“Mrs. Zhan, why are you still here?”
A passing obstetrician walked over.
Chen Yutong turned around and saw it was the doctor who had examined her yesterday.
“Madam, you are pregnant now, it’s best to rest more and not worry about hospital matters.”
Hearing the doctor’s advice, Chen Yutong nodded, “Mmm, I know.”
“Madam, have you not told Mr. Zhan yet?” the doctor saw the crux of Chen Yutong’s problem.
He believed that if Zhan Yang knew Chen Yutong was pregnant, he would never let her run to the hospital like this.
Chen Yutong was a little embarrassed, “I haven’t found a suitable opportunity to tell him yet, after all, this is a very important matter.”
The doctor nodded, “I understand how you feel. Such an important matter should be announced at an appropriate time, but I still advise you not to wait too long.”
After Chen Yutong agreed, the doctor left contentedly.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. She had originally wanted to announce this as a good omen during a difficult time, in front of Grandpa Zhan and Zhan Yang. However, the situation at the time was not good, and both Grandpa and Zhan Yang were in low spirits, so she didn’t say it in the end.
Even now, she didn’t know when would be a good time to tell Zhan Yang.
“Sis… Sister-in-law, you’re here.” Mu Linjing, who had just returned from shopping, saw Chen Yutong.
Chen Yutong nodded, “Mmm, I came to see Grandpa.”
Mu Linjing was still a little confused because she saw the obstetrician chatting with Chen Yutong. Since Wei Yumeng was being treated there recently, she knew the doctor.
“That, Sister-in-law…” Mu Linjing said, looking at Chen Yutong, making Chen Yutong feel uncomfortable all over.
“Sister-in-law, are you expecting?” Mu Linjing asked directly. “That doctor just now should have been doing a prenatal check-up.”
Chen Yutong was slightly stunned. She hadn’t expected Mu Linjing to have seen it.
She had no choice but to nod, “Mmm, I’m already four months along. I only found out yesterday.”
Hearing this, Mu Linjing felt a little sad, “It must be because of recent events. Our minds have been on Grandpa and Yumeng. You are in a special condition now, so don’t bother with hospital matters anymore.”
Chen Yutong looked at Mu Linjing, “There’s something I need to ask you for help with. Please don’t let Yumeng know about this for now. I’m afraid she…”
Before she could finish speaking, the ward door was pushed open, and Wei Yumeng looked at the two of them with confusion, “What is something you can’t tell me?”
Mu Linjing immediately froze. It was true that the person she feared seeing had appeared.
“N-nothing.” Mu Linjing waved her hands.
She understood Chen Yutong’s concerns. Wei Yumeng had just lost her child, and now Chen Yutong was pregnant, which would surely be a blow to Wei Yumeng.
However, Wei Yumeng said seriously, “You don’t think I could hear anything inside, do you? I heard your voices, that’s why I opened the door.”
Now Mu Linjing felt even more guilty and could only look to Chen Yutong for help.
Chen Yutong didn’t know if Wei Yumeng was telling the truth, but when Wei Yumeng opened the door, it seemed like she had indeed heard something.
“Um, we…” Chen Yutong was still trying to figure out how to explain.
Chen Yutong really wanted to tell everyone the news directly, but she had to be considerate now.
“It’s actually not that important,” Chen Yutong said. “I recently saw a very nice shop, but they only have things you can’t eat there, so Linjing and I decided not to tell you about it for now.”
Mu Linjing quickly nodded, “That’s exactly right. I didn’t expect you to have heard it.”
Wei Yumeng looked suspicious. She had indeed been bluffing just now, but she didn’t expect Chen Yutong to not fall for it.
Since Chen Yutong had said so, how could she ask further?
Mu Linjing quickly changed the subject, “Oh right, Yumeng, I just bought some food Grandpa can eat, and I asked Mr. Ren to help with the preparation. He can eat it directly now.”
Wei Yumeng reached out to take it, but Mu Linjing didn’t hand it over. “You should rest well. Wait for me, I’ll escort you back to your room.”
With that, Mu Linjing walked into the ward.
Wei Yumeng and Chen Yutong stood in the corridor, the atmosphere a bit awkward. Chen Yutong reached out to help Wei Yumeng to a nearby chair.
However, Wei Yumeng noticed that Chen Yutong’s movements seemed more cautious than before, and when she sat down, she instinctively touched her stomach.
She was all too familiar with such a gesture, having just gone through it herself.
“Yutong… are you pregnant?” Wei Yumeng asked directly.
Chen Yutong was taken aback, “I… I’m not. Don’t imagine things.”
Now Wei Yumeng understood even more why Mu Linjing and Chen Yutong wanted to keep it from her. Because she had just experienced the loss of a child, they were both worried about hurting her again.
Wei Yumeng reached out and held Chen Yutong’s hand, “It’s actually okay with me now. You don’t have to be so cautious all the time. Your situation is good news for all of us, and after so many things have happened in the family recently, there’s finally some good news from you.”
“Do you really think so?” Chen Yutong was still hesitant.
Wei Yumeng smiled and nodded, “Of course. By the way, does Big Brother know about this?”
Chen Yutong shook her head, “I haven’t found an opportunity to tell him yet.”
Wei Yumeng suddenly thought of an idea, “I have a good plan. I asked Dr. Vincent earlier, and in about a week, as long as my body is fine, I can go home to recuperate. When that time comes, I’ll ask Mo Han to host a family gathering, and you can announce the news to everyone then. What do you think?”
Wei Yumeng said with genuine happiness on her face, “Although Grandpa may not be able to join us for the gathering, we can use video to include Grandpa. What do you think?”
Chen Yutong finally nodded, “Okay, let’s do as you say.”
Looking at Wei Yumeng’s happy expression, Chen Yutong felt a pang of guilt.
In fact, she had overheard the conversation at the ward door earlier. She heard Grandpa Zhan say that he would give more inheritance to Wei Yumeng and her child.
At that moment, she was extremely jealous. Since her child would also be born soon, why wouldn't she want to receive the same treatment?
Wei Yumeng, seeing Chen Yutong’s silence, thought she was nervous and patted her hand again, “Don’t worry, everything will go smoothly.”
“Mmm.” Chen Yutong also smiled at Wei Yumeng.
When Mu Linjing came out after feeding Grandpa Zhan, Wei Yumeng told her about her plan.
Mu Linjing naturally agreed enthusiastically, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle the specific arrangements. For the next two days, you two should just rest well.”
