Gu Nian: "..."
Grandpa, your presence was quite imposing.
The director instantly understood, and even Shi Hongze's surprised gaze fell on Gu Nian's belly.
Chu Zhaoyang frowned and shifted closer to Gu Nian, blocking Shi Hongze's gaze.
Seriously, where was he looking?!
Shi Hongze: "..."
Look at him being so petty, just looking at the belly, was it not allowed?
After greeting the elders and expressing their respect, the director realized it wasn't appropriate to keep so many doctors here. He asked all doctors except those from the obstetrics and gynecology department to return to their posts before leading everyone to the maternity department.
The onlookers left behind stared in astonishment as they departed.
In wealthy families like this, it's common for a daughter-in-law to be rewarded after giving birth to a son.
But it's rare to see such a grand celebration just after getting pregnant, with both families so involved.
Everyone couldn't help but admire Gu Nian's good fortune.
Not only did she marry into a prestigious family like the Chu's, but she also earned the love and favor of the elders and her husband.
Even in ordinary families, this would be hard to achieve.
***
After undergoing examinations surrounded by so many people, Gu Nian felt embarrassed as she left the maternity department.
However, the results were good, reassuring Gu Nian to maintain a calm demeanor.
Besides avoiding vigorous activities like running and jumping, she could continue with her normal routine.
With these results, the elders were also reassured.
The old lady started thinking about what supplements to prepare for Gu Nian.
Fortunately, the doctor advised against overly nourishing foods in the first three months, suggesting to observe what a pregnant woman enjoyed eating.
By the fourth or fifth month, as the body started losing calcium and other nutrients, she could begin supplementing her diet appropriately.
However, it should be in moderation to avoid overfeeding the fetus, which was not good for both the mother and the baby.
Chu Zhaoyang also called in the staff from the Chutian Postpartum Care Center behind Chutian Hospital to discuss with the doctors about Gu Nian's current situation and planned suitable foods for her.
From meals to supplements, everything was listed out.
Updates would be made according to her condition during each prenatal checkup.
Once everything was settled, the group left in a grand manner.
Although the director didn't bid farewell with as many doctors this time, he personally waited in the lobby.
As they walked towards the exit, they met Fu Yinxiu, Ming Yutong, and Fu Jingshi, a family of three coming in.
While in Country Y, Gu Nian was kidnapped, and Fu Yinxiu also helped a lot. Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang were very grateful to Fu Yinxiu.
They didn't expect to meet at the hospital today, so Gu Nian immediately waved to them.
Fu Jingshi immediately let go of Ming Yutong's hand when he saw Little Millet Cake and ran over, calling out, "Little Millet Cake!"
"Brother Jingshi!" Little Millet Cake also ran out happily.
Although Fu Jingshi was happy to see Little Millet Cake, he didn't forget his manners and stopped in front of everyone, politely greeting them one by one.
Fu Yinxiu and Ming Yutong walked over hand in hand. In front of the two elders and Gu Licheng couple, Ming Yutong did not mention it.
"Why did you come to the hospital?" Chu Zhaoyang asked what Gu Nian wanted to ask.
Looking at Fu Yinxiu and Ming Yutong, none of them looked like they were sick, and Fu Jingshi didn't seem ill either.
"There's nothing wrong, just coming in for a regular check-up," Ming Yutong explained with a smile.
This relieved Gu Nian. "You scared me. Just now seeing you all was such a surprise, but meeting at a hospital really isn't a pleasant surprise."
"And what about you?" Ming Yutong looked surprised to see the whole family there.
Fu Yinxiu knew about Gu Nian's pregnancy, and Ming Yutong likely knew too.
Gu Nian said, "I'm pregnant, right? The elders at home are worried, so they came along for a check-up."
"Yes," Ming Yutong nodded. "I kept forgetting to congratulate you."
The old lady blinked. "Does Yinxiu know too?"
"We met him when we were in Country Y," Chu Zhaoyang explained. "Gu Nian wasn't feeling well at the time, and it was Fu Yinxiu who helped us take her to the hospital."
The old lady understood then and thanked Fu Yinxiu.
"This is something only you all know for now. Let's not spread it yet," Gu Nian said. "Grandma said not to talk about it for the first three months."
"Don't worry," Ming Yutong said enviously, looking at Gu Nian's belly. "When it gets bigger and starts moving, let me touch it."
Ming Yutong had her own child, Fu Jingshi, but she hadn't fully recovered and Fu Yinxiu didn't plan on having another child before then.
This made Ming Yutong anxious, as she wanted to give Fu Jingshi a younger brother or sister.
Seeing Gu Nian pregnant, she was quite envious.
Gu Nian didn't say much about letting Ming Yutong have another child and said, "Once I stabilize, I'll come find you."
"Okay, but before that, I can come find you," Ming Yutong said with a smile.
"That would be wonderful," Gu Nian said happily.
Chu Zhaoyang wouldn't let her work during the first three months.
Gu Nian thought it was better to stay at home during the first three months.
Although she felt fine now and the check-up results were good, the bleeding incident in Country Y still scared her.
To reassure the elders and herself, to avoid any accidents outside and regret later.
But after all, she was used to working outside, and thinking about the next two months of doing nothing at home made Gu Nian felt uncomfortable.
So Ming Yutong coming to see her was really great.
Gu Nian made an appointment with Ming Yutong, and with so many elders there, Ming Yutong couldn't delay any longer and said goodbye to Gu Nian.
