Chapter 176 Sister Gu, you're 5 weeks pregnant

The lights in the Sheng family's house stayed on until 2 a.m. before Gu Xingnian finally persuaded the two elders to agree to keep the child.

Sheng Weiwei recounted Zhan Xiao's story in its entirety, how he had saved her from dire straits three times.

Upon hearing this, Sheng's mother burst into tears, choking back sobs as she said, "This damned fate, how did it turn into such a regret? Back then, your father pursued me relentlessly for three years, and I stubbornly refused. You were so foolish, my daughter..."

Mr. Sheng turned his head and looked at her with a deep look. Wasn't it Miss Gu who had clung to him for three years, even offering herself to him while drunk, and in the end, the two of them had no choice but to get married because of her pregnancy...?

However, she was a good wife. She helped him start from scratch, which enabled the Sheng family to become one of the four most powerful families in Haicheng.

Aunt Sheng put her arm around Weiwei and carefully escorted her upstairs.

Sheng's father walked over and said to Gu Xingnian in a heavy tone, "Niannian, be good, don't get too close to that Fu Beichen. I'm afraid it might cause someone's death. My heart can't take it."

There are only two left; we must guard them carefully.

"Dad, don't worry." She reached out to help him upstairs.

The night was deep, but Gu Xingnian couldn't sleep peacefully, her heart filled with a thousand knots.

The next day, Gu Xingnian accompanied Sheng Weiwei to the hospital for a check-up. The gestational sac already showed a fetal heartbeat and embryo. Hearing the thumping heartbeat, Sheng Weiwei burst into tears.

Fortunately, everything was normal, except that the HCG level was a little low and the mother was somewhat malnourished.

The doctor prescribed progesterone and nutrients to help maintain the pregnancy before letting her leave.

Just as the two were about to leave the hospital, the hospital director and several doctors caught up with them.

"N God, please wait!" Dean Huang shouted.

Gu Xingnian turned around in confusion and saw this huge scene.

"Ms. Gu, hello, I am Dean Huang. It is an honor to see you at the hospital."

Dean Huang bowed his head and extended his hand to her, and Gu Xingnian politely shook it back.

"Dean Huang, is something the matter?"

"Well, there's a rather urgent case here, and I'd like to ask Miss Gu for some advice," Dean Huang said, quickly introducing the handsome doctor in a white coat beside him.

"This is Dr. Ling Zhong, a cardiology expert we specially invited back from abroad. He has encountered a tricky case. Please show the medical records to Ms. Gu quickly."

Ling Zhong handed over the folder in his hand. "Ms. Gu, this is a patient's information. She has a serious heart condition and must undergo heart surgery within two months. However, she has a genetic disorder and is allergic to all anesthetics, so the team is helpless."

Genetic deletion, allergy to anesthetic?

Upon hearing these two words, Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei exchanged a thoughtful glance.

She took the case and examined it carefully. The patient's condition was quite critical; without immediate surgery, the blood vessels might become completely blocked. However, the human body cannot tolerate such a major surgery without anesthesia.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Currently, we can only treat it conservatively. I am researching a new anesthetic drug that is specifically for people with gene defects. I hope it can be developed in time."

"Excuse me, which city is this patient in?" Her voice sounded somewhat unsteady.

"In the capital." Ling Chong quickly replied, then took out his phone. "I wonder if I could add Miss Gu's contact information so that we can communicate later?"

Gu Xingnian scanned his QR code, and after passing the scan, they chatted for a few more minutes before leaving the hospital.

Ling Zhong watched Gu Xingnian's figure, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes unfathomable.

Stepping out of the hospital, one can see the Fu Group, a behemoth, just by looking up.

At this moment, the air pressure in the Fu family's meeting room was so low it could freeze a person to death.

None of the dozen or so proposals submitted today met Mr. Fu's approval.

Everyone could see that President Fu was in a very bad mood today; the icy look on his handsome face was so cold it could have drawn three feet of frost.

At that moment, he was staring at his phone screen, completely lost in thought.

Throughout the conference room, a group of executives deliberately held their breath, afraid that any unintentional gasp might disturb the big boss.

A few minutes later, Fu Beichen finally came to his senses.

He raised his eyes, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Meeting adjourned.

Two words, devoid of any warmth.

He stood up and walked straight out, leaving behind a room full of people who felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

In the CEO's office.

Lin Qi walked in carrying freshly ground coffee and saw Fu Beichen's tall figure standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

He held a cigarette between his fingers, the crimson flame flickering, his deep eyes fixed on the direction of the small apartment in the distance.

Lin Qi put the coffee on the table, walked over, and spoke with an air of fearlessness.

“Mr. Fu, your wife is not in good health right now and has severe anemia. When a person is not feeling well, they are bound to lose their temper.”

“You don’t know, you almost strangled your wife to death in Maduri, but she didn’t hold a grudge against you at all.”

Fu Beichen turned around abruptly, his brows furrowed.

How come he doesn't remember such a thing?

Lin Qi could tell from his expression, "Your memory isn't very complete; you've forgotten some things. Do you remember that time you threw her into the swimming pool? She was almost drowning, and you wouldn't let me go in to save her."

Fu Beichen's eyes visibly widened in shock.

Is that so?

Lin Qi sighed and shook his head. "If I were your wife, I would have stabbed you twice, and killing you a hundred times wouldn't be too little. Alas, your wife is still too kind."

Upon hearing this, the inexplicable frustration that had been weighing on Fu Beichen's heart miraculously dissipated.

Instead, he felt a heavy sense of suffocation, realizing that he didn't deserve to be angry with her at all.

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Qi took another step closer.

"Mr. Fu, do you want to win back your wife?"

Fu Beichen glanced at him and coldly uttered a few words, "You have a way?"

Lin Qi instantly straightened his back and puffed out his chest, even flipping his hair in a flamboyant way – he was so handsome it was practically a steal!

"Mr. Fu, in the game of love, there are only two most effective moves."

He flashed a peace sign, beaming with pride.

"Your first move is to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. You've used that move to its fullest potential in Maduri, and it's incredibly effective!"

"Another trick is to take advantage of your proximity!"

"Just think about it, if your wife were always around you, feeling your tenderness and passionate love every day, even the hardest iceberg would melt! Love that has survived life and death must bloom into a blood-red, exquisite flower!"

Finally, he concluded his brilliant speech with a resounding high five.

A different glint finally appeared in Fu Beichen's deep eyes.

He stubbed out his cigarette and said casually, "Three months' bonus, then we'll get back to it."

Lin Qi was overjoyed inside, but kept a serious expression on his face.

"Alright! I'll devise a foolproof 'moon landing plan' for you right away, guaranteeing that you'll willingly stay at Fu's as a beast of burden... oops, I mean, as the CEO's wife!"

And so he began his long and ambitious blueprint…

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom silently pulled up outside the Sheng family's gate.

Lynch got out of the car and went through the gate.

Ten minutes later, he led Gu Xingnian out, and the car sped away, heading straight for the Fu Group.

Fu's Building, 60th floor, Technical Department.

When Gu Xingnian appeared at the door, thunderous applause erupted.

The CTO led a group of top engineers, who lined up in two rows and looked at her with excitement.

Welcome, God N!

"Holy crap, it's N-God herself! She's so beautiful!"

"N God is our department's YYDS! Little D's savior!"

"N Goddess was once our president's wife."

The people whispered among themselves, their faces filled with undisguised admiration and excitement.

N God shocked the world at the press conference and made Little D famous overnight. Now, he is going to work with them. This is an honor that is truly extraordinary.

Gu Xingnian nodded somewhat awkwardly to everyone.

She came here with a very important task.

Little D's database needs a complete upgrade. The six cancer modules that were hastily built before are already overwhelmed by the surge in clinical data.

Each cancer diagnosis and treatment plan must be expanded into an independent system.

In addition, there are more than two hundred minor issues discovered in clinical practice that cannot be found in the database, all of which she needs to address personally.

This workload, conservatively estimated, would take at least half a month.

The technical director personally showed Gu Xingnian around the entire department and finally led her to a private office.

The office is large and spacious.

On the desk facing the floor-to-ceiling window sits a supercomputer with explosive performance.

On the coffee table next to it were a beautifully sliced ​​fruit platter, cute French pastries, and a pot of steaming flower tea.

This treatment is truly top-tier.

Without much thought, she turned on her computer, logged into the system with the highest privileges granted by her supervisor, and immediately immersed herself in her work.

On the other side.

In the top-floor CEO's office, Gu Xingnian's image was clearly reflected on the huge monitoring screen.

Fu Beichen just watched quietly.

Watching her intently typing on the keyboard, watching her occasionally furrow her brow, watching the torrent of code flowing from her fair fingertips.

His eyes were so gentle they could melt your heart.

More than an hour later, Gu Xingnian finally felt a bit tired.

She put down the mouse, stood up, and stretched her neck.

She walked to the coffee table, sat down, picked up a piece of matcha mousse, and put it in her mouth to taste.

"Hey, Sister Gu, I'm here!" A childish, electronic voice rang out.

Number 001, Little D, slid in, moved smoothly to her side, and extended a small mechanical hand to gently poke her knee.

Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head, picked up its little hand, and examined it from all angles.

His face was full of surprise.

"You have hands now? And you can move them so nimbly?"

"Of course!" A smug expression appeared on Little D's LCD screen. "I'm number 001. The more perfect I am, the more outstanding the Little Ds that follow will be! I don't just have hands, I have feet too!"

As soon as it finished speaking, a soft mechanical sound came from its body, and its entire body was raised. A pair of mechanical legs wearing small golden shoes emerged from below and even took a couple of steps in a rather professional manner.

Sudden.

Its little hand pressed hard on a button on its chest.

M.J.'s classic dance music echoed throughout the office.

Little D's entire body flashed with colorful lights, and he immediately performed an explosive robotic dance.

Gu Xingnian was completely amused by its appearance and covered her mouth, giggling.

Watching this scene on the screen, Fu Beichen couldn't help but smile.

He stared at the smiling woman on the screen, and several times he wanted to rush downstairs.

But he held back.

He had promised Lin Qi that he absolutely could not see her today.

Otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain.

All he could do was gaze at her greedily through a cold screen.

The phone suddenly rang. He left his computer, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, talked on the phone, and lit a cigarette.

After the dance ended, Little D immediately ran to Gu Xingnian's side and rubbed her leg with her round head.

"Sister Gu, could you give me a drop of blood? I'd like to test your health."

She gently patted its head. "I'm busy. Maybe next time."

"Sister Gu, please, just one drop!" Little D pleaded and rolled around beside her like a child. "I'm so bored, please play with me for a while."

After it finished speaking, the lid on its belly rose up, and a thin blood collection needle was deliberately extended, looking at her expectantly.

Gu Xingnian, unable to bear its nagging any longer, had no choice but to extend her finger.

"Just this once."

"Yay!"

The pointer pierced in swiftly, then withdrew just as quickly.

"Data loading... Wow... Wow wow!"

Little D screamed repeatedly, and the little face on the LCD screen flashed with more than a dozen extremely surprised emojis in an instant.

Thirty seconds later.

It used all its strength to shout with delight.

"Sister Gu! You're five weeks pregnant! You're going to be a mom!"

"The CEO is finally having a baby! 001 is so happy!"

Gu Xingnian froze, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
