"Doctor Song, what a coincidence," Lu Jueyu greeted Song Yan with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Song Yan asked with a hint of concern.
"Well, my husband and I came for a check-up," Lu Jueyu replied.
Hearing this, Song Yan studied her for a moment. Her flushed cheeks and bright eyes didn’t suggest illness. If she was here for a check-up, there was only one logical explanation—she was likely here for a prenatal examination.
Realizing this, he smiled knowingly and said, "Congratulations, Sister-in-law."
Taken aback by his sudden congratulations, Lu Jueyu quickly understood his implication. She looked at him and said with a chuckle, "We are still waiting for the blood test results."
"Sister-in-law, from my experience, the chances are very high," Song Yan said confidently.
Just as he finished speaking, Li Chenmo approached. His expression relaxed and content as he said, "Doctor Song, if you have some free time, come to my house for a drink."
Noticing Li Chenmo’s unusually cheerful mood, Song Yan agreed readily, "Okay! I’m off tomorrow. Brother Li, let’s have a drink then."
’Only a fool would refuse an invitation from Brother Li and his wife,’ Song Yan thought to himself.
Besides, he was still craving their famous tonic wine. His teacher had been so stingy, confiscating his share and leaving him longing for more.
Satisfied with the arrangement, Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Doctor Song, we still have other matters to take care of today. Let’s talk another day."
"Good," Song Yan replied with a smile.
After the brief conversation, Li Chenmo brought his wife to the state-owned restaurant. When the two of them arrived, they chose a table in the corner near the window. Sitting there, they could look at the people outside while eating and also enjoy the breeze.
"Wife, what do you want to eat?" Li Chenmo asked after she took her seat.
"Anything will do," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.
"Okay. Wait for a moment, I will order something," Li Chenmo said.
They only came here to spend the two hours of waiting time, so there was no need to buy too many dishes.
When Li Chenmo stood at the counter, he looked at the menu and frowned. The menu was so simple that it only had pickled vegetables, two-grain steamed buns, egg drop soup, and other homestyle dishes.
