Business at the flower shop had been booming lately. Watching several rows in the display window empty out, Su Xianyu decided to go out and select some more flower seedlings.
But just as she reached the entrance of the gardening store, a sudden bout of dizziness washed over her. Her vision went black, and she collapsed.
This frightened Jiang Lin, who had come with her. He quickly reached out to catch her. "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Su Xianyu seemed to have lost consciousness, he immediately took out his phone and dialed the emergency number. He rushed her to the nearby hospital for treatment.
However, he wasn't a family member. What if the hospital needed a family member's signature during the emergency treatment?
Right! Didn't the boss have a boyfriend? He'd better inform him to come over first.
Recalling that Su Xianyu had once told them that if she couldn't be reached in case of an emergency, they should call that number, he quickly took out his phone and dialed it.
Once, twice...
The cold ringing sound went on from start to finish, but there was no answer on the other end of the phone.
This guy was really unreliable! Just when he was needed, he couldn't be found!
Just as Jiang Lin was about to give up, suddenly, the phone was answered.
A cold male voice came through. "I'm Feng Lin."
That was right. He'd heard the boss mention this name before. It was her boyfriend's name.
"You finally answered the phone! Something's wrong. Hurry over here!"
"The boss went out with us to purchase flower seedlings today. She suddenly fainted and is now in the hospital!"
"What!" Feng Lin's pupils constricted. "Which hospital are you at?"
"The Second Hospital near Wang's Gardening Store. By the way, does the boss have any other relatives? I'm worried the hospital will need a family member's signature later."
But Xiao Yu was an orphan. Where could she have any relatives!
Feng Lin didn't answer. He just instructed, "Please help take care of her. Make all decisions with Xiao Yu's safety as the top priority. I'll be there right away."
"Okay, I understand."
By the time he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, Su Xianyu had already regained consciousness and was resting on the hospital bed.
It was a cold late - autumn day, but there were already fine beads of sweat on Feng Lin's forehead. He quickly walked into the ward and held Su Xianyu's hand.
"Xiao Yu, do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? How do you feel?"
Seeing her shaking her head with a faint smile, Feng Lin's tightly knitted brows didn't relax. He got up and looked at the doctor beside him.
Seeing his nervous expression, the doctor said with a smile, "You must be her husband. Congratulations! You're going to be a father..."
"What did you say?"
Feng Lin's phoenix - shaped eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Xianyu pulled his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen. "A Lin, we're going to have a baby."
It took Feng Lin a while to come to his senses. His eyes were filled with ecstasy.
A child... He was going to have a child, a child of his and Xiao Yu's!
The hand he placed on Su Xianyu's body began to tremble slightly at the fingertips. He didn't dare to use any force at all, as if he was afraid of breaking something.
"Really? I... He..." Feng Lin became incoherent.
The doctor had seen this kind of scene many times. He left the room with a gratified smile, planning to come back later to give some instructions after they had calmed down from their excitement.
Jiang Lin beside them looked a bit dejected. He quietly backed out of the ward and closed the door for this new pair of parents, allowing them to savor the joy of welcoming a new life.
"Xiao Yu, we're really going to have a baby!"
Feng Lin, who was usually calm and self - controlled, seemed to have a mental block as he repeated this sentence several times.
He had rushed here full of worry, thinking that something was wrong with Xiao Yu's health. He never expected such a big surprise.
Looking at his excited appearance, there was a hint of guilt hidden deep in Su Xianyu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Yes. I've been feeling sleepy these days. I didn't expect it was because of this."
"I should have taken you for a check - up then." Feng Lin still had a lingering fear. "Thank goodness you fainted outside this time and there was someone around. Otherwise, it would have been so dangerous."
"Come on. It wasn't as serious as what Xiao Lin said. I just felt a bit dizzy..." Seeing Feng Lin's disapproving expression, Su Xianyu's voice grew softer and softer.
"These next few months are a special period. I'll arrange more bodyguards to be around you when you go out."
"There's no need for that!" Su Xianyu retorted. "It's just a pregnancy. There's no need to go to such great lengths."
"This concerns your safety. You must listen to me this time."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Su Xianyu could only try to bargain. "I'll feel really stuffy if there are too many people."
Feng Lin thought for a while and finally compromised. "Two. No less."
"Fine."
"After we get back, go to Yuanya Hospital for a more thorough check - up. The medical level of this Second Hospital is just average."
After some thought, Su Xianyu still refused. "This check - up was quite comprehensive. The doctor said too many check - ups in the early stage of pregnancy are not good for the baby."
"And it's only been a little over a month. What can they find out? Let's wait for a while and then do a detailed check - up."
After all, the positive result caused by short - term medication could only deceive the targeted quick test.
But Feng Lin obviously didn't doubt her words. "Well, that's okay."
At this moment, he was thinking that there was one thing that should be put on the agenda.
【Wow! Xiao Yu is going to have a baby? This is so sudden, but I'll support it anyway! Reward x20】
【Our Sisi clearly had a higher strategy completion rate. I don't know where she's gone. Hurry back, Sisi! Someone's about to steal him away!】
【They already have a child. What's the use of Ruan Sisi coming back? I'm speechless. I don't know how this strategy completion rate is calculated.】
【So what? They're not even married. This is just a bastard child!】
【Don't dream. Even if it's not Xiao Yu, it won't be Ruan Sisi's turn...】
Since Su Xianyu's pregnancy was discovered, she and Feng Lin had moved back to the Feng Mansion to live.
After all, with Aunt Liu and the others taking care of her, he could be more at ease, and Su Xianyu didn't object.
Feng Lin listened carefully to the doctor's instructions in the hospital. He also bought many relevant books himself and carefully copied down all the precautions for pregnant women.
He studied the dietary taboos carefully and specifically instructed Aunt Liu on which dishes to avoid, which made the old lady marvel.
"Miss Su is really a lucky star. The young master has never been so particular about his own diet. He's becoming more and more personable now."
Uncle Li, the gardener, also joined in the conversation. "Haha, Miss Su is a really nice person. I had a good feeling about her and the young master from the start. Now the two of them are finally going to get their happy ending."
Watching Feng Lin busy in the kitchen alone, Aunt Liu joked, "Look, he can also make desserts to please the little girl. He doesn't always have that cold expression on his face. This is what a young man should be like!"
After spending the whole afternoon, Feng Lin tasted the cookies he had baked. Finally, they were edible. He then carried them upstairs.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Xiao Yu, it's me."
"A Lin, just come in. The door isn't locked."
Feng Lin pushed open the door and carried a plate of cookies into Su Xianyu's room.
Looking at the irregularly - shaped desserts on the plate, she guessed, "These are... made by you?"
"Yes." Feng Lin's ears turned slightly red. "It's my first time baking. They don't look very good. Do you want to try one?"
"Sure." Su Xianyu reached out and picked up the one in the middle and put it into her mouth.
Just as she was listening to Feng Lin continue talking, she suddenly choked. "Cough, cough..."
"Xiao Yu!"
