Chapter 157 Pure Surrogacy & Refined Scoundrel Adopted Son 36

Chu Yuan's voice trembled slightly, "Ning... Ning Mochen, what's wrong?"

"I already said, I don't trust them, I want to do it myself. You lie there quietly, I'll be done in a bit."

After saying that, he began to carefully clean his hands with hand sanitizer. When he was done, he sat down in the seat where the female doctor had been sitting, skillfully found disposable gloves and put them on, then wiped the ultrasound probe again and again. Afterwards, he looked at Chu Yuan with gentle eyes and said, "This won't hurt, just relax."

Chu Yuan... what should I do if I suddenly feel like swearing?

He was holding that thing and was going to do that kind of thing to her. How could she possibly relax?

I ask you, who could relax in that situation?!

Ning Mochen smiled and said, "My dear Yuan'er, I also want to see the baby's development with my own eyes. Don't worry, I've studied this."

Chu Yuan found it difficult to explain to him that this was not a matter of whether or not he had studied it!

...

In the end, however, he coaxed her into letting go of his hand.

Ning Mochen applied coupling gel to the probe, and then...

A cool sensation, and it slid in easily, then began to slowly move around inside.

It was a perfectly normal thing, but Chu Yuan felt extremely embarrassed for no reason, and her neck and ears turned completely red.

A strange feeling was creeping through my body...

Ning Mochen, however, was excited in a different way, reporting to Chu Yuan bit by bit, "I see it, I see it, Yuan'er, I see the gestational sac."

"The yolk sac within the sac showed normal echogenicity."

"The embryo is developing normally."

"Wait a little longer, let me listen to the baby's heartbeat..."

Until he finished reading it, Chu Yuan had a look of utter despair and strongly suspected that he had spent several times longer reading it than a proper doctor!

While I was waiting at the door just now, I saw a pregnant woman who was done in three minutes.

She's probably been like this for over ten minutes now...

Ning Mochen was very satisfied. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed out a very detailed ultrasound report.

He happily suggested to Chu Yuan, "Yuan'er, let me do all the ultrasounds for our child from now on? Oh, why don't we just buy a set of equipment and bring it home? That way it will be very convenient when we need it!"

Chu Yuan rolled her eyes, not wanting to say anything!

Ning Mochen fawned over Chu Yuan as he helped her put on her pants, saying, "Look at me, don't I look much more professional than that doctor from before?"

When Chu Yuan showed the ultrasound report to Grandma Li, her cheeks were still flushed, as if she were drunk.

Grandma Li was quite optimistic. She smiled and held Chu Yuan's hand, saying, "Child, this is called surviving a great calamity; good fortune is sure to follow."

Grandma would be content to see you get married, have children, and have someone take meticulous care of you in your later years.

Even if I leave now, I will have no regrets.

"Grandma's talking nonsense!" Chu Yuan said angrily, her face stern. "If you keep saying that, I won't bother coming to see you anymore!"

This is a hospital; listen to the doctor, don't guess on your own.

You didn't know, did you? I just asked the attending physician, and he said your condition is improving, and if there are no unforeseen circumstances, you should be able to be discharged around the Spring Festival.

When I'm heavily pregnant, I'd like Grandma to help take care of me, but she's unwilling, saying such discouraging things!

More important than medication is the elderly person's mindset in fighting illness.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Li immediately perked up, "Then I can see our little girl give birth to a baby?"

"Great, great! Grandma feels like she has inexhaustible energy now!"

After exchanging a few more words, Chu Yuan helped Grandma Li to bed.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Zhou Manyun rushing towards her with a group of bodyguards.

Ning Mochen sat in the chair without moving, but Chu Yuan noticed that his hands were tightly clasped together above his knees.

She was behind him and couldn't see his expression, but she guessed he wasn't very happy.

"Mom." Ning Mochen's voice was devoid of warmth.

Zhou Manyun's gaze swept over Ning Mochen before finally settling on Chu Yuan. "You still remember I'm your mother? The ancients always said that once you have a wife, you forget your mother. I always thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems it's absolutely true!"

Her words were full of hostility, resentment, and sarcasm, but Ning Mochen, out of consideration for their past relationship, said nothing.

As a result, Zhou Manyun got angry, "Mo Chen, you have always been an obedient child, intelligent and self-disciplined. How did you get led astray by a vain woman?"

Do you know how heartbroken Grandpa will be by doing this, and what consequences you will face?

Chu Yuan sneered, "Madam Zhou, he is a human being, not a puppet raised by your Ning family. Don't you think the word 'obedient' is particularly ironic here?"

Zhou Manyun disdained to speak to Chu Yuan, and angrily waved her hand behind her, "Take her away! She has no right to speak here!"

"Don't touch her!" Ning Mochen stood up faster than the bodyguard, his voice like ice, and blocked Chu Yuan's way.

Seeing this, Zhou Manyun clutched her chest in anger, "Mo Chen, your treatment of her... you have truly disappointed me!"

Ning Mochen remained unmoved. "You can't take her away. This is my problem. If Grandpa has any complaints, he can take them out on me. Don't take it out on her."

"She's innocent? You say she's innocent?"

Zhou Manyun laughed absurdly, as if she had heard a hilarious joke, "Mo Chen, you've probably forgotten who she is, haven't you?"

Do you think she's from a good family?

Shouldn't you know very well that she's just a vain woman who willingly came to our Ning family as a surrogate mother for money?

She's only twenty years old, and she's already selling her body and soul for money. What makes her worthy of your affection? Your heart belongs to Mu Wan, and she's not even worthy to carry Mu Wan's shoes!
