Sir Wu Zhong shifted his head to the side, looking at Du Heng in surprise and asked, "You have a lot of money?"

"Yeah, a lot," Du Heng nodded seriously.

"How much?"

"Seven figures, and it should be even more in the second half of the year. Eight figures wouldn't be a problem."

"That is indeed quite a lot of money." After hearing the number, the old man's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Then help me pay off the remaining mortgage, will you?"

"Sure, how much is it?"

"It's for a place made by knocking through four original rooms, so I actually owe the loan for three rooms. The total is 1,203 yuan, with five years remaining. Calculate it yourself and pay it for me."

Upon hearing the number, Du Heng's eyelids involuntarily twitched.

Those who had bought houses early really made a fortune.

Just as he was about to continue chatting with Sir Wu Zhong, Wu Shengnan's mother called everyone to the table for dinner. Du Heng stopped talking and walked to the dining table with Sir Wu Zhong.

After dinner, Wu Shengnan's father called his eldest son over. Judging from the situation, Du Heng knew what was going on and headed to another corner with Wu Shengnan.

Wu Shengnan glanced curiously at her elder brother and father, then whispered to Du Heng, "Did my brother make a mistake again?"

Du Heng shook his head. "No, he should have made a significant contribution to your Wu family."

Wu Shengnan looked at Du Heng in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I just observed your sister-in-law..."

"Are you crazy? Why are you observing my sister-in-law?"

Du Heng stared at Wu Shengnan speechlessly. "You're the one who's crazy. Why don't you speak louder so everyone can hear you?"

Wu Shengnan also glared at Du Heng. "It's what you said that's problematic, okay?"

"Stop digressing, let's talk business. Haven't you noticed that your sister-in-law's skin has become much smoother than before? Her neck and arms are a touch softer, and she seems a bit lethargic, lacking energy?"

Following Du Heng's words, Wu Shengnan's eyes inevitably lingered on her sister-in-law for a few more moments. "That's true! I hadn't noticed it before, but now that you mention it, I can see the difference. She used to be all muscle."

"But this change is so subtle, how did you notice it? And does this change have any special significance?"

The corner of Du Heng's mouth lifted slightly. "Have you forgotten where I work?"

"Maternal and Child Hospital, so what?" Wu Shengnan suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "Do you mean my sister-in-law is pregnant?"

"You're not too stupid."

However, Wu Shengnan frowned again. "But that's not right. During cooking, there was such a heavy smell of cooking oil, and my sister-in-law didn't show any unusual reactions."

"I've heard that many pregnant women can't stand the smell of oil and will have morning sickness."

Du Heng rolled his eyes at Wu Shengnan. "Nonsense. Morning sickness is related to the pregnant woman's physical condition. Some pregnant women do have very obvious morning sickness, and it can even last throughout their pregnancy. For others, however, it stops after three or four months when the fetus is stable and their body adjusts."

"But there's also a large group of pregnant women who don't have any morning sickness at all. Throughout their pregnancy, they eat and drink as usual and continue their daily activities."

"With you and your sister-in-law being the type who exercise regularly and have better physical constitutions than average women, there's over a ninety percent chance that neither of you would experience morning sickness."

"Of course, some women might take the opportunity of being pregnant to avoid housework and get more care from their husbands, so they might pretend to have morning sickness. Inexperienced, newly expecting fathers will most likely not detect it. Instead, they will be even more concerned and considerate towards their wives because of this supposed morning sickness."

Although Wu Shengnan listened very carefully, hearing Du Heng use her as an example, she couldn't help but lightly pinch Du Heng's arm. But as Du Heng continued explaining, she chose to trust his professional opinion, and a smile slowly began to spread across her face.

The issue of her older brother having children had been a great worry for the whole family.

However, Wu Shengnan's joyful smile had just begun to show when she saw the four people talking on the sofa, all revealing disappointed expressions.

What happened?

Wu Shengnan lightly nudged Du Heng. Du Heng understood and slowly approached the group.

"Big Brother, what's wrong?"

Wu Shengnan's older brother licked his lips and said with disappointment, "Dad just asked about the pregnancy."

"Is there a problem?"

"There's a temporary issue. Since you mentioned it last time, we've been trying to conceive, but..."

Du Heng paused for a moment, then leaned in and whispered, "Didn't you guys test it yourselves?"

Wu Shengnan's older brother also whispered, "Her period was late by five days this time. We not only tested it ourselves, but we also went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said there's no chance, that my wife was too anxious, and it affected her cycle."

Du Heng was suddenly startled and quickly asked, "Did the doctor prescribe any medicine? Have you taken it?"

Du Heng's sudden alarm startled everyone. Wu Shengnan's older brother, who now had complete trust in Du Heng, also became inexplicably nervous. "We just got the medicine today; we haven't taken it yet."

"PHEW." Du Heng felt a wave of relief. "That's good, that's good."

But Wu Shengnan's older brother was confused. "Xiao Heng, what do you mean?"

Instead of elaborating, Du Heng turned to look at Wu Shengnan's sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, let me check your pulse." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Instantly, everyone became excited. They all understood what Du Heng meant, and his family knew his skills very well.

Du Heng ignored the others and moved to sit beside Wu Shengnan's sister-in-law.

A minute later, Du Heng withdrew his hand and smiled at Wu Shengnan's sister-in-law and older brother. "Congratulations to you both."

Wu Shengnan's older brother sprang up, and even his wife had a look of surprise on her face. "Xiao Heng, are you sure?"

"Of course. I am the Dean of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital. I might make mistakes elsewhere, but not with this."

However, Wu Shengnan's older brother hesitated again. "But... but... when we went for the hospital check-up, why did they say there wasn't?"

"It was too early, so of course, they couldn't detect it yet. Wait another week or two, then go for a check-up, and you will definitely find out."

As Du Heng's voice fell, Wu Shengnan's older brother excitedly hugged his wife, not caring that his parents were right there. However, the elders had no intention of scolding their eldest son at this moment; they all revealed genuine joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Shengnan was also excitedly hugging Du Heng's arm, the corners of her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Hubby, you didn't diagnose incorrectly, right? Otherwise, a false alarm would be unbearable for my grandpa."

Du Heng gently patted Wu Shengnan's hand. "Don't worry, it's just a pregnancy pulse. I won't make a mistake with that."

"You're amazing!"

Hearing Wu Shengnan's praise, Du Heng felt three metaphorical black lines appear on his forehead. 'Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you say I'm amazing? Are you trying to get your brother to kill me?'
