The next day, Ni Sitian remembered that Xiang Zhilan didn't seem very happy when she found out she was pregnant the day before, and she was afraid that she would argue with Shen Muzhi when she got back, so she called her.

“We’ve already argued about it. That guy actually punctured the condom.” Xiang Zhilan was still annoyed when she brought it up. “But she’s already pregnant, what can we do? Now we have to hire more employees and adjust my work schedule for the second half of the year.”

When Ni Sitian heard Xiang Zhilan say this, she knew that she had already forgiven Shen Muzhi. She smiled and said, "You have good luck in getting pregnant. You can get pregnant even with a hole poked in your head. It also proves that the child is destined for you."

Unlike Xiang Zhilan's good fortune in getting pregnant, she tried everything but failed to conceive again. However, she is much more accepting of the situation now and doesn't feel as much pressure as she did when she couldn't get pregnant the first time.

"It can only be explained by fate." Xiang Zhilan smiled helplessly; her ability to conceive so easily was truly remarkable.

Ni Sitian chatted with her for a few minutes, then, remembering how Su Yan looked yesterday, hesitated, unsure whether she should tell Zhi Lan her guess.

Actually, Su Yan's illness has a high relapse rate, especially since she was treated for the second time two years ago, so it's not surprising that it has relapsed again this time.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Xiang Zhilan held her phone, but after a long while, she didn't hear a sound from the other end.

“Zhi Lan, Su Yan came to see me yesterday,” Ni Sitian said, then changed the subject, “Ting Chuan and I have discussed it. Tuan Tuan will start kindergarten next year after the New Year, and the same goes for Xiao Chun. Have you decided which kindergarten you’ll go to?”

"It's that private bilingual kindergarten I showed you last time. They focus on cultivating children's interests, and the campus is in the city center, which is quite convenient." Xiang Zhilan didn't pay much attention to her earlier mention of Su Yan, and once she started talking about her child, she couldn't help but become very talkative.

Ni Sitian had something on her mind, so after chatting with her for a while, she hung up the phone and sighed softly.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" It's Sunday, and Xu Tingchuan is at home.

Ni Sitian looked at Xu Tingchuan, thinking that he and Su Yan were childhood friends, and wondered whether she should tell him that Su Yan's behavior yesterday was obviously an attempt to keep it from everyone.

"Tingchuan." Ni Sitian reached out and took Xu Tingchuan's hand, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and said, "Zhilan is pregnant."

"You told me that yesterday." Xu Tingchuan pulled her into his arms and smiled gently. "Are you envious? Then I'll put in a little more effort tonight, okay?"

"Don't be so serious." Ni Sitian gave him a reproachful look, then snuggled into his arms as she watched Tuantuan building blocks, whispering, "Su Yan had a lot of nosebleeds yesterday, and I think it might be..."

Xu Tingchuan's expression hardened. He grabbed Ni Sitian's shoulders and frowned, asking, "What did you say?"

“I asked her, and she said it was because she ate mangoes and got a sore throat. It doesn’t seem like it to me. She also seems unwilling to let anyone know. Do you think it could be…” Ni Sitian gripped his hand tightly with worry and said, “My eyelids have been twitching since yesterday. If that’s the case, and Zhi Lan is pregnant, I don’t know how things will develop.”

She had to admit that she was being a little selfish. She had discovered it yesterday, but she hadn't told Xu Tingchuan immediately because she was afraid that Xu Tingchuan would tell Shen Muzhi, and she was afraid that Zhi Lan would be hurt again.

Zhi Lan clearly likes Shen Muzhi more than she did two years ago; it's not the kind of indifferent feeling she has. She can't imagine the situation repeating itself.
