Gu Chenge is out.

“Your sister-in-law can ask,” he said.

Shangguan Wu thought for three seconds and asked, "Second Brother, if my daughter wants to learn the bamboo flute, can you teach her?"

I have a niece?

After her initial surprise, Gu Chenge agreed without hesitation: "Of course! If she wants to become a pilot, I can teach her!"

The word 'niece' drew everyone's attention to Shangguan Wu.

Shangguan Wu felt uneasy under everyone's gaze, and instinctively leaned against the sofa, but ended up resting her head on one of Gu Yunzhen's arms. Gu Yunzhen took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace.

She blinked. "No, I meant if."

Shangguan Xue said with concern, "Wu Bao, you are a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, so you should be aware of your own physical condition. If you are really pregnant, you must make sure to rest more and not overwork yourself."

Shangguan Wu nodded obediently: "Yes, I know, big sister."

Shangguan Shuang suddenly said, "Pregnant women shouldn't drink alcohol, so let's not play this game."

How would we know what her relationship with Mu Xiaozi was if we stopped playing the game? Gu Chenge said with a smile, "No, sister-in-law can't lose, we can keep playing."

However, Shangguan Shuang was very perceptive. Her brother-in-law's twin brother had followed her at the airport, and when she left the airport, she saw them standing with Mu Liangzhou.

"Excuse me, you guys continue playing, I'm going to the restroom."

Shangguan Shuang got up and left the private room.

She felt she had lost; they would ask her about her relationship with Mu Liangzhou. Of course, it was also possible that she was being cynical, but it was this intuition that helped her avoid many dangers while she was a trainee abroad.

She had barely left when the restaurant manager walked into the private room.

"Mrs. Gu, your dinner is ready. Shall we serve now?"

Ji Moyan nodded: "Please serve the dishes."

The restaurant manager spoke into the walkie-talkie, and the waiters filed in with food carts, placing 28 delicious dishes on a marble round table that could seat 15 people.

Gu Yunzhen got up and went to talk to the restaurant manager.

After the food was set out, the restaurant manager and the waiters left the private room.

Soon, everyone took their seats.

When Shangguan Shuang returned, the restaurant manager brought in hot milk tea and placed it in Shangguan Wu's seat.

"Thanks."

Shangguan Wu thanked him, and after the manager left, she turned to look at Gu Yunzhen beside her: "So you went to see the manager earlier to ask him to prepare milk tea?"

Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement.

"Thank you, husband~" Shangguan Wu smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curving into crescent shapes.

The two families had chatted before the meal and got along well, which made the meal even more harmonious.

As everyone raised their glasses, Shangguan Wu sipped her hot milk tea, feeling both sweet and warm inside.

When the elders of both families saw her drinking milk tea, they didn't ask any questions. Firstly, Shangguan Wu liked to drink milk tea, and secondly, she shouldn't drink alcohol today. They didn't even think that she might be pregnant.

The two families chatted happily at the dinner table.

Everyone was very satisfied.

After the dinner, the Gu family and the Shangguan family parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant and went home.

The Gu family drove four cars together back to their home.

Shangguan Wu and Gu Yunzhen's car was at the very back.

Inside the car, Gu Yunzhen stroked the back of her hand with his right thumb and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Shangguan Wu didn't react for a moment: "Tell you what?"

Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment, he leaned closer to Shangguan Wu, their foreheads touching: "When did you find out you were pregnant?"

Well!

Shangguan Wu blinked in surprise.

She snuggled into his arms and said, "Actually, I was just guessing. I used to like spicy food. If we look at the five levels of spiciness on the spiciness scale—fragrant spicy, sour spicy, numbing spicy, super spicy, and insanely spicy—then I would have eaten the third level, numbing spicy."

But lately I've been craving spicy food, especially the super spicy and insanely spicy kind. I've also been feeling sleepy a lot lately. At first, I thought it was just because of the winter, but all of these factors combined make me think I might be pregnant. I can't tell by taking my pulse right now, but I'll definitely know once more time has passed.

Honey, I really didn't mean to hide it from you.

Gu Yunzhen raised his hand and patted her head, his voice low and gentle: "Good girl, I know."

His magnetic voice is like an electric current; no matter how many times you listen to it, it's always captivating.

Shangguan Wu touched his ears; they felt numb and tingly.

Back at the Gu residence, Shangguan Wu took a shower and lay on the bed, feeling drowsy.

As she drifted off to sleep, she felt a large hand caressing her stomach, as if it were a priceless treasure.

I think I heard my daughter say something, but she was too sleepy and her eyelids were stuck together, so she ignored it.

When Shangguan Wu woke up the next day, he felt refreshed and energized.

Good morning, honey.

Gu Yunzhen glanced at the time—9:40—quietly closed her notebook, and asked with considerable curiosity, "Good morning, Madam seems quite pleased?"

Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "I had a wonderful dream last night."

"What sweet dream?"

"I can't say it, or it won't work."

Shangguan Wu got out of bed with a smile and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow and walked over, his arms crossed, his tall and straight body leaning against the bedroom door.

Shangguan Wu looked at him while brushing her teeth: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yunzhen guessed, "Is it related to our daughter?"

Shangguan Wu's eyes lit up, as if asking how he guessed it!

Gu Yunzhen: "..."

Even before his daughter is born, he already has the feeling that she's second in his heart. Is that just his imagination?
