Episode 12 recap: Xu Meng An has decided to keep the baby.
The music festival is about to start. Seeing that their daughter is just attending the music festival with her classmates and not doing anything out of the ordinary, Xu Meng An and Li Lin agreed to let Chun Jie go back to the music festival. He Lu and Chun Jie were delighted, and Liu Si Ming was also fortunate to go and enjoy the music with the two beautiful girls.
Xu Meng An and Li Lin were planning to go to the hospital for the surgery today, but they got delayed a bit to deal with their daughter's situation. On the way back, Xu Meng An was in excruciating pain in her abdomen, as if the strong emotions had affected the baby in her womb. Li Lin immediately drove Xu Meng An to the hospital.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Meng An looked at her husband's anxious expression and reflected on the journey from finding out about the pregnancy to now - from happiness to disappointment and despair, and the many bittersweet compromises. At the hospital, the doctor diagnosed Xu Meng An with low progesterone and asked if she wanted to keep the baby or not. Without hesitation, Xu Meng An chose to keep the baby.
Li Lin looked at Xu Meng An with gratitude, as her decision to keep the child showed her willingness to take on all the hardships to come. Seeing Xu Meng An in pain after the shot to prevent a miscarriage, Li Lin felt deeply pained as well.
Jia Hao Wen came to visit Xu Meng An in the hospital. Hearing that they had decided to keep the baby, he was genuinely happy for the couple. Li Lin still had some concerns, as the doctor had mentioned the possibility of a threatened miscarriage. Jia Hao Wen reassured him that Xu Meng Xin had also been told the same, but she ended up giving birth successfully.
Feeling comforted by Jia Hao Wen's words, Li Lin relaxed a bit. Jia Hao Wen took him out to have a meal and shared some tips on how to soothe a pregnant woman's emotions, as Xu Meng Xin had been having mood swings, but Jia Hao Wen's unwavering care and affection had helped them get through.
Since Xu Meng An decided to keep the baby, Li Lin has been even more attentive and gentle with her. He asked Xu Meng An when she had decided to stay, and she confessed that seeing her husband's anxiety on the way to the hospital made her want to give him more hope, as she had been pampered by her parents from a young age and might not have fully understood Li Lin's feelings.
When Jia Hao Wen learned about the situation with Li Lin and Xu Meng An, he was genuinely happy for his brother-in-law and sister. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to tell Xu Meng Xin the big news. Xu Meng Xin was so excited that she called her parents early the next morning to share the news.
Older people love children, and when they heard that their eldest daughter was pregnant with her second child, they were thrilled. They immediately gathered nutritional supplements from their home to send to Xu Meng An's family. These were the same items that Jia Hao Wen had previously given to their family, and the elderly couple felt that Jia Hao Wen was truly a filial child.
Chun Jie's grandmother had given birth to two daughters, and now seeing her eldest granddaughter pregnant with a second child, she wondered if the baby could take their family's surname. Xu Meng An's father thought it was unlikely, as even though Li Lin was an intellectual, he might not agree to the child taking the mother's surname.
While Xu Meng An was on bed rest at home, she suddenly received a call from her daughter Chun Jie. When Xu Meng An had gone to the hospital, she had told Chun Jie that she was going to stay with her aunt for a few days. Now that Chun Jie saw her parents at home, she asked what was going on. Xu Meng An's mother-in-law quickly helped Xu Meng An cover up the lie, allowing her to deceive Chun Jie.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Meng An surmised that her own mother must have also learned about her second pregnancy by now.
