- Chapter 69 - Having a Baby?
Huo Jianan hadn’t expected that upon returning home after her training, Housekeeper He would urgently inform her, “Young Madam Min is ill—she was hospitalized with a high fever.”
“When did this happen?”
“About ten minutes ago, around the same time you arrived home.”
“Why did Sister-in-law suddenly fall ill?”
“I’m not sure. She seemed a bit fatigued the past few days, and then this afternoon, her fever spiked suddenly.”
“What about Sister Meng?”
“Miss Meng, worried about her, went to the hospital with her. I also sent Xiao Tao and Wang Ma to accompany her.”
Just as they were speaking, Grandmother Huo returned home. Hearing about Min Jiru’s high fever, she insisted on going to the hospital to check on her.
“Grandmother, please rest and have your meal first. I’ll go to the hospital. I’ll call you with any updates.”
Housekeeper He also advised, “They just arrived at the hospital, and the test results probably won’t be out yet. Madam, please have your meal in peace. It’s likely just a cold or exhaustion from taking care of Miss Meng these past few days.”
“It’s nothing, really. Grandmother, just stay home and wait for news.”
“What about you?” Grandmother Huo asked, concerned for her granddaughter. She looked exhausted and sweaty, having just returned home before leaving again.
“Don’t worry, I’ll just have some biscuits to tide me over,” Huo Jianan said with a smile. She picked up the small biscuits on the table and ate two. “Grandmother, I’m going to the hospital to check on things. Have your meal in peace and wait for my message.”
Just an hour after leaving the hospital, Huo Jianan returned. As she approached, she bumped into Wang Baobao and Doctor Jiang walking out.
Their intertwined hands were tightly clasped, Doctor Jiang leaning against Wang Baobao’s shoulder with a picture-perfect, delicate demeanor. Wang Baobao was saying something to her, both of them wearing expressions of blissful happiness.
“Dada, why are you back? What’s wrong now?”
Huo Jianan scoffed. “What do you mean ‘wrong’? Can’t I just visit a patient? My sister-in-law has a fever and was brought to the hospital.”
“Sister Meng’s wife is sick? Is it serious?”
“I just got here. It should be nothing serious. Why are you two leaving so late? You’ve missed your date.”
“We had an emergency patient come in suddenly. Jiangjiang worked a little overtime, but she’s just about ready to leave now.” Wang Baobao raised their joined hands. “Well, we’re off, Dada. Give Sister Meng and Sister-in-law Meng my regards.”
Huo Jianan hummed in acknowledgment, her gaze following their retreating figures—two women walking closely together, affectionate and intimate.
After a long moment, she finally tore her gaze away, her heart suddenly flooded with envy. She wished she could walk down the brightly lit streets with Nianning, their arms linked, able to turn and see those lovely, pitch-black eyes at any moment.
Alas, Huo Jianan lowered her head, glancing at her own legs, and let out a soft sigh.
“Sister Meng, how’s Sister-in-law doing?”
Huo Jianan’s sudden appearance in the hospital room made Meng Xien’s head snap up. “Jianan?!”
“I heard Sister-in-law had a fever. I came to check on her. Grandmother is worried, too.”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. Minmin is fine.”
Despite his wife being sick, Meng Xien looked radiant, his smile uncontrollable.
Huo Jianan found this strange. How could he say it’s nothing?
“Sister Meng, look at you! This must be good news!”
Xiao Tao, standing beside them, smiled coyly. “Young Miss, you guessed it! There really is good news.”
Huo Jianan’s curiosity piqued. “Sister Meng, just tell me already! What’s going on? If you don’t tell me, I’ll bring Grandmother over to ask.”
Meng Xien sighed. “You’re even threatening to involve Aunt Xu now? Fine, I’ll tell you. Minmin has differentiated—she’s an Omega!”
Xiao Tao’s face lit up with excitement. “Young Miss, you never would have guessed! Young Madam Min is actually an Omega! The doctor said late differentiation is rare, but there have been cases where it happens even at age 30.”
Meng Xien added, “Minmin’s high fever was also caused by the differentiation. Rest should help.”
Huo Jianan was startled. This was the first time since transmigrating that she’d encountered an Alpha or Omega undergoing differentiation. She’d heard that during differentiation, both Alphas and Omegas experience discomfort, high fevers, and their glands release large amounts of pheromones.
She quickly thought of something. “Should I step out of the room?”
“No need. The peak has passed, and the hospital just finished purifying the residual pheromones in the air. It’s safe now.”
Despite this, Huo Jianan instinctively moved further away from the hospital bed, positioning herself closer to the door.
“How is Sister-in-law doing?”
“She’s fine. After the high fever, she’s finally fallen asleep.”
Xiao Tao interjected, “Miss Meng, there’s even more good news you haven’t shared yet.”
“More good news? What is it?” Huo Jianan laughed, blurting out, “Could it be… Sister-in-law is pregnant?”
“Miss, has your mouth been blessed or something? You guessed it right on the first try!” Xiao Tao exclaimed.
Meng Xien’s face lit up with joy as she nodded. “Yes! Minmin is pregnant!”
This time, Huo Jianan’s mouth gaped open in shock, forming a perfect “O”!
“The blood test confirmed it. Judging by the timeline, she must have conceived around the time she moved back home.” Meng Xien recalled how, during their intimate moments back then, Minmin always enjoyed being bitten on the nape of her neck. Now, she realized that might have been when Min Jiru began her differentiation.
Huo Jianan quickly pulled out her phone and called her grandmother, eager to share the joyful news. After relaying the message, she tactfully excused herself and slipped back home.
Grandmother Huo was overjoyed. “Really pregnant? When did this happen? What did the doctor say? Is Xiao Ru doing well? Is the baby healthy?”
“Grandmother, please stop asking. Yes, Sister-in-law is really pregnant and has differentiated into an Omega. That’s all I know for now. Tomorrow, once Sister-in-law wakes up and the doctor examines her, we’ll have a clearer understanding.”
Huo Jianan rolled up her sleeves and dug in, famished after the hospital trip.
Housekeeper He had the kitchen re-cook two dishes and reheat the soup.
Huo Jianan ate heartily. Seeing her granddaughter devouring the food, Grandmother Huo sat down beside her. “Jianan, eat more.”
“Mm, Grandmother, I’m eating.”
Grandmother Huo’s smile widened. “Jianan, look at Sister Meng—she’s pregnant so soon after marriage. You and Nianning need to step up your efforts. Xiao Ru just differentiated into an Omega, but Nianning has been one for a while. Didn’t you say she was returning from the filming crew during the New Year? This is the perfect opportunity to spend more time together. Who knows, you might even conceive by the Spring Festival!”
Huo Jianan: “……” Help! Grandma’s matchmaking again!
Trying to escape, Huo Jianan said, “Grandmother, I’m full. I’m going upstairs.”
“No way! You’ve barely eaten a bite! Listen, you need to boost your nutrition during this time—for the sake of our great-granddaughter, you must eat!”
Huo Jianan: “……”
“Housekeeper He, prepare the ingredients for the medicinal soup. Once the Young Madam returns, make it for Jianan right away.”
Huo Jianan rested her forehead in her hand.
Medicinal soup—the unbearable burden for an Alpha heiress.
That evening, Huo Jianan video-called Ruan Nianning to tell her about the situation.
Ruan Nianning was surprised but also genuinely happy for Meng Xien and Min Jiru.
Huo Jianan didn’t dare mention her grandmother’s meddling and instead sweet-talked, “Wife, when do you think we’ll have a baby?”
Ruan Nianning rolled her eyes. “I’m still filming. How am I supposed to have a baby? Are you suggesting I act with a huge belly? Did Grandma start pressuring you again?”
“No, no! Grandma would never pressure us. She’s always said we’re young, and when we have a baby is entirely our decision.” Huo Jianan put on her most charming smile. “Of course, the most important thing is your decision, Wife. You’re the one who will be carrying the baby, after all.”
Ruan Nianning was flattered. “Don’t you know childbirth is excruciating? It’s not like you’ll be the one giving birth, so of course you think it’s easy.”
“No, how could I think it’s easy? Having a baby is a monumental event, and it’s bound to be difficult. Oh, right! Sister-in-law will have her baby before me. We can ask her about the pain later.”
Ruan Nianning gave her a pointed look. “If I gain weight and my figure changes during pregnancy, will you still like me?”
Huo Jianan was taken aback, unsure why her wife would worry about such a thing.
“How could I not love you? You’re my wife, and you’ll always be my treasure. Being pregnant just makes you my big treasure.”
Ruan Nianning’s lips curved into a smile. “Then, if we can’t be intimate during my pregnancy, will you go find another Omega outside?”
Huo Jianan was startled again. “Of course not! I’m not one of those cheating Alphas, trying to justify my own infidelity.”
Ruan Nianning hummed in acknowledgment, her smile deepening. Staring at the screen, she saw a face as pure and flawless as fresh snow, eyes clear and innocent yet filled with unwavering devotion when they gazed at her, and a gentle, charming smile hidden beneath. Ruan Nianning thought, I’m truly fortunate to have met someone so genuine, pure, and devoted.
Before marrying Huo Jianan, Ruan Nianning had been pursued by countless suitors: wealthy young masters, heiresses from influential families, investment tycoons, and highly educated geniuses. They showered her with sweet nothings, grand vows, and beautiful promises—she’d heard it all before.
If anyone else had said such things, she would have dismissed it with a smile. But when Huo Jianan spoke, she knew every word would be fulfilled.
“Darling, I’ve prepared a New Year’s gift for you.”
“What is it?”
“I can’t tell you now. You’ll find out when you get back.” Huo Jianan’s mysterious expression promised an unexpected surprise.
“You wouldn’t give me a mansion, would you? I don’t want it. I don’t like having so much house to manage, and I’d have to hire people just to maintain it.”
“No, you’re already part of the Huo family. What else could you possibly need?”
“Then I want to go on a space tour. Will you come with me?”
Huo Jianan replied firmly, “Absolutely not!”
Ruan Nianning pouted. “Why not? Why won’t you go with me?”
“I’m afraid of the dark. Space is cold, silent, and you’re just floating there, neither up nor down. How terrifying! It’s so much better to feel the solid ground beneath our feet. Wife, you shouldn’t go either. It’s too dangerous.”
“But just imagine—stars everywhere you look!”
“We can see stars from Earth too. Besides, once you’re in space, they’re just spinning balls. It’s better to keep our distance from them.”
Ruan Nianning snorted. She’d only mentioned it casually, like a man who claims to love dragons but recoils at the sight of a real one. If she were truly asked to go to that dark, cold, soundless place without Jianan, she’d sooner die than go.
This was how she and Jianan always chatted, letting their conversation flow freely wherever their thoughts took them.
Only in front of Huo Jianan could she be so completely at ease, shedding all her defenses and relaxing fully.
Whether she was being petty, irritable, or throwing a tantrum, she didn’t have to worry about Huo Jianan seeing her. She could forget that she was a celebrity and simply be Jianan’s closest lover, her Omega, cherished and indulged.
“Wife, when are you returning to Changbin?”
Ruan Nianning frowned slightly. “I don’t know if the production team will give us time off yet.”
Huo Jianan seemed optimistic. “They’ll probably give you time off. Why don’t you ask the director ahead of time?”
After hanging up, Ruan Nianning lay in bed, unable to sleep. She recalled Jianan’s confident, assured demeanor at the end of the call. Could she have already called the director and production team?
Ruan Nianning turned over, deciding to ask tomorrow. Then, as if possessed by a mischievous spirit, she began imagining pregnancy. Her face flushed as she pictured herself and Jianan entwined in passionate kisses and intimate embraces, making love until dawn. She imagined herself sprawled on the bed, belly swollen with child, while Huo Jianan lay beside her, coaxing her to sleep with tender care, her expression both cautious and indulgent.
Ruan Nianning smiled, biting her lip, and rolled over again, hugging her blanket and chuckling softly.
After a while, she climbed out of bed, turned on the bedside lamp, picked up her phone, and checked the calendar.
Hmm, filming will wrap up by the end of April after the New Year. I’ll join a new production in mid-May and finish shooting by September. Maybe I shouldn’t participate in that variety show… Wait, if I conceive in September or October, with a ten-month pregnancy, that would put the due date in July or August next year. It’s so hot then—let’s not have the baby during that time.
In the quiet of the night, the occasional sound of passing cars drifted in through the window. The warm hotel room light illuminated Ruan Nianning’s face, softening her features. An unnoticeable smile played on her lips as her slender, pale fingertips occasionally moved, planning her grand maternal ambitions.
