Grandma Yu, sitting next to Lan Yao, peeled a pomegranate for Lan Yao while casually remarking, "Lan Yao not only loves spicy food, but also sour food."

Lan Yao likes both types of food quite a bit, but not as much as she has recently.

She poured an unusually large amount of vinegar. Apart from hawthorn-based foods, which she instinctively avoided, Lan Yao ate any other particularly sour foods without hesitation, and even felt that the taste was a little off.

Grandma Yu couldn't resist her curiosity and took a bite. Oh my goodness, that bite almost made her teeth fall out from the sourness.

It's incredibly sour; most people simply can't stand it.

Grandma Yu asked incredulously, "It's already so sour, and you still think it's missing a bite?"

Lan Yao nodded: "Yes."

Grandma Yu asked instinctively, "Are you pregnant?"

Otherwise, why would they love sour foods so much?

Lan Yao: "...Maybe."

"What do you mean by 'maybe'? Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out right now."

Then, Grandma Yu rushed Lan Yao to the hospital.

At that time, Gu Zixiao had been away on a business trip for more than a month.

He wasn't home, otherwise Grandma Yu might not have had to accompany Lan Yao to the hospital.

After a series of examinations, it was confirmed that Lan Yao was almost three months pregnant, which is nearly eleven weeks.

Grandma Yu was so happy she cried tears of joy.

Although Grandma Yu didn't join the ranks of those who encourage childbirth, she is still a traditional figure from the older generation.

She felt that since the two of them were married and living together, how could they not have children?

However, seeing that Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao seemed to have a clear plan in mind, she didn't get involved in the couple's discussion about whether or not to have a child, and when to have one.

Anyway, if the couple really wants to have a child, it doesn't matter when they have one.

However, if the couple doesn't have children, Grandma Yu might be a little unhappy.

After all, the couple has such good genes; it would be such a waste if they didn't have children.

Of course, it's still the same issue: whether or not to have children is a matter between the young couple.

She doesn't get involved.

I never expected this, I really never expected this.

So Grandma Yu wanted to treat Lan Yao very carefully, but said it wasn't necessary.

Because apart from being a little greedy, she had absolutely no physical discomfort.

So, when Gu Zixiao returned from his three-month business trip, Lan Yao was already almost five months pregnant.

However, although Lan Yao eats a lot, she is not fat and her belly is not that big.

It only protrudes slightly when you sit down.

Grandma Yu was a little worried before, so she took Lan Yao to the hospital again.

Then, after a check-up at the hospital, the results showed that everything was normal.

The doctor also said that it's not good if the fetus is too big. After five months, the belly will swell rapidly, and then you'll have to control your diet.

Grandma Yu wrote all of this down in her little notebook.

After all, giving birth back then was different from giving birth now.

In addition to these, the doctor also suggested that if the family has the means, it is best to come for a check-up once a month.

Lan Yao and Grandma Yu had no problem with this.

Although Lan Yao was certain that there was nothing wrong with the baby in her belly.

She drinks spiritual spring water every day, eats foods of unprecedented high quality, and also receives good things from other worlds through the Jade Abacus.

However, as the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Just to be on the safe side, it would be good to go to the hospital for a check-up; she's not short of money.

Now, Gu Zixiao has returned home and has keenly noticed the problem.

When Grandma Yu came to her senses, she couldn't help but look at Gu Zixiao with more respect.

How much must he care about Lan Yao? How much must he love her to notice those subtle changes in her?

Grandma Yu looked at Lan Yao and said with a smile, "Go ahead and say it. I'm going to take a walk outside."

I just finished eating, so I need to go out to digest.

So, only Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao remained in the courtyard.

Seeing that Grandma Yu was no longer there, Gu Zixiao immediately half-squatted down, took Lan Yao's hand, and said with some grievance, "Honey, you won't abandon me after you get a child, will you? And how is your health? Can you handle it? If you can't, then we won't have one."

Nothing is more important than his wife's health.

Gu Zixiao had previously been reluctant to let his wife get pregnant because he felt she was too young.

Who could have predicted the outcome?

It happened a few years later.

I'm just a tiny bit unhappy.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I can eat and drink without any problems. Of course, you're the most important person in my heart. So don't doubt me."

"Of course I had no doubts. I know exactly what kind of person you are, honey."

"Since you know that, then don't be unhappy. Otherwise, I might become unhappy too."

Gu Zixiao leaned against Lan Yao's knees. "I understand, wife."

He leaned against Lan Yao's knees for a while, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from his wife.

He then looked up at Lan Yao and said, "Wife, I recently went to the south again, and I found that the policies there seem to be loosening a bit."

Lan Yao calculated the timeline and concluded that it would still be about three years before things truly loosened up.

"Hmm. What do you want to say?"

Gu Zixiao: "I heard that quite a few people have returned recently. Wasn't your family one of the most prominent families in Shanghai before? Should we try to pull some strings?"

Lan Yao: "Okay. Let's get moving then."

The Lan family has left behind quite a few things on the surface, such as real estate, company dividends, and factory dividends.

Those things all belonged to the Lan family before.

Gu Zixiao: "What about Lan Jiaojiao?"

After all, Lan Jiaojiao was once considered a member of the Lan family, even though she wasn't their biological daughter.

Lan Yao: "Her? I had her removed from the Lan family long ago. My real household registration has also been transferred to the Lan family."

Besides, she's in a complete mess right now; she doesn't have time to deal with these things.

Lan Yao was really fed up when she found out that Lan Jiaojiao had actually become her family.

So, with her tacit approval, she let the jade abacus and jade pixiu absorb all of Lan Jiaojiao's last bit of luck.

Gu Nan originally liked Lan Jiaojiao quite a bit and treated her very well.

But later, perhaps because Gu Zixiao was too dazzling, he became too eager to obtain something.

Then, at this time, a woman of high status came along who wanted to be with him.

Gu Nan hesitated at first, but he couldn't resist the fact that the woman was beautiful, knew how to get along with people better than Lan Jiaojiao, and the two of them ended up in bed together by some twist of fate.

Later, Lan Jiaojiao discovered this and, in a fit of malice, pushed the woman, causing her to lose her baby.

Yes, the two were discovered as soon as they got into bed, and the woman lost her baby.

This is...
