Lying in bed, Lin Jingyan held Su He in his arms, gently stroking her belly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's have one more child, and then stop, okay?"

Su He had the same idea. She hadn't originally planned to have more children; two would be just right, so they could keep each other company. However, she hadn't expected that he, a native of this era, would think the same way.

I couldn't help but ask, "Why would you think that? Don't most families nowadays believe that the more children the better?"

Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "It's too tiring to raise more than that. Raising children is a responsibility. Two is enough. Any more and you'll have a lot more work. We can have one more and that will be enough."

"Okay." Su He nodded with a smile. "So, do you hope it's a boy or a girl?"

“A girl, I suppose…” Lin Jingyan thought for a moment, “It would be nice if she looked like you.”

Su He chuckled, "I doubt it. Everyone says daughters look like their fathers, but what if she looks like you when she's born?"

Lin Jingyan smiled helplessly, "Not necessarily. Yuanyuan looks like me, but when she has a daughter, she might look like you."

Su He didn't argue with him, but thought that it would be quite interesting to have a daughter who looked like him.

...

Because she was still very young, less than two months pregnant, Su He refused Lin Jingyan's offer to take her to work. After all, this was her second child, and she knew what she was doing.

Lin Jingyan didn't insist after hearing this, probably wanting to wait until the pregnancy was more advanced before making a decision.

When Su He arrived at the office, she didn't mention her pregnancy, since most of her colleagues were male and she felt embarrassed to say more.

He had only been sitting down for a short while when Captain Chen called him to his office.

"You performed very well in these two cases, and the higher-ups are very satisfied with you. I have proposed that you be appointed as the deputy captain in charge of the second squad. I hope you are ready."

Su He raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing this.

So fast?

She might have been very happy before, but now she was hesitant.

She just found out she was pregnant yesterday. Although she tries her best not to let it affect her work, it does make others worry when she's on assignment.

So Su He was a little afraid that she wouldn't do a good job.

Chen noticed her hesitation and asked directly, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there something you're worried about? Or are you afraid you can't handle it?"

Su He thought about it and decided to be direct, since everyone would find out in a few months anyway.

"Team Leader Chen, I'm pregnant. It's still early in the pregnancy. Although I tried my best not to let it affect my work, it will be inconvenient to go on missions later on. I will also need to take leave when I give birth. I'm afraid of delaying everyone's work."

Upon hearing this, Captain Chen fell silent, then thought for a moment and smiled at her.

"It's alright, don't worry. You're not the only female police officer in the bureau. Sister Wang also has three children, and she still works a normal job."

It's only right that we, as your colleagues, take extra care of you during your pregnancy, and the management understands as well.

But I hope that after you give birth, you can try to balance family and work. Sister Wang's family didn't support her becoming a police officer, so she's focused more on her family these past few years; otherwise, with her qualifications, she would have been promoted long ago.

Upon hearing this, Su He immediately replied, "Captain Chen, don't worry. My family is very supportive of my work, and my family will take care of the baby after it is born. I won't let it interfere with my work."

Captain Chen was relieved to hear that. "That's good. Since you promised that it wouldn't interfere with your work, then you can still be the deputy captain. I hope you won't let everyone and the leaders down."

But Su He still hesitated, "Why don't we wait until I give birth?"

Team Leader Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone understands. You're the most suitable person for this position, so you should start helping me out as soon as possible."

Su He finally stopped objecting after hearing what he said.

"Okay, Captain Chen, don't worry, I will definitely do my best and will not let down the leader's trust."
