Qiu Lian burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Indeed, in our compound, Camp Chief Luo is a real gentleman. The rest of the men, oh dear, they take this matter so seriously. As soon as they know their wife is pregnant, they’d wish they could crawl into the womb to see if it’s a boy or a girl." Speaking of the people in the compound, Fang Pingying suddenly found herself thinking of Bai Jing and her husband, for some reason. Although ever since that time they rode the bus back from the city together, Fang Pingying hadn’t run into Bai Jing again, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy every time she remembered how Bai Jing had lavished praise on Luo Zhiyong in front of her, making him out to be as precious as a flower. She had a feeling that Bai Jing might be an even tougher nut to crack than Xu He. Thus, keen to learn more about Bai Jing’s circumstances, she probed Qiu Lian, saying, "Not everyone, I actually think Zhou Guangsheng is quite good. Look at him, it’s been several years since he married Doctor Bai and they still haven’t had kids. Maybe Doctor Bai is too busy with work and doesn’t want children?" Upon hearing this, Qiu Lian looked around, leaned close to Fang Pingying, and whispered, "No, I heard that Bai Jing has some health problems, she can’t have children." Fang Pingying had heard about this before from juzi, so she wasn’t overly surprised. Smiling, she said, "If that’s true, doesn’t it show that Zhou Guangsheng really loves Bai Jing to his bones? Not minding not having children at all." "Ah, it’s hard to say about that stuff, but Chief Zhou seems like a really nice guy, honest and enthusiastic when dealing with people," Qiu Lian said with a sigh. Normally, Bai Jing didn’t interact much with them, so they weren’t very close. "Do you think their marriage is good?" Fang Pingying asked, "I somehow feel like Bai Jing doesn’t really have feelings for Chief Zhou. Bai Jing is always so cold. Could it be that Bai Jing has other plans?" Qiu Lian seemed to become quite conflicted after hearing what Fang Pingying said; she glanced at Fang Pingying with a complex look and then started to broach the subject, "You’ve noticed it too, actually, I’ve long realized that Bai Jing seems to have a liking for your family’s..." Qiu Lian didn’t finish her sentence because Luo Zhiyong came back from work, and they heard the sound of the door being unlocked outside. Since he knew at noon that his wife had gone to the city, he had been worried, and on returning and finding her at home, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Qiu Lian in his house, he greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you’re here." "Oh, Camp Chief Luo is off work, which means my Old Su is off work too. I’ll head back first and come look for you again tomorrow," Qiu Lian said, picking up the sleeping Lele from the sofa and grabbing the bracelets as she left. Fang Pingying was somewhat disappointed; she had the intuition that Qiu Lian was about to talk about Bai Jing liking Luo Zhiyong, but they were interrupted. It seemed she would have to find another opportunity to ask Qiu Lian. Though Qiu Lian had a good relationship with Fang Pingying, she was a very cautious person and didn’t usually make careless comments about sensitive matters. But today, perhaps because she had received a favor from Fang Pingying, and as a woman, she inevitably let her guard down momentarily, and sometimes would use gossip as a way to return a favor. It wasn’t that Fang Pingying didn’t trust Luo Zhiyong; she simply wanted to gather more information about Bai Jing. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. After Qiu Lian had left, Luo Zhiyong remembered that Fang Pingying had gone to the city today, and with a laugh, he asked, "So, what did you buy from the city today?" Luo Zhiyong’s question reminded Fang Pingying of her trip to the hospital with Fang Xiu today, and she told Luo Zhiyong, "A few days ago, didn’t I go out with Fang Xiu? And we came back quite late that night." Luo Zhiyong was taking off his military uniform and looked at Fang Pingying with a half-smile, "Remember, someone got pretty angry that day." Fang Pingying smiled and glared at him, "I wasn’t talking about that, I actually accompanied Xiu’er to the hospital to see the doctor that day." "Did Fang Xiu get sick?" Luo Zhiyong paused while taking off his clothes. Fang Pingying reached out to take the clothes he had removed and handed him a thicker cotton jacket to put on, "No, it’s just that she and Zhiming have been married for nearly half a year, and they haven’t been avoiding pregnancy, but she still hasn’t conceived. Your mother has urged them many times and is worried that there might be something wrong with Fang Xiu’s health. Fang Xiu was a bit scared, so she asked me to accompany her to the hospital to check if there was an issue with her health." "What did the doctor say?" Luo Zhiyong sat down on the couch, his expression also somewhat worried. After all, they were family, and if there was really a problem, it would be a difficult situation. Fang Pingying looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Fang Xiu’s health is fine." "That’s good then, they are both young, so there’s no hurry to have children." Seeing Fang Pingying’s face still held a trace of worry, Luo Zhiyong couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t tell me you’re as worried as my mom about this issue." Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong and considered her words, "That’s true, but don’t you find it strange? They’ve been together for quite a while, and they are newlyweds. Logically, it should have been easy for them to conceive." "These things are hard to say, aren’t they? Look at us, we only got pregnant recently," Luo Zhiyong said, then crouched down, his ear pressed against Fang Pingying’s belly, listening for any movement from the child inside. This had become a daily ritual for him since Fang Pingying became pregnant. "We’re not comparable. You had a foot injury at first, and then you joined the army. Afterwards, I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant either," Fang Pingying said, pushing his head away. "But Zhiming and Fang Xiu have always been together, and also..." Fang Pingying stopped mid-sentence, embarrassed to continue. What she wanted to say was that Zhiming and Fang Xiu were quite active in their intimate moments. Logically, this was the situation most likely to lead to pregnancy, and the fact that there had been no news suggested that something might be off. Luo Zhiyong knew what Fang Pingying was trying to say. He lifted his head with a slightly awkward expression, then coughed to cover up, "Let’s not worry about it too much. Since Fang Xiu’s health is fine, there must be no issue. Getting pregnant is just a matter of time. If my mom keeps pushing, let her. Besides, once she knows you’re pregnant, she probably won’t nag them anymore." Seeing how dense Luo Zhiyong was, Fang Pingying decided to speak more plainly, "What I mean is, why don’t you suggest Zhiming get checked at the hospital just to make sure he’s fine too." "Zhiming’s health is definitely fine, he was just with..." Luo Zhiyong stopped mid-sentence, his thoughts aligned with Fang Xiu’s concerns. Such suspicions were not something Fang Pingying felt comfortable voicing. So, she said, "Think it over and decide if Zhiming really needs to go to the hospital. I’m just giving you a heads up so it doesn’t become something we can’t handle later." "Alright, I got it. Next time I see him, I’ll talk to him about it." While Luo Zhiyong said this, he secretly thought Fang Pingying was overthinking things. Before mentioning whether that woman’s child was actually Zhiming’s, the fact that they hadn’t had a child for the moment didn’t seem wrong to him at all. There were plenty of couples who didn’t conceive within half a year of marriage, and besides, there are so many men who are infertile. In their entire Luojia Village, they hadn’t found a single one, and the same was true in their military compound. He felt that Fang Pingying was only thinking the worst because of her pregnancy, so he didn’t take it seriously. Because of his lack of concern, this issue later caused an uproar in the Luo Family, almost leading to a divorce between the couple. But that’s a story for another time. (To be continued.
