"Chenchen, your aunt hasn't seen you in a long time and misses you very much. Have some late-night snacks before you go back."

Gu Chenye said directly to Yan Yirou, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

"Oh." Yan Yirou didn't care who gave her the gift.

No sooner had the two left than Qin Yichen approached Shangguan Wu, stroked his chin, and asked, "Little cousin, does Third Brother Gu like her?"

The "she" here refers to Yan Yirou.

"Probably."

Shangguan Wu was distracted. She had something to ask Yan Yirou, but unfortunately, she couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with her.

She'll be visiting relatives and friends for the New Year starting tomorrow, so she'll have to wait until after the New Year to talk to Yan Yirou alone.

Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow: "Your husband won tonight and you're still not happy?"

Shangguan Wu was slightly taken aback, then smiled broadly: "I'm very happy!"

"and you……"

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Wu interrupted him, saying, "You're overthinking it."

Really? Qin Yichen clearly didn't believe it.

Gu Yunzhen brought over a plate of fruit salad and sat down next to Shangguan Wu: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Yichen looked at Shangguan Wu.

Shangguan Wu ate two strawberries before slowly saying, "My third cousin was going to take Yan Yirou home, but he intercepted the offer. He thinks my third cousin likes Yan Yirou."

Qin Yichen quickly clarified, "It's not that I wanted to give it to you, I just wanted to give it to you on my way, okay?"

The next second, he asked curiously, "But when did Third Brother start liking her? He's only been back for a few days, hasn't he?"

Gu Yunzhen adopted an indifferent attitude, saying, "I don't know."

Qin Yichen rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'd believe that?"

Gu Yunzhen gave him a cool sidelong glance: "I think it's believable."

Qin Yichen gave him a thumbs up: "Alright, you win."

He didn't press the matter, after all, whether Gu Sange liked Yan Yirou or not was none of his concern.

Shangguan Wu quietly ate her fruit salad.

My late-night snack was a bowl of dumplings.

After finishing his meal, Qin Yichen went home. If he didn't go home soon, his parents would definitely give him a good scolding.

Apart from Gu Xiaobao, who was fast asleep in his room, the Gu family members all sat in the living room keeping watch.

Ji Moyan asked, "Wu Bao, are you going back to your parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"

Shangguan Wu nodded: "Yes!"

Ji Moyan then asked, "Are you going to your uncle's house on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

Shangguan Wu nodded again: "That's what I was thinking. If Mom has other plans, I can reschedule."

"No, no."

Ji Moyan waved her hand and shook her head, but looked at her belly and said with concern, "Since you feel that you are pregnant, you should be more careful in the first three months. My family home is quite far away, and I am worried that you will not be able to handle the journey. So, I thought that you and Yunzhen should not go there this year. There will be plenty of time to visit in the future. What do you think?"

Shangguan Wu was slightly taken aback.

Afraid that she might misunderstand, Ji Moyan held her hand and said, "Mom didn't mean anything by it. I just thought that if you were pregnant, you shouldn't work too hard."

Jiang Yu had a severe case of morning sickness during her pregnancy due to the change in environment and water, and almost lost her baby.

She tried to dissuade her, but Jiang Yu was determined to go with her.

She knew Jiang Yu's thoughts and thought that Jiang Yu, as the mother-in-law, was deliberately making things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

But that's not actually the case.

Ji Moyan disliked Jiang Yu, but her son insisted on repaying the debt of gratitude to the Gu family. She neither stopped him nor bothered to use such petty tricks to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

After all, her difficult behavior will only make things harder for her son.

However, Jiang Yu is already dead, so there's no need to bring her up again.

"Mom, I know."

Shangguan Wu grasped her mother-in-law's hand in return, saying with emotion, "You've been thinking of me all along. If I couldn't even tell the difference, I'd be incredibly ungrateful. Are you leaving on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"

Ji Moyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Yes, we'll go on the second day of the Lunar New Year and come back on the sixth."

Since no relatives from Gu's side were visiting, she decided to stay at her parents' home for a few more days during the Lunar New Year.

Ji Moyan continued, "It's just you and Yunzhen at home now. If you're bored, you can stay at your parents' house for a few days, or invite your friends over."

Shangguan Wu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that her mother-in-law and the others would not return for four days.

Gu Yunzhen put his arm around Shangguan Wu's shoulder, looked calmly at his mother, and said in a low voice, "Mom, I'll take care of her, so don't worry about her."

Ji Moyan curled her lips: "You men are careless. When you get busy, you can't even take care of yourselves. I think it would be better to hire two midwives at home."

Upon hearing this, all five men of the Gu family protested.

Jimo Yan was too lazy to pay them any attention.

Anyway, they wouldn't dare to rebel.

Shangguan Wu was stunned. Calling a midwife so soon? What if she's not pregnant?

She tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mom, please don't invite her for now, okay? I can take good care of myself."

Ji Moyan had always dreamed of having a daughter, so when she heard her daughter-in-law's sweet and soft voice, how could she not agree: "Okay, whatever you say."

Shangguan Wu smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you, Mom."

"No need to say thank you to family members."

Ji Moyan liked to see her smile; it made her look energetic and spirited.

She added, "Wu Bao, if you need anything, just ask Yun Zhen to do it for you. If he doesn't listen, then call me."

"..."

Gu Yunzhen was speechless and choked with emotion.

As soon as it was midnight, Gu Yunzhen led Shangguan Wu back to their room to sleep.

Back in the bedroom, Shangguan Wu fell asleep the moment her head hit the bed.

Gu Yunzhen wanted to tell her not to listen to her mother, but as soon as she turned over, she fell asleep.

A hint of helplessness flashed across his deep eyes. He tucked her in, and then his phone vibrated twice. He looked at the caller ID, left the bedroom, and rushed into his study.
