Chapter 170: Wuwuwu, the big boss has changed, and now every plant and tree is a soldier!

On Sea Island—

Capital time, 9:30 a. m.

The chaos over in the Capital, though Shen Man couldn't see it herself, she imagined it vividly.

How satisfying!

After Jiang Ye freshened up simply, his gaze swept over his wife's belly, and he asked thoughtfully:

"Wife, I have something I want to ask you."

"What is it?"

Shen Man stood still, her lovely smile and lively glances radiating charm; the warm sunlight fell on her long dress, as if even the light favored her.

"Your period this month—hasn't it come yet?"

To be precise, it's late.

Jiang Ye had wanted to ask last night, but he refrained out of pity for his wife, not wanting to disturb her rest.

"Looks like it's been about a week late."

Shen Man nodded honestly, counting on her fingers, and realized—this was the first time she'd been late!

Before, her period was usually regular, hardly ever late.

Lately her life has been regular, her food nourishing, so there's no malnutrition causing delay.

Then, there's one possibility.

"Get ready; I'll take you to the Military Region Hospital for a thorough check-up shortly."

Jiang Ye's tone was calm, but as he pretended to tidy the tabletop, his hand trembled slightly.

For the first time, he felt as if he might have a bloodline of his own.

That would be the crystallization of their love; if it really came, was he ready to be a qualified father?

Shen Man gasped, then after reacting, she nodded shyly.

If it were a pregnancy blood test, fasting would be required, so she had soaked her breakfast.

Thinking just in case, she put a few milk candies in her bag.

If she were truly pregnant, it would have been conceived sometime after marriage; counting the days, it would be over a month.

Both are now in a state of suspicion; only after going to the Military Region Hospital and getting the test results will they know for sure.

However, from this point on, the man began to treat her carefully.

"Put on an extra jacket; it's windy today."

"Wait, I'll first reinforce the bike's rear seat and add a soft cushion."

"The water in the kettle isn't hot enough; I'll change it and add some brown sugar."

The rocking chair Shen Man often lounged in is now draped with a military overcoat, which the man jokingly calls a 'cool bamboo chair'.

"Meow."

"Owner, am I going to have a little owner?"

Tangyuan originally wanted to leap into the owner's arms to carefully feel whether there was a little owner in the owner's belly.

But the big boss snatched her up with quick eyes and hands, lifted her by the scruff, placed her aside, and taught her not to pounce into the owner's embrace.

Wuwuwu, the big boss has changed, and now every plant and tree is a soldier!

"The pulse is faint; I'm not really sure either way—like, not like—so we need to go to the hospital to find out."

Shen Man murmured to Tangyuan, she herself wasn't certain either.

Over a month, and her body still shows no symptoms.

If it were two months, her level would still be able to detect it.

The masters and uncles only come home on weekends; usually they're studying at the rest home, so there's really no need to disturb them.

"Meow meow meow."

"It's fine, owner; I'll wait at home for you to return, and if there really is a little owner, I'll help you take care of them."

Tangyuan said understandingly, only rolling and acting cute beside the rocking chair.

Whether a human infant or the offspring of the owner and the big boss, it will surely be adorable, right?

Meanwhile, some military spouses in the Jiashuyuan began to experience morning sickness—nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and slightly elevated temperature.

And so, the officers who dote on their wives also began sending their wives one after another to the Military Region Hospital for checkups.

You wouldn't know unless you came; once you do, a group of officers stare at each other wide-eyed.

They silently acknowledged each other with a nod, then quietly accompanied their wives to line up, having blood drawn at the window.

While Shen Man was queuing, she already saw many familiar military spouses.

Everyone first froze, then they all laughed.

What else could coming to the hospital be?

They held a collective wedding last month!

If they're pregnant, the timing is about right!

Although resources are tight in this era, hospital sanitation and disinfection habits have been well maintained.

But still, when the blood-drawing needle pierces the skin, it makes Shen Man tremble all over—it really hurts.

Jiang Ye frowned, his eyes stern as he fixed his gaze on the needle entering his wife's elbow.

Only after the medical staff quickly drew blood and removed the needle did he loosen his right hand that had been shielding his wife's eyes.

"All done, it's over."

The medical staff whispered, quickly pressing a hemostatic cotton swab onto the puncture.

She swore she had just felt a chilly draft on her back!

Wuu wuu wuu, today why are there so many officers accompanying military wives to come draw blood for a pregnancy check?

She was gentle when inserting the needle, afraid to hurt the military wife.

Okay, thank you.

Jiang Ye thanked restrainedly and politely, then took over helping to press his wife's arm.

If this kind of thing could transfer the pain, that would be great; he isn't afraid of pain.

Medical staff, as part of their routine, reminded: "Come this afternoon, one person to pick up the test results."

Then, they continued disinfecting, opened a new needle, and continued preparing to draw blood for the next military wife.

Manman, brother-in-law, what's this?

Just as the two turned to leave the hospital, they ran into Pei Yan Ting, who was coming downstairs with hands in pockets.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

The couple shouted in unison, then Shen Man said embarrassedly:

We just came to draw blood, get checked, to see if we're pregnant.

Ah? Cough cough, here, you must have fasted this morning; eat a piece of chocolate to tide you over, go home and let your brother-in-law cook something good for you to replenish blood.

Pei Yan Ting unnaturally touched her nose, then with her other hand took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and stuffed it into her sister's pocket without a word.

Okay, thank you, sister-in-law.

Shen Man nodded obediently; she could be polite with others, but with her own sister-in-law, there's no need for pretenses.

Then you guys go home quickly; I, I also have something to do.

Pei Yan Ting waved her hand, unnaturally ushering them away.

Shen Man didn't think much, but Jiang Ye noticed something, his gaze falling on the sister-in-law's belly, also busy with something?

Busy queuing, drawing blood for testing?

However, Jiang Ye isn't the type to pry; if the sister-in-law doesn't say, he won't ask.

He gave a slight nod as a farewell, then supported his wife as they walked out of the hospital.

Back home, should I make red date red bean congee for my wife, or silver ear red date soup?

First replenish qi and blood; my wife just had a tube of blood drawn, she needs to replenish blood...

Pei Yan Ting watched her sister and brother-in-law leave, then slowly went to the end of the line, waiting for the military wives ahead to finish drawing blood, then she went to the window, tapped the glass, signaling a colleague to draw her blood.

Pfft!

Doctor Pei, I told you so, I asked you to come early for blood test, but you insisted on finishing work first, look, today there are so many people.....

Shh, keep it down, no nonsense, just draw my blood.

Did you fast this morning? Have you eaten anything?

I haven't eaten, I'm fasting; after the draw I'll go eat something.

Got it, got it.

The medical staff nodded with a smile, disinfecting the needle and wound.....

Hiss.

Pei Yan Ting's face tightened; it had been a while since she last pricked herself, and suddenly being pricked, it really hurt.....
