Chapter 263 What... What psychological preparation

At the dining table.

Xu Jialan bit into the shrimp dumpling and sent a message to An Yuening.

Ask her if something happened in her company.

There was a quick reply from the other side.

"It's okay, just stew the shrimps and crabs in one pot."

This describes...

Xu Jialan couldn't help laughing.

Shen Xichuan looked at her, “What are you laughing at?”

"Nothing, I just happened to see a joke and thought it was a little funny."

Xu Jialan exited the dialog box with An Yuening, turned off the screen and put his phone down.

Shen Xichuan glanced at her phone with a black screen and didn’t ask any more questions.

"There's a mall near the hotel. Do you want to go shopping?"

Xu Jialan thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead."

It’s a rare opportunity to come to Hong Kong City, so I can’t just stay in the hotel and not go out.

"good."

Shen Xichuan had someone arrange everything.

......

The two stayed in the port city for nearly a week.

Then I returned to South City.

Several chefs from Hong Kong also went back with them.

Fortunately, the new house, which is Courtyard No. 1, is big enough.

It was not until he came back this time that Xu Jialan found out that Shen Xichuan had converted the downstairs floor into a place for chefs and servants to work and rest.

Usually, all the cooking is done in the professional kitchen downstairs.

There won't be too much smell of oil smoke here.

Even the servants went downstairs to wait after cleaning.

These are all elderly people specially transferred here by the villa manager.

I am very familiar with Shen Xichuan's living habits.

An Yuening sat casually on the carpet. After taking a few bites of Hong Kong-style dim sum, she tutted her tongue a few times. "Other people's husbands, if you like dim sum, will just buy you more on a regular basis. But your husband will just bring their chef home."

She gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome."

Xu Jialan smiled helplessly yet happily, "Aren't snacks enough to shut you up?"

"enough."

An Yuening ate a few more snacks without any hesitation.

She looked at the suitcase filled with gifts and asked, "Why did you buy so many things?"

"I brought some for my colleagues in the laboratory and the lab."

Xu Jialan said, "By the way, your gift is in the box inside. Wait for me for a moment, I'll go get it."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

An Yuening chewed the snack and spoke vaguely.

Xu Jialan smiled faintly, said nothing, stood up, and prepared to get the gift from the box in the cloakroom.

She had just stood up and taken a few steps when she felt dizzy and staggered a few steps.

When An Yuening saw this, she quickly threw away her fork, stood up and supported her.

"Shit, what's wrong with you? Did you miss breakfast and have low blood sugar?"

Xu Jialan closed his eyes, frowned, and shook his head, "I don't know, I think so."

"Don't you know whether you've eaten or not?"

An Yuening quickly helped her sit down, "Okay, stop moving, let me take a look at you first."

As she spoke, she stuffed a cup of sweet soy milk into Xu Jialan's hand.

"Hurry up and finish it for me."

Xu Jialan's cold eyes seemed to be filled with a smile as he took the soy milk and said, "Okay."

An Yuening sat next to her and took her pulse with her fingertips.

After a few seconds, her expression froze.

After seeing this, Xu Jialan slowly put away the smile on his face.

"What's wrong?"

An Yuening glanced at her and said nothing.

Then he took the pulse carefully for a while.

Xu Jialan looked at her seriously and stopped drinking the soy milk in his hand.

An Yuening withdrew her hand, and her eyes clearly flashed with helplessness and a hint of surprise.

"You have to be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jialan's heart skipped a beat.

A bad premonition spread instantly.

"What...what kind of mental preparation?"

An Yuening drank half a cup of soy milk before saying, "That's right, you're going to be a mother."

Xu Jialan stood there in a daze.

My mind went blank.

What An Yuening had just said kept repeating in her mind.

"Ningning, I didn't hear you clearly just now. What did you say?"

An Yuening put down the cup and looked at her, word by word.

"You're going to be a mother, Lanlan."

She glanced at Xu Jialan's belly and said, "It's not a very early month, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it just now."

Xu Jialan slowly came to his senses and lowered his head.

His fingertips trembled slightly as he touched his abdomen.

There's really nothing to be seen about the flat belly.

But at this moment, she actually felt a faint heartbeat through her belly.

"Is what you said... true?"

She still couldn't believe it.

She is actually... pregnant?

An Yuening looked at her reaction and was not angry at being questioned. "If you don't believe it, we can go to the hospital for a test. It will be safer."

She just made a rough estimate and found that the baby in Xu Jialan's belly was less than half a month old.

It seems that she got pregnant around the time of the wedding.

Xu Jialan nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, let's go to the hospital."

She longed for confirmation.

Seeing this, An Yuening did not object, "Okay, let's go to a private hospital or..."

"Go to your side."

Xu Jialan said decisively.

The private hospital is owned by the Shen family.

If she had gone to the hospital, someone would have definitely informed Shen Xichuan quickly.

If the result is not, she doesn’t want to disappoint Shen Xichuan.

Hearing this, An Yuening nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

The two of them moved very quickly.

An Yuening was responsible for driving and went directly to the hospital.

Everything was arranged in advance, and when Xu Jialan arrived, he went straight into the examination room.

Half an hour later, the two men came out.

Xu Jialan was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.

She looked at the results on the report, her eyes slightly flushed.

"I can't believe that between us, you are the one who became a mother first." An Yuening supported her shoulders, "I am going to be a godmother."

Xu Jialan came back to his senses, looked at her, and smiled, "Not godmother, but aunt."

An Yuening: "..."

She realized it belatedly, "...I've lost a lot."

A good godmother turned into an aunt.

Isn’t it a big loss?

The closeness and distance have changed.

Xu Jialan raised the corners of his lips, "Not bad, if you don't mind, the baby can call you godmother in the future."

An Yuening raised her eyebrows, "Does he dare to mind?"

…

The day after Shen Xichuan returned to Nancheng, he went to Shen’s.

Shen Yankai made the appointment ceremony of a vice president as grand as if he were stepping down as president.

Shen Xichuan was originally impatient with this kind of ritualistic things.

But I still endured it.

After all, it was Shen Yankai who took on his share of the pressure during the years he was in the fire department.

After the ceremony, Shen Xichuan walked to the end of the corridor.

He tugged at his tight tie, then took out his cell phone and checked the messages.

He found that Xu Jialan did not reply to his message.

He couldn't help but frown.

At this time, footsteps were heard.

Shen Yankai came over with two glasses of red wine.

Hand him a cup.

"I've been looking forward to you so much, and finally you're back."

Shen Yankai clinked his wine glass, then raised his head and took a sip.

Shen Xichuan looked at the wine glass in his hand and did not move.

He was still staring at his phone in a daze.

Shen Yankai tilted his head to look at him, "You don't want to drink?"

Shen Xichuan wanted to take a sip, but for some reason he didn’t drink it in the end.

"Forget it, I won't drink anymore."

He put the glass down immediately.
