A few days later, before the Lantern Festival, Lin Qingyu left with Gu Shi.

Gu Shi still managed to buy the train tickets through someone else. It's not as strict as it used to be; you don't need a letter of introduction to buy tickets anywhere anymore.

It used to be very inconvenient to go out, but things have become much easier since the opening up.

Lin Qingyu originally wanted to take Lin Weidong with her, but he preferred to stay at home for a few more days.

After Li Xiuhua and the other person start working, they will decide whether to go back to school or stay with Lin Qingyu for a few days.

After the family returned to the house, they cleaned it again before finally lying down on the bed with peace of mind.

Only when nestled in her own little bed did Lin Qingyu feel comfortable and relaxed.

The days that followed became busy again.

Lin Qingyu runs her own small restaurant, while Gu Shi develops his own factory.

Gu Shi originally planned to spend more time with Lin Qingyu, but as the factory grew bigger and bigger, he became busier and busier.

Sometimes I even need to go to other provinces for training or business trips, and I'm gone for half a month at a time.

In early March, Gu Shi went on another business trip.

Lin Qingyu had just cooked herself breakfast that morning, but after only a couple of bites, she felt nauseous.

Before I even got to the toilet, I vomited all over the floor.

Fortunately, there wasn't much in my stomach, and I only vomited a little bit of acid.

After enduring the discomfort and tidying up, Lin Qingyu suddenly had a strange feeling.

She hasn't had her period in a long time; I initially thought it was because she was too tired.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyu was at a loss.

Although they planned to have a child this year, they have always used contraception, so they don't know if this time will be the same.

If you want to know, you'll have to go to the hospital to confirm.

In the past, women in the village only found out they were pregnant after their bellies grew big and they could feel the baby moving.

However, Lin Qingyu was a little worried, so she decided to go to the hospital to check.

Because no one was open at the restaurant, she went there first, and after making arrangements, she went to the hospital by herself.

Blood test results are pending.

Lin Qingyu didn't receive the results until almost noon.

Looking at the data, she knew she was pregnant. To confirm it further, Lin Qingyu went to see the doctor before he left work to get the results.

"You are definitely pregnant. Are you vomiting? Do you have any other discomfort?"

The doctor was a bespectacled female doctor, not very old, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave work.

"I vomited once this morning, but I don't feel unwell otherwise. Doctor, how many months pregnant am I?"

The doctor started to get impatient and waved his hand, saying, "You still need an ultrasound. Everyone's off work now. Come back this afternoon!"

Lin Qingyu was at a loss and had no idea what to do. When the doctor urged her, she went out.

She has never been to the hospital because of pregnancy, except for a few days when she had a miscarriage.

Holding the test results in her hand, she walked out of the hospital and suddenly remembered that she should have told Gu Shi.

But Gu Shi is away on a business trip, how can she tell him?

Filled with mixed feelings of confusion, excitement, joy, doubt, and worry, Lin Qingyu slowly walked to the restaurant.

Business is as good as ever today; the store is packed with people.

The waiters were all busy, and Jia Hui, the cashier, saw Lin Qingyu return as if she had seen a savior.

"Boss lady, you can take the money, I'll go serve the food!"

This job is not easy, and everyone is reluctant to do it. Fortunately, Lin Qingyu came back.

Not long after I sat down, Jia Hui came running over again.

"Boss lady, someone over there is looking for you. They say they are the boss's people."

Lin Qingyu glanced at it, but it didn't look very familiar. After dismissing Jia Hui, she was about to walk over.

The man walked over, took off his hat, and looked at Lin Qingyu.

"Sister-in-law, I was sent by Brother Gu to visit you. He was worried that something might have happened to you, so I came over while he was away on a business trip!"

The man smiled and first explained his identity, then said, "My name is Lin Dajun, you can just call me Dajun, sister-in-law."

"I saw my sister-in-law went to the hospital today. Is she feeling unwell? Should I call my brother back?"

Gu Shi instructed that Lin Qingyu should not be disturbed too much, as long as her safety was guaranteed.

Therefore, Lin Dajun did not get too involved.

Lin Qingyu was taken aback before saying, "Gu Shi didn't tell me when you arrived?"

"Not long ago, just recently!"

Lin Dajun was still smiling, speaking vaguely. In fact, Gu Shi had already made arrangements after the last incident, but Lin Qingyu was unaware of it.

Hearing his words, Lin Qingyu didn't press the matter further, as long as it didn't affect her.

"Can you get in touch with Gu Shi? I need to talk to him about something."

Lin Qingyu was still holding the examination report in her hand, wanting to tell Gu Shi the news as soon as possible.

Lin Dajun said directly, "Sure, if there's anything you need, sister-in-law, you can tell me, and I'll pass it on to my brother!"

"No, I want to talk to him myself!"

Lin Qingyu was very insistent, so Lin Dajun guessed that it was either particularly bad news or particularly good news.

Judging from Lin Qingyu's expression, she is very likely pregnant!

"Sure, sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll take you to make a phone call after you've eaten."

Lin Qingyu then realized that she was extremely hungry. She hadn't eaten since morning, and her stomach was empty.

They found some food they wanted to eat in the kitchen and also arranged stir-fries for Lin Dajun. Only after they finished eating did they set off.

Lin Dajun rode his motorcycle himself; he dared not give Lin Qingyu a ride now.

So they specially arranged a car to pick up Lin Qingyu and take her to the factory.

When they arrived at Gu Shi's office, Lin Dajun dialed her number and then went outside to wait.

Lin Qingyu sat in Gu Shi's office chair, looking at the furnishings on his desk.

There are photos of them playing in Beijing, as well as photos that Gu Shi secretly took at some point. Although the resolution is not high, you can still see that the main characters in them are very happy.

The call was quickly connected, and Gu Shi's deep and powerful voice came through.

"Hello?"

Lin Qingyu didn't speak. After a while, Gu Shi's voice came out again.

"Little Jade?"

Lin Qingyu immediately broke down, "How did you know it was me?"

"Why don't other people call me or say anything? What's wrong? Did Dajun bring you here?"

Gu Shi had just finished a meeting and hadn't even had a meal yet; he was making a phone call with a smile on his face.

"I am pregnant!"

Lin Qingyu's words completely terrified Gu Shi.

He stood there, bewildered, hardly believing his ears.

"What did you say? Xiaoyu'er, you mean you're pregnant? Did I hear that right? You're pregnant, aren't you?"

"You heard me right, you're going to be a dad!"

Hearing Gu Shi's incoherent voice, Lin Qingyu finally felt joy.

The joy of becoming a mother, the joy of welcoming a child.

Lin Qingyu waited for a while, but Gu Shi didn't say anything.

But the heavy breathing coming from beside him meant that Gu Shi was still there.
