, and senior Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were the first to approach and asked, "What’s the matter?"

The old doctor closed his eyes and shook his head but did not answer them until he opened his eyes again and his expression turned into one of joy.

Seeing his expression, Su Zhiruan suddenly had a guess in her heart and preemptively called out to the system in her mind, "System, are you there?"

The system had been in hibernation for a long time and was now awakened by Su Zhiruan, vaguely asking.

[What’s the matter, host? Is there something wrong?]

"Am I pregnant?"

[Let me check!]The system immediately went to check Su Zhiruan’s physical condition.

In the next second, both the system and the old doctor spoke simultaneously.

[You are pregnant!]

"If I’m not mistaken, the grandson’s wife is expecting!" the old doctor stood up and congratulated, "It’s just my medical skills are not fine enough, otherwise a hospital check would confirm it!"

After he finished speaking, there was silence for three seconds, then, joy erupted simultaneously on everyone’s faces.

Zhou Mingyu was stunned, still holding Su Zhiruan’s hand when he heard the news, he looked towards Su Zhiruan.

The two looked at each other again.

"Ruanruan!! Mingyu! You have a child?!"

"Let’s go! To the hospital!" Mrs. Zhou hustled vigorously, shocked by the huge surprise, hastily ordering Madam Zhang to prepare things!

Su Zhiruan subconsciously touched her belly, her hand still held by Zhou Mingyu, whose hand also reached toward her lower abdomen.

*

The moment the test results were in hand, the surprise turned tangible.

The fetus was less than a month old, not even visually discernible, but the blood HCG test confirmed her pregnancy and indicated it was healthy.

Mrs. Zhou’s smile stretched all the way to her ears, while Mr. Zhou clasped his hands together, looking at Su Zhiruan with gratitude in his eyes.

Mrs. Zhou was on the phone to Mr. Zhou, sharing the good news, and he was hurriedly on his way.

Su Zhiruan’s parents, having heard the news, were also on their way.

Everyone was anxious, only Su Zhiruan helplessly shook Zhou Mingyu.

"Mr. Zhou, why the daze?" Su Zhiruan tried to struggle, but she found both her hands entirely engulfed in Zhou Mingyu’s palm where he cherished them as if they were the world’s most precious treasures.

"I, I can’t believe it, we’re actually having a child?! I’m going to be a dad!" Zhou Mingyu’s voice was a bit hoarse, he had never expected, someone like him who thought he was destined to be alone forever, would become a husband and a father to a child.
