Chapter 727 - Role Swap
The three left the ultrasound room and returned to Jin Liwei’s private room together. Wang Yingjie finally showed the couple Iris’ positive pregnancy test result.
"I guess your appointment with me on the weekend is no longer needed," Wang Yingjie said.
Iris was too absorbed reading every word of her test result to respond, so Jin Liwei thanked his second brother on behalf of them.
"Second Brother, we owe you one," he said. "I know that your schedule is packed with surgeries but you still made time for us."
"You’re welcome, Third Brother. Don’t worry about it. We’re family. But from here on, it’s best for an OB-GYN to start looking after Xiulan now that we’ve confirmed that she’s indeed pregnant. I’m a surgeon so prenatal care is not my specialty."
Jin Liwei nodded. "I understand. We’ll do that."
"If you’re not satisfied with Xiulan’s current OB-GYN given that you haven’t seen that doctor and came to me instead ever since you started suspecting that she might be pregnant, I can refer you to someone else who I’ll guarantee will be very discreet."
Iris replied before Jin Liwei could do so. "Yes, let’s do that. Thank you, Second Brother."
Since he was already there, Wang Yingjie gave Iris a general check-up. She suddenly remembered something and brought it up with a concerned expression.

"I sensed that Liwei had been suspecting that I’ve been pregnant all along, but the idea was completely erased from my mind because I thought I menstruated last week. Yes, it was very light but I still bled. It didn’t concern me that time because my periods have been highly irregular since I woke up from my one-year coma. Now that I know I’m pregnant, I’m worried that I bled like that."
Wang Yingjie wrote on Iris’ file. His calm demeanour didn’t change as he reassured her. "Your baby twins look healthy when we checked them via ultrasound earlier. There’s no need to worry, Xiulan. You and your babies are fine. Some women may experience light bleeding during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, and it’s usually not something to be too concerned about. But the next time it happens, have your OB-GYN check to ensure that you and your babies are safe."
Both Iris and Jin Liwei nodded. They listened like attentive students when Wang Yingjie began the mandatory doctor’s lecture on the dos and don’ts during pregnancy. This was especially true for Jin Liwei. He even grabbed a hospital-provided notepad and pen on the bedside table to take notes. With how he was acting and asking all kinds of questions, it was as if he was the one who was pregnant and not Iris.
Wang Yingjie had his professional doctor’s expression yet his eyes revealed his amusement at how his third brother was acting. He turned to Iris. "How about you, Xiulan? Do you have any questions that you want to ask?"
She thought for a moment. "Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?"
Jin Liwei froze but quickly turned to face Wang Yingjie again and leaned forward on his seat towards him. It was obvious that he also wanted to know.
Wang Yingjie had to take a few seconds to control his expression. Fortunately, his professionalism as a doctor kicked in and he was able to prevent himself from snickering. This couple amused him to no end.
First, his third brother was acting like he was the who was pregnant with all his fussy questions. These questions were typically asked by the woman. Not always, but most of the time. And then when Iris finally decided to open her mouth, she asked the one question that a man would usually ask.
Their interesting role swap was tempting Wang Yingjie to tease the couple, but he eventually decided against it. He could sense the couple’s nervousness, and in Iris’ case, he could feel genuine terror. He didn’t know exactly why—there could be a million reasons—but neither did he want to know. Yes, they were basically family but it was none of his business. And he didn’t want to pry. He was certain that the couple could resolve their own issues by themselves without needing other people’s interference.
When he was sure that he wouldn’t burst out laughing, Wang Yingjie finally answered Iris’ question. "You have a tendency to faint, Xiulan, so keep that in mind and be extra careful. But overall, you’re quite healthy and fit, not to mention you’re still young and have a lot of energy. So yes, it’s safe to have sex while you’re pregnant."
Both Iris and Jin Liwei looked relieved which only made Wang Yingjie more amused.
"Thank goodness," Iris said. "I’ll probably go crazy if you told us that we can’t have sex. Now that I think about it, I noticed that my sex drive has increased recently. I find myself craving for Liwei in the oddest of times. It’s terribly distracting especially when I’m working."
Jin Liwei cleared his throat and shifted on his seat.
"That’s normal. Some women experience either a decrease or an increase in their libido during pregnancy. It looks like you’re one of those whose libido spikes up." On the outside, Wang Yingjie maintained his professional yet casual tone, but on the inside, he was enjoying his third brother’s discomfort at his pregnant fiancée’s straightforwardness. But regardless of his close relationship to the couple, at the end of the day, he was still a doctor and one who was always serious at doing his job well. Thus, he needed to be thorough like always in advising his patients. And in this case, his patient was Iris.
"I see no reason of stopping your sex life, but you also must not forget that you’re pregnant now, Xiulan. You and Third Brother need to be careful. Just do it normally. Don’t be too rough."
Jin Liwei opened his mouth but Iris beat him to it. She looked so serious when she asked, "Can you please be more specific on what you mean by ’too rough’?"
