Chapter 147: She's having twins.
Aunt Li's surprised face clearly showed joy as she hurriedly went to greet him, "Mr. He, you're back."
He Yi gave Aunt Li a faint "hmm" and strode over to Gu Zhiyao.
Actually, a glint of light had flashed in Gu Zhiyao's eyes just now, but she quickly hid it, becoming expressionless as she was now, seemingly completely unaware of his arrival.
He Yijian frowned slightly, then instructed Aunt Li, "Pack your things, prepare everything needed for the prenatal checkup, I'm taking her to the hospital."
Aunt Li quickly accepted the order and immediately got to work.
Gu Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, today is the day I had my prenatal checkup appointment with Dr. Zhou. She had mentioned it to He Yi before, and he promised her that he would make time to accompany her to her first prenatal checkup, no matter how busy he was.
I didn't expect him to still remember his promise?
However, Gu Zhiyao showed no joy whatsoever; she didn't even glance at He Yi.
He Yi frowned slightly, but remained silent. After Aunt Li finished packing her things, he instructed her to help Gu Zhiyao.
Aunt Li quickly asked Gu Zhiyao, "Do you want to change your clothes? Or will you just wear this dress out?"
This dress is for maternity wear; you can wear it at home or out.
Anyway, there's a car to pick me up and drop me off for prenatal checkups, so it's fine even if I don't need to change cars.
In the end, Gu Zhiyao didn't change her mind.
"Let's go then. Based on the date, the baby should be 9 weeks along; many signs can be seen now," Aunt Li said casually as she carefully helped Gu Zhiyao up.
Gu Zhiyao didn't want to make things difficult for Aunt Li, and besides, she also wanted to check on the baby's condition.
And so, the group left their home.
A driver was on duty to drive, He Yi sat in the passenger seat, and Aunt Li accompanied Gu Zhiyao in the back seat.
We arrived at the hospital in about 20 minutes.
Because of He Yi's special status, and because everyone knows that he is about to marry the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, Gu Zhiyao's pregnancy must not be known to anyone. Therefore, Zhou Mei is in charge of all prenatal checkups, including ultrasounds.
The hospital happens to be a property under the He Group, and it has a dedicated VIP ultrasound room reserved for the wealthy and powerful. There were no other pregnant women inside at the moment, only Zhou Mei and Gu Zhiyao; even Aunt Li was waiting outside.
While undergoing an ultrasound, Zhou Mei stared at the computer screen, and suddenly frowned.
Gu Zhiyao noticed this and quickly asked, "Aunt Zhou, is something wrong with the baby?"
A moment later, Zhou Mei looked up from the computer and smiled at Gu Zhiyao, "The baby is fine, but there's a special situation... you have two embryos in your belly, you're having twins!"
twin?
She was actually pregnant with twins?
Gu Zhiyao was immediately dumbfounded.
Zhou Mei continued happily, "You've always said you hoped to have twins, and I never thought you'd actually get pregnant! With twins, we'll have to be even more careful; it seems I'll need to prepare another report..."
"Aunt Zhou!" Suddenly, Gu Zhiyao called out to the old doctor. Meeting the old doctor's kind smile, she took a deep breath and resolutely said, "Could you please not tell me for now that I'm pregnant with twins?"
The old doctor was taken aback. "Leaving aside the fact that they're twins? You mean you don't want Mr. He to know?"
Gu Zhiyao nodded, "Mm."
"Why?" Zhou Mei was a smart woman. After thinking for a while, she vaguely guessed the reason, and the smile on her face instantly froze.
Gu Zhiyao felt guilty. "I know this request is a bit excessive. After all, you are a doctor. How can you issue reports randomly? But Aunt Zhou, since we have a close relationship, and I have been kind enough to recognize you as my godmother, I hope you can help me out. I will take full responsibility for any consequences. I will explain everything clearly."
“Don’t talk nonsense. Yes, as doctors, we must adhere to our duties, but the patient’s wishes should always come first. Since this is what you’ve asked for, I will definitely help you,” Zhou Mei said firmly.
Gu Zhiyao immediately burst into tears, looking at the old lady with emotion and gratitude.
Zhou Mei gently patted her hand and said earnestly, "Although I don't know why you did this or what you're planning, remember that I will always stand by your side. I worked hard all my life just so that my daughter could have the best life she wanted. But in the end, I lost her. Now I'm all alone, with nothing to hold me back. I'm not afraid."
"Thank you, Auntie. If things really come to light, I will take full responsibility and will make sure you are not implicated."
"It's alright, Auntie isn't afraid."
Gu Zhiyao looked at Zhou Mei gratefully for a while, then said with tears in her eyes, "A few days ago, that woman came to our door. Auntie, I thought I could finally find a little happiness, but it turns out I've been living in a dream all along. Actually, right now I don't know why I hid the fact that I'm pregnant with twins, but I just wanted to be like this."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei immediately understood.
She held Gu Zhiyao's hand with even more tenderness, "Okay, do whatever you want to do. Just tell me if you need anything from Auntie, and Auntie will do her best!"
"Yes, thank you!"
Ten minutes later, Zhou Mei led Gu Zhiyao out of the ultrasound room.
Aunt Li immediately went to greet her. Seeing that Gu Zhiyao's eyes were a little red as if she had been crying, she was stunned for a moment, wondering if something had happened and if there was a problem with the baby.
But then Zhou Mei took them back to the department and reported the detailed situation of the fetus. They found that the fetus was fine at all, developing quite well, and weighing enough!
Aunt Li stopped thinking about it and happily thanked Dr. Zhou. Gu Zhiyao and Zhou Mei exchanged a meaningful glance before leaving.
He Yi couldn't go along, so after dropping Gu Zhiyao off at the hospital, he had Aunt Li accompany her inside for a checkup while he waited in the car. Of course, he wasn't idle either; he was working on his laptop the whole time.
The car door opened, and seeing that Gu Zhiyao had returned, he put away his laptop.
Aunt Li couldn't wait to report the situation, "The baby is doing well, and the doctor even said that the fetus is big enough. I think it should be a big, healthy boy!"
He Yi was also stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously swept towards Gu Zhiyao.
Gu Zhiyao felt a sudden surge of nervousness, but she quickly calmed down, got into the car without saying a word, and sat down, her eyes fixed straight ahead.
Aunt Li hoped that Gu Zhiyao and President He would talk more, since more conversations would foster a better relationship. However, she realized that Gu Zhiyao had no such intention, and President He was a cold and aloof person, so she pursed her lips and said no more.
He Yi stared intently at Gu Zhiyao for a moment, then turned around and sat up straight without saying anything.
The car started moving and drove all the way back to its residence.
