About to Become a Dad

After Wu Zhen swallowed the pill, Wu Yuqing and Zhou Wangdao watched him with extreme tension, terrified that something might go wrong.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"President Wu, if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me immediately."

Lin Fei felt a bit uneasy himself.

Wu Zhen's words, "Little brother, I trust you," made Lin Fei hold him in higher regard.

For the sake of this trust alone, he would find a way to cure Wu Zhen no matter what.

"President Wu, the effects of this Small Foundation Pill might take a while to manifest. I will stay here until you show signs of improvement."

By staying here, Lin Fei was essentially putting his own reputation on the line, which served as an assurance to Wu Yuqing.

Wu Zhen, on the other hand, was the most composed of them all, still chatting and laughing.

"Haha, don't all look so serious, as if I'm about to kick the bucket."

"Pah, pah, pah! Dad, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm just joking."

"Jokes aren't allowed either!"

The father and daughter's playful banter helped lighten the atmosphere significantly.

Wu Zhen turned his head to look at Lin Fei and began making small talk.

"Little brother, how old are you, and who else is in your family?"

"Dad, stop calling him 'little brother' all the time. If you're going to be brothers with him, wouldn't that make me have to call him uncle? His name is Lin Fei."

Wu Yuqing rolled her eyes at her father. As a wealthy socialite, she was only befriending Lin Fei out of respect for the "old miracle doctor."

Under normal circumstances, Wu Yuqing wouldn't even spare Lin Fei a glance; the difference in their social status was like clouds and mud.

"President Wu, you can just call me Lin Fei. I'm twenty-five this year, and my parents are still back in the countryside."

"You're about the same age as our Yuqing; she's a year younger than you. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

Before Lin Fei could answer, Wu Yuqing interjected, "He just broke up. Dad, can you talk about something else? Don't go around rubbing salt in people's wounds!"

Lin Fei gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself, You brat, if you hadn't mentioned I just broke up, who would have known?

Just then, Wu Zhen suddenly shuddered, his expression changing drastically.

"Urgh..."

He clutched his chest with one hand while bracing himself against the bed with the other, his face twisted in pain.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"President Wu, you..."

Zhou Wangdao stepped forward, but before he could examine Wu Zhen, the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Wu Zhen vomit blood, both Wu Yuqing and Lin Fei panicked.

Zhou Wangdao was also startled, fearing that the condition had worsened.

"Quick, prepare to move him to the emergency room!"

Wu Yuqing's pretty face was full of anxiety as she glared at Lin Fei.

"Lin Fei, what exactly did you give my father?"

"If anything happens to him, I won't let you off!"

Lin Fei didn't know what to say; this situation was completely unexpected for him as well.

Could there really be something wrong with the Small Foundation Pill?

Given Wu Zhen's status, if he died, Lin Fei would be in serious trouble.

Just then, after vomiting, Wu Zhen's complexion eased significantly.

"I... I feel much better..."

"What I just spat out must have been the stagnant blood from my old injuries. I feel much more comfortable now."

Hearing this, Zhou Wangdao quickly checked Wu Zhen's pulse.

His expression gradually relaxed, eventually replaced by a look of astonishment.

"President Wu's pulse is indeed much better than before. His condition has truly improved."

Wu Yuqing was overjoyed, her previous worries wiped away instantly.

"That's wonderful!"

Lin Fei also breathed a secret sigh of relief; it seemed he wouldn't have to pay with his life for Wu Zhen's.

Zhou Wangdao added, "President Wu, we will perform a more comprehensive examination on you in a moment."

As Wu Zhen went for his check-up, Lin Fei did not leave, accompanying him throughout the entire process.

After all that tossing and turning, another hour had passed.

However, the examination results showed that Wu Zhen's physical condition had indeed improved.

Zhou Wangdao had treated Wu Zhen for many years, yet he had never been able to cure Wu Zhen's old injuries.

He never expected that a single medicinal pill produced by Lin Fei would cure the illness just like that.

This left Zhou Wangdao deeply moved; he was struck by the profoundness of traditional medicine, while simultaneously lamenting his own lack of skill, and he pestered Lin Fei to let him meet that old miracle doctor so he could apprentice under him.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm afraid I can't help you with that; that old miracle doctor does not see outsiders."

Wu Zhen stepped in to excuse Lin Fei, saying, "Old Zhou, don't make things difficult for Lin Fei. Lin Fei, please convey my gratitude to the miracle doctor; I would like to prepare a generous gift to send him."

Lin Fei hurriedly declined; helping Wu Zhen this time was a deal he had already made with Wu Yuqing.

Moreover, he intended to ask Wu Yuqing for an even bigger favor later, so how could he accept a gift from Wu Zhen?

"President Wu, I will convey your gratitude, but the generous gift is unnecessary. It's getting late, and I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be heading off. You should get some rest."

"Yuqing, see Lin Fei out for me!"

Wu Yuqing walked Lin Fei out of the ward, her mood excellent, a smile lingering on her pretty face the entire time.

"Lin Fei, thank you so much for this time."

"Let's stop with all the thanking back and forth; who knows, I might have to trouble you again in the future."

"If you have any matters, as long as I can help, just speak up."

Lin Fei did not mention the gold coin recycling; after all, the quantity this time was a bit too large, and he was afraid of startling Wu Yuqing.

"Alright, I definitely won't stand on ceremony!"

Wu Yuqing originally wanted to drive Lin Fei home, but Lin Fei refused and hailed a taxi to leave on his own.

Upon returning home, Lin Fei called a locksmith to come over and change the door locks.

He was afraid that Ma Weiwei might have a spare key, so he simply changed them for peace of mind.

Not only that, but Lin Fei also added a security chain to the inside to ensure that no one could break in while he was away.

Lin Fei returned to his bedroom and locked the door from the inside, only then feeling secure enough to summon the space gate and return to Nanli City.

Although he hadn't spent much time on Earth, many days had already passed in Nanli City.

Lin Fei first went to the agency to buy a few guards and maids, settling them into the small residence in South City to look after the house for him.

Afterward, Lin Fei returned to the small residence in East City.

Peach Blossom was not at home, and Lin Fei only found out after asking his personal maid that Peach Blossom had taken Xinghua out for a stroll.

It wasn't until evening that Peach Blossom and the others returned home.

Seeing that Lin Fei had returned, Peach Blossom was very happy.

"Husband, you're back!"

"Where did you go? Didn't I tell you not to run around everywhere?"

Peach Blossom lowered her head, not daring to talk back.

"I'm sorry, Husband, it was just so stifling at home, so I took Xinghua out for a walk."

At this moment, Xinghua called out, "Brother-in-law, I have some good news to tell you!"

"What good news?"

Xinghua ran to Peach Blossom's side, her face full of smiles.

"I'll let Sister tell you herself!"

Peach Blossom's face turned red instantly, appearing a bit shy, but there was an unconcealable joy in her eyes.

"Husband, I'm pregnant!"

"What?"

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, then felt a jolt go through his entire body, his face lighting up with surprise and joy.

"You—are you saying you're pregnant?"

Xinghua laughed and said, "Congratulations, Brother-in-law, you're going to be a father!"

Going to be a father!

Lin Fei felt his blood boiling with excitement, and he burst into happy laughter.

"Hahaha, I'm going to be a father!"
