Once inside the examination room, Jiang Yuanliang's eyes were only on Shen Jingjing, and he headed straight for her.

The nurse closed the door, blinked curiously, and wasn't sure if she had mistaken him for someone else.

This man must be Jiang Yuanliang, right? I remember he wasn't married.

Not only was the nurse curious, but the female doctor in charge of the examination was also curious. She looked directly at Jiang Yuanliang and asked, "Are you Mr. Jiang Yuanliang?"

Jiang Yuanliang nodded: "It's me, and this is my wife."

The female doctor understood and smiled, saying, "Congratulations."

"You're...you're pregnant, aren't you?"

"Yes, according to your spouse, today is the fifth day of her period being late, which, according to medical terms, means she is already more than four weeks pregnant, which is the early stages of pregnancy."

Upon receiving the doctor's affirmative answer, Jiang Yuanliang was overjoyed, but when he tried to smile, he found his face was stiff.

"Doctor, could you take some X-rays for me to see?" Jiang Yuanliang asked eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing smiled and reminded, "It's too early now, you can't see it yet."

The doctor smiled and explained to Jiang Yuanliang, "It's not that you can't see it at all, but at this stage, the embryo is indeed extremely small, like a grain of millet. Its shape isn't that of a 'little person,' but more like a small seahorse or a tadpole."

"It will be clearer once the embryo has fully developed."

Jiang Yuanliang nodded in understanding, his heart and eyes filled with joy, and his gaze towards Shen Jingjing was full of deep affection.

Shen Jingjing was also very happy. She cherished this child because she loved Jiang Yuanliang.

The doctor then followed the procedure and instructed, "Be extra careful in the early stages of pregnancy. Don't overexert yourself, and avoid strenuous exercise, including sexual intercourse."

"Taking a walk every morning or doing some simple yoga poses that help calm the mind is also good."

Jiang Yuanliang couldn't help but ask again with concern, "Doctor, are there any risks associated with my wife giving birth at her age?"

Gao Zhan has explained this problem more than once, but Jiang Yuanliang still gets nervous and worried every time.

The female doctor in front of him said the same thing as Gao Zhan: "Mr. Jiang, you don't need to worry too much. Women over forty are not a rare group now. Our hospital department has them almost every day."

"Modern medical technology is very advanced, and older mothers can also give birth smoothly."

"Of course, childbirth will inevitably cause some damage and burden to a woman's body, and this cannot be changed. The symptoms of older mothers will be more obvious and severe, but as long as they take good care of themselves, follow medical advice, and rest slowly, there will be no major problems."

"It is an objective fact that there are risks in production, but current medical technology can minimize those risks."

"Furthermore, I see that your wife's hormone test results are all normal, which is very rare for a woman over forty years old. This shows that your wife is in a very good mood and healthy in general."

"Some older mothers go through menopause, and that's when they suffer the most."

Shen Jingjing knew her husband was worried about her, so she squeezed his hand to comfort him, "Don't be so nervous. Gao Zhan said there's nothing seriously wrong."

Jiang Yuanliang nodded gently: "I was afraid you were working too hard."

Only after the two left the examination room did the nurse finally speak up: "Dr. Zhang, is it really Jiang Yuanliang? When did he get married? How come there was no news at all? I check my phone every day and haven't seen anything about it."

The doctor laughed upon hearing this, "What? Do people need to inform you of their wedding?"

"That's not what I meant, but if Jiang Yuanliang were to get married, the news would be everywhere. His wife is pregnant now, and from what I've seen, she's several years older than him."

It was as if someone you only ever saw in the news suddenly appeared in front of you, and the personality you had built up in your imagination was shattered by reality. The nurse exclaimed in surprise, "And he is such a gentle person. The way he looked at his wife just now touched me. He is obviously a good man."

"Alright, stop reminiscing, hurry up and call the next number."

On his way there, the old man received a message from Jiang Yuanliang saying that they had returned to "Wan Jia Deng Huo" (a restaurant), so he immediately asked the driver to change the destination and go directly to Shen Jingjing's house.

"Oh my, Jingjing, your belly is so well-behaved!"

As soon as he entered the door, the old man exclaimed happily, "This is such a wonderful surprise! My old bones have suddenly become strong again. I could live another thirty or fifty years without any problem."

These words immediately made Shen Jingjing laugh.

"Did you go to the hospital for a checkup? Can they tell if it's a boy or a girl?" the old man asked.

"Dad, why are you more anxious than I am?" Jiang Yuanliang said, both amused and exasperated. "The doctor said that nothing can be seen in the early stages of pregnancy, not even the embryo."

The old man blinked: "Oh, you couldn't tell at first, could you? It's okay, boy or girl is fine."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jingjing with a sincere expression and said, "However, I still want a granddaughter. Jingjing, if you give birth to a girl, Dad will give all the company shares he has to my granddaughter."

"Dad, how can I be sure about this?" Shen Jingjing smiled helplessly: "Besides, the gender of the child is decided by the father's side. You see, you have three sons, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law also had sons. So, don't have too much hope for a granddaughter."

"Oh dear, now that you mention it, it's true! Our Jiang family only has sons!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanliang said, "It's okay, don't feel pressured. I like both boys and girls."

"Tsk tsk tsk." When the old man heard his son say that, he couldn't help but look at Shen Jingjing and grin, "See? Back then, when I urged him to get married and have children as soon as possible, he righteously told me that he didn't want children and didn't like children."

"Look at him now. He's the happiest person to know you're pregnant. He's been grinning all day."

“Look at you, you know I was just saying that to fob you off, but you still have to bring it up.” Jiang Yuanliang looked at the old man: “You’re really acting like a child now.”

The old man knew, of course, that was just an excuse his son used to fob him off. He was still angry when he thought about it. He glared at his son, then turned to Shen Jingjing with a smile: "Jingjing, you need to take good care of yourself. Just give the company a brief explanation and don't worry about it. Focus on your health and give birth to the baby first."

"Dad isn't picky, grandsons and granddaughters are both fine." As he spoke, the old man remembered that he had brought a red envelope, and quickly asked Uncle Feng to take it out: "This is from Dad, keep it safe. When you have a child, Dad will give all the shares to the child, all of them."
