Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 252 Is My Mom Going to Have a Younger Brother or Sister?

Lin Qingping saw the flickering flames in his eyes and knew that he was truly angry at this moment.

But so what?

Whose heart isn't being torn apart?

"Lin Qingping," he called her name in a low voice.

She could tell he was controlling his anger.

He took a deep breath and said, "Lin Qingping, I'm sorry. I know I'm often away from home, and it's been hard for you to support me all by yourself. I've been really busy these past two months. It's understandable that you're angry with me and have opinions about me. But right now, let's not take it out on the child. Let's go to the hospital for a checkup, okay? You can come back and do whatever you want."

She ignored him, walked past him, and hurried downstairs.

Doesn't she know whether she's pregnant or not?

He actually thought she was angry with him because he hadn't been home for a long time...

When I got downstairs, breakfast was already prepared. It was bought from outside: fried dough sticks, mutton buns, soy milk...

It was quite a feast. The mutton buns had thin skins and generous fillings, with oil seeping into the dough. They looked delicious.

Lin Qingping felt very hungry and then remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner last night.

She felt this was wrong; how could she punish herself for someone else's mistake? She absolutely had to eat two steamed buns later!

However, to her surprise, as soon as she took a bite of the mutton bun, her stomach started churning. She couldn't help but run to vomit, but her stomach was empty and nothing came out; all she could hear was the sound of gagging, which she couldn't control.

"Lin Qingping!" Gu Juncheng's stern voice rang out again from behind, "Don't be willful anymore! Go to the hospital right after breakfast!"

Lin Qingping recovered but still ignored him.

I sat back down at the table, no longer eating anything with a strong flavor, but just taking a steamed bun and eating it slowly with soy milk.

Zhiyuan was a sensitive person to begin with, and in this situation, he immediately fell silent, lowered his head, and obediently ate his breakfast.

Lin Qingping was quite hungry, and after eating half a steamed bun, she lost her appetite and stopped eating, returning upstairs.

Gu Juncheng wasn't going to let her off the hook. He frowned and said with a serious face, "Lin Qingping, change your clothes and get ready. I'll go to the hospital with you."

An unquestionable tone.

Lin Qingping thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."

Not for any other reason than that her illness in her previous life also started with inexplicable vomiting.

She was genuinely frustrated at that moment.

Did her illness come on early?

It felt like it was all preordained.

Look, Chen Xia, who never appeared in the previous life, has suddenly appeared in this one, and her illness is about to arrive earlier? Is this a good opportunity to make way for Chen Xia?

What is the significance of her rebirth?

Why be reborn?

I entered the room, suppressing the pain in my heart. When I was changing clothes, I wiped my face and realized that my hands were covered in wet stains.

No!

Don't cry...

She changed her clothes and carefully applied face cream. Few people used cosmetics back then, but Wu Tianjiao had bought her some. She used foundation to carefully cover the red marks around her eyes, making herself look more energetic.

Downstairs, Gu Juncheng didn't eat a single bite either, just sat there staring at the second floor.

Zhiyuan poked the back of his hand.

He looked at Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan lowered his voice and asked softly, "Dad, does Mom have any younger brothers or sisters?"

"You understand now?" Gu Juncheng's entire attention was focused upstairs.

"How could I not understand? Back in the village, when the aunties were about to give birth, that's how it was," Zhiyuan muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Gu Juncheng asked him, "Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "My younger brother, then."

After saying that, she glared at Gu Juncheng and said, "You made my mom angry."

Gu Juncheng: ...

You're really clever, kid!

However, Gu Juncheng thought for a moment and realized he could ask him, "Does your mother usually say anything about me?"

Zhiyuan thought for a moment and shook his head. "My mom is busy. She's studying, running a shop, and designing clothes. She doesn't have time to mention you."

Gu Juncheng: ...

"I'm never home, doesn't she complain?" Gu Juncheng still hoped to get some information out of Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan gave him a disdainful look. "What kind of person do you think my mother is? Is your awareness that low? You're a soldier, and she's a military wife. How could she not understand your work?"

Gu Juncheng sighed softly, his brows furrowing even deeper.

As they were talking, Lin Qingping came downstairs. When she saw Zhiyuan, she originally wanted to ask him to go to the hospital to have her tooth pulled, but then she worried that if something really happened to her, why should she let Zhiyuan know?

Forget it...

She silently picked up her bag, and without calling Gu Juncheng, prepared to leave.

She glanced at the bag of donkey rolls still on the table, picked it up and threw it into the trash can. "Zhiyuan, do your homework at home and take out the trash when you have time."

“Okay…” Zhiyuan looked at the trash can, not understanding why.

Gu Juncheng's expression changed slightly. "What's wrong with rolling on a donkey's back?"

"It's disgusting, it makes me want to vomit," she said coldly.

“Lin Qingping…”

Before Gu Juncheng could finish speaking, Lin Qingping opened the door and left, not intending to wait for him.

Gu Juncheng had no choice but to swallow his words and followed her out the door.

At that time, hospitals in the capital were not so crowded. Lin Qingping found a nearby hospital that later became very famous. When she stood at the window, she suddenly didn't know which number to register for.

Did you really see the department where she had her last illness in her past life?

The person at the window asked her a second time, "Which department do you want to go to?"

"Obstetrics and Gynecology," Gu Juncheng said from behind her.

Lin Qingping: ...

She's definitely not pregnant! Her period just ended!

However, for some reason, she felt a strong resistance to going to the department she was supposed to visit, and didn't want to face that moment again.

Maybe it's not that disease?

Lin Qingping thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the obstetrics and gynecology department. We'll just ask the doctor to order a comprehensive examination."

While waiting in line at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, she sat there, and Gu Juncheng kept walking back and forth in front of her.

It wasn't until the nurse saw him that she said, "Sir, you can either sit down and wait, or you can stand in the corner. There are many pregnant women here, and it's not good if you walk around and bump into them."

Gu Juncheng quickly apologized and sat down next to Lin Qingping. When he sat down, he touched her hand and instinctively took it.

Lin Qingping silently pulled her hand away, but she could already feel that his hand was trembling and his palm was covered in sweat.

They called her name from inside.

She hurried inside, his voice calling anxiously from behind, "Can you slow down?"

Lin Qingping ignored him.

Since she was already at the OB-GYN, she described her vomiting symptoms, and the doctor ordered tests for her, which were, of course, prenatal tests.

As expected, she was not pregnant.

"Did you catch a cold? Or is your stomach upset?" the doctor asked her.

"I don't know either, doctor. How about you give me a full checkup?"
