Jiang Yan caught it with her backhand, laughed and pounced on it, her voice low, "Of course it's... being a hooligan."

"Jiang Yan, go back! Wasn't last night enough..." Si Yi, still feeling a bit scared, hid under the covers and refused to come out, her voice muffled, "Stop bothering me, I'm really tired..."

"Don't move, I won't bother you." Jiang Yan patiently pulled the blanket off her and kissed her earlobe with a smile. "I'm just lying here with you for a while, so just lie there peacefully."

"Then I'll say it first, you can't lay a hand on me."

"Okay." He agreed crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

But five seconds later...

"Hey, what are you doing with your hands? Jiang Yan... Ugh, so annoying..."

…………

The snow-white, soft bedding was now even more disheveled after being tossed around. Jiang Yan rested her chin on Si Yi's shoulder, which was covered in ambiguous hickeys, her voice husky with a sensual aftertaste, "Wife..."

"Hmm?" Siyi was languid, letting him hold her like this without moving, when suddenly she remembered something. "By the way, didn't you tell me last night that you were going on a business trip to City B tomorrow?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Yan gently bit her shoulder. "Wife, why don't you come with me?"

Siyi turned around and looked at him expectantly, "How many days are you going?"

"Looking at their process... the previous project was halted, so I need to go there in person."

Siyi shook her head. "I'm not going. What will happen to Beibei and Tiantian if we all leave? Forget it, you go by yourself. Besides, City A and City B aren't that far apart. When you go, can you bring over some of my lawyer's documents from my apartment in City B?"

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled somewhat frivolously, "That's fine too, absence makes the heart grow fonder."

"Pah, who said we're newlyweds?" Siyi blushed slightly, leaned over and retaliated by gently biting his lips.

"Honey, stop teasing me," Jiang Yan replied seriously, trying to avoid the question. "I'm afraid your body can't handle it."

He got up before her to heat up the porridge, then turned around and said, "Get up quickly, stop lying in bed. You don't look well. I'll take you to the hospital in a bit."

"I told you everything's fine..." Siyi replied slowly, noticing that it was indeed getting late.

Jiang Yan sighed, reached out and pinched her cheek, her eyes full of doting affection, "I think you never used to sleep in, right?"

"Before, I had to go to work, and then I had to take the kids to school," Siyi smiled at him. "Now I have you. You don't allow me to stay in bed?"

Jiang Yan's heart softened, and a sense of accomplishment welled up within him... This feeling was even more exciting than when he had negotiated a contract worth hundreds of millions. How could he refuse? He couldn't be happier. "You can sleep a little longer. I'll go get you something to eat."

Humming a little tune, he went to prepare soy milk for her. He even prepared it himself. He had given the housekeepers a few days off because he knew how to cook. He used to be too lazy to cook when he was alone, but now it's different. People with wives and children seem to become exceptionally domestic all of a sudden.

Of course, only his woman and his child could see this kind of warmth from Jiang Yan Hui. He could be ruthless and decisive in the business world, but he could also be cold and distant to anyone else, simply because all his tenderness and warmth were reserved for a woman named Ye Siyi.

After Jiang Yan finished grinding the soy milk and heating up the porridge, he went back to the bedroom to find Si Yi. The bedding on the large bed was still messy, but Si Yi was nowhere to be seen. He glanced at the bathroom and saw that the sliding door was closed. He went up to the doorknob and called out, "Wife, everything is ready. Come out and have breakfast."

The person inside seemed to have accidentally dropped something. With a loud thud, Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to step forward, she heard another dull thud.

Jiang Yan felt her heart leap into her throat. She rushed into the bathroom and found Siyi lying on the floor with a toothbrush in her hand, and most of the toothpaste was on her clothes.

"Sisi!" Jiang Yan's voice had changed. Ignoring his wet hands, he picked up the woman lying on the ground and carried her out of the bathroom. He first placed Siyi on the bed, and then impatiently called Liu Qi, asking him to call the doctor to the house immediately.

Fortunately, the call ended, and Siyi on the bed had already woken up. Apart from being a little pale, she was still quite lucid and grabbed Jiang Yanhui, asking, "What just happened to me?"

"You're awake?" Jiang Yan knelt down by the bedside, smoothing her slightly disheveled hair. Her tone was exasperated. "I told you your complexion wasn't right, but you wouldn't tell me what was wrong. You fainted just now, did you even know that?"

faint?

Siyi reached up and touched her forehead. There was nothing wrong with her, except that she felt a little tired and dizzy. But since she had just fainted, she didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She just mumbled softly, "I'm actually fine. I'm just a little dizzy. Maybe I had low blood sugar when I woke up this morning."

Jiang Yan pursed her lips, not without regret. Her self-control, which she had always been so proud of, always crumbled in front of this woman. She didn't know whether she should be angry with herself or say a few more words to this ungrateful little woman. Finally, seeing that her clothes were covered in water stains and toothpaste, she helped her get a set of clothes and urged her to change. "The doctor will be here in a while. It's better if you don't go out like this. The doctor will come and examine you right away."

Siyi wanted to retort, accusing him of making a mountain out of a molehill, but seeing his nervous expression, she felt a little sweetness in her heart, and swallowed her words.

Unexpectedly, when the doctor arrived, they still had to go to the hospital.

The doctor said somewhat reluctantly, "A blood test is still needed in this case."

Siyi thought it was too much trouble, including a blood test, but Jiang Yan took it seriously. She helped Siyi change her clothes, put her in the car, and drove her straight to the hospital.

Jiang Yan had originally planned to take her for a full body checkup, but the problem was discovered after just the first minor checkup.

"Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, congratulations!" The doctor, holding the report, smiled broadly. "There's nothing seriously wrong. The fainting was because Mrs. Jiang is pregnant."

Siyi was completely dazed, thinking she was dreaming, while Jiang Yanhui on the other end had already recovered. He asked the doctor with a tense face, "What did you say? My wife is pregnant?"

"Yes," the doctor explained in detail, "fainting and vomiting are common in early pregnancy. These are normal reactions, so don't be too nervous. Mrs. Jiang is already over a month pregnant." He paused, then asked Siyi with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang, didn't you know at all?"

It's been a month?

Siyi then belatedly realized that she must have conceived this child during her last trip to the United States. So much had happened during that time that she hadn't had time to think about anything else, and she hadn't realized she was already pregnant...

She's pregnant...she's pregnant again...

No wonder she's been so sleepy lately, has been eating a lot, and always feels like she has no energy...

While Siyi was still in a daze, Jiang Yanhui beside her was not relaxed at all. The lines of his handsome face were still taut. However, Siyi could feel that his hand... the hand that had been intertwined with hers was trembling slightly.

“My wife wasn’t feeling well a few days ago, so I gave her some medicine. She also drank alcohol beforehand, and I gave her some hangover remedies afterwards. I’ll have someone write down a list for you later, please take a look and see if there are any problems…” Jiang Yan frowned, thinking for a moment, “And I don’t know if there are any dietary restrictions…”

Even the doctor could tell that this seemingly calm and composed expectant father was actually extremely anxious inside. So he smiled and reassured him, "Mr. Jiang, don't be too nervous. If you're really worried, you can have Mrs. Jiang stay in the hospital for observation for a day... In fact, it's generally okay for pregnant women to take any medication in the early stages of pregnancy, so Mr. Jiang can rest assured."

"I don't want to be hospitalized..." Siyi weakly retorted.

Jiang Yanhui agreed without further ado, "Alright, make the arrangements, we'll be admitted to the hospital!"

Siyi was speechless. She wanted to say something, but Jiang Yanhui didn't give her a chance to speak. It wasn't until the doctor finished all the procedures and only the two of them were left in the VIP suite that Jiang Yanhui took off her coat. Her expression still didn't seem to have improved.

Seeing his cold face, Siyi felt a pang of discomfort. She bit her lip and asked, "Jiang Yanhui, are you unhappy?"

"No." Jiang Yan glanced back at her and said calmly, "I just made a call. I'm not going on the business trip tomorrow. I'll just have Liu Qi go."

"Actually, I'm fine..." Siyi muttered, then, as if remembering something, she looked at his face seriously, "Why aren't you smiling? Don't you like children? No... are you in a bad mood?"

Shouldn't he be overjoyed?

She's pregnant! She's pregnant!

Why is he facing me with that face?

Siyi's mind raced with wild guesses, her expression undisguised. "You don't need to look at me like that. Tell me honestly, do you not like this child?"

Jiang Yan then realized that he had been tense the whole time. He hadn't even hung his coat on the hanger in time. He didn't know how to express his emotions, so even the forced smile he managed was stiff. "No, baby, I'm really not unhappy. I'm just... so happy. I'm a little overwhelmed."
