After Jiang Xixi and Lin Chuluo left, Ning Anmiao recalled the content of Lu Yan's words just now and always felt that there was some hidden meaning in them.
"Why did he say it'd be best if they had a son?" Ning Anmiao voiced her thoughts, lost in thought. Remembering Mrs. Lu's attitude before, a sudden sense of unease flashed through her mind.
After all, back then, Mrs. Lu had been nagging every day for her to give Lu Yan a son to carry on the Lu family lineage.
Did Lu Yan also think that sons were more important than daughters?
She turned her head to look at Lu Yan. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, the man saw what she was overthinking at a glance. He ruffled her hair and said in a calm voice, "Don't overthink, be good."
"I'll cherish our child no matter if it's a boy or a girl," he paused for a moment and continued, "The key is not the gender but that it's our child."
Ning Anmiao looked up into his eyes.
He sounded so serious, yet perhaps because of his gentle tone, his words were so moving and romantic.
Because it was their child, he would cherish it.
Not for any so - called strange reasons like "carrying on the lineage", but simply because it was their child.
She was the premise.
His words, which were like sweet nothings, made Ning Anmiao blush. For a moment, she even forgot to ask Lu Yan about that confusing remark he made to Lin Chuluo.
...
Lu Yan had made an appointment in advance, and the two of them began to go through the various pre - marriage physical examinations in an orderly manner.
Since they were going to go through the formalities for getting their marriage certificate tomorrow, Lu Yan had specifically asked Special Assistant Song to make arrangements in advance so that the examination results would come out earlier.
They finished all the examinations in the morning and had lunch at a restaurant near the hospital. The doctor told them that they could come to pick up the results at 5 p.m.
During the waiting process, Ning Anmiao was a bit nervous.
This pre - marriage physical examination was specifically reminded by Bai Jiaying when Ning Anmiao called her mother last night.
"You and Lu Yan are not young anymore. He's a few years older than you. You must pay high attention to your physical conditions. Get all the necessary examinations done clearly and avoid any potential problems," Bai Jiaying said.
As usual, Lu Yan was working in the study, while Ning Anmiao was chatting with her mother in the bedroom with her phone in her hand.
Holding the phone, a faint smile on her face, she said, "I know, Mom. We'll have a good check - up tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Jiaying's voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then she suddenly lowered her voice, "When you have the check - up tomorrow, remember to pay attention to the examination items related to that aspect."
That aspect?
Ning Anmiao was just about to ask what aspect it was, but then her mind suddenly understood. Her ears immediately turned red, and her voice became unnatural, "What are you talking about..."
Ning Anmiao was still quite conservative in this regard. It was the first time she had discussed such a topic with her mother, and she felt a bit nervous and awkward.
Bai Jiaying couldn't see her expression and continued, "Miaomiao, don't take this lightly!"
"If a man is old and smokes and drinks, the quality of his sperm will also decline," she was an experienced person after all, and since it was her own daughter, she was naturally less reserved when speaking.
"The two of you were together for three years before and didn't get pregnant. If your married life was normal, it shouldn't be like this."
"Is it normal for the two of you now? How many times a week?"
Bai Jiaying asked straightforwardly, and Ning Anmiao felt her face was about to burn!
"It's, it's quite normal..."
She couldn't help but bury her face in the quilt, eager to end the topic quickly, "Just once or twice, it's very normal..."
The frequency used to be quite high, but recently Lu Yan had been busy with work and preparing for the engagement, so he was very tired every day and didn't put much thought into this matter.
"Oh, that's considered normal," Bai Jiaying thought it was reasonable, but then she questioned, "Then why haven't you gotten pregnant yet? Do you usually take contraceptive measures?"
Ning Anmiao only felt that her ears were burning hot, and even her cheeks and neck were hot. She could hardly bear to listen anymore, "Mom, Lu Yan and I didn't want a child before..."
"Okay, okay. Your dad and I don't mean to urge you to have a child. It's just that since everything is arranged, this matter should also be put on the agenda."
After chatting for such a long time, Bai Jiaying also noticed her daughter's shyness and couldn't help but laugh, "Just to be on the safe side, have a good check - up tomorrow and remember to ask the doctor more questions."
"Having a baby for the two of you is also a top - priority matter in the future."
...
Remembering the long phone call with her mother last night, Ning Anmiao was a bit absent - minded. She couldn't help but think of those questions, and her ears turned red.
It was so embarrassing.
Lu Yan was sitting with her on the waiting chair, waiting for the doctor to call them to pick up the results. He was looking down at his phone, busy with work. By chance, he looked up and caught a glimpse of the red on her earlobe.
"What are you thinking about?" Just as Ning Anmiao was having wild thoughts in her mind, Lu Yan's deep voice came from above her head, "Why is your face so red, huh?"
Startled by him, Ning Anmiao suddenly looked up, her eyes full of evasion. She shook her head, "I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just wondering when it will be our turn to get the examination results."
Lu Yan surely didn't believe this clumsy lie.
He slightly lifted his chin. His jawline was exquisitely perfect. He leaned forward slightly, getting closer to her shoulder. His breath gently fell on her neck.
She shivered, and her heart beat even faster.
"Little rascal, what naughty things are you thinking about?" Lu Yan's lips curled up as he said calmly, "Miaomiao, your cheeks are only this hot at certain times."
Ning Anmiao: ...
What should she say? That she was just speculating about Lu Yan's physical ability?
She didn't dare to say it. If she did, she would surely have a rough night tonight, and her delicate body couldn't bear it.
Just as she was thinking about how to casually brush it off, the nurse came over and said that the attending doctor was calling them in.
The two walked into the consultation room and sat side by side. One was Ning Anmiao, looking nervous and expectant, and the other was Lu Yan, looking calm.
The two seemed to have completely different personalities, but there was an indescribable harmony between them.
"Congratulations, you two," the doctor said with a smile.
"You two don't have any latent diseases or latent genetic genes. In the future, if you have the intention to have a baby, as long as you take good care, you will surely be able to have a healthy and smart baby."
Hearing this, Ning Anmiao's eyes lit up.
Perhaps the news of Jiang Xixi's pregnancy just now had also aroused a little expectation in her heart. She hurriedly asked, "Doctor, if we want to prepare for pregnancy, what preparations do we need to make?"
Hearing this, the doctor laughed, "Theoretically, you don't need to. But your body is a bit anemic and weak. You need to take good care of your diet and maintain a normal daily routine."
