Chapter 1200 - Borderline

"You really don’t blame me?" Long Jinjing asked in a small, careful voice.

Lu Zihao sighed. "I don’t blame you. It’s my fault as well for being careless and not asking if you’re still taking the pills before having sex with you without a condom."

She bit her lower lip but still felt better knowing that he wasn’t blaming her at all.

"But what’s this?" He pointed at the pregnancy test kits. "Two are negative but one is positive."

"I don’t know either. Maybe the positive one is faulty."

"Or the two negatives are the ones that are faulty."

She paled. "N-no! I don’t think so."

He stared at her, making her squirm in her seat. Then he stood up. "Let’s go."

"Go where?"

"Bacon," he called.

It took a few seconds before the bored, child’s voice responded. "Uncle Zihao."

"Inform your mother’s doctor that your Aunt Jinjing and I are coming for a check-up."

"Bacon understands. Please wait a moment."

About a minute later, Bacon returned. "The doctor says that she’ll meet you at the clinic."

"Hm, good." Lu Zihao pointed at the pregnancy test kits and told Long Jinjing, "Bring those and show them to the doctor."

"Okay." She grabbed the shopping bag from the convenience store on the bed and put the test kits and their packaging inside. Then she remembered something. She also took the bottle of oral contraceptive pills from her handbag.

"Ready?" Lu Zihao asked.

She nodded.

"Let’s go."

She didn’t move.

"What are you waiting for?"

She looked at his body up and down. "You’re going out like that?"

"Ah." He shrugged and removed the towel wrapped around his waist before tossing it on the couch. "Fine. I’ll wear some clothes."

Her face turned red when he sauntered naked to the walk-in closet like it was nothing. She turned her head to the side, feeling shy to look at his nudity even though there was basically nothing in his body that she hadn’t seen before. Her traitor eyes, however, couldn’t help but take a peek and enjoy his impressive muscles and magnificent body. Despite the seriousness of their situation, she still felt like something was melting inside her just by looking at his sexiness.

She was still in a daze, her brain once again falling to amoeba level, when he returned wearing a pair of jeans. It rode low on his hips, making her mouth water. She swallowed hard as her eyes feasted on his ripped abs and big, wide chest that she could just lay on forever.

"Continue looking at me like that for a second longer and we won’t be able to go to the doctor tonight because I’ll want to fuck you all night long instead," he said with a raised eyebrow. "Like what we always do."

His words woke her up from her daze. She shook her head, forcing her mind to focus on the present.

Lu Zihao smirked and allowed her to look at his naked chest for a few more seconds before finally wearing a shirt. Then he held out a hand to her. She took it and they held hands while heading out of their bedroom.

Later, they sat in the clinic while Iris’ private doctor examined the three used pregnancy tests and the pill bottle.

Long Jinjing looked around, feeling nervous. She heard that this suite was converted into a temporary clinic for her pregnant sister. The hospital wing on the other side of the mansion was still under construction. Jin Liwei mentioned before that he wanted Iris to give birth at home but with all the technology of a modern hospital and the skills of great doctors and nurses.

Lu Zihao draped an arm over Long Jinjing’s shoulders and pulled her closer to him. She pressed herself to him and felt her anxiety abate a little.

The doctor started asking her questions.

"When’s your last period?"

She answered that it was last month. Her next period was due in a few days.

"Any exhaustion, urinating more than usual, sensitive breasts, nausea, vomiting?"

"N-no...I’m fine, I think."

"When’s the last time you had sexual intercourse?"

She blushed.

It was Lu Zihao who answered instead. "Last night."

"Did you wear a condom?"

"No. I haven’t worn a condom since she started taking pills last month."

"I see." The doctor glanced at Long Jinjing. "Come with me. I need to examine you. Then we’ll do a pregnancy test."

"Y-yes." Long Jinjing followed the doctor behind a curtained bed while Lu Zihao waited in his seat.

The physical examination wasn’t too bad. Afterwards, she took a blood test.

"I’ll have to analyze your blood sample in my in-house laboratory here so you’ll have to wait a few hours for the results."

She nodded. "Okay. Thanks, Doctor."

Long Jinjing and Lu Zihao left the clinic and returned to their bedroom. Neither of them spoke, too preoccupied with their own thoughts. They just embraced on the couch.

It was already past midnight when Bacon informed them that the doctor was calling them with the results. They immediately went back to the clinic where the doctor was waiting for them.

Long Jinjing was covered in cold sweat. She was gripping Lu Zihao’s shirt so hard that it already stretched out of shape.

"I have the results here," the doctor told them.

She nodded.

"Your hCG levels are in the range of being borderline pregnant."

Lu Zihao frowned. "Borderline pregnant? What the fuck does that mean?"

"It means that it’s above the range of non-pregnant women but below the range of certain pregnancy. This usually occurs when conception is one week old or less. It takes around two weeks, preferably more, for the body to develop hCG levels high enough for our tests to detect and ascertain a pregnancy."

"So...that’s the reason why two of the pregnancy test kits I used showed negative while the other one said positive?" Long Jinjing asked.

The doctor nodded.

Lu Zihao was still frowning. "So is Jinjing pregnant or not?"

"Yes, it’s safe to say that she’s pregnant but we have to conduct another pregnancy test a week from now to confirm it 100%."

"Oh." Long Jinjing touched her belly, looking at it in utter shock. "Oh!"

"Congratulations," the doctor told them.

Long Jinjing covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the body during pregnancy. It supports fetal growth. Doctors test hCG levels in the urine and blood to confirm pregnancy.
