Chapter 501 Doctor Qian is laughing his head off

Dr. Qian was immersed in great joy when he heard Chu Ruohan's voice, which brought him back to his senses.

His face still held that expression of mixed joy and disbelief as he pulled Song Ruyan's hand and quickly walked to Chu Ruohan.

"Madam! Duke! Miss Su! Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Seeing his expression, and then glancing at Song Ruyan beside him, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, eyes were downcast, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, Chu Ruohan had already guessed what was going on, and her smile deepened.

"Oh? What good news has made Dr. Qian so happy?"

"Ruyan...she's pregnant!"

Dr. Qian was so excited that the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he almost spat out saliva as he spoke.

"I just took her pulse, and it's a pregnancy pulse! There's no mistake! There's no mistake!"

He spoke repeatedly, then turned to Gu Junze, cupped his hands, and said, "Lord Duke, I... I am going to have an heir!"

Gu Junze smiled gently and nodded, saying, "Congratulations, Dr. Qian."

Su Wan stood aside, watching the joyous scene before her, and felt happy for them as well.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Qian, and congratulations, Dr. Qian," Su Wan said sincerely, her voice gentle. "This is truly wonderful news."

Hearing everyone's congratulations, Song Ruyan blushed even more. She secretly glared at Doctor Qian, who was still grinning foolishly, and scolded him, "What are you shouting about! So loudly, as if you're afraid others won't know!"

Despite saying that, the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Chu Ruohan stepped forward, gently took Song Ruyan's other hand, looked her over carefully for a few moments, and smiled, "I was wondering who was throwing such a tantrum yesterday for no reason. Turns out you're pregnant and have a short temper."

Her words were somewhat teasing, but not malicious.

Song Ruyan became even more embarrassed by what she was being said, and lightly stamped her foot: "You're making fun of me again!"

She remembered how she had kicked Dr. Qian out of his room last night and made him sleep on the porch, and a wave of guilt washed over her. She secretly glanced at Dr. Qian.

At this moment, Dr. Qian was oblivious to all of this, only grinning from ear to ear, his eyes never leaving Song Ruyan's stomach, as if some rare treasure was hidden there.

He carefully took Song Ruyan's arm and said nervously, "Ruyan, are you tired from standing for so long? Do you want to go inside and rest for a while?"

His cautious demeanor was completely different from the composed Dr. Qian he usually was.

"I'm not that delicate!" Song Ruyan scolded him, but her tone softened noticeably, carrying a hint of sweetness that was barely perceptible.

She could sense that Dr. Qian was genuinely happy; that heartfelt joy transformed her previous petty temper and grievances into a warm current.

"These are the first three months, the most crucial time," Doctor Qian insisted, "Don't be careless. Stop practicing martial arts from now on, just focus on nourishing your pregnancy. After the baby is born, anything will be fine!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze, and bowed solemnly: "Madam, Duke, from now on, Ruyan's health will be compromised. If there is anything in the manor that requires her assistance, please..."

"Dr. Qian, what are you saying?" Chu Ruohan interrupted him with a smile. "Ruyan is pregnant now, so naturally she and the children should be the priority."

"There are plenty of people in the manor, so just take good care of her. If she needs anything, just let us know."

Gu Junze also said, "That's right. Doctor Qian, you don't need to be so polite."

Dr. Qian thanked him repeatedly, his smile never fading.

He rubbed his hands together, looked at Song Ruyan, then at everyone else, and was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

"I...I'll go brew some herbal medicine for her to help with the pregnancy right away! Yes, medicine to help with the pregnancy! The pharmacy also has some top-quality ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin..."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Song Ruyan grabbed him, both amused and exasperated. "I'm perfectly healthy, I don't need to drink these things. Be careful not to overdo it. Calm down first, don't jump around like that."

"Yes, yes, you're right, I was just too excited."

Dr. Qian nodded repeatedly, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down, but the upturned corners of his mouth still betrayed his inner elation.

He turned to Su Wan, his face showing a mixture of apology and gratitude: "Miss Su, I am so grateful to you yesterday. If I hadn't discussed pharmacology with you, I wouldn't have..."

He wanted to say that if he hadn't been discussing pharmacology with Su Wan, he wouldn't have been thinking about medicinal herbs so late at night, wouldn't have been kicked out by Song Ruyan, and wouldn't have had the opportunity to take her pulse in the early morning.

But saying it out loud felt a bit inappropriate, since it involved a minor conflict between husband and wife.

Su Wan was taken aback, clearly not understanding what he meant.

But she still smiled slightly, "I'm happy for you all to witness this joyous occasion."

Looking into Su Wan's clear eyes, Song Ruyan felt a little ashamed when she recalled her own little schemes from yesterday.

"Alright, alright, stop standing in the yard," Chu Ruohan said. "Ruyan, go back inside and rest. Doctor Qian, you stay and keep Ruyan company."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Doctor Qian hurriedly replied, carefully helping Song Ruyan into the house.

He kept reminding us, "Slow down, watch your step... Is the ground cold? Do you need to put on another layer of clothing?"

Song Ruyan rolled her eyes. "It's summer, what's with the coolness!"

His nervous appearance made Chu Ruohan and Su Wan unable to help but laugh.

Gu Junze watched the loving couple's backs with a smile in his eyes and said to Chu Ruohan, "Now, Dr. Qian can finally put his mind at ease."

Chu Ruohan took his arm and smiled, "This child has arrived at just the right time."

She turned to look at Su Wan and said gently, "Sister Su, let's go back too, so as not to disturb them."

Su Wan nodded and left the courtyard with Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze.

The morning sun shone warmly on her. She glanced back at the tightly closed courtyard gate, as if she could still hear suppressed laughter coming from inside.

Life in the capital city doesn't seem to be all about scheming and vigilance; there is also genuine joy and warmth.

Su Wan's mood brightened a bit.
