Chapter 152 I never expected... you two are actually going in the same direction.
The next afternoon.
Sang Qian and Su Luoluo arranged to meet at a quiet dessert shop.
"So you're saying that Jin Changyu actually liked you from the very beginning?"
Su Luoluo stared wide-eyed at Sang Qian opposite her. "He took the initiative to marry you, not his grandmother's request?"
Sang Qian said, "That's what his grandmother said."
"Tsk tsk, I never expected... you two are actually going in the same direction." Su Luoluo exclaimed.
The words "going in both directions" made Sang Qian's fingers, which were holding the water glass, curl slightly.
"So what are you thinking now?" Su Luoluo asked, looking at her. "Would you choose to get back together with him?"
Sang Qian stared down at the water glass she was clutching, her eyes filled with confusion. "I don't know."
After a moment of silence, she continued, "I only know that if I were to enter into marriage again, I would be very careful and would not only consider whether I like the man."
In her last marriage, she acted impulsively, thinking that liking the person was enough, and plunged headlong into it with high hopes.
Now that she has stepped outside the walls of marriage, she has slowly realized that mutual affection is only the foundation of marriage; marriage requires the joint effort of both parties.
A harmonious and lasting marriage cannot be achieved solely through the mutual affection between the two individuals.
Now that she's pregnant, it's no longer just a matter between two people. If she were to enter into marriage, she would have even more issues to consider.
Therefore, she will not, and cannot, act impulsively for love without any restraint.
"In that case, don't worry about it," Su Luoluo said. "Let time be the judge of the future."
If this man truly loves Qianqian, he will find a way to resolve her concerns and win her heart with sincerity.
Sang Qian smiled and nodded, "Mm."

For the next week, Jin Changyu seemed to be working on some big project and was quite busy. He either didn't come home for lunch or couldn't make it back for dinner.
But when he wasn't coming back, he would always send a message or call Sang Qian in advance to let her know.
He still didn't come home for dinner that evening. Sang Qian ate dinner alone, took a walk in the park for a while, and then went back to her room to read.
Around nine o'clock, I received a call from Madam Jin.
Sang Qian was a little surprised, "Grandma, you're still up so late?"
"No, haha, we just saw off some guests."
Sang Qian asked in confusion, "Are there still guests coming so late?"
"We came all for you."
Sang Qian looked on in astonishment, "For me?"
"That's right."
Madam Jin said, "Our relatives, I don't know how they found out about your pregnancy, but one by one they came to give you gifts."
Sang Qian was stunned for a moment.
It must have spread when they went to the Yan family's birthday banquet.
"They originally intended to go directly to Yuting Bay to deliver gifts and offer their congratulations, but they were all turned away when they went there."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian was taken aback and quickly explained, "How could that be? I didn't see anyone come to visit, nor did I refuse to see anyone."
"It wasn't you, it was that brat."
Madam Jin sighed, "But it's not surprising. Even I, her own grandmother, almost got turned away, let alone others?"
Remembering how she had stopped the old lady from entering the house last time, Sang Qian felt guilty and dared not speak.
Even though it was Jin Changyu who did it.
But in the old lady's eyes, they were still husband and wife as one.
“However, I approve of his approach,” said Madam Jin. “It will save you from having people coming to bother you every few days.”
Sang Qian also agreed with Jin Changyu's approach.
Because she really didn't want to socialize with the Jin family's relatives.
"I accepted the gifts they sent to me on your behalf and returned them all, so you don't need to repay their favors."
Madam Jin said, "As for those gifts, you and Changyu should come back tomorrow and take them back with you."
Sang Qian quickly declined, "Grandma, since it's a gift you gave in return, you should keep it."
Madam Jin smiled and said, "These are all gifts for you and the baby. What would an old woman like me need them for?"
"..."
Sang Qian wanted to say something, but Old Madam Jin didn't give her a chance to refuse, "You haven't come back to have dinner with me in a long time, so why don't you come back tomorrow to have a meal with me?"
Sang Qian swallowed back the words she was about to say, "...Okay, Grandma."
"Okay, it's settled then. Tell Changyu later."
"OK."
After saying goodnight to the old man, Sang Qian hung up the phone.
I glanced at the time and figured Jin Changyu should be back by now.
She asked him on WeChat, "Have you gone home yet?"
She sent the message and waited three minutes, but the person who always replied instantly did not respond.
So Sang Qian went straight out of the room to his bedroom, knocked on the door, and waited for a while, but there was no response from inside.
Could it be in the study?
Sang Qian turned and headed towards Jin Changyu's study.
As she walked to the study door, she raised her hand to knock, but then she saw the door open a crack, letting in light. Sang Qian pushed it gently with a hint of suspicion, and the door opened. She looked up and saw a man sitting at his desk, slightly hunched over, his hand supporting his forehead.
Sang Qian's eyes widened, and she quickly pushed the door open and came in. "Jin Changyu, what's wrong?"
Jin Changyu looked up at the sound, and the pain on his face was deliberately concealed the moment he saw her.
He struggled to sit up straight and looked at her. "Why did you come here?"
Seeing his pale face and lips, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Sang Qian's heart tightened suddenly. "Are you feeling unwell?"
The worry and concern that she inadvertently revealed in her eyes stirred something in Jin Changyu, who had been trying to appear strong.
His straight back bent slightly again. "My stomach hurts."
Sang Qian had never seen him so weak before, and couldn't help but feel a little bewildered. "Then, wait a moment, I'll have Old Chen take you to the hospital right away?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around to call for help, but her wrist was grabbed by a burning hot hand.
"No need, I have medicine in my bedroom."
Jin Changyu said to her, "It's in the first drawer of the bedside table, could you go get it for me?"
"good."
Sang Qian strode towards his room, opened the first drawer of his bedside table, and sure enough, saw a bottle of medicine.
It seems this isn't his first time experiencing this illness.
After getting the medicine, Sang Qian quickly returned to the study, gave it to Jin Changyu, and then went to the water cabinet next to her to pour a glass of warm water.
When Jin Changyu opened the medicine bottle to take out the medicine, Sang Qian saw that his desk was covered with open files, all of which were important documents from the same project.
I was so busy that I didn't even have time to come home for dinner. And when I did get home, I had to stay in the study and continue working...
Sang Qian looked at the man who was tilting his head back to take his medicine, and felt a dull ache in her heart.
After he finished taking his medicine, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling better?"
Her stomach still hurt a little, but Jin Changyu gave her a reassuring smile, "You'll be fine after a rest."
"Shall I help you to the sofa to rest?"
Despite his stomach ache, Jin Changyu felt a warm glow in his heart as he looked at the woman who cared for him so tenderly.
"good."
He stood up, and a pair of slender, soft hands took his arm. Jin Changyu wasn't in a situation where he needed help, but...
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to get close to him since the divorce, so how could he bear to refuse?
