After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 4

Only when Lin You gently placed her on the bed did Fu Xinran finally come back to her senses. Her expression looked normal, but the tips of her ears had already turned so red they seemed about to drip blood.

The doctor had already bent down and started examining her.

“Where do you feel uncomfortable? Does it hurt here?” The female doctor was also an Omega and looked rather serious.

Fu Xinran shook her head. “I just feel a little nauseous and want to vomit.” After saying it, she felt too embarrassed to face anyone and kept her eyes closed.

Lin You worriedly held Fu Xinran’s hand, lowered her head, and softly comforted her. “Ranran, don’t be afraid. It’s okay. The doctor is here. You won’t feel bad soon.”

The doctor rolled her eyes at Lin You in annoyance. When Lin You had carried her in earlier, the doctor had thought something serious had happened.

She had hurried over to examine Fu Xinran and busied herself for a while, only to find that aside from her emotions being a little unstable, there was nothing wrong.

“Doctor, how is she?” Lin You opened her eyes wide and asked pitifully.

The attending doctor was also a female doctor in her forties or fifties. She slowly put away her stethoscope and sat to the side.

“The problem is not exactly big, but it isn’t small either. Pregnant women experience very large emotional fluctuations. This is not good for the child’s development and can easily cause a miscarriage.” The female doctor kept a stern face and directly frightened them a little.

She had seen far too many young couples who became overly excited once they had a child, swinging between great sorrow and great joy. During the first three months, the child was extremely delicate. If they were not careful, a miscarriage could happen.

Judging by the way these two were acting, she felt that this young couple before her had quite a high potential for that.

“Then… has it affected anything?” Lin You widened her eyes and asked anxiously. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Fu Xinran’s hand. Fu Xinran opened her eyes and saw the nervous Lin You.

She gently squeezed Lin You’s hand back, but Lin You’s attention was entirely on the doctor, so she did not notice.

Once the female doctor opened her mouth, she gave a long explanation. “…This includes resting, ensuring sufficient sleep, maintaining a pleasant mood, and paying attention to nutrition.”

“Because during the early stages of pregnancy, early pregnancy reactions often cause a loss of appetite and similar issues. At this time, nutrition is certainly important, but food should be chosen according to the pregnant woman’s appetite. Do you understand?”

Some families might force a pregnant woman to eat because she had morning sickness and could not keep food down, thinking they were helping her supplement nutrition. But that would have the opposite effect and might instead cause many irreversible problems.

Lin You took out her phone and seriously recorded every single issue the doctor mentioned.

“The most important thing is that during pregnancy, it’s best for the Alpha to use pheromones every day to properly soothe the pregnant woman. This can appropriately reduce the mother’s discomfort.”

Lin You’s face flushed as she wrote it down, nodding slightly. Having read this book, she still knew about settings like bonding heat.

“But it must not be excessive, or it may trigger the pregnant woman’s bonding heat. Especially during the first three months, you must remember: no sexual activity. This is to protect the safety of both the child and the mother. You absolutely must not act recklessly.” The female doctor sternly explained each matter that needed attention to the young female Alpha before her.

Both Lin You and Fu Xinran’s faces turned red. Who would believe that these two people, who had been married for more than a year, were still so pure and innocent?

It was rare to see an Alpha who could take notes seriously, so the female doctor nodded at Lin You with particular satisfaction.

“I hope I can still see you at the next prenatal checkup,” the female doctor said meaningfully. After all, most Alpha or Beta soon-to-be fathers or mothers were supposedly busy people who had endless affairs to handle every day.

It was as if they were the busiest people in the world, so busy that after racing against time to have a child, they disappeared without a trace.

Lin You stood at the doorway with her arm around Fu Xinran’s waist and thanked the doctor. “Thank you. See you next month.”

“The pregnant woman must remember to maintain a pleasant mood,” the female doctor added on purpose when she saw that Fu Xinran did not seem to like talking much.

Fu Xinran nodded with a red face. Right now, all she could notice was the hand around her waist and the warm body behind her.

She felt a little dizzy and lightheaded. The person who used to dislike contact with others the most had suddenly taken the initiative a little, making her feel somewhat overwhelmed by favor.

Even after they returned home, Fu Xinran still had not fully come back to herself.

When Aunt Gui saw Fu Xinran’s dazed expression, she thought there was something seriously wrong and hurried forward to support her.

“Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable? We’re almost home. Aunt Gui made something delicious for you. Do you want to eat a little?” Aunt Gui did not even glance at Lin You behind them as she supported Fu Xinran and walked inside.

Lin You handed the car over to the driver, then followed closely behind Fu Xinran step by step.

Inside Lin You’s mind, the doctor’s words kept echoing slowly. As someone who had been single since birth for more than twenty years, this was her first time encountering someone close to her being pregnant.

Her heart was all over the place, and all sorts of scenarios played through her mind.

All the melodramatic scenes that often appeared on TV—miscarriage, vomiting, valuing sons over daughters, choosing between saving the mother or the child, and so on—flashed through her mind one after another.

Speaking of which, in this book, she remembered that the baby in Fu Xinran’s belly was not saved. That was also one of the sources of her blackening.

Hiss. Lin You sucked in a cold breath and hurriedly shouted in her mind, “System, System, isn’t the original body’s white moonlight about to return?”

The system slowly swished its tail and circled out from beside Lin You. Then it immediately ran over to Fu Xinran with a grin, curiously circling around her.

Lin You complained expressionlessly, “Does the system have a little black room function? I think you need it.”

“This is my first time seeing a carbon-based life-form pregnant. I’m curious.” The system raised its head and flew beside Lin You ingratiatingly.

Lin You showed an expression of understanding. “I knew it. You definitely came out to guide hosts before graduating.”

“That’s not important. The white moonlight will graduate with her doctorate in two months. Ah, there are less than three months left before you cause the baby to miscarry. You need to hurry.” After the system finished speaking, it directly hid itself again.

“So it’ll be around the fourth or fifth month.” Lin You narrowed her eyes, the fingers of her right hand habitually rubbing against each other.

Aunt Gui stood beside Lin You, holding a freshly made bowl of steamed egg custard, and also asked curiously, “What fourth or fifth month?”

“Ah, nothing. Aunt Gui, do you need something?”

“Nothing much. Youyou, I wanted to ask you for leave. I want to go to Anyang Temple and light a peace lamp for Madam and the child. Is that all right?”

“Aunt Gui, you can rest whenever you want. But there’s no need to go light one. Anyang Temple is halfway up the mountain and quite far away. I wouldn’t feel at ease letting you go. When I have time later, I’ll personally go pray for one.” Lin You answered by following the description of Anyang Temple provided by the system, narrowly avoiding any mistakes.

Aunt Gui thought about it and felt that made sense. Cheerfully, she handed the steamed egg custard to Lin You, then went back to studying her pregnancy meals.

Aunt Gui had raised Lin You since childhood. Now, the major and minor affairs of the household were also managed by Aunt Gui while assisting Fu Xinran. She could be considered Lin You’s housekeeper.

After resting for a while, Fu Xinran finally came back to herself.

Was today’s Lin You really Lin You?

Fu Xinran placed her hand on her belly, feeling a trace of confusion.

Privately, Aunt Gui had told her that once an Alpha had a child, their sense of responsibility would immediately become different, and they would mature.

Of course, Fu Xinran knew that Aunt Gui was comforting her. After all, she was not some naive and adorable silly sweet girl.

But there was still a trace of expectation in her heart.

“President Lin, the proposal from the Planning Department has been submitted. Do you need me to bring it over to you?” As soon as Lin You answered the phone, the voice of the original body’s assistant came from the other end.

The original body had five assistants: one personal assistant in charge of daily life, and four assistants in charge of work. The one calling now was a work assistant.

Lin You paused for a moment and searched through her memories.

The original body seemed to have acquired a shopping mall recently and was currently planning to reorganize the surrounding resources, linking it with the other malls her family operated to carry out a perfect round of advertising and marketing.

Originally, she would not need to personally handle such a small matter. However, the person in charge of this proposal this time was the original body’s younger male cousin.

In order to prevent that younger cousin, who only knew how to sleep around, from ruining the livelihoods of the subsidiary company’s employees, she could only spare a bit of energy to keep an eye on it.

“All right. Thank you for your hard work.” Lin You imitated the original body’s tone and manner of speaking.

“It’s what I should do.”

Lin You rubbed her temple while sitting in the chair in the study.

She sorted through the day’s thoughts. Early in the morning, she had learned that she was dead and might even have already been cremated.

Then she learned that her predecessor was a scumbag, that she had a wife who could blacken at any time and take her little life, and that there was even a baby in that wife’s belly right now.

She was a little overwhelmed and needed some quiet.

“System, when will you finish updating? A lot of descriptions in the original novel were only brushed over briefly.”

“And I’ve never done business before. You can ask me to act, and that’s fine, but when it comes to business, I’m like someone with ten apertures—nine are open, but the remaining one knows absolutely nothing.” Lin You spread her hands and leaned back against the comfortable chair.

“Don’t worry, host. The Great Completion System will serve you wholeheartedly,” the system immediately promised.

“How?”

“The system can extract the business decisions the original body once made in the book. You only need to approve things according to the original body’s business decisions. The system will also automatically correct any wrong decisions for you, ensuring that the host has no worries.”

Looking at the system that was becoming more and more active, Lin You could only accept it for now.

Give her some time to sort things out. Even now, she still felt like she was dreaming. Everything that had happened today felt too unreal.

She had only been a retired soldier before. She had retired more than half a year ago and had been resting at home to recover from her injuries.

Originally, her team captain had even planned to visit her tomorrow!

She might never be able to see her captain and the others again in her next life. Lin You closed her eyes melancholy.

Lin You had enlisted at eighteen and retired at twenty-four. After resting for a year, she would have been able to return to university.

Wait. Speaking of university, the original body was a top student. She had graduated from Lanis University with a master’s degree and even held two degrees.

Meanwhile, Lin You herself was just an ordinary, unremarkable high school graduate who had not even attended university yet.

Thinking of this, Lin You’s vision went dark.

“Aunt Gui, hello. I’m here to deliver a document to President Lin.” The respectful and polite Beta assistant stood to the side, waiting for Aunt Gui to lead the way.

Without a special card, no one could reach the third floor or above of the villa.

“Aiyo, Xiao Sun, it’s been a long time since I last saw you. How has your health been?” Aunt Gui spoke while leading her upstairs.

Assistant Xiao Sun smiled plainly. “My health is all right. Thank you for thinking of me, Aunt Gui. Is Madam not home today?”

“She is. Madam is resting.” Aunt Gui pressed the elevator button and brought her to the study.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lin You opened her eyes.

“Come in.”

Fu Xinran took a deep breath. She decided to test Lin You. If Lin You was still the same as before, then she would withdraw all her thoughts and peacefully give birth to the child while waiting for the divorce.

She pulled open one corner of the blanket, placed a pillow with a completely different color from the one on the other side, and lay down on one side of the bed, breathing evenly.
