Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 583: Could the Fetus Be in Danger?

An Junxi reflected on how unreasonable she was being and reluctantly compromised, "Then you must take me next year."

Gu Yikun helped her lie down on the bed. "Next year, let our Mrs. Gu present the top prize. You can do whatever you want."

He indulged her immensely. Before An Junxi fell asleep, she told him, "Honey, Mom knows the baby is a boy."

"I like both boys and girls."

An Junxi saw that he didn’t understand what she was implying and felt frustrated. "I wanted to surprise myself, but Mom asked the doctor so quickly."

Gu Yikun noticed the underlying meaning in her words. "Xi Xi, elders tend to be anxious. Mom is trying to change. She can’t take care of you while in the United States, so she frequently asks the doctor about your prenatal check-ups."

An Junxi immediately felt less upset. She realized she had been a bit petty.

"Yi Ke, I’ve been overthinking."

Gu Yikun kissed her hair. "It’s okay to overthink. The important thing is to tell me, and not keep it to yourself."

An Junxi felt she was getting spoiled by her husband. "If you pamper me like this, no one will be able to stand my temper in the future."

"That’s my intention. You can only be mine."

An Junxi fell asleep with a sweet smile on her face beside her husband.

She thought the nightmares would leave her alone, but they came back in the middle of the night. She woke up unable to calm down and kept telling Gu Yikun that she couldn’t feel the baby moving.

She had been recording the baby’s movements daily since the nightmares began. Lately, the movements had decreased. It hadn’t been long since the last prenatal check-up, and the doctor had assured her that the baby was healthy.

An Junxi was very scared. Gu Yikun was concerned that she was overly agitated. "I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow. Try not to worry too much."

An Junxi shook her head. "I can’t sleep, Yi Ke. I keep dreaming about the baby crying."

Feeling an emotional connection with her baby, An Junxi touched her belly and said fearfully, "I want to go to the hospital."

"Alright, we’ll go to the hospital."

Gu Yikun instructed Xiao Liu to prepare the car. He helped her change clothes and carried her downstairs.

An Junxi didn’t dare to wake up her parents or the child, not wanting them to worry.

The car headed to the hospital. On the way, Gu Yikun called to ensure the hospital was ready for their arrival. When they got there, the doctors and nurses were waiting for them.

An Junxi described her discomfort to the doctor. After an examination, it was clear on the machine that the baby had the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck twice.

"The umbilical cord is wrapped around the fetus’s neck, limiting its movement. That’s why you feel the baby isn’t as active as before."

Gu Yikun stayed by An Junxi’s side. Hearing the doctor’s words, his hand trembled slightly.

An Junxi involuntarily clutched her husband’s sleeve. No wonder she couldn’t feel the baby move. The little mischief that used to be so active was now very still. The baby must be very uncomfortable with the cord wrapped around its neck twice.

She was very worried. She hadn’t encountered this situation with Ai Xi. "Husband..."

Suppressing his anxiety, Gu Yikun held her hand and calmly asked the doctor, "Will the baby be in any danger? What can we do?"

The doctor professionally analyzed, "Umbilical cord around the neck is a common situation. Some cases involve one loop, others two. The fetus’s current condition is relatively good. The loops are loose, not causing blood circulation problems or pressure on the jugular vein. Mrs. Gu should try to stay relaxed. The baby and mother are connected emotionally; the mother’s feelings can affect the child. In the later stages of pregnancy, the baby usually disentangles the cord through its own movements if the signs are favorable."

An Junxi understood the doctor’s words, but knowing that the baby was still tied by the cord made her anxious.

The doctor recognized the pressure on the pregnant woman and additionally told the president, "During this period, the president must pay special attention to Mrs. Gu’s emotional state. Avoid stress and anxiety; this is key for the baby’s development."

Gu Yikun stepped out with the doctor for a moment to ask specifically about ways to comfort a pregnant woman’s emotions. Meanwhile, the nurse comforted An Junxi, "Mrs. Gu, don’t worry. We’ve seen many similar cases. It’s very common. Just maintain a positive mindset and keep up with the check-ups."

An Junxi chatted briefly with the nurse. She was familiar with a few of them, including a nurse named Yuan Yuan, who said, "Mrs. Gu, you look beautiful when you smile. You should smile more; it will make the baby happy too."

An Junxi smiled slightly. "Thank you. Yuan Yuan, you’ve been at our hospital for a long time, haven’t you?"

Being singled out, Yuan Yuan felt excited. "Yes, I’ve been working here for several years, but I’m still just a junior nurse."

She looked a bit shy, her round face turning red, appearing like a freshly graduated young girl.

An Junxi encouraged her, "You’re doing a great job. You’ll get promoted. Keep it up."

Yuan Yuan nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Mrs. Gu. I certainly will."

An Junxi was then transferred to a ward. Yuan Yuan eagerly asked, "Mrs. Gu, may I take care of you?"

Nurse Lin, who was strict, said, "You’re not qualified yet. I’ll handle it."

An Junxi didn’t want to interfere with the hospital’s staffing decisions, and besides, she trusted the head nurse more. She apologized to Yuan Yuan, "Nurse Lin will be enough. I’ll be able to go home in a few days."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Okay then, I’ll get back to work and not disturb your rest."

As she left the ward, Gu Yikun just arrived. She made way for him and greeted the president, who, in his haste to see his wife, ignored the young nurse.

He sat by An Junxi’s bedside, reached out to tidy her hair, and said, "I spoke with the doctor. Let’s do another check-up in half a month. Don’t worry, the baby will be fine."

Actually, he was more worried than anyone. He didn’t want her to experience even the slightest mishap.

An Junxi blamed herself. "I’m always worrying about this and that, making the baby unhappy too."

"Silly mom, how can you blame yourself?" Gu Yikun held her hand tightly, "It’s just the little rascal being too playful. When he comes out, I’ll spank his little bottom."

An Junxi giggled at his remark. "You’re so fierce, you’ll scare the baby."

The head nurse left the room, giving the couple some privacy.

She found Yuan Yuan still standing at the doorway, watching. She pulled her away. "What are you looking at? Don’t disturb the president and Mrs. Gu."

Yuan Yuan followed the head nurse out, closing the door. As she did, she saw the president gently kissing his wife, their affection evident.

A trace of malice flashed across her face. After closing the door, she turned around with a bright smile and said to the head nurse, "The president is so good to his wife. Mrs. Gu is truly fortunate."

"You don’t need to say that. The media has already reported that the president and Mrs. Gu are role models for married couples."

"Head nurse, I really want to take care of Mrs. Gu."

The head nurse saw through her ambition. "Don’t even think about trying to get close to the president. Remember Lv Jing? She disappeared, and no one knows where she went. You young ones don’t understand. Not everyone can reach that level."

Yuan Yuan silently thought to herself, who knows how long this model couple will last?
