Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1600: Sleeping Around



"What happened to her all of a sudden?" Ming Rusheng panicked, pacing outside the hospital room. "She hasn't eaten anything for the past two days and feels sick all the time."

"Don't worry. The doctor is checking her," Zhang Jie tried to assure him.

"How long will it take? Do these doctors even know what they're doing?"

"First, stop pacing and sit down," Zhang Jie ordered. "It won't make the doctors work faster."

"This Jiang Yang, he had to be on leave today, of all days," Ming Rusheng frowned.

"He's a cardiologist, Rusheng."

"I know, Mother, but he knows everything about this hospital and the doctors. Things would have been faster with him here."

"Do you think, with the Ming family present, the president himself here, and the patient being his wife, the doctors would be careless? Stop fretting, or I'll call your grandfather to come here."

As if he heard something good, Ming Rusheng said, "Why didn't I think of that? If Grandpa were here, he'd scold the entire hospital. He loves Lian very much." Ming Rusheng pulled out his phone. "I'll get him here..."

Zhang Jie snatched away his phone and mumbled, "Why did I remind you of your grandpa? Both of you together would turn this hospital upside down and cause chaos like an earthquake."

"Mother..."

"No, you are not calling your grandpa. Keeping you in control is already tough for me," she said, putting his phone in her bag.

After a while, which felt like an eternity to Ming Rusheng, a senior lady doctor stepped out of the examination room. Ming Rusheng hurried towards her, but before he could speak, the doctor handed him the reports, her face expressionless.

Panicked, Ming Rusheng accepted the reports, his hands trembling. He read through the report and looked at the doctor. "This?"

"Congratulations, President Ming," the doctor said, pulling out a smile. "You can meet your wife now. Later, you can come to see me."

He didn't know how to react and looked at his mother, who was beaming. She grabbed the report from his hand. "Just as I expected," she smiled widely, looking at her shocked son. "You are going to be a father, and I am going to be a grandmother."

Ming Rusheng regained his senses and ran inside the room where Lu Lian was sitting on the bed, looking tired. She looked at him, a light smile playing on her lips, despite she looked a little weak.

He sat at the edge of the bed and hugged her without saying a word. Lu Lian hugged him back, neither of them able to find words.

Zhang Jie watched the two, her eyes moistened with tears. Leaving them alone in such an emotional moment, she stepped out of the room and pulled out the phone from her bag to inform the family members.

Ming Rusheng released her from his hold and looked at her, his hands holding hers, waves of various emotions visible in his eyes. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," she said, her eyes moist, a light smile on her lips. "But, was that the first thing you were supposed to say?"

"Your wellbeing is the priority," he said. "I... saw the report..."

"And?"

"I feel like it's a dream," he replied softly, his eyes gazing into hers to make sure it was reality.

She cupped his face in her hands. "It's not a dream, Rusheng," she said, pecking his lips. "That report is the truth. You are going to be a father, and I am going to be a mother." Her happiness was evident in her teary eyes and her smile. "Congratulations, father-to-be."

His face mirrored her happiness as he wiped the tears from her cheek and kissed her. "Congratulations to you too, mother-to-be."

They laughed softly, their emotions filled with deep happiness. Ming Rusheng closed the distance and kissed her, both pouring their feelings into it.

Zhang Jie finished making calls and stepped back into the room, a nurse following behind. Both saw the couple kissing and exchanged a smile before turning back to leave, not wanting to disturb them.

After a while, Ming Rusheng stepped out of the hospital room and saw his mother. "I am going to talk to the doctor, and then we'll go home."

She nodded. "I'll stay with her."

Ming Rusheng left while Zhang Jie entered the room, all smiles. "Congratulations, Lian," she said as she sat at the edge of the bed.

"Thank you, Mother."

"I have never seen Rusheng lost in happiness like this."

Lu Lian nodded. "I've seen him happy before, but I could feel it was different this time."

"When the doctor handed him the report, he went mute all of a sudden and didn't know what to say even when the doctor congratulated him."

As they talked more about his reaction, both continued to laugh.

After a while, Ming Rusheng returned from visiting the doctor, a file in his hands. They left for home, where Elder Ming was waiting along with Ming Yusheng.

The family, overjoyed, congratulated her, and when they settled down, Elder Ming spoke, "Now that old Lu Huan will be able to mock anymore, saying I don't have any more grandchildren." He looked at Lian. "As much as I am delighted to have a grandchild finally, I must say you are an angel to save my face against that annoying Lu Huan."

"Father, you're forgetting that the one you're talking about is her grandfather," Ming Yusheng tried to control his father.

"So? The child she will give birth to is my grandchild, Ming family's blood, and will have the Ming family name. Lu Huan has nothing to do with it." He looked at Lu Lian. "Am I right?"

Lu Lian was aware of how her grandfather had been annoying Elder Ming since Lu Bao had given birth to her daughter, and now her older brother Lu Han was going to give another grandchild to him.

"Yes, Grandpa. You're right," she smiled. "Now you can fight with my grandpa even better and shut his mouth."

Elder Ming laughed heartily. "See, I'm not wrong when I say you're an angel. Only you understand me."

Others could only laugh at the excited old man.

"I will call that old man and tell him the news myself," Elder Ming said, pulling out his

phone.

Not willing to hear the childish banter of the two overgrown men, Ming Rusheng took Lu Lian

to her room. "You should rest."

"I will. You should go to the office. You're already late."

"I'm not going."

"Hmm?"

"I want to be with you."

"I can't say no to it," she said, "what did the doctor say?"

They settled on the bed in the room and Ming Rusheng handed her over the file. She looked

through it and then gasped with certain realisation.

"What happened?" Ming Rusheng asked.

"It says six weeks pregnant," she muttered.

"So?"

"We have been married only for a few days and I am six weeks pregnant," she said, "I mean,

everyone will know I conceived it before our marriage."

"Doesn't matter," he assured, "we don't live in old times now. Do you think my mother didn't

notice. But all she felt was happiness."

"That's right," she agreed.

"Everyone is happy and you should not think about other things as well. our families are

already aware we have been sleeping around for long already, that we are not patient."

She slapped on his arm gently to hear what he said. "Can't deny it, but at least don't say 'sleeping around'."

"I tell the truth," he said and sighed helplessly, "From sleeping around...hmm... we won't be

doing that for a while."

"Doctor must have told you already. She must have guessed you are a horny man," Lu Lian laughed looking at his sad face.

"It's fine. It won't be long till we can resume it," he said, more like comforting himself.

She patted his shoulder, "Time to practice celibacy for a while now, Mister Ming." "Anything for you," he replied and pecked on her lips, making her to rest in bed.
