Chapter 1582 Middle-aged Women
Fu Yanchen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt like a heavy stone had been lifted off his feet, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly bent down, leaning slightly forward, and gently and carefully straightened Xu Xiaoxiao's clothes.
He carefully smoothed out every wrinkle and tucked in every corner of the garment perfectly.
During the process of tidying up, his fingers accidentally touched Xu Xiaoxiao's skin. The touch was slightly cool, but it gave him a slight jolt.
His movements became even gentler, as if he were holding not an ordinary piece of clothing, but an incomparably precious treasure that would be damaged at the slightest carelessness.
His fingers gently caressed Xu Xiaoxiao's clothes, feeling the delicate texture, as if he could touch her body through the fabric.
The subtle sensation made him a little distracted, but he tried his best to control himself and continue to focus on tidying his clothes.
After tidying up, he gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, his voice full of reassurance: "It's alright, it's alright, it was a false alarm. Xiaoxiao, you... you really scared me. It's alright now, let's go home."
Xu Xiaoxiao was still shaken. She subconsciously reached out a hand and gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, as if she could feel the safe presence of the baby inside her.
She let out a long sigh of relief, her voice trembling slightly with a hint of relief: "I was so scared. My stomach suddenly started hurting, and all I could think about was the worst. I was so worried that something might happen to the baby, that's why I was so nervous. Yan Chen, do you understand how I feel?"
"Understood, understood." Would Fu Yanchen dare say he didn't understand? Unless he wanted to sleep in the guest room.
At this moment, the doctor calmly said, "Mr. Fu, your wife will experience this many more times in the future... You don't need to make a fuss. It's normal in late pregnancy. As long as there's no bleeding, it's fine."
The doctor's voice was calm and steady, as if he had seen this kind of thing many times before.
The doctor slowly put down his pen and then carefully searched through the table piled with various documents and materials to find Xu Xiaoxiao's medical record.
Gently turning the thick stack of papers, it felt as if each page carried the weight of the patient's life.
The doctor's gaze fell on the medical record, and he read every line carefully, not missing a single detail.
He sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, sometimes seemed lost in thought, and sometimes frowned slightly.
As he read on, his expression gradually became serious, and his originally relaxed expression was replaced by solemnity.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes revealing concern and seriousness.
He gazed at her, as if trying to imprint his words deeply into her heart.
"Doctor... your expression is scary. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Mrs. Fu,"
His voice was deep and gentle, tinged with worry, “You are now in your late pregnancy, a very critical stage. Your health is already not good, and you are under tremendous pressure, making it the most dangerous time. So please be extra careful.”
He paused briefly before continuing, "Do some appropriate activities every day, take a walk, move your limbs, rest in bed at noon, and ensure you get enough sleep. This will reduce the burden on your body and allow you and your baby to receive better care."
Xu Xiaoxiao listened quietly.
"After all, your physical condition is not particularly outstanding, so you need to be extra careful in everything you do in your daily life."
“Take exercise for example. You can choose to take a moderate walk in a place with fresh air, a pleasant environment, and relative quiet. But you must remember to avoid participating in overly strenuous sports. Do you understand?” Xu Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Strenuous exercise includes abstaining from sexual intercourse. This is not to intentionally restrict your life, but because it is good for you and the baby. Please remember this for your own health and for a safe delivery."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Xu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly flushed red, the color of a ripe apple, instantly making her originally fair skin even more delicate and beautiful.
She lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, as if trying to hide her shyness.
However, this action only made her mind more chaotic.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself: How could this doctor be so funny! She was so worried about her baby's health that she had no time to think about anything else.
Xu Xiaoxiao's mind was filled with images of her baby, and she worried about whether the baby was healthy and whether there might be any problems.
These worries left her no time to think about anything else, let alone what the doctor had said.
Fu Yanchen stood to the side, his expression a little strange. He was stunned for a moment, and then an unnatural blush appeared on his face.
He coughed lightly, trying to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, then nodded to the doctor and said, "Doctor, we've got it. We'll definitely do exactly as you say to ensure that Xiaoxiao and the baby are both safe and sound."
After saying goodbye to the doctor, Fu Yanchen carefully helped Xu Xiaoxiao out of the hospital.
Outside the hospital at night, the streetlights cast a soft glow, elongating their shadows.
Fu Yanchen gently comforted Xu Xiaoxiao, asking her from time to time if she felt unwell anywhere.
The two got into the car, and Fu Yanchen carefully adjusted her seat and fastened her seatbelt before slowly starting the car and driving towards home.
Throughout the journey, Xu Xiaoxiao leaned back in her seat, her eyes still showing a hint of relaxation after exhaustion.
Fu Yanchen glanced at her every now and then through the rearview mirror, his heart filled with tenderness.
After returning home, Xu Xiaoxiao quickly washed up and went to bed.
Perhaps because of the previous fright, or perhaps because Fu Yanchen's presence gave her a sense of security, Xu Xiaoxiao slept very soundly in the latter half of the night, with a faint smile on her face, as if she were having a sweet dream.
The next morning, sunlight streamed gently into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Because of the ordeal at the hospital last night, Fu Yanchen woke up a little late.
He hurriedly got up, quickly washed up, and without even having a proper breakfast, grabbed his coat and rushed to the company.
All the way there, he was still thinking about Xu Xiaoxiao and the baby in her belly. It wasn't until the car stopped downstairs at the company that he brought his thoughts back to work.
As soon as Fu Yanchen stepped out of the elevator, he saw his secretary, Lin Nuo, come to greet him.
Lin Nuo, dressed in a neat business suit and wearing a professional smile, said, "Mr. Fu, there is a middle-aged woman waiting for you in your office."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen frowned instantly, a sense of doubt welling up in his heart.
He stopped and looked at Lin Nuo, asking, "Middle-aged woman, did she say who she was?"
Lin Nuo shook his head and said with a hint of helplessness, "No, I just said you'll know when you see her."
Now, Fu Yanchen's brows furrowed even deeper, as if they could trap a fly.
A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes as he pondered who this mysterious middle-aged woman was and what her purpose was in seeking him out.
He straightened his tie, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy." With that, he strode steadily toward his office.
With each step, Fu Yanchen's nerves were on edge. He imagined what the strange woman in the office looked like and guessed what news she might bring. Who exactly was this person?
Finally, he arrived at the office door, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the door open.
What I saw was...
