Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 458 Chengzi!

Liu Fen's steamed chicken with soy sauce.

The strong flavor of fermented black beans and the large amount of ginger are all masking flavors.

Normally, Lin Qingping would have enjoyed the meal immensely, but today, a familiar medicinal smell wafted through the strong aroma of soy sauce and ginger, entering Lin Qingping's nose.

The smell of medicine is impossible to mask!

Lin Qingping was wondering what to do. If she didn't take it, would her mother-in-law use all sorts of bizarre methods to force her to take the medicine? It seemed like going crazy was the only way out.

Suddenly, she vaguely heard the sound of a car approaching outside. It seemed to be parked right in front of her house, followed by a loud slam of the car door closing.

Lin Qingping then made up her mind.

She pretended not to know anything and took a small bite of chicken.

Liu Fen had been watching her closely, and when she finally saw her start eating the chicken, she breathed a huge sigh of relief, her joy barely concealed.

Lin Qingping dared not swallow, but acted. As she chewed, she picked up the bowl, pretended to eat, spat the chicken back into the bowl, covered the spat-out chicken with rice, and then pretended to eat the next piece.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door, and a tall figure appeared, carrying with him the dampness of the sea.

Lin Qingping's brows furrowed slightly.

"Chengzi!" Liu Fen was overjoyed to see her son.

Gu Juncheng hummed in agreement, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Qingping. Seeing that she didn't look well, he frowned slightly, but the frown vanished in an instant.

"How have you been these past few days? Is the child still bothering you?" He walked up to her and asked softly.

Lin Qingping didn't look up. Her face, already pale and bluish from the continuous morning sickness, was now even more furrowed, her features scrunched up.

"What's wrong?" Gu Juncheng's expression immediately turned serious.

"I...I have a stomachache..." Lin Qingping bit her lip, looking pained.

Gu Juncheng was shocked. He bent down, picked up Lin Qingping, and ran to the infirmary.

Liu Fen and Gu Dafu also got anxious and followed closely behind.

"Is it very painful? Are there any other abnormalities?" Gu Juncheng ran fast and steadily, and Lin Qingping could hardly feel the bumps in his arms.

Lin Qingping simply frowned, humming softly, without saying a word.

Gu Juncheng was even more anxious and rushed her to the infirmary.

Upon seeing this, the infirmary immediately suggested that Gu Juncheng take her to a local hospital.

Gu Juncheng dared not delay any longer and immediately contacted the island to leave. He carried Lin Qingping onto the boat, and Liu Fen and Gu Dafu also hurriedly followed.

Upon arriving at the local hospital, I registered for an appointment with the obstetrics department. The doctor ordered a series of tests, and thankfully, the results came back normal. However, the doctor advised me to be careful during the first few months and gave me some instructions.

"Why does my stomach hurt?" Gu Juncheng was still worried about this question.

The doctor asked, "What did you eat?"

Lin Qingping looked distressed. "I'm having morning sickness, I can't eat anything. I only ate some chicken for lunch and then it started."

"Chicken? That shouldn't be the case. Is it unsanitary? Is it not fresh?" The doctor suspected gastroenteritis.

“No, it was killed on the spot,” Lin Qingping said.

The doctor also started to think, "That shouldn't be the case. Could there be some kind of tonic in the chicken?"

Liu Fen, who was standing to the side, immediately changed her expression.

Lin Qingping frowned. "There is indeed a medicinal smell."

"What medicine? Let me see. There are some medicines that pregnant women can't take."
