After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1215 - 1214: The Excited Soon-to-be Uncle

"Chuyi, are you okay?" Mrs. Ou inquired of Xia Chuyi, "Should we visit the hospital for a check-up?"

"That's right, Chuyi, let's get you checked by a doctor," Ou ZhenTing quickly added.

Concerning Xia Chuyi's firm decision to keep the baby.

Apart from Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian (who were aware of the truth behind the Medicinal Food), they felt somewhat relieved.

The rest of the family, particularly the Ou Family members, remained deeply concerned.

Noticing their worry, Xia Chuyi hurriedly assured them, "Mom, I was only kidding earlier; my head doesn't actually hurt."

Xia Chuyi quickly clarified the situation.

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Even after hearing Xia Chuyi's words, Mrs. Ou still felt uneasy.

"Absolutely, Mom, you can trust me!" Xia Chuyi replied with genuine sincerity.

After observing her closely and verifying that Xia Chuyi was truly fine, Mrs. Ou finally relaxed, saying, "Good, as long as you're alright, that's what matters."

Hearing this stirred a wave of guilt deep within Xia Chuyi's heart.

Her "stubbornness" had caused Mrs. Ou and the others such distress.

Yet for Xia Chuyi, when Doctor Guo mentioned there was a one-in-a-thousand chance the baby would be healthy.

It implied the child might not face any issues at all.

Therefore, with her special talent for medicinal recipes, Xia Chuyi simply couldn't bear to abandon the child.

Still, she had to handle this delicately, gradually revealing the true facts to everyone.

Plus, once the baby grows a little more, the hospital could properly assess its condition.

At that point, her family would naturally feel reassured.

For now, though, she couldn't disclose the truth or even drop hints.

This was the best she could manage currently.

The moment he learned Xia Chuyi was fine, Ou Cong rushed over and asked, "Chuyi, you're really okay, right?"

"If you're good, I'll show you the gifts I brought!" Ou Cong exclaimed with excitement, "Not just for you, but tons of stuff for my niece too!"

At those words, Jiang Shuqin muttered under her breath, "You fool, what if it's a nephew instead of a niece? You'll look so silly!"

Ou Cong's hearing was incredibly sharp; he caught Jiang Shuqin's soft whisper clearly.

"It's bound to be a niece!" Ou Cong declared, thumping his chest confidently, "Since learning about Chuyi's pregnancy, I've dreamed about it multiple times—always seeing her give birth to a niece!"

"That's why I'm certain Chuyi's baby will be a girl!" Ou Cong insisted seriously.

Everyone else: ...

Weren't those dreams just wishful thinking from your daytime hopes?

Unable to care for his own sister, he longed to dote on his niece instead.

"Chuyi, how about we take a stroll?" At that moment, the composed Huo Shiqian proposed.

"Yes, let's go walking!" Mrs. Ou endorsed the idea, "Walking more will make childbirth smoother later on!"

Xia Chuyi: ...

She wasn't even past the three-month mark yet—was her mom planning way ahead?

"Mm." Huo Shiqian nodded agreeably, "Let's head out."

Hearing this, Ou Cong beamed and said, "Great! I'll join Chuyi for the walk!"

"Second son, you've traveled far; rest up at home first," Mrs. Ou suddenly interjected, "We'll go with Chuyi!"

"Huh?" Ou Cong froze, asking in disbelief, "You're leaving without me?"
