The sales clerk bowed and quickly took Qin Hanshu's order, money, and ticket to the cashier, then hurriedly packed cookies for her.

The sales clerk was older, with deep smile lines at the corners of her mouth, clearly someone who always greeted people with a smile.

The girl named Xiao Xue wanted to say something, but an older saleswoman tugged at her from behind, causing her to swallow her words and mutter resentfully, "If you're so capable, don't come begging to me again..."

Qin Hanshu had no intention of getting entangled with her any longer. Once she got her change back, she took the cookies and left.

Seeing that it was still early, she didn't eat at the restaurant and went straight home.

As soon as she entered the building, Fan Hongxia stopped her and invited her to her home for dinner.

Before Qin Hanshu could refuse, Fan Hongxia had already pulled her into the house.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Fan Hongxia said as she headed towards the kitchen. "Anyway, it's rather lonely for me to eat alone. You can keep me company."

Qin Hanshu followed her into the kitchen and saw that the kitchen window faced the road outside. No wonder Fan Hongxia opened the door so conveniently to block her; she probably saw her return through this window a long time ago.

"You seem to have a daughter. I saw her the other day; she's a very cute little girl."

Fan Hongxia smiled and said, "Yes, her name is Duoduo. She is in the first grade at the military district primary school. She lives at school, goes home every Friday, and goes to school early Monday morning."

"Wow, so young and already living at school."

"There's no other way. I have to pick her up and drop her off every day, it's too much trouble." Although she said there was no other way, Fan Hongxia didn't seem to care too much. "Everyone is in the same boat. My little girl even prefers living at school."

Qin Hanshu seemed to be deep in thought.

Fan Hongxia laughed and said, "What? You're worried about letting your child, who's so young, board at school?"

A blush crept onto Qin Hanshu's face. "I still have a long way to go."

Fan Hongxia nodded and said, "That's true. You just got married and aren't pregnant yet. It will be many years before the child is old enough to go to elementary school."

That's what they say, and that's exactly what Qin Hanshu was thinking about.

How could she bear to let her child board at primary school?

After they made love that night, Qin Hanshu nestled in Zhou Weiguang's arms and casually mentioned the matter.

Zhou Weiguang misunderstood, and nervously touched Qin Hanshu's belly, "You're pregnant? Why didn't you say so sooner? I pushed so hard just now, will the baby be okay?"

Qin Hanshu slapped his hand away. "No! I meant later."

Zhou Weiguang was relieved. "We'll talk about the future later. Who knows what the situation will be like then?"

Qin Hanshu nodded, "That's true."

Zhou Weiguang rolled over and pinned Qin Hanshu down. "You want to have a baby?"
